Those Years When I Was Forced to Top the Forbes List

Chapter 207: How about we change your household registration?

When are you coming?

"Hmm, there are no buses today. How about tomorrow morning, okay?"

"Okay, call me when you arrive."

Chen Xuebing hung up the phone and thanked Minister He.

Minister He simply said it was his duty, and seeing that he wasn't in a hurry, he explained that he would arrange for someone to bring the card over again tomorrow morning.

When Chen Xuebing heard the word "get a card" again, he found it a bit strange. Why would he need a card to get someone to perform surgery at the hospital?

However, medical policies vary from place to place, and there might be preferential policies for government employees if you get the card, so I didn't ask any more questions.

As soon as everyone left and returned to the hotel, Cheng Danting called again, hurriedly saying that she had a car and could come over tonight.

Chen Xuebing was a little helpless. It was already past ten o'clock, and he didn't want to bother Minister He any longer, so he said he would try to go to the emergency room to get admitted to the hospital first, or find a hotel to stay in.

He remembered that Liang Hui's father also had coronary heart disease and had undergone stent surgery. Before the surgery, when he visited him, he could walk and move around, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, the surgery carries a high risk.

Back in 2013 or 2014, they said the risks were high, which made Liang Hui cry his eyes out when he sent his father into the operating room. With the medical conditions these days, the risks of the surgery should be even greater. Lu'an is just a fourth or fifth-tier city with a GDP of just over 200 billion yuan. It would be safer to have the surgery done in the provincial capital.

Cheng Danting hesitated for a moment.

"it is good."

In 2006, the Hefei-Lu'an-Yeji section of the expressway was under construction and had not yet been opened to traffic.

A silver Jetta was driving on a county road at midnight.

The curly-haired woman in the back row nudged the man next to her, shifted her position, and muttered to Cheng Danting:

"Danting, look, we still have to trouble your brother Xiaofeng, right? I already told you, we have connections at Hefei Third People's Hospital. His father is a director there, and Ye Feng is a doctor. He even drove all the way from Hefei to pick you up in the middle of the night. How good is that to us? He's from the provincial capital, so he has a stable job, a car, and a house. We have such a great in-law."

The curly-haired woman nudged the worried-looking man next to her with her elbow as she spoke:

"Isn't that great? Right, brother-in-law? Oh, brother-in-law, move over a bit, it's so crowded."

The man moved to the side, not wanting to respond, nor knowing what to say.

What kind of doctor? Just a medical student who hasn't graduated yet.

Besides, how much better are the conditions at the Third Municipal Hospital compared to those in Lu'an?
He knew how ambitious his daughter was. Danting was so young, and her mother was ill; it was really inappropriate for her sister-in-law to come and try to play matchmaker.

The curly-haired woman kept talking: "Xiao Feng, I'm telling you, you should get a new car. Your family is so rich. Your dad spends thousands of dollars on surgery. You should get a better car!"

The young man in his early twenties in the driver's seat smiled calmly and said, "This car is just for practicing. Once I'm more familiar with it, I'll get an Audi. My family has too many cars now. My dad has one too, and we can't fit any more in the garage."

The curly-haired woman clicked her tongue in disapproval, nudged the man with her elbow, and proudly raised her chin.

The man ignored him, but sighed inwardly.

Police officers and doctors both serve the people, yet his income is far lower than theirs.

Cheng Danting, standing beside her, was lost in thought.

Audi.

Chen Xuebing also drives an Audi.

Are Audis really that easy to buy?
Ye Feng glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that Cheng Danting didn't seem to react to what he had just said, as if she was still lost in thought. He was somewhat dissatisfied.

At that moment, a truck sped towards them, and Ye Feng quickly slowed down. The vortex created by the heavy truck made the car sway.

The middle-aged woman who was reclining in the front passenger seat was startled and began to move, clutching her chest and groaning.

Ye Feng turned his head and looked at her, then immediately said in a serious and authoritative tone, "Aunt Yao has CCS level three, which can trigger angina if she walks a hundred or two meters. Your friend actually made her go to a hotel to spend the night! It's very dangerous to go back and forth like that, you know? Dan Ting, what kind of friend of yours is he? How can he be so unreliable?"

Cheng Danting finally responded to the reprimand.

Cheng Danting frowned with worry as she looked at her mother's condition: "It's my classmate. He's really capable. He happened to be in Anhui on a business trip and said he could help with the procedure. I wanted to take my mom to the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China for the procedure, as it's safer. I didn't explain it clearly to him. We were supposed to go tomorrow, but it's too late now, and he can't easily find someone else at the last minute."

The First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) was originally donated to USTC by Anhui Province. The good reputation left by USTC has been passed down by word of mouth for many years, and everyone knows the strength of this hospital. If you are traveling north without leaving the province, this is the best medical choice.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt a surge of bitterness welling up inside him.

