Chapter 247: Medicine isn’t candy

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

The Spring Festival was almost here. All across China, the weather started warming up. However, things were different in Chasu City. The temperature was still quite cold here. Although the snow here wasn’t at the level of blizzards, there was still significant snow.

Although there was a lot of snowfall, that wouldn’t stop people from wanting to celebrate, as the Spring Festival was the largest holiday in China. The entire road in front of Chasu City Hospital’s entrance was now filled with stalls selling various things. This was also a local custom. Normally, if you opened up a stall here, even if you were only trying to sell yams, city officials would instantly chase you away.

There were also many meetings in Chasu City. Many business owners would gather at Chasu City as it was the largest city in the area with jurisdiction over the other cities. Over the recent years, European and American culture had invaded Chinese culture severely, shattering much of Chinese culture. To give a simple example, it was now common that only eating a meal together for a business meeting wouldn’t be enough. They would also go to a sex salon together afterwards.

However, it was normal that the business owners would be older. Sometimes, they wouldn’t be able to perform as they wanted at the sex salon. In the past few years, they would use various mystical medicines and oils from India as male performance enhancing drugs. However, those Indian medicines were really damaging the body and would make you dependent on them. Additionally, using the Indian medicine too much would make the penis completely useless in the end.

Yet, things suddenly became miraculous when a heart medication was discovered to also be a good male performance enhancing drug. News of this swiftly spread everywhere. Of course, no average person would be able to afford this.

Back when this drug was only a heart medication, its price was only 10 yuan for a single tablet. Of course, that was really cheap. But the moment that the heart medication underwent rebranding as a male performance enhancing drug, since this particular drug had minimal side effects and wasn’t addictive, its price suddenly skyrocketed. One tablet of this medicine from Europe or America would now cost 300-400 yuan.

There were many, many Chinese business owners who were so pudgy that they wouldn’t even be able to see their own penis anymore. For them, this new medication was just like a lifesaver. It soon became popular in China. They were wealthy and wanted to indulge in lust, but their bodies were getting old and weak, so they hadn’t been able to indulge as they wanted. This miracle drug called sildenafil citrate, commonly known as Viagra, had now arrived in China. Viagra had been invented for use as a cardiovascular drug. But, how many people really used it as a heart medication now? Viagra became immensely popular in China. Those without power and influence weren’t even able to purchase real Viagra. The Chinese market became flooded with countless counterfeit Viagra products.

Since it was around the time of the Spring Festival, the business owners started relaxing themselves in indulgence after working hard for the year. Wang Congzhong was a man from Fujian Province who had moved to the border province in order to find work. He was smart, hardworking, perceptive, and generous to others. One year, he suddenly managed to become really rich.

He owned a chain supermarket that opened up many stores in Chasu City. Since he managed them well with good techniques, he even gave W Mall, the biggest luxury mall in Chasu City, quite a hard time. That wasn’t all that Wang Congzhong did. He even entered the driving school industry. He had immense capital to back him up, which helped him to successfully monopolize the entire driving school market in the border province.

Someone as rich as him would be no ordinary business owner. He could basically get anything that he wanted. However, when it came to age and your body, such things wouldn’t care how rich or powerful you were. If your body didn’t want to work, then it simply wouldn’t.

Wang Congzhong was a sex addict. It could be said that Viagra had saved his favorite and only hobby. His female personal secretary (who was his mistress) became more and more obedient, and his wife and other mistresses were happier with his performance as well. Wang Congzhong felt that he truly was successful in life. He indulged himself by having sex on a daily basis. It should also be mentioned that his fetish was to do it with several women at once.

Since it was around the Spring Festival, Wang Congzhong needed to invite others for a meal, alcohol, and sex salon afterwards. He hadn’t gone to a sex salon for many years already due to his member’s previously declining performance. Since he currently had many mistresses, he was using a great deal of Viagra.

Since Wang Congzhong was partying for the Spring Festival and drank some alcohol, he decided to take four tablets of Viagra at once. After that, in the middle of having sex, something suddenly happened. His heart started beating rapidly and he had breathing difficulties.

The women he was with were really scared by this. Although these sex workers had seen many strange things before from their customers, they had never seen a customer who had suddenly collapsed on them. Wang Congzhong’s face was now bright red and going pale due to breathing difficulties. His lips were completely pale, and he was gasping for air. Was this really the same man who had been like a tiger in bed with them?

“Help!” The women’s screams echoed throughout the high-class hotel that they were in.

Wang Congzhong was lifted up into the ambulance completely naked without even sparing time to put clothes on him, with only a bath towel to cover him. The high-class hotel’s manager was so scared by what happened that he went pale as well. Even though he also had connections that had helped him to obtain his position of hotel manager at a high-class hotel, such a major incident occurring at the hotel would likely be blamed on him, especially if the major personage died. The hotel manager knew that he would likely be fired and kicked out before the Spring Festival was even over if Wang Congzhong died!

