Chapter 229 Hongmen Banquet

"Alright! What are you all doing gathered here? What kind of behavior is this? Don't you all have work to do?" Liu Xiaofeng saw Jiang Chengcheng looking troubled in the middle and quickly stopped everyone's behavior.

Seeing their dean lose his temper, everyone could only take one last, reluctant look at Jiang Chengcheng before scattering like birds and beasts.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, you must have seen this. That's just how they are; they lose all sense of propriety when it comes to medicine." Liu Xiaofeng gave Jiang Chengcheng an apologetic smile, then seemed hesitant to speak further.

"Dean Liu, just say what you want to say directly." Jiang Chengcheng didn't like beating around the bush, so she went straight to the point.

"I wonder if Miss Jiang has time? The food in our cafeteria is the best in Beijing." Liu Xiaofeng didn't directly state his purpose, but judging from his expression, Jiang Chengcheng could guess that he probably had something to say.

“Okay.” Jiang Chengcheng did not refuse, after all, the Beijing Central Hospital had helped her in some ways.

…………

Jiang Chengcheng and Liu Xiaofeng went to the hospital's staff canteen. It was already after get off work hours, and many medical staff were gathered around getting their meals.

However, Liu Xiaofeng did not take her to the main canteen, but instead led her to a private room after turning left and right. There were several elderly people sitting inside, whom she did not recognize except for Wu Anshun.

"Miss Jiang, Dean, you've arrived." Wu Anshun, the only person present who recognized Jiang Chengcheng, quickly stood up to greet them.

Having served as the hospital's vice president for so long, he naturally knew why Liu Xiaofeng had brought Jiang Chengcheng here, but those around him were less clear about it, so he had to speak up and remind them.

Everyone present was shrewd. When they saw Wu Anshun call Jiang Chengcheng's name before their own dean and personally go to greet her, they immediately realized that this person's background was even more powerful than their own dean's. So they quickly got up to greet her along with Wu Anshun.

"Vice Dean Wu, you're too kind. I haven't had a chance to thank you yet." Jiang Chengcheng smiled and nodded at Wu Anshun's humble demeanor, but made no further comment.

It seemed this was no ordinary dinner party. Jiang Chengcheng secretly glanced at the name tags on the group of people. Almost all the well-known leaders, experts, and professors from the Beijing Central Hospital were gathered here.

Jiang Chengcheng had been wondering why the president of Beijing Central Hospital would invite people to dinner in his own hospital cafeteria; it seemed rather stingy. Now, seeing the people gathered here, she understood.

"This place is a bit shabby, not as nice as a fancy restaurant. Please make do with this, Miss Jiang. I'll definitely treat you to something better another day!" Liu Xiaofeng said with a smile, politely pulling out a seat facing the door and gesturing for Jiang Chengcheng to sit down.

"Please take this seat. I'm just here to freeload, so whoever is paying should sit here," Jiang Chengcheng joked, pulling out the seat next to her and politely declining Liu Xiaofeng's offer.

As for why Jiang Chengcheng didn't take the main seat, it wasn't simply because of modesty. As the president of Beijing Central Hospital, Liu Xiaofeng's refusal to take the position was just one reason.

However, the main reason was that Liu Xiaofeng's expression was too polite, so polite that it felt like he was hiding something sinister. Coupled with the presence of this group of big shots, the scene was almost like a trap.

Of course! This is just a metaphor. Jiang Chengcheng doesn't think Liu Xiaofeng has any bad intentions. His expression at this moment is more like that of a customer at a vegetable stall, who is being polite before haggling and ripping you off.

There is a very apt saying among Chinese people: "To ask for something, you must first give something in return."

"Oh! You should sit! You're a guest! We have to take good care of you! Don't worry! The meal is on me!" Liu Xiaofeng gestured for Jiang Chengcheng to sit in the main seat. Although he had a slight intention to negotiate, he was mostly drawn to Minister Liang's attitude towards Jiang Chengcheng.

Judging from the girl's eager demeanor and manner, her identity was definitely not simple! Liu Xiaofeng had neither the confidence nor the courage to sit in front of her if the minister of China's medical administration treated him this way!

"Um...you're too kind. It's not right for the host to be in a subordinate position." Jiang Chengcheng didn't expect Liu Xiaofeng to think so much. She wanted to decline again, but was surrounded by everyone and sat down in the main seat.

Seeing the polite smiles on everyone's faces, Jiang Chengcheng thought that if she refused again, it would seem a bit deliberate, so she changed the subject.

"Didn't Dean Liu say that our hospital cafeteria is exceptional? I wonder what dishes they serve?" Jiang Chengcheng asked, picking up the menu from the table.

"Our hospital's corn and pork rib soup, stewed pig's trotters, and steamed sea bass are considered top-notch in Beijing! Many patients' families want to eat with them even if they're not hospitalized!" When Jiang Chengcheng asked this, Liu Xiaofeng's face immediately showed a proud expression, and his smugness was overflowing.

As for why he was so proud of a hospital cafeteria, it's probably because, in any city, especially in well-known top-tier hospitals, the food in their cafeterias is often not very tasty, even for the sake of health.

However, Beijing Central Hospital is quite the opposite. They were the first to propose the concept of integrating medical care and elderly care. Not only are the dishes rich, light and easy to digest, but they also taste top-notch. They also offer an extra medicinal food supplement every day. As long as the family members of patients hospitalized at Beijing Central Hospital rarely order takeout!

"Really? Then I'd like to try it." Jiang Chengcheng remained noncommittal upon hearing this.

In her previous life, Jiang Chengcheng paid close attention to various hospitals because of her cancer. Perhaps due to big data recommendations, she often saw recommendations for the cafeteria of Beijing Central Hospital on Douyin (TikTok). It was said that many medical experts were willing to become specially appointed because of the food benefits at Beijing Central Hospital.

Unfortunately, she didn't have any extra money to satisfy her appetite at that time, since she was already doing a great deal of effort just to stay alive.

Perhaps because this private room was a leadership table, the dishes were served exceptionally quickly. Looking at the table full of food, Jiang Chengcheng secretly marveled at how renowned the medical community's catering was; it certainly looked appetizing! Anyone who didn't know better would think it came from a five-star hotel!

"How does it taste? Miss Jiang, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Liu Xiaofeng asked with a smile after seeing Jiang Chengcheng take a bite of the steamed sea bass.

"It truly deserves to be called the best in Beijing." Jiang Chengcheng praised sincerely.

"Eat as much as you like. I'll have Lao Wu bring you an employee card later. It'll be free from now on. Come and eat anytime you want!" Liu Xiaofeng said in a grand manner, then secretly winked at Wu Anshun beside him.

“Yes! Miss Jiang, feel free to come anytime! I have an employee card right here, please take it!” Wu Anshun received Liu Xiaofeng’s look and quickly handed over the meal card from his pocket.

Jiang Chengcheng saw this and didn't take it, secretly chuckling to herself, but her expression remained unchanged.

coming!

The real purpose is revealed.
