Chapter 449: Chapter 0450: Zhou Peng Promoted to Dean

Jinling Hospital’s management was in a transitional period. Although Zhang Weimin was still the director of Jinling Hospital, he would soon be transferred to the health bureau to work, and Zhou Peng would rise from deputy director to director, officially taking his place.

Everyone at Jinling Hospital had already heard the winds of change; Zhang Weimin was just getting by, waiting for the official appointment letter from above.

As for the couple from Ning Corporation’s vice-chairperson, Zhang Weimin knew that he still needed to warmly greet them.

After personally pouring a cup of tea for Ning Yuan and He Shan, Zhang Weimin asked what they needed from him.

"Director Zhang, my son Le has contracted a strange illness."

He Shan said.

"What kind of strange illness?"

Zhang Weimin had already turned to Doctor Li.

"Director, the illness young master Ning has contracted is severe bromhidrosis. This morning, Director Zhou had already diagnosed it, and Ning had undergone laser surgery treatment. However, the condition worsened in the afternoon."

Zhang Weimin naturally knew that bromhidrosis was akin to body odor, just like bad breath, which could easily affect one’s social interactions if contracted.

"What does Director Zhou say now?"

Zhang Weimin asked again.

"Director Zhou also can’t figure it out; this is the first time he has encountered such a case."

With so many patients coming and going every day at Jinling Hospital, such peculiar cases of bromhidrosis were normal.

"I made a phone call asking Director Zhou to take you over for a look."

Zhang Weimin phoned Zhou Peng’s office, and Zhou Peng, receiving the call, quickly came over.

Now, Zhou Peng was essentially the acting director of Jinling Hospital, though officially he was still the deputy director. When he entered Zhang Weimin’s office and heard that the Ning family, Ning Yuan and his wife, had come, Zhou Peng appeared very enthusiastic.

This enthusiasm was different from that of Zhang Weimin.

Even though Zhou Peng was now esteemed as the director, his nature of flattering and pleasing high-ranking officials and wealthy people seemed innate.

"It turns out to be Director Ning, and Mrs. Director Ning."

Zhou Peng greeted them with a smile.

Ning Yuan was still unaware of the current situation in the management of Jinling Hospital. Doctor Li hadn’t mentioned anything to them just now, but when he saw Zhou Peng, he seemed to respect Zhou Peng even more.

Zhou Peng and Mr. and Mrs. Ning left Zhang Weimin’s office and then personally went to Ning Yuan’s private ward; as soon as Zhou Peng entered,

a pungent odor hit him.

Why does it smell so awful?

Zhou Peng soon found out that it was indeed the young master of the Ning family who had contracted this severe case of bromhidrosis.

After Zhou Peng examined Ning Le, He Shan asked, "Director Zhou, how is my son’s condition?"

"It can be treated, definitely treatable."

This surprised Doctor Li.

Could Director Zhou also treat this illness?

"Director Zhou, then please quickly treat my son!"

He Shan urged anxiously.

"It’s not me who can treat him, but there is definitely someone who can."

Upon hearing that a wealthy family’s patient could not be treated by Jinling Hospital’s doctors, Zhou Peng immediately thought of Ye Qiu.

This Ye Qiu had benefited him economically and had also facilitated his rise in the bureaucratic ladder.

Zhou Peng knew that the person he owed the most thanks to was Ye Qiu.

"Who is it? Which doctor?"

Ning Yuan asked.

"I’ll call him first to ask."

Zhou Peng came out from Ning Le’s hospital room, went outside, and dialed Ye Qiu on his mobile phone.

Soon after Ye Qiu picked up, he asked, "What’s up?"

"Dr. Ye, did you buy the house?"

"Yes, at Peach Blossom Source Residential Area."

Zhou Peng naturally knew of that luxurious residential area and was surprised that Ye Qiu had purchased a mansion there so quickly. However, considering Ye Qiu’s unparalleled medical skills and how easily he could earn money, it made sense.

"When will you move in?"

"In a few days, come by whenever you have time," Ye Qiu still sounded indifferent.

"I will, definitely."

In his eyes, it was the perfect time to strengthen his relationship with Ye Qiu. Knowing that he had become the hospital director, he would definitely need Ye Qiu’s help in the future.

Moreover, Ye Qiu’s engagements with the Li Zhiguo couple, and even with Li Qiangin, were not simplistic; he had to make himself appealing to Ye Qiu in any possible way.

"Nothing else, I’m hanging up."

"Dr. Ye, so here’s the thing, the young master of the Ning family has developed a severe case of bromhidrosis; I’m not sure if you would come to treat him. If you’re not interested, I’ll let them know now."

Ye Qiu did not expect that the young master of the Ning family had sought him out so urgently.

Ye Qiu of course wanted to treat him; otherwise, who would pay for that license plate he had bid for?

"I’ll see first," Ye Qiu still spoke without any hint of excitement.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you here at Jinling Hospital."

After hanging up with Ye Qiu, Zhou Peng was very happy, partly because Ye Qiu’s house would be ready soon, and he had already verbally invited him to visit.

Besides, treating the young master of the Ning family might just earn him some money.

Even though it was very easy for him to make money after being promoted to hospital director—such as through the procurement of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, which all required his signature—he now had other means to make money and thus, Zhou Peng no longer wished to partake in underhand dealings. He was aspiring to climb even higher in his career, ideally reaching the position at the health department, which would bring great honor to his family.

Dr. Li, in the hospital room, had discreetly informed Ning Yuan and his wife about Zhou Peng’s new status; only then did they realize that Zhou Peng had been promoted to the director of Jinling Hospital, currently just waiting for the formal appointment letter from the city government.

"Director Zhou, congratulations!"

Ning Yuan said.

"Congratulations on what?"

"Congratulations on climbing another rung up the ladder," Ning Yuan said.

"Haha, it’s nothing; much of it was thanks to knowing Dr. Ye. I just called Dr. Ye, and he agreed to come and check on Ning Le, though whether he will agree to treat him later, I’m not sure."

The doctors and female nurses at Jinling Hospital had all heard rumors about Ye Qiu, and of course, Dr. Li was no exception.

This impressive young Dr. Ye had not only saved the life of Mayor Li’s daughter but also treated many other wealthy people!

If he were to treat Ning Le, Dr. Li felt confident that Ye Qiu would cure him.

However, Dr. Li had heard that Dr. Ye was very money-minded; he charged millions when treating wealthy patients, so Ning Yuan and his wife needed to be prepared mentally.

"You folks wait here; I’ll go back to my office first. Once Dr. Ye arrives, I’ll escort him up here to check on Ning Le."

Zhou Peng left the hospital room. He found the odor in there unbearable, to the verge of feeling nauseous, so he decided it was best to head back to his office.

Once Zhou Peng had left, Dr. Li turned to the Ning family and said, "Mr. Ning, you need to be prepared; Dr. Ye usually charges millions for treating those wealthy people."
