Chapter 1495: Chapter 1117: I Haven’t Taken a Single Penny_2

A few days ago, Fujiwara Miyuki reported to her second brother Fujiwara Chishou about her recent work: Dear second brother, I have successfully approached him, and as planned, I have made him develop feelings for me. I am confident in staying by his side to complete the task. Please rest assured.

Of course, she used code words to report, showing no signs of abnormality on the surface.

The reason Fujiwara Miyuki stayed by Yang Ping’s side was that she didn’t want anyone to harm Yang Ping. If she refused, her brother would certainly come up with other ways. Therefore, it was better for her to agree and maneuver with her brother so that she could at least provide a bit of protection for Yang Ping.

Lately, her brother Fujiwara Chishou had been getting close to Li Gaoyang of the United States, and the two groups were moving towards cooperation. Miyuki knew this was disadvantageous to Yang Ping because once Yang Ping’s current research project succeeded, it would have a dimensionality reduction impact on many of their new reserves in the pharmaceutical market. She could say that Yang Ping had become a thorn in the side of many.

The banner celebrating Yang Ping’s Nobel Prize at the hospital was still hanging. Before winning the Nobel Prize, everyone was filled with anticipation for Yang Ping’s win. After winning, there wasn’t overwhelming media coverage, which was precisely what Yang Ping liked. He preferred not to be at the center of public opinion, enjoying such quietude.

Having won the Nobel Prize, Yang Ping soon entered the academicians’ selection process. If no unexpected events occurred, it was a sure thing. Su Nanchen from Nandu Medical University, along with Song Zimo and Tang Shunjiang from Sanbo Hospital, were the latest candidates for Outstanding Young Talent. This event also carried little surprise. In the coming years, Nandu Medical University and Sanbo Hospital would experience a burst of scientific research achievements, with talents emerging in an endless stream.

The Nobel Prize is merely an award. It is just a temporary recognition of scientific achievements. Yang Ping accepted this award but would not personally attend the ceremony. He entrusted Song Zimo to accept it on his behalf, which was permissible. Awards, after all, are good things; with a certificate and a bonus, who wouldn’t like that?

The second phase of animal experiments for tumor treatment had already started. With the expansion of animal laboratory facilities, Dean Xia acquired a piece of land in the suburbs specifically to build a farm, making it better to transfer the pigs there. The hospital arranged for a special vehicle to commute daily, facilitating experiments while preventing too many pigs being raised in the hospital, which could cause environmental issues. After all, it’s a hospital, and keeping dozens or hundreds of pigs long-term isn’t good.

Working in a prefab room was not very comfortable but just about manageable. The main downside was the poor sound insulation, and the prefab wasn’t as solid as reinforced concrete buildings. External noise had a significant impact inside. Dean Xia often liked to bang on the table, and in such prefab rooms, a single slap could make the whole building shake thrice. Aside from this, Dean Xia didn’t find much else unsuitable.

Director Qin entered the dean’s office, and shortly after, the entire office building was trembling, perhaps due to an unsuccessful communication with Dean Xia. Director Qin was a domineering person and got agitated while talking with Dean Xia, who refused to back down. When domineering met domineering, no one gave way, and the prefab office shook during their half-hour of unpleasant communication. Someone saw Director Qin storm out, muttering something.

Director Qin had always been domineering in the spinal surgery department, having the final say. Regarding Wen Zhong’s spinal scoliosis surgery qualification, he decided to stop it in the name of patient safety. Wen Zhong argued that his surgery success rate was much higher than Director Qin’s, questioning what kind of strange reason patient safety was. Director Qin couldn’t win the argument, so he simply stopped accepting any questioning, directly stating the surgery would be stopped—no reason! He was the department director, and he had that authority.

Now, Dean Xia was working to make him relinquish his position, appointing Dr. Jin as director, with Wen Zhong as deputy director, offering him an expert’s idle position—wasn’t this bullying? After struggling for Sanbo Hospital for so many years, giving the director position to Dr. Jin, who was just an attending, was he any better than him?

Damn, isn’t this bullying, trying to root him out completely? Who’s afraid of whom?

Soon after, an astonishing incident occurred at Sanbo Hospital. Dean Xia was accused of corruption and bribery, allegedly raking in money from hospital equipment and infrastructure construction. The online articles seemed detailed and convincing, causing a tremendous negative impact. In recent years, many hospital deans had fallen due to such matters, so netizens chose to believe these online rumors.

Higher authorities had no choice but to temporarily suspend Dean Xia, immediately dispatching an investigation team to Sanbo Hospital for a thorough investigation, ensuring not to wrong innocent people while not letting lawbreakers escape.

"I can say, since the day I became dean, let alone corruption and bribery—I haven’t even had a meal with a supplier. Being upright means not fearing the shadows. Let them investigate however they want. Such slander is too irresponsible," Dean Xia said angrily, slamming the table.

"Old Xia, don’t get agitated. This matter will surely be clarified," Director Han comforted him.

"I’ve been dean for so long without taking a penny against my conscience," Dean Xia was very agitated.

"We believe you," Director Han patted his back.

Director Han was urgently promoted to acting dean, responsible for the daily management of Sanbo Hospital. With such an issue occurring, the hospital’s normal operations could not be affected, especially as Sanbo Hospital was on the rise.

Director Han went from department to department, speaking and reassuring everyone’s feelings. He knew very well whether or not Dean Xia had violated the law. Having worked at Sanbo Hospital for so many years, if he lacked even this level of discernment, the years working together would have fed the dogs.

Old Xia was exceptionally capable and straightforward. If someone else faced such rumors, Director Han would be uncertain, but not with Dean Xia. He firmly believed there was more to this. In Director Han’s mind, Dean Xia was one of the few who could maintain his original intentions and ideals after going through societal trials, a true idealist at heart, even though his practical actions aligned with pragmatism.

During his suspension for investigation, Dean Xia was isolated from the outside world, unable to contact anyone.

Director Han visited the Foreign Research Institute to reassure Yang Ping. After all, this matter significantly affected the emotions of the hospital staff. Yang Ping’s rise at Sanbo Hospital was indeed mainly due to his extraordinary personal ability, but the support of leadership like Dean Xia also played a significant role.

"Xiao Yang, make sure you don’t let Dean Xia’s issue affect your work. I believe he is innocent," Director Han reassured Yang Ping.

Yang Ping thought for a moment and said, "Don’t worry, I believe Dean Xia is innocent. No matter what happens, it won’t affect my work."

"That’s good. Dean Xia repeatedly urged you not to let this matter impact your work. He is just a dean; changes in leadership at Sanbo Hospital are common. He also said, no matter what happens, you must believe in him; he is innocent," Director Han relayed to Yang Ping.

Indeed, before being isolated, Dean Xia said nothing else but this. He was worried that Yang Ping, being so young, might have his sentiments and beliefs collapse because of his matter.

Given Sanbo Hospital’s unique status and overwhelming public opinion, the investigation team didn’t dare to slack off. To avoid suspicion, they did not choose Sanbo Hotel as their office base but opted for another nearby hotel. The investigation team members were randomly selected elite disciplinary inspection personnel from across the country.

Since its founding, Sanbo Hospital had indeed procured a lot of large equipment and undertaken extensive infrastructure work. Every project was a hotbed for potential corruption, and many hospital deans had fallen over pharmaceuticals, equipment, devices, and infrastructure.
