Chapter 600 Bernard\'s Threat
As Bernard spoke, he looked at Shen Bing with sharp eyes.
His alma mater was a top-notch university in White Eagle Country. If Shen Bing could donate a teaching building in his name and have the building named after him, he would become the most outstanding young person in his alma mater.
Shen Bing\'s expression darkened upon hearing his proposal.
It turned out that Bernard was after her money, not genuinely concerned about her brother.
She felt angry inside but remained composed as she asked, "How big of a building do you plan to donate?"
Bernard\'s heart rejoiced at her response, and he said in a serious tone, "The request is not high, just an ordinary teaching building, maybe around 1000 square meters in area."
"As for the number of floors, it doesn\'t need to be too high. Just build it to be 18 floors tall."
He had carefully calculated that each classroom would be around 60 square meters, and one floor would need at least ten classrooms, which would be 600 square meters.
The remaining 400 square meters could be used for various laboratories, lounges, and teacher offices.
If there were 18 floors, it would mean there would be 180 classrooms.
Once the building was completed, he would surely be immortalized.
"Doctor Bernard, have you calculated how much money this would roughly cost?" Shen Bing asked with a serious tone.
"I have!"
Bernard raised three fingers and said, "I\'ve calculated it seriously, and it would cost 3 billion US dollars!"
"I believe this amount of wealth is just a piece of cake for Miss Shen."
Three billion US dollars!
Shen Bing felt like slapping him right then and there.
In Dragon Kingdom\'s currency, that would be close to 20 billion, an astronomical sum!
Yet, Bernard mentioned it so casually, as if it was just a trivial matter.
Did he think her money was blown in by the wind?
Suppressing her displeasure, Shen Bing put on a smile and said, "Doctor Bernard, your proposal is quite good."
"But 3 billion US dollars is not a small amount, and I can\'t come up with that much cash in such a short time."
"So, give me some time to consider, alright?"
"Sure, but your brother\'s condition can\'t hold on for much longer. You have one day to decide; otherwise, if your brother\'s condition worsens, there\'s nothing I can do."
"And, let me tell you one thing. At Massachusetts General Hospital, I have considerable power. Without my consent, other doctors wouldn\'t dare to act rashly."
Bernard nodded and said, "Well then, dear Miss Shen, I wish for a happy reunion for you and your brother. I\'ll go busy myself now."
"Remember, you only have one day."
After speaking, he winked at Shen Bing and left.
Shen Bing stood in place, watching Bernard\'s back, her eyes becoming icy.
From Bernard\'s tone, she sensed a threat.
This man was using her brother\'s life to pressure her into paying up.
After Bernard left, Shen Bing took out her phone and dialed Xiao Qing\'s number, her secretary. "Find out information about Bernard, his weaknesses, vulnerabilities, his children, and wife\'s information!"
"Send me all the data within an hour!"
She initially wanted to rely on Wang Chao\'s abilities, but after he mentioned the invisible, transparent, and scientifically undetectable spiritual bug in Shen Feng\'s brain, she was disappointed and felt that he was just talking nonsense.
Therefore, she felt that this time she must handle everything herself!
Though Shen Feng still needed treatment from this hospital, Bernard was clearly after her money and had threatened her.
She detested being threatened the most!
If Bernard had asked nicely, she would have tried her best to raise the money. But he was acting so arrogant and threatening her, which was utterly shameless!
She couldn\'t just give away such a large sum of money!
She was not someone to be trifled with, nor was she a soft target for anyone to take advantage of.
Bernard threatened her, so she would make him pay the price!
Meanwhile, Wang Chao and Liu Yifei wandered around Massachusetts General Hospital, visiting various departments.
Wang Chao occasionally approached patients or medical staff, giving them some gifts and chatting with them.
His English was pure and fluent, without any foreign accent. It was as if he was a true White Eagle Country native.
Moreover, he was charismatic and quickly obtained information about Bernard from those medical staff.
No wonder Bernard was so arrogant; he turned out to be the vice president of Massachusetts General Hospital.
However, his medical skills were not particularly remarkable, and he rarely treated patients throughout the year; instead, he focused on administrative management.
In a hospital like Massachusetts General Hospital, where technical expertise was highly regarded, Bernard\'s networking and social skills did not earn him much respect. Instead, many people looked down on him.
Especially a vice president named Houseman Jeremy, he had the utmost disdain for Bernard.
"Houseman Jeremy?" Wang Chao was taken aback.
He was familiar with that name.
"Houseman Jeremy, is he in the hospital now?" Liu Yifei\'s eyes lit up upon hearing the name.
"Do you know him?" Wang Chao asked in surprise.
"Know him? He\'s my idol!" Liu Yifei\'s excitement was palpable as she exclaimed, "Houseman is the most famous surgeon in the world, especially skilled in complex thoracic surgeries."
"He performed half of all heart transplant surgeries in human history."
"Moreover, he has a very high success rate in surgeries, with a survival rate of up to ninety percent, and the patients have great post-operative quality of life."
"To put it bluntly, he\'s a living legend in the medical field!"
Thoracic surgery?
Upon hearing these words, Wang Chao had a sudden realization.
No wonder this name sounded so familiar; it was him!
During his time learning medicine under his master, they traveled to various places on the battlefield, and he acted as a military doctor, treating the wounded soldiers\' injuries.
For half a year, he was extremely busy, often waking up at 6 o\'clock in the morning to start performing surgeries, working tirelessly until past 4 in the morning with only two hours of rest.
Occasionally, during times of war, he would be working continuously for days and nights without any sleep, facing tremendous pressure.
If it weren\'t for the profound martial arts his master taught him, he probably would have died from exhaustion.
At that time, he had so much work that his assistants often couldn\'t keep up with his pace.
Only a young man in his thirties followed him, assisting him in surgeries and tirelessly doing various tasks. He had excellent physical strength and made a deep impression on him.
That person\'s name was Houseman!
Back then, Houseman was just a doctor with a little ability, following him and assisting him in surgeries. He asked a lot of questions and learned many sophisticated surgical techniques from him.
In particular, he asked numerous questions about thoracic surgery and was very eager to learn.
Wang Chao admired him and taught him all the Western medical techniques he knew.
As for Chinese medicine, he didn\'t teach him much because it was a treasure of Dragon Kingdom, and he didn\'t want to pass it on without his master\'s permission.
Unexpectedly, after many years, Houseman had become a world-renowned thoracic surgeon, even Liu Yifei on the East Coast knew his name. Truly remarkable!
Seeing Liu Yifei\'s admiring expression, Wang Chao couldn\'t help but smile and said, "If you like him so much, how about I introduce you to him?"
"You know him?" Liu Yifei looked puzzled.
"Well, you can say I know him because, in fact, I am his master," Wang Chao smiled.
As a military doctor, he had already revealed his true identity, so he was not afraid of disclosing it.
"You\'re his master?"
Liu Yifei\'s expression changed slightly, and then she chuckled, "Come on, Brother Wang, do not joke around. This\'sn\'t funny at all."
