Attack of the Residents (4)
MHC Office.
Parker was sitting on the sofa and talking with William, the manager of the administrative department.
“We would like to report the damage caused by this fire. Half of the rooms on the first basement floor were damaged by the fire, and no casualties were found. However, it appears that compensation for damages to passengers’ belongings, etc., cannot be avoided.”
“You mean there were no casualties?”
“There are some injuries, but they are currently receiving treatment in the hospital room.”
“Which patient was transported to the ground?”
“As expected, there is none.”
“That’s it then.”
A happy smile appeared on Parker’s lips.
Although there was a fire, there was no significant damage to MHC’s finances.
First of all, the fire damage could be compensated through insurance, and the repair costs for the rented cruise ship seemed to be less expensive than expected.
Isn’t this a cruise check-up for $5,000 per passenger?
Even if you pay for the repair costs, it is still profitable.
This was the reason why he pushed for medical examination even while ignoring the opposition of those around him.
“Vice hospital director. “How should we compensate passengers?”
“Schedule an appointment for Cruise’s checkup again in a year. Since it’s a $5,000 checkup, there’s no one who wouldn’t like it. “If someone refuses, we will compensate them the corresponding amount.”
“All right.”
William nodded and changed the topic.
“I never dreamed I would encounter a reef like this during a cruise inspection. The number of reservations was slowly increasing through word of mouth… I guess this fire will have a big impact, right?”
“I guess not?”
“Well… what do you mean?”
“Surprisingly, this may be a good opportunity to promote our screening. The process of extinguishing the fire was not bad and, above all, there were no casualties at all. “In fact, it can be evaluated as a reliable examination.”
Parker continued calmly.
“What was the name of our hospital reporter at ABD station?”
“This is Samuel.”
“okay. Contact Samuel and ask him to write a detailed article. About Mr. Choi jumping into the fire scene to save a passenger, having surgery for a ruptured testicle, and the process of extinguishing the fire. “To make ourselves stand out as much as possible.”
“I will contact you right away.”
William answered and looked at Parker.
The word that comes to mind when looking at him is resourceful.
Parker had an extraordinary talent for manipulating people around him and getting things done according to his will.
The same was true for this fire incident.
An ordinary person would have been pessimistic about the situation and had a hard time coming up with a plan.
However, Parker thought of this situation as an opportunity and was preparing for a media play.
This is where you can see that the distribution is unique.
‘Well, I guess he was promoted to deputy hospital director the fastest time ever.’
William smiled bitterly inwardly.
What would have happened to MHC if this extraordinary mind had thought of patients instead of just trying to make money?
I couldn’t help but think about that.
“By the way, this guy named Mr. Choi is really great.”
“You mean Mr. Choi?”
“yes. Today is the first time I’ve seen him in person after hearing rumors… but he seems like a very strong friend. If you look at the lecture in the afternoon, he spoke well and a thoracic surgeon even assisted in a testicular rupture surgery. “And wouldn’t he jump into the fire to save the passengers?”
“….”
“I’ve seen good doctors and bad doctors, doctors who only think about themselves, doctors who only care about their patients, and many other doctors, but this is the first time I’ve seen a doctor like this.”
“It’s a huge mutation. “Both in terms of skills and personality.”
“But shouldn’t this guy be kicked out? “If he grows up just a little bit, he might threaten the deputy hospital director.”
“I know that. But…”
Parker paused before continuing.
“I can’t easily let go of a rice cake that I can’t eat just because it looks big. “It keeps flashing in my eyes.”
“That is unbecoming of a vice hospital director. “The vice hospital director I know is a person who is like a sword in everything he does.”
“Isn’t even a knife blunt sometimes?”
Parker burst out laughing.
“Anyway, why are you under me?”
“….”
“I understand that your goals and mine are completely opposite.”
“Wh…what do you mean? I am the vice hospital director’s eternal left arm. “My goal is to nourish MHC according to the vice hospital director’s wishes.”
“That’s right.”
“Please believe me.”
“Hmm… Among people. Very rarely, there are people who take the position of evildoers. “He’s a kind and considerate person, but he’s the type of person who does bad things on purpose.”
William swallowed his dry saliva at Parker’s words.
“Maybe it’s because I’m not good enough, but I don’t know what the vice hospital director means. “If you’re a good person, there’s no need to do bad things, right?”
“That’s it. Because I know that the world is not easy. The world. The more money you have and the higher your status, the more selfish people there are. lets think. “Where did all that money and status come from?”
“….”
“They are all made up from others. So, it means that the higher up you are, the more likely you are to squeeze other people to enrich yourself. And some good people who realized this structure jumped into it themselves. “That’s the evil person I was talking about.”
“…okay.”
“why? “Do you feel uncomfortable talking about yourself?”
“no. “I was just surprised by the new insight I gained.”
“This is why I like you. “Because I am capable enough to hide my emotions even at this moment.”
Parker continued the conversation with a rotten smile.
“But you will find out someday. “No matter how much they try to be evil, ultimately they cannot change the system in which the superiors squeeze out the inferiors.”
“That’s what I want.”
“Kkkkkkkkkk. I guess I’ll say that now. “If I think about today’s conversation later, I’m sure I’ll kick the blanket.”
“Then what do you think of Mr. Choi, Deputy Hospital Director?”
“I don’t know how you will take it, but I think of you as a rival.”
“A rival? “You’re a rival to the vice hospital director when it comes to residency… aren’t you overestimating it?”
