Chapter 629 - 289: Digging for Details, Professional Medical Racketeers
It’s almost like warning these few people, no matter what your background is, I’m not someone who can be easily manipulated.
I have powerful backing behind me.
In fights among adults, some things don’t need to be said openly.
People who immediately say they know some director, some leader, are purely thoughtless. If you truly have connections, in the current strict environment, who isn’t secretly dealing with affairs?
Name-dropping some leader only makes you look low-class.
It also inadvertently leaks your trump card.
If someone records and posts it online, your backing will get into trouble.
People who say such things are either vain, brainless women, or drunk men.
They mostly regret it immediately after, it’s momentary satisfaction.
"If there’s anything, just say it in front of everyone here, no need to go to the office!"
A man around fifty years old said.
Li Jingsheng noticed that neither the two men nor the two women showed extreme sadness or anger. The feeling was that these two men seemed very ’calm’.
That’s really the feeling I get.
Having trained in the Old Street of South City for over a year, Li Jingsheng had developed quite sharp eyes, unlikely to mistake what he saw.
"Are there four of you as the child’s family?"
Li Jingsheng asked.
"Yes! If you don’t give us an explanation today, tomorrow it won’t just be four people coming."
The older man said coldly.
Li Jingsheng nodded, easily hearing the threat in the man’s words.
At this moment, Tang Ping and Dr. Shao, along with others, also came out and stood beside Li Jingsheng.
Dr. Shao looked at Li Jingsheng with a face full of guilt.
He felt like a jinx. Despite being very careful, he still brought trouble to Li Jingsheng’s clinic.
Pulling Li Jingsheng to one side, Dr. Shao said extremely apologetically, "Boss, I’m sorry for causing such a big problem for you. I’ll take responsibility for my actions alone, you can fire me, so that the negative impact can be minimized."
Dr. Shao could be considered a conscientious person.
Li Jingsheng indeed did him a great favor, not only saving him when he was in a dire situation but also strongly encouraging him to reconcile with his divorced ex-wife.
Working at Li Jingsheng’s clinic, earning over ten thousand a month was definitely achievable.
Reconciliation with his ex-wife was also quite hopeful.
Everything was moving in a positive direction.
Who would have thought such a tricky problem would occur?
In Dr. Shao’s career, it’s not the first time something happened.
He already had deep psychological scars.
Facing this situation, even if he was justified, he didn’t feel confident.
He was more worried about dragging Sunshine Clinic down.
"Old Shao, from the day I brought you in, I prepared for the worst. It’s not your fault, even if it were, I’d work hard to help you bear it. This place is a clinic, not a heartless Qiaobang Hospital.
The story of the incident, Tang Ping already told me, you have no fault.
There’s no need to carry any psychological burden, just stand tall and carry on. Leave the rest for me to handle."
Li Jingsheng’s few sincere words almost moved Shao Bing to tears.
No longer concerned with Shao Bing, Li Jingsheng always felt the four trouble-making family members seemed strange.
But he couldn’t pinpoint it.
At this moment, Tang Ping also came over.
"Sister Tang, which woman is the child’s mother?"
Li Jingsheng prepared to identify the child’s family members first. Currently, the one who spoke was the middle-aged man with a crew cut around fifty years old.
The other man, in his forties, didn’t speak much, but his gaze was fierce.
Frankly, he seemed brought in for intimidation.
"The child’s mother hasn’t come! Should be at the hospital!"
Tang Ping glanced at the two riotous women and whispered.
"Who’s the child’s father then?"
Li Jingsheng wanted to talk to the primary guardian of the child, if the mother didn’t come, then what’s the story with the two middle-aged women?
The child’s aunt? Grandmother?
"The child’s father probably hasn’t come either."
Tang Ping’s answer rendered Li Jingsheng speechless.
So, none of the immediate family members came to cause a fuss all morning!
"Is the older man the child’s grandfather?"
"Not sure."
Tang Ping shook her head again.
She was indeed too honest.
Allowing these four people to cause a fuss all morning without even knowing their identities.
At this moment, Li Jingsheng saw a familiar face among the onlookers, none other than Boss Zhao.
Seeing Sunshine Clinic in big trouble, Boss Zhao should be secretly pleased.
After all, with Li Jingsheng’s current strength, Boss Zhao wouldn’t dare have any ulterior motives against him anymore.
But others causing trouble at Sunshine Clinic couldn’t be blamed on Boss Zhao.
"Old Zhao, come over here!"
Seeing Boss Zhao trying to sneak away with a shrunken head, Li Jingsheng quickly beckoned to him.
The trouble-making family members waited a long time and seemed displeased.
"I say, you’ve been discussing for half a day, what’s the explanation you’re planning to give?"
The crew-cut man asked, tone unfriendly.
"Why the hurry? You’ve been causing a commotion at my clinic all morning, what’s a few more minutes? If you’re tired, you can rest in our office."
Li Jingsheng already felt these four trouble-making family members were a bit odd.
Now he learned from Tang Ping that none of them were the child’s parents, and even the grandparents might not be present.
So what exactly are these four doing?
The child’s parents and grandparents aren’t anxious, but these people are here to make trouble for money?
We’re all adults, the so-called explanation, isn’t it just about compensation in the end?
If the other party hadn’t made such a big fuss, Li Jingsheng might have endured it for the sake of the clinic’s business, offering a thousand or eight hundred as charity.
But now that they’ve blown things out of proportion, and the clinic hasn’t made any mistakes, it’s not Sunshine Clinic that owes them an explanation, but rather they owe Sunshine Clinic an explanation.
Having gone through multiple growth experiences, Li Jingsheng now handles matters with a hint of leadership stability and wisdom.
