Zhu Bing was so muscular that he seemed like a bear. He was someone who had withstood the most scorching days as well as frigid winds, along with being in several gunfights before. However, he truly felt awkward right now, and didn’t know what to do. He stood there without knowing if he should retract his arm showing his police ID or not. He understood that the restaurant would still want to do business. Was he supposed to ruin the restaurant due to Chinese social taboos in order to save a life? Was he in the wrong? But, he also kept hearing the pregnant woman screaming at the top of her lungs inside the restaurant’s private room. Zhu Bing felt for the first time in his life that he had absolutely no idea what to do.
Although Tang Jingjing had been promoted rather quickly from secretary, just the personal secretary position alone would bring along many trials. No dumb person would be able to work for long as a secretary, as the secretary would need to understand their boss’s temper, personality, likes, way of doing things, and so on. Tang Jingjing commanded the restaurant servers to bring hot water and clean basins. The young female servers all had depressed expressions. The female restaurant manager who was still in a call with the restaurant owner had an expression as if she wanted to cry as she waved her hand in a gesture that the servers should do as Tang Jingjing commanded.
The restaurant manager was still softhearted in the end. Her wave of the hand gave Tang Jingjing a sudden flash of inspiration. Tang Jingjing wasn’t an emotional woman. No emotional woman would possibly succeed at being a good politician.
“Little Lu, immediately call your father and tell him the current situation. Tell him that apart from you, two other excellent youths of Chasu City are also present,” Tang Jingjing told Lu Renjia.
Some people were born to be politicians. Tang Jingjing instantly discovered an excellent opportunity here! The coarse policeman Zhu Bing was still busy trying to mentally calculate the restaurant’s losses, while Lu Renjia was still too stunned to do anything. As for Zhang Fan, he was busy trying to think of how he could encourage the pregnant woman!
Lu Renjia started calling her dad. This was the first time that Lu Renjia had ever seen such a scene, with a pregnant woman screaming in pain, many bystanders gossiping with each other, and Tang Jingjing commanding everyone. Lu Renjia was so scared that she didn’t know what to do. Her voice carried a hint of tears as she talked to her dad on the phone. “Dad! I’m at Little Plump Sheep restaurant right now. There’s a pregnant woman who’s about to give birth. She’s bleeding! Sister Tang told me to call you!”
When Tang Jingjing heard Lu Renjia’s incoherent talk, she immediately grabbed her cell phone, saying, “Mr. Lu, three award recipients who just finished participating in Chasu City’s 10 excellent youths award are currently trying their best to save the life of a pregnant woman who had unexpected complications at the Little Plump Sheep restaurant. The restaurant owner is really kind and generous.”
Tang Jingjing and Lu Renjia’s father were both veteran politicians. Lu Renjia’s father immediately knew what Tang Jingjing meant from this, and immediately reported this situation to the secretary of Chasu City CPC (Communist Party Committee, from now on abbreviated as CPC due to how often this phrase appears). The secretary took charge of giving overall commands while Lu Renjia’s father contacted the Chasu City CPC’s publicity department. Lu Renjia’s father told Chasu City’s TV stations to immediately send reporters over to the scene for interviews. He then phoned Chasu City Hospital as well as the traffic police in charge of helping manage traffic in the icy conditions today. Lu Renjia’s father told them to make sure the roads were kept clear so that the ambulance could arrive as quickly as possible!
Since the 10 excellent youths of Chasu City award had just been given out today, if three of the excellent youths did such a good deed immediately afterward, a politician like Lu Renjia’s father definitely wouldn’t let go of such a great opportunity for good publicity.
After these phone calls, it was as if all of Chasu City began to move. Traffic cops took over all the roads leading from Chasu City Hospital to the Little Plump Sheep restaurant. Police motorcycles with flashing sirens drove by as they used loudspeakers to clear these streets. “Park to the side! Park to the side!”
Originally, Chasu City Hospital had only sent one emergency doctor and a nurse in the first ambulance when Tang Jingjing first called the hospital, but after Lu Renjia’s father called, Chasu City Hospital immediately sent a second ambulance with an obstetrician, a nurse midwife, and another nurse! The ambulance rushed towards the restaurant with sirens blaring.
This child who was soon about to be born was quite fortunate. Even a city leader typically wouldn’t receive such treatment. This was an abundant display of power!
This pregnant woman could be described as both lucky and unlucky. She wasn’t expected to give birth for another 10 or so days. However, she started going into premature labor due to tripping on the slippery iced-over road, yet she luckily met Zhang Fan. Otherwise, she probably would have been in major trouble today.
