Chapter 710: Chapter 710 Misunderstanding
Bai Xiao returned to the department, just as Li Xiangqian was bidding farewell to a patient. Seeing her in a daze, he said, "What’s wrong with you? Did Director Jin’s deep bow frighten you? That’s hardly likely, you’re the renowned Doctor Bai, after all."
He still didn’t know the news about Bai Xiao’s departure.
"Director Jin invited everyone to dinner at his home tonight."
"What? Director Jin is known to be a miser, and he’s actually inviting us over for dinner? That doesn’t sound right, it should be to thank you! He should be inviting you alone for dinner! Why the hell are me and Wang Zhiwen being dragged into this?" Li Xiangqian was open-minded and thought even more broadly.
It’s not that he lacked ambition, but he wasn’t overly career-driven, and because of that, he was less prone to jealousy and comparison, making him more simple and pure at heart.
It wasn’t clear whether this side of Li Xiangqian was good or bad.
"It’s because it’s a farewell for me, I’m leaving the hospital. Starting tomorrow, you’ll have the entire consultation room to yourself," Bai Xiao explained at last.
Li Xiangqian was stunned, then he thought of a possibility. Could it be that Bai Xiao was being removed because her professional skills weren’t up to par?
This was not acceptable.
"Let’s go! I’m taking you to the Dean. How can they do this to you? You might not be strong in basic knowledge, you can’t prescribe medicine, and you’re unable to take pulses! But your acupuncture skills! Not just in our hospital, but even considering the whole country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncturists, who can match you?
You’re a specialist with unique skills. Keeping you at our hospital will bring immeasurable impact on its development. The Dean and others shouldn’t just focus on these minor blemishes, it’s a loss of talent! I’ll speak on your behalf." He grabbed Bai Xiao and headed outside.
He had already concocted in his head the Dean and Director’s persecution of Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao laughed so hard she nearly ran out of breath, leaving Li Xiangqian baffled.
"Doctor Bai! You haven’t gone mad from anger, have you? To still laugh!"
There was nothing laughable about the situation.
About to be unemployed and still managing to laugh, it was indeed admirable.
Li Xiangqian was angry at her lack of fight.
"You’ve got it all wrong, the Dean is sending me for further training, not firing me, haha, haha, Doctor Li, you’re truly straightforward. I don’t even know how to thank you. I really appreciate your concern," Bai Xiao laughed uncontrollably.
Li Xiangqian finally got it! He had foolishly jumped to conclusions.
Feeling gutted, he pointed at Bai Xiao, "You! You... great, Doctor Bai, you’ve been misleading me on purpose, taking advantage of a pure and kind person like myself, that’s too much! You’ve hurt my tender heart. Don’t you feel a stab of conscience seeing such an innocent person spun around by your deceit?"
Bai Xiao, with a grin, tucked her hands in her pockets, "That’s twisting the truth. Who has misinformed you? Doctor Bai never said a word about being fired; it’s all your wild imagination, and now you’re blaming innocent people. What kind of way is this to shirk responsibility? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?"
Having said that, she quickly made her getaway, while Li Xiangqian, fuming, clenched his fists and dashed out! By the time he reached the corridor, there was nobody in sight.
"Doctor Bai, that’s bullying! I... I... Today, I’m going to eat two bowls of rice! Humph!" Li Xiangqian tried to sound as righteous as possible.
He closed the door to the consultation room and, ignoring the giggling of the junior nurses, went to the cafeteria for his meal.
No sooner had he disappeared down the stairwell than bursts of laughter erupted in the corridor.
Li Xiangqian’s face darkened.
Bai Xiao, oh Bai Xiao, she was indeed his nemesis.
