Chapter 1118: Be strong without desire
In recent years, Sanbo Hospital has purchased too many equipment and built infrastructure, involving more than 100 million yuan. The workload of the investigation team is huge. They are under great pressure. They have to carefully investigate and confirm each item, and interview relevant personnel. Facing the dual pressure of public opinion and superiors, they dare not be careless.

The superior leaders have made it very clear that there is zero tolerance for corruption and the investigation will be based on the principle of seeking truth from facts. No accusations will be made and no shielding will be given. The matter must be investigated thoroughly.

During the quarantine period, Dean Xia was not afraid at all. He ate well, drank well and slept well every day. This was probably because he was strong without desire. The only thing he was worried about was that Sanbo Hospital would be affected by this incident. With Yang Ping's current status, the probability of him being affected was very small. At most, it would affect his mood. However, Sanbo Hospital was too fragile. The previous system relied on his personal authority to maintain it. Once he left, it would be a big problem whether the system could be maintained normally and how long it could be maintained.

The staff of the investigation team were very careful. They started with the purchase price of large equipment and obtained the purchase prices of exactly the same products from many hospitals during the same period. They compared them one by one with the purchase prices of Sanbo Hospital, hoping to find a breakthrough in this regard.

However, after a careful and rigorous comparison, the investigation team was shocked. They even doubted the authenticity of the data they obtained. After repeated verification, the data was true. Because the same machine equipment was purchased for 10 million yuan at Sanbo Hospital, and for several other hospitals, it ranged from 15 million to 60 million yuan. The largest difference was as high as 50 million yuan. Sanbo Hospital's purchase price was the lowest. The contracts, financial transfer records, etc. were all completely consistent, without any suspicion.

During the years that President Xia has been the president, the office expenses of Sanbo Hospital have been the lowest. Every time he went out for a meeting, his basic travel expenses, accommodation and meal expenses were reimbursed. Official banquets were all held in the cafeteria, and all banquets outside the cafeteria were paid for out of his own pocket. The hospital has formulated strict standards for official banquets and set a strict budget for official-related expenses each year. Any expenses exceeding the budget will be paid out of pocket.

The average price of infrastructure construction is also the lowest, and the contract terms clearly state that if the workers' wages are delayed, Sanbo Hospital will stop disbursing progress payments. This kind of clause has never been seen by the investigation team. Many bosses are eager to do the infrastructure construction of Sanbo Hospital because the profit is high and they will not delay the payment of the project. As long as the quality of the project is guaranteed, the bill will be settled very quickly and not a penny will be owed. This is well-known in the industry.

As the investigation deepened, it became confusing. In ten years, no problem was found. Not even an expensive banquet. No wonder he dared to slam the table. Even when he was isolated for investigation, he still ate, drank and slept well.

The accusatory article said that he arranged for relatives to enter the hospital, but it turned out that only a disabled relative was assigned to the hospital's logistics department as a tailor to repair white coats, and no other relatives were assigned to work in the hospital.

Some of the hospital's shops are all operated in cooperation with the government's poverty alleviation department and are rented to poor households recommended by the government or the families of public officials who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.

The more they dug, the more they found out, and the more positive this person seemed. This was the first time the investigation team had seen such a situation, and everyone couldn't help but respect Dean Xia.

The head of the investigation team went to report to his superiors overnight. The superiors sighed and said, "Xia Changjiang is actually a familiar figure. He has done a lot of practical things and offended a lot of people. If such an honest man doesn't have a good ending, I won't be able to retire with peace of mind." The head of the investigation team has handled countless major cases and is very experienced. Now he is confused. He couldn't help but ask Dean Xia a very naive question: "Your hospital has handled so many projects in the past ten years. Have you never been tempted?"

"Why do I need so much money? I have a salary, my wife has a salary, and my daughter has always had excellent academic performance. I don't worry about her not being able to get into a good university. She is so capable, I don't worry about her not being able to find a good job. Why do you think I should be so nervous to make money?"

Even though they investigated Dean Xia thoroughly and found nothing wrong, the investigation team could finally call it a day. They had a clear explanation to their superiors and the media. However, the public opinion on the Internet was still relentless, saying that Dean Xia had been the dean for so many years and had handled so many equipment and projects, how could he be clean? They did not believe the conclusion of the investigation and said that someone was protecting Dean Xia. Obviously, these people seemed to be righteous to outsiders, but in fact they just wanted to use the pressure of public opinion to bring down Dean Xia.

After the investigation results came out, the leader was also very pleased. Xia Changjiang did not disappoint him. No matter what the public opinion is, the investigation will adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts and will never be affected by public opinion. It cannot be that whoever makes a fuss is right, otherwise it will be a mess.

Since this was the fact, the superior leaders, despite the pressure from public opinion, restored Dean Xia to his original position and calmed the storm.

Director Xia is fine, but the directors of several other hospitals are in trouble. When investigating Director Xia, they compared the same equipment purchase contracts and payment records of other hospitals, and found that the largest difference was as much as 50 million. The investigation team is not stupid and knows where such a large difference came from.

Adhering to the principle of zero tolerance for corruption, the investigation team began to investigate those hospitals. Several directors and vice directors were dismissed. One was about to retire in a month, and one had retired for two years.

Dean Xia returned to the dean's office and saw the familiar desk. He was filled with mixed feelings. After this incident, he was more confident and was determined to do a great job while he could still do something to run Sanbo Hospital well. He also realized the importance of establishing a good system for Sanbo Hospital. In the face of so many temptations, not everyone can keep themselves clean and resist temptation like him. Most people may get lost in the face of temptation and forget their original intentions.

He looked at the draft of hospital management reform he had written, and he felt that it was naive and not very mature, but he couldn't tell where the problem was. He had actually been thinking about hospital reform for many years and had many ideas. Now that he was really going to write a complete reform plan, he felt that he was so lacking in knowledge in hospital management.

After this incident, Director Qin suddenly came to his senses. He took the initiative to find Dean Xia and said that he was willing to step down and let young and talented people take over. Gradually, several stubborn directors began to soften their attitude and expressed their willingness to cooperate with the hospital's reform and give up their positions to young people. Dean Xia really didn't expect that this incident could bring such an unexpected gain.
