From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Chunliang said, "Director Liang, actually we’re neighbors, we both live in Hidden Dragon Villa. It’s just that you live in the house district and I live in the villa district. We’ll have to stay in touch more often." He finished this sentence and smiled, looking at each deputy dean one by one, ending with Liang Guangsu, who no longer dared to meet his gaze.

"Excuse me!" Xu Chunliang turned and left.

Yan Huaiyi’s office was silent. After a while, Zhao Hongxia stated she had to inspect the work and was the first to leave, Li Chunyan also found an excuse to leave. Things had reached this point; the more people, the more embarrassing it became, and the harder it was to wrap up.

Pan Junfeng said, "Old Liang, we’ve said what needs to be said, let’s not affect Dean Yan’s work."

It was then that Liang Guangsu realized it was time to leave; as he stepped out, he nearly stumbled and fell, luckily Pan Junfeng supported him in time.

The two of them reached the hallway. Pan Junfeng could see that Liang Guangsu had been thoroughly defeated by Xu Chunliang; truly feeling both anger at his incompetence and sorrow for his misfortune, he sighed and said, "Want to come to my office for a bit?"

Liang Guangsu shook his head, "I... need to check on the section."

Pan Junfeng knew that Liang Guangsu must be regretting it; this uproar not only failed to restore his dignity but rather left him with none. Despite being old classmates, Pan Junfeng didn’t know Liang Guangsu’s exact financial status, how had Xu Chunliang just arrived and known Liang Guangsu owned so much property?

If it’s true, Liang Guangsu’s assets total over twenty million. Although the chief positions at their hospital did have high incomes, these assets didn’t align with his public income. Killing with a borrowed knife, although Xu Chunliang was young, his tactics were ruthless. For a long time, Liang Guangsu would live in fear.

Pan Junfeng discovered one thing: Yan Huaiyi didn’t just bring in a good sword with Xu Chunliang; both in combat and intellect, he far surpassed the likes of Yang Yunfeng. This was only his second day at work, and he had already successfully taken control of the hospital office, chased away Yang Yunfeng, and insisted on revealing Liang Guangsu’s name—not out of a strong sense of justice, but to choose the right target for sacrifice. While crushing Liang Guangsu, he also intimidated the leadership of the Infectious Disease Hospital.

Pan Junfeng now had to reconsider how to deal with Xu Chunliang, not to mention others. Wouldn’t it be great if Xu Chunliang were in his faction?

Party Secretary Sun Weimin, although didn’t leave his office, was constantly paying attention to the development of events. After hearing about today’s full course, Sun Weimin found himself equally confused; Yan Huaiyi had brought in a heart-killing sword.

Looking at the names on the hiring list with Xu Chunliang’s name, he felt mixed emotions, with a strong premonition: if the usual hiring process was followed, the ultimate winner would inevitably be Xu Chunliang. None of the other names on the list possessed Xu Chunliang’s means or cunning.

If he intervened, he feared he would become Xu Chunliang’s enemy. Sun Weimin inhaled sharply on his cigarette, feeling that the general trend was heading away.

Before the end of the workday, Section Chief Jiang Meiju specifically circled the hospital office ostensibly to check Xu Chunliang’s work situation. In reality, she was there to express gratitude. How could Jiang Meiju not know the commotion caused by Liang Guangsu’s disgrace?

Jiang Meiju was disgusted with Liang Guangsu; why did he drag her down when he himself was caught as a typical example? Shouldn’t she, as the hospital’s personnel section chief, have some face? Her mood was quite anxious, too; if Xu Chunliang could disregard Liang Guangsu, he could do the same to her. The money wasn’t the issue, but being publicly announced for tardiness was too humiliating.

Xu Chunliang was very polite to Jiang Meiju, inviting her to sit down and offering her a bottle of mineral water, calling her Sister Jiang warmly.

