Veils of Beiping Novel Chapter 27

Jane looked at the two men in blue-gray military uniforms, both of whom had the rank of major.

She politely invited the two of them into the office and motioned to Xiaomei: "Coffee." She did not ask the two of them what they wanted to drink.

The two officers were surprised that the director of Benin Hospital was not only a woman, but also so young. She invited them to sit down gracefully, and they felt that they had to be careful about what they had to say to the little secretary outside.

Jane was not in a hurry to ask them why they were here, but exchanged a few words with them and found out that one of them was named Li and the other was named Wang. She waited until the coffee came before she asked. They immediately handed over the official letter and while waiting for Jane Cheng to check it, they explained their intention.

It turned out that because the field hospital was understaffed and had limited capacity to accommodate the wounded and sick, they needed to transfer the seriously injured from the frontline field hospital to the rear hospital for recuperation. In addition, for the future development of the war situation, they also need more hospital beds, so they need to find cooperation among suitable hospitals.

"I hope Tzu Chi can provide some support." Major Wang was more calm and he finally said.

Jane placed the official letter on the coffee table. She did not immediately comment. In fact, she already understood the meaning of it without looking or listening.

"Dean Cheng?" Major Wang asked her.

"I'm sorry I can't agree to this request." Jane Cheng answered straightforwardly.

"What?" Major Li's expression suddenly changed.

"Two sirs, with all due respect, the military should contact public hospitals first. As a private hospital, Tzu Chi is founded and run by a church, and it is located in the French Concession. There are bound to be many constraints in accepting military sick and wounded. We We have our difficulties.”

"What's the problem? Are we still talking about private and public services now? Our first step is to seek support from Tzu Chi. What we value most is Tzu Chi's leading surgical department in Shanghai and the best doctors and nurses." Not only his face, but also his neck were red. .

"It needs to be divided, sir. Since Tzu Chi doesn't take a penny from the government, it can't take the lead in sharing the government's worries." Jane said gently. She spread out the official letter and pointed it out to the two people in front of her, "Tzu Chi is not the only hospital listed here. Sir, if the war situation is tight and Tzu Chi is really needed, Tzu Chi will certainly have a duty to do so. But I just told you, sir. , now we have our own difficulties, and it is indeed difficult to obey orders. Presumably the former dean has already explained the reason to the superior, so I will not go into details..."

"Are you still Chinese?" Major Li asked.

This sentence is not harmless.

Jane watched the plum blossom silver beans on his shoulders shine brightly, but the fire of anger in his eyes was even more dazzling than that. She said calmly: "Sir, I am Chinese. But I don't think the current predicament can be solved by Chinese passion alone."

"Strong words." Major Li slapped the coffee table fiercely.

The coffee cup on the table was shaken by a palm, and the coffee spilled out.

Mei Yanchun outside the door heard the noise, knocked on the door and came in, "Dean Cheng?"

Jane motioned for her to go out.

"Sir, as you said, you chose Tzu Chi because it may be second to none in some aspects. But to tell you the truth, Tzu Chi is currently unsustainable and it is unknown whether it can be sustained. How can it support the military? ?If you two don’t believe it, you can go out and ask around.”

"Nonsense."

"Whether it is nonsense or not, we will know soon. In short, in the short term, Tzu Chi will not be able to accept military sick and wounded, nor will it be able to provide so many beds to the military."

"You blatantly do not support the war of resistance..."
