From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

The door was pushed open again, and a middle-aged man in his forties entered, half-supporting and half-dragging a woman in her sixties.

The woman's face was pale, her eyelids were heavy, and she leaned limply against her son, her feet slipping as if they were greased.

"Doctor, my mother woke up like this this morning. She's weak all over, can't hold anything, and her speech is slurred..."

The middle-aged man was sweating profusely with anxiety.

Lu Yunzhou's gaze lingered on the woman for two seconds before he suddenly raised his hand to stop Luo Qingyi, who was about to step forward.

"Don't touch her yet."

He said to the middle-aged man, "Let your mother off the hook and let her walk a few steps by herself."

The middle-aged man looked hesitant, and Luo Qingyi turned her head to look at him.

"Do as I say."

Lu Yunzhou spoke with certainty.

The middle-aged man released his grip.

The woman swayed and barely managed to stand, then took a step forward.

The first step was okay, the second step started to go astray, and the third step caused the whole person to fall to the left, with their toes dragging on the ground as they veered in an arc.

The middle-aged man was so frightened that he rushed over to support him.

Lu Yunzhou's brow furrowed, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke: "Brain hemorrhage."

Luo Qingyi paused, her pen stopping in her hand: "What did you say?"

"Brain hemorrhage."

Lu Yunzhou repeated, "The bleeding in the left basal ganglia region is not large, but it has already compressed the motor nerve pathway."

Luo Qingyi frowned: "There are many reasons why someone might be unsteady on their feet. Cerebellar lesions, vestibular dysfunction, or even cervical spine problems could all cause it. How dare you draw such a conclusion so readily?"

"Her left side is significantly weaker than her right, her mouth is skewed to the right by about two millimeters, and her slurred speech is not a tongue problem, but a facial nerve compression."

Lu Yunzhou counted on his fingers, "Plus, it suddenly started this morning, without any prodromal symptoms, so it's not the chronic onset pattern of an infarction."

Luo Qingyi crossed her arms and looked at him without saying a word.

Lu Yunzhou smiled and said, "Sister Qingyi, how about we make a bet?"

"What are we betting on?"

"I'll bet I'm right or wrong."

Lu Yunzhou leaned back in his chair. "If the CT scan doesn't show a brain hemorrhage, I'll cover all the costs of this lady's subsequent examinations and treatments."

Luo Qingyi raised an eyebrow: "And you were right?"

Lu Yunzhou looked into her eyes, a smile spreading across his face: "Give me a kiss."

There was a two-second silence in the examination room.

Luo Qingyi's ears turned red at a visible speed, and then her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed, and the medical record folder almost hit him on the forehead.

"Lu Yunzhou, what nonsense are you spouting in my consultation room?"

"It's just a gamble, why would a hospital director be afraid of losing?"

Lu Yunzhou shrugged. "Besides, I lost real money. Do you think I'm at a disadvantage?"

Luo Qingyi gritted her teeth and slammed the medical record folder back onto the table.

"Okay, let's bet."

"Let's talk after the CT scan results."

Lu Yunzhou waved his hand at the middle-aged man: "Take your mother to get a head CT scan. Go through the emergency room. Be quick and come back."

The woman was helped out of the house by her family members.

Luo Qingyi sat back down, her ears still red, and picked up a pen to write on the medical record book, but not a single word was written in the grid.

Lu Yunzhou wisely kept quiet and waited with his legs crossed.

Before the CT scan results arrived, Luo Qingyi's phone rang.

She answered the call, and her expression changed within three seconds.

"What?"

"Where?"

"I'll be right there."

The sound of the chair legs scraping the ground was jarring. Luo Qingyi had already stood up, the hem of her white coat billowing in the wind.

Something's happened.

As she walked out, she said, "A leader who came down from the province for research just fainted in the administration building. He's already been brought in."

Lu Yunzhou followed behind: "How's the situation?"

"I don't know, he's lost consciousness. We'll see what happens later."

The two walked briskly through two corridors and turned into the inpatient department.

Five or six elderly men in white coats, their hair gray and their expressions solemn, were gathered at the entrance of the emergency room. Some were rubbing their hands together, while others were pacing back and forth.

As soon as they saw Luo Qingyi, several old men surrounded her.

"Dean, you've finally arrived!"

"What's going on?"

Luo Qingyi kept walking.

A director wearing reading glasses lowered his voice: "Deputy Director Chen of the Provincial Department just collapsed while speaking in the conference room."

"Our initial assessment is that it's a cerebrovascular accident, but the CT scan will take at least 20 minutes. Without the imaging results, none of us dare to proceed."

"What if it's handled improperly..."

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but everyone understood the meaning.

Luo Qingyi's lips were pressed into a thin line.

Another bald, elderly expert chimed in: "Dean, this man is a powerful figure in the province. If something happens to him in our institute, no one can bear the responsibility."

A group of people were pacing anxiously, but no one dared to enter the door.

Lu Yunzhou stood behind Luo Qingyi, his gaze passing over the crowd and landing on the glass window of the emergency room.

Inside lay a man in his early fifties, his face ashen, his lips purple. The waveform on the electrocardiogram monitor looked relatively stable, but his breathing rate was already too fast.

"Sister Qingyi".

He said, "Let me go in and take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of several veteran experts turned to him.

"Who is this?"

The doctor, who wears reading glasses, looked him up and down.

"My assistant is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine."

Luo Qingyi gave a brief reply.

The man with the reading glasses frowned so deeply it could trap a fly: "Dean, the provincial officials are lying inside. You're letting a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in? What if…?"

"That's right, Dean. If we rush into treatment without test results, the entire hospital will be held responsible if something goes wrong."

The bald expert waved his hands repeatedly.

Lu Yunzhou ignored them and only looked at Luo Qingyi.

"What if something happens to the people inside while you're all standing outside waiting for the report?"

His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear: "I'll go in and take your pulse, check your condition, it'll only take three minutes."

The old man with reading glasses blushed: "Young man, this is an emergency room, not a place for you to practice your skills!"

The bald-headed expert chimed in, "Dean, please think it over. A mistake involving a patient of this caliber can't be resolved with just an apology."

Lu Yunzhou didn't argue with them anymore, but turned his head to look at Luo Qingyi.

Luo Qingyi stood still, her hand gripping the pen in the pocket of her white coat, her knuckles tightening and loosening.

She looked up and met Lu Yunzhou's gaze for two seconds.

There was no hesitation or gambler's wishful thinking in those eyes, only an indescribable certainty.

The same certainty I had when diagnosing a brain hemorrhage in the examination room.

"Make way, everyone."

Luo Qingyi's voice deepened, carrying the weight befitting a dean.

Several senior experts' expressions changed simultaneously: "Dean!"

"Let him in. If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility."

Luo Qingyi walked to the door of the emergency room, pushed it open herself, stepped aside to make way, and looked at Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou nodded to her and strode inside.

The door to the emergency room closed behind me, and the corridor was deathly silent.

All the arguments outside were kept in another world.
