Chapter 500

Surgeon who became angry (500):

I’m thinking about going abroad (1)

Chief Min Jeong couldn’t find an answer and was terrified.

The President was well aware that this was not his fault. The situation is just frustrating. I felt sorry for Agu University Hospital, which hadn’t said anything until this happened, and also for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It’s a matter of China’s highest power, so of course he would have tried to keep the highest level of security, but wasn’t it something he should have known?

“Apart from the late information...”

the president sighed quietly.

“Have you thought of any next steps?”

Only then did Chief Min Jeong raise his head.

“First of all, it would be better to call director Han Jin-soo to the Blue House and give him a prize for his hard work.”

It was different from the time of the Vice-Inspector General’s wife.

“A merit award?”

When the president made a puzzled expression, Chief Min Jeong answered right away.

“It’s about going fast and acting like we actually knew it, we were just pretending we didn’t know. Since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is included anyway, it will look like that in China.”

“then?”

“The Chinese side will feel grateful to the Korean government for knowing about this sensitive matter but not saying anything about it.”

“Will it be like a merit award?”

“I think that is appropriate. If you do things more vociferously, it will only create an image of taking individual merit from the Blue House.”

“That’s not what I want either.”

“That’s right. I think it will be helpful in many ways when we have a summit meeting with China later if we appreciate that much and make friends with him later.”

After hearing the words of the chief civil servant, the president thought for a moment and then nodded.

“It feels like putting a spoon on it halfway, but if that’s enough, won’t director Han Jin-soo be sad?”

“I think so.”

“good. When will my schedule be free?”

“This week is difficult, but next Monday lunchtime will be fine.”

“Then let’s do that.”

“Yes, I will. If only director Han Jin-soo is called, it’s not good to be alone. So, even the president of the medical association and the director of Agu University Hospital... No, I think it would be good to call all the directors of the university hospital.”

“Yeah, take care of that part.”

When the president nodded, Chief Min Jeong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

“all right. Then, I’ll set my lunch schedule for next Monday’s luncheon with the Medical Association.”

“Director, did you come from China after surgery?”

Nurse Song came to Han Jin-soo as soon as she went to work and asked with a disbelieving expression.

“Yes! Did you hear from your brother?”

“yes. A few days ago, I got a phone call from my younger brother, and I was caught by the police and I was almost in big trouble, but thanks to the director, I was very grateful.”

“Recently, it seems that China’s religious oppression has intensified. Shouldn’t Nurse Song’s younger brother also have to come back to Korea?”

“I was worried too, so I tried to dissuade him several times, but he didn’t listen.”

When Nurse Song let out a short sigh, Han Jin-su changed her tone to a serious tone.

“That day, I and Dr. B escaped arrest by the police, but it could be dangerous later, right?”

“Fortunately, the police haven’t been chasing after that day.”

“Ah, the Doctor put a bluff at that time, but it seems to have worked.”

“So I’m a little relieved, but I’m still worried. And they asked me to say thanks to the director and Dr. B.”

“Well, it’s not something to thank me very much, but you can thank Dr. Eul a little.”

“I thought it would come, but it’s faster than expected.”

When Han Jin-soo held out her hand, Nurse Song handed her the receiver and pricked up her ears.

“Yes, this is Director Han Jin-soo.”

-hello? This is the Blue House Civil Affairs Office.

“yes.”

―The President is scheduled to have a luncheon with the president of the Korea Medical Practitioners Association and other officials next Monday, the 18th. So, I wanted to invite Dr. Han Jin-soo, so I contacted him.

“The Association of Medical Professionals? ah! Sorry, but I am not affiliated with the Association.”

-yes? wait a minute. Oh that’s right It’s on our list..... but the chief said he put it in himself. I would like you to come and have lunch with me.

Han Jin-soo looked at the schedule for a while.

“I’m sorry, but Monday will be difficult. I have something important to do.”

-yes? Are you declining the invitation now?

“It’s not until the refusal, but isn’t it a place where presidents, directors, and directors of large hospitals are invited anyway at federation luncheons? Well, I’m the one who runs a small private hospital, so I don’t think I need to go there.”

-Is that so? Too bad. To be invited to the President’s luncheon is a great honor.

The staff spoke really sincerely as if they did not know the circumstances.

“yes. I am well aware of it. But it doesn’t seem to be related. Obviously, if the President had called, we would discuss many important issues in the medical field, but I’m not the type to sit in such a position. So please remove me from the invite list. Then I’ll hang up.”

Han Jin-soo said what he had to say and hung up the phone.

Nurse Song widened her eyes as if a little surprised by Han Jin-soo’s determination.

“Director, no matter how much, the Blue House invited me...”

“I don’t know if only I was invited, but I called all the high-ranking members of the association, so there’s no need to go and stand as a bridesmaid. If you call again, pretend you are busy.”

“Are you really going to be okay?”

“yes. it’s okay.”

Han Jin-soo waved at Nurse Song, who had a worried expression on her face, and went into the treatment room.

‘Tsk, I must have called after knowing that I had surgery on the wife of the vice-inspector general, and this time on the chieftain.

The intention of the invitee was clearly felt.

When the soccer coach who led the World Cup victory is called to the Blue House, the president of the Football Association is not called together.

Even though he knew that he had undergone surgery, he did not want to be treated appropriately.

I got a call from the hospital and a cell phone after that, but Han Jin-soo didn’t answer

.

There is no need to go to a place where you will not be treated well.

Han Jin-soo received a call from Chief Min Jeong after receiving a text message from Korean Ambassador Shin Joong-sik and a phone call from the head of Agu University Hospital.

―I’m sorry about this. I should have called myself..... It seems that our staff called the director first after looking at the list of attendees.

“Oh yeah. But I’m really busy on Monday, so can I not go?”

Han Jin-soo deliberately trembled.

After receiving a phone call from Ambassador Shin Joong-shik and the head of Agu University Hospital, I changed my mind to go to the Blue House. But in fact, my heart was already a bit broken, so even if I changed my mind, I was going to burn the other person’s child to some extent.

―The President misses you very much after learning that Dr. Han performed surgery on the president’s brain tumor.

“Is that so? But Mondays are really difficult for me. More than anything, I don’t like invitations like this.”

Han Jin-soo once again refused.

If you’re really politely inviting, shouldn’t you at least show the courtesy of the person coming? Although he was reincarnated again in Korea, one of the important courtesies here is to look at his face and ask for a favor, and for Han Jin-soo, who lived as a painter, such trivial courtesies took up more than expected.

That’s why I couldn’t refuse the hand of the people who asked in front of my eyes, and I threw away the hand of the arrogant people.

He felt that now Chief Min Jeong was also wearing an armband and trying to reign from above. I didn’t like the look of it.

It’s a request in words, but it’s such a high-handed look.

– Director Han. Do you know how helpful it will be to have a relationship with the president while living in our country? You bought a building a while ago..... That will help, and you’ll feel comfortable with each and every small issue, from taxation to legal matters.
