Chapter 292 - 109: Zhao Xia Gives a Red Envelope, a Little Move Up

If he had initially suspected Jiang Li was trying to trick him, then after seeing the man’s test results, he was now completely convinced.

After all, he was the one who found the hospital, and he was the one who found the patient.

No matter how resourceful Jiang Li was, it was impossible for her to pull a switcheroo right under his nose.

And yet now she was saying it wasn’t expensive. He didn’t know if she was just saying that to comfort the man, or if it really wasn’t expensive.

The doctor, who had been a mere background character, looked as if he had heard something outrageous. "From what I just heard you say, the reason your condition improved is because of her?"

The man nodded. He was just about to say that Jiang Li had developed an anti-cancer drug when Jiang Li cut him off. "It just so happened that we needed someone for a clinical trial, so we injected him with the medication without your consent. I hope you can overlook it."

The doctor was furious upon hearing this. "This is absolute nonsense! If something had gone wrong, who would have been responsible!"

Jiang Li didn’t back down an inch. "I would have been."

When he had agreed, he hadn’t thought much of it, but now, hearing the doctor’s scolding, the man belatedly realized he had caused trouble for the hospital.

After all, he was a patient here. If something had happened, his wife would have definitely gone after the hospital, not Jiang Li.

Fortunately, the medication Jiang Li gave him had actually worked, and his condition had improved.

He quickly spoke up, "Doctor, please don’t be angry. I was the one who agreed to it. They didn’t force me."

He then spun around in a circle. "And look, I’m fine, right? Not just fine, I feel a lot better."

But the doctor just gave him a cold look. "We advise you to handle your discharge today."

The man pursed his lips. ’This doctor is being way too unreasonable.’

Jiang Li, however, reached out and patted the man’s shoulder. "It’s alright, go get discharged. If you want to continue treatment later, go to Kyoto Hospital."

’Since this hospital doesn’t want to keep him, he can just go to Kyoto Hospital,’ she thought. ’I can understand their position, though.’

’After all, if something went wrong, their reputation would be affected.’

The doctor’s face was ashen as his hands flew across the keyboard. Finally, he printed out a form for the man. "You can take this form to process your discharge."

The man reached out and took it. "Okay."

The group left the room, and Jiang Li immediately called the director of Kyoto Hospital. "I have a liver cancer patient here. The situation is a bit complicated. If he decides to come over, just admit him directly."

After saying that, she looked at the man and covered the mouthpiece with her hand. "What’s your name?"

The man was taken aback for a second, then replied, "Wei Tao."

Jiang Li nodded and spoke into the phone again. "His name is Wei Tao, twenty-eight years old."

"Understood, President Jiang."

Seeing Jiang Li hang up the phone, Xu Lian couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Jiang, don’t tell me you’re the new owner of Kyoto Hospital?"

As the mayor, he knew most of what went on in Capital City.

Jiang Li didn’t deny it. "Yes, that’s me."

Xu Lian couldn’t help but take a deep breath. "A true hero emerges from the young, indeed."

He’d heard from Zhao Xia before that Jiang Li was a great mahjong partner, and he had assumed she was just an idle youth. But now, it seemed he had been too narrow-minded.

’Not everyone who plays mahjong is an idler.’

’There are also the children of the wealthy, who play mahjong purely to pass the time.’

Jiang Li looked at Wei Tao. "It’s up to you if you want to go over there. If you do, you can just go directly."

Wei Tao scratched the back of his head. "I’ll go back and discuss it with my wife."

He had already transferred all the money to his wife, so if he wanted to get treatment, he would still need her approval.

But what puzzled him was that he had transferred one million to her, and it had been so long, yet there hadn’t been a single call or message.

"Sure, no problem."

She nodded at Wei Tao. "If there’s nothing else, we’ll be going now."

Watching Jiang Li turn to leave, Wei Tao hesitated for a long moment. "Um..."

Jiang Li turned back and looked at Wei Tao quizzically.

Wei Tao licked his lips awkwardly. "Could I get your contact information?"

Afraid that Jiang Li would think he was just after personal gain, Wei Tao explained, "I don’t mean anything by it, I just want to thank you. I don’t have the ability to repay you right now, so I might have to ask you to wait a little longer."

Hearing this, Jiang Li just said, "Okay." She took her phone out of her pocket and pulled up her QR code. Wei Tao scanned it to add her, and just like that, they were connected on WeChat.

Jiang Li saved his contact name and sent him her phone number. "If you need anything, you can also call me. If I can help, I’ll do my best."

Wei Tao said sincerely, "Thank you!"

Jiang Li waved her hand dismissively. "It’s nothing. Just think of it as me accumulating good karma for my son."
