The bald man spoke in a way that both pleased the other party and flaunted his own power. It was obvious that he cared very much about this woman.
As they talked, the two had already walked in and immediately saw Lin Fan.
"Who is he?" The woman frowned and asked. This person in front of her was dressed in cheap clothes, clearly a poor man. How could he be in a VIP suite?
The middle-aged manâs face sank as he stared at the nurse: "Didnât I ask you to tell him to switch rooms? Why is he still here?"
The nurse was a bit flustered: "Dean Chen, I was just about to ask him to check out, and then you came."
This bald man was the hospitalâs vice president, named Chen Zhenfeng.
"This room was reserved by me. May I ask where you want me to move to?" Lin Fan chuckled and said.
If Chen Zhenfeng had a better attitude, Lin Fan might agree to switch rooms. But seeing Chen Zhenfeng acting so arrogantly, Lin Fan really didnât intend to change.
Chen Zhenfeng asked the nurse, "Are there any more VIP rooms available? Arrange one for him, please."
The nurse said, "Iâm sorry, all VIP rooms are fully booked. There are only regular rooms left."
Chen Zhenfeng responded, "Oh, then thereâs no option. Youâll have to move to a regular room."
Making Lin Fan switch rooms was one thing, but moving to a regular room seemed unfair.
Ring ring ring...
At this moment, Lin Fanâs phone rang. It was Su Jinjin calling.
"Lin Fan, where are you? Iâve finished my checkup and canât find you," Su Jinjin said.
Lin Fan replied, "Iâm in the VIP suite, having a bit of trouble..."
Lin Fan gave the address to Su Jinjin, and then hung up the phone.
Lin Fan turned to Chen Zhenfeng and calmly said, "Iâm sorry, but this room was reserved by me. I donât plan to change it. Do as you please."
The woman glanced at Chen Zhenfeng, frowning, "Cousin, whatâs going on?"
Chen Zhenfeng wanted to show off in front of his cousin, but Lin Fan was ruining it, making him furious.
"This room was originally reserved by me; itâs just that the nurse made a mistake. Itâs reasonable to ask you to check out now," Chen Zhenfeng said.
Lin Fan replied, "Proof?"
Chen Zhenfeng scoffed, "I am the vice president. My word is the proof. Do you have any doubts?"
Lin Fan said, "Even if what you say is true, it would still be your hospitalâs mistake. Why should I bear the consequences? This room was reserved by me, and I will not change it."
Chen Zhenfeng was infuriated. Initially, to please his cousin, he planned to arrange a VIP suite for her, but there were only five suites in total at the hospital, all occupied. The patients in the other four rooms either were wealthy or had status, and he couldnât afford to offend them. He thought this room, supposedly reserved by a rural person, would be easy to deal with, so he demanded a switch. However, it turned out to be a tough nut like Lin Fan, who wouldnât give him, a vice president, any face.
"Kid, donât refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Iâve seen Lin Daweiâs medical records. His liver disease is severe. Only Dr. Guo, our hospitalâs liver disease expert, can save him. With just one word from me, he wonât even get into this hospital. You better think it over!" Chen Zhenfeng said coldly.
Threats, blatant threats!
Lin Fan sneered, "Dean Chen, do you realize that your words just now have violated your ethics as a doctor? Does your director agree with what youâre saying?"
Chen Zhenfeng snorted, "The director doesnât have time to deal with such small matters. I am in charge here. You can try and see if the director bothers with you! You can also go through the complaint channels, but that would delay Lin Daweiâs illness. Weigh the pros and cons yourself."
With a sense of assuredness of authority, Chen Zhenfeng was not afraid to make direct threats, confident that Lin Fan couldnât do anything to him.
Lin Fan chuckled, "Fine, Iâll go talk to your director about it!"
Everyone broke into a sweat; this kid was really stubborn!
Chen Zhenfeng shouted sternly, "You ungrateful kid, itâs not your place to be arrogant! Iâll say it again: vacate the room immediately, or Iâll call security and kick you out for disrupting hospital order!"
Chen Zhenfeng was truly exasperated. If he couldnât handle this kid in front of his cousin, it would be extremely embarrassing.
Lin Fan simply sat down and said, "Alright, letâs see if your security can get me out."
Chen Zhenfeng was fuming and turned to the nurse, yelling, "Call security for me!"
The situation was getting out of hand.
"Whatâs happening here? This is a hospital ward; why all the noise and chaos?"
A voice came from behind, and an elderly man with his hands behind his back walked in from outside.
The elder, who was in his sixties, had white hair slicked back and looked quite vigorous and well-maintained.
Alongside the elder was Su Jinjin.
Seeing this elder, Chen Zhenfeng immediately put on a flattering smile, "Director, what brings you here?"
Lin Fan was taken aback. Wasnât this elder the one from the restaurant earlier who couldnât pacify his grandson?
Was he actually the hospitalâs director?
Su Jinjin said, "I ran into the gentleman in the hallway earlier, and he said he wanted to come thank you more formally. I had no idea he was the director here."
The elder was delighted to see Lin Fan and smiled, "Mr. Lin, if it werenât for you this afternoon, I wouldnât have known what to do. I am Zhou Nanhua, the director here."
Zhou Nanhuaâs grandson lived far away with his parents, and Zhou Nanhua finally got to see him. He had even prepared gifts for his grandson, but the situation almost got out of control.
Lin Fan had salvaged the situation, helping calm the grandson and even teaching him to build with blocks. Later, they ended up having a great time, creating a precious yet short-lived happy moment.
If it hadnât been for Lin Fan, the rare meeting could have turned disastrous. Hence, upon accidentally bumping into Su Jinjin, Zhou Nanhua insisted on personally thanking Lin Fan once more.
Lin Fan smiled, "Oh, youâre too polite, sir. So youâre the director. I was actually looking for you. This room was reserved by me, yet this vice president is forcefully trying to make us vacate it."
Zhou Nanhua acknowledged the situation, glancing at Chen Zhenfeng with seriousness in his tone, "Is there such a thing?"
Chen Zhenfeng defended himself, "Director, hereâs the situation. I initially reserved this room, but the nurse made a mistake and gave it to him. But they refuse to switch."
Zhou Nanhua said, "Old Chen, Mr. Lin here is my friend. As a favor to me, please yield this room to Mr. Lin."
Chen Zhenfeng quickly responded, "But, it was me who reserved it first..."
Hearing this, Lin Fan was displeased. Zhou Nanhua wanted to thank him, so he was trying to help him secure the VIP room, but it sounded like he was taking advantage of Chen Zhenfeng.
Lin Fan said, "Sir, I donât need him to yield the room. When I booked it, the nurse didnât indicate it was already reserved. Thus, I question the vice presidentâs claim and hope you can help verify it. If it turns out he reserved it first, I will vacate the room."
Zhou Nanhua nodded, secretly applauding Lin Fanâs integrity.
"Alright then. Letâs conduct an internal investigation promptly to see if Old Chen pre-booked this suite," Zhou Nanhua instructed the nurse.
However, Chen Zhenfengâs expression changed. Anxiously, he managed a contrived smile, "No need. Since heâs the directorâs friend, letâs just give him the room."
Zhou Nanhuaâs face darkened, "Did you have a reservation or not?"
