From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Li Shuangshuang and Pan Yingying looked at Xu Chunliang in astonishment. Didn’t they just instruct him? You must not take attendance too seriously. Be sure to identify who should be recorded and who shouldn’t. Is this new deputy director somewhat low on emotional intelligence? Even dared to mess with Director Liang Guangsu, known for being tough enough to slam the table at the dean.

Liang Guangsu hadn’t gone far. Xu Chunliang’s words were heard clearly by him, causing him to stop in his tracks, turn around, and coldly stare at Xu Chunliang: "You don’t recognize me?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "We just met. You are Director Liang Guangsu of the Gastroenterology department."

Liang Guangsu, hearing his name called directly, felt a surge of anger and pointed at Xu Chunliang’s nose: "Mark me late? You go ahead!"

Li Shuangshuang held a notepad but didn’t dare to record it. Xu Chunliang took the notepad from her, writing as he spoke: "Liang Guangsu, fifteen minutes late."

Liang Guangsu was so furious that he began cursing Xu Chunliang in front of everyone: "Are you that *bleep* eager to quit?"

Xu Chunliang handed the notepad back to Li Shuangshuang and walked towards Liang Guangsu: "I’m enforcing hospital rules. If you’re late, I’ll record it. The rule is a hundred yuan fine for being fifteen minutes late."

Liang Guangsu pulled out a hundred yuan bill and threw it at Xu Chunliang’s feet: "Never seen money? Take it!"

Xu Chunliang glanced at the banknote and sneered: "You’re a department director. Don’t know how to set an example? Making a scene publicly at your age. Do you know what the word ’embarrassment’ even is?"

"Who the *bleep* are you to lecture me," Liang Guangsu couldn’t bear such disrespect. How could such an inexperienced kid dare to publicly chastise him?

Pan Yingying advised from the side: "Director Xu, Director Liang has been with our hospital for a long time. Don’t be too strict." She felt Xu Chunliang was too young and lacked flexibility. In situations like this, just pretend not to see it.

Actually, Xu Chunliang was intentional. Yan Huaiyi couldn’t break the stalemate because there were too many hard cases in this hospital. Why bring Xu Chunliang over? They valued his daring and fighting spirit.

Xu Chunliang didn’t come to the Infectious Disease Hospital to be a pushover. He wanted to help Yan Huaiyi break the deadlock as soon as possible. The quickest method to establish authority is to find someone worthy to make an example of. Yang Yunfeng was unpleasant, but not significant enough. Xu Chunliang was looking for a suitable candidate when Liang Guangsu unwittingly walked right into it. In the hospital, apart from the hospital leaders, the directors of key departments wielded the most authority.

People like Liang Guangsu who are domineering have the final say within their departments and, relying on seniority, disregard even the dean. So why would he care about a newcomer?

Xu Chunliang said: "Seniors especially need to follow rules. Playing the seniority card won’t do."

Liang Guangsu, hearing this, became even angrier, rushed forward, and pointed at Xu Chunliang: "You *bleep*, explain who’s playing that card?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Enough with the *bleep* this and *bleep* that. I’m advising you *bleep* to swallow it back, or I won’t care what kind of expert or director you are."

Liang Guangsu roared: "What, you want to fight me?"

Xu Chunliang bent down, picked up the money from the ground, shook it, then casually flicked it towards the nearby isolation rail. Bang! The rail’s horizontal bar was sliced open by the banknote.

Liang Guangsu could hardly believe his eyes, staring in astonishment at the gap in the rail. Does this guy know magic? Used a banknote to cut through a steel barrier. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would suspect something fake. But since he supplied the money, it surely wasn’t fake.

Xu Chunliang said: "The money’s real. Director Liang, do you think your bones are harder than this steel bar?"

Gulp, Liang Guangsu swallowed hard.

Xu Chunliang said: "I advise you not to affect our work."

Seeing Xu Chunliang’s action, Liang Guangsu had a retreating impulse, but couldn’t brush off his pride. At that moment, seeing Jiang Meiju, the HR Director, walking over revived his spirits: "If you’re keeping attendance, treat everyone equally."

Pan Yingying looked at Xu Chunliang, waiting for his cue. Xu Chunliang said: "Our work doesn’t need your guidance. Names get recorded when I say so."

Liang Guangsu was infuriated by this arrogant young man and stormed to the dean’s office, banging on the desk at Dean Yan: "Dean Yan, what kind of people are you employing? I’ve contributed immensely to this hospital, working diligently every day. Yet he marked my attendance. Why ignore my overtime? Also, why not treat everyone equally? Jiang Meiju was late too, why record only my name?"

Dean Yan hadn’t expected that Xu Chunliang would provoke a veteran just after starting. He spoke to Liang Guangsu with utmost politeness: "Director Liang, Xiaoxu just started and isn’t fully acquainted with the hospital yet... doing things a little too diligently."

Liang Guangsu said: "I don’t care about all that. Frankly, it’s us medical staff working hard on the front lines, while the administrative and logistical staff are supposed to serve us. Now they’ve climbed over our heads. If you don’t intervene, we can’t work."

Dean Yan asked: "Did you... were you late?"

Liang Guangsu was stumped by his question. Being late was indeed a fact.

Dean Yan said: "Be careful next time."

Unable to gain face from Dean Yan, Liang Guangsu left angrily and headed to see Vice Dean Pan Junfeng.

The Infectious Disease Hospital isn’t large, with just over 500 staff members. News of Liang Guangsu’s setback had already spread quickly through the hospital.
