As long as you are willing to drink, things will be easy to handle.
Hou Biao didn't mention anything else, he only focused on persuading him to drink.
Deng Hua seemed to have a pretty good drinking capacity, but he couldn't resist Hou Biao's secretive tricks. He quickly drank enough and started talking.
"I'm not bragging to you, Mr. Liu, have you heard of Imperial Doctor Liu? Let me tell you, I used to be a servant of the Liu family, and I learned a lot of skills from Imperial Doctor Liu.
"Later, Mr. Liu passed away and the family sent away many servants. By chance, the Gaoshan family and I came to work for Mrs. Tong together.
"When I first came here, I was older than Gao Shan and more experienced than him, but for some reason, Mrs. Tong preferred to see Gao Shan and not me!
"Look now, everyone outside who knows Lady Tong and the hospital knows about Gao Shan, but if you go out and ask around, does anyone know about me, Deng Hua?
"Haha, I really can't figure out how in the world I, Deng Hua, can't compare to his Gaoshan..."
Hou Biao's eyes flashed when he heard that he finally got to the point. He deliberately pretended to be drunk and said with disdain: "Oh, if you ask me, you don't need to start bragging as soon as you drink some wine. Do you understand the glorious history of the past? Do you not mention the bravery of heroes?
"Even if you have worked with Dr. Liu, even if you were more capable than Gao Shan when you first came here, so what? You are already an old man!
"Look at you now. In the entire Wuchang Prefecture, who doesn't know Gao Shan, but who knows you, Deng Hua?"
As expected, Deng Hua was so aroused that she slammed the wine cup on the table and said, "Humph! You know nothing! That's because Mrs. Tong is too blind to recognize Taishan. It's her own loss!"
"Mrs. Tong has good medical skills and a great reputation. If you have more of you, it won't be more. If you have less of you, it won't be more. What's the loss?"
Deng Hua burped, grabbed the jug, poured himself a full glass of wine, and after a sip he said: "Well, that Gao Shan, because of his eloquence, and his daughter Gao Xiu'er is also very good at speaking. They knew how to sneak into the camp and coaxed Lady Tong to be very partial to them!
"I'm afraid you won't believe it if I tell you. Now if you want to see Mrs. Tong for medical treatment, you have to give Gao Shan gifts and money."
Hou Biao was stunned when he heard this. He really hadn't heard about this news. He asked in surprise: "Is it true or false? He dares to do this blatantly when Lady Tong is still here?"
"Now my wife is so coaxed by them that she will listen to him in everything! When she was in Yongzhou Prefecture, she would still come to the medical center a few days a month to treat the people.
"But now, from the time it opened until now, my wife has never come to the hospital to see a doctor once.
"Now the whole family is a big celebrity in the eyes of Madam Tong. Let alone receiving gifts and money, even if he goes too far, Madam Tong will bear the burden for him...
"Also, Gao Shan's ambitions are huge. Do you think he accepts gifts from everyone? If you are not a rich and powerful person, you can't even find a way to give gifts!"
"He still claims to be doing his best to my wife and is afraid that she will be tired. I really feel sick when I see him now!"
After Deng Hua said this, he couldn't help but quietly reflect on whether he had gone too far.
However, Hou Biao seemed a little excited, as if he finally knew some secret.
"I originally thought Mrs. Tong was a nice person after listening to what people outside said, but I didn't expect she would be like this behind closed doors?"
"Isn't that right?" Deng Hua took another sip of wine and lowered his voice, "How do you think those people outside knew about my wife? In fact, a large part of it was spread through Gao Shan.
"He did this beautifully and made my wife famous, so she thinks he is even more good and she doesn't like me at all times.
"I just made a small mistake recently, but she fined me my monthly payment in front of everyone, and asked me to clean the warehouse. I, I am already old, and in front of my wife and children, you said... ...Where can I put my old face!"
"Brother Deng, with your character and ability, it doesn't matter that Mrs. Tong doesn't think highly of you, but she still asks you to clean the warehouse with such an overqualified and underqualified person? This is too bullying!" Hou Biao continued following his words.
Deng Hua suddenly changed his expression and said, "You, you know nothing!"
Hou Biao took a deep breath and thought that he shouldn't argue with the drunkard, let alone get words from him!
"Brother Deng, how would I know if you don't tell me!"
"Actually, my wife still trusts me. What she asked me to clean is not an ordinary warehouse..."
"A warehouse is a warehouse, what's the difference between the two?" Hou Biao continued to irritate Deng Hua with his words.
Sure enough, Deng Hua immediately became excited, patted the table and said, "That is the warehouse where Madam Tong stores medical records. It is the lifeblood of the entire medical center..."
"Tch! What's the use of a warehouse where medical records are stored? Isn't it still a warehouse? It's just that I let you go because I trust you!
"Hahaha, Brother Deng, don't put yourself in such a good light, this is just because I don't want to see you, I'm too embarrassed to send you away, and I'm trying to tease you in every possible way!
"Instead of doing this, you might as well go to another medical clinic to find a way out. She is not the only medical clinic in Wuchang Prefecture."
"What do you know? Madam Tong is in hot demand right now, and she has the support of the Prince's Palace. How could anyone offend me for her?" Deng Hua said, taking another sip of wine and sighing, "I'm thinking about it now. How can we not live a good life! The worst I could do was to guard the warehouse, and I was happy and free! "
He spoke happily, but his expression and tone were full of reluctance.
But when Hou Biao heard the words "Prince's Palace", his heart could not help but start beating wildly.
"The warehouse you are talking about holds the medical records. Are all the medical records of the patients handled by Madam Tong stored in it? Doesn't it also contain the medical records of Prince Rui?" Hou Biao probed cautiously, "In that case, It’s indeed quite important, haha!”
"Okay, you don't need to comfort me anymore. I said it's important myself, just to flatter myself. Do you really believe it?"
Hou Biao narrowed his eyes, suddenly approached Deng Hua and asked in a low voice: "Are you really just going to spend the rest of your life in obscurity, leaving all your abilities useless?"
Deng Hua, who was half drunk, didn't pay attention to his words, glanced at him casually, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "What else? I'm already old, what else can I do?
"If you were young, the worst case scenario would be to start over somewhere else, and I wouldn't tolerate her nastiness.
"But now I have a family to take care of. Alas, what can I do? It's all forced by life!"
Hou Biao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and stared straight at him, his eyes naked as if he was looking at the prey that was about to be obtained.
"As long as you still have the courage, I will help you, how about it?"
