Du Chengji was standing in front of a pot of spider plant. His gaze was gloomy as he stared at the branches, and he sounded like he was reciting a poem as he said, “Such a beautiful plant, don’t you think so?”
The young nurse beside him covered her mouth as she smiled.
Du Chengji immediately became excited. He was familiar with this kind of smile. Whenever a woman smiled like this, she was thinking about how she would continue entertaining a man because he seemed rich.
Du Chengji took a deep breath and suppressed his desire to look at the nurse’s white uniform. He continued to look at the spider plant and expressed his emotions. “The plants are growing really well. The people taking care of the plants must have put plenty of effort into it. Aren’t everyone in hospitals nowadays really busy? Do you guys have time to water the plant and give it fertilizer? Or is it true that beautiful women just have to sprinkle a few drops of water on a plant for it to grow beautifully?”
The young nurse was still covering her mouth and smiling.
From the corner of his eyes, Du Chengji noticed that the young nurse’s smile had changed. She seemed to be thinking about how he was pretty interesting and was good at chatting. She was also thinking about how tremendously rich he was and hoping that he was a sincere person.
Du Chengji was pleased with himself. He extended his left hand to reveal his diamond-studded Vacheron Constantin wristwatch. The diamonds sparkled as he fiddled with the spider plant. He said with a smile, “I’ve been spending the last few years accompanying my dad, and I don’t even have time to go out and have fun anymore. I don’t participate in many social activities, and I’m not good at talking. So, please don’t be angry if I say something wrong. Erm, the leaves of this spider plant are really smooth.”
The young nurse was still covering her mouth and smiling.
Du Chengji hid his fingers underneath his diamond-studded Vacheron Constantin wristwatch and secretly pulled a leaf of the spider plant forcefully.
It did not budge.
Du Chengji finally shifted his attention away from the young nurse to the spider plant before him.
He squeezed and rubbed the leaf…
Du Chengji had done industrial research in Germany’s Humboldt University of Berlin; read books in Florence, Italy and thought about life in Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Paris. He was highly qualified and had read a lot of books. He was also an adept thinker. Now, he was putting those qualities to good use and made a judgment.
‘This plant is made of plastic!’
Du Chengji took another deep breath, and he could not help but become furious. ‘It costs 1,200 RMB a day to stay in a ward in the VIP patient building. Who the heck would have expected that the spider plants in the corridors are fake? Prostitutes who cost 1,200 RMB a night put fresh flowers in their homes every two days, okay?’
Du Chengji turned his head a little to look at the young nurse in the face. He decided to make the ultimate move.
He gazed at the young nurse. His voice was rich in emotion and sincerity as he said, “This watch of mine is Vacheron Constantin, from the Traditionnelle collection.”
The young nurse looked at Du Chengji with a smile on his face.
Du Chengji used a firmer tone as he said, “I purchased this Vacheron Constantin watch when I’ve just worked for a year. I bought it with the money I earned with my own hands. Even though it’s one of the more ordinary models from the Traditionnelle collection, personally, I really like it. I’m saying this to prove a point that I’m not a rich man’s son who only knows how to spend money.”
Du Chengji quietly waited for five seconds, but he did not get any response. He sighed and turned to leave without looking back.
“A**hole,” another young nurse’s voice rang out from behind him. She had been watching Du Chengji’s interaction with the young nurse, and she was obviously a toxic friend.
“One who only knows how to toy with girls,” a third nurse commented.
Du Chengji suppressed the desire to turn and continued walking forward.
If he walked away fast enough, they would not be able to catch up with him and scold him as a group. That was the biggest lesson Du Chengji had learned during his three years of studying overseas.
The young nurses in the corridor let their mouths run even more freely.
One of the young nurse’s toxic friends said, “It’s Vacheron Constantin. Are you really not going to give him a try?”
“He’s too ugly,” the young nurse who had been covering her mouth and smiling earlier answered firmly.
“But he’s wearing a Vacheron Constantin wristwatch. Vacheron Constantin!”