"Is she your classmate? Coming here on a business trip? Or is she from out of town? Haha, I didn't even want to say this before, but I have a friend who works at the First Affiliated Hospital, and he's the head of the medical team, in charge of surgery arrangements. I just asked him, and nobody even bothered to arrange anything for Aunt Yao! The beds for cardiology and surgery are completely full tonight! Forget about people from out of town, even my friend can't get a bed. Even if we try now, it will take three to five days to get a bed, and the surgery will take even longer! Trying to find someone to arrange surgery tomorrow morning? Dream on! If you don't believe me, I'll ask around!"

After saying that, he solemnly took out his phone and made a call.

They even put it on speakerphone and asked very loudly.

The result was disappointing.

Mr. Cheng couldn't help but glance at his daughter.

He originally came here to try his luck, thinking he could always go to Lu'an if things didn't work out, but he was very disappointed when he heard that it wouldn't work out.

But noticing her daughter's aggrieved expression and feeling a pang of heartache, she spoke in a low voice to those ahead:
"Xiao Ye, drive carefully, watch the road, don't make phone calls, and take responsibility for your life."

Ye Feng's smugness, which had been all the more advantageous, came to an abrupt end.

Because he suddenly remembered that the person behind him was a traffic policeman.

He's a veteran traffic police officer from the municipal bureau.

Moreover, we haven't even left Lu'an yet; we're still within their jurisdiction.
The next day.

Hefei Third People's Hospital.

The streets were somewhat deserted during the Spring Festival, but the hospital was incredibly bustling.

Mr. Cheng and Cheng Danting sat in the ward, completely distraught.

Ye Feng regained his prestige.

"Uncle Cheng, look! Several cardiac surgery patients have been transferred to stroke wards! This bed was reserved by my dad through connections! Half of the chief physicians aren't available, and this surgery won't be scheduled until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year! I'm trying to think of a way to move it to the afternoon of the third day!"

Mr. Cheng was somewhat displeased with the young man's tone. He pointed to the bed next to Mrs. Cheng, where his sister-in-law was sleeping soundly. He smacked his lips.

"Isn't this an empty hospital bed?"

"Heh." Ye Feng sneered, "That was left by a relative of the vice president! He's also waiting for surgery! He went home to rest! If you don't believe me, go out and ask around, see if there's a spare bed for you."

Cheng's father breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tingting, if it doesn't work out, we can do it here. Don't make things difficult for your friend."

He could see the situation clearly today. The corridor was filled with the sounds of coordinating wards. This was the Third Affiliated Hospital, let alone the First Affiliated Hospital.

Cheng Danting bit her lower lip.

She believed that Chen Xuebing was not someone who boasted recklessly.

She sent Chen Xuebing a text message early this morning, but he hasn't replied yet.

If Chen Xuebing really didn't take it seriously and acted the same way as before, then...
She would rather transfer her mother back to Lu'an so that the surgery could be done as soon as possible.

"Brother Ye Feng, thank you for today. We'll wait a bit, and then we'll leave once my friend arrives."

"Are you kidding me? She's on anticoagulants. Let's go? Unless you can get another hospital to bring a stretcher to pick her up! Does your friend have that kind of ability?"

Ye Feng, who thought Cheng Danting was still hoping to transfer to the First Affiliated Hospital, was shouting.

Someone looked around the door and then knocked.

"Cheng Danting?"

Chen Xuebing, the notorious pigeon-cracker whose reputation had been damaged, appeared at the door as promised for the first time.

When Cheng Danting saw that smiling face, she almost cried. Even though they were only a few meters apart, she stood up and waved.

"Here, here!"

Chen Xuebing then walked in and asked curiously, "Weren't you supposed to go to the USTC Affiliated Hospital for emergency treatment and stay there first? How did you end up here?"

The three people in the ward who could speak all fell silent.

Cheng's father, a policeman, observed Chen Xuebing's expression and knew that the young man had no idea how difficult it was to see a doctor. Disappointed, he stood up and said:

"Are you Tingting's classmate? I heard you're from Chongqing? There are probably more hospitals where you are, right? It's very difficult to get into the emergency room at hospitals in our provincial capital. We only managed to get here with great difficulty."

These words carried a hint of reproach, after all, calling someone over and then ignoring them all night is not the way friends should interact, but he still reached out to Chen Xuebing.

"Oh dear, it's my fault!"

Chen Xuebing only realized upon entering that the hospital's public facilities were much more rudimentary than he remembered, and there were far more people; several long queues formed at the payment counter on the first floor.

Adding to Cheng's father's words, he realized that going to the emergency room in case of an emergency might not be applicable these days.

