Chapter 438


    Saying it like that, even the director’s words seemed somewhat forced.


    Pearl understood that the director wanted to protect her employees, so she didn’t make a big deal out


    of it.


    As they were about to leave, Leah walked in stemnly and asked, “What are you guys doing here?”


    “Perfect timing, Leah. What’s wrong with the radiator in Miss Pearl’s ward?”


    Leah exined without a hint of guilt, “The radiator in their room burned out this afternoon, so we had


    to shut it off. I was just about to get someone to fix it.”


    Hearing this, the director’s expression softened a bit. “See, it was all just a misunderstanding.’


    Pearl couldn’t find any proof at the moment, so she just nodded and followed Richard back to the


    ward.


    Upon their return, they realized that the room’s temperature hadn’t improved, despite the hours that


    had passed. Pearl, who


    was sensitive to the cold, began to shiver. Richard quickly wrapped her in a nket.


    “Leah is really vengeful, and she’s targeting me of all people,” Pearlined with irritation.


    “I’ll talk to the director again.”


    Richard was about to leave when Pearl grabbed his wrist. “It’s okay, it’s not that cold. Besides, going to


    the director won’t solve anything.”


    Pearl had a point.


    “Give me a minute, I’ll make a call” With that, Richard stepped outside.


    After more than half an hour, Richard returned with four men carrying arge rectangr object.


    Standing by the door, Richard instructed, “Take this thing in and get it installed.”


    Pearl was surprised. “What is this?”


    “This is the new radiator that I just bought. Since the hospital’s radiator isn’t working, let’s just dismantle


    it and rece it with a new one,” Richard exined firmly.


    His words left Pearl momentarily speechless, surprised by his assertive action.


    Shortly after, the director called Richard. “M-Mister Richard, I heard you’re nning to rece our


    radiator with a new one?” The director found it uneptable.


    “It’s been hours, and the radiator still isn’t fixed. Your efficiency is pretty low. As for the employee in


    charge of the radiator, you can just fire her,” Richard retorted, his toneced with sarcasm, showing no


    hesitation.


    “But you’re changing the radiator without authorization now. Isn’t that unreasonable-”


    “I was just about to allocate 15 million dors to your hospital. From the look of it, it seems unnecessary


    now,” Richard interrupted smoothly. He was skilled in the world of business negotiations andnew how


    to wield his influence effectively.


    The director, who had been hesitant just moments ago, quickly adopted a more ttering tone. “As long


    as you’re happy, feel free to make any changes you want. You’re the greatest gift to our hospital. So


    when do you n to…”


    Richard, however, didn’t appreciate the director’s directness and interrupted her. “Whenever I feel like


    it.”


    In other words, the 15 million dors would be wired immediately if he was in a good mood, but it could

    easily be withheld if


    The director, realizing she needed to tread carefully, gritted her teeth and offered a concession, “Alright,


    I’ll have Leah apologize to you guys. If she still doesn’t listen, then I’ll fire her!”


    Richard nced at Pearl, as if he was seeking her opinion.
