Chapter 39: Chapter 38 A Slightly Disdainful Look_1
A hundred and eighty thousand!
“This is plain extortion!” the man finally snapped back to reality.
He ca here originally to force Mu Lin to treat his arm and… how did things suddenly turn out like this? Initially, things were going in his favor, but now…
Zhou Jiansheng, for the first ti, realized that Mu Lin was quite the talker.
Just how many sides of her had he not seen yet?
“Extortion!” With a “bang,” one of Mu Lin’s hands slamd on the consult table nearby, “If I wanted to extort you, wouldn’t I ask for more than this asly sum? Or is it that you’re only worth this pitiful amount?” This remark left others nearby rather embarrassed.
But considering, indeed, there are many rich people, but everyone only has one life. If Mu Lin wanted to, she could practically roll in money. As for how much money the man in front of her is worth, only he can answer that.
“Director Zhou, are you just going to watch as your subordinate extorts a patient?” Unable to win the argunt over Mu Lin, he tried to turn the tables on Zhou Jiansheng, showing quite so audacity.
Pity though, whether he’s willing to take the bait is another matter altogether.
“This is between you two as private compensation, our hospital has no interference.” Zhou Jiansheng looked serious, his voice firm, “If today, Young Master Li, you were injured by soone else, then our hospital would take full responsibility. But now, the one injured is our nurse, and she was inexplicably assaulted by you, you even attempted to assault our doctor.” Zhou Jiansheng’s gaze beca severe, “Don’t you think you should take full responsibility?”
“Regarding our hospital’s consolation and compensation to Dr. Mu and the nurse, Young Master Li, you don’t need to concern yourself over them.”
The aning behind Zhou Jiansheng’s words was crystal clear.
For the trouble that you, the Young Master of the Li family caused, our hospital will take responsibility and provide compensation. You, an inexplicable troublemaker, aren’t you planning to shirk your responsibility? Of course, how you decide to handle it privately is none of the hospital’s business.
It really is sothing that soone would actually turn a blind eye in such a manner.
Regardless, Zhou Jiansheng without hesitation sided with Mu Lin, there was absolutely no need for consideration.
“Fine, you guys are brutal!” The man gasped in anger, leaving behind a check and shouting at his entourage, “Let’s go! A bunch of useless goods.”
Today was just him being unlucky, but next ti, it won’t be that simple.
However, at this mont, the man seed to have forgotten what Mu Lin did to him earlier. Next ti, would he still be able to prance around like he did today?
Watching the man and his two limping bodyguards retreat, the corners of Mu Lin’s mouth held an exceptionally evil grin.
Although she doesn’t like getting into trouble, so people seed to enjoy looking for a beating. Her occasionally stepping in was still acceptable.
Especially in the eyes of those three bystanders.
They never would’ve thought that Zhou Jiansheng would protect Mu Lin to this extent, even ignoring her willfulness without concerns of what others might say or if they would complain. Was it because Mu Lin was currently treating Elder Jing’s health? Or was it because he values Mu Lin herself?
They thought, perhaps it’s a bit of both.
…
“You, always causing trouble,” Zhou Jiansheng looked at Mu Lin after everything was over and chastised her lightly, but there was a twinkle of amusent in his eyes.
Mu Lin shrugged innocently, “Old Zhou, if nobody sses with , I don’t ss with them. This has always been my principle in the Jianghu.”
Still operating in the Jianghu.
Zhou Jiansheng felt helpless.
“Little Manni.” Mu Lin’s voice was teasing. Holding the check in her hand, she waved at the anxious-looking Xiang Manni from afar. Xiang Manni quickly ran over, her face full of worry and regret. “Dr. Mu, it’s all my fault.” If it wasn’t for her, none of these would have happened.
“It wasn’t your fault at all.” Mu Lin shook her head. Xiang Manni just happened to be an innocent victim who got slapped out of the blue.
Look at how swollen her face is. I wonder if her family would feel heartbroken seeing this or suspect that she is abusing their little nurse; she should prescribe her so good anti-inflammatory drugs later.
“Here,” she thought, passing the check to Xiang Manni, “This is your compensation. It might be less than expected, but it’s what you deserve nonetheless, don’t be too picky.”
It may be less than expected, don’t be too picky.
Zhou Jiansheng didn’t know what expression to put on at the mont.
“I can’t accept this.” Xiang Manni hurriedly shook her head to refuse. It was just a slap in the face, there’s no need for so much money. She could simply apply so ointnt herself, and the swelling would subside by tomorrow.
Also, this wasn’t the first ti she had been slapped by a patient.
However,
“If you don’t want it, I’ll tear it up.” Mu Lin forcefully stuffed the check into Xiang Manni’s hand, “This is rightfully yours.”
“But…”
“If you refuse again, I’ll get angry.” Mu Lin frowned.
“…” Xiang Manni didn’t dare say any more, but the eighty thousand check in her hand felt like a hot potato. One slap in exchange for eighty thousand, it was like a pie falling from the sky, it could literally stun soone.
Everyone around was staring at Mu Lin in surprise. They didn’t expect that she would genuinely give the money to this young nurse. However, a few doubters couldn’t help wondering if Mu Lin only did this in front of them and would take the money back later when no one was around.
Eighty thousand, in the eyes of ordinary people, is not a small fortune.
Little did they know, to Mu Lin, money is just a trailing zero and decimal point on her bank card. Eighty thousand is a sum she wouldn’t even bat an eyelid at.
That so-called Young Master of the Li family really is stingy. Claiming to give a hundred and eighty thousand, but actually gave only eighty thousand, and he calls himself rich! Hmph.
At the very least, round it up, right?
Honestly, although Mu Lin ca from so backwood, she really has no concept of money because she’s never had a shortage of it.
“If the young lass gives it to you, just accept it.” Zhou Jiansheng said to Xiang Manni who was by the side. “This is your compensation. As for your face looking like that, I won’t say much more. I’ll give you a couple of days off, you can co back to work once your face heals.”
Otherwise, walking around with a face like that, not only would she feel uncomfortable, the patients would also chatter about it.
Under Mu Lin’s slightly annoyed gaze, Zhou Jiansheng awkwardly touched his nose.
Incidents of nurses being mistreated are common in hospitals. In that regard, what he did was already quite comndable. Too much and he might face collective protest from the other doctors and nurses.
“Thank you, Director.” Xiang Manni didn’t say much more but her admiration and affection for Mu Lin deepened. Mu Lin had actually stood up for her.
In the future, she would definitely work hard and aid Dr. Mu.
“I’ll prescribe so dication for you later, pack up and head ho. Get so rest.” Mu Lin said, then turned to the two middle-aged n standing at the front, “You two, bring the patient with
inside.” After finishing her sentence, she turned and walked towards the interior with Zhou Jiansheng and Xiang Manni.
The two n finally experienced what it was like to have a pie fall from the sky. As it turns out, their decision earlier was correct. Even though they didn’t help Dr. Mu, but she saw everything…
With that in mind, they excitedly led their respective patients towards Mu Lin’s clinic, leaving behind a group of people deep in thought and brimming with envy.
The three folks listening by the wall exchanged looks and followed.
It seems that this Mu Lin is indeed a complex and difficult to understand woman.
