After the relationship with Lee Han was revealed, everyone maintained their same attitude, but the best among them was Professor Choi.
If others felt a little awkward or flinched, Professor Choi had none of that. He just does his best to keep Hae-hae in check and tease him, as usual.
“In a department that already has a lot of work, everything is done as usual.”
“Yes, I am.”
“He is very consistent in answering questions.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“… … .”
At the last crossroads, Professor Choi openly glared at her. Haejun also faced him with a bright smile, without any fear.
“It would be better to just tear it up at this point. Professor Choi, please go first.”
“Of course I have to go first!”
There was no way he was going to miss the opportunity to get ahead of Hae-joon, so he walked boldly as if he was proud of himself. The rest of her could have gone her own way, but for some reason she was standing there with a strange look on her face.
“hey. Professor Choi.”
“Why again!”
“… … “I think you’re going there by mistake. That’s not the lounge.”
“Who went to the wrong place!”
“… … .”
Professor Choi scowled and made a loud noise that made the hallway echo. He didn’t forget to click her tongue at Hae-joon, who blinked her eyes blankly, which was uncharacteristic of her.
“What on earth do you look at people for? In Professor Yoon’s eyes, do I look like a stupid person who doesn’t even know where I’m going? Even though I stayed in the hospital, I stayed longer than that!”
“So why is Professor Choi there?”
“Are you asking because you really don’t know that?”
“… … yes?”
no way.
Hae-joon swallowed his saliva with difficulty and finally took a step forward. Professor Choi, who was walking triumphantly into the conference hall, pressed down on the frame of his glasses between his eyebrows so that all his eyes were focused.
“There is no one else at Cheil Hospital who is as thorough as me and follows all the principles! “If I don’t go to the heart center review, who else will?”
“… … Professor Choi.”
“Anyway, I don’t like it until the end. “It’s not right, it’s not right.”
Professor Choi clicked his tongue, his face lit up, and even turning around was awkward. Hae-jun took a step closer as if to guide him as he wandered for a moment without finding his direction.
“Is that the same for me?”
It’s funny, who would say that?
Hae-joon’s voice cracked as his eyes grew hot and he bit the inside of his mouth. Finally, in front of the final battle site, colleagues who didn’t even look at each other’s faces, but it wasn’t a bad thing if they looked at the same place.
“But it’s better than nothing for us, right?”
“joy. “That’s it!”
◇ ◆ ◇
“The last item on the agenda is the establishment of a separate heart transplant center, and there will be a brief briefing at the CS. “Here, I have drawn up the estimated cost and value of the business in advance.”
The planning director handed out a copy of the document to each of the directors. While everyone was seriously stretching out their hands, Lee Han, who was at the head of the table, also picked up the document in front of him.
“… … .”
Indeed, I can’t find any flaws in the director’s report, which is so thorough and even obsessive when it comes to money. Lee Han, who was looking at it with indifferent eyes, opened his mouth.
“Please tell me.”
“Oh, that’s it.”
“You are the directors of Cheil Hospital. So, you can only judge from the hospital’s perspective.”
Several people finally expressed their opinions on Lee Han’s extremely public appearance. Opinions vary, from those who say that it is right to keep it since it is a promise, to those who say that it will not be profitable. Soon, according to the director’s instructions, the conference hall was opened, and the directors all looked around at the door.
“hello. “My name is Hae-Jeon Yoon, former CS specialist in charge of today’s briefing.”
“… … yes. “But that’s it.”
The planning director narrowed his eyes and looked at her. She tried not to show it out of consideration for the rational chairman, but it was also strange that she pretended not to notice something like that.
“I heard that only one person is coming in.”
“… … haha.”
Well, I thought that was the case too.
Hae-jun couldn’t hide his embarrassed smile as he glanced at all the faculty members standing behind him. It is no exaggeration to say that everyone was gathered except for those who entered the operating room.
‘How did this happen?’
She gave Professor Choi a look, asking what was going on, but as expected, Sunflower just glared at her. Well, whether he was dragged or tied up, he is not a great man who will obediently answer that he knows.
“Professor Yoon?”
“ah… … “Everyone is part of the CS family.”
okay. What else do I need to say?
