Chapter 604 Foolish and Rich? Take me with you!
The middle-aged man with glasses squinted and curled his lips:
"Fine, then don't blame me for not warning you—forget about your salary this month, and all the seniority bonuses you've accumulated are forfeited."
"Furthermore, if you dare to leave today, your names will be blacklisted tomorrow, and you'll never be allowed into any medical institution again."
Lin Feng, who was standing next to him, suddenly chuckled and said slowly, "We could open our own hospital too."
The middle-aged man with glasses paused for a moment, then looked Lin Feng up and down, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt:
"You? A human being? Running a hospital? Hah, do you know how much it costs to open a hospital..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
Lin Feng suddenly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread open, palm facing down, as if he was about to grab something.
The next second, a stack of banknotes appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The neatly arranged 10,000 ghost coins, tied with a bank paper strip, landed on the table with a heavy thud.
Then another stack.
Another stack.
Lin Feng moved slowly and deliberately, pulling out stacks of fruit one after another, as easily as picking fruit from thin air.
Soon, a small tower was built on the desk, with stacks of strange coins neatly arranged, reaching a height of more than a meter.
The middle-aged man with glasses slowly opened his mouth.
His gaze slowly slid from the top of the money tower to its bottom, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
"Big...big shot..."
He snapped out of his daze, hurriedly pulled open a drawer, pulled out a business card, and handed it to Lin Feng with both hands, his back unconsciously bending down.
"I've worked in the personnel department for over ten years, and I know all the procedures inside and out."
"If you were to open a hospital, I'd be familiar with everything: hiring, background checks, salary structures, staffing records... I'd switch jobs and work for you!"
The business card hangs in mid-air.
Lin Feng glanced down at the card, a faint smile still playing on his lips, but he didn't reach out to take it.
"Excuse me," Lin Feng said, slowly and deliberately putting the stacks of money back into his storage space. "We're full."
The smile on the middle-aged man's face froze.
He paused for two seconds, still holding the business card, before awkwardly withdrawing his hand and clearing his throat.
"Well...that's a shame. But we can still be friends, right?"
He turned around and sat back in his chair, his attitude much softer than before, and pulled out a stack of forms and pushed them onto the edge of the table.
"I'll process your resignation procedures right away. However, according to hospital regulations, this month's salary will still be deducted, and I can't make that decision on my own..."
Su Wan nodded: "Okay, deduct it then."
She turned to the side and looked at the few people from the temporary management department behind her.
"Don't worry, I'll make up for your wages this month, five times the amount."
There was a half-second silence.
Aying was the first to jump up, grabbing Aque's neck and screaming.
Xiao Ren clenched his fists, his lips trembling as he couldn't speak.
Kobayashi pushed up his glasses, a wide smile that he couldn't suppress.
Old Zhou stood at the very back, muttering, "This is even more exciting than a feel-good drama," but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
The middle-aged man with glasses stared at Su Wan, his lips moving slightly, his pupils reflecting the tower of banknotes that Lin Feng was retrieving into his spatial storage one stack at a time.
His mind raced.
A human being.
A small mountain of strange coins appeared out of nowhere—not a loan, not a transfer, but real cash, the kind of paper money that makes a dull thud when it hits the table.
In this day and age, who in the ghost market isn't tightening their belt to make ends meet?
Humans who can pull out so much cash in one go... are either canaries kept by some powerful force, or nouveau riche with a not-so-bright mind.
But no matter which one it is—it's a fucking gold mine.
The middle-aged man with glasses slid his gaze from Lin Feng to Su Wan, and suddenly he understood everything.
No wonder Su Wan was so tough today; no wonder she didn't even want this month's salary or the year-end bonus.
So it turns out they've hooked up with this... foolish, rich, and gullible human.
His Adam's apple bobbed again, and the beads on his mental abacus rattled off incessantly.
The people Su Wan had under her control: Xiao Ren, A Ying, A Que, Xiao Lin, and Lao Zhou—
To put it bluntly, they're just a bunch of lowly staff in the temporary management department. Even the most senior one, Lao Zhou, has only been there for ten years. Who does he think he is?
What kind of trouble can Su Wan cause if she jumps out with this group?
But she has this person.
This human being.
This living god of wealth can casually hand out money.
The bespectacled man thought about it more and more clearly: Su Wan probably figured out this man's nature—generous and easily fooled—and coaxed him into spending money to build a hospital.
When Su Wan becomes the dean, this group of people will be assigned key positions, but what about me?
He spent thirteen years in the personnel department, doing all the hard and tiring work, but he was never eligible for a promotion.
No, he has to squeeze in.
The bespectacled man suddenly came to his senses and rushed to Su Wan in three quick steps.
He hunched slightly, his face plastered with the obsequious smile he had practiced a thousand times to use on his superiors, and his voice was low and urgent:
"Section Chief Su, may I speak to you in private?"
Without waiting for Su Wan's reply, he turned sideways and led her two steps towards the corner, glancing back at Lin Feng with a fawning nod.
"Please have a seat, sir."
When he reached the corner, he almost spoke in a whisper:
"Section Chief Su, your move today was brilliant, truly brilliant."
He gave a thumbs up, but his eyes kept glancing at Lin Feng, and he lowered his voice even further:
"Where did you find this human? This style, this ambition, I've never seen anything like it in my thirteen years in the personnel department. You opening a hospital with him is a done deal."
He swallowed hard, and spoke even faster:
"Listen to me—of the people you brought, Xiao Ren is young and inexperienced, A Ying and A Que are just two errand runners, Xiao Lin is weak and can't hold her own, and Lao Zhou has a few years of experience, but does he understand personnel procedures? Does he understand the salary system? Does he understand how to compete with the Health Commission in terms of staffing and filing?"
He patted his chest, and the eyes behind his glasses almost shone:
"I know all of this by heart, Section Chief Su! Thirteen years, a complete cycle, I could do it with my eyes closed."
"Take me with you, and I'll handle everything: recruitment, background checks, job assignments, performance evaluations, labor disputes..."
"You can relax and focus on being the dean."
He spoke with increasing fervor, his voice even trembling slightly:
"I don't need much, just the same salary as now will do. Look at how hard I've worked all these years..."
Su Wan looked at him quietly.
That gaze made the bespectacled man's voice gradually lower.
"Section Chief Zhou," Su Wan said, her voice low, just loud enough for the two of them to hear, "you held up Aying's application for permanent employment for four months last year, just because she didn't give you her seat in the cafeteria."
"The year before last, Xiaolin's father was hospitalized and wanted to take three days of personal leave, but you refused to grant it and forced her to write a self-criticism before letting him go. And last month—"
The man with glasses' expression changed.
"Last month, a nurse in the emergency department applied for a transfer, citing 'long-term night shifts causing myocardial ischemia' as the reason. You rejected it, saying, 'Young people shouldn't be so delicate.'"
"Later, the nurse fainted in the duty room. The hospital didn't investigate the matter, but I know about it."
Su Wan paused here.
"Do you think that by bringing you along, I'm either inviting a Buddha statue or planting a time bomb?"
