“Dumplings are ready.” The astute Chiang Ying took the chance to make dumplings while her husband was educating someone, and she brought out the steaming hot dumplings, calling everyone to eat.
Regardless, on the first day of the New Year, try not to get too heated.
A group of people gathered around the dining table, silently eating their dumplings.
The senior leader was still angry.
After finishing the dumplings, Zhang Xiaohui, on President Wu’s orders, returned to the hospital to see patients. Shen Xifei and Huang Beibei accompanied her. As soon as the three of them were outside, they started cursing Zhu Huicang.
“He clearly sees you as his arch-enemy. I tried to say a few objective words on your behalf, and out of nowhere, he scolded me too,” Shen Xifei lamented her misfortune for being dragged into the mess.
Huang Beibei pondered over all the possibilities, “Could someone have badmouthed you behind your back to him?”
“Xiao Hui has always been popular, and there are many who are jealous of her. There are plenty who would work against her in secret,” Shen Xifei agreed with Huang Beibei’s suggestion, “If we find out who it is, it’s very likely a rival who doesn’t want Xiao Hui to stay at Guoxie.”
Who wanted her out of Guoxie? Zhang Xiaohui’s face turned pale, then even paler, as she clenched her fists and paused, turning to glance back: She felt that if she lingered a while longer, maybe she could pick up some more information from President Wu’s house.
“Xiao Hui, you should call Director Zhao,” Huang Beibei reminded her.
Upon hearing that, Zhang Xiaohui thought it made sense, as long as she maintained a good relationship with Director Zhao. No fear, the department wouldn’t deal with her harshly over a trifling matter, and probably President Wu would forget all about it by tomorrow.
After the three of them had left, Chiang Ying invited the guests to have tea.
President Wu got a phone call and went to the study.
Cao Yong and the other guests finally started talking again as they sat in the living room.
To put it bluntly, with Zhang Xiaohui there, people like Zhu Huicang wouldn’t feel like speaking up again, feeling that talking to her was a pointless effort and only added to the irritation.
“She didn’t notice the issue, it was Old Lin who discovered it later on?” Tao Zhijie asked, looking back for the details of the incident.
Caught off-guard by Senior Tao’s question, Zhu Huicang admitted frankly, “If Old Lin had realized it himself, it would have been okay, he could have dealt with it promptly without having to rush the rescue later. Plus, they wouldn’t need to wait for her shift to end to pin her down and talk to her about it. So it was after she left, and Old Lin himself nearly caused a disaster by not noticing the problem.”
“Who discovered the issue? Was it a nurse?”
“The emergency nurses were too busy drawing blood. Who had the time to keep an eye on patients? It was a trainee.”
“Right, and it was her who performed CPR on the patient first thing, pulling them back from the brink at Ghost Gate. It was really close,” Zhu Huicang definitely sweated on behalf of Doctor Lin.
“Which impressive trainee was it?” The one interrupting was Chang Jiawei, shocked to hear that a trainee had performed the rescue, saying, “Really a trainee? How long has she been with our hospital?”
Probably a trainee who has been with the hospital for a while and gained some clinical experience.
“No, she’s only been on the clinical floor for a few days. Both are female doctors, but how come the difference is so huge—” Zhu Huicang complained.
Zhang Xiaohui, as a female doctor, was expected to be meticulous and gentle, traits that most female doctors exhibit more than their male counterparts. Xie Wanying was performing as expected, but Zhang Xiaohui was not only careless but also lacked sympathy even for a seven-year-old child.
“A female trainee?” Tao Zhijie seemed to remember something, his eyes crinkling into a smile, “What’s her name?”
Zhu Huicang was about to continue when he got a stern look from his two old classmates.
Whether it was Cao Yong or Ren Chongda, they both showed strong disapproval of his disclosing information.
Does my class need you to show off? That was clear as day in Ren Chongda’s eyes, directed at Zhu Huicang. As a class advisor, he despised anyone praising a student from his class without his permission, which wasn’t good for the medical students who were still growing.