The business owner Wang Congzhong wasn’t a simple man at all. He had bank loans totaling several hundred million yuan. Even selling all of his businesses wouldn’t be enough to repay the bank loans. With his collapse, even if others didn’t care, the various banks’ bank managers instantly started panicking. Within just 30 minutes, many Audis and other high-class cars arrived at Chasu City Hospital’s parking lot.

Although Zhang Fan was no longer a member of the proctology department, he had a good relationship with Chen Yan. Tonight, Chen Yan’s cousin was feeling a bit uncomfortable, so Chen Yan called Zhang Fan.

When Zhang Fan heard this, he would go over instantly no matter how busy he was. This was a surgery that he had performed. He was the type to take responsibility to the end.

“Yan, it’s fine. It’s just some slight inflammation around the artificial passage. I’ll tell the others about it. This can be solved by changing the medicine more often.”

“Thank you. I’m so sorry to call you over late at night.”

“It’s fine. No need to be polite with me. Just look at how you’re withering from anxiety. Pay attention to getting rest. I’ll be leaving now. Call me if there’s anything. No need to feel awkward about it,” Zhang Fan told her.

“Okay! I’ll see you off!” Chen Yan walked Zhang Fan over to the main hallway.

“You should go back inside! It’s cold outside, and you’re not wearing much. Don’t catch a cold.” After Chen Yan went back inside the cardiology department, Zhang Fan started walking to the parking lot to his car. But, when he walked past the emergency department, he saw cardiology department director Ren Li.

“Director Ren, what’s the matter?” Since Zhang Fan had borrowed money from her, he would speak humbly. He felt that he owed her. Since the cardiology director was here at the emergency department, it was obvious that there was only one thing she could be doing.

“Ah, Zhang Fan. Perfect. Hurry and change into surgical attire. There’s a patient who’s almost here. Superintendent Ouyang is coming as well and almost here. Apparently, it’s a patient with rather special status.”

“Okay!” Zhang Fan swiftly went to go change his clothes. Since Director Ren was asking him, then he would definitely help out. He was also curious what type of patient would be coming in today.

Originally, Superintendent Ouyang wouldn’t care even about a powerful businessman who needed to be hospitalized at Chasu City Hospital, unless the businessman had a personal connection with her. However, Wang Congzhong was far too powerful. Even as he was on his way in the ambulance, the major banks’ managers immediately reported things to their higher-ups, and then the banks’ higher-ups used their own connections. Thus, Superintendent Ouyang was forced to come over to the hospital at nighttime from her home.

Ever since Ouyang Hong’s promotion to superintendent, she was now too busy to deal with her previous expertise (cardiology) as she had to manage the entire hospital. Thus, usually she would take command while the directors did the work. When Zhang Fan finished changing into surgical attire, whoa, he saw that the cardiology director, cardiothoracic director, and ICU director were all here.

Not long after, Superintendent Ouyang arrived as well. She glanced at Zhang Fan, but ignored him. Zhang Fan knew that she was still angry at him, so he didn’t go up to greet her.

“Let me explain the situation to you all. A business owner from our city used too much male performance enhancing medication, which has caused him to have breathing difficulties. He’s currently in an ambulance on the way to our hospital. The higher-ups notified us that we must save his life no matter what, so everyone...” Superintendent Ouyang was unable to continue because she felt that this business owner was a bastard who got what he deserved.

Not all orders would be carried out with great motivation and faithfulness. If today’s patient had instead been a hero who had gotten injured for the sake of rescuing others, then Superintendent Ouyang wouldn’t even have needed to give a speech to motivate her subordinate doctors. But, how was she supposed to motivate everyone in this current situation?

The directors were all veteran doctors. They immediately understood the situation. Superintendent Ouyang was unable to speak up and tell them what to do due to the ridiculousness of Wang Congzhong’s problem. After hesitating for more then 10 seconds, she finally said, “No matter what, we’re doctors, and this is a hospital. I must emphasize that no matter who the patient is, or what problem they have, we must try our best to save them. This is our job and responsibility.”

After saying that, even Superintendent Ouyang herself felt that what she was saying was rather meaningless. She then simply stood at the entrance of the emergency department and waited for the patient’s arrival.

Zhang Fan did his best to stand behind the others. He didn’t want to get scolded by Superintendent Ouyang again while she was still angry at him. Zhang Fan was now someone who had enough of a reputation to want to save face.

The ambulance arrived with its wailing sirens and lights on.

The moment that the ambulance door opened, the ambulance’s nurse and emergency doctor immediately pushed out the patient on a gurney. At this moment, due to wheeling down the ambulance on an incline, the bath towel covering the naked Wang Congzhong suddenly fell off!

“Sss!” Superintendent Ouyang inhaled a cold breath while gritting her teeth so hard that they hurt.