He already had a solution in mind, but after meeting the four troublemakers, he showed no trace of it.
He was waiting for the right moment.
To catch them off guard, or to find an opportunity to strike back and gain the upper hand in public opinion.
People share a common trait: sympathizing with the weak.
The more aggressively these four people stir things up now, the quicker the public opinion will sway to Sunshine Clinic’s side.
The onlookers are still siding with the four people, merely because it’s instinct to sympathize with the underdog.
Many patients have experienced issues after treatment in hospitals, where large institutions bully clients, offering no reasonable explanation to patients and their families.
As for compensation, without making a big scene, it’s impossible to get any.
Boss Zhao walked over with slightly slumped shoulders.
"Brother Li, let me declare, I came upon hearing Sunshine Clinic was in trouble, wanting to see if there’s any way I could help."
Basically, he was explaining himself to Li Jingsheng.
This matter has nothing to do with me, you can’t suspect I hired someone to do it.
"Do you know these four people?"
Li Jingsheng knew Boss Zhao was well-connected and informed.
In such streetwise tactics and tricks, Boss Zhao was practically a progenitor.
"Don’t know them. But I can sense their rogue vibe."
Boss Zhao squinted his eyes, pulling Li Jingsheng aside to whisper.
"I also feel something is off about these four people. Tell me what you think."
Li Jingsheng didn’t smoke, otherwise, he would have offered Boss Zhao a cigarette.
Boss Zhao didn’t smoke either, but he drank, liked young pretty women, and liked money.
"That older guy with the crew cut looks very familiar. He resembles someone on a blacklist I saw from a friend. If it’s really him, then these guys are definitely professional troublemakers."
Boss Zhao’s eyes flickered slyly.
"Damn, I suspected it long ago. Probably eyeing my expanding business to make a quick buck here. Since I’ve come across this, I must act for the public good. Can you get your friend’s blacklist for me? Also, give me a copy so I can check this crew-cut guy’s identity."
Li Jingsheng’s eyes flashed fiercely.
This time winning multiple gold and bronze awards has made significant contributions to the second hospital.
The clinic being messed with, can this be tolerated?
He had already dealt with two batches of scheming troublemakers.
Why do some people always gamble their lives for money at his expense?
Professional troublemakers, this was the first time encountering them.
Last time the Sunshine 2 Clinic hired someone, it wasn’t professional troublemakers, but professional medical agents.
In this society, there’s always a group of people trying their hardest to get rich. Their way differs from normal individuals, seeking undeserved gains.
Like simultaneously applying to multiple companies to sponge wages.
Or faking accidents.
Then there are these professional troublemakers, specifically causing disruptions in hospitals and taking a cut of the money obtained.
"Brother Li has spoken, I surely will try to find a way. Though my friend’s relationship with me isn’t deep, whether he’ll agree is uncertain."
Boss Zhao didn’t out-and-out refuse.
Just then, his phone rang twice.
He chose a screen angle deliberately out of Li Jingsheng’s view.
Boss Zhao, this streetwise veteran, was truly cautious.
"Found it. I wasn’t mistaken, this crew-cut guy is exactly like someone on my friend’s blacklist. I’ll forward it to you."
After Zhao finished speaking, he added an explanation.
"I just thought he looked familiar, so I discreetly took a picture to send to my friend, asking him to check. Unexpectedly, he indeed is a professional troublemaker. Brother Li’s luck is extraordinary, even such professional troublemakers have chosen you. It shows your Sunshine Clinic has a great future ahead!"
Only having gained some merit did Boss Zhao dare to joke with Li Jingsheng.
"Teasing me, are you? Gloating, are you? Tomorrow, I’ll have some officials visit your clinic for tea."
Li Jingsheng said expressionless.
"Hey, hey, don’t! I apologize, isn’t that enough? We’re all earning a living on the same street. I’ve always treated you as a brother. We’re as close as family. You invite two officials to my clinic for tea, doesn’t it wreck me?"
Boss Zhao made a mournful face, repeatedly acknowledging his mistake.
Speaking of ordinary department officials visiting him for tea, he wouldn’t be terribly afraid.
Being able to survive on the Old Street of South City all these years, and having high annual income in recent years, was enough for Boss Zhao to foster relationships and expand necessary networks.
There was no moat built, that’s unclear.
Bribery, in essence, is a double-edged sword.
Even if truly necessary, Boss Zhao would do it discreetly.
Li Jingsheng received the information forwarded by Boss Zhao.
Opening it revealed everything about the crew-cut guy was clear.
Du Yubo, formerly a lawyer at Da Long Law Firm, but due to poor income switched careers to become a mediator. Handling car accidents, economic disputes, various compensation-related cases extensively. Recently targeted the medical dispute market, became a professional troublemaker.
Friends in hospitals’ medical departments and dispute offices take note, upon seeing this person, report immediately to the police, absolutely no compromise.
So he started as a lawyer, no wonder he dared to become a professional troublemaker!
Once Li Jingsheng figured out the other party’s details, he had a way to handle it.
"Old Zhao, today’s thanks to you. I’ll treat you to dinner another day."
"No need to be polite! We’re brothers."
Boss Zhao waved his hand, returning to the crowd spectating the commotion.
Li Jingsheng, having a grasp on the matter this time, definitely needed to call Dean Fu for assistance!
Facing such opponents, only those of Dean Fu’s level could manage to crush them completely.
Li Jingsheng still needed to grow for years, even decades, to reach such heights.
However, his growth rate was already very rapid.
The phone rang twice and was picked up.
Dean Fu’s calls seemed eternally to connect after ringing two to three times.
"Xiaoli, congratulations on winning so many medals in this skills competition! Truly incredible."
The first thing Dean Fu did upon answering was to praise him.
