If cousin Li Xuehua is willing to return all the embezzled money to the company, could the company abandon pursuing Li Xuehua's responsibility and at most, dismiss him from his position and send him back to Treasure Island? At least, in this way, his aunt would have an explanation.

Yi Anguo maintained his usual courtesy towards Liang Song, inviting him to sit down for tea, listening to the course of events, as well as Liang's helplessness and requests.

"Mr. Liang, this matter is no longer something I can decide. He is now awaiting the review by the inspection organs, and the court's final verdict stage. As for his handling, there will be a fair judgment by the law, and I am helpless." Yi Anguo said helplessly.

"I know all this, but if you are willing to approach the inspection authority and say something, as long as he is willing to return the embezzled money, the company can stop pursuing the matter, and the law enforcement might handle it leniently." Liang Song said with difficulty.

"If I plead on behalf of Li Xuehua, what about others?" Yi Anguo retorted.

"If even the most severe embezzler, Li Xuehua, is let go, should I also let others go?"

"If I let everyone go, who will be afraid in the future? If I only let Li Xuehua go but not others, how unfair would that be to others?"

Upon hearing this from Yi Anguo, although Liang Song knew that Yi Anguo was right, he still felt a bit uneasy, feeling that Yi Anguo was giving him no respect.

But since Yi Anguo had already said this, Liang Song didn't know what else to say.

Continue to plead?

But clearly, Yi Anguo did not want to give him face! Getting him to relent was not an easy task.

If he lost all of his dignity and still couldn't get him to relent, it would only make him more embarrassed.

"Mr. Liang, actually, you don't have to worry. Their judgment shouldn't be too severe." Yi Anguo thought for a moment and added.

Under Liang Song's leadership, Huaxin Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd. achieved good development and made significant breakthroughs in major technology research and development.

Yi Anguo didn't want handling this matter to cause dissatisfaction from Liang Song. Sometimes, it's very necessary to show some goodwill appropriately.

If Liang Song became dissatisfied due to how his cousin Li Xuehua was handled and even resigned from Huaxin International, it wouldn't be good for Huaxin International and would be a significant loss.

Therefore, out of respect for Liang Song, he had to make an exception for Li Xuehua.

Moreover, what Yi Anguo said was true, this case of economic crime is not a military leak case, and would not be judged strictly and severely.

Since the result was expected to be like this, why not take this opportunity to give face to Liang Song?

"Then what do you think the most severe judgment would be?" Liang Song hesitated for a moment, still a bit uneasy, he asked.

"If he cooperates actively and returns all the embezzled funds, he should be sentenced to some fines and a few years of imprisonment, with a suspended sentence." Yi Anguo thought for a moment and said.

"With a suspended sentence, it essentially means not having to go to jail, and as long as he behaves well, he can get a reduced sentence and, in the future, not have to go to jail at all."

"However, since your cousin is from Treasure Island, once they return to Treasure Island, it would be alright, as long as they don't come back to the mainland for several years."

"Is that so? If that's the result, it can be accepted." Liang Song said.

"You can ask the company's lawyer and legal department about this issue. If it is indeed necessary, I can discreetly intervene, but I have no way to plead openly." Yi Anguo thought for a moment and said.

"This time, I plan to show no face to anyone. The actions of your cousin have had too serious an impact."

"It's only out of respect for you, Mr. Liang, that I will make an exception."

"Thank you, Mr. Yi! This time, it's really troublesome for you. I also know I shouldn't have come to you and asked for your help, but I was really forced and had no other choice but to thicken my skin and ask for your help." Liang Song said gratefully.

The land for Anguo Hospital had already been approved, but expecting its development and completion to be ready for operation within a year was unrealistic.

However, without a large comprehensive hospital, it's not feasible for the entire Anguo Group with so many people.

Moreover, with over ten thousand tech research and development personnel returning from the U.S., Yi Anguo had promised them excellent medical conditions before they came back to the country, and this promise couldn't be just empty words, nor could it wait a year to be fulfilled.

The quickest and most straightforward way is directly acquiring an existing hospital.

But large hospitals in the country are mainly public; private hospitals are rare and mostly small.

So acquiring a suitable hospital is quite challenging.

The remaining option is to acquire one or several buildings, renovate them into a modern hospital, and then recruit medical staff, and the new Anguo Hospital can start operations.

Although Anguo Hospital primarily serves Anguo Group employees, it can also cater to the public.

Everyone knows hospitals can be profitable; on the basis of serving Anguo Group employees, earning some money on the side is reasonable.

Some large state-owned enterprises also have their own hospitals, serving not only their employees but also the public.

Ultimately, Yi Anguo decided to convert a property in Anjing Century Center into the first Anguo Hospital.

While the hospital undergoes renovations, they are globally recruiting staff for all positions, each department requiring at least one top-notch global doctor.

If it were just regular doctors, there wouldn't be a need to establish Anguo Hospital; there are existing hospitals in the country, but top-tier medical and surgical expertise is scarce. Many good doctors are in renowned national hospitals, where ordinary people find it very difficult to make an appointment.

When common people in the mainland become ill, they usually get treated in the county; if it's more serious, they go to the city hospital, further seriousness leads them to the province's major hospital.

If the provincial hospital cannot resolve the issue, they have to go to major Beijing hospitals or reputed major city hospitals in economically advanced provinces.

However, for some illnesses, only hospitals in developed foreign countries have the technical capability for treatment. Even going to a Beijing hospital is already very difficult for a common person, going abroad for treatment is even harder.

First of all, language is a significant barrier. Very few can speak English and communicate directly with foreigners.

Since we're establishing Anguo Hospital, it must be the best hospital.

Not just the most advanced medical equipment, but the doctors should be the best as well.

Even if the doctors are foreigners, high salaries should entice them.

After all, there are very few people who are not swayed by money; it's no different for doctors.

If you can't attract them, maybe the salary offer isn't high enough.

As long as there's a salary increase, there are very few doctors who can't be recruited.

Yi Anguo is determined to spare no expense or effort in establishing Anguo Hospital, not only to fulfill his promise to the returning science and technology talents but also for himself and his family's health considerations.

After all, his and his family's health is also very important; they may fall ill and need treatment.

If there's a hospital with the most advanced equipment, the best medical conditions, and technology, he wouldn't have to worry about not receiving the best care when he or his family falls ill.

Hu Qian, who is pursuing a combined MD-PhD program in the USA, recommended several talented doctors from various medical fields to Yi Anguo, many of whom are prominent Chinese-American physicians in the U.S. medical community and are interested in returning to develop domestically.

After all, the speed of economic development in China is watched by the world, the potential in the medical market is enormous, plus attractive terms offered by Anguo Hospital, it's hard for them not to be tempted.
