Friday noon, Binhai Grand Hotel.
Chen Qiuhua walked into the Western restaurant, approaching the beautiful woman waving at him.
He gently hugged her, stepped back, and said while admiring her, "Shanshan, it's been a few months since we last t, and you've beco more and more beautiful!"
"When did you co back?"
Luo Shanshan smiled gently, gave Chen Qiuhua a once-over, and said, "I ca back two days ago. Qiuhua, it's been a few months, and you've gotten better at sweet-talking."
She picked up a beautifully wrapped small gift box from the table and said, "This is a gift I brought you from abroad."
Chen Qiuhua took it, thanked her, and then sat down opposite Luo Shanshan, taking the nu the waiter handed him, getting ready to order.
At this mont, Luo Shanshan couldn't help but twitch her nose.
She leaned closer to Chen Qiuhua and sniffed again.
Once she confird, Luo Shanshan said with so disdain, "Chen Qiuhua, what's that sll on you?"
Chen Qiuhua quickly pulled up his clothes, sniffed hard, and said, "Does it still have a sll?"
"I specifically took a shower, changed clothes, and even sprayed on so perfu."
Luo Shanshan waved her hand in front of her nose, saying, "Qiuhua, next ti, please don't spray so much perfu."
Curiously, she asked, "Hey, what have you been up to? Needing to spray so much perfu to cover up the sll!"
Chen Qiuhua chuckled and said, "I've been practicing improving my surgical skills under Lin Jie's guidance recently."
"Yesterday, I received so guidance from him and found out about my new issues."
"When I got your call, I was practicing on a pig's heart."
He changed the topic, asking, "Shanshan, are you planning to leave again after this visit?"
Luo Shanshan shook her head and said, "I ca back mainly for Pengyi's wedding, but this ti, I won't be leaving again."
"There are too many things waiting to be handled at Phoenix Mountain Hospital!"
Chen Qiuhua finished ordering lunch, handed the nu to the waiter, and asked with so confusion, "I heard Phoenix Mountain Hospital is progressing very smoothly, so why are there so many things waiting for you?"
Luo Shanshan gave a helpless smile and said, "The smooth progress you're talking about might refer to the doctor's recruitnt part!"
"With high salaries promised and a lot of cash spent, we managed to get all the attending, deputy directors, and directors in place."
"However, there are still no actions taken for residents, interns, the larger number of nurses, and administrative staff; they are all stuck in the planning stage."
Chen Qiuhua said "Oh" lightly and laughed, "Isn't this an easy thing to do?"
"With Phoenix Mountain Hospital's wealthy reputation accumulated over the past few months, once you release the recruitnt plan, you can have as many people and the type you want at your discretion."
"That is the problem!"
Luo Shanshan sighed long and said very depressively, "The salaries for these positions given by the group and the hospital's budget are quite limited. Let's put it this way, it's barely the average wage standard in Binhai City."
Chen Qiuhua was taken aback and said, "Why is it so low?"
"This is indeed a big problem, as it deviates from many people's expectations quite a bit."
"Especially now when all hospitals are raising salaries to retain and recruit people, recruiting with this wage level is very difficult!"
He tentatively asked, "Is there an issue with the cash flow?"
Luo Shanshan shook her head and said, "The group has no problem with funds, but Phoenix Mountain Hospital's total salary must be kept in check."
"Otherwise, the hospital will be like a bottomless pit, with no profitability in sight."
She lowered her voice partially and said, "I'll let you in on a number; for doctors alone, after the hospital officially opens, the total monthly salary and benefits will be around one hundred million."
"That's one hundred million. Just think how many patients we need to see to make that one hundred million back."
Chen Qiuhua laughed a little gloatingly and said, "You guys boast that over sixty percent of the deputy director and director-level doctors co from big hospitals in developed countries."
"If they're willing to co, their salaries naturally have to satisfy them, which probably ans it's three to five tis that of dostic doctors."
He rolled his eyes and analyzed knowledgeably, "Your plan is to create a top-notch private aristocratic hospital, claiming that people can enjoy the dical standards of major overseas hospitals without leaving the country."
"Usually, the number of rich people in Binhai and the country is increasing."
"This dical brand should be profitable once it's established, but you've encountered a formidable opponent, Anlin Hospital."
Chen Qiuhua chuckled and said, "I guess you're lacking confidence, which is why you want to control the budget, right?"
"Do you think you're smart?"
Luo Shanshan gave him a sidelong glance and then said dejectedly, "You're partly wrong, our opponent isn't Anlin Hospital; to be precise, it's just Lin Jie."