This was taught to him by a doctor, who said that outpatient clinics require registration and waiting for a doctor, while emergency rooms have a green channel. If the condition is urgent, don't go to the outpatient clinic; it's much faster to transfer from the emergency room to the inpatient department.

He felt that coronary heart disease was a serious illness, which is why he made the suggestion.

Chen Xuebing shook Cheng's father's hand and apologized twice, but his expression became strange again.

"Uncle Cheng is a policeman, right?"

Mr. Cheng was taken aback: "Tingting told you?" Chen Xuebing laughed and said: "No, my dad is a policeman. I've been dealing with police since I was a child. I can tell a policeman at a glance. Your hands must have handled guns a lot in the past. You're a criminal investigator, right? Or a narcotics officer?"

Mr. Cheng subconsciously loosened his grip on her hand.

Seeing Chen Xuebing's relaxed expression, Cheng Danting's heart gradually settled down. She took her father's arm and introduced him, "His father was a hero; he sacrificed his life."

"Oh, the child of a model worker!" Mr. Cheng's eyes widened for a moment, and while looking Chen Xuebing up and down, he shook hands with Chen Xuebing again.

This time, the handshake was much stronger.

Chen Xuebing didn't want to hurt the old man, so he didn't push his luck.

After a while, Mr. Cheng laughed.

"You have a keen eye, and your physique is solid too. Your father must have put a lot of effort into training you, right? You should follow in your father's footsteps and carry on his legacy!"

"Never mind, my mom won't agree." Chen Xuebing waved his hands repeatedly, chuckling awkwardly as he changed the subject: "When I came in just now, I heard that Auntie had trouble being transferred to another hospital? We need a stretcher? We'll need an ambulance from the University of Science and Technology of China Affiliated Hospital, right?"

Ye Feng, who was standing next to him, finally couldn't hold back and sneered, "It would be best if a helicopter came."

Chen Xuebing was a seasoned veteran; he could glean quite a bit from the man's posture of having his hands behind his back.

Furthermore, neither Cheng's father nor Cheng Danting introduced this person, leading to speculation about their relationship.

"You found the ward, right? Thank you so much, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to Squad Leader Cheng."

Since it was a formal occasion, Chen Xuebing still extended his hand tentatively for a handshake. When the other party didn't move for a second, he casually patted himself, pretending to look for his phone, and then took out his phone, dialed a number, and put it to his ear.

Ye Feng saw that Ye Feng was still thinking about how to say something aloof when he reached out his hand. His hand had disappeared. Ye Feng subconsciously reached out to look for it, but then awkwardly froze in mid-air and put his hand back in his pocket.

Cheng Danting smiled inwardly as she read this.

They won't suffer any loss.

Cheng's father was also secretly pleased.

He's quite a clever young man.

Chen Xuebing's words immediately interrupted the thoughts of all three.

"Minister He, I've arrived. The patient is pushing his medication, so it might take... Oh, oh, is the mayor coming? Oh, okay, I'll wait for him... He's already here? Okay, I'll give him a call."

After a few words, the call ended.

Mr. Cheng stared wide-eyed, while Cheng Danting stood there dumbfounded.

"Mayor?" Ye Feng couldn't help but ask, then wondered if he had missed something: "...Head Nurse?"

Chen Xuebing dialed another number and chuckled dryly: "There's a mayor in Hefei with the surname Hu?"

Ten minutes later, the small ward was packed with people.

Dean, Director, Attending Physician, Reporter.

Even Ye Feng, the director of the X department, and the patient's family members, Cheng's father and Cheng Danting, were squeezed to the periphery.

Mayor Wu simply smiled as he sat in the hospital room.

He took a silver card from his secretary, handed it to Chen Xuebing, and then said, "Mr. Chen has made positive contributions to the development of our city, and we must also do our best to ensure talent security. Hefei has just implemented an investment green card policy to provide comprehensive protection for foreign investors. Today, on behalf of the municipal government, I am issuing the first investment green card. I hope that Mr. Chen and Hefei will build a lasting friendship, and I also wish Mr. Chen's investment a successful implementation!"

The words were followed by a round of applause.

Chen Xuebing clapped along, then looked through the cards in his hand.

[Hefei Investment Green Card No. 0001]

"Mr. Chen, is everything going smoothly? I heard that the Sharp people left yesterday."

"They may be back soon. You should receive them as appropriate, but don't make any statements yet. I will take action soon. If BOE comes to you, please forward it to me and I will handle the negotiations."

Can you guarantee that we will cooperate according to your proposed plan?

"If it doesn't work, keep negotiating. They don't have much time and will eventually give in. However, Hefei needs to guarantee that they will give me Gree's preferential tax terms. Also, you may need to take the initiative to negotiate with the China Development Bank and try to get them to lend to both you and BOE. Ideally, you could get a six-month to one-year interest-free period."

"This is a huge project; we need the provincial government to step in."

