When Joseph heard the name "Jensen", he understood who the latter was.
Lambda City had six districts. Medicare Hospital was located in Songforest District. Jensen Lynch had come here to do an inspection before, and he was also the director of the health department.
Joseph doubted if Baxter had the power to summon him. "Mr. Paulson, Jensen is the director of the health department. Would he listen to us?"
From experience, Baxter knew that he shouldn't doubt the director's judgment, or else the latter would feel embarrassed.
However, he had his own ways. Talking to the director about something hush-hush like this would make it seem like he was sharing a secret with the director. As a result, the director would treat him like one of his own friends.
Even if Jensen didn't help Baxter deal with the clinic, there would be a bond between them. That also counted as a win.
Baxter said condescendingly, "You wouldn't understand certain things without experience. Do you know who the two types of people with the most connections are?"
Joseph reckoned that, with his age, he would know of things like this. However, he played dumb and said, "I don't, sir. Tell me, so that I can learn something new as well."
Baxter held up two fingers. "The first is the hospital dean. A hospital can determine whether someone lives or dies. Everyone has family and friends who will get old and sick. There's always going to be a time when they will need the hospital dean.
"The second type is a school principal. As long as someone has children, they would need to talk to the principal. This is just how life is. I may only be the associate dean, but Jensen will do what I command with just a few words."
Joseph was impressed. "It's an honor for me to know you, Mr. Paulson. Truly."
Baxter smiled proudly. "A clinic is no match for me. I can destroy it with a single sentence."
