The matter of accusing Hu Yuanqing spread in the industry for three or four days. Just when many people were harboring various mindsets, ready to watch this annual drama unfold, that husband suddenly issued a statement.
In the statement, he claimed that he was simply overwhelmed with grief and could not accept his wife's passing, resulting in a moment of irrationality.
Throughout the entire process, from his wife's surgery to her unexpected passing on the operating table, Dr. Hu Yuanqing made no errors!
At the end of the statement, the husband also particularly thanked Dr. Hu Yuanqing for his efforts to save his wife's life and expressed his deepest apologies for the reputational damage his actions caused to Dr. Hu.
Lin Jie was not surprised at all by this outcome.
As the renowned neurosurgeon of Binhai City, even if the husband had conclusive evidence, the Hu Family would certainly strive to protect both Hu Yuanqing and the pillar of Kangning Hospital.
For that husband, once a person is gone, they're gone. Even if Hu Yuanqing's medical license were revoked and his career ended, it wouldn't bring back the remaining few months of his wife's life. It would be better to use this situation to make a substantial gain.
This is reality!
Lin Jie also suspected that the husband wasn't pleased seeing how attentive and concerned Hu Yuanqing was toward his wife, and upon recalling their past, he decided to record evidence.
Evening, the western restaurant at Henglong Plaza!
An Kexin took a sip of red wine and softly said, "Lin Jie, can you guess how much the Hu Family paid to settle this matter?"
"Five million?" Lin Jie suggested a number he felt was quite high.
An Kexin flipped her hand and said, "Double that, from what I heard, this should be accurate!"
"I heard that the old master of the Hu Family was furious, scolded Hu Yuanqing fiercely, accused him of being too emotional and unprofessional, and reportedly, the dean position he was set for might be lost as well."
Lin Jie followed up, "Has Hu Xinyi been decided as the dean candidate again?"
An Kexin shook her head and said, "Not yet. Even this Hu Xinyi has deeply disappointed the Hu Family patriarch. It seems the old master of the Hu Family is indeed troubled!"
Lin Jie took a small sip of wine and said, "Let's not discuss this anymore, the affairs of the Hu Family are somewhat distant from us! How did your talks with the Luo Family go today?"
An Kexin drank a sip of wine in frustration and sighed, "Well, the person from the Luo Family who came to negotiate treated us as local bullies trying to make a quick buck."
"Arrogantly and generously, they stated we could invest money and ensure our returns, but we would have no say in the specific management side, which is not what our An Family wants."
Lin Jie furrowed his brow and said, "Oh, this should be a communication issue between both parties. I'll talk to Luo Shanshan again!"
An Kexin cut a small piece of tender lamb chop, put it in her mouth, chewed, and then waved her hand, saying, "No need, Lin Jie. I discussed it with my father and decided we should go on our own, rather than cooperating with these tycoons who look down on us!"
"Can you compete with them? In this competitive environment, the Phoenix Mountain Hospital will surely have quite a premium!" Lin Jie was puzzled and a bit worried.
An Kexin chuckled and said, "Given the current scenario, it's already not worthwhile for our An Family to buy the Phoenix Mountain Hospital. We've decided to buy a piece of land in the Phoenix Mountain area and build our own hospital."
"Build your own hospital?"
Lin Jie said with concern, "That's a large investment! Hospitals not only require large initial investments, but the first few years of operation are also difficult to turn a profit, your An Family…"
Lin Jie knew the An Family was wealthy, but it's all relative.
From what he knew, the main asset of the An Family was in the production of medical equipment. For such a manufacturing company, the bulk of its assets are fixed assets, with relatively thin profits, making available funds quite limited.
"Not to hide it from you, we only raised sixty million ourselves for the acquisition of Phoenix Mountain Hospital, with plans to secure additional funds through bank loans and further mortgages," An Kexin said with a wry smile.
"I just didn't expect so many predators to emerge out of nowhere!"
"We thought we were clever, spotting this opportunity. In reality, no one is a fool, and we couldn't snatch this bargain!"
"Given that, we can only activate our backup plan and build our own hospital."
Lin Jie pondered, "Sixty million, with buying land too, are you planning to build a small hospital like Zhuja Port Clinic?"
An Kexin glanced at Lin Jie sideways, snorted, and said, "The investment will certainly be more than sixty million! Our An Family has been in business and manufacturing for twenty or thirty years now. Although we can't be compared to the likes of Han Group or Shengfeng Group, we do have some foundation."
"Don't forget, just the land where the Group Building stands, mortgaging it could easily get three to five hundred million."
Lin Jie nodded, "That's true, investing two or three hundred million might not build a comprehensive large hospital like a University Affiliated Hospital or Tongren Hospital, but a specialized hospital like Kangning Hospital shouldn't be much of a problem."
"Lin Jie, I'm talking to you seriously!"
Putting down her knife and fork, An Kexin solemnly said, "I specially invited you to this meal to formally extend an invitation for you to invest and join our newly planned hospital!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie shook his head like a rattle-drum and immediately said, "I have no money!"
He realized he was a bit too hasty and misspoke right after saying it.
Seeing the playful expression on An Kexin's face, Lin Jie said awkwardly, "I kept my few million for Miaomiao as a precaution. Besides, that few million is nothing compared to the billions your An Family manages; it's just a drop in the bucket!"
He suddenly realized and asked, "You're not suggesting I mortgage the apartment, are you?"
An Kexin looked at Lin Jie with charming contempt, giggled, and said, "No need to mortgage your apartment, nor do I want your few million, I only want you!"
"What do you mean?" Lin Jie was a bit confused!
An Kexin collected her expression and instinctively adjusted her posture, saying, "My father and I decided to put great efforts into building a hospital mainly because of you!"
"Your medical skills have utterly impressed us, and my father and I both firmly believe that you can build a tremendously renowned hospital both domestically and internationally."
"Our current worry is whether you'll leave in the future."
"So, we want to make a contract with you, your medical skills will be your investment, and no matter how much we invest, you will have a ten percent stake!"
"And we assure you, this shareholding will never be diluted, you won't bear any debts, but will enjoy dividends and relevant shareholder rights!"
Lin Jie was utterly stunned!
If the investment for the hospital construction is three billion, then ten percent would be thirty million, and An Family's grand gesture floored him directly!
At this moment, Lin Jie felt his heartbeat double, and he said somewhat incoherently, "I'm not even a licensed doctor! Plus, I might die early, as you might know."
An Kexin parted her red lips and said, "You'll definitely get into Binhai University's Medical College next year. With your uncle's help and your medical skills, graduating two or three years early is no problem."
"As for your life span issue…"
She said word by word, "My father and I both believe that your medical skill is a miracle. Such a person as you, Heaven wouldn't let you leave this world easily."
