Chapter 228 Director Wei's Deal
Director Wei had concealed it well before, but now that there were only two people in the office, there was no need to hide anymore. A strong desire lit up his face.
Actually, for Wei Guohua, the director of the emergency department,
women didn't hold much attraction for him.
In his many years of practicing medicine, what kind of women hadn't he seen?
Even the most beautiful ones, he had encountered.
But a woman with a figure like He Li's, this was his first time seeing one.
Under normal circumstances, Director Wei wouldn't really dare to entertain too many thoughts.
But He Li was different.
He understood this girl very well.
First, this girl had a younger brother who had just undergone a kidney transplant.
Afterwards, a substantial amount of money for medical expenses would still be needed.
And today, unfortunately, her mother, who was caring for the brother in the hospital, accidentally fell down from upstairs.
She suffered a comminuted fracture in her leg.
Immediate surgery was needed.
For He Li, who was merely a small employee at a clothing company, this was naturally adding frost to snow.
Of course, these are not the reasons why Director Wei dared to make his demands.
The reason he dared to make demands was because he was certain that He Li's thirty thousand came from improper means.
What are called improper means?
Cheating, deceiving, swindling, stealing, robbing...
These are all improper means.
But his understanding of this girl assured him she couldn't do such things.
So, the only possibility was that she had sold her youth.
Previously it was only suspicion, but today He Li's appearance at the hospital confirmed his thoughts.
Since He Li's money was ill-gotten in the first place, then why couldn't Director Wei let her make a sum off of it?
Whose money isn't money earned?
Thirty thousand, for Director Wei, was not too much.
But a top-notch woman like He Li, he might not encounter another in his lifetime.
As it happened, He Li seemed to be at the end of her rope.
To save her mother, she had to dip into the money for her brother's treatment.
And using the money for her brother's treatment, her mother would be driven to desperation.
In conclusion, this normally honest and simple Director Wei decided to be bold for once while he was young.
So that later when he was old, he'd have something to boast about.
He Li finally understood something from Director Wei's gaze.
Director Wei, he was probably eyeing her.
She had said it, she had never heard of any free surgery slots or anything like that at the hospital.
"He Li, you should know, the earlier your mother's surgery, the higher the chance of recovery. If you miss the best treatment opportunity, even if you get the money, your mother may not be able to stand up again," Director Wei poured himself a cup of tea, leisurely sipping it.
He didn't spell out his intentions, but he believed, He Li couldn't possibly misunderstand.
"You should know, apart from the surgery costs, a large sum of money will be needed during the recovery period. I know you may have ways to get money, but have you considered your aunt's feelings? Do you think your mother doesn't know what you've been up to outside?" To put He Li at ease, Director Wei even directly referred to her mother as 'aunt'.
He Li's body trembled slightly.
Indeed, she could tell from the way her mother looked at her and from her agitated expression.
Her mother had already guessed something.
Although, perhaps what she did was not as serious as her mother thought.
But indeed, the things she did were all shady.
Going to bars, becoming a car show girl, even considering becoming someone's kept woman...
But what could she do?
At the end of the day, she was just a girl in her twenties.
Connections, relationships, abilities, none allowed her to earn a substantial amount of money in a short time.
To get money quickly, she could only take unconventional paths.
If it hadn't been for meeting Su Chen, perhaps she would've already sold herself for that thirty thousand.
"But trading with me is different, I can make your aunt think that you obtained that free slot."
Director Wei's smile deepened as he continued: "Although, what you have to do is essentially the same, at least it will be somewhat easier for your aunt to accept, don't you think?"
Director Wei was very good at grasping people's psychology.
He could see that He Li cared deeply about her mother.
And cared even more about her mother's opinion of her.
Anyway, He Li was trading her body for money, so what's the difference between trading with other men and trading with him?
With him, he could help He Li find a reason that would put her mother's mind at ease.
In Director Wei's view, He Li had no reason to refuse him.
After all, even though He Li was not bad, thirty thousand was no small amount.
If it was before meeting Su Chen, maybe He Li really would have traded with Director Wei.
Because not only could Director Wei offer her money, but he could also prevent her mother from misunderstanding her.
But after all, she had met Su Chen.
The man who casually gave her three hundred thousand without asking for anything in return.
She still remembered what Su Chen had said when he gave her the three hundred thousand.
The authentic version is on M|V|LEMPY_R.
To take care of herself.
If now for thirty thousand, He Li sold herself.
She would despise herself, feel disgusted.
Even if, one day, she really needed to.
Why wouldn't she go to Su Chen?
Even if Su Chen thought of her as despicable, thought she had no shame.
It would still be much better than being with this sleazy old man, right?
"Thank you, Director Wei, I'll think of other ways," He Li said without anger, her tone calm.
Things like this, she had encountered too many times. At the beginning, she was angry, wanting to resist.
But gradually, she got used to it.
Like that time in the bar when customers poured drinks on her and even wanted to drench her head with saliva-mixed alcohol.
She could resist, but what after resisting?
She would still have to go before another man, force a smile, and then hope that the other party would hand over the money in their pocket to her.
Director Wei was slightly taken aback.
He hadn't expected He Li to actually refuse.
"He Li, I know there are tens of thousands in medical bills for your brother, but you must understand, your mother said not to touch that money, if you do..." Director Wei said, narrowing his eyes.
He Li immediately understood Director Wei's implication and said angrily, "You're shameless!"
