Kisaragi's Long-Strange Collection Notes

Chen Meimei stopped walking out and immediately turned back:

"Are you crazy! Dr. Hua is a mysterious figure. You, an ordinary person, are going to investigate him? You'll be 100% discovered."

Ashes remained calm: "He's already found out."

"Has he already been in contact with you?"

"He is my attending physician."

All Chen Meimei wants to do right now is shout "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").

You assassins, you suspected masterminds, you've really gone all out, walking a tightrope over a cliff, like crows flying in airplanes. You're really something else.

Chen Meimei rushed home immediately, wrote down the newly obtained information on a small piece of paper, nailed it to a small blackboard, and made a case analysis network diagram.

After analyzing the situation, the family members came up with a new solution.

"The cycle continues, now it's up to you."

He fiddled with the syringe in his hand, a smirk playing on his lips.

"The clinic, what a place full of memories. Wait for my news."

That afternoon.

A new head nurse named Huanxun has joined the East District Clinic.

Although medical staff are scarce, it's not easy for an ordinary person to become a head nurse right away.

Unfortunately, the head nurse who came to apply for the job this time possesses [mysterious] level medical and nursing skills. Let alone a head nurse, she could even be hired as a chief physician directly.

After dusk, the rainbow moon rose in the sky.

Blood-red moonlight streamed through the eyebrow window, illuminating the corridor inside the East District Clinic building.

Dr. Hua has just finished a surgery.

As soon as I stepped out of the operating room, an unfamiliar nurse was standing at the door.

"Dr. Hua, I'm the new head nurse, Huanxu. The director needs to speak with you."

"Okay, I'll change my clothes and go."

The clinic director's office.

The current director of the East District Clinic is surnamed Guo. He is also a staff member of the municipal government and will retire in the second half of this year.

"Chief Guo, what can I do for you?"

"Xiao Hua, sit down. Have you thought about that matter?"

Dr. Hua glanced at the new head nurse, Huanxu, who had brought him along.

"The head nurse is one of our own; we'll need to rely on her for all major surgeries in the future."

Director Guo had no intention of letting Huanxuan go. In the afternoon, he had already witnessed Huanxuan's abilities and personality firsthand. It was safe to say that all the high-difficulty surgeries at the clinic would need her assistance in the future.

"Director Guo, thank you for your promotion and protection all this time, but I still cannot accept what happened."

Director Guo's smile vanished: "Dr. Hua, you'd better think this through. If you don't take this step, then the position of the next director will have nothing to do with you."

"I know what I'm doing; a doctor should always have some principles."

"Dr. Hua, why are you doing this? You should know very well that even if you don't do it, you can't stop others from doing it. Only by getting to the top can you achieve what you want to do."

"There are many people who are willing to compromise and make changes, but I am not. I'm sorry, Director." Dr. Hua stood up directly from his chair.

As Dr. Hua left, Director Guo's face turned as black as charcoal.

He took several large gulps of tea to calm himself down, then turned to look at Huanlu: "Huanlu, what are your thoughts on organ transplantation?"

"A normal medical procedure."

"What if it's about trading the lives of the poor for the lives of the powerful?"

"From the day this technology appeared, it was unstoppable. I am a nurse, and I only care about things in the ward. The rest is up to the law."

Director Guo sighed:

"If only Xiaohua thought that way too."

"It's a cycle. I'll be retiring in a few months. With Dr. Hua and you working together, the clinic had two incredibly capable people. I can imagine how many patients we could save over the next few decades. It's a pity that Xiao Hua is so stubborn; he just can't understand."

There was no response.

Director Guo seemed to have opened a floodgate of conversation, entering the reminiscing mode of an elderly person:

"Xiao Hua lost his parents when he was very young and was raised by his grandmother."

Just as he graduated from the Four Symbols Academy, his grandmother contracted a disease that was incurable with current medical technology and eventually passed away.

So after graduating from school, he didn't join any association. Instead, he came to our clinic, determined to conquer that disease.

He's been doing this for almost 20 years.

As his medical skills improved, his reputation grew, and he gradually became a guest of honor for various powerful and influential people.

What's remarkable is that this young man has managed to stay true to his original aspirations and still dedicate a great deal of energy to treating ordinary patients.

About six or seven years ago, the dark side of the world finally came to him.

Someone asked him to perform organ transplant surgery.

The person he needed to save was the child of a benefactor he had known for many years, while the organ donor was a desperate person from the bottom of society.

He was offered everything: a voluntary agreement, clinic permission, and generous compensation, but he refused.

He didn't do it, but the nobleman's child was still saved; other doctors did it.

Since then, his situation has become very delicate.

Haha, even if he doesn't do anything and is just getting treatment for a common ailment at the hospital, no one will bother him.

But he also has his own ambitions.

He wanted to run for the position of clinic director, and he wanted to be upright and incorruptible. How could those people let him take office?

If he becomes the director, he might shut down organ transplantation.

He wasn't blocking other people's path to wealth; he was blocking their more noble destinies.

After listening quietly for a while, he asked, "What is the director's attitude?"

"I'm considered someone important at this clinic, but once I leave, I'm just another face in the crowd. Even if I wanted to help, I'm powerless to do so."

Seeing that Huanlu remained silent, Director Guo could only continue on his own: "I can't help you, but if you're willing to join forces with him, we can give it a shot."

So, the reason why Director Guo and the newly hired head nurse, Huanxuan, talked so much was because of this.

"If your abilities are combined, it will definitely be 1+1>2. As long as you can treat enough terminal illnesses, you will have more say in the medical field."

In this world, it's not just doctors who need to compromise; those in power who are waiting to be saved also have to compromise.

"Is this the real reason Director Guo called me here tonight? To act as an intermediary for that Dr. Hua?"

"I just hope this clinic will be better after I leave. If you agree, the position of deputy director will be yours."

I laughed repeatedly.

Director Guo smiled too.

Five minutes later.

He walked out of the director's office in a loop.

I just went down one floor.

There was a figure at the corner, straightening up from a position leaning against the wall.

I kept looking at the man whose face was half-hidden in the darkness.

"Dr. Hua, is there something you need?"

"I heard that the head nurse of the circulation department just started today, and she's already become one of the director's people so quickly."

"I'm not anyone's person, what are you trying to say?"

"The director will retire in a few months, and I'd like you to help me."

"Are you personally taking action this time? Director Guo already offered the position of 'deputy director' as leverage, so what other offer can you make?"

Dr. Hua paused for a few seconds before speaking: "I can't give you those things, I just want to save more people."

Huanhuan tilted his head: "That's a pity. The conditions offered by the director aren't enough for me to help you."

Dr. Hua frowned: "What do you mean? The director is offering you conditions to help me?"

"Good acting, still pretending you two haven't communicated." A cold laugh echoed in the background.

Dr. Hua shook his head:

"How could that be! Director Guo is in charge of the organ transplant project and is the person who least wants me to be promoted. He lied to you."
