Last night, the president of Sea Merchant Company, Liang Baoguo, had already received a call. Hearing Li Tingyan explain the whole story now, he couldn’t help but plead for Ni Jia despite his disappointment in her,
"Tingyan, Ni Jia indeed did wrong this time, but she has served as a doctor for my company for two years. Her parents have also contributed greatly with medical equipment. Anyway, you’ve already taught her a lesson, and no lives were lost in the end, so why not let her go?"
Li Tingyan said resolutely, "I’ve never refused what President Liang has said before, but I won’t compromise on this matter.
Firstly, she attempted to destroy the relationship between my wife and me, which amounts to marital interference,
Secondly, the reason no lives were lost this time is because my wife’s excellent medical skills saved the patient, preventing an unrecoverable outcome!
But this doesn’t justify Ni Jia escaping punishment; she must pay the price!"
Liang Baoguo sighed, "Tingyan, I don’t mean to convince you, but I hope you understand that although the incident was grave, there were no casualties.
Plus, you have already reprimanded Ni Jia. Considering her and her parents’ contributions to the company, they have valid reasons for reducing the penalty."
Cold air seemed to emanate from Li Tingyan’s face; he clearly understood the subtext in Liang Baoguo’s words, which was essentially about not completely overthrowing the other party.
Ultimately, Ni Jia might exploit the reason for his actions to handle the situation leniently, which would ironically benefit her!
It was truly exasperating. Did it mean Ni Jia’s bullying of his wife would just be disregarded? That was utterly unjust!
Li Tingyan took a deep breath and said in a stern voice, "Then what is your suggestion, President?"
"Of course, I support you. I also don’t want to let Ni Jia go freely; after all, her actions are totally undeserving of the doctor’s title. If she were to return to the Fishermen District after just a few months detained, who knows if she’d harm others."
Liang Baoguo said coldly, "I think the best approach is to spare her, but it’s contingent on her parents donating all their managed medical equipment to our company’s service.
Ni Jia should no longer work in the Fishermen District. We just happen to have a remote area in Beijiang lacking a doctor; she can be sent there to help the staff with medical treatment as a form of redemption, and she won’t return to Pingjing for ten years."
Beijiang is one of the most remote borders, where snow falls year-round and the land is barren; conditions are extremely harsh. Due to these tough conditions, very few medical staff are willing to work there, and many there perish because of inadequate medical facilities.
If Ni Jia were sent there, it would be much more meaningful.
Li Tingyan found this solution viable and nodded in agreement.
Liang Baoguo was worried Li Tingyan might be blinded by love and disregard the advice; hearing his approval, he laughed heartily,
"I told you, you have foresight, Tingyan. Your career in the company will flourish, and this incident could be a blessing in disguise. You and your wife have made indispensable contributions and will be rewarded."
Nianyang woke up in the afternoon, having rested for over twenty hours; finally, she had regained half her energy....