"That's natural. Only the three major policy banks, which are not profit-oriented, can provide you with more lenient and cheaper funds. Given your current investment pace, I suggest you go with people from the province and do more business with the China Development Bank. Even if this project doesn't come to fruition, it will still be useful in the future."

Chen Xuebing and Mayor Wu had a private conversation at the end of the corridor before Mayor Wu led a group of hospital staff away to other floors.

He didn't come specifically for Chen Xuebing; he was already visiting and inspecting the medical system these past two days, and only temporarily changed the order of his itinerary for Chen Xuebing.

But judging from their conversation just now—Chen Xuebing talking the whole time and Mayor Wu nodding repeatedly—anyone could tell that this man was no ordinary person.

Ye Feng was already whispering fearfully to his father, terrified that his words and actions had offended this important figure.

Director Ye quickly grasped the crux of the problem and began to fawn over the Cheng family father and daughter with a smile.

Just as Chen Xuebing returned to the ward door, the mayor's entourage rushed over and handed him another form.

"Mr. Chen... please fill out this green card holder's personal information, and we will forward it to the relevant department's office system."

Chen Xuebing read through the book, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Green card recipients: Legal representatives or general managers of foreign-invested enterprises in our city whose actual investment reaches the following scales: agricultural projects with actual investment of more than 1000 million yuan; high-tech industrial projects with actual investment of more than 5000 million yuan; processing and manufacturing, modern service industry, cultural, educational, health and sports and other social undertakings projects with actual investment of more than 2 million yuan; urban infrastructure and other tertiary industry projects with actual investment of more than 5 million yuan.

Holding this green card grants you a total of eleven rights.

1. Those who make outstanding contributions will be awarded relevant honorary titles by HF City. 2. They will be invited to attend relevant meetings of the Municipal People's Congress, the Municipal Government, and the Municipal Political Consultative Conference. 3. The Administrative Service Center will provide free, full-process agency services for those applying to establish investment enterprises. 4. They will enjoy priority access to credit support…

Toll stations within the jurisdiction are free.

Free bus rides within the city...

Seeing this, Chen Xuebing was speechless.

Is this counted as two separate cases?
If you're eligible to receive it, why would you care about a few dollars?

However, there are two more crucial points.

I and my immediate family members enjoy municipal-level designated medical services. We can make appointments by phone and enjoy specialist services provided by the hospital; during consultations, the hospital will assign a physician at the level of associate chief physician or above to receive me and provide a comprehensive "one-stop" service; for complex cases, the hospital will arrange consultations with experts both inside and outside the hospital; if the conditions for home medical services are met, the hospital will arrange medical staff to provide home visits; and I will receive one free routine physical examination per year.

One person can apply for urban household registration for themselves, their spouse, and one child.

"This... I don't need it regarding personal rights, can I give it to a friend instead?"

Chen Xuebing glanced at Cheng Danting.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Danting walked over and looked at the form with curiosity.

Mr. Cheng was also curious, but he pretended to be calm and didn't want to be so obviously trying to climb the social ladder.

"Um... no, Mr. Chen, this is an honor for you, and you should be invited to the meeting as well."

"Then I'll fill in the name of the person entitled to medical care, the auntie lying in the bed, okay?"

The staff member looked Chen Xuebing and Cheng Danting up and down: "Are you...married? The notice says immediate family members."

Chen Xuebing's face darkened.

"Girlfriend? That's her mother, is that not okay?"

Cheng Danting finally finished reading the terms and conditions. Her eyes flickered, and she stammered, "Yes...we're getting married."

Chen Xuebing smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

That's right, that's a real benefit. Don't worry too much about your reputation when it matters.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Cheng almost cried out in disbelief and hurriedly came over.

Upon seeing the terms and conditions above, they were momentarily speechless.

Specialized services, consultations with associate chief physicians, home visits…

If we had this, Tingting's mother's illness would finally be taken care of!

"Alright then." The staff member, also afraid of offending this God of Wealth, nodded in agreement.

Chen Xuebing then looked on with satisfaction.

"Hmm, we can also register our household in Hefei. Cheng Danting, how about we change our household registration?"

"No," Cheng's father blurted out.

Cheng Danting shook her head.

"want."

Mr. Cheng looked at his daughter in astonishment.

Cheng Danting looked back with a determined gaze, a look that contained the resentment of living in a small city for many years.

Mr. Cheng gradually relaxed.

"Okay. Now we have someone from the provincial capital in our family."

　Many big names have said they don't like reading about women, but the author still has to write. It's a matter of writing conviction. You can't just make a character disappear because you don't like them. The story development you originally planned will also have gaps, so you have to keep writing. Although the plot is a bit dragging, there will be extra updates soon. I'll try to "start my good fortune" as soon as possible and create more engaging scenes afterward.
