Chapter 197 - 77: Kyoto Hospital, Qin Feng

She chose a seat by the window and had Xu Shijie and Wei Chuan sit at the table next to her.

Jiang Li ordered a hot cocoa for herself and herbal tea for Xu Shijie and Wei Chuan as she waited for the hospital owner to arrive.

Perhaps the 800 billion was too alluring. Jiang Li hadn’t even been sitting for ten minutes before someone was standing across from her.

Jiang Li looked up, her gaze meeting the man’s.

The man took the initiative, extending his hand. "Hello, President Jiang. I’m the owner of Kyoto Hospital, Qin Feng."

Jiang Li shook his hand. "President Qin."

Qin Feng sat down, briefcase in hand. "Forgive me for being blunt, but why do you want to acquire the hospital?"

Jiang Li’s reply was nonchalant. "No particular reason. I just realized I didn’t have a hospital in my portfolio, and I happened to be here running an errand anyway."

Qin Feng smiled, though it was impossible to tell if he believed her.

He pulled two freshly printed contracts from his briefcase and handed them to Jiang Li. "This is the transfer agreement. Please look it over. If there are no issues, we can complete the handover on the spot."

Jiang Li accepted them with a nod and began to read carefully, scrutinizing every clause.

After confirming the contract was in order, she signed her full name with a clean stroke.

The contract was in duplicate. Jiang Li took her copy, then transferred 800 billion to Qin Feng using the account number listed in the agreement.

When the funds appeared in his account, Qin Feng beamed. "President Jiang, you’re refreshingly direct!"

Jiang Li nodded and picked up her contract. "If there’s nothing else, President Qin, I’ll be going."

’The only reason I bought this hospital was to get Jing Shiyun into a VIP room. Now that the hospital is mine, what am I waiting for?’

Qin Feng nodded. "Of course. Take care, President Jiang."

After she had gone, he took a photo of the contract and sent it to the hospital director. He also forwarded the picture of Jiang Li that Liu Qian had sent him earlier, adding a note: "Jiang Li is the new owner of the hospital. Whatever you do, don’t offend her."

’After all, a woman who can casually drop 800 billion isn’t someone an ordinary person can afford to cross.’

’A casual stomp of her foot could crush them like ants.’

Jiang Li, unaware of Qin Feng’s actions, left the coffee shop and headed straight for the director’s office with Xu Shijie and Wei Chuan.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—

"Come in."

Jiang Li pushed the door open and walked in. The director, who had been typing, looked up. Upon seeing Jiang Li’s face, he instinctively reached for the phone on his desk.

He checked it again and again, then shot up from his chair, hurried over to Jiang Li, and said with a fawning tone, "President Jiang."

Ignoring the director’s obsequiousness, Jiang Li got straight to the point. "I’m here for one reason. My mother is a patient in this hospital and is scheduled for surgery this afternoon. There were no single rooms available, so she’s in a three-person room right now. Can you see about moving her to a VIP ward?"

The director smiled. "No problem at all. I’ll arrange it immediately."

Before the director could even ask, Jiang Li continued on her own. "My mother’s name is Jing Shiyun. She’s currently in the Orthopedics Department, 6th floor, bed 15."

The director hurried back to his desk, grabbed his phone, and made a call.

As soon as the call connected, the director put it on speakerphone. "Move the patient Jing Shiyun from bed 15 on the 6th floor of Orthopedics to a VIP ward. Have our most senior surgeon perform the operation, and assign our very best nurses to her care. Also, waive all of her fees."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow but didn’t object.

’The hospital is mine anyway,’ she thought. ’It doesn’t matter if I pay or not.’

’After all, any money I paid would just end up back in my own pocket, minus some administrative fees.’

When the director hung up, Jiang Li finally spoke. "As the director of this hospital, I don’t care what you were like before. But from now on, I want you to remember one thing."

The director indicated he was all ears. Jiang Li spoke, slowly and deliberately: "Serve the people."

"Reflect on that. I’m going back to take care of my mother now. If anything comes up at the hospital, contact my assistant directly."

With that, she pulled a napkin from her purse, used her lipstick to write a string of numbers on it, and said, "This is my assistant’s contact number."

The director waved. "Of course, President Jiang. Take care!"

Back in the hospital room, Jiang Bowen rushed over to Jiang Li, saying excitedly, "Sweetheart, the head nurse just came by! She said we can move to a VIP ward soon!"

Jiang Li nodded. "That’s great. I guess we’re pretty lucky."

Just then, Shen Yanzhi moved to Jiang Li’s side and asked in a voice only she could hear, "You bought the hospital, didn’t you?"
