Chapter 727: Chapter 728: Satisfying Your Curiosity
Shui Qingyue finally turned around and came over, saying, "You gave me a fright, I thought you guys were..."
Su Yuya spat at Shui Qingyue, now back to her normal self, and said, "You really have an imagination. Iâm already in my forties, and the Family Head is in the prime of his youth. How could he fancy an old woman like me? That would mean the men in your family have really poor taste."
Shui Qingyue felt a bit embarrassed by Su Yuyaâs words and hurriedly said, "Auntie, how can you call yourself old? You look so young. If you walked with Xuanxuan, people would definitely think you were sisters."
Su Yuya giggled and said, "I do love hearing that, but itâs no use. The Family Head just said that I would age more easily than other women, and Iâm afraid in a few more years, Iâll become an old lady."
At that moment, Song Xiaodongâs hand was still moving over Su Yuyaâs belly, his brow furrowed as he said, "Strange, strange..."
"Whatâs strange?" asked Su Yuya, her relaxed expression vanishing all at once.
Shui Qingyue also asked anxiously, "Whatâs wrong with the auntie?"
Song Xiaodong said, "Auntieâs uterus has a strange form of True Qi in it. This True Qi is extremely xenophobic. My True Qi wants to go in to check, but it just canât get through. This must be the cause of your infertility, Auntie. Hasnât anyone who understands True Qi ever examined you before?"
Su Yuya replied, "No, Iâve never felt anything unusual with my body. After a year of not getting pregnant, I went to hospitals specializing in this area, and Iâve seen all the experts, whether in Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine. Basically, none of them found anything wrong with me, but I still canât conceive."
Song Xiaodong said, "No wonder, then. If someone who knew True Qi had checked earlier, they probably would have found the problem."
Rolling her eyes, Su Yuya said, "Who would have thought that this could be the reason I canât have children," and then quickly asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Song Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, then said, "This is the first time Iâve encountered something like this, so I really need to think about it."
Su Yuya sat up and pulled down her clothes, asking, "Does this problem have any impact on me?"
Song Xiaodong replied, "There shouldnât be any impact. Besides, I feel that this type of True Qi might actually be good for you. My initial judgement was probably wrong."
"Ha, if itâs beneficial, then why bother treating it? I donât want to have kids anyway, and besides, thereâs no one for me to have kids with right now, is there?" Su Yuya suddenly felt relieved.
Song Xiaodong quickly said, "Thatâs just a temporary guess. Donât take it lightly. When you have time in the future, let me examine it. That way, we can have a better idea. And honestly, Iâm really curious about this kind of True Qi."
With a light laugh, Su Yuya said, "Alright, just to satisfy your curiosity, Iâll cooperate with you whenever you want to check."
In the following days, Song Xiaodong was indeed very busy. He met leaders from various levels in the province and city. As the new Family Head of the Su Family, the leaders all showed significant attention to him. The Su Family itself had certain influence in the political arena, and coupled with their massive business empire, this was very important for the development of the province and city, so nobody dared take them lightly.
Then there were matters related to the hospital, which Song Xiaodong valued heavily as part of the Su Family business, mainly because he himself was a doctor and felt a deep aversion to some of the corruption in the medical field. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to make good use of it.
Furthermore, Lin Suâer was there, and he subconsciously wanted to support the causes his woman was passionate about.
He Wenbai came over, bringing his own students with him, as well as Xiang Te and Ellington. After witnessing Song Xiaodongâs capabilities on their last visit, they held Song Xiaodong in high regard and had developed a keen interest in the miraculous medical skill of Traditional Chinese Medicine. They had just been in touch with He Wenbai, and upon hearing about Song Xiaodongâs matters, they scrambled over immediately.
Although He Wenbai was now a highly skilled doctor, in terms of influence, he definitely couldnât compare to Xiang Te and Ellington, who had considerable prestige internationally. In any hospital, just having these twoâs names attached could elevate the entire hospitalâs level by a great deal.
Director Qian had no objections to the reforms proposed by Lin Suâer; however, he was quite worried. His main concern was the potential outflow of doctors. After all, in the medical industry, doctors could earn a lot of money in any hospital. If there were no kickbacks here, they could easily switch to another job.
But with Xiang Te and Ellington as major draws, whether other doctors in the hospital stayed or left became less important. There was suddenly not much resistance to implementing Song Xiaodong and Lin Suâerâs ideas.
A couple of days after these people arrived, Lin Yi also came. Although he hadnât interacted much with Song Xiaodong, he had almost become Song Xiaodongâs disciple. With Song Xiaodong involved in something, he naturally wanted to come and offer his support, and he could also take the opportunity to advance his own medical skills here.
The hospital was ready to go, but its reputation still needed to be established. Relying solely on word-of-mouth from patients was comparatively slow, so they needed Reporter Shenâs news coverage for publicity. However, Shen Ruoqing had been unusually quiet these past two days.
Lin Suâer called Shen Ruoqing to inquire, and Shen Ruoqing said her article had already been submitted but was stalled with the editor. She would push for the article to be released in the next few days.
However, Lin Suâer could sense Shen Ruoqingâs feeble and helpless tone during the conversation.
Lin Suâer then called Song Xiaodong, saying, "Brother Dongzi, letâs go see Reporter Shen today. I feel like sheâs facing some big difficulties."
"Alright, letâs wait for her outside her office when she gets off work and have a chat."
"Sure."
Once they agreed, Song Xiaodong joined Lin Suâer in her car and they arrived at the TV station entrance just after five oâclock.
Lin Suâerâs car was an ordinary Passat, provided by the hospital, so they wouldnât draw too much attention when commuting to and from work. The cars at the Su Family Courtyard were too distinctiveâanyone with a bit of knowledge about the Su Family would recognize them.
The Su Family conducted themselves in such a way in the past to assert their status, but in ordinary circumstances, Song Xiaodong preferred not to be so conspicuous. Such attention was a burden he didnât enjoy being constantly under.
No sooner had they parked the car, Lin Suâer pointed to two people ahead and said, "That old lady looks like the Wang Familyâs matriarch."
Song Xiaodong also recognized her immediatelyâit was Shen Ruoqingâs daughterâs grandmother. What was that old lady doing at the TV station?
