Chapter 196 The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend (Cheng Yubai)
(The content of this chapter is entirely fictional.)
Shen Zhaoyi's mind was no longer on this matter. She casually ordered a special drink he recommended and started urging him on.

"Now you can tell me, right? What exactly happened between the dean and the director?"

Cheng Yubai closed the menu and handed it back to the waiter. After the waiter left, she looked at her with a half-smile and said, "You're quite attentive."

Shen Zhaoyi rolled her eyes at him.

Isn't this just him building up the anticipation first?
And what do you mean by saying that you also contributed to this?

After all, this involved human lives, and she didn't want to get involved.

Seeing that the misunderstanding seemed a bit serious, Cheng Yubai decided to explain the last question first.

"Don't be nervous. What I mean is, thanks to you getting me to the Medical Association, I was able to use Director Zhao's connections to get in touch with leaders from other hospitals."

"and then?"

Shen Zhaoyi didn't understand, what did this have to do with other people?
Seeing that she was still frowning, Cheng Yubai continued to explain: "My vice president is retiring this year, and I have been trying to use his impressive resume to get him rehired for a job at the CPPCC."

"But you also know, he's not the only one in S City who's reached that age..."

"So you went to join the rivals?" Shen Zhaoyi blurted out.

Why does it feel like there's some kind of conspiracy, both overt and covert, where people are scheming against each other?
In a harmonious society, this is indeed quite exciting.

Cheng Yubai said helplessly, "Watch less short dramas, they're not good for your brain."

Everyone wants to climb the ladder, especially those who reach the positions of dean or vice dean. Even after retirement, few are truly content to retire peacefully.

They talk about empty titles, but in reality, they wish they could hold power until they die.

Everyone is openly or secretly competing with each other.

It was also by chance that Cheng Yubai ran into the leaders of another hospital when he went with Director Zhao to solicit sponsorships.

The other person had heard of him, and after a few words, they started talking about why he had left the hospital.

That person is also about to retire.

Coincidentally, they also set their sights on that same CPPCC position.

Everyone has connections. The appraisal report that Cheng Yubai couldn't submit at first was transferred to the other party after it was confirmed that they had the capability.

Of course, he was also careful and didn't give them the original.
Not long after, the family of the patient involved in the medical malpractice incident two years ago came to the door again to cause trouble.

This time, they seem quite confident.

I initially thought that the vice dean was trying to maintain his "zero major incidents" record by colluding with the director on duty to tamper with records.

But unexpectedly, other things came up later.

The hospital purchased a batch of ward equipment around that time, which was substandard goods that the director had obtained by accepting bribes from a medical device company.

The real cause of death was not a complication at all, but equipment malfunction.

However, after the incident, the director took advantage of his position to remove him from his post, so Cheng Yubai didn't think about it at the time.

Therefore, he and the dean are inextricably linked in this matter.

As for why the family members suddenly quieted down, it was because the vice president personally went there and threatened them to shut up by saying that "compensation would only be paid if a confidentiality agreement was signed."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhaoyi felt that her worldview had been completely overturned.

This is a matter of human life! How could they be so careless for their own selfish desires?
Cheng Yubai lowered his eyes and said calmly, "What you're told is just the tip of the iceberg."

Shen Zhaoyi understood this principle; it's like when a child says they need to poop, it's basically already in their pocket.

She simply felt that for a doctor to be so morally corrupt was truly heartless.

Compared to this, Cheng Yubai is actually quite good.

It's just that I speak a bit harshly.

After comparing the two, Shen Zhaoyi's opinion of Cheng Yubai changed considerably. "So after you left your job, you've been looking for an opportunity to uncover the truth?"

Cheng Yubai countered by asking her why she didn't think she wanted to go back to the hospital. "Am I stupid, or are you stupid?"

"Let's not even talk about whether it will be successful or not. When you were live streaming, your income was no less than that of a regular job, and it was much easier. Anyone would know which option to choose."

Cheng Yubai laughed at her, saying, "Then you're really wrong. I don't earn much from my live streams."

Shen Zhaoyi looked him up and down, not quite believing what he was saying.

With a face like his, he could sit there and do nothing and still receive gifts.

It's not a very nice way to describe it, but that's the gist of it.

After all, that's how I was drawn in.

"So you're quite satisfied with my face?" Cheng Yubai said with a half-smile. "Well, someone even said they wanted to invest in it."

Shen Zhaoyi glared at him, telling him not to change the subject.

Cheng Yubai observed her reaction and made a decision in his mind.

"Indeed, quite a few gifts were sent to my face, but I returned them all."

Shen Zhaoyi thought he must be out of his mind. In the current environment, how could anyone turn down money!
Cheng Yubai seemed to have guessed what she was thinking.

"They're all here for show. Do you think they'll willingly give away these gifts for nothing?"

That hits the nail on the head.

Shen Zhaoyi suddenly remembered the request that Brother Hua had made in the "Burning Ashes" live stream. She glanced suspiciously under the table and said, "Could it be that they also asked you for those kinds of photos?"

Cheng Yubai took a sip of coffee.

This is nothing compared to what's to come; there are even more unbearable sights out there, so graphic that they need to be censored.

Seeing that Shen Zhaoyi still looked curious, he adjusted his posture and asked in return, "You know quite a lot? What, did you ask someone else for it?"

"That's not true."

She was telling the truth.

But other things kept coming to us. (Right, Mumu?)

Cheng Yubai remained only partially convinced of this answer.

But it was clear that Shen Zhaoyi didn't want to bring up herself; she pressed for details about what happened to the vice dean and the director.

"Wouldn't this be considered medical malpractice?"

"And you're also a victim caught in the crossfire, doesn't the hospital have anything to say about that?"

She didn't believe that Cheng Yubai had gone through all this trouble simply to seek justice.

The man raised his hand and pushed up the edge of his glasses, as if he wanted to get a closer look at Shen Zhaoyi. Her face seemed even more radiant than when they first met.

I wonder if her attitude has changed compared to before.

"The hospital admitted it was an oversight on their part." Cheng Yubai's lips curled into a mocking smile. "They did indeed say they wanted me to go back to my post."

After all, such a huge scandal has been exposed. As the party who suffered losses and knew all the inside information, the hospital would definitely offer him a huge benefit to keep quiet.

It's just an extra salary; compared to the hospital's reputation, it's nothing.

Hearing his implication, Shen Zhaoyi asked uncertainly, "You don't want to go back?"

Cheng Yubai nodded.

"I really don't have that idea right now."

"why?"

Shen Zhaoyi couldn't quite understand it.