Thinking of Lin Jie's current reputation, Luo Shanshan couldn't help but admire, "Lin Jie is really quite the whirlwind."
"A few months ago, he was still cooped up in a clinic in Zhujia Port, known only to a few."
"And now, his fa has spread worldwide, as if he had taken off like a rocket."
"Phoenix Mountain Hospital also wants to hire a doctor who can compete with Lin Jie. But world-class doctors of this caliber are not easily tempted by money alone."
"My father has tried so thods, but none have worked at all."
At this point, Luo Shanshan's tone turned serious, "Qiuhua, I am now receiving dical guidance from Lin Jie. It's clear that your relationship with him is very good, and you've always been in the country."
"Do you know why my father's relationship with Lin Jie has beco so bad? These past few days, what I've learned has shocked ; to say their relationship is hostile is an understatent."
"Given my previous relationship with Lin Jie, this situation shouldn't have occurred."
Just then, their lunch began to be served.
Chen Qiuhua took a few bites, wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and said, "You know about the forr headquarters of the Weize Group, right?"
Luo Shanshan nodded and said, "Of course I know. I've even been there."
"The An Family's headquarters was indeed in a pri location. It has been sold to the Han Group, and they're constructing a skyscraper."
Chen Qiuhua nodded, "The Weize Group was reported for tax evasion and fined billions by governnt authorities. The An Family had no choice but to sell the company headquarters to the Han Group."
"And before that, your father had always wanted to buy that piece of land, but the An Family never sold it!"
"I don't need to explain the things behind this, do I?"
Luo Shanshan fell silent, nodded slowly, and said, "I understand. I didn't expect that even after my father returned to the country with great effort, things would still be handled so recklessly."
"Given Lin Jie's relationship with the An Family, it's natural for them to band against a common enemy."
Chen Qiuhua said solemnly, "I must tell you one more thing. I am now also standing with the An Family and Lin Jie. That domineering father of yours..."
He pointed to his nose, speaking deliberately, "Perhaps he's plotting how to give a profound lesson!"
"If one day I suddenly disappear, rember to burn so paper for by the seaside!"
Luo Shanshan's face changed completely. She grabbed Chen Qiuhua's hand and anxiously asked, "Qiuhua, what on earth has happened?"
At this point, Chen Qiuhua didn't hold back any longer and told Luo Shanshan in detail how Luo Wantong forced him to bow down by revealing his background to Han Xue.
"If the Han Family hadn't already known about my background and both trusted openly and guarded against secretly, knowing that I didn't have a hand in the old Han man's death, otherwise..."
Chen Qiuhua mocked, "The you see now might be missing limbs, hit by a car and disabled, or even drowned in the river!"
Luo Shanshan seed to lose all strength, her body slumping against the chair back, murmuring, "How could this happen, how could this happen..."
Chen Qiuhua's expression also darkened, "Fate can be cruel, can't it?"
"Shanshan, we're still friends now. Perhaps in the future, we might beco enemies..."
At this mont, Lin Jie arrived at the Binhai Ard Police General Hospital and once again entered that sealed room.
This ti, appearing on the big screen was not the familiar middle-aged man with the surna Yan, but a round-faced man who looked quite honest.
"Colonel Lin, hello! You can call Water Buffalo."
"Under the leadership's orders, I'm in charge of following up on this matter. If you have any needs, feel free to tell directly."
Lin Jie responded with an "oh," and said, "I'm here this ti to review so materials."
"As for my needs, just get ready all those materials I requested last ti."
With these words, he directly clicked on the list of docunts on the screen, opened one, and began to study it.
Once again, Water Buffalo's voice echoed in the room, "Colonel Lin, we know you're going to perform a voice recovery surgery tomorrow."
"The leadership wants to know if you can restore one person's voice to sound like another's?"
Lin Jie shook his head and said frankly, "I understand what you an, but to be honest, that's not possible."
"I can only change a person's sound quality, improve their voice so it isn't hoarse or shrill. But to what extent the voice can be restored, I'm not confident."
"There's an elent of luck involved."
"So don't expect to be able to restore soone's voice to sound like soone else's through surgery."
"Such a thing is not achievable by surgical ans, not by , nor by anyone else in this world. You'd best find other solutions."
The figure of Water Buffalo on the screen, with a solemn expression, said, "Understood, thank you Colonel Lin for your explanation."
"I won't disturb you any further. If you need anything, just call out!"
