A Cursed Mask, A Medical Legend

Chapter 12 Contradicting

　　After sending away the leaders and the reporters, Old Master Chiao went to the emergency room to find Declan.

　　"Old Master Chiao, why did you come here in person? If you want to see me, just call me and I'll come over." Seeing that Old Master Chiao came to look for him in person, Declan hurriedly invited Old Master Chiao to have a seat in the office.

　　Old Master Chiao's face was full of smiles, and he was grinning from ear to ear. After this event, the Chiao's Hospital had risen to a higher position in the medical field of the entire Seashore City. Even Springhill Hospital in the city was beginning to fall behind Chiao's Hospital. All these were credited to Declan. Old Master Chiao felt that it was a very wise decision to recruit Declan to the hospital.

　　"Declan, I came here to give you the keys. I heard from Susan that the place where you live now is very far away from the hospital, and the environment is not that conducive, so the hospital has prepared an apartment for you, just around the corner, and there's also a car." Old Master Chiao said and gave a bunch of keys to Declan.

　　Declan did not expect Old Master Chiao to gift him a house and a car. He quickly refused politely, "Old Master Chiao, you are too generous. This is what I should do as a doctor. I really can't accept your gifts."

　　Old Master Chiao laughed and said, "Declan, this is the perks given by the hospital. All doctors will enjoy it according to their positions. You don't have to be so modest. From today onwards, you will be the deputy director of the emergency department with an annual salary of two million yuan."

　　He was promoted with a salary increment, had a house, and even a car, this was exactly the definition of success. Two days ago, Declan was just abandoned by his materialistic girlfriend and was fired by the hospital. He could not even retrieve his salary. He was a poor boy without a future. All of this just changed too fast.

　　Next, Old Master Chiao took Declan to the conference room and announced Declan's new position to all the doctors in the emergency department. Except for Hudson, all the other people in the conference room were very enthusiastic about it. Many of them heard Declan's interview just now. Declan did not take credit for himself and instead, gave all the merits to everyone, which left them a good impression of him.

　　After Old Master Chiao left, Declan could not help but secretly ran out to take a look at his new car. It was an Audi A4! This was already a very good car for Declan, who came from a village.

　　But now there was another problem, Declan did not have any money at all! He could not even pay for petrol. He did not manage to get his salary when he left Sky Hope Hospital. He had only worked at the Chiao Hospital for two days. Although it was said that his annual salary was two million yuan, it was not payday yet.

　　So Declan went to the office to look for Susan. He had already thought about it last night. He decided to ask Susan if he could get part of his salary in advance so that he could take care of Ivanna and pay off her debts for her.

　　In Susan's office, Old Master Chiao looked at his precious granddaughter with a smile and said, "Susan, grandpa has done what you asked me to do. You said that you wanted to give Declan an apartment and car, yet you let me, this old man, go and give the key to him. Don't tell me you like Declan?"

　　"Grandpa, what are you talking about? How is it possible for me to like him! Isn't it the welfare of our hospital to assign an apartment and a car to employees?" Susan whined to her grandfather in a spoiled tone. If other people saw how the usually elegant and cold female director acted like a spoiled child, their jaws would definitely drop.

　　Old Master Chiao continued to say seriously, "Declan is not bad. He has excellent medical skills, a good heart, and he is a righteous person. Today's interview also showed how open-minded and generous he was. He didn't ask for any credits nor did he take pride in himself. It would be great if he could be my grandson-in-law."

　　The more Old Master Chiao said, the more satisfied he was with Declan being his grandson-in-law. He almost thought it was going to happen.

　　At the side, Susan's face turned red. Although Susan was a very hardworking woman and she appeared to be a cold leader, she was actually very inexperienced in relationships. Especially when she discussed this with her grandfather, it made her shy.

　　What's more, she was a rich and beautiful girl who had returned from studying abroad and had a double master's degree in both medicine and management. How could she fall in love with Declan, the rogue? The way he looked at her showed that he was obviously not a good person.

　　But she did not know why, ever since Declan showed his miraculous medical skills, Susan felt a little strange. She really wanted to ask Declan what was going on with his medical skills, which did not conform to the medical principles of modern science at all. But after that, her grandfather told her not to ask him too much about it.

　　Traditional Medical was very profound. When Old Master Chiao was younger, he had seen a lot of experts who knew how to use their inner energy to cure diseases. All these people had their own unique characteristics, and it was counterproductive to ask them too many questions.

　　"Old Master Chiao, Director, Mr. Lin is here." Susan's assistant walked into the office at this time and said to them.

　　"What is he doing here?" Susan frowned and asked.

　　Old Master Chiao stood up with a smile and said very understandingly, "You guys have the discussion. I won't be the third wheel anymore. Hehe, my granddaughter is going to be in a relationship."

　　When Susan heard the last sentence, she gagged. Who wants to be together with that rogue?

　　Declan walked into the office and saw Susan looking at him with an unfriendly face. Declan was confused and thought to himself, "How did I offend this devil again?"

　　"Director Chiao, I want to ask if I can get some salary in advance?" Declan did not intend to waste time talking to this woman. They were just too different, whether it was status or others. So although Susan was very beautiful, Declan did not harbor any thoughts towards her. Since she did not really like him as well, Declan did not want to be annoying. He intended to leave after settling his own matter.

　　"An advance salary? Didn't the hospital give you an apartment and a car? You don't need too much money for the time being, do you?" Susan frowned slightly and said to Declan in a cold tone.

　　Declan really did not understand how this woman's brain worked. Did he no need to eat if he was assigned an apartment and a car?

　　"Director Chiao, the apartment and the car can't be eaten. I can't treat my patients with an empty stomach, can I?" Declan said.

　　Susan thought about it and agreed with him. She knew that Declan used to work in a small hospital. Furthermore, Declan usually wore very simple clothes and lived in a remote town, so he must have lived on a tight budget.

　　"How much do you want to advance?" Susan asked Declan.

　　"Fifty thousand?" Declan tried to test the waters. It took him a long time to decide on this figure. He had only worked for two days, and now he was asking his employer to pay him fifty thousand yuan in advance. It seemed a little too much. But Declan also thought about it. Now that he had an annual salary of two million yuan, it was not a big deal to ask for fifty thousand yuan in advance, was it? Besides, if he wanted to help Ivanna, he would need at least fifty thousand yuan.

　　Susan frowned and felt a little angry. She did not know why she was angry. When Declan said fifty thousand yuan, she immediately thought of the woman he had saved last night. That woman seemed to owe others money. If it was just daily expenses, Declan certainly would not need fifty thousand yuan. He was going to help that woman.

　　"Declan, the hospital has its own rules, and has never paid the employees in advance. If you need money, I can borrow you ten thousand yuan personally. This money is enough for you to survive until you get your pay at the end of the month." Susan said to Declan seriously.

　　"Ten thousand yuan? That's not enough, Director Chiao. Your family has a big business. fifty thousand is just the equivalent of a few meals for you. You don't have to be so stingy, right?" Declan frowned. Although he did not know how much Ivanna owed to those people, ten thousand would definitely be not enough to pay back. It was useless.

　　"Declan, you want to borrow money to help that woman last night, right? I think, as a man, you'd better do things according to your might. Don't try to act like a hero. It's very shallow to want to pay for someone just because of her looks. And looking at her, a woman owing so much money to some gangsters, I think she may not be as good as you think." Susan looked serious and said to Declan. She was really angry because she felt that Declan was too stupid.
