Chapter 1361 - 854: This Is an Insult

Jin Zan, who left the hospital, wanted to speak but hesitated. He wanted to discuss what just happened, but being very aware of Shi Jin's character, he rubbed his bald head twice vigorously and eventually forced himself not to ask.

Shi Jin, because of his family, developed qualities such as diligence, perseverance, and hard work. It is precisely these good qualities that have brought him to where he is today.

However, also due to his family, he has become very sensitive, to the point of being extremely perceptive.

For instance, if he's passing by during a conversation between two people and they stop talking when he approaches and greet him instead, he would think they might have been talking about him behind his back.

This would lead him to uncontrollably start guessing what the two were discussing.

Were they talking about how poor his family is? How he couldn't afford new clothes? Or how he eats bread and pickled vegetables every meal?

He would even go over recent events one by one, carefully recalling which things or words he didn't manage or express well beforehand.

This has made him someone with a strong external pride but full of inner insecurity.

Most importantly, he often wants to show that even though he's poor, he is very generous. However, he often ends up doing things that are stingy to an extreme degree.

From starting school together to graduation after so many years, their classmates, seniors, juniors, and mentors have been carefully maintaining his sensitive and fragile heart, fearing that an inappropriate action might cause this surgery genius with innate talent to become EMO and waste away.

Because of this, Jin Zan held back the previous question.

If it was just this, Jin Zan would not have thought much about it; at most, he would not let him interact with Du Heng in the future.

But at the very end, this person gave Du Heng's Child a red envelope, which was something Jin Zan completely didn't know about or expect.

Thinking about his stingy nature, Jin Zan couldn't hold back once he reached the parking lot and asked, "Old Shi, why did you give a red envelope earlier without even saying a word to me beforehand?"

Shi Jin spent the whole time both excited and worried, imagining his recovery and being able to wield the scalpel freely again on the operation table, while also worrying that Du Heng's house might not work and that he'd end up disappointed.

Upon hearing Jin Zan's question, he displayed a slightly proud smile, "Even though Doctor Du is your classmate, showing up at this time is indeed inappropriate.

So, I used the form of a red envelope for the Child to express my gratitude to Doctor Du. I didn't want him to think I'm someone without insight and make you lose face in front of your classmate."

From his words, it was clear that Shi Jin was still very clear-headed and had a good grasp of social interactions.

This made Jin Zan exhale slightly, "So how much did you put in?"

Shi Jin chuckled softly, "Rest assured, it won't make you lose face, and it definitely fits Doctor Du's professional stature."

Seeing Shi Jin unwilling to specify the amount, Jin Zan didn't press further.

And since that's what he said, he could only say, "Alright, hurry back and get the medicine, and if there's any problem when taking it, call me right away, I'll find Old Du."

Originally, giving Du Heng's phone number to Shi Jin in this situation would be the best choice, but remembering Shi Jin's earlier behavior, Jin Zan felt it was better to take on a bit more trouble himself.

His thinking coincided with Du Heng's mood at that moment.

Seeing Wu Shengnan take out 50 yuan from the envelope, he smiled wryly.

Fifty yuan, the registration fee for most director consultions at the Capital Hospital.

Looking at the green 50 yuan, Du Heng chuckled bitterly; this Doctor Shi truly thought highly of him, treating him as if he were at a Director level even though he was just a Deputy Director.

At this moment, Wu Shengnan was also quite surprised, her gaze lingering between Du Heng and the 50 yuan.

Does she need money?

Of course not; their joint bank card balance has several zeros trailing behind it.

Is she stingy?

Definitely not, yesterday she even agreed to let her husband donate six million yuan.

But this 50-yuan red envelope, let's not even talk about the current situation, because whether from Jin Zan's perspective or from Du Heng's standpoint of providing Treatment, this shouldn't be 50 yuan, right?

Even if you didn't give anything, it would be understandable, given her husband's relationship with Jin Zan.

But giving it and only giving 50 yuan is a blatant insult, implying her husband is obsessed with money.

The more she thought, the angrier Wu Shengnan got. She directly threw the money onto the bed, "Look at what kind of thing your friend did, will you die if you don't have this 50?"

Du Heng chuckled wryly, "It's just a token of appreciation from him, don't overthink it."

Wu Shengnan was so upset, she glared at Du Heng and said, "This person should never be associated with in the future."

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."

"Even if your friend brings him back, you shouldn't treat him again."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Although Wu Shengnan knew this was unlikely, she couldn't help but vent her anger.

And to her surprise, her rash words actually had a moment of realization.

After three days, the child's condition had completely improved, and they just needed to recuperate slowly over time.

Du Heng himself also participated in the grand donation ceremony jointly organized by Dong Yuezhang and Gong Daoyang for him.
