131: Chapter 131: Hospital Compensation 131: Chapter 131: Hospital Compensation When Zhou Wenting was still laughing, Ye Qiu shot her a cold glance. Only then did she stop laughing, but she still found it very amusing. Zhou Yuxia quickly brought the hospital security guards. They went to the monitoring room and found the surveillance footage. Within moments, they rewound to an hour earlier and found the video. In the footage, after Ye Qiu parked his new electric bike and locked it, he went into the hospital lobby on the first floor. Less than five minutes later, a man deliberately turned his back towards the surveillance camera and approached Ye Qiu’s electric bike. The man swiftly unlocked Ye Qiu’s electric bike and quickly pushed it away. From the surveillance footage, it was clear that the bike had been stolen shortly after Ye Qiu left. “It was stolen.” The security guard in the monitoring room said. Ye Qiu was visibly angry, “I specifically asked the security guard to watch it. I can’t believe it was still stolen. What kind of security does your hospital have?” “Sir, there’s a sign outside that reads, ‘Because no parking fee is charged, the safety of vehicles outside the hospital is your own responsibility.'” The head of security said. Ye Qiu realized finding his electric bike in such a big city like Jinling was basically impossible. And since it was a new bike, the thief had likely already sold it for parts. “I want to see your director.” Zhou Yuxia said. She didn’t want to hear excuses. Ye Qiu was here to treat her mother, and within an hour, his electric bike had been stolen. They owed Ye Qiu an explanation. Unlike Zhou Wenting, she didn’t laugh at Ye Qiu or think it was trivial because the bike wasn’t worth much. While Zhou Yuxia went to find the director of Jinling Hospital, Zhou Wenting occasionally glanced at Ye Qiu and continued to chuckle. Ye Qiu didn’t want to waste any more time here. As he left the monitoring room, he was contemplating whether to buy a new electric bike or go back and use his father’s old second-hand bicycle. When Zhou Yuxia reached the director’s office, Director Liang of Jinling People’s Hospital was reading a newspaper. Seeing Zhou Yuxia push the door open and walk in, he recognized her immediately. Zhou Yuxia was the CEO of Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group and Zhou Bao’s eldest daughter, so Director Liang naturally knew who she was. He’d heard that Zhou Yuxia’s mother, Wang Yulian, was recuperating in the hospital and had visited her last night. Of course, unlike Vice Director Zhou Peng of Jinling Hospital, he didn’t indulge in currying favor with the rich and powerful. “President Zhou, is there something I can help you with?” “My personal doctor’s electric bike was parked at the hospital entrance and got stolen within an hour. Your hospital owes my personal doctor an explanation.” Zhou Yuxia said. Director Liang thought it was something more serious, but it turned out to be just a missing electric bike. “The hospital entrance is very crowded, and we don’t have enough security. This incident is mainly due to the lack of hospital security personnel. However, it is indeed the hospital’s fault. I apologize.” Director Liang said. “He’s downstairs. I want you to apologize to him in person. Moreover, he had asked the security guard to look after the bike, but they ignored him.” Zhou Yuxia said. “I’ll go down and take a look.” Director Liang agreed. With nothing else pressing, and knowing he couldn’t afford to offend Zhou Yuxia, Director Liang accompanied her downstairs, where Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting were still waiting at the entrance. When Ye Qiu saw Zhou Yuxia bringing out a middle-aged man with a plump face, he guessed it must be the director. “President Zhou, which one is your personal doctor?” Director Liang asked. Zhou Yuxia led Liang Yuan to Ye Qiu. Liang Yuan was surprised to find that this ordinary-looking young man was actually Zhou Yuxia’s personal doctor. “Sir, I sincerely apologize. It is our hospital’s fault that your electric bike was stolen. We will compensate you.” Director Liang said. If it had been anyone else, Liang Yuan wouldn’t have bothered with the issue. But being Zhou Yuxia’s personal doctor made things different. “Just give me the money. I need to buy another bike.” Ye Qiu said. He didn’t expect the hospital to actually compensate him, so this was a good outcome. “How much was your electric bike?” “Three thousand two hundred yuan, the original price was three thousand eight hundred.” Ye Qiu said. Liang Yuan thought it wasn’t a big amount. He made a call, and soon, the hospital’s finance department prepared four thousand yuan. For the hospital, four thousand yuan was trivial. It could easily be recouped from other patients. After waiting for a bit, a finance officer from the hospital brought a sealed envelope containing the four thousand yuan. “Director, here’s the four thousand yuan.” The officer said. Liang Yuan handed it to Ye Qiu, “Sir, our apologies. This is your compensation from the hospital.” He said. Taking the envelope, Ye Qiu’s expression eased somewhat. He was now ready to leave and buy a new electric bike before picking up Liu Lingxiu. As Ye Qiu prepared to leave, Zhou Yuxia asked, “Doctor Ye, do you need a ride back?” “No need to trouble you. I’ll take a taxi.” Ye Qiu said. Ye Qiu hailed a taxi, got in, and said, “Take me to the nearest electric bike shop.” As the taxi drove away, Zhou Wenting watched and said to Zhou Yuxia, “That Ye Qiu is such a penny-pincher, greedy for money.” “It’s his money, so of course he wants it back.” Zhou Yuxia replied. Feeling awkward, Liang Yuan glanced at Zhou Yuxia. After scolding the security guards in front of everyone, he returned to his office and called the finance department, informing them that he had just compensated Zhou Yuxia’s personal doctor five thousand yuan. The finance department knew how to handle it. Zhou Yuxia and Zhou Wenting helped Wang Yulian into the car and drove back to their villa. Meanwhile, Ye Qiu’s taxi had already arrived at the street full of electric bike shops. He found the street packed with electric bike stores offering various brands, more than he had seen when he went with Liu Lingxiu. Ye Qiu chose a bike from the original brand but bought a more expensive model. He negotiated the price, got the keys and warranty, then rode his new bike towards Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School. By the time he returned to Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School, there were still thirty minutes left before the end of the morning’s Chinese exam. Ye Qiu waited downstairs.
