Chapter 733: Chapter 739: Give full marks for this act!
The dean is also middle-aged and slightly overweight, his belly already round.
After running all the way here, he was panting heavily.
He intentionally paused at the door of the ward, taking deep breaths before taking out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead. Then, with a beaming smile, he walked into the ward.
As soon as he entered, his gaze locked onto Shang Dongyuan.
He was, after all, one of the hospital’s key benefactors.
Ever since Xing Chen left, Shang Dongyuan’s influence in A City had rapidly expanded and his real estate business was thriving.
If the hospital wanted to expand, they would have to rely on Shang Dongyuan.
So, as soon as he received Shang Dongyuan’s call, he rushed over without delay.
Seeing Shang Dongyuan, he quickly approached with a smile and shook his hand, "Dongyuan, how do you have time to come over?"
The dean was an old acquaintance of Shang Dongyuan’s father, and wasn’t unfamiliar with Shang Dongyuan either.
"Dean Zhu." Shang Dongyuan also shook his hand, then turned to look at Chu Lianghua lying on the bed. He introduced without changing his expression, "I’m here to see my future father-in-law. I wanted to ask how his health is, Dean Zhu?"
He called him father-in-law several times, making it clear that Shang Dongyuan certainly knew how to talk.
When Dean Zhu heard him say father-in-law, he paused for a moment and then quickly looked at Chu Lianghua, slapping his own forehead as realization struck, "Oh my! He’s your father-in-law, Dongyuan? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? He should have been transferred to the VIP ward upstairs right away!"
Chu Lianghua exchanged a puzzled glance with Li Li.
They were fairly familiar with the dean since they had frequented the hospital at their age.
But they hadn’t expected Dean Zhu to be so courteous to Shang Dongyuan.
Now, they were extremely curious about Shang Dongyuan’s identity, so they looked at Chu Xiaoge, their eyes full of questions.
Chu Xiaoge felt a bit flustered under his parents’ gazes and inwardly wanted to give Shang Dongyuan a thumbs up.
This act was perfect! Full marks!
"Mom, he’s the president of Shang Group," Chu Xiaoge said, supporting Shang Dongyuan’s pretense, though feeling a little guilty.
After receiving confirmation from Chu Xiaoge, Li Li exchanged another glance with Chu Lianghua.
Shang Group... in A City, it was known to everyone!
The president of such a big group was their Chuchu’s man? Their daughter’s partner?
This...
Chu Lianghua couldn’t even stay angry because Dean Zhu had quickly moved to his bedside, starting to show concern and comfort him.
"Brother Chu, if you need anything, just let me know! I’ve watched Dongyuan grow up! Since you’re his father-in-law, that makes you my brother too! Rest assured, I’ll arrange for the top specialists to perform your surgery!"
Dean Zhu was quite skilled at flattery, always knowing exactly what to say to whom.
"Not at all... There’s no need for such courtesy, Dean..." Chu Lianghua didn’t know what to say, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the dean’s unexpected attentiveness.
Seeing that the timing was right, Shang Dongyuan lightly cleared his throat.
Dean Zhu immediately turned and looked at Shang Dongyuan, understanding his hint instantly. He said to Chu Lianghua, "Brother Chu, your condition is not too serious. Just rest assured and wait for the surgery. As they say, there’s no time like the present. Since I’m here, why don’t we all have a meal together?"
