Tan Yunjing was clearly sticking up for Xiao Yifei, she just couldn’t stand Fang Yuan’s initial partiality, nor could she bear Fang Yuan’s arrogance in not retaining Xiao Yifei at the end.
"This money belongs only to the emergency room. If I ever discover someone else from the hospital using this money, I will immediately take back the donation!"
Tan Yunjing looked at Fang Yuan, her voice crisp and enunciated.
When Fang Yuan heard Tan Yunjing’s words, he frowned, while the director of the emergency room, Chen Xusheng, could only offer a bitter smile beside him.
No sooner had she spoken than Tan Yunjing called Hong Fan to leave, and upon seeing her actions, Lou Nanfu quickly followed suit. However, before leaving, Lou Nanfu still took the paralyzed Li Entang with him, preparing for an investigation. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ⓝovelFire.net
"Mr. Xiao! I’ll be leaving now! My father will invite you to our home, and we’ll be able to meet very soon!"
Tan Yunjing smiled slightly at Xiao Yifei, blooming like a hundred flowers.
Xiao Yifei watched Tan Yunjing’s graceful figure leave the conference hall and then turned his head back around. Now, only Xiao Yifei, Fang Yuan, Chen Xusheng, and Nangong Yun were left in the room, even Zhang Wencai and Zhou Yuan had already left with the crowd.
Fang Yuan snorted coldly, his gaze cutting across Xiao Yifei icily.
"If you’re not a member of our hospital, then leave immediately! We don’t have time to idle chat with outsiders!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yuan, with his hands behind his back, turned and left the conference hall with an air of arrogance.
Xiao Yifei squinted his eyes, watching Fang Yuan, his mind a whirl of thoughts.
"Sigh! Director Fang is actually a good person! I don’t know what got into him this time, insisting on taking issue with you! I thought a word or two could have settled it, but who knew he’d be so resolute! Xiao, don’t take it to heart. Since you’ve decided to leave, make sure you do well out there!"
Chen Xusheng was a kind-hearted man, and Xiao Yifei had always respected his highly esteemed mentor.
"Director Chen, I understand! When I go out, I certainly won’t let you down! After all, I have worked under you for no short time, and I owe a lot to your care!"
Xiao Yifei’s heartfelt thanks were met with Chen Xusheng waving his hands, "It’s me who was shortsighted, not realizing just how capable you are. Forget about calling me mentor; I think I only have more experience, but when it comes to medical skill, I might not even compare to you!"
Chen Xusheng chuckled bitterly, "If I had known all this, I would never have let things come to this pass, how awful it is!"
Chen Xusheng shook his head and said to Xiao Yifei, "No matter what you achieve in the future, I have some advice for you. You’re still young, at an age of youthful pride. It’s right for you to be spirited, but remember, don’t fall into the trap of arrogance. Most importantly, whether you become a doctor or a teacher, don’t forget the principles of being a person - be kind and virtuous, yet capable!"
Chen Xusheng spoke from the heart, sharing his life lessons with Xiao Yifei, "Of course, when it comes to your enemies, you must show no mercy. While I advise you to be kind, there will still be bad things that happen in society. With such matters, you cannot afford to be lenient, or you’ll be the one regretting it."
Chen Xusheng then coughed, lifted his eyes to glance at Xiao Yifei, and said, "Although I don’t know the exact situation with Li Entang, and it’s not my place to judge, I have to say I really admire the way you handled him—striking him down with the force of thunder!"
Xiao Yifei listened intently to Chen Xusheng’s advice, then bowed deeply with respect. This revered elder of the medical community deserved such a gesture.
"Good lad! Keep it up! Your future will definitely be much more brilliant than this old man’s!"
Chen Xusheng ruffled Sun Li’s hair and left the conference hall with a smile and shaking head, leaving only Xiao Yifei and Nangong Yun behind.
Xiao Yifei looked at Nangong Yun, who was a stunning blend of cool beauty and allure, and his gaze once again swept over her curvaceous body, suddenly feeling the atmosphere become somewhat awkward.
"Vice President Nangong! Let’s go too! There’s really nothing interesting about staying here!"
Xiao Yifei swallowed and said to Nangong Yun.
Xiao Yifei, unlike the other doctors at the hospital, wasn’t filled with dread when it came to the aloof Nangong Yun, but today, for some reason, especially after Nangong Yun admitted she would hate to see him leave the hospital, Xiao Yifei felt uncomfortable around her. Now, he didn’t even dare to utter his usual flirtatious banter.
Nangong Yun responded coolly, lowering her head and obediently following behind Xiao Yifei.
It was the first time Xiao Yifei had seen Nangong Yun ; she wasn’t before! This version of Nangong Yun indeed made him feel uncomfortable.
"Vice... Vice President Nangong, you haven’t eaten anything strange, have you?"
Xiao Yifei asked, shivering with apprehension, wondering if her unusual behavior was due to taking the wrong medicine.
Nangong Yun looked straight at Xiao Yifei with her clear and bright eyes that, in their depths, seemed to be hiding a trace of different emotions.
"Xiao Yifei, did you really write that paper?"
Nangong Yun asked earnestly, as if something had just occurred to her.
"I did write it! What about it?"
Xiao Yifei was puzzled as to why Nangong Yun would suddenly ask about the paper. He tilted his head to look at her, finding today’s Nangong Yun particularly odd.
"Vice President Nangong, since I have received a lot of care from you during my time at the hospital, and I am leaving now, don’t you have anything you want to tell me?"
Gradually, Xiao Yifei had gotten used to Nangong Yun’s state and finally managed to communicate fluently with her.
To his surprise, his attempt to make conversation didn’t elicit a response from Nangong Yun. Curious, he paused, turned around and found that she hadn’t kept up with his pace but was standing still with her head down.
"Vice President Nangong! What are you doing? Is there money on the ground?" Xiao Yifei lifted the corner of his mouth, jokingly saying, "If you don’t have anything to tell me, I have something I want to tell you! Look at you, although you are so beautiful, you are not getting any younger. Didn’t you say last time that you had someone you liked? You should act fast! Don’t wait until it’s too late to regret, you need to take action!"
Xiao Yifei meant well by advising Nangong Yun, but upon hearing his words, she trembled slightly, especially after hearing the phrase "you need to take action." Nangong Yun suddenly raised her head, her bright eyes bravely gazing at Xiao Yifei. Taken completely off guard, Xiao Yifei felt Nangong Yun press her lips—luscious and tempting—against his left cheek with a ’smack’, leaving a mark.