The pregnant woman was now lying on the big round table in the restaurant’s private room. Several women helped to take off her pants. Zhang Fan swiftly soaked the restaurant’s degreasing cotton in soap water to clean the labia majora, labia minora, and mons pubis. After cleaning the pregnant woman’s vagina, since the restaurant had no medical grade disinfectant on hand, Zhang Fan could only use the restaurant’s regular-use iodine disinfectant for disinfection. It would at least be better than having no disinfectant at all. He then prepared to help deliver the baby.
The weather had just recently become cold. Few cars out on the streets had changed to their winter anti-skip tires, so there were many accidents out on the roads. Even the ambulances weren’t able to get here quickly. However, the television stations were much closer to the Little Plump Sheep restaurant, so reporters arrived before the ambulances did.
The owner of Little Plump Sheep also arrived. She was a pudgy woman with a sharp glint of intelligence in her eyes. When she arrived and saw the huge crowd as well as reporters, she knew that no matter what she said, this child was destined to be born in her restaurant.
In that case, how could she turn something viewed as bad luck in Chinese society into good luck? [TL note: a person bleeding anywhere is considered massively bad luck in Chinese culture.] She would have to rely on everyone’s comments to transform this into a good thing. She first called the newspapers about this. Then, she ordered all of the restaurant employees to fully cooperate. The restaurant owner stood on a chair and spoke in a loud and clear voice. Since she was wearing bright red, appeared to be someone obviously well-to-do, and spoke so confidently, all attention became focused on her.
“Go raise the temperature in the restaurant! We can’t have the baby getting cold. Little Li, go prepare more brand-new towels, the type that we’ve reserved for our customers, the most expensive type. Little Wang, go prepare white wine with high alcohol content. The doctor might need it! All customers who are present at my restaurant today shall have their bills cleared! Everyone shall eat for free today in celebration of the youngest ever customer of my restaurant! I wager that this young customer is the youngest customer at any hot pot restaurant in all of China! Congratulations! We were lucky enough to get affected by his good luck as well!”
Why had this restaurant owner been successful? This was the reason. Her loud voice covered up all the commotion. The restaurant employees began to move in an orderly fashion at her command. Her voice was capable of making others feel passionate about what they were doing.
“Nice! A hero among women!” shouted someone unknown suddenly. The restaurant’s customers had originally been quite displeased at having their meals interrupted, yet they suddenly became passionate about what was going on. This was due to the restaurant owner’s skillful eloquence! If this had been an era of war instead, she would definitely have become a great female military leader!
*Click, click, click!* The reporters started taking pictures of and recording her, showing her figure and voice for even more to see.
The rest all happened naturally. The reporters began interviewing people and filming. Tang Jingjing, the stunned Zhu Bing and Lu Renjia, and the restaurant owner were the reporters’ main focus for the interviews.
Meanwhile, inside the restaurant’s private room that was substituting as an operating room, Zhang Fan was hesitating as he held on to a vegetable knife. This was the most hesitant that he had ever been about performing any surgery. The pregnant woman’s perineum was too tight and would definitely tear, yet Zhang Fan only had a vegetable knife. Even though this was a brand-new vegetable knife, it was a vegetable knife, not a surgical knife! Should he even dare to cut into the patient with a vegetable knife that hadn’t been disinfected with medical-grade disinfectant? If he didn’t cut into the patient, either her perineum would tear or her child would be injured. Not only that, there was no anesthesia on hand. Zhang Fan really felt helpless.
“Doctor, I can’t! I can’t hold on any longer!” The pregnant woman was in great pain and nervousness due to her unborn child’s active movement. She felt like she was about to die.
“What are you saying!? You haven’t even given birth yet. Is this how you act as a mother!? Shut up!” This was a critical moment, so Zhang Fan adopted a hard attitude.
The pregnant woman had gone out shopping together with her mother. They had wanted to buy a few things for the upcoming baby, as well as give her some exercise. Yet, this was the end result.
The pregnant woman’s mother was crying countless tears as she called her son-in-law and her husband. “Hurry and come over here! Little Li tripped and fell, causing her to go into premature labor. Hurry and come!”
” Mom 1 ! Which hospital are you at? I’ll be there immediately.”
“Little Plump Sheep! Little Plump Sheep hot pot restaurant, hurry and come!”
She then hung up and called her husband. “Dear husband, Little Li tripped and went into premature labor. She’s bleeding.”
“Where are you? Just how were you watching over her!”
“I didn’t want this, either! We’re at Little Plump Sheep! Little Plump Sheep hot pot restaurant!”
Luckily, there was only one Little Plump Sheep restaurant in Chasu City. It was also relatively well-known.
Meanwhile, Zhang Fan was sweating bullets as he faced the patient’s perineum which was really swollen!
‘This is so f*cking ridiculous!’ Zhang felt like he was about to explode!
Zhu Bing was so muscular that he seemed like a bear. He was someone who had withstood the most scorching days as well as frigid winds, along with being in several gunfights before.
