Chapter 742: Chapter 661: The Hand Behind the Scenes

This time, treatment Professor Xiao’s wife and child received at Xiehe Hospital was even more prestigious than that afforded to a VIP.

The child’s right forearm had double fractures. Yang Ping helped to set it right, and the child received the most cutting-edge treatment.

The wife had a skin abrasion on her right knee. Several Ph.D. holders cleaned the wound, before it was stitched by a senior chief cosmetic surgeon to ensure the wound closed neatly. The surgeon even used a head-mounted microscope.

Mrs. Xiao had supported her husband’s work tirelessly for many years, taking on the chores and child-rearing single-handedly.

Today was arguably her most glorious moment as a doctor’s family member.

Since Professor Xiao’s wife had a wound on her right knee and could not drive, several Ph.D. holders drove her and her child home in multiple cars.

After everything was sorted out, everyone resumed their respective homes to rest. Yang Ping returned to the dormitory to rest as well.

The next day, Yang Ping taught the team members about surgery related to spinal fixators and, by the way, explained the anatomy of the spine.

He only had three days to visit Xiehe Hospital this time. It was considered as an initial field survey and the real work would start next time.

On Monday afternoon, Yang Ping returned to Sanbo Hospital.

The pitiful Ph.D. holders were practicing how to peel lobster with chopsticks every day at home, rehearsing the key techniques explained by Yang Ping, and studying the video.

This was the unique technique Yang Ping taught them, and there was going to be a test everyone would have to pass.

Dean Liu Xingguo’s office at Hospital 301.

Dean Liu Xingguo, Professor Qin Shi, and Commissioner Qiao Nan were looking concerned.

Dean Liu closed a document on his desk: "I have revised the acquisition plan countless times and was finally satisfied with it. I was preparing to submit it when Sanbo Hospital was absorbed by Nandu Medical University as a directly affiliated hospital. How were their actions so swift? There wasn’t any news before this and it took us a long time to find out."

Professor Qin Shi frowned: "Yes, Nandu Medical University’s assimilation of Sanbo Hospital, such a big move, surprisingly didn’t make any fuss. Even Nandu Province news did not cover it. I somehow feel that this is a clear confrontation against our acquisition proposal."

"Don’t just feel, it’s indeed against our acquisition. If Sanbo Hospital was independent, our takeover plan could have been executed smoothly, but the moment Sanbo Hospital joins the Nandu system, our interference will appear unjustified. Even our superiors would have difficulty assisting us without adequate reasons."

Commissioner Qiao Nan speculated that some powerful individual must be maneuvering behind the scenes, orchestrating all this and leading the acquisition plan of 301 to completely fall apart.

Liu Xingguo, leaning on his desk with his hands crossed, pondered for a moment before speaking: "The mastermind behind Nandu Medical University certainly has some skills. They must have known our plans beforehand. However, why would they want to compete with us for Sanbo Hospital?"

"Whatever you have your eyes set on, others may desire the same." Qiao Nan pointed out bluntly.

Professor Qin Shi revealed the latest intel: "I heard that several academicians were involved in promoting the restructuring. Without a strong power backing, this would not have been possible."

"What to do? Is the mission given by our superiors to be scrapped? How are we to answer to this?" Qiao Nan lamented while leaning on the couch and sipping his tea.

Back then, they had considered various factors, but no one expected Nandu Medical University to act so swiftly. It was unheard of for a hospital to be restructured so quickly.

Professor Qin Shi was also at a loss: "We can’t really force the allocation, can we?"

Dean Liu waved his hand: "Forceful allocation is impossible. Think about it, any other ideas? Since the method of talent introduction isn’t working -- that guy never intended to join us. It’s our fault for not collecting accurate information beforehand."

Back then, they knew nothing about this, had underestimated Yang Ping, as well as Sanbo Hospital, and more so the Nandu Medical University, which had sprang out of nowhere.

If they would have known the situation would evolve like this, they would have swiftly made the acquisitions back then, avoiding the present predicament.

Dean Liu Xingguo grew more uneasy the more he analyzed: "I have been thinking, and I am sure that Nandu Medical University didn’t just come out of nowhere. It must have been eying Sanbo Hospital all along, waiting for the opportune moment."

"Who do you think this puppeteer might be?" Dean Liu Xingguo queried.

Such manoeuvres would be quite hard to pull off without someone puppeteering behind the scenes.

"The academicians at Nandu Medical University are all academic oriented. Even if they intended to promote this, they definitely wouldn’t scheme it so meticulously. Contemplate for a moment, such significant news neither reported by the newspapers nor the internet clearly indicates an intention to keep a low profile in fear of alarming us," speculated Commissioner Qiao Nan.

Even Professor Qin Shi was unable to figure out: "Who could it be and what is their purpose? We either drop this mission, or if we decide to continue, we must figure out who’s pulling the strings on this matter."

"I need to think about it. The leaders asked for updates on the progress a few days ago, and I am nowhere close to giving a response now."

Dean Liu Xingguo really felt like he had bitten off more than he could chew this time.

He had even boasted in front of the executives that not only would he successfully carry out the acquisition but also comply with the sixteen-character guideline given by the leaders.

Now that Sanbo had been made an affiliate hospital of Nandu Medical University, how was he to explain himself?
