Upon arriving at the hospital, Xia Canglan separated from her father and went to the nurses’ station to change into her nurse’s uniform.
As soon as she came out, she was pulled aside by a round-faced nurse, Zhou Fumei, who excitedly whispered all the gossip she knew.
From the hospital director to every little detail, from patients with ruptured hemorrhoids,
she knew it all. No one in the hospital could escape her keen eyes.
“Lanlan, have you heard? There’s been a major incident on West Street.”
“No, I came straight to the hospital this morning. I didn’t have time to go anywhere else. What? Is there any gossip there?” Xia Canglan raised an eyebrow.
“Let me tell you, my mom went to West Street to buy groceries this morning and saw three people, I don’t know who they were, lying naked and unconscious on the side of the road. Oh my, you have no idea how big this has gotten. I heard that nothing like this has happened in years.” ”
And then, do you think those people will be released?” Xia Canglan just wanted to know what outcome the reborn female protagonist would get.
“Is that even a question? Definitely—”
“Definitely what? What are you doing? What are you making such a racket so early in the morning? Don’t you have any work to do? Which department are you nurses from?
I’m going to report this to your supervisor and have you nurses remember the hospital rules again.”
A loud shout came from behind them, startling the chubby Zhou Fumei. She turned around and saw it was Deputy Director Rao, the strictest and most troublesome person in the hospital. She cursed her bad luck inwardly.
“Excuse me, Deputy Director Rao, we—” Zhou Fumei was about to apologize when
Xia Canglan raised her hand, glanced at her watch, and swept her gaze over Deputy Director Rao, who was clearly looking for trouble with a smug look in her eyes.
“Deputy Director Rao, it’s only 7:30 now, half an hour before the official start time of 8:00. This is our private time. Can’t we use our private time to discuss some personal matters?
Or is it that Deputy Director Rao, who always arrives on time, is now going to ask the hospital director to change the hospital’s working hours?”
“You…” Deputy Director Rao’s face darkened.
He hadn’t expected to be humiliated by a mere nurse. This hurt his pride, and he absolutely wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
“Which department are you a nurse in? What’s your name? Where’s your head nurse?”
“Ugh, Deputy Director Rao, how can you be so clueless? What? What do you want after knowing my name and department?
Is there something wrong with what I just said? Or are we wrong for not obeying your orders? Are you trying to get me fired?”
“You, you…”
Deputy Director Rao’s mind was filled with the image of this little nurse calling him “Deputy Director” repeatedly.
He was so angry that his hands trembled slightly, and he couldn’t even finish his sentence. And that was exactly what he had been thinking. He was the deputy director of the hospital, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would soon be promoted to the director.
A little nurse dared to embarrass him. He was just giving her a small punishment to teach her a lesson. How could he be wrong?
Xia Canglan ignored him completely and turned to leave with the terrified Zhou Fumei.
Back at their posts, Zhou Fumei, who had regained her senses, almost screamed at her,
“You, you… Lanlan, are you crazy? Didn’t I tell you not to mess with Deputy Director Rao in this hospital? You have no idea how petty he is. Be careful, he might really make things difficult for you.”
Seeing Fumei so worried she was about to bang her head against the wall, Xia Canglan patted her head.
“Don’t worry, he’ll only make things difficult for himself later.”
Zhou Fumei didn’t understand, thinking she didn’t comprehend her meaning, and was still incredibly worried.
With something on her mind, she was a bit careless, making several mistakes and getting scolded by the head nurse. She then dejectedly hid in a corner, reflecting on her actions.
Meanwhile, Xia Canglan, who was helping out, was unaware that because of her words, someone would worry so much that they couldn’t concentrate on their work all day.
Nursing work was a piece of cake for her;
Xia Canglan, already familiar with the nursing procedures, was like a different person today. Not only was her work efficiency greatly improved, but she also made no mistakes, astonishing everyone.
When the head nurse came over to ask her why she was suddenly working so hard, Xia Canglan was stunned.
Was this considered hard work? It was just because the work was so simple; she was simply helping out in another department after finishing her tasks here. How could that be considered hard work?
However, Xia Canglan wasn’t foolish enough to say it aloud. Instead, she smiled and said to the head nurse…
“Head Nurse, I was just putting what I’ve recently learned into practice at work. I didn’t think too much about it; I just wanted to do as much as I could.” No way, how could I be so kind?
The head nurse smiled and nodded. “Good, I know you’ve been working hard. Keep it up.”
After watching the head nurse leave, Xia Canglan took advantage of her break time to quietly slip the prepared complaint letter under the director’s door and turned to leave.
Xia Canglan curled her lips. She wasn’t that kind of generous person; revenge was her consistent principle.
Moreover, in the original text, this Deputy Director Rao had no clean record whatsoever.
He became a doctor at the hospital through his wife’s influence, and despite having only rudimentary medical skills, he dared to treat people haphazardly.
Every time something went wrong, he would blame the patients, saying they died because they didn’t take their medication as instructed, and that it had nothing to do with him.
During a sensitive period, he rose to become the deputy director of the hospital by reporting his wife’s family, who had a landlord background.
Later, relying on his powerful connections, he would have young girls he fancied ruined their families and left them alone before forcibly taking them.
Despite his advanced age, he had harmed many young women.
Xia Canglan clicked her tongue, secretly scorning him. No matter where she was, she hated these hypocritical, ungrateful wretches.
Besides, she had offended him so much today; he probably couldn’t resist arresting her today, right?
Tsk tsk,
Xia Canglan stroked her chin, pondering. Had she acted too quickly? Should she give that fat pig a chance, let her have some fun too?
This thought only lasted a second before Xia Canglan quickly dismissed it.
She also had family to care for; she couldn’t waste her time on these useless people.
Moreover, her main target wasn’t that fat pig, but the force behind the Xia family that wanted to bring them down.
Xia Canglan was unaware that her prediction was correct. Deputy Director Rao, returning to his office, didn’t want to wait a moment longer.
He immediately called those who had been cooperating with him on the “Down with the Landlord” campaign, instructing them to teach her a lesson today.
However, before he could speak, his office door was pushed open.
“Who is it? Can’t you see me… Dean? You… what brings you here? And—you brought so many people? Do you need something?”
Deputy Director Rao himself didn’t realize that his legs trembled slightly when he saw the uniformed men behind the Dean.
The Dean didn’t speak, only looking at him with disappointment, before turning to make way for the people behind him.
“Deputy Director Rao, we have received a formal complaint alleging that you have poisoned people with counterfeit drugs and harmed more than a dozen families. Please come with us.”
“No, I didn’t do it. You have no evidence, you can’t…”
Before Deputy Director Rao could finish his stubborn words, he saw the uniformed leader pull out a worn-out account book and hold it up in front of him.
He suddenly felt as if all his strength had been drained, his legs went weak in despair, and he muttered,
“How could this be? My… I’m finished, I’m finished…”
Watching Deputy Director Rao being taken away, the dean pursed his lips, clenched his fists and then loosened them, cursing him inwardly as a useless piece of work who couldn’t even handle such a small matter.
