They thought Li Huaide was lying to everyone.
"Director Li, please don't try to comfort us. We know their situation is very serious. Just tell us the truth, and we can accept whatever the situation is."
"Is my man failing? If he is, you have to tell me. I want to go in and see him one last time."
"Waaah, what are we going to do? How could he just suddenly stop? Our family of six is all counting on him. If he's gone, how are we, a widow and her children, going to survive?"
Why did she suddenly start crying?
Li Huaide said excitedly, "How could I lie to you? They are really better now, lying inside perfectly fine."
"It was Dr. He who saved them. Don't you believe him? This is Dr. He's younger brother, He Yuzhu from our factory canteen. He can testify."
Sha Zhu patted his chest and assured everyone, "Don't worry, everyone is alright now. My older brother saved them, so please stop crying."
Still, nobody believed it.
Since He Hongyang was the one who saved the person, why doesn't he come out?
They don't recognize Li Huaide or Shazhu at all.
I only recognize He Hongyang!
"If you let Dr. He come out, we'll believe you. Otherwise, let us go in and see what's going on inside."
"Everyone, calm down. Dr. He is still busy inside, and if so many of you go in, it will disturb the patient's rest!"
“We don’t care. We only believe He Hongyang. We’ll only believe him if he comes out. Otherwise, we’ll keep waiting here, even if it takes days and nights, to see our families.”
184. He is the steel rolling mill's treasure!
What should we do?
Li Huaide realized that he couldn't appease these people at all.
He said to Sha Zhu, "Why don't you go in and call He Hongyang out? Everyone only believes him. Only if he comes out and explains will they listen."
Shazhu felt utterly useless.
He finally had a chance to show his face in public, but he didn't perform well.
I was just about to go in and call my older brother.
Then He Hongyang helped Liu Qiang out.
As soon as he came out, everyone wanted to surround him immediately.
Then they saw that Liu Qiang had also come out, and was standing perfectly fine in front of everyone.
They stared in shock, their mouths agape.
"Please don't crowd around, and don't go in and disturb the patient's rest. I am He Hongyang, and this is Liu Qiang from the security department."
"You have already seen his condition. He was the first to be poisoned and has been poisoned for the longest time. He has been classified as a critically ill patient by the hospital and will not live past tonight."
"But now he's standing right in front of you, all right. Now you should believe me, right? Since he's alright, your families are alright too."
Liu Qiang greeted everyone: "I can stand up now. Dr. He gave us medicine. We'll stay here for a few days to clear the remaining toxins from our bodies, and then we can go home."
"Now listen to Dr. He, leave here, go home and cook."
He not only stood up, but also spoke very clearly, and his thinking was very logical.
Although she still needed support, she was completely different from when she was lying unconscious in the hospital bed.
They believed it!
Joyful shouts came from among the people.
"That's great! He Hongyang really saved them. He was telling the truth. Since Liu Qiang is alright, then our families are alright too."
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go back to cook. They must be weak right now, which is why they don't want us to disturb them."
“You’re right. We should bring out everything we have at home and make sure they get a good recovery.”
"After I recover, I will take my whole family to Dr. He's house to thank him."
"This is a life-saving grace. He saved the lives of hundreds of people in the factory. We should remember such a great kindness for the rest of our lives."
"I want to tell my children that they should also study traditional Chinese medicine in the future so that they can save more people."
After thanking He Hongyang repeatedly, they all obediently went home.
After a few days in the hospital, everyone went home.
Cui Dake is currently being held in custody.
Although he didn't know that his cronies were enemy agents, and he didn't know that the five-spice powder was poisonous.
But it can still be considered indirect involvement in a crime.
Moreover, this was a major case involving the poisoning of hundreds of people, shocking the entire city of Beijing.
He'll probably spend the rest of his life in prison!
Fortunately, he was a temporary worker at the factory; otherwise, the steel rolling mill would have been held responsible for the incident.
Li Huaide and Factory Director Yang have been making self-criticisms everywhere these past few days.
Fortunately, thanks to He Hongyang, these people received timely treatment, and no one died or suffered any aftereffects.
They were lucky to escape greater punishment.
The higher authorities ordered the steel rolling mill to conduct a thorough internal investigation and to ensure that such an incident never happens again.
Yang Changchang and Li Huaide heard about this decision.
I immediately felt relieved.
“If our factory didn’t have He Hongyang, this would be a real problem. Why did we keep Cui Dake around in the first place? Weren’t we just leaving behind a menace?”
"Director Yang is right. Luckily we didn't make him a permanent employee. If we had, he would have been a regular employee at the steel rolling mill, and that would have dragged us down with him."
"We must keep reassuring the workers who were poisoned at the factory, let them rest well at home, and it doesn't matter if they come to work a few days later. We will give each of them an extra two yuan bonus this month as compensation."
