Cai Rongjuan had never encountered such an arrogant young man. She always thought that she held a respectable position in Changxing. Even the hospital director, Gu Houyi, would treat her courteously. After all, she was one of the hospital’s symbols. This was simply too disrespectful.
Cai Rongjuan was trembling with anger, and she called Zhou Wenbin, the director of the dical office.
As soon as Zhou Wenbin picked up the call, Cai Rongjuan’s anger burst forth: "Zhou Wenbin, what kind of people do you have in your dical office? How have you been instructing your subordinates..."
"I’m in a eting!" Zhou Wenbin quickly hung up the phone, which started ringing again just as he did. Deciding not to answer, Zhou Wenbin was already resentful towards Tan Guoliang after the incident with Wang Dalei. Now that Tan Guoliang’s wife was in trouble again, regardless of who’s at fault, Cai Rongjuan, you’re not qualified to bla .
Xu Chunliang returned to the dical office, and Cheng Xiaohong quickly approached him as he arrived: "Didn’t Director Cai co?"
"Whether she cos or not is up to her. We owe her nothing."
Cheng Xiaohong was a little anxious: "This is very troubleso."
"What’s so troubleso? Soldiers co to block, water cos to cover. First, ask what her demands are, and we’ll help convey it." Xu Chunliang didn’t want to get involved in this and returned to his office to continue reading.
Soon, loud noises were heard from the diation room next door, as Cheng Xiaohong was unable to handle Tong ili, who was highly agitated.
"Xu Chunliang, co quickly!"
Upon hearing Cheng Xiaohong’s call for help, Xu Chunliang hurried over and was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Tong ili had climbed onto the window sill of the diation room, making a move as if to jump out the window.
Tong ili scread, "You are all in collusion, complicit in cri! You ruined my appearance and won’t take responsibility. How am I supposed to live the rest of my life? I won’t live anymore!"
Cheng Xiaohong was terrified: "Sister Tong, can we first talk things over down here?"
"I won’t co down. If Changxing Hospital can’t give a clear explanation today, I’ll jump from up here."
Xu Chunliang made a call to the Security Section. This ti, they didn’t dare to delay. Section Chief Yu Xiangdong led over a dozen security guards to rush over quickly.
Xu Chunliang remained silent on the scene. His intuition told him that Tong ili was not going to jump; she was just putting on a show, wanting to create an impact. The more she acted this way, the less likely she was to commit suicide. Besides, the dical office was on the second floor; even if she did jump, she wouldn’t die.
After understanding the situation, Yu Xiangdong first sent a few security guards downstairs to check. On this side, he called Cai Rongjuan, urging her to co over quickly. If a life were lost, this matter would be difficult to resolve.
Upon hearing that Tong ili was about to jump, Cai Rongjuan dared not delay any longer and hurried to the scene.
Yu Xiangdong also contacted the police. Before they arrived, Zhou Wenbin, having heard the news, had already hurried over. Although the dical dispute was with the Costic Surgery Departnt, soone had climbed the dical office’s window. If they indeed jumped, the dical office would also have to bear responsibility.
Xu Chunliang maintained a detached attitude at the scene, having no fondness for Cai Rongjuan. Aren’t you arrogant? Then be bold enough not to co here.
Now Cai Rongjuan had lost her composure, her usually haughty face squeezed into a pleasing smile: "Tong ili, step down first, and then we can talk."
Tong ili said, "I see no point in living; I don’t want to live. You’ve disfigured ."
Cai Rongjuan replied, "But you look quite good."
"Nonsense! You lie with your eyes open. Can’t you see how you’ve made one eye bigger than the other? Are you blind?"
Cai Rongjuan, publicly insulted by her, did not dare to retort, fearing she might accidentally provoke Tong ili. What if she really jumped?
Zhou Wenbin said, "Ms. Tong ili, we’re all here. Please co down. What issues can’t be discussed? Can’t be resolved? You have to tell us your demands at least?"
Tong ili never intended to jump; she just wanted to make an impact. Seeing she had tossed everyone into action, her objective was achieved. She ca down from the window sill: "I can’t die. If I die, wouldn’t it be letting you off easy?"
Since the crisis was averted, there was no longer a need to call the police. Yu Xiangdong quickly contacted them, saying they didn’t need to co. He understood it was a farce orchestrated by Tong ili herself.
Tong ili returned to the sofa to sit. The tea had already gone cold, and she asked Cheng Xiaohong to get her a new cup of water.
