Chapter 101 - 86: Don’t Take All the Advantages

Xu Chunliang smiled at her, indicating it was fine, and asked her to wait outside.Cheng Xiaohong had to leave first.

Zhao Xiaohui looked coldly at Xu Chunliang, "Say what you have to quickly, I don’t have time to waste on you."

Xu Chunliang smiled, "I visited you at the Women’s and Children’s Health Care Hospital before I went to Nanjiang."

Zhao Xiaohui frowned, "Does that mean anything?"

"It seems like a whole week has passed. If you wanted so-called justice, you would have already exposed this matter."

"You think I don’t dare?"

"Of course you dare, and your profession dictates that if you expose this matter, its impact would be significant and cause immeasurable losses to Changxing."

Zhao Xiaohui said, "You better agree to my terms before I completely lose hope in Changxing."

"You’re a sensible person. You know very well that once this matter is exposed, you’ll never get the compensation you expect."

"I don’t care."

"Perhaps you don’t care about money, but what about your reputation? A famous host urgently admitted for an ectopic pregnancy—believe me, it would become the biggest news in Dongzhou. By the way, you aren’t married yet, right?"

Zhao Xiaohui was startled. She hadn’t taken Xu Chunliang seriously before. What kind of tricks could a young man play? But when Xu Chunliang said these words, she suddenly realized he had found her weak spot.

"What era do we live in? I have a fiancé, and we’re getting married next year."

Xu Chunliang said, "You’re somewhat in the entertainment world and should understand the public’s love for gossip. The public is most interested in these things. If they don’t know, it’s fine, but once it’s out, all sorts of versions will spread."

"What do you mean?"

"Things may not develop as you imagine. If someone uses this to create bad news, it would affect you greatly."

Zhao Xiaohui glared at Xu Chunliang angrily. Xu Chunliang looked back at her with a smiling face, which she found incredibly annoying. She really wanted to kick him out immediately, to make him disappear from her sight, but she ultimately restrained herself.

"Changxing’s loss would be greater, right?"

Xu Chunliang glanced toward the kitchen. Zhao Xiaohui’s mother was eavesdropping with her ears cocked. Zhao Xiaohui also noticed and angrily said, "Mom, don’t you have anything else to do?"

The old lady was very afraid of her daughter and quickly hid in the kitchen.

"Changxing is public, you are private. No matter how big the loss is for Changxing, the public will cover it. If your reputation suffers because of this, only you will pay for it personally. Your industry is quite special; a small issue can ruin a person’s career. Miss Zhao, you’re so young and outstanding, you have a bright future ahead. If this event affects your future, wouldn’t it be a great loss?"

Zhao Xiaohui bit her lip. This guy was too difficult to deal with. Had she known, she would’ve had her lawyer present. She continued to resist, "I believe everyone will tell right from wrong."

"Miss Zhao, you’ll understand in the future. Right and wrong aren’t important. Not everything has to be about winning or losing. If it comes down to you and me, both parties will suffer. Killing a thousand enemies while losing five hundred of your own—what’s the point of that for you?"

Xu Chunliang lowered his voice, "Pardon my frankness, but your relationship with Chen Jianxin isn’t as good as you say. Even marriages these days succumb to betrayal, let alone you two not having registered yet, what if..."

Zhao Xiaohui’s face suddenly turned pale. Xu Chunliang’s words completely threw her off balance. What had this guy found out? What was he hinting at?

Xu Chunliang was only suspicious at first, but seeing Zhao Xiaohui’s expression now, his suspicions were almost confirmed. There was no need to spell it out. If Zhao Xiaohui was determined to fight to the end, he was prepared with a strategy and knew where to start.

Zhao Xiaohui finally managed to calm down and in a low voice said, "What exactly do you want?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I have no interest in Miss Zhao’s personal life; I only want fairness for you and fairness for Changxing. Most of the conditions you raised, our hospital can basically agree to, except we hope Miss Zhao can adjust the amount based on the actual situation. Miss Zhao, as the saying goes: don’t push things to the extreme, don’t enjoy everything to the fullest, don’t take all the advantages, and don’t use up all the wisdom."

Zhao Xiaohui bit her lip forcefully. Xu Chunliang’s words hit her heart like heavy blows.

Xu Chunliang leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, appearing completely in control of the situation, confident he had the upper hand.

After a fierce inner struggle, Zhao Xiaohui finally said, "One million yuan."

Xu Chunliang shook his head. The concession was significant, but not significant enough to satisfy him. There wasn’t much difference between three million and one million; both were exorbitantly high demands.

Zhao Xiaohui sighed, "Forget it, three hundred thousand, according to the conditions proposed by your hospital."

Xu Chunliang still shook his head.

Zhao Xiaohui was stunned, "Don’t push it too far!" She thought to herself, you said I couldn’t take full advantage, but now you’re clearly taking advantage of me.

Xu Chunliang said, "Actually, three hundred thousand isn’t that much for you. Changxing should be able to accept it too, but since I’ve come today, I can’t make a trip for nothing. Perhaps we might have the chance to become friends in the future."

