Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 713 - 712: Should We Force Director Ge to Go?
Feng Yaping saw the shocked expression on Director Wang's face, smiled knowingly, and thought to herself, if he knew that the young man before him was also Elder Feng's junior fellow and held a deputy-ministerial title, she wondered what his expression would be.
Since Sang Yunlong knew that Ge Dongxu was Elder Feng's junior fellow, Feng Yaping naturally knew as well.
"Director Ge, this is Director Wang from our provincial health department." Thinking this, Feng Yaping had already stood up to greet Ge Dongxu, and then helped with the introductions.
"Hello, Director Wang," Ge Dongxu said, smiling as he extended his hand to Director Wang.
"Oh, hello Director Ge," Director Wang, realizing Ge Dongxu was extending his hand to him, suddenly snapped back to reality, hastily shook hands with him, and didn't dare act haughty as a director.
"I wonder what business Director Wang and President Feng have with me?" Ge Dongxu asked with a smile after shaking hands with Director Wang.
Upon hearing this, Director Wang looked towards President Feng, who then slightly smiled and said, "Director Wang, since you are the head of healthcare, you take the lead."
Then, with a smile, Director Wang said to Ge Dongxu, "The thing is, Director Ge, the King of Reel Country, Gustadin, has been feeling unwell recently. He summoned our Embassy's ambassador in Reel Country, wishing to invite you to Goosemoor to check on him and adjust his health. Here I want to congratulate you, Director Ge, on being chosen by King Gustadin…"
"Is that all? Please tell the ambassador in the Reel Country that I refuse to make the visit!" Ge Dongxu interrupted Director Wang before he could finish, his face darkened undoubtedly, and he waved his hand decisively.
King Gustadin of Reel Country had approached Huaxia Country's ambassador in Reel Country, how could Ge Dongxu not understand his intentions?
It was an attempt to pressure him through official channels!
And that was precisely what Ge Dongxu disliked the most!
"Ah, refuse? But Director Ge, that is the King of Reel Country, and he mentioned that the moment you agree to go to Goosemoor, he will immediately pay you one million Riel Currency, which is five million RMB. Moreover, if you manage to improve his health, he said he would pay you one hundred million Riel Currency afterwards, one hundred million—just think about…" Director Wang never imagined that Ge Dongxu would refuse such a lucrative and honor-benefiting offer; he was stiff with shock for a while before speaking almost frantically.
"I'm not interested in these offers. Whoever is interested can go; I certainly won't." Ge Dongxu interrupted again.
"You, what kind of attitude is this? This is an order from above, you have to go, even if you don't want to, it's a mission, it's an order!" Director Wang, seeing Ge Dongxu interrupt him once more with a firm attitude, finally completely lost his temper, forgetting what Feng Yaping had previously advised.
"Is that so? So you say I don't even have the right to choose?" Ge Dongxu's face suddenly turned grim.
"No…" Director Wang blurted out.
"Director Wang!" But before Director Wang could finish saying the word "wrong", Feng Yaping interjected in a timely manner.
"Director Ge, Director Wang didn't mean that. Since this matter involves diplomacy between the two countries, so…" Feng Yaping stopped Director Wang and then gave a bitter smile as she spoke to Ge Dongxu.
"I had already informed King Gustadin through Johnson that I would not make a house call. So, his next steps could be either to find someone more capable or to come to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital himself and queue up like an ordinary person to register for my student's clinic, where I might or might not personally intervene, as I am not a clinic doctor. All of this would depend on his luck, for there is no difference between a king and common folk in my eyes! Now, he is sending an invitation through the Embassy – does President Feng not understand what this means? Do you really think just because he is a king, I should treat him? Excuse me, I still need to supervise my students in consulting patients, goodbye."
Ge Dongxu waved his hand to interrupt Feng Yaping and, having said that, turned and left the director's office immediately.
"This, this Ge Dongxu, is really, really too arrogant, too, too..." Director Wang said, seeing Ge Dongxu's defiant attitude to this extent, not even sparing a glance for the king or their leadership; watching Ge Dongxu turn and walk away, his face turned ashen with anger and he cursed loudly.
"Director Wang, please leave my office! My office does not welcome people like you!" Tang Yiyuan, seeing Director Wang insulting his mentor right in front of him, immediately frowned, pointed at the door, and coldly said without the slightest politeness.
After all, Ge Dongxu was his current teacher; how could Tang Yiyuan remain indifferent while Director Wang berated his teacher?
"Tang Yiyuan, what kind of attitude is this! Don't think that just because you've been recognized as a National Medical Master and you think you're a shareholder of Qinghe Herbal Tea, you can..." Director Wang was somewhat beside himself with anger when he saw Tang Yiyuan asking him to leave, growing even more livid.
"Director Wang, hold your tongue! Haven't I told you to be more polite to Director Ge?" Feng Yaping quickly interjected as Director Wang started berating Tang Yiyuan.
"But President Feng, look at his attitude! Can a king and a commoner be the same? Moreover, this is an order from the State Council! Is he, a mere doctor of traditional medicine, in a position to refuse it?" Director Wang, having been addressed by Feng Yaping, naturally did not dare to lash out at her, but instead spoke with a pained expression.
"Director Wang, you don't understand Director Ge; in his eyes, a king and a commoner are indeed the same. I wasn't aware that Director Ge had already refused King Gustadin; had I known this earlier, I wouldn't have come with you to see him," Feng Yaping said with a bitter smile.
"But..." Director Wang was startled by these words and hesitated before speaking again.
"Enough, Director Wang, you needn't concern yourself with this matter anymore. I will inform Governor Sang and ask him to communicate with the State Council on this," Feng Yaping said, gesturing with her hand to cut him off.
Upon hearing this, Director Wang's mouth fell open, and he was unable to regain his composure for a long time. He was utterly shocked beyond words.
He had never expected Ge Dongxu to refuse an invitation from a king of a developed European country, and instead of being as annoyed as he was, Feng Yaping was actually planning to report this to Governor Sang. Furthermore, from President Feng's intentions, it seemed she was even preparing to have Governor Sang intervene with the capital to dismiss this matter.
"You mean to refuse King Gustadin's invitation?" After a long time, Director Wang asked in a somewhat dazed tone.
This matter was simply too bewildering. Even though he clearly understood her intentions from President Feng's words, Director Wang still couldn't believe it.
"What else can we do if not refuse? Are we supposed to force Director Ge to go?" Feng Yaping looked at Director Wang with annoyance.
She too was frustrated!
Director Wang might not be aware of Ge Dongxu's status and medical skills, but she was well aware of them.
If he wanted to refuse, not just her, but even Governor Sang would have absolutely no way to force him.
