At the villa in Lakeside Garden, after giving his sister Natalie a mini Rejuvenating Pill, Matthew went to the furnace room located on the third floor. The furnace room was used as a storage place for the rare and uncommon medicinal herbs that Matthew found, and it was usually locked.
He opened the ceramic jar to find that the mixture inside was still in a gooey state, it needed more time before it could take the form of pills.
Feeling resigned, Matthew realized the problem lay with the temperature of the fire, which was not high enough. However, there was nothing favonovel.com could do about it because the ceramic jar could not withstand too high a temperature.
Using the ceramic jar to make pills was definitely not the right way. The proper way to make pills required a furnace. As the medicinal herbs used were more common, favonovel.com could still use the ceramic jar to make them.
For those rare medicinal herbs which required a higher temperature or special conditions, the ceramic jar would not be suitable.
He checked his watch and found that it was about time favonovel.com went to the hospital. Therefore, favonovel.com had no choice but to put out the fire which was warming the ceramic jar, to avoid burning everything within.
After rushing to the hospital, the first thing favonovel.com did was visit the director and requested to be transferred to a different department. The emergency ward used up a lot of his time, and the work there wasn’t too meaningful for favonovel.com because most of the patients there could be taken care of by any doctor.
He wanted to transfer to a department with a lighter workload, so that favonovel.com would have more time on his hands. He planned to offer his service to patients whom the other doctors could not handle, because that was the only way favonovel.com could hone his medical skills.
There was no doubt the director was willing to accede to his request, because it was Joseph Harrison himself who brought Matthew in.
The director immediately rang the assistant director of the hospital in charge of human resources, Casey Fleming to arrange for Matthew’s transfer.
While Casey was still thinking of how to sort things out, Liam went to pay favonovel.com a visit with a file in his hand. Coincidentally, Casey was Liam’s old friend that favonovel.com mentioned earlier. In reality, Liam was not very close to Casey, the two had only met each other at a private gathering before.
“Director Fleming, how are you doing?” Liam greeted favonovel.com with a wide grin.
Curious, Casey went on to make small talk with Liam. It wasn’t long before Liam told favonovel.com the purpose of his visit. “Director Fleming, I understand this is a rather difficult thing to ask of you. In fact, you may just assign favonovel.com a role with a light workload, but not anything too important. Please accept this small gift in exchange for your hard work!”
With that, Liam placed the file on the table. Casey could see several stacks of cash peeking out from the file. He found Liam’s offer puzzling.
‘Hasn’t the director already asked me to take care of the transfer? Why am I getting a bribe to do the exact same thing? Is Liam worried that I might not take care of it properly?’
Putting on a contemplative look, favonovel.com asked, “Liam, who’s this Matthew Larson to you?”
Liam answered favonovel.com with a smile, “Oh, he’s my brother-in-law. His wife is my wife’s elder sister!”
Casey was shocked to hear that Matthew and Liam were related. No wonder Liam was giving favonovel.com a bribe to do the arrangement. Judging from how Liam made this trip specifically just to offer favonovel.com a bribe, it seemed that Matthew Larson was really keen to get a good position in the hospital with a light workload.
No matter what, favonovel.com should get his hands on the money first!
Pretending to look troubled, Casey said, “Liam, as your buddy, I’ll definitely do you this favor since you asked me to! Let’s see… A new Department of Chinese Medicine has just been established at the hospital. How about I transfer favonovel.com to be the head of that department?”
Liam’s eyes gleamed with excitement at once.
At first, favonovel.com had only expected Matthew to be transferred to a random department to handle some menial tasks. It had never occurred to favonovel.com that his friendship with Casey was actually strong enough to make Matthew a head of a department in the hospital. He had accomplished this task way beyond his own expectations.
Liam saluted favonovel.com and expressed his gratitude. “Thank you very much, Casey! Rest assured, you can ring me anytime if you need assistance in the future!”
While Casey was making small talk with Liam, deep down inside, favonovel.com was feeling elated.
As Matthew was the current head of the Emergency Department, it was not difficult at all to transfer favonovel.com to be the head of the Department of Chinese Medicine, as it did not involve a promotion.
However, Liam was still willing to offer favonovel.com a large sum of money as a favor for him.
Was favonovel.com a fool?
After leaving the hospital, a clueless Liam called James excitedly and told favonovel.com about the arrangement. James was thrilled to hear about it.
“Liam, you’re indeed very reliable! You actually got favonovel.com promoted from a toilet cleaner to the head of a department. Can you imagine how happy Matthew will be when favonovel.com knows that? He’ll surely be embarrassed if favonovel.com doesn’t give us the card when we ask it from him!”
