Chapter 159
"It’s over!"
"It’s really over this time!"
After hearing Gao Tianqi’s furious roar, An Xiaoqing’s face instantly turned ashen. Her body felt as if it had been drained of all strength, and she collapsed limply into Chenyang’s arms.
Seeing this, Chenyang couldn’t help but frown. "It’s not that serious, is it? In broad daylight, would they really dare to kill me?"
"You don’t understand the City Hospital, and you don’t understand those security guards."
An Xiaoqing explained, her face pale, "The City Hospital has constant internal disputes, but when it comes to outsiders, it’s always been the most united hospital in the province.
You know how it is. Every hospital has to deal with doctor-patient disputes, and there are even cases where a patient’s family members get violent with the doctors.
When other hospitals run into this kind of thing, they always try their best to sweep it under the rug. As long as they can quiet things down, they don’t care if it means firing a doctor who did nothing wrong.
But the City Hospital is different. Anyone who comes here to cause trouble, regardless of who’s right or wrong, will face resistance from the entire hospital.
The Dean says that doctors are the foundation of a hospital. Only by protecting its doctors can a hospital grow and improve. This is one of the main reasons so many doctors want to work at the City Hospital.
Protecting the medical staff at all costs is an ironclad rule at the City Hospital—a rule that every single security guard must obey unconditionally once they start working here."
Chenyang raised an eyebrow. "Your Dean is pretty domineering."
"’Domineering’ doesn’t even cover it. She’s practically an idol to everyone at the hospital." An Xiaoqing paused, then said in exasperation, "Shouldn’t you be worried about whether you’re going to live or die right now? How do you have the energy to wonder if the Dean is domineering or not?"
Chenyang smiled. "Relax. I’m not going to die. And besides, even a Dean who’s that protective of her own can’t be completely unreasonable, right?"
"If Gao Tianqi wanted to kill you for no reason, maybe you could reason with the Dean and find a sliver of a chance to survive.
But based on what just happened, even if Gao Tianqi isn’t in the right, the Dean will still resolutely side with him."
"Tsk. A Dean like that... I’m actually starting to like her."
"She’s about to have you killed, and you still like her?"
"Gao Tianqi is the one who wants to kill me, not the Dean."
"Is there a difference?"
"The difference is huge," Chenyang said with a smile. "It’s true the Dean will protect Gao Tianqi, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’ll want me dead."
"What, are you related to the Dean or something?"
Chenyang was not related to the Dean, nor did he have any other connection to her.
The reason for his confidence lay in a few other things he could rely on.
First, he had his connection to Liu Yun. If necessary, Liu Yun’s reputation should be enough to ensure his safety.
Second, he was confident in his own medical skills.
The foundation of a hospital is its doctors.
And the foundation of a doctor is their medical skill!
Chenyang was certain his medical skills were superior to Gao Tianqi’s!
As long as he could get an opportunity to display his skills, he was fully confident he could win the Dean’s appreciation and resolve this crisis.
Of course, this was all just what Chenyang was thinking.
Whether Liu Yun had the ability to protect him, and whether he could get a chance to show off his skills, were both full of uncertainties.
So, he kept these as backup plans.
His main gambit for dealing with Gao Tianqi right now, however, was An Xiaoqing!
Thinking of this, he shook his head. "The Dean isn’t my relative. I don’t even know if the Dean is a man or a woman."
An Xiaoqing rolled her eyes. "Then what makes you so sure the Dean won’t want you dead?"
Chenyang said meaningfully, "Because of you."
"Me?" An Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment. "I may be a director, but my authority is nothing compared to Gao Tianqi’s. Trying to convince the Dean to help you right in front of him is completely unrealistic."
Chenyang smiled. "I never said you should try to convince the Dean."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Get me a job here!"
A job?
An Xiaoqing froze, not understanding what he meant for a moment.
Chenyang explained with a smile, "Didn’t you just say that the security guards’ duty is to unconditionally protect the hospital’s medical staff?
If I’m an outsider, they’ll definitely follow Gao Tianqi’s orders and come at me to kill. But if I’m also a doctor here, wouldn’t they have to protect me, too?"
Hearing this, a look of sudden realization dawned on An Xiaoqing’s face.
"That’s right! If you’re a doctor here, too, then the guards won’t dare to touch you."
She was so excited because this method could actually resolve the crisis.
But in her excitement, her voice jumped an octave, and her words carried directly to Gao Tianqi’s ears.
However, Gao Tianqi didn’t panic. Instead, he just scoffed, "Are you two daydreaming? You think just anyone can waltz in here and become a doctor at the City Hospital?"
A corner of An Xiaoqing’s mouth lifted. "For other people, it would certainly be difficult to get a job as a doctor here. But for me, the Director of Personnel... forget a person. If I wanted to, I could get a dog a government-paid job here!"
