Chapter 1002 First Aid
Li Daqi had worked in foreign trade. Initially, Shenghua Clothing was managed by Li Daqi, and most of Shenghua Clothing's products were exported.
But exports are also different. In comparison, European and American countries have better export reputations, while other countries and regions are not so good. Song Chaoyuan's reminder made Li Daqi nod in agreement, and he told Song Yuanchao that he would pay special attention to this aspect.
"There's nothing else to do. You can make your own decisions on specific matters. By the way, I don't think Zhengguo has anything to do these days. When you get to Pengcheng, find time to meet with him and ask him to cooperate with you in handling the export work."
"Okay! This guy has been idle enough these days, he needs to move around, otherwise he will gain a few more pounds if he continues like this." Li Daqi said this with a smile. Song Chaoyuan laughed after hearing it. Li Daqi was really right. He met Qin Zhengguo some time ago. This guy kept shouting about losing weight every year, but he just couldn't lose any weight. It seems that this guy will never be able to lose weight in his life.
Ding-a-ling.
The phone suddenly rang. Song Chaoyuan gestured to Li Daqi, picked up the phone and answered.
"Yuan Chao! Is it Yuan Chao?" A familiar voice came from the phone. Song Yuanchao knew who it was as soon as he heard it. Wasn't this his master, Lao Ma Xun, the former director of the school-run factory?
"Master, it's you. I'm Yuan Chao. Haha, how have you been recently? I haven't seen you for a while..." Song Chaoyuan said with a smile on the phone. Just as he was about to have a good chat with Director Ma, Director Ma interrupted Song Chaoyuan directly.
"If you have time, come over right away and bring some money. I'm at XX Hospital, hurry up!" Director Ma said hurriedly on the phone.
"Why did you go to the hospital? Is it your health...?"
"It's not me, it's Lao Zhou!"
"Principal Zhou? What's wrong with him?" Song Chaoyuan asked anxiously.
"Hey... I suddenly had a stroke... He's in emergency now. I don't have enough money. You..."
"Stop talking, Master. I'll be there right away. Please wait for me!" Song Chaoyuan interrupted Director Ma without waiting for him to finish his words. He then repeated the hospital he was in and hung up the phone after confirming it.
"What happened? Is Principal Zhou admitted to the hospital?" Li Daqi, who was listening to the conversation between Song Chaoyuan and Ma Xun, asked hurriedly when he saw Song Chaoyuan hang up the phone.
Song Yuanchao nodded, turned around and went to the next room. After a moment, he came out with a bag containing tens of thousands of yuan in cash. This money was what Song Chaoyuan usually kept at home, and now he took it all out.
"I'll go with you!" Li Daqi suggested.
Although the relationship between Li Daqi and Principal Zhou is not as deep as that between him and Song Chaoyuan, Principal Zhou is Li Daqi's old leader after all. In addition, after Song Chaoyuan was admitted to the university, Li Daqi became Director Ma's apprentice, so the two can be said to be brothers. Now Principal Zhou is in the hospital and Director Ma is waiting in the hospital. How can Li Daqi, who knows the situation, not take it seriously?
Song Chaoyuan nodded without saying anything, and the two of them quickly walked out of the house. A moment later, Song Chaoyuan got in Li Daqi's car and rushed to the hospital. They arrived at the hospital in less than half an hour.
Li Daqi drove the car directly to the gate of the emergency room and stopped. Song Chaoyuan jumped out of the car and ran inside with the bag. Li Daqi waited for Song Chaoyuan to get out of the car and continued driving forward. He found a suitable place to park the car, and then trotted into the emergency building.
"Master!" After entering the emergency building, Li Daqi looked for Song Yuanchao in the crowd and soon found him at the payment window. Not only Song Yuanchao was there, but Director Ma was also there. The two were handing money inside the window.
"Daqi, why are you here too?"
"I was there when you called . Master, is Principal Zhou okay?" Li Daqi asked after a brief explanation.
Director Ma sighed and shook his head, "We are still rescuing him. He hasn't come out yet and we don't know if he is okay..."
"Why did you suddenly have a stroke?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's because of his old age." Director Ma said, "He was fine a few minutes ago, but he suddenly fell down while chatting. If someone hadn't helped him in time, Lao Zhou would have fallen to the ground. I live nearby, and Lao Zhou's friends know me, so they called me. When I rushed over, the ambulance had just arrived, so I went to the hospital with him..."
"Where is Mrs. Zhou?" Li Daqi asked.
"My sister-in-law went out of town to look after her children some time ago, and she wanted Lao Zhou to go with her, but Lao Zhou said that he hadn't finished revising his book yet, so he let my sister-in-law go alone. Who would have thought that Lao Zhou would have this accident just a few days after my sister-in-law left."
As he spoke, Director Ma slapped his head and said, "My sister-in-law doesn't even know that Lao Zhou is in the hospital. No! I have to call her and ask her to come back immediately. If Lao Zhou...Pooh, pooh, pooh!" Before he could finish his words, Director Ma spat a few times. Fortunately, he didn't say the rest of the words. It was really unlucky to say these things in the hospital.
At this time, Song Chaoyuan had already paid the money. He took the payment slip and asked Director Ma where Principal Zhou was being treated. Director Ma took Song Chaoyuan and the others upstairs without saying a word. After a while, they arrived at the emergency room. Song Chaoyuan showed the doctor the payment slip and then asked about Principal Zhou's specific situation.
"The patient's condition is not very good. Are you the patient's family members? You came at the right time. Please sign this first." The doctor handed a critical illness notice to Song Chaoyuan with an expressionless face and pointed to the signature column on it.
