Zhao Wenkai thought Si Chen had understood his meaning and seemed pleased.
"Dr. Si, I think you are very promising. I know the dean of Renji Hospital. If you want to switch jobs, I can ensure that you’ll hold the title of Director within three to five years there," said Zhao Wenkai.
Zhao Wenkai didn’t beat around the bush, simply said a few sentences, and then said, "Dr. Si, hurry up and do the surgery! Do not feel pressured. We will arrange a time to talk about the specifics once you’re done with your work."
Si Chen glanced at Zhao Wenkai without any expression, then immediately turned and entered the Operating Room.
Zhao Wenkai didn’t have any problems with Si Chen’s attitude. He had dealt with many people who put on airs and acted obsequiously for the sake of fame and profit. No one would back down in front of these benefits.
Saving his uncle was not an easy task. On the contrary, causing him to have some accidents was just a matter of a few finger movements.
He saw that Si Chen was a smart man who would not fail to weigh the pros and cons.
Glancing at the closed doors of the Emergency Room, Zhao Wenkai turned and walked out.
The surgery would not be finished so quickly, so there was no need for him to stay.
"You said Uncle got into a car accident? How could he have gotten into an accident? How is he doing now?"
Upon hearing that Zhao Rongwei was in a car accident, Wang Chun was startled. Zhao Rongwei was in fine spirits and laughing just a few days ago when she saw him. Now, suddenly, he was fighting for his life in a hospital, which caught anyone off guard.
Zhao Rongwei was a smiling tiger. He was always very enthusiastic when he saw Wang Chun, always praising her as a good niece-in-law, and telling Zhao Wenkai to treat her well.
Setting aside the family business matters, Wang Chun actually liked this uncle.
Compared to Wang Chun’s shocked and anxious state, Zhao Wenkai was very calm, even with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "The situation is quite serious, and he’s likely not going to make it. I’ll take you to the hospital to see him, to pay our last respects. It would be our way of repaying his false kindness towards you."
Wang Chun: "..."
Zhao Wenkai always told her in front of her that Uncle was not a good person, that his kindness towards her was all pretense. He told her not to easily believe Uncle’s words, and not to develop feelings for them. Wang Chun knew they were scheming behind the scenes, so she didn’t think Zhao Wenkai was wrong.
However, now with a life hanging in the balance, Zhao Wenkai’s indifference struck her as somewhat incomprehensible.
It seemed that since her father-in-law passed away, Zhao Wenkai had become indifferent towards everyone else except her.
Zhao Wenkai noticed Wang Chun’s puzzled look but didn’t explain much. By the time they got to the hospital, the operation had not yet ended.
Only after arriving at the hospital did Wang Chun realize that her uncle had been sent to the hospital where Si Chen worked.
Considering her uncle was in the hospital and they probably couldn’t keep their dinner appointment that night, Wang Chun said,
"Akai, now that Uncle’s had an accident, we certainly won’t be able to meet Yaoyao tonight. It just so happens that Yaoyao’s husband works at this hospital. Let me go to the family waiting area and give Yaoyao a heads up!"
No matter what kind of backstabbing was going on between Zhao Wenkai and Zhao Rongwei, they still needed to keep up appearances.
Before Uncle woke up, they should both stay at the hospital. Leaving to dine with friends would be inappropriate.
Zhao Wenkai squinted slightly, "What’s Tong Yao’s husband’s name?"
"His name is Si Chen," Wang Chun said.
Zhao Wenkai chuckled softly and murmured, "It’s unbelievable how coincidental things can be."
He hadn’t expected that the person he’d run into today would turn out to be Tong Yao’s husband. It seemed as if the heavens were helping him.
