Chapter 625: Chapter 621 Knocking on the Dean’s Door

Fang Xiaocao feared that the external caregivers might be Qi Yu’s people or bribed by Qi Yu.

Using staff from her own hospital felt more reliable.

At least the hospital’s benefits and treatment were top-tier in the industry, and all staff underwent monthly reviews by Thousand Faces.

This made it more reassuring to use them.

After all, most people could distinguish between a single meal and consistent meals.

Moreover, Phoenix Nest and Swan Goose both assigned personnel to monitor the hospital staff, including the accounts of direct relatives.

If any large sums of money with unclear origins were discovered, it would be reported immediately.

The individual’s duties would be suspended, and they would either go home on paid leave or be directly terminated.

Of course, all of this was done covertly, and the hospital employees would never know.

Not even the director had the qualification to be informed.

This ensured an element of surprise and discretion.

It guaranteed that even if someone were fired, they wouldn’t know why.

Monitoring only the accounts of direct relatives and the individual was sufficient.

A normal person, unaware of being monitored, wouldn’t deposit large amounts of illicit income into unrelated accounts.

If they were backstabbed, they’d have no one to cry to.

"Yes, yes, Princess Your Highness, rest assured. I will personally select trustworthy people to care for the patient."

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s instructions, the director nodded repeatedly, patting his chest and promising to handle everything flawlessly.

Fang Xiaocao nodded: "Work hard, the group won’t mistreat you."

"In the future, the group’s hospitals will expand with new branches, and even establish an independent medical brand."

"As long as you focus on doing your job well, you might climb even further up the ladder."

Fang Xiaocao strategically dangled a bit of lucrative promise.

The director’s eyes lit up instantly upon hearing her words.

His demeanor grew even more humble.

Who wouldn’t crave power and wealth?

Given the chance to ascend higher, no one would refuse.

However—

"If you mess up this task, I’ll have to take a closer look at your kickback accounts."

Fang Xiaocao stared coldly at the director and said firmly.

The director broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing her words.

His shiny, greasy face seemed to age several years in an instant.

Pale as a ghost, even his lips had lost their color.

Fang Xiaocao was quite pleased with the director’s reaction.

A smile rose on her lips. She patted the director on his shoulder: "Relax, I know there’s no cat that doesn’t sneak a bite."

"Switching someone else in wouldn’t stop them from figuring out ways to take advantage."

"As long as you do your job well, don’t disappoint me, and avoid earning money that compromises your conscience, I won’t pursue it."

"But if you dare to deliver substandard work, siphoning off patients’ life-saving money, not even an Immortal can save you—mark my words!"

Fang Xiaocao’s blend of rewards and threats conveyed a commanding presence that was equal parts imposing and compelling.

The director nodded repeatedly, not daring to utter even half a word in objection.

His future was firmly clenched in Fang Xiaocao’s hands.

No matter how tempting others’ offers might be, the director wouldn’t dare betray Fang Xiaocao.

Because the kickbacks he had already taken as a director were enough to guarantee spending the rest of his life behind bars.

Just as Fang Xiaocao said, not even an Immortal could save him.

Unless he managed to escape abroad.

But was that even possible?

The answer was already clear to the director.

No, it was impossible. He had some understanding of Swan Goose Group and Fang Xiaocao’s influence.

The director knew that when Fang Xiaocao spoke of obeying the law, it was best to avoid any crooked ideas altogether.

If he harbored illicit thoughts,

then when Fang Xiaocao no longer felt like abiding by the law, he wouldn’t even have the chance to surrender himself to authorities.

He would silently disappear from the world without a trace.

If it really came to that, no amount of money would be of any use to him.

It might even implicate his family.

"Princess Your Highness, rest assured. From now on, I will remain loyal to you and carry out my duties diligently."

"I will strictly ensure the quality of the medicines we procure, discipline the hospital staff, refrain from harming patients, overprescribing medications, or conducting unnecessary tests."

"Anyone found violating hospital regulations will be dealt with strictly."

"If the actions are illegal, they will be reported to the police immediately, without exception."

"I will return all kickbacks to the hospital’s account as soon as I get home."

The director raised three fingers and swore an oath to Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao smiled faintly: "Relax, don’t be so nervous."

"I told you, as long as you do your job well, I won’t pursue it."

"I don’t care much about whether you’ve taken tens of millions or more."

"Not just you, but even your subordinates—so long as they don’t violate the rules I’ve set, I won’t pursue their gains either."

The more Fang Xiaocao smiled, the more unsettled the director felt.

He couldn’t decode Fang Xiaocao’s true intentions.

Nearby, Taotie, who had been watching, couldn’t bear it anymore—people like this slippery old fox often complicate everything unnecessarily.

Taotie could see very clearly, even as a brute, that Fang Xiaocao’s words were straightforward with no hidden meaning.

Yet this useless director was still overthinking things.

Taotie felt the urge to slap the director twice and replace him immediately.

"You useless director, stop spouting nonsense."

"Princess Your Highness means exactly what she says. Do your work well and she won’t pursue anything. As long as you don’t violate her rules, you can even continue skimming profits."

"But if you dare to betray her, she’ll kill you outright."

As he finished speaking, Taotie reached out and grabbed a dragon claw locust tree as thick as a wrist from the hospital’s landscaping. Under the director’s terrified gaze, he uprooted it single-handedly.

"Have I made myself clear enough?"

Taotie snarled with a menacing expression.

"C-clear, very clear."

The director stammered in response.

His ashen face looked like it could be used as a wall primer.

"Good, then replant the tree."

Taotie stuffed the uprooted dragon claw locust tree into the director’s arms.

The director nearly dropped it.

Taotie shot the director a disdainful glance.

Such a weakling—he couldn’t even hold onto a tree. What use was he?

Fang Xiaocao maintained a smile throughout, watching Taotie intimidate the director.

She suddenly realized how effective Taotie’s direct approach was.

Dealing with cunning old foxes like the director sometimes required simple, brute-force methods.

Gazing at the director, who was now visibly scared senseless, Fang Xiaocao knew it was time for her to step in.

She patted the director’s shoulder, causing him to flinch in fear: "Remember what Taotie said. As long as you don’t betray the group’s interests, I’ll ensure you remain the hospital’s director for life."

"And if the day comes when you dedicate your life to the group, I’ll make sure your descendants enjoy a lifetime of wealth and privilege."

Seeing the director’s CPU clearly overloading, Fang Xiaocao felt reassured.

Even if the director wouldn’t serve her to his dying breath, he definitely wouldn’t dare betray her.

"Alright, remember Taotie’s words and replant the tree."

"I’m going to check on that girl."

Without further attention to the director, Fang Xiaocao turned and left.

"Remember, replant the tree. I’ll come back to check on it," Taotie barked one last threatening remark at the director before quickly catching up with Fang Xiaocao and Mantis.

Left behind was the helpless and feeble director, standing confused in the wind, while the few strands of hair on his Mediterranean-style balding head were blown askew.
