Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Mister Faulkner, please be sure to attend our banquet in the evening. The three of you would be the main stars.” Zuo Cidian dragged Hospital Director Bo along and formally sent an invitation letter to the foreign doctor before he told Hospital Director Bo, “Remember to translate the words accurately and convey my respect.”

Hospital Director Bo looked at Zuo Cidian with an “are you serious” expression, but he still referred to the three doctors as doctors when he called them.

Zuo Cidian could understand what he said a little, pouted, and said, “Can’t you translate my respect for them? It seems like your English isn’t any much better.”

“There are only those few words to show respect to foreigners, calling someone ‘doctor’ is already a respectful form of address.” Hospital Director Bo’s English was just about that level. After all, he had spent more time living in the country and did not have much experience of studying and working overseas.

Zuo Cidian grunted and said in disatisfaction, “It’s not as if you need to spend money learning honorific titles. If you are dealing with foreigners, you should research their culture just that little bit. That would yield quick, better, and more economical results at low costs.”

“I think it’s quite disrespectful for us to speak in Chinese in low voices,” Hospital Director Bo replied calmly.

Zuo Cidian chuckled, then looked up, and met Faulkner and the others’ probing eyes.

“Let’s have dinner together at night.” Zuo Cidian chuckled and thought for a while. He did not even ask Hospital Director Bo to translate as he made a eating-from-a-rice-bowl gesture to the three foreigners and said, “You, you, all, eat rice, together, munch, munch…”

The three foreigners did not understand his abysmal accent, but understood Zuo Cidian’s movements and expression, so they nodded. Dobin showed the enthusiasm of a New Yorker and nodded in response to Zuo Cidian’s actions and mimicked him, “Munch, munch…”

Hospital Director Bo watched Zuo Cidian moving away from him to interact with those foreigners. He found himself a little dazed, stunned, and his mind started wandering again.

As Hospital Director Bo was doubting his career again, Zuo Cidian asked, “How was that?”

“Are you using pylori speech?” Hospital Director Bo’s voice was also airy. When he looked at Zuo Cidian, his heart was as twisted as a helicobacter pylori.

……

That evening, Faulkner and the others arrived at Prosperous Fountain Restaurant on time.

The foreigner’s love for parties was as great as the stubbornness of a helicobacter pylori. Even a gambler like Dobin was willing to give up his activities at Mahjong school and instead brought his invitation letter for the Prosperous Fountain Restaurant.

The staff from Yunli Medical Company, together with the service staff of Prosperous Fountain Restaurant, grandiosely decorated the banquet hall with bouquets of flowers and brightly colored decorations.

Several hospital executives as well as the health bureau cadres also appeared at the scene.

As doctors from Mayo Clinic and New York-Presbyterian Hospital were attending today, it would be a good enough reason for any level of officials to attend. Correspondingly, the dishes served were also of high standards.

“It’s well-organized. It must have cost a lot of money.” Associate Hospital Director Zhou raised a champagne glass and praised Huo Congjun, who was beside her.

“It’s not particularly expensive. It’s just similar to the cost of our last New Year’s Day party,” Huo Congjun said bluntly.

“That’s not much then, but the standard sure looks high. ” Associate Hospital Director Zhou wore a relatively conservative evening gown and looked around with great interest. She had wanted to wear this dress for a long time, but she never found a suitable opportunity, and today, her wish came true.

Huo Congjun smiled. “Yunli Medical Company’s network is very wide and deep. The integration of resources is also done well.”

He often asked Yunli Medical Company to help with things, and now, something rare has indeed happened; he said a few good words about them.

Associate Hospital Director Zhou nodded slightly. “It’s no wonder Manager Xie also said that Yunli Medical Company has now found a foothold for their business.”

“They have to find a way to improve their products’ quality. It’s not enough to just remain humble,” Huo Congjun replied casually. Changxi Medical Company had invested in Yun Hua Hospital for many years, but at the end of the day, a pharmaceutical sales company was still a pharmaceutical sales company. The hospital would not have any obligation to them just because there was long-term cooperation.

Even if there was, what he was doing now was far from breaking the cooperation.

Associate Hospital Director Zhou did not care about that much. In her opinion, Yunli Medical Company was doing a good job.

The three foreigners were in a similarly good mood.

In fact, because it was a more open-minded party, Yunli Medical Company also invited more foreigners with the goal of not just accompanying Faulkner and the others, but also to expand their network. The bill was paid by Yunli Medical Company.

It was getting late. Faulkner and the others were happier as they chatted and felt that the fatigue of the long-term transoceanic flight was alleviated.

Hospital Director Bo also relaxed a bit and moved around in the foreigner’s circle. He spent most of his time with Faulkner and others.

One, this was his job. Two, although he supported the idea of a Chinese doctor operating on Chairman Du, most of the time, he still needed to rely on foreign doctors to maintain his medical intermediary business.

If people looked for Chinese doctors, those who had money or had money and power would not go through him.

For Hospital Director Bo, although Faulkner and Dobin had a relationship with Lao Yongyong, with the end of Chairman Du’s surgery, these two doctors who came from famous hospitals can also be transformed into Hospital Director’s Bo network.

He was so serious about it that he drank a bit more.

“Oh, Ling Ran is here.” Faulkner, who was drinking whiskey, lowered his glass.

Dobin also drank a lot, and looked over with glossy eyes. “Is it the one that looks super handsome?”

He pointed in a direction, and Faulkner smiled. “That’s a sculpture. Ling Ran is here.”

He manipulated Dobin’s arm a little to point at Ling Ran.

Dobin said, “Oh. No wonder, the one here is more handsome. Well, the woman around him is also beautiful, very beautiful!”

“That’s Miss Tian Qi.” Hospital Director Bo’s voice could not help but become gentler.

“Well…” Faulkner rubbed his eyes. He stared at Ling Ran and Tian Qi’s direction. No one knew what was going through his mind, but his eyes slowly turned red.

Hospital Director Bo did not know about that, but smiled and said, “Yes, the red wine you are drinking now is known as No. 7. It’s from Miss Tian Qi’s own winery. It tastes good, right?”

“She has a winery?” Faulkner was surprised.

“Does she play cards?” Dobin was more curious.

Hospital Director Bo cannot help but laugh.

“Is that a winery steward beside them?” The German, Corbert seemed to have a wider field of vision.

Hospital Director Bo calmly looked over and furrowed his brows slightly. “He looks familiar…”

“It’s Boss Shao.” Ma Yanlin was holding his wife as he smiled and introduced him. “Boss Shao is an honorary patient of Yun Hua Hospital. He falls sick often, but he’s a strong patient.”

“Oh, I have had such patients before.” Dobin smiled nostalgically.

“Before?” Hospital Director Bo noticed the past tense.

Dobin smiled. “You know, it’s difficult to have the patients the doctors like stop going to other doctors after the doctor retires.”

Ma Yanlin was rendered speechless. He argued subconsciously, “Boss Shao is different.”

“Oh, what’s so special about him?” Dobin laughed loudly. His breath reeked of booze. “What can possibly be special about a patient?”

“Boss Shao is special.” Ma Yanlin insisted.

“You must not have seen many special patients.” Dobin laughed louder, but the more he laughed, the more he panted, and his complexion gradually turned red.