“I would be grateful if you could see that we are of one mind and one mind regarding the Heart Transplant Center.”
“Hmm.”
She opened her trembling lips toward a director urging her to soften the milk, but in fact, there was someone else who really wanted to hear this.
‘Look at this. ‘I’m not lonely, am I?’
Hae-jun slowly regained his confidence towards Lee-han, who was in the middle. The corner of Lee Han’s mouth twitched as he turned the pen, but he also became more cool-headed than ever.
“You’ll know that when you hear it.”
Of course, just as she had hoped.
“I guess you’re ready, right?”
“of course.”
Hae-joon did not flinch despite his warning that it would never be easy. I heard that their eyes were shining coldly towards me, but I didn’t even know they were cold. Even though people who don’t know anything about things may laugh at me because I’m the director of a botanical garden, they really don’t know anything.
“Professor Hae-jun Yoon.”
“yes. Greetings again. “This is Hae-Jeon Yoon, a thoracic surgeon, who will present the plan, vision, and operation policy for building a heart transplant center!”
Is there a better place for flowers to bloom than a botanical garden in the middle of winter? Hae-joon’s smile as he looked at the white screen that was about to bloom was as bright as a flower.
“Then let’s begin.”
◇ ◆ ◇
After the CS’s briefing, which was much longer than expected, ended and the entire thoracic surgery team left the room, everyone was silent for a while. Some people wiped their sweat and others just licked their dry throat at the long-lasting presentation that made you feel drained just listening to it.
“What are you doing? Please speak comfortably.”
This time too, Lee Han was the first to open his mouth. He was carefully examining the documents handed out by Hae-joon, then glanced around at the board of directors.
“The presentation was quite long, but I don’t think you have any specific questions.”
“Well, that’s not it!”
The manager sitting next to me straightened his back, saying that he would maintain his balance. He met the chairman’s unusually gentle gaze and cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment.
“Hmm.”
I can’t admit that the presentation was so perfect that I didn’t even have to ask any more questions.
“I think I heard enough, but I think there’s something that bothers the director.”
“Well, the patient who ran away last time!”
Yes, this is it!
The manager, who would find even a single cat hair on the carpet to find fault, clenched his fists. I can’t find fault with the briefing I just heard. However, regarding the person who gave the briefing, there was something I had to point out as the head of the planning office.
“Professor Hae-jun Yoon. “He is a graduate of Korea University and is considered the best in terms of in-hospital evaluation and surgical performance, but didn’t he perform surgery on his own in the past?”
“yes… … “It was like that.”
Lee Han lowered his pen as if concentrating on the manager with a very interested look on his face. The manager swallowed dry saliva as he faced the beast-like black eyes.
“I, too, am sorry to say this, but… … .”
“no. Please continue.”
It’s fun, why?
Lee Han stroked his jawline with one arm as if resting his chin. Even the other directors looked at the manager in astonishment at the roar of a wild beast that had lost its appetite, but when it came to money, no one could break his obsession.
“He is a person with good ambitions, good abilities, and trustworthiness, but I think we need to take responsibility for the loss of the hospital as it is a loss.”
“sure.”
“Of course, I’m not just saying that I’m unconditionally opposed to that, but I think we need to pay a little more attention considering the huge costs and responsibilities for heart transplant centers… … .”
“I’d like you to talk about that for a moment.”
“… … yes? Chairman?”
When Lee Han lightly raised his hand, the manager who had just caught fire hesitated. Should I just pretend I couldn’t win and move on? Although he regretted it later, the chairman did not look angry at all. He gave instructions quickly in a subdued voice, as if he had been waiting.
“Secretary Kang.”
“yes. Chairman.”
Lee Han glanced at Secretary Kang, who had already entered the room, and he immediately handed over each piece of paper he was holding. A white piece of paper was placed in front of the director, who was sitting dazedly, and he lifted it unconsciously.
“this… … .”
“Professor Hae-jun Yoon will not owe this hospital any debt due to his actions that day.”
Here, as you can see.
I tapped the piece of paper that Lee Han knew without even looking at it with my finger. In fact, there is no need to explain her debt.
