Chapter 389: 358 This time, it’s really playing with fire and burning oneself (2 more)_1

Soon, they arrived at the Hua City Government Hall.

President Ke led Lu Han out of the car, instructed Driver Wang to park the vehicle in an appropriate spot, and then wait for them.

"Yes."

After that, the two entered the Government Hall. President Ke went straight to the reception desk and quietly communicated with the young lady there.

Unexpectedly, when she learned that they were from Huanan Hospital, she did not let them pass, "I’m sorry, the notice we received today is for President Jiang from Hua City Central Hospital, not the president and doctors from Huanan Hospital."

"President Ke, did you get the time wrong? Why don’t you go back first, and come back once the time is confirmed?"

"Is it still necessary? Has President Jiang arrived yet?"

"He’s upstairs."

"I see, young lady, look, we’ve already come all this way, and besides, our Doctor Lu once treated the distinguished Mr. Wu for his ear condition. Why don’t you go and speak to your superiors about it?"

"I can’t do that, President Ke. Please don’t make things difficult for us, okay? It goes against our work procedures, and we’ll be punished."

President Ke was dissatisfied with the young lady’s work attitude.

After all, he was the head of a hospital. Was this young lady really not giving him any face at all?

Moreover, hadn’t he hinted quite obviously?

Who within their system didn’t know about the esteemed Mr. Wu staying in their Huanan Hospital for a week?

At the end of the year, the funding allocated to their hospital was sure to be more than that for other hospitals.

Soon, Huanan Hospital would be on par with Hua City Central Hospital, and in the future, it would naturally surpass Hua City Central Hospital, making Huanan the most formidable hospital in Hua City.

If he could lead Huanan Hospital to such achievements, it would be greatly beneficial for his own future advancements.

At that moment, there was a ding sound, and the elevator arrived, discharging a group of people in sharp suits.

"Hey, Lu Han, what brings you here?" The person in the lead greeted Lu Han as soon as he saw him.

Everyone: "..."

Jiang Tao, who was at the back of the group, and President Ke, standing by the reception still trying to think of how to persuade the young lady to let him and Lu Han in, were both stunned by the warm greeting directed at Lu Han.

Lu Han didn’t make a sound and maintained a cold demeanor.

President Ke immediately felt his legs go weak several times in fright—Lu Han actually knew Director Mo?

And it was that most influential person from Beijing?

How did Lu Han know him?

Yes, of course, he was being foolish. Someone like Mr. Wu had personally requested Lu Han to perform his surgery, which showed that they knew each other, didn’t it?

If Lu Han could know someone like Mr. Wu, then naturally knowing Mo Xiu wasn’t strange at all, was it?

Lu Han’s cold expression, as seen by Jiang Tao and President Ke, came across as this youngster being so incredibly aloof even in the presence of Director Mo.

This kid really wasn’t afraid of death.

Mo Xiu, however, didn’t mind Lu Han’s coldness towards him. As he walked over, with a swarm of people naturally following him, he repeated his question when he reached them.

"I’m asking you, kid, what brings you here? I called you yesterday to invite you to lunch, and you said you didn’t have time because you had to work, didn’t you?" Mo Xiu had been maintaining a cold expression all morning, but now, seeing Lu Han, he was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

It was quite jarring for everyone.

Yet, not a single person dared to step forward and say anything.

"Our president asked me to come meet someone. You should ask him," Lu Han said, pointing in the direction of President Ke.

As soon as President Ke saw everyone’s gaze fixed on him, he dared not continue to wobble and wished he could crawl over, desperately eager to explain himself to the leaders.

"Ke Chenggong? You’re Ke Chenggong, right?" He Wei, the vice director next to Mo Xiu, recognized his old classmate.

Ke Chenggong was ashamed, he felt intimidated by Mo Xiu, but for the old classmate next to Mo Xiu, he had not a shred of fondness.

Even if he was now vice director.

In Ke Chenggong’s eyes, his old classmate’s success was all because he was a kept man, marrying a wife who had her own wealth and was remarkable in every respect.

On this point, he couldn’t compete; who made him less handsome when he was young, and not as good at currying favor?

By the time he realized that he needed to pander to others’ preferences, he had no idea how many walls he had hit or losses he had suffered before he summed up this precious life lesson.

But by then, he wasn’t young anymore.

However, experts were right, it’s never too late to start.

Once he understood that, his days started to move in a better direction.

"Yes, Director He." Ke Chenggong nodded, his heart may be discontent, but he wouldn’t show it.

"Ha, I’m a vice director, it’s not appropriate for you to call me Director He, especially in front of Director Mo. Besides, we are old classmates, you can just call me by my name," He Wei earnestly corrected Ke Chenggong’s wording.

He had been promoted by Mo Xiu himself, and in front of Mo Xiu, He Wei always maintained a humble attitude.

He was always unassuming, and if it weren’t for his solid character and quality, Mo Xiu wouldn’t have promoted him exceptionally.

"..."

Ke Chenggong felt awkward, he had intended to make a good impression, but now it seemed like he had botched things.

And then there was He Wei, making a big deal out of a simple mistake in address; would a simple acknowledgment of the error not suffice?

"I’m sorry, Director Mo." Ke Chenggong quickly apologized to Mo Xiu.

"There’s nothing to apologize for. He Wei has outstanding work capabilities. When I retire, I will recommend him for the director position," Mo Xiu replied generously.

After that, Mo Xiu stopped paying attention to Ke Chenggong. "Lu Han, since you’re here, join us for a meal. Besides, there are some work-related matters we’d like to discuss with frontline doctors like you."

"Sure, as long as I don’t have to pay."

"Hahaha, look at how stingy you are. What, haven’t saved up enough for your wife’s dowry yet? I’ve got some spare, just tell me how much you need," Mo Xiu patted Lu Han’s shoulder and said this on purpose.

The Lu family’s young master wanted to keep a low profile, avoiding revealing his identity in public, and his uncle was naturally going to play along.

"That won’t be necessary, my wife doesn’t mind how much money I have," Lu Han said confidently.

Indeed, Tang Su was like that. For a long while before, she thought he only had his doctor’s salary, and she even proactively told him that with her two shops’ monthly revenue plus his salary, they would have a very good life.

"Then you really care about your girlfriend. Since you speak so highly of her and both parents have met, you should take action soon. I, Uncle Mo, am still waiting to drink at your wedding, and I’ve got the big red envelope ready," Mo Xiu teased.

"..."

Ke Chenggong, following behind the crowd, nearly stumbled.

Behind Lu Han was a powerful figure like Mo Xiu, and he was actually calling Mo Xiu Uncle; what was their relationship?

But if the resources behind Lu Han were so substantial, with his connections and resources, let alone a department head, even the position of president might be within reach despite his age, and he definitely could have secured a vice president’s role.

So why was he condescending to stay at Huanan Hospital?

And him, he had actually allowed Feng Zheng to humiliate Lu Han in every possible way.

Done for, this time, he had truly played with fire and got burned.
