Lei Qingfeng’s stomach ached from laughter, his tone growing even more arrogant:
“Chen Xiao, a person should know their place. I advise you to obediently be a driver for the Song family and stop having unrealistic pipe dreams. With Director Gou here, let alone this lifetime, you won’t be able to return to work at the Central Hospital in your next life, hahaha…”
Without a word, Chen Xiao directly pulled out the specially appointed contract Bai Su had given him and slammed it onto Lei Qingfeng’s face.
“You dare to lay hands on me?”
Lei Qingfeng’s eyes bulged with rage. He abruptly turned and roared at the security guards behind him:
“What are you all standing around for like idiots? This surname Chen has assaulted me in public, severely disrupting the order of the Central Hospital. Arrest him immediately and call the police…”
Before he finished speaking, he inadvertently saw the red seal and Bai Su’s personal signature on the contract. He was instantly startled and nervously handed the contract to Gou Shunquan:
“Old… Old Gou, this… this really seems to be a specially appointed contract from our hospital?”
Gou Shunquan quickly took the contract and examined it carefully. His expression gradually became solemn. After reading the entire contract, he couldn’t help but exclaim in disbelief:
“Dean Bai actually specially appointed Chen Xiao! And as a resident physician! How… how is this possible?”
Lei Qingfeng’s eyes glinted with ferocity, and he said viciously:
“Old Gou, since even you think it’s impossible, then this contract is probably fake! It’s one thing to assault me in public, but to dare forge an appointment contract. Surname Chen, you’re finished!”
Saying this, he impatiently reached out towards Chen Xiao in the car window, his posture suggesting he was about to forcefully drag Chen Xiao out.
Gou Shunquan made a decisive move and suddenly grabbed Lei Qingfeng’s hand at the critical moment.
He politely returned the contract to Chen Xiao, forcing a smile that was more reluctant than genuine:
“Dr. Chen, welcome back. Please park your car first, and I will personally escort you through the onboarding procedures.”
Noticing that Gou Shunquan’s smile looked worse than crying, and Lei Qingfeng also wore a look of unwilling resentment, Chen Xiao felt even more triumphant. He floored the accelerator, and his Lamborghini roared into the underground garage.
Lei Qingfeng was so angry he almost exploded on the spot:
“Old Gou, that appointment contract is most likely forged. Why didn’t you confirm it first before letting him go?”
Gou Shunquan said sinisterly:
“Whether the contract is real or fake, a mere intern doctor who just graduated university cannot possibly handle the work of a resident physician. As long as we assign him a few difficult patients next, he’ll be begging to leave the Central Hospital, hehe.”
Lei Qingfeng said unwillingly:
“But everyone says his Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Needle can bring the dead back to life. Even the most difficult patients can’t stump him, right?”
Gou Shunquan shook his head confidently:
“His Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Needle is indeed miraculous, but it can only prolong the lives of critically ill patients. Its limitations are too great!”
Fearing that Chen Xiao might run away, the short and stout Gou Shunquan, who was like a spinning top, eagerly chased after Chen Xiao. He then personally led Chen Xiao to the medical affairs department to complete all the onboarding procedures.
Soon, Chen Xiao, once again clad in a brand-new white coat, familiarized himself with clocking in at the office.
As the intern clinical skills competition was about to begin, including Li Bingxue, three intern doctors from the emergency department in the same cohort as Chen Xiao were enthusiastically discussing in the office.
“I heard this intern clinical skills competition is extremely fierce. Over a dozen clinical departments in the hospital, with more than fifty intern doctors, will be doing rounds and practical assessments under the leadership of Elder Dean Lin and eight vice-deans. Yet, there are only three positions for permanent employment!”
“Alas! I get scared just seeing patients bleed, let alone clinical practice. I definitely have no chance of getting a permanent position early.”
“Bingxue, among this batch of intern doctors, there are very few with higher academic qualifications than you. Do you have confidence?”
Casting an intentional or unintentional glance at Chen Xiao’s former desk, Li Bingxue feigned humility and shook her head:
“There’s always someone better. How can I be confident? But certain scumbags who have already been fired are definitely not getting permanent positions!”
As her words fell, not only the other two intern doctors, but also doctors and nurses present like Niu Kunpeng and Hu Yun, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Just as everyone was laughing uncontrollably, Chen Xiao, in his white coat, walked in with潇洒, bathed in the bright morning sun.
“Chen… Chen Xiao!”
Li Bingxue suddenly stood up as if she had seen a ghost.
Recalling the humiliation of being forced to kneel before Chen Xiao at Jishetang yesterday, she couldn’t help but glare with malice and asked aggressively:
“You’ve already been fired, what are you back for?”
Niu Kunpeng said sarcastically:
“A mere intern doctor who has been fired still has the nerve to wear a white coat. Chen Xiao, are you trying to kill us with laughter?”
Chen Xiao chuckled and directly took out his brand-new work ID to clock in. With a “ding” sound, the time clock chimed with a pleasant electronic female voice:
“Chen Xiao, a new day has begun, keep up the good work!”