Song Chaoyuan was slightly stunned, then without saying anything, he took out a pen and signed on it.
He understood the hospital's procedures, and there was no need to explain the relationship between him and Principal Zhou at this time. Everything was based on saving lives. After signing, Song Chaoyuan begged the doctor to do his best to save Principal Zhou, no matter how much money it cost.
The doctor nodded in a businesslike manner, turned around and went inside. After the door was closed, Song Chaoyuan discussed with Director Ma and Li Daqi, and then the three of them made their own phone calls. Not long after, the director of the hospital hurried over, and when he arrived at the door, he stepped forward to ask who was Mr. Song.
Song Yuanchao quickly revealed his identity and shook hands with the dean, saying that he was Song Chaoyuan. The dean comforted Song Chaoyuan and said that he already knew the patient's condition. The hospital would make the greatest efforts and use the best equipment to rescue Principal Zhou, so they could rest assured.
Cerebral infarction is very dangerous and it is very common to die if not treated promptly. Fortunately, there was someone by Principal Zhou's side when he fell ill.
Principal Zhou was performing the rescue inside, while Song Chaoyuan and the others were waiting outside. They saw doctors and nurses coming in and out, but there was no specific news.
As it was getting dark, Song Chaoyuan persuaded Director Ma to go back and rest first. Director Ma was not young anymore, and old people should not be tired. Instead of everyone waiting like this, it would be better for him to go back first. Song Chaoyuan and Li Daqi would be here.
But Director Ma shook his head and refused, saying that he and Principal Zhou had been colleagues and friends for many years, and now that Old Zhou was lying in there and he didn't know what was going on, how could he leave? He had to wait until Principal Zhou came out before he was willing to leave. In desperation, Song Chaoyuan went to the hospital to discuss it. Because of the instructions of the dean, the hospital readily gave the rest room next door to Song Chaoyuan and his team. Song Chaoyuan advised Director Ma to lie down there and rest for a while, and then call him when there was news.
Lin Yan came here at night. She learned the news late. When she got home, she found Song Yuanchao was not there. She waited for a long time but Song Yuanchao did not come back, so she called him. Only then did she learn about Principal Zhou.
After knowing this, Lin Yan asked the servants at home to pack some food and drove to the hospital. When Lin Yan arrived, Song Chaoyuan and the others remembered that they had not eaten yet, so they left a portion for Director Ma. Song Chaoyuan and Li Daqi ate it voraciously.
Just after finishing the meal and before they had time to clean up, they heard the emergency room calling for Principal Zhou's family. Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi hurried over to inquire about the situation. The doctor took off his mask and told them that the patient had temporarily passed the critical period, but would need surgery in the later stage. As for whether to remove the blood clot or other options, the hospital would discuss it and then communicate with the family, and would come up with a specific surgical plan at that time.
After thanking the doctor, Li Daqi tactfully put a big red envelope into the doctor's pocket, and also prepared red envelopes for the nurses who helped with the rescue . Although the dean had given instructions, Song Chaoyuan's actions won the favor of the doctors and nurses. He carefully talked to them about some other situations and precautions, and then left with tired feet.
Principal Zhou was admitted to the intensive care unit. Originally, it was impossible for him to stay there according to his level, but because of Song Chaoyuan, all this was not a problem. Principal Zhou was lying in the ward, and the instruments around him made a slight sound. Seeing Principal Zhou's pale face, closed eyes, and messy white hair, Song Chaoyuan couldn't help but feel a sour nose. He took a deep breath and tried not to let his tears fall.
After entering the ward, Director Ma felt relieved after seeing him. Seeing that it was getting late, Song Chaoyuan advised him to go back and rest, and it would not be too late to come back tomorrow. Moreover, Li Daqi was going to Pengcheng tomorrow, so he drove Director Ma back. This time, Director Ma did not refuse. After giving Song Chaoyuan a few words, he left with Li Daqi.
Then, Song Chaoyuan asked Lin Yan to go back first, and she would stay in the hospital with Principal Zhou today. Lin Yan did not persuade Song Chaoyuan, because she knew very well how important Principal Zhou was in Song Chaoyuan's heart, and she could not help now, as there were children at home. Lin Yan gently told Song Chaoyuan that she would bring him food tomorrow, and asked Song Chaoyuan not to be too tired. Song Chaoyuan nodded to show that he understood, and Lin Yan left.
After everyone left, Song Chaoyuan sat quietly beside Principal Zhou's bed, looking at Principal Zhou who was lying nearby.
Principal Zhou is over 70 years old this year. This respectable elder has worked in education for his entire life and has made countless contributions.
Principal Zhou and Song Chaoyuan's father Song Guangzeng were not only colleagues, but also close friends. In his previous life, Song Chaoyuan misunderstood Principal Zhou and drove him away without even giving him a chance to explain. In this life, all misunderstandings have long been resolved. In Song Chaoyuan's heart, Principal Zhou is not only an elder he respects, but also a benefactor who has given him great help.
When Song Chaoyuan just returned to Shanghai, if it weren't for the help of Principal Zhou, Song Chaoyuan would not have gone to work in the school-run factory, let alone the opportunities and development that followed. Over the years, Principal Zhou has been silently contributing, never asking for anything in work or life, and caring for Song Chaoyuan like his own son or nephew.
Looking back over the past few years, due to work and other reasons, Song Chaoyuan had seen Principal Zhou less frequently. This time when Principal Zhou got into trouble, fortunately he discovered it in time, otherwise Song Chaoyuan would not even have the chance to see him for the last time. Thinking of this, Song Chaoyuan couldn't help but blame himself deeply and burst into tears.