Zhou Wenbin exchanged a few words with Yu Xiangdong, asking him to take the security guards outside first. They didn’t want to cause too much commotion, lest it alard the hospital managent and they got criticized. Zhou knew that today’s disturbance was already significant; the director must have known, and he wasn’t sure how he would be reprimanded later.
With the diation room door closed, Tong ili looked at Cai Rongjuan and said, "Director Cai, you seem really busy."
"I’ve always been busy with work. Is your commotion really necessary?"
"No, being alive is pointless. If I die one day, it’ll be your fault, and even as a vengeful spirit, I won’t let you go."
Cai Rongjuan shuddered inside. How hadn’t she realized before that Tong ili was such a difficult person?
Zhou Wenbin advised them all to remain calm. eting here was mainly to resolve issues, and whatever discontent Tong ili had, she could say it openly before everyone.
Tong ili said, "How many tis do I need to say it? Her surgical mishap, she botched my eyelid surgery. Now my eyes are uneven. Since the surgery, they itch and hurt. My vision is blurry, and I can’t even close my eyes. She’s ruined my life."
Cai Rongjuan refused to acknowledge her bla: "Where’s the unevenness? If you think my surgery had issues, you can request an expert assessnt. If the assessnt results prove it was my surgical responsibility, I definitely won’t avoid it."
"Everyone knows you’re in cahoots; your assessnts have no credibility."
"If you don’t trust our hospital’s assessnt, you can go to the city; if the city’s results don’t satisfy you, go to the province. If you find even the province’s assessnt unconvincing, you can continue seeking more authoritative bodies. Whether it was a surgical mishap is not for you to decide." Cai Rongjuan was unyielding in her professional stance, arguing firmly from reason.
Though not in costic surgery, being a surgeon himself, from Zhou Wenbin’s professional perspective, Tong ili’s double eyelid surgery was successful, without any mismatch. Claims of itchiness, pain, and blurry vision were subjective patient experience, whose authenticity awaited verification.
"Ms. Tong ili, do you have any specific demands?" Zhou Wenbin intended to first uncover Tong ili’s bottom line. In most dical disputes, the majority demand compensation, which he expected might be the case with Tong ili as well.
Tong ili scoffed, saying, "What do you an? Do you think I’m deliberately extorting your hospital for compensation? We’re not short of money." She raised her hand, showcasing her jade bracelet, "This bracelet alone could equal your lifeti’s salary."
Cai Rongjuan gave it a glance, thinking it couldn’t be that valuable. She also liked jade; while the bracelet was indeed of icy quality, the price wasn’t exaggerated to that extent. From her interactions with Tong ili, the woman seed vulgar and conventional, though her family condition was admittedly good, with her husband working in civil engineering, a typical nouveau riche. But to say a bracelet could match her lifeti’s earnings? It underestimated the doctors. Comparatively, Cai Rongjuan felt her own family might be more well-off.
Zhou Wenbin asked, "Then what exactly is your demand?"
Tong ili replied, "What I want now is for Changxing Hospital to acknowledge the surgical mishap, recognize the irreversible damage caused to . I want the perpetrator to publicly apologize and compensate for all the physical and ntal harm this surgery caused , while retaining all rights to pursue further responsibilities!"
Inwardly, Zhou Wenbin took a deep breath: this woman had evidently done her howork, coming well-prepared. Without ntioning a specific sum, he could determine from her words that what she wanted wouldn’t be a small amount.
Cai Rongjuan believed Tong ili was intentionally causing trouble. Having perford countless double eyelid surgeries with nearly no errors, she thought the surgery effect on Tong ili should have been quite good. Accusations of ruining her appearance—how could anyone ruin anything from that base?
Concerning her reputation, Cai Rongjuan was unwilling to take responsibility and coldly said, "Tong ili, if you insist on thinking this way, you can seek an assessnt. If it doesn’t work out, you can file a lawsuit."
Tong ili retorted, "Is this your hospital’s attitude? People say Changxing’s dical ethics are low, and now I’ve experienced it firsthand."
Cai Rongjuan said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll return. I have patients waiting." She got up to leave, and Tong ili grabbed her: "Don’t think you can leave without clarifying things!"
Cai Rongjuan wasn’t one to tolerate this, shouting angrily: "Let go!" She forcefully shook her hand, making Tong ili let go. Unexpectedly, Tong ili’s jade bracelet slipped off, fell to the floor with a clang, and shattered into pieces.
Everyone present was stunned. Tong ili scread, squatting to pick up the shattered bracelet, heartbroken: "Cai Rongjuan, you owe a bracelet!"