"The factory will cover all hospital expenses. We must not let them pay a single penny, and we must not allow them to have any complaints."
Li Huaide reported, "The hospital said that He Hongyang came up with the treatment plan and he got the medicine, so he should pay for the medicine."
Factory Director Yang nodded and said, "It seems that Dean Liu has considered things very thoroughly. The medicine was indeed taken by He Hongyang. Did he get the medicine from the infirmary?"
"No, it's his own. He said he bought a batch in advance to store at home in case something happened to his family. He never expected it to come in handy."
Factory Director Yang nodded repeatedly: "He truly sacrifices his own family for the greater good, and puts the public interest before his own. If it weren't for him, if it weren't for his medicine, how many people would have lost their lives?"
"Call all the department heads and above in the factory to my office. We'll have a temporary meeting. The topic of the meeting is to discuss how to compensate He Hongyang for his medical expenses."
Li Huaide was eager to help He Hongyang get more rewards.
"Director Yang, I think this time, we should not only issue certificates and awards, but also give him a large sum of money, which should be allocated directly from the factory as special funds."
“You weren’t there at the time. At such a critical moment, He Hongyang stepped forward and said that he was the doctor at the steel rolling mill and that if anything happened, he would take full responsibility.”
"Everyone was moved by what he said. Think about it, so many doctors and hospital directors couldn't take responsibility, but he stood up and said those words. He really made our steel mill proud."
"Although we have been making self-criticisms everywhere these past few days, people from other units are incredibly envious of us, envious that our factory has someone like He Hongyang."
"Our factory will only contribute some money, but we will never forget He Hongyang's kindness!"
Factory Director Yang sighed and took a drag of his cigarette, saying, "Yes, where can you find such outstanding talent these days? Even you and I would have to treat him with utmost respect if we met him in the future."
"We must prevent the hospital and other affiliated units from poaching him. He's our factory's treasure, and we must protect him!"
"Yes, I'll take care of it right away."
Not only did the factory give him unprecedented rewards and honors.
Everyone else in the factory respected him immensely.
In their eyes, He Hongyang was their savior; without him, they wouldn't be alive and kicking now.
They kept calling him Dr. He.
I don't know how to express my gratitude.
The doctors and nurses in the infirmary were extremely grateful to him.
Without him, they probably would have lost their lives.
Every day when He Hongyang came to work, they would pour him water and hand him newspapers.
No matter who comes looking for me, I always ask them first.
"Dr. He is very busy right now. If it's a minor issue, please don't bother him."
"I know you want to express your gratitude to him, but this is the infirmary, his workplace. Please don't disturb Dr. He's work."
Ding Qiunan admired him even more!
In particular, he refused Dean Liu's invitation on the spot.
According to people at the hospital, Dean Liu saw that He Hongyang's medical skills were so superb and his character so upright, and wanted to groom him as his successor.
First, let him go to the hospital and become the director, and then let him mentor students, supporting him step by step.
As long as Dean Liu retires, the position of dean will undoubtedly belong to him in the future!
He Hongyang, however, did not care.
Many doctors working in factory medical offices hope that one day they can go to work in a hospital.
When Ding Qiunan first arrived, she felt that the factory medical office was too small and could not play a role here. Only by going to a large hospital could she truly show her skills.
But now she realizes she was completely wrong!
A true doctor should not care about the size of their stage.
Even a small stage can still play a significant role.
Isn't He Hongyang exactly like that!
Don't be fooled by the many department heads he had at the hospital; each of them was older and more experienced than him.
But they lacked his medical skills and, more importantly, his courage!
Her classmates have been calling her constantly these past few days, all asking about He Hongyang.
The news has gone viral in Beijing.
The name He Hongyang, like a dandelion seed, has spread to every corner of every hospital and medical school.
If it weren't for the fact that he worked at the steel mill...
If it weren't for Liu Qiang and the security personnel constantly blocking the way outside...
Everyone was eager to go into the steel mill's clinic and see him in person.
They had many questions they wanted to ask him.
Even just letting him recount what happened would be helpful!
Ding Qiunan felt extremely lucky.
She gets to see the people that others go through great lengths to see every day!
Ding Qiunan did not ask any further questions about what happened that day.
Because she knew that even if she studied for decades more, she would never reach He Hongyang's level.
If her previous goal was to go to medical school and become a doctor in a hospital, then...
So her current goal is to stay in the steel mill's clinic and be able to see He Hongyang every day, which will make her content!
The courtyard house has been bustling with activity these past few days, like a market day.
Unable to enter the factory to see He Hongyang, everyone flocked into the courtyard.
Some admired him and wanted to meet him.
Some people brought prescriptions, wanting to ask him for advice.
Most of them were family members of steel mill workers; he saved his own family members and was their savior.
These people came from all over Beijing.
