Chapter 595: Medical and Relief Supplies

“Were you talking to Jiang Yao?” Old General Liang eventually realized Jiang Yao might have overhead what he said earlier. “Did she believe in what you said?”

“For now, at least. That’s why I need to be in Rong County as soon as possible to check out the situation. Jiang Yao is still a young lady but she has a very sensitive mind. We can’t hide from her for too long,” Liang Yueze said. “Grandpa, stay behind and wait for the news, I’ll go now.”

After hearing from Liang Yueze that the soldier was not Lu Xingzhi, Jiang Yao went back into her room in relief.

She thought about it, changed her clothes, and said to Wen Xuehui, “Can you help me? I’ll have to take tomorrow off, there are urgent matters I need to attend to.”

She stuffed Moe into her backpack and left the room before getting into her car. As she was leaving, she did not hear Wen Xuehui’s question asking where she would be.

After leaving the campus, Jiang Yao gave the director of Shengqi Hospital a call.

“Did you hear about the flood in Rong County?” Jiang Yao asked before continuing, “Call for an emergency meeting with all medical and nursing staff immediately! I’ll need you to reschedule the s.h.i.+fts and arrange for a third of our medical personnel to head to the frontlines in Rong County.”

A brief pause later, she added, “It will be hard for everyone in the hospital. On behalf of me, the shareholder of the hospital, please express my heartfelt grat.i.tude to all our medical personnel. There will be a bonus for everyone this month and whoever volunteers to go to Rong County will have their current month’s salary tripled.”

She spoke extremely fast, perhaps worrying that any second delayed would deprive the medical personnel an opportunity to save more lives.

“Yes! I’ll get to it immediately!” The Director was instantly galvanized. He already knew of the dire situation in Rong County but perhaps he was used to the previous shareholders’ indifference to unprofitable matters, he could only express his sympathies on the victims of the disaster.

However, he had no real intentions of contributing help to the victims.

It was not until he received Jiang Yao’s phone call that his heart, buried under the desire for profit and money, was finally awakened.

He remembered the reason he chose to be a doctor in the first place. Not just for its career stability, but when he was younger, he had a pa.s.sion to serve the people.

As he grew older and gained more experiences, his pa.s.sion was slowly worn down by the realities of society, and eventually abandoned in his blind pursuit of wealth and fame.

With Rong County in trouble, Jiang Yao, a nineteen-year-old girl, took up a responsibility that did not belong to her.

She was willing to forgo Shengqi Hospital’s profits and also to bear all grievances by the employees just to help the people in suffering.

To the Director, she was in fact a kind and gentle girl. Although it was easy to overlook that fact because of her hard-line att.i.tude in running the hospital.

Jiang Yao called Manager Sun after establis.h.i.+ng the details for the Shengqi Hospital’s humanitarian effort. “I am transferring five hundred thousand dollars in cash to you now. Purchase as many non-perishable foods, water, daily goods, waterproof tents as fast as possible and have them delivered to the frontline at Rong County!”
