Chapter 6 Quanjude

  Seventeen textile factory workers and local residents were injured in the incident, which is believed to be a major event in Tengzhou City. The city is currently vigorously promoting reform, and the National Land Management Bureau has announced eight requirements for cultivating and developing the land market, mainly strengthening national monopolies on land use rights allocation, adhering to unified government planning, management, collective discussion, and "one pen" approval of land; further expanding the scope of state-owned land use rights allocation, standardizing allocation methods; gradually converting allocated land use rights used for business into paid use. When the incident occurred, the public security bureau chief rushed to the scene and handled it decisively, sending the injured not to nearby hospitals but to the Municipal People's Hospital. Half an hour later, important leaders from the municipal party committee arrived at the hospital, both to comfort the injured workers and to minimize the impact of the incident, compressing and suppressing it as much as possible, after all, this kind of thing is not beneficial for anyone if it gets out. Fortunately, twelve textile factory workers and five residents were not in life-threatening danger, and four seriously injured patients who underwent emergency rescue have also passed the critical period.

  Secretary Wang Donglin began a passionate speech in the emergency room, first affirming the rescue work of the Municipal People's Hospital, and then vigorously proclaiming the benefits of land reform and opening up. As he spoke, bathed in the flashing lights, Tang Xiaofeng furrowed his brow and turned back to the doctor's rest room.

  After the city leaders left, the reporters and interns who were watching finally dispersed one after another. It was already 11 o'clock in the morning, and the interns gathered in groups of three or five in the emergency hall, enthusiastically discussing what had happened today and the process they experienced in the emergency department today.

  "Xiao Feng!" Zhang Wei excitedly came to the rest room, "I've been looking for you all morning, how come you're in the rest room? Just now, the leaders outside were being interviewed by reporters, why didn't you go and join in on the excitement?" "What's there to see, it's just bureaucracy!" "If we stood a bit closer, who knows, maybe we'd even get photographed and make it into the newspaper!" Zhang Wei exclaimed. Tang Xiao Feng rolled his eyes and said nothing.

  Time flies when you're busy, and before I knew it, it was already late afternoon. Today, apart from the batch of patients this morning, another patient with a fracture came in this afternoon, but no other patients visited. Speaking of which, Director Zhu has been absent since he sent Tang Xiao Feng to the emergency department this morning, what an irresponsible mentor!

  He and Zhang Wei changed clothes and walked out of the emergency room. The sky was already pitch black, but the colorful lights of the hospital and the streetlights made people feel that every night would not be lonely. However, for Tang Xiaofeng, it felt a little lonely after all, in an unfamiliar city.

  But life is interesting precisely because it's constantly changing!

  Hearing Zhang Wei still muttering to himself about his experience in the emergency room today, he smiled faintly and took a big step forward: "Alright, don't get excited. What do you want to eat? I'll treat."

  "Haha, you said we're going to eat roast duck. I heard Quanjude just opened a branch in our city." "What? Quanjude? You lead the way!"

  Then Zhang Wei hailed a taxi and said to go to some road, anyway Tang Xiaofeng had no idea where it was, after all not familiar with this city, just listened to a confused expression.

  The Quanjude branch in front of me is decorated with luxury and grandeur, and it's not an exaggeration to call it magnificent. The cars parked on both sides of the door are lined up like a dragon, but I don't know how the dishes inside are.

  Two people walked slowly past, just as they approached the door, a strong aroma of roasted duck immediately hit their noses, enveloping them in fragrance, making them involuntarily take a deep breath and exclaim: "Fragrant! Really fragrant!"

  As soon as I stepped inside, I heard the guests' praise and compliments, all of which were full of praise. Just from this point, I knew that the duck's taste was good, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people praising and coming to eat here. Looking around, the large dining hall was almost fully seated, with only a few seats left vacant by guests who had just finished eating. Such a bustling scene made Tang Xiaofeng think that this should be a truly authentic Quanjude roast duck franchise store.

  "Welcome." The receptionist greeted Tang Xiao Feng and Zhang Wei with a bow, her voice crisp and charming, truly a great signboard, and each one was excellent in appearance, making guests feel at home.

  "Excuse me, are you two here for a meal or looking for someone?"

  "Let's eat."

  "Please follow me." The receptionist led the two of them inside and found an empty table for them to sit down. She poured a cup of tea for each of them, picked up the menu from the table and handed it to them, saying: "This is the menu, please take a look and order what you need." "Okay."

  Zhang Wei took the menu, opened it, and was immediately stunned. The first dish was roasted duck, priced at 168 yuan per piece, and it was just an ordinary one! The premium ones cost as high as 198 yuan, with a little extra sauce on the side. Other dishes like duck tongue were almost a hundred yuan or more. Even the cheapest ones cost over ten yuan. Seeing this, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

  Tang Xiao Feng saw Zhang Wei's expression and smiled: "One serving of premium duck, duck bone soup, and a plate of duck head, four bottles of beer." Then he asked Zhang Wei: "Do you need any other dishes?" Zhang Wei hastily shook his head.