“But it’s not like he’s going to give me a Vacheron Constantin watch, is he? Plus, he has such an ugly face.”
“You know what? You’re right.”
“Makes sense!”
Du Chengji who was walking at the end of the corridor could still hear the young nurses’ muffled voices, but he would rather have not heard it.
*Pit pat pit pat*
Outside the window, rain suddenly started falling. The raindrops fell on the glass windows of the VIP patient building, producing loud and clear sounds akin to the sound made when a drop of water fell onto the butt of a porcelain doll.
Du Chengji was in low spirits as he returned to the ward.
He was able to get used to failure, but the plastic spider plant lingered in his mind.
In the ward, two doctors who were obviously leaders were talking to Du Jiadong. Du Chengji lost interest after glancing at them a few times.
They were not the director of Yun Hua Hospital, and they were not being very humble either.
Du Chengji could not help but think about how if they were at the territory of Tonca Group, no matter which tertiary Grade A hospital his father stayed in, everyone in the hospital would roll out the red carpet for him. Unfortunately, the hospitals in the territory of Tonca Group were not good at the postoperative care of gastric cancer, let alone gastrectomy in combination with hepatic resection. It was to the point that his father suffered from liver metastasis only one year after he received surgery…
Du Chengji could not help but start to understand why rich people were always donating to medical organizations. If he ended up inheriting his family wealth of several billion RMB, he would donate some of the money to medical organizations…
*Knock knock*
Someone was knocking on the door. A hospital leader who was sitting by the bedside cleared his throat and said, “This should be Doctor Ling.”
“Young Ji, go and open the door,” Du Jiadong ordered him softly.
Du Chengji immediately panicked when his father called him by his pet name. He quickly rose and opened the door. He was grumbling internally. ‘He could have asked two beautiful young girls to do this…’
The moment Du Chengji opened the door, his mind went blank. ‘What have I just seen?’
“Doctor Ling, come on in.” Associate Hospital Director Zhou was used to such situations. She waved to Ling Ran. She then turned toward Du Jiadong and said, “Doctor Ling encountered a patient whose organs in the abdominal cavity were adhered together, and the patient’s condition was very serious. His spleen was ruptured. Hence, Ling Ran was the only one who could operate on him.”
Hospital Director Zhou was exaggerating things a little, but given the situation right now, Du Jiadong could not help but nod a few times in approval.
“Doctor Ling is the best in our hospital when it comes to combined liver and pancreatic radical surgery.” Department Director Lei from the Medical Affairs Department was also there. There was a gentle smile on his face, and he looked completely different from the times he would viciously scold medical interns.
Of course, even though he was not exactly telling the truth, it was not a false statement either. Scarcely any doctor in Yun Hua Hospital knew how to perform combined liver and pancreatic radical surgery, so being the best meant nothing.
But it meant something to Du Jiadong, so that would do.
“Ling Ran, meet Chairman Du.” There was a kindly smile on Associate Hospital Director Zhou’s face as she introduced Du Jiadong to Ling Ran.
“Please, just call me Old Du,” Du Jiadong said politely.
Ling Ran merely nodded. He scrutinized Du Jiadong carefully and said, “I’ll perform a physical examination for you.”
As he spoke, Ling Ran gestured at Du Jiadong to lie on his back.
Du Jiadong was the chairman of a company worth tens of billions of RMB. Complying with Ling Ran’s request, he pulled his blanket aside and lay on his back. He then lifted his shirt up and revealed his belly. There were goosebumps on his skin because of the cold, and he was shivering a little, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Ling Ran carried out a detailed physical examination step by step. Whenever he encountered something he was unsure of, he activated the Virtual Human and quickly dissected it to take a look.
To Du Jiadong and the other people, Ling Ran looked like he was lost in his own world as he waved his hands around in a strange manner.
Due to how handsome he looked, however, no one had the heart to stop him.
Du Jiadong was lying on his back in the hospital bed, and he noticed that Ling Ran appeared and acted totally differently compared with other doctors, and that slowly put his mind at ease. ‘For someone who’s as sick as me, perhaps a peculiar doctor is needed.’
