Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 432 - 368: Owing a Favor

Returning to the Assistant Manager’s office, Zhao Heng took out his phone and sent Wei Wei a WeChat message.

[Are you there?]

Zhao Heng sent an old-fashioned message to Wei Wei.

[Here]

At that moment, Wei Wei was sitting in her office writing an article. Seeing Zhao Heng’s WeChat message, she immediately picked up her phone and replied instantly, abandoning her writing.

[Do you have time? I want to discuss something with you.]

Zhao Heng thought for a moment and decided to get straight to the point. In his impression, Wei Wei wasn’t the type of woman to beat around the bush.

Zhao Heng had seen how Wei Wei worked, and it was incredibly decisive and efficient.

[Sure, when?]

Seeing Zhao Heng’s message, Wei Wei was somewhat surprised but also felt a bit expectant. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

After all, Zhao Heng hadn’t contacted her much lately, and without a valid reason, she found it hard to contact him.

Seeing Wei Wei’s straightforward reply, Zhao Heng breathed a sigh of relief and agreed with her to have lunch near the hospital to discuss the matter.

Soon, it was twelve noon.

In a restaurant, Zhao Heng and Wei Wei sat face to face by the window.

Today, Wei Wei still looked very competent and professional, with an exquisite makeup, fair skin, a high ponytail, and a sophisticated women’s suit, paired with black high heels, making her look extremely imposing, undeniably a strong woman!

"Director Zhao, how come you suddenly have time to find me?"

Sitting across from Zhao Heng, Wei Wei raised her cup and took a small sip, speaking slowly.

As an elite journalist and seasoned media professional, Wei Wei had met countless young talents, but none gave her the same feeling as Zhao Heng.

This unique feeling, how should it be put, is a very special and mysterious vibe. With Wei Wei’s woman’s sixth sense, she always felt Zhao Heng was shrouded in a huge mist, and what he showed was just a trivial part of it.

Because of this, when Zhao Heng mentioned he had something to discuss with her, Wei Wei immediately set aside her current work and came racing to meet him.

"Uh... even you know about it..."

Zhao Heng didn’t expect that even Wei Wei knew about him becoming Assistant Manager.

"Of course, the youngest Assistant Manager doctor in Eastern Hospital’s history, you’re quite famous now."

Wei Wei smiled and said.

She wasn’t just flattering; Zhao Heng was indeed quite popular in certain circles.

At least, he had become a great example for young struggling medical students, and the power of being such an example was immense.

"By the way, what’s the reason for asking me here today?"

After a pause, Wei Wei curiously asked.

She knew very well that as an experienced journalist and media professional, she had significant influence in certain fields, and many people sought her help. However, typically, she refrained from interfering excessively in certain matters.

Guiding public opinion deliberately can quickly achieve certain goals, but one must also be cautious to avoid backlash from it.

In this aspect, Wei Wei, as a journalist, had always been very careful.

"It’s about an injured delivery worker."

Zhao Heng slowly began explaining.

Five minutes later, Zhao Heng had basically finished describing the situation of the delivery guy.

After finishing, Zhao Heng looked at Wei Wei, though he was somewhat uncertain if Wei Wei would be interested in handling this matter. In Zhao Heng’s view, Wei Wei likely had a sense of justice and wanted to take action.

But the fact is, journalists do choose which stories to cover.

Although the primary integrity for journalists like Wei Wei is to be objective and fair, achieving this during actual reporting is extremely challenging.

Journalists with significant backgrounds and abilities like Wei Wei can report stories other journalists dare not touch.

As for other journalists, borrowing a line from a movie: for just a few hundred bucks a month, who risks their life!

Although hundreds have now become thousands, not everyone can risk offending powerful interest groups just for a monthly salary of a few thousand.

"Actually, the platform requiring delivery riders to register as individual businesses has long been accepted in the industry. Legally speaking, it’s tough to get compensation or reimbursement once a rider gets injured."

Rather than outright refusing, Wei Wei began explaining the insider secrets of the delivery industry. These secrets are essentially the unwritten rules of the trade - a way to minimize risk and reduce costs.

Wei Wei, as an elite journalist, was undoubtedly aware of these industry norms. There had been reports on delivery platforms forcing riders to register as individual businesses before joining, and relevant departments had issued policies to curb this behavior.

But given the current employment environment, one might say joining the delivery rider industry requires connections and acquaintances to get in amidst such a backdrop.

Delivery platforms were incredibly domineering, adhering to one principle: [If you don’t want it, plenty more will!]

This saying applies across many industries.

With Wei Wei’s explanation, Zhao Heng understood this situation with the delivery guy wasn’t unique; he wasn’t the only one. It just happened that this guy encountered Liu Ziang and Zhao Heng.
