Chapter 121
Chenyang nodded helplessly.
He had, in fact, bought the condoms.
He’d never intended to actually give them to An Xiaoqing as a gift, but the moment he’d gone to buy them, he had fallen right into the two nurses’ trap.
"I used to think the City Hospital was the most respectable institution in Yang City, a holy place with nothing but angels in white and suffering patients. But now... it seems no better than one of those small clinics that use life-saving medicine for promotional stunts."
"That was just the personal behavior of a few nurses. It doesn’t represent the City Hospital! This is still a very good place."
"It’s not just those nurses who’ve shattered my illusions!"
An Xiaoqing knew Chenyang was also making a veiled jab at her for secretly masturbating during work hours.
Normally, even if she knew she was in the wrong, she would have argued her case anyway.
But right now, she wasn’t in the mood.
She wanted to figure out exactly which of her clueless subordinates were scheming behind her back.
She also wanted to get the broken object out from inside her as quickly as possible.
"When you knocked on the door just now, did you see the sign hanging on the handle?"
"What sign?"
"The words ’Do Not Disturb’ were written on it in a conspicuous red font."
Chenyang thought for a moment. "No, there was nothing on the handle. But... I think that nurse was holding something that looked like a sign."
"Heh. It seems I was too lenient with those girls yesterday. Underestimating me behind my back is one thing, but now they’re actually plotting against me."
An Xiaoqing clenched her fist slightly. Based on what Chenyang said, she had a good idea of which three nurses were involved and was already planning how to teach them a lesson.
But first, she had to solve her own embarrassing problem.
With that in mind, she looked at Chenyang. "You’re a doctor, right?"
"Yes. I studied Western medicine, but I’ve also been learning traditional Chinese medicine from my family since I was a child."
"Oh, a man of many talents."
"I’m hoping you can give me a fair chance at the position."
"I can give you a chance, but you need to do me a favor!"
"Is this a trade?"
"You could see it that way," An Xiaoqing said with a haughty smile. "The City Hospital isn’t just the top medical institution in the city; it ranks among the top three in the entire province!
Countless medical professionals want to work here every year, but the number who actually get in can be counted on one hand. And every single one of those few has to go through me first before they’re qualified to even set foot in this hospital."
"So you’re saying there’s no way for me to get a position here without going through you?"
"Theoretically, yes, that’s correct."
As she spoke, An Xiaoqing placed her hands on the desk and leaned forward.
Her full, rounded breasts, still not properly concealed, once again came into Chenyang’s view.
But before he could get a good look, An Xiaoqing’s voice cut in again. "Not everyone gets a chance to have me help them.
And not everyone is qualified for me to pull strings for them."
Chenyang knew An Xiaoqing was telling the truth.
Yangcheng City Hospital was considered a top-tier hospital, not just in the city but in the entire province.
Its facilities were on par with those of first-tier, or even top-tier, major hospitals.
Furthermore, every doctor on staff was a renowned leader in their respective medical field.
Many of them were even adjunct professors and lecturers from the nation’s most prestigious medical universities!
Any doctor who came out of this hospital had countless inherent advantages over their peers from other institutions.
This was the main reason Chenyang wanted to do his internship and eventually work here!
However, while he could accept the City Hospital’s high standards, he couldn’t stand An Xiaoqing’s high-and-mighty attitude.
The City Hospital’s fame and prowess came from its countless brilliant doctors, not from her, An Xiaoqing!
’Besides, I already caught her doing something so embarrassing. What right does she have to act so proud and forceful?’
At this thought, Chenyang gave a meaningful smile. "You might be able to decide whether I get into this hospital, but I can decide whether or not to tell people what you were secretly doing just now."
Hearing this, An Xiaoqing’s expression froze. "Are you threatening me?"
"No, you said it was a trade, didn’t you? So I’m proposing one now: your secret in exchange for a job here. As for the ’favor’ part, you’ll need to offer another bargaining chip for that."
"Kid, in all my years, no one has ever spoken to me like that!"
"Well, now there is!"
An Xiaoqing said through gritted teeth, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll agree now, only to find a way to have you fired after you start?"
"Director An, if you’re going to ask for a favor, you should at least act like it. If you keep this up, I’m leaving."
Seeing Chenyang actually turn to leave, An Xiaoqing said hastily, "Wait! I’ll get you the job! And I’m willing to offer something else in good faith for your help."
A flash of delight flickered in Chenyang’s eyes.
His goal achieved, he stopped making things difficult for An Xiaoqing.
"See? Was that so hard? Now, what do you need my help with?"
"I... something is stuck inside me?"
If An Xiaoqing had only said the words, Chenyang still might not have understood.
But as she spoke, she also gestured awkwardly toward the remaining piece of the bright green object on the desk, and then toward the space between her legs.
Seeing this, the corners of Chenyang’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
’She must’ve been having a wild time to snap that thing in half.’
"Cut the crap. Can you get it out or not?"
"Of course." Chenyang smiled. "Take off your clothes and spread your legs."
