Chapter 1037
Chapter 1037: Chapter 1020: Seeking Help Chapter 1037: Chapter 1020: Seeking Help After returning home, Tang Yuxin threw herself directly onto the incredibly soft bed.
The temperature had risen only a few degrees from the night, so it should still be very comfortable for sleeping.
By noon, the temperature would rise further, making it a perfect time to play in the sea.
She pulled the quilt over herself, turned over, and quickly fell asleep.
She had no concerns in her mind — she had let everything go, which allowed her to fall asleep rapidly and, of course, very easily.
Meanwhile, at Beijing Hospital.
Director Zhu was sitting in his office chair, staring wide-eyed at the stack of medical cases piled high on his desk.
There had never been so many before; there must have been hundreds of them.
And hundreds of cases meant hundreds of surgeries.
All of them piling up here meant that, even if their doctors worked without rest, they would still be busy for half a year, not to mention that many of the surgeries were beyond the capabilities of other doctors.
All these surgeries were waiting for the same person — Tang Yuxin.
“Director, Director Zhao from the Third Hospital is here,” a nurse said as she knocked on Director Zhu’s office door.
“I know, let him in,” Director Zhu replied, still staring, dumbfounded, at the growing stack of medical cases.
He now understood why Tang Yuxin, although on leave, could never really take a break.

What else could the reason be?
If it were him, not to mention not resting, could he manage if a day were extended to forty hours?
Whether others were up to the task, he did not know, but he knew he certainly was not.
Soon after, Director Zhu heard a knock at the door.
Come in, the door’s not locked.
He sat up straight, but his shoulders slumped once again at the sight of the towering stack of cases.
Old age, greetings and well wishes.
The door opened, and a slightly overweight middle-aged man walked in, someone not much different in age from Director Zhu.
“Old Zhao, what a rare visitor you are,” Director Zhu stood up, and the two men shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.
But in the end, they probably forgot what they had even said to each other.
“Please, take a seat,” Director Zhu gestured to the seat opposite him, then went over to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water for Director Zhao.
“Thank you,” Director Zhao took the glass, gently blew on it, and started drinking, his hurried sips indicating he was indeed very thirsty.
Director Zhu and Director Zhao were college classmates.
Though they eventually worked in different departments and hospitals, they occasionally met at meetings and kept in touch frequently.
The two hospitals had also helped each other out on more than one occasion.
Now both of them were prominent figures, each serving as the head of their respective hospitals.
Naturally, their relationship had grown closer because sometimes they needed each other’s help for academic exchanges.
“What brings you to visit our main hospital when you’re so free?” Director Zhu sat down with a smile, asking Director Zhao.
It must have been quite some time since they last saw each other.
Zhao must be visiting for an important reason — as the saying goes, ‘a visitor comes with a purpose.’
Otherwise, busy with numerous daily affairs, how could they afford to spare the time just to come over for a chat?
Director Zhao took another glass, poured himself more water without waiting for Director Zhu, then came back and sat down, ready to engage in thorough negotiation with Director Zhu.
“Old Zhu, I actually do need a favor from you this time,” Director Zhao began.
“What is it?” Director Zhu laughed, “Given our relationship, let’s skip the formalities.
Just give me the word, and I’ll make sure everything is handled properly for you.”
“It’s nothing major,” Director Zhao took another sip from the glass, finishing the water before patting Director Zhu’s shoulder, “but now that you’ve said that, I feel relieved.”
He chuckled, “You know how our hospital is just a small one and can’t compare to your Beijing main hospital.
Your hospital’s reputation is well-known nationwide.
In recent years, you’ve been on an upward trajectory, which is not something regular hospitals can compete with.”
Director Zhu nodded.
Although it was a fact, he felt very pleased with the acknowledgement.
The main hospital had indeed gained a great reputation over the years.
They had been leading among other hospitals, and they were always the first to choose key talents.
They had access to the latest equipment and technologies from within the country and abroad and prioritized staff training.
Besides nurturing their many talents in-house, they had also attracted a group of excellent new talents, including many who graduated from overseas medical schools.
These were the achievements the main hospital had made in recent years, especially with their new medical building about to open soon, further enhancing their facilities.
The new building would offer state-of-the-art technology, materials on par with or even leading international standards.
The hospital’s progress in recent years was getting better and better, which was also a result of his insightful and powerful leadership, winning them many honors.
“Old Zhu, I won’t beat around the bush,” Director Zhao suddenly sighed, seemingly having made a decision.
“Alright, speak up,” Director Zhu was still smiling, feeling incredibly gratified after being praised.
If Director Zhao truly had a request, as long as it wasn’t unreasonable, he would agree to it.
Even if it was somewhat excessive, as long as it wasn’t asking too much, he might still agree.
If it was more difficult, he might not agree but would still try to help.
So, Director Zhu was in a very good mood, and when one is in a good mood, they tend to be more amenable.
As long as it’s not excessive, he likely wouldn’t refuse.
The situation is this, Director Zhao hesitated as he had a difficult matter to discuss.
You know the situation with our hospital.

In recent years, there has been no improvement, and our equipment is outdated.
These days, it’s as such: the more you achieve, the more you get.
But if you’re not up to par, it’s not just about being suppressed by rivals, even your own powerlessness comes to play.
The main hospital is doing well, thriving in recent years, and its reputation has grown.
By contrast, as the director of the Third Hospital, he feels bitterly stifled.
Having no other choice, he has come to seek help from Director Zhu.
