219: Chapter 0220: Xingyue Group 219: Chapter 0220: Xingyue Group Shen Yueru’s parents were both around fifty years old, her father nad Shen Zhigang founded a clothing brand company before his children were born.
After the birth of his two daughters, he renad the company Xingyue Group.
Now, he had retired early and only held the honorary title of the group’s chairman, leaving all the work to his two daughters.
However, since the eldest daughter, Shen Xingru, was not in good health, most of the work was managed by Shen Yueru.
At the mont, Shen Zhigang and his wife, Tang Shuzhen, were having morning tea at a teahouse.
The couple already knew their eldest daughter was hospitalized and planned to visit her at the hospital after finishing their morning tea.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhigang’s mobile phone rang.
He took it out, saw it was a call from his younger daughter, and asked, “Yueru, it’s Dad.
What’s the matter?”
“Dad, there’s been a bit of trouble,”
said Shen Yueru from the other end.
“Go ahead,”
“Zhizhi’s heart condition has relapsed, and it’s serious now at Jinling Hospital,”
said Shen Yueru over the phone.
“Isn’t your brother-in-law there?”
Shen Zhigang’s expression changed; he hadn’t expected that not long after his eldest daughter was hospitalized, his grandson’s condition would beco so severe.
Even though he had weathered many storms in his life, his expression was now noticeably different.
“I can’t get through to his phone,”
said Shen Yueru.
“That bastard is going to be the death of your sister.”
Back when that guy pursued Shen Xingru, Shen Zhigang could tell he was a playboy, not seeming like an honest man suited for dostic life, and now, less than a year into their marriage, things had co to this.
But now wasn’t the mont to talk about that scoundrel; he said, “Yueru, your mother and I are on our way,”
As soon as Shen Zhigang realized how serious his grandchild’s situation was, he lost his appetite for morning tea and said to Tang Shuzhen by his side, “Zhizhi’s condition is not good, we should go to the hospital first.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Shuzhen’s complexion also changed.
Just as the waitress had brought the snacks they ordered, Shen Zhigang went to the front desk to settle the bill, saying, “I have sothing urgent to attend to, we won’t be having our morning tea.”
However, since they had already ordered, they would definitely need to settle the bill.
After paying, Shen Zhigang and Tang Shuzhen hurriedly left the teahouse and got into Shen Zhigang’s BMW.
Shen Zhigang drove towards Jinling Hospital.
Upon arriving at Jinling Hospital, Shen Zhigang parked the car, and as the two of them entered the lobby on the first floor, he called Shen Yueru again.
When Shen Yueru knew her parents had reached the first floor, she ca downstairs.
Shen Yueru went straight to her mother, Tang Shuzhen, embraced her, and then looked towards her parents and said, “Zhizhi’s situation is not optimistic; he’s been moved to the ICU.
I have just signed the consent form with the hospital.”
After hearing this, both Shen Zhigang and Tang Shuzhen were visibly shocked.
Shen Zhigang strode ahead, with Shen Yueru and Tang Shuzhen following behind.
Zhizhi was only months old, and if he didn’t pull through this ti, he might not make it.
What concerned the mother and daughter most now was Shen Xingru.
If Shen Xingru were to learn of this, they feared her condition might worsen.
Shen Zhigang quickly ascended the stairs, going straight to find the hospital’s dean, Zhang Weimin.
With Shen Zhigang and Xingyue Group’s reputation, Dean Zhang Weimin certainly knew Shen Zhigang.
Zhang Weimin had just arrived at the office door when Shen Zhigang knocked; the secretary inside, a female secretary, opened the door but did not recognize Shen Zhigang and the other two.
Nevertheless, by Shen Zhigang’s attire, she could tell he was no ordinary person.
“May I ask, who are you?”
The secretary asked.
“My na is Shen Zhigang, I’m here to see your Director Zhang.”
“Mr.
Shen, please take a seat.
Our director has just started a eting and it may take another half hour before it ends.”
Shen Zhigang nodded.
The female secretary poured a glass of water for each of the three visitors, then continued to answer phone calls now and then.
When half an hour had passed and Zhang Weimin returned, it was difficult to tell if he was happy or unhappy, as he had heard a rumor that he might be transferred to an insignificant position within the municipal governnt departnt.
As far as Zhang Weimin was concerned, serving as the head of Jiangnan Province’s top hospital was really nice, but Zhou Peng’s influence was growing.
Zhou Peng had previously won the favor of Vice Mayor Li Zhiguo, and if Li Zhiguo were to beco the new head, Zhou Peng was likely to take over his position.
In Zhang Weimin’s opinion, he had played a significant role in curing the vice mayor’s daughter’s illness, but sohow, Zhou Peng ended up getting all the credit.
He knew it was mainly because, at the critical mont, Zhou Peng had recomnded Ye Qiu, who had saved the vice mayor’s daughter’s life.
As Zhang Weimin sighed in his heart, he felt powerless.
The hospital was rife with such rumors, and Li Zhiguo’s promotion seed like an inevitability.
Just a few days ago, the head of Jiangnan’s Work Safety Bureau and several urban managent leaders had been removed, all because of a eting led by Li Zhiguo.
It was clear to see how capable Li Zhiguo had beco.
Zhang Weimin didn’t dare offend Li Zhiguo.
As he walked into his office and saw three people sitting inside, their attire revealed that they were either wealthy or high-status.
“Hello, who might you be?”
“Director, this is Mr.
Shen Zhigang Shen.”
Zhang Weimin found the middle-aged man in front of him sowhat familiar but couldn’t quite place him.
Shen Zhigang said, “Director Zhang, I’m with Xingyue Group.”
“So you’re Chairman Shen.
I understand now, my wife and children are fond of the clothes produced by your company,” Zhang Zhigang said.
When Zhang Weimin heard it was Xingyue Group, he recognized them.
But he was puzzled as to why Chairman Shen would co to see him.
Could it be that he wanted the hospital to purchase clothing from Xingyue Group?
In fact, Jinling Hospital had many female nurses and doctors, and every year they needed to update their wardrobes, including nursing uniforms, lab coats, patient gowns, and more—a significant amount indeed.
However, Jinling Hospital usually collaborated with state-owned garnt companies and seldom with private enterprises.
Moreover, it wasn’t the ti for tendering, and he wondered why Shen Zhigang had co.
“Chairman Shen, may I know the reason for your visit?”
“My grandson’s heart condition has relapsed; it’s quite serious, and I was hoping you could help,” Shen Zhigang explained.
So that was it.
Zhang Weimin was relieved.
He had thought it was about the clothing tender.
If it were just a dical issue, there were no interests at stake for him.
“Very serious?
Which ward is he in?
I’ll check on it for you,” Zhang Weimin asked.
Shen Zhigang looked towards Shen Yueru, and she said, “Right now, he’s in the pediatric ergency room under the care of Doctor Liao Wenchang.”
“Xiaoli, give Director Liao a call for .”
