Zhou Wenbin was truly having a headache. Things were already complicated enough, and now another incident had erupted. The bracelet fell off during the tussle between the two women, initiated by Tong Meili rushing up to entangle the other first, though Cai Rongjuan wasn't entirely without fault either.
Cai Rongjuan hesitated for a moment, then walked away without looking back, leaving the mess to the medical affairs office.
Tong Meili wasn't pleased at all, sitting on the ground, throwing a fit, and yelling that she was beaten by people from Changxing Hospital. She lay there and called her husband, Shi Zhiwei. Upon hearing this, her husband was furious and immediately rushed to Changxing Hospital with more than ten workers.
Yu Xiangdong from the security department thought the matter was resolved, but upon hearing that it escalated again, and this time even more, he quickly led security guards to the medical affairs office to timely intercept Shi Zhiwei and his group.
"If there's an issue, let's talk about it. Bringing so many people here amounts to instigating trouble," Yu Xiangdong explained the seriousness of the situation to Shi Zhiwei, who then did not let his workers come up.
Tong Meili lay in the mediation room crying nonstop, with Cheng Xiaohong trying to console her beside her.
Zhou Wenbin and Xu Chunliang had also returned to the medical affairs office. This woman was troublesome, and they didn't dare to get too close in case she falsely accused them of molesting or harassing her.
Zhou Wenbin had high hopes for Xu Chunliang: "Xiaoxu, you're full of ideas, think of something."
Xu Chunliang said, "Isn't the cosmetic center a contracted enterprise? Anyway, if something goes wrong, it's the contractor who pays, and it has little to do with Changxing."
"It's not that simple, it's not purely a contract, it's a cooperative relationship. Even if it's contracted, outsiders don't care about that and will hold Changxing Hospital accountable, ultimately damaging our reputation."
Xu Chunliang nodded, "I think this is more like the eunuchs worrying when the emperor doesn't. Cai Rongjuan herself doesn't care, so why should we busy ourselves? In the end, they won't appreciate it, and we'll get blamed."
Zhou Wenbin sighed, "Tan Guoliang and his wife are two of a kind, but honestly, there's nothing wrong with Tong Meili's surgery. She's deliberately causing trouble."
"Then it's even easier to deal with. Anyway, we're in the right. Let her make a fuss. I don't believe the court would side with her."
Zhou Wenbin said, "What we worry about is not the court, it's public opinion. Nowadays, the public is already biased against our industry. As long as something happens, they immediately blame us, ignoring the truth. You've been at the medical affairs office for a while, you ought to have some understanding."
At this moment, Shi Zhiwei barged in, loudly demanding, "Who's in charge here?"
Zhou Wenbin stood up, "I am!"
Shi Zhiwei, with clenched fists, walked menacingly towards him. Seeing his aggressive demeanor, Zhou Wenbin couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated, "You... what do you want to do?"
Although Shi Zhiwei wasn't very educated, he wasn't foolish enough to make the mistake of physically assaulting someone at their workplace, "Can you bear the responsibility? How will you account for disfiguring my wife? What about beating my wife? Do you know how much that bracelet costs?"
Zhou Wenbin said, "My friend, don't get agitated. You don't know the full situation. We have surveillance footage."
Shi Zhiwei retorted, "Surveillance footage can be fabricated too. I've seen everything. You only save what's beneficial to you and delete what's not. Who are you trying to fool?"
"What you're saying is unfair. Changxing Hospital would never do such a thing."
"You think Changxing Hospital lacks dirty deeds? Your hospital has the worst reputation among all major hospitals in Dongzhou City."
Xu Chunliang said, "If Changxing Hospital's reputation is so bad, why did you let your wife come here for surgery? Aren't you pushing her into a pit of fire?"
Only then did Shi Zhiwei notice Xu Chunliang's presence and glared at him, "How dare you talk to me like that?"
"I've always spoken this way. Watch your mouth here, or I'll slap you!"
Most people like Shi Zhiwei, who contracted construction sites, were street-smart and had gotten used to bullying others rather than being bullied. Pointing at Xu Chunliang, he said, "Do you know who I am? If you provoke me, I'll have you kicked out of the hospital in no time."
Xu Chunliang stood up. Zhou Wenbin knew that this young man wasn't to be trifled with. Although he also disliked people like Shi Zhiwei, it was never good to have a fight at the medical affairs office. The hospital wouldn't care about the reasons and would definitely first punish their own people.
Zhou Wenbin restrained Xu Chunliang, advising him not to act impulsively.
Shi Zhiwei, filled with aggression, said, "Get out of my way. You little brat, trying to act tough with me. I'm going to teach you a lesson today."
Xu Chunliang coldly stared at Shi Zhiwei, noting that this rascal was asking for trouble. Zhou Wenbin, who was holding him back, inexplicably felt a chill; it was odd how effective the air conditioning was today.
Yu Xiangdong, the head of security, arrived at the medical affairs office with several security guards to help separate Shi Zhiwei and Xu Chunliang.
Shi Zhiwei, unrelenting, said, "Kid, you'd better hope I don't see you outside. If I don't make you beg for mercy, I'll take your surname."
"It's a deal. If you don't do it, then you're a coward."
Shi Zhiwei rushed forward to kick Xu Chunliang but was tightly held back by Yu Xiangdong, "Calm down, calm down, don't argue with the younger ones."
With a group of people pulling and persuading, they managed to escort Shi Zhiwei out.
Xu Chunliang laughed as if nothing had happened, and Zhou Wenbin said, "You have the nerve to laugh. Our medical affairs office is here to help coordinate and resolve conflicts, not escalate them."
"I detest those who, just because they have some money, act like they're the greatest in the world."
Zhou Wenbin said, "It's best not to provoke small-minded people like him. You're still young, and you'll understand with time. Acting on impulse is unnecessary. If we disputed every matter for right or wrong, we wouldn't be able to do our jobs."
He calmed Xu Chunliang down and went out to negotiate with Shi Zhiwei and his wife.
Since the conflict wasn't resolved, Yu Xiangdong from the security department didn't leave right away. Instead, he sat down by Zhou Wenbin's desk and kindly reminded Xu Chunliang, "This Shi Zhiwei works with sand, gravel, and earthmoving. He's got money and a wide network."
Xu Chunliang said, "No matter how impressive he is, he can still get sick. If you play with fire, you'll get burned. He'll run into trouble soon enough."
Yu Xiangdong let out a burst of laughter. Initially, he had some opinions about Xu Chunliang, but today he found the young man rather amusing. Was that a curse just now? If curses worked, what would they need a security department for?
The commotion at the medical affairs office had already spread throughout the entire administrative office building. However, an unwritten rule had formed among the hospital's administrative departments: mind your own business and don't meddle in others' affairs, regardless of how big the commotion is outside. They wouldn't willingly join the fray.
Moreover, incidents occurred at the medical affairs office almost daily, so it was nothing new to them anymore.
