Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 433 - 368: Owing a Favor (2)

All beings suffer!

"I understand what Reporter Wei means."

Zhao Heng nodded and said, Wei Wei’s meaning is already very clear. There are just too many people like this, and it’s impossible for reporters to cover everyone.

"I understand what Dr. Zhao means; you want to use the media to apply pressure, hoping the delivery platform will compensate the rider. But to be honest, similar things have already been done before. Nowadays, delivery platforms have resolved their legal issues and are no longer as afraid of the media and public opinion as they used to be."

Wei Wei said slowly.

As the saying goes, there’s nothing new under the sun. Whatever issues you encounter, others have probably encountered and thought of it too.

There have been cases before where a delivery rider got injured, and the platform completely ignored it, leading the rider to sue them in court. Such cases have occurred, but since the platform was well-prepared legally, winning the lawsuit and getting compensation is very rare.

Hearing Wei Wei’s words, Zhao Heng was a bit silent. He knew Wei Wei was speaking the truth. Nowadays, people are very adept at using the media. For large companies, they have dedicated PR and legal departments precisely to handle such disputes.

"In fact, in recent years, disputes between delivery riders and company platforms or distribution service companies due to labor relationships have become quite common. Especially after a workplace accident involving a rider, these conflicts tend to escalate further."

"Strictly speaking, even if the riders and platforms cannot be recognized as having an employment relationship, once a work-related injury occurs, the platform should still bear some responsibility. This is in line with the legal expectations for protecting workers’ rights."

Seeing Zhao Heng suddenly silent, Wei Wei spoke again.

She knew that someone as pure as Zhao Heng, who focused so intensely on his profession, sometimes found it hard to accept these trivial worldly matters. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

However, Wei Wei really admired this persistence and integrity. In this world, there are countless slick and worldly people, but those who stick to their principles are very rare.

"Thank you, Reporter Wei, for the explanation."

After a brief silence, Zhao Heng spoke slowly.

In fact, he was a bit caught up in this matter, and perhaps had too high expectations. Liu Ziang wasn’t much better, thinking of finding a great reporter to expose this issue and apply some public pressure on the platform company to offer more compensation. This kind of thinking might have worked before, but now it’s somewhat naive.

"Dr. Zhao, since you asked, I will follow up on this report. At the very least, it will make it to an evening news highlight, but how effective it will be, that’s hard to say. These large companies are really tough to deal with nowadays."

"My suggestion is still for the rider’s family to directly sue the platform company, applying pressure through legal means. With media coverage, it might have some effect."

Wei Wei said very seriously. To be honest, if it were anyone else, she wouldn’t have had the time to deal with it. In today’s world, news about delivery riders getting injured while delivering food has almost lost its news value.

Compared to these social news, people are more concerned about how to get by during the cold economic winter we’re experiencing.

If people can’t fill their stomachs, they won’t have time to care about social news.

"Then, on behalf of the patient’s family, thank you, Reporter Wei."

Hearing Wei Wei say this, Zhao Heng felt a lot better.

But he thought again, this matter was entirely because Wei Wei looked up to Zhao Heng. If it were anyone else facing such a situation, it would really be hopeless.

Reflecting on it, Wei Wei was already being very considerate. An evening news highlight is something a lot of people watch, and it would cause some ripples.

"I still have to give face to you, Director Zhao."

Wei Wei smiled and said.

She clarified that she’s handling this issue and getting it onto the evening news highlight entirely because of Zhao Heng.

Contemporary elite women handle matters directly, without beating around the bush.

To put it bluntly, everyone’s time and energy are precious and work is busy as it is, who has time for those intricate, back-and-forth routines?

"... I’ll treat you to a meal..."

Hearing Wei Wei say this, Zhao Heng suddenly felt at a loss about how to reciprocate.

When dealing with someone so straightforward, Zhao Heng found himself at a bit of a loss.

To be honest, ever since being with Xu Man Ni, he hadn’t thought about such things. For him, since his relationship issues were resolved, there’s no need to spend more time on it.

If he wanted, there would be plenty of opportunities.

"You asked me to help you, so treating me to a meal is only right..."

Wei Wei smiled, seemingly finding Zhao Heng’s slightly embarrassed demeanor quite amusing.

Having seen countless tricks used by men pursuing her, she found Zhao Heng’s reaction more interesting.

Modern society is broad-minded and diverse; men and women don’t need to be just friends or partners.

Saying it’s either friendship or a relationship is a bit too narrow.

Especially those with good conditions have multiple choices.

"Besides eating and treating patients, wouldn’t Reporter Wei not want to go to the hospital every day, right?"

Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said.

His greatest value, after all, is being a highly skilled doctor. As for being handsome, as an experienced media professional, Wei Wei must have seen all kinds of handsome men.

He’s not some irresistible heartthrob; about this, Zhao Heng is quite self-aware.

"Besides eating and treating patients, can’t there be something else?"

Wei Wei said with a smile.

"Something else?"

Hearing this, Zhao Heng was a bit dumbfounded.

Could it be that Wei Wei was interested in his physique?

It’s somewhat unlikely; for someone like Wei Wei, a big-shot reporter, she must have interviewed countless stars and artists, who are definitely better looking than Zhao Heng.

After all, no matter how naturally gifted, a certain level of packaging is needed.

"Alright, seeing how nervous you are, let’s talk about it once I think of something. But Dr. Zhao, you’d better remember."

Wei Wei smiled slightly as she said.

"Alright."

Zhao Heng could only nod, already cursing Liu Ziang in his heart. Look at the trouble you got me into, owing someone a favor for nothing. If I had to offer myself, should I or shouldn’t I?

Soon after, the two had a meal, and Wei Wei, being quick and decisive, called the cameraman and went with Zhao Heng to the neurosurgery department.

Inside the ward, Wei Wei was interviewing, while outside, Liu Ziang gave a thumbs up to Zhao Heng.

"Junior, you’re impressive, to call such a big reporter over at will."

Liu Ziang smiled and said.

"You’re the one to talk. I now owe her a favor, and I still don’t know how to repay it."

Zhao Heng replied with some frustration.

"At worst, offer yourself. Look how pretty Reporter Wei is, you wouldn’t be losing out."

Liu Ziang joked. In today’s open society, especially among male surgeons, many are quite liberal.

Although Liu Ziang doesn’t have a girlfriend, it doesn’t mean he lives a completely puritan life.

It just means he’s more selective and has higher standards.

After all, who doesn’t like having fun?

"Senior, do you think I’m that kind of person?"

Zhao Heng shot a glare at Liu Ziang and said.

"Enjoy life while you can. You’re sticking to Xu Man Ni alone; you’re kind of missing out."

Liu Ziang laughed and said.