  "Alright, please wait for a moment." The receptionist smiled and stepped aside.

  Zhang Wei sipped his tea and asked Tang Xiao Feng, "You ordered so many expensive dishes, how much will it cost?" Tang Xiao Feng rolled her eyes: "It's you who said to come here to eat roast duck, I won't ask, after we finish this meal, my whole month's expenses are on you." "Alright, no problem." The tea here is quite good, but thinking about the price, Zhang Wei immediately started drinking it down quickly. In a short while, he had already finished half a pot of tea and let out a small burp. Tang Xiao Feng laughed: "Are you here to eat roast duck or drink tea? Do you want me to ask the server to refill your cup?"

  Zhang Wei made Tang Xiaofeng's face turn red, feeling embarrassed and scratching his head, saying: "I..."

  "Zhi Cheng! Zhi Cheng! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

  A shrill cry suddenly came from the hall, and the originally noisy hall immediately fell silent. Everyone's gaze was drawn to it, and Tang Xiao Feng followed everyone's line of sight to see a young man lying on the ground, a young woman who had been frightened pale, squatting beside her companion, shaking constantly, calling out, anxious tears rolling in her eyes, about to burst out at any moment.

  "Hurry! Call an ambulance! Zhicheng, wake up quickly! Please don't scare me!"

  "Who is the doctor here?" A lobby manager shouted in the hall after making a call to a nearby hospital.

  "We are." Tang Xiao Feng was about to respond when Zhang Wei stood up and shouted. Tang Xiao Feng smiled and stood up, saying: "I'll take a look, I'm a doctor." He then walked over with Zhang Wei.

  The woman looked up to see a young man, about the same age as her boyfriend, walking towards them with a smile on his face. She couldn't help but feel annoyed and lowered her head again.

  Tang Xiao Feng brought Zhang Wei to squat down beside the patient, gave him a quick once-over, and his face turned pale. He didn't care about other people's gaze, directly pressed his ear against the patient's chest, listened for less than a few seconds, then immediately stood up on one knee, and in front of everyone, he fiercely punched the patient's chest several times!

  "You, what are you doing?!" The angry woman just now stretched out her hand to slap Tang Xiaofeng's face, Zhang Wei grabbed the woman's arm from the side, and Tang Xiaofeng loudly shouted at the woman: "Don't quarrel!"

  Perhaps this cry was too loud and too sudden, not only the woman who shouted was stunned, but also allowed Zhang Wei to grab her arm, everyone present was stunned.

  Tang Xiaofeng couldn't take care of so many things, and then continued to do chest compressions. After pressing for less than a dozen times, just as he was about to ask Zhang Wei to give the man artificial respiration, he heard that the man who was called Zhicheng suddenly coughed up, his eyes slowly opened, and he said in confusion: "I, I what happened?" Tang Xiaofeng helped him up and motioned for the woman to come over and support him.

  Who knew that woman would rush into the man's arms and burst out crying: "I was so scared, do you know what just happened to me..." She couldn't continue speaking as she sobbed uncontrollably.

  Tang Xiao Feng let out a breath, stood up and slowly said: "He is suffering from true cardiac syncope, it's a common severe atrioventricular blockage patient. He suddenly fell ill, his condition was critical, which eventually led to cardiac arrest. That's why I had to give him chest compressions and CPR, so he could recover. Sorry if you were scared, when the ambulance arrives, it would be best for you to go to the hospital for a check-up, your heart isn't very stable."

  "Cough, how could this be? How could it be your fault...... Cough...... Thanks to you still...... The man named Zhi Cheng smiled faintly at Tang Xiao Feng, he couldn't say many more words, but a smile already represented his gratitude towards Tang Xiao Feng. Tang Xiao Feng smiled and turned around, leading Zhang Wei back to their seats inside."

  Later, after the ambulance arrived, the man was lifted into the ambulance. The medical staff inquired about the situation and upon hearing what Tang Xiao Feng had done earlier during the emergency rescue, they all cast admiring glances at where Tang Xiao Feng was seated.

  The ambulance left and Quanjude resumed its operation.

  The manager of the hall walked towards Tang Xiao Feng's seat and thanked him, saying: "Thank you both for your help just now. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to both of you on behalf of all the staff."

  Tang Xiao Feng smiled and said: "This is just a matter of course for us. If it were someone else, they would do the same."

  The manager's eyes were full of praise and he said: "To express our gratitude to you, the dishes for tonight are free for both of you to choose."

  Zhang Wei was excited to hear this and said: "Really..." Tang Xiao Feng interrupted Zhang Wei, saying: "Forget it, just pack up the dishes you ordered for us..."

  It feels great when someone thanks you, but being stared at and gossiped about while eating is just weird...

  New book collection, recommendation, new book wants to be on the list all rely on recommendations and collections, everyone help. If the hospital is not busy at night, I will update another chapter.
