Du Heng had just finished speaking when Director He, who had remained silent, suddenly added, "Indeed, it's not a difficult choice. Our Neurology Department is the best in the province."
Then he looked at the sullen Zhang Dewen and hastily laughed to mask his awkwardness.
Zhang Dewen suddenly found it difficult to breathe. After taking a few deep breaths, he stammered, "You... you..."
But after repeating 'you' several times, he couldn't articulate a proper rebuke.
Regardless, Du Heng spoke again, "Sir Zhang, there was originally no connection between Director Jia and me. It was Ms. Li Qin who kindly helped establish contact. And Li Qin and I are good friends, so regardless of whether Director Jia is at your hospital or not, I will do my utmost to treat him. Furthermore, using a patient's health as a bargaining chip is, to me, an inherently shameful act. Therefore, Sir Zhang, I must ask you to retract what you just said."