Zhao Xiaohui didn’t want to become friends with him at all. This guy was simply a devil; he had seen right through her. Zhao Xiaohui was smart, and Xu Chunliang seemed to be someone who wouldn’t give up until he achieved his goal. She had no chance of winning against him.

Zhao Xiaohui said, "Friends?"

Xu Chunliang nodded, "The kind that helps each other out. You help me solve today’s problem, and if you encounter any trouble in the future, I will sincerely help you."

Zhao Xiaohui looked at Xu Chunliang. She wanted to say that she didn’t need his help, but somehow lacked the courage to say it. Although it was only the second time meeting Xu Chunliang, she felt that this person was not simple. He was right; three hundred thousand really wasn’t much. She had already given up three million, so why fret over this three hundred thousand? Give up a small portion of the benefit and gain a friend she didn’t know much about?

Zhao Xiaohui realized there was a gambling element in this. How much was this friend worth?

Two hundred thousand? One hundred thousand? The figures that emerged in her mind were repeatedly denied by Zhao Xiaohui. Once she decided to make a concession, her mindset suddenly returned to peace. She bowed her head in thought, and when she lifted it again, her eyes were as tranquil as an autumn lake: "Since we’re friends, I’ll leave this matter to you."

Xu Chunliang flashed a bright, sunny smile. Zhao Xiaohui was smarter than he had imagined: "Don’t worry, I will proceed according to the normal standards. It may not completely satisfy you, but I can guarantee fairness."

Zhao Xiaohui sighed, "Most promises made by men are never fulfilled."

Xu Chunliang took out his phone, "Let’s add each other on WeChat, and we can have a drink sometime."

No one expected Zhao Xiaohui to be persuaded in one go. Even Director Zhao Feiyang thought this matter was quite difficult. As long as this issue could be resolved, spending five hundred thousand was acceptable.

The outcome of the matter left everyone dumbfounded. Zhao Xiaohui made a concession, reducing the mental compensation from three million to thirty thousand. This was quite a significant concession.

Cheng Xiaohong shared the good news with others, emphasizing that Xu Chunliang resolved the issue as soon as he stepped in, joking that his charm was so irresistible that even a popular female host couldn’t resist.

Xu Chunliang’s extraordinary capability highlighted the mediocrity and incompetence of others, especially Huang Lide, who felt particularly embarrassed. Yet it was Deputy Director Yan Huaiyi who felt even more humiliated, pretending to be sick at home to evade responsibility.

Upon hearing that Xu Chunliang had successfully resolved the dispute, Yan Huaiyi’s illness magically disappeared. After receiving a report on the matter, he highly praised Xu Chunliang.

Actions speak louder than words, and both Huang Lide and Yang Zhen Gang had to admit that Xu Chunliang indeed had a knack for handling medical disputes. The two of them continuously discussed it but couldn’t figure out why Zhao Xiaohui suddenly changed her attitude. It was completely unscientific.

They also secretly asked Cheng Xiaohong, who was even more puzzled than they were. Although she had gone with Xu Chunliang to meet Zhao Xiaohui, Zhao Xiaohui’s change occurred while she was alone with Xu Chunliang. What exactly happened, she didn’t know either. Regarding this matter, she asked Xu Chunliang, and his answer was simply reasoning with her and touching her with emotion; Zhao Xiaohui was a reasonable person, too.

The hospital department has new disputes to handle almost daily. The nature of the issues is similar; it’s just a matter of size.

Yu Mo felt a great sense of relief after hearing the final outcome. This dispute was like a mountain weighing on her heart, and if it weren’t resolved, she would have collapsed.

Yu Mo admitted that she bore primary responsibility in this dispute and made a special apology to Zhao Xiaohui.

Although the matter with Zhao Xiaohui was resolved smoothly, the hospital couldn’t ignore the event as if it had never happened. Yu Mo’s half-year performance and job allowance were deducted. Similarly, for the responsible ultrasound doctor Cao Jing, a six-month performance deduction was also applied. Cao Jing had already passed the intermediate examination and was waiting for the hospital’s employment, but this incident delayed her appointment.

Director Wang Zhaogang of the Functional Examination Department bore leadership responsibility and had his performance and position allowance deducted for two months.

The parties involved didn’t protest. Yu Mo, knowing that Xu Chunliang was the one who resolved the issue, was full of gratitude towards him and specifically had her sister Yu Li arrange a dinner to invite Xu Chunliang to thank him.

Although the outcome regarding Zhao Xiaohui was relatively ideal, Zhao Feiyang saw the potential hazards within Changxing from this incident. He personally initiated the formation of two quality control teams to launch a one-month hospital-wide quality control inspection at Changxing Hospital. Deputy Director Qin Guoliang was appointed as the leader of the first quality control team, and the Medical Affairs Department, as an indispensable part of the quality control work, also had a representative in the quality control team.

Typically, this person should be the director of the Medical Affairs Department. Everyone thought Xu Chunliang, who now led the Medical Affairs Department’s work and successfully resolved Zhao Xiaorui’s dispute, would definitely be a natural inclusion in the quality control team. However, when the list was released, it was found that the person selected for the quality control team was Huang Lide, even leaving Huang Lide himself wondering if the leadership made a mistake.