“no. “You underestimate Mr. Choi.”
After a moment of silence, William opened his mouth.
“Vice hospital director. Have you ever heard of CKS Company?”
“well? “Is this your first time hearing this?”
“This is a company that is encroaching on MHC Clinic’s shares. “The recent share price increase rate is higher than that of any other investment company.”
“What does this company do?”
“I’m having a hard time not being able to figure it out. It appears to be a new investment company, but its financial strength is better than expected. “We are also purchasing some James Hopkins stocks.”
“Hmm… Does it seem hostile to the MHC?”
“I don’t think so. “If that were the case, I would have expressed my opinion at the general shareholders’ meeting.”
“It’s a CKS company… It doesn’t have a good feel to it… I have to tell the hospital director.”
“yes. “I think you’d better be careful.”
“I want to rest now. “Go out.”
“Take a good rest.”
After William left the office, he stared at the office door.
[By the way, why are you under me? I understand that your goals and mine are completely opposite.]
Parker’s words pierced his heart like a dagger.
I never thought he would have seen right through to that point. I was confident that I had fooled him, but….
“Mr. Choi. “If you are an enemy of an enemy, you can become an ally.”
William’s mumbling spread through the hallway.

That evening.
Choi Ki-seok was taking a long-awaited break in the treatment room.
After the fire broke out, there was a storm of patients.
Patients complaining of difficulty breathing, patients complaining of severe coughing, patients complaining of chest pain, etc. poured in like a flood.
Of course, none of them were seriously ill.
Most people sought medical treatment due to the psychological trauma they experienced from the fire.
Choi Ki-seok took a sip of canned coffee and leaned against the back of his chair.
When I thought back on what happened today, I only smiled bitterly.
Stopping a suicidal patient, surgery on a patient with a ruptured testicle, and even lifesaving and emergency treatment in a fire.
Spectacular incidents followed one after another.
I had to go through three events that would have been difficult for other people to experience even one in a single day.
‘what. Still, there is a reward.’
He nodded, opening a status window.
After completing the cursed cruise ship mission, I received a rather sweet reward.
First, the Heart Conductor skill I received from my teacher has grown by one level.
[Heart Conductor Lv.2]
– The success rate of heart surgery increases significantly regardless of whether it is a child or an adult.
– As the level increases, the surgery success rate increases.
– There is a high probability that the Light of Return effect will be applied to the patient.
[Special effects insight: 30% chance of coming up with a solution to an emergency situation. The specific methods and diversity of solutions are proportional to the papers you have read. The number of activations is once per day.]
[Special Effects Master’s Touch: There is a 20% chance to absorb Song Myeong-jin’s surgical approach and surgical abilities and make them your own. The duration is 30 minutes.]
As the level increases, the Master’s Touch effect is added.
The master’s touch had the groundbreaking function of being able to temporarily borrow the teacher’s ability. There was no doubt that it would be of great help in future surgeries.
Second, a new title was obtained.
[Giggles, hohoho]
– It’s thrilling. It’s always fun. Having fun is the best.
– Your sense of humor has greatly improved, allowing you to lead the conversation. There is only a 30% chance that a joke will be triggered, freezing the atmosphere.
The third thing I got was a Legend Gem.
Unlike other gems, the Legend Gem had a golden color and had the incredible effect of increasing the duration of all skills by 10%.
I had a hard day, but I would say I was well rewarded.
Choi Ki-seok, who was checking the status window, left the treatment room and walked down the hallway.
Unlike other times, the treatment room and hospital room were full of people. However, most of these were staff, not passengers.
A fire broke out in a cabin on the first basement floor, leaving passengers without a place to sleep.
As a result, a serious situation unfolded where staff moved to the treatment room and hospital room and passengers used staff-only rooms.
Soon, Choi Ki-seok entered the hospital room located at the end of the hallway.
Drurr.
“Mr. Choi. “Are you here?”
“Are you awake already?”
“ah. yes.”
“How are you feeling?”
“It’s okay except for the heavy limbs.”
Justin smiled weakly, and Lindsey, who was next to him, got up and approached Ki-Seok Choi.
“Dr. Choi. thank you so much. “Thanks to you, Justin got out of trouble.”
“I just did what I had to do. “Justin is getting married next month, and I can’t make him a eunuch.”
“But ah… there won’t be any problems in the future, right?”
“yes. There were no abnormalities in the ultrasound taken after surgery. “After the examination, you will only need to visit the outpatient clinic a few times.”
“Phew… I’m glad.”
Lindsey sighed in relief.
“I’m late to say hello too. Thank you, Dr. Choi.”
“you’re welcome. And I think Justin is even more amazing for overcoming the pain of being a man?”
“I definitely thought I was going to die at that time. My hair suddenly turned white and my whole body felt tingly as if I had been struck by lightning. “It must have been ten times the pain that Dr. Choi knows.”
“Ugh… I don’t even want to imagine.”
“Same.”
The two people looked at each other and burst into laughter.
It was a leisure that could only be had after the whole situation was over.
“Dr. Choi. There’s nothing I can do to repay you… “If you need help, please contact me.”
“I didn’t ask Justin for help.”
“i know. But please consider my position as well. “I feel uncomfortable when I send my benefactor away empty-handed. Lindsey, please take the business card out of my wallet.”
“okay.”
Lindsey took something out of her purse on Justin’s behalf and handed it to him.
It is one business card.
[Justin, Franklin Templer Senior Financial Manager]
