"Looking for a cargo truck, but havenât found one yet." Xie Wanying pondered whom to turn to. Usually, for non-medical issues, sheâd ask her childhood friend, but since the friend was in trouble, sheâd need to find someone else. The senior brothers and sisters arenât business people, so theyâre probably as clueless as she is about whom to ask.
"Let me think." Huang Zhilei clenched his hand into a fist and tapped his palm, inspiration gleaming in his glasses, and shortly thought of someone, "Maybe try asking that Cat Song."
Does Cat Song refer to Doctor Song? Senior Brother Huang loves calling Doctor Song a big lazy cat now.
"Rumor has it his dadâs a big company boss." Huang Zhilei confidently shared his idea, "His dadâs so rich, he could buy him a house with his eyes closed. Getting his dad to help find a cargo truck to move goods shouldnât be hard."
"Senior Brother." Xie Wanying shook her head, disagreeing with his naive idea, "Doctor Song doesnât like talking about his family matters. Itâs clear he doesnât want people associating him with his familyâs wealth; he just wants to be a good doctor. We shouldnât force him to get involved in such matters."
Itâs possible that Doctor Song had set strict boundaries at home, solely focusing on being a doctor and avoiding entanglements with the family business. In any case, Song Xueling never discussed his family with colleagues, and they must respect his feelings.
Huang Zhilei raised his eyebrows at her: "Junior sister, youâ"
You, obstinate as always, thinking of sparing that Cat Song at a time like this.
Asking for help shouldnât be about moral coercion or forcing someone. Otherwise, whatâs the difference from Sister Weng? Xie Wanying believed her childhood friend felt the same. Theyâre not entirely out of options yet; they can brainstorm until truly cornered.
Getting help from Cat Song isnât feasible; if not seeking a wealthy benefactor, inspiration struck Huang Zhilei again, "Iâve got another idea. We can mobilize everyone around us to buy the tea, let each household buy a box or several boxes for personal use or as gifts to friends and family. Anyway, tea lasts long. This way, no need for a cargo truck; all the stock could be sold." After expressing his plan, Huang Zhileiâs brow danced with pride, convinced this second idea would workâthereâs plenty of people with a sense of justice at the hospital.
Senior Brother Huang, youâXie Wanyingâs expression was complicated; sometimes Senior Caoâs calling him Little Fool had merit.
Before she could explain to her senior brother, a company employee came out waving, "This idea wonât work. Some goods here were pre-ordered with signed contracts, just waiting for handover."
Huh?! Huang Zhilei was dumbfounded immediately. Feeling a bit embarrassed in front of his junior sister, he stepped aside.
Heâs a neurosurgeon and doesnât know the ins and outs of business. Comparatively, Senior Cao understands better; before coming, he phoned around asking people who knew how to handle this.
Doctors arenât completely without connections to utilize. This incident happened too suddenly, requiring urgent action, catching everyone off guard. Questions of whom to ask or who can be asked just spun around everyoneâs minds.
Sun Rongfang warned her son, "Donât make trouble here, keep an eye on Duoduo, and act like a responsible elder."
With his elder brother present, Xie Youtian dared not stir up trouble, raising his eyebrows as he said to his mother, "I canât manage Duoduo; she cries if I talk to her."
"I donât like crying," Xiao Duoduo pouted back.
"Mom." Xie Youtian suggested to his mom and sister, "Letâs ask Brother Cao."
Xiao Duoduo chimed in, "How about asking Brother Pan instead?"
The two little ones are unaware that their brothers are doctors who donât really understand such matters.
