Chapter 974: Chapter 824: They’re All Ruthless Characters

Guo Jingyao, a magnate from Southeast Asia, inquired with doctors and nurses about houses for sale in the vicinity, and they pointed out several properties to him.

The gentleman mentioned he wanted to buy a house near the hospital, but ended up purchasing an entire real estate project. Next to it, a property development had stalled due to the developer’s lack of funding, leaving the building unfinished. The helpless residents who had already paid could only express their rights by hanging banners everywhere.

After his son toured the property and found it satisfactory, he came back to discuss it with his father, who said they should just buy it, invest in it, and develop it well, and that was Mr. Guo’s way of buying a house.

The existence of a willing buyer for such an unfinished project delighted both parties, and they hurried to negotiate and sign a contract, fearing the buyer might have second thoughts.

Guo Jingyao hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly and, keen for good luck, he immediately signed the contract.

He placed great importance on the development of this property since he himself would frequently stay there in the future. How could he not care?

August returned to Germany, ready to make a name for himself—adopting the Yang-style surgical method for correcting spinal scoliosis, promoting external fixation frame technology for spine correction, and initiating research into the application of the Precise Epiphyseal Arrest Technique in spinal scoliosis correction.

Sitting in his office after being away for several months, he realized, to his surprise, that he was somewhat uncomfortable adjusting back to life in Germany.

"Mr. August!"

Assistant Markus updated him on the department’s work over the past few months and the latest developments in European spinal surgery.

August glanced at the few pennants on the wall. In stark contrast to the photos sent by the Luo brothers, whose office and even corridors were filled with pennants, his own office looked quite modest. He felt ashamed of his meager collection of pennants.

"Why are there only so few pennants? Didn’t I ask you to think of something?" August was far from satisfied.

Markus appeared helpless. "I really tried my best. These were given by a few Chinese patients after I called for follow-ups. Other patients didn’t understand the meaning, so instead, they sent cakes, resulting in us eating cake for several months."

As an honest young man, August knew the situation and couldn’t say much else. The pennants were a complete loss to the Luo brothers.

As August walked through the department, he realized that Markus was the only one proficient in Chinese. The others in the department had not taken the initiative to learn, with each person only casually memorizing a few or a dozen Chinese characters.

Almost everyone complained it was difficult to learn Chinese, saying that it had taken them months of their spare time to learn just those few characters.

Clearly, the initiative to learn Chinese was also a resounding failure, darkening August’s mood even further.

"Mr. August, I’m sorry to say, Chinese is just too difficult to learn. I supervise them daily, but they still can’t grasp this ancient and complex language. Currently, I’m the only one who has learned Chinese, and I have already mastered over four thousand characters with no barriers to speaking, listening, reading, and writing."

Markus was earnest; he had enrolled in a Chinese language course and studied for three hours every evening after work. After all this time, he had mastered four thousand characters and could communicate without any issues.

"You’re doing well. I wish everyone were like you."

August took a deep breath, resolving to boost his team’s morale; they needed to pick themselves up from where they had fallen.

"Markus, we need to take action. Starting tomorrow, hire an excellent Chinese teacher to come to the hospital and teach a two-hour Chinese class every evening. We’ll have a short quiz every week and a major test monthly. Anyone failing the tests will be removed from our team. Starting tomorrow, the Chinese classes will be under military-style management; everyone must pass each lesson’s content, and those who don’t will have to stay for remedial lessons afterward," August declared with typical German resolve.

"Three months—that’s all I’m giving you. I want everyone to master at least four thousand Chinese characters. Anyone not meeting this standard should leave Harald immediately. It’s an order," August said with a firm tone.

"I will contact a Chinese teacher tomorrow," Markus responded, ready to take action.

"No, contact one today," August ordered sternly. "I want to see a neat lineup at tomorrow’s Chinese class."

"I’m on it right away!"

Markus knew Mr. August was serious this time; he had never seen August look so grim, so he didn’t dare be sloppy.

"And about the pennants—" August continued.

Understanding August’s goals and determination, Markus quickly suggested, "I’ll set up an automatic message on your appointment line. Every patient who books an appointment with you will hear a prompt—’Please present a pennant to Mr. August’s office in exchange for a free appointment voucher.’ For the pennant template and to mail the free voucher, please contact the pennant commissioner at Mr. August’s office. This is currently the only way to schedule an appointment with Doctor August."

"Good! You have three months. I want to see the entire office and the corridors filled with pennants," August commanded, both strict and confident.

"Understood, Mr. August. Please trust us!" Markus replied decisively.
