Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 458 Money alone isn't enough!
Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

Jiang Beicheng came to Beijing on a business trip this time, and his daughter came along with him.

Since her father was transferred from Chengdu to Beijing, she has not yet visited him in Beijing.

I came here to spend time with my father during the weekend.

During treatment in Chengdu, the professor recommended a liver transplant.

A liver transplant requires finding a suitable donor liver, and it is expensive.

For Wu Keqing, money was a minor issue; what was most difficult to accept was the rejection that occurred after the liver transplant. Once that happened, the outcome was essentially sealed.

She still hoped that her father could prolong his life through treatment.

Bei Cheng's brother used his connections to bring their father to Beijing. The academicians in Beijing were not as pessimistic as the professors in Chengdu about their father's current condition.

The final treatment plan will be determined after further examination and observation.

The Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking University Cancer Hospital are the most authoritative institutions in this field and are known as "Eastern Cancer Hospital" and "Western Cancer Hospital" respectively.

The academician who treated my father this time is the vice president of the Cancer Hospital, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the deputy director of the National Cancer Center.

After learning about Academician Shi's reputation, Wu Keqing felt much more at ease.

"What are you thinking about, little girl?"

On the way to the inpatient department, Wu Keqing was lost in thought, and Jiang Beicheng smiled and asked with concern.

Wu Keqing smiled and shook her head.

Jiang Beicheng said, "If it doesn't work domestically, then we'll go abroad to find the best treatment team."

"I'll take care of the money and connections."

"Mmm." The girl nodded, snapped out of her daze, and walked into the VIP ward with a smile on her face.

"Qingqing is here." When Wu's mother saw her daughter, she said to Wu's father, who was lying on his side in the hospital bed.

Mr. Wu turned around and smiled, "President Jiang is here too. Thank you for making this trip in person."

The couple had long suspected the relationship between their daughter and Jiang Beicheng.

To be honest, I felt bad about it before.

It's normal for parents to find it hard to accept that their precious daughter, an only child, with such good qualities, would become someone else's mistress.

At the time, I turned a blind eye because I wanted to maintain family harmony and didn't want to have conflicts with my daughter.

My thinking has completely changed now.

They never imagined that Jiangbei City would develop so well, exceeding their previous understanding of the city.

I used to think he was a promising young talent with unlimited potential.

Now we're starting to look up to him.

He climbed too fast and too high this year.

The couple were extremely grateful to Jiang Beicheng for finding connections in Beijing to get them medical treatment.

After Jiang Beicheng arranged everything, he was able to accompany his daughter to visit them today, which made them very happy.

This proves that Jiang Beicheng cares about his daughter and considers them family.

He's not the kind of man who just plays around for fun or for the thrill of something new.

"How are you feeling, Uncle Wu?" Jiang Beichen walked over and sat down.

"It's better than being in Chengdu. Coming to Beijing makes me feel more at ease, like I've seen hope again," Mr. Wu said with a smile.

For critically ill patients, encountering a good doctor is truly like a ray of light shining into their hearts.

Regardless of the outcome, the mental pressure will be greatly reduced.

Hope has been rekindled.

"Uncle Wu, you should maintain this mindset. Research on oncology in China has actually reached a very high level."

"Academician Shi is the most authoritative expert in this field, so just relax, have confidence in yourself, and trust Academician Shi!" Jiang Beicheng carefully instructed.

Mr. Wu nodded: "Thank you so much for your help this time."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, we're family, so there's no need for such formalities."

My daughter's problems are my problems. I was just telling her that if things don't work out in China, we'll go abroad and try to find a solution that everyone can accept.

Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu exchanged a glance.

I know Jiang Beicheng is talking about his relationship with his daughter.

The couple has a peaceful mindset and has accepted it.

As long as the girl wasn't wronged, that's fine. The couple had benefited a lot from this, so they couldn't just turn their backs on them.

"President Jiang, it must be very difficult to get an appointment with Academician Shi, right? When we came in, the nurses were very surprised that we out-of-towners were able to get an appointment with Academician Shi," Aunt Wu asked casually.

It's likely that Jiang Beicheng pulled some strings here.

Jiang Beicheng said, "Academician Shi rarely sees patients; his main focus now is on academic research and hospital management."

He is arguably the most difficult oncology expert to get an appointment with in Beijing.

I asked a former leader in the military region to help me make the connection.

Wu Keqing said, "Let alone Academician Shi, it's very difficult to get an appointment with even these experts from the Academy of Medical Sciences."

The ward my father is currently in is the hardest to find; it's a private ward for a retired cadre.

The leader went home to recuperate, so the hospital room was provided for my father's treatment.

Mr. and Mrs. Wu stared at Jiang Beicheng in shock.

I never imagined that so many relationships were involved.

They are both former leaders of the military region and retired cadres. In Beijing, you can easily guess how high their rank was before retirement.

"President Jiang, you've done me a huge favor," Wu Ma exclaimed.

Jiang Beicheng comforted her, saying, "Auntie, you can never repay a favor."

You don't need to think about these things right now.

Everyone wants to see their uncle's condition improve.

He understood how Mr. and Mrs. Wu felt.

In this society, some things cannot be solved simply by spending money.

You also need to have a high social status and extensive interpersonal relationships.

Take Academician Shi for example. Having money doesn't guarantee you can get his help, but having power does.

And this ward for retired cadres—it's even harder without connections.

If I queue for another ward, I don't know how long I'll have to wait.

Many wealthy people go to great lengths to pull strings just to get a hospital bed.

However, in a place like Beijing, ordinary connections are really useless.

Even though Mr. and Mrs. Wu had some savings, coming to Beijing for medical treatment was no different from that of ordinary people.

Some thresholds are just too difficult to cross.

"how do you feel today?"

Academician Shi brought his doctoral students to visit the patient.

Jiang Beicheng stood up and respectfully greeted him, "Hello, Academician Shi."

Jiangbei City.

"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jiang." Academician Shi smiled and shook hands with Jiang Beicheng. "You arrived today?"

"Well, just arrived."

"When the old leader called me, he said he was helping one of his friends. I was quite surprised at the time. Who was this friend of the old leader?"
After learning more about President Jiang, I realized he truly is a role model for young people in the new era.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jiang."

Academician Shi exchanged a few polite words.

Jiang Beicheng continued, "Before coming to Beijing, I also consulted with many professors in the industry, and they all recommended Academician Shi."

"I am very grateful to Academician Shi for his help."

Academician Shi said, "I have seen the test results they brought, and we have been observing them for a few days."

President Jiang, what I can tell you now is that the illness is not as bad as you think.

Although it is in an advanced stage, the research and treatment of liver cancer are now very mature in clinical medicine.

With active cooperation in the hospital's treatment plan, a satisfactory outcome will be achieved.

Everyone understood what I meant.

The main goal of current treatments is to prolong life.

Given Mr. Wu's current age, there is a very good chance that he will live to the average life expectancy.