Having worked in organizational personnel, Jiang Meiju knew more about Xu Chunliang’s profile than others; he seemed actually quite reasonable compared to his rumors.

Xu Chunliang said, "Sister Jiang, don’t worry. I clearly distinguish who treats me well and who doesn’t. You’re the one who personally brought me into the hospital office; if I were to investigate you, wouldn’t that be repaying kindness with malice?"

In her heart, Jiang Meiju thought she merely led him along; it wasn’t that big of a favor. But since he showed her respect, she had to accept this token.

Jiang Meiju laughed, "Xiaoxu, you young people are so capable and bold. I’ll have to learn more from you in the future."

"I should be the one seeking advice from Sister Jiang."

Jiang Meiju said, "I won’t hold back with you. If there’s anything unclear in the future at work, feel free to ask me, I’m sure to speak without reserve."

Jiang Meiju didn’t stay long; on her way out she met Pan Yingying coming in, who smiled at her, and Jiang Meiju nodded in acknowledgment.

After Jiang Meiju left, Pan Yingying said, "Section Chief Jiang comes around often."

Kang Yueqi coughed, making Pan Yingying seem to understand something, she then quietly said to Kang Yueqi, "Did Director Xu also publicize her tardiness?"

Kang Yueqi glanced at Xu Chunliang, who was already moved to a small cubicle, and whispered, "Don’t talk too much."

Pan Yingying followed her gaze, looking inside with a look of infatuation, "He’s really handsome!"

Kang Yueqi whispered in her ear, "I advise you not to fall into this."

Suddenly reminded of her task, Pan Yingying hurried to Xu Chunliang’s small cubicle, knocked on the glass door, and softened her voice, "Director Xu, Dean Pan invites you over."

Having witnessed Liang Guangsu’s predicament, Pan Junfeng decided to take the initiative; even if he couldn’t become friends with Xu Chunliang, he didn’t want to have such an enemy.

When Xu Chunliang walked into Pan Junfeng’s office, Pan Junfeng had already made tea, warmly greeting him, "Xiaoxu, come take a seat."

Seeing his attitude, Xu Chunliang knew his plan to sacrifice Liang Guangsu had achieved the expected effect.

"Dean Pan, what do you need me for?"

Pan Junfeng poured a cup of tea for Xu Chunliang, who noticed it was Pu’er, and promptly said, "You like drinking Pu’er; I’ll bring you a couple of packs to try later."

Pan Junfeng said, "Don’t be so polite with me."

Xu Chunliang said, "It’s proper to be polite to leaders."

Pan Junfeng laughed, "I’ve actually heard your name before."

Xu Chunliang said, "My reputation isn’t very good."

Pan Junfeng said, "Controversial people usually have capabilities, only those with outstanding abilities are worthy of being called controversial."

Xu Chunliang smiled, "This matter cannot be discussed."

Both laughed simultaneously.

Pan Junfeng said, "I have a very important issue to discuss with you. As you may have seen, our Infectious Disease Hospital’s facilities are outdated and the ward area is quite small. Despite several renovations, the fundamental problems haven’t been solved. Up till now, the total number of wards hasn’t exceeded five hundred. We’ve submitted multiple requests to the city, and last year the city approved a plot of land for us. It’s located in the old mining district. Although the land has been approved, funds from the city have not yet arrived, so we haven’t been able to start any construction; it’s still in the preliminary planning and design stages."

In his heart, Xu Chunliang wondered why Dean Yan hadn’t mentioned this project. How come such a significant infrastructure project was managed by Pan Junfeng?

Pan Junfeng said, "I’ve learned some about your past work; you have experience in this area, so I’m hoping you’ll help give some advice."

Xu Chunliang said, "Dean Pan, I’m new here; what advice could I offer? When it comes to design, I do know some professionals, likewise for construction work. But you didn’t seek me out for that, did you?"

Pan Junfeng laughed, "It’s no wonder we get along; you immediately understand upon chatting."
