106: Chapter 106: Awarding You a Banner of Honor 106: Chapter 106: Awarding You a Banner of Honor The phone was answered quickly on the other end.
Su He didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
“Director Zhong, I need a favor.
Dr.
An, who just transferred to our department from cardiology, could you please transfer her to another team?”
“Dr.
An is exceptionally skilled, and it’s truly a waste of talent to have her in our group, as you know I’m not good at mentoring.
Everyone in my group grows wildly, and Dr.
An deserves a better team.”
A few colleagues who grew wildly: “…”
An Xueyin’s face darkened slightly.
Although Su He’s words seemed appropriate and were not meant to disparage her, it felt extremely harsh and embarrassing to her.
Su He was being ironically critical of her!
And her instincts were not wrong.
That was indeed what Su He meant!
But in this situation and from her position, she couldn’t retort against Su He, another point being that Su He held a higher position than her.
It was not clear what was said on the other end, but everyone heard Su He say, “Okay, no problem.”
After hanging up, Su He looked at An Xueyin, “Dr.
An, I’ve sorted it out for you, no need to thank me.
Please hurry up and report to Director Xie Hong.”
After saying that, she didn’t wait for a response and turned to look at Lu Zhenyu and others, coldly saying two words: “Get working!”
Everyone dispersed instantly, each busy with their tasks.
Su He also returned to her office.
Only An Xueyin was left in the office.
Soon, the people from cardiothoracic surgery began to gossip about Su He behind her back.
They said she was arrogant and impolite, looked down on others, bullied and marginalized new colleagues, and flaunted her power because she was an associate chief physician.
Lu Zhenyu and Yang Cong happened to pass by and overheard some nurses and doctors discussing, so they paid attention and listened.
What a revelation!
Without knowing this, they became increasingly angered, almost to the point of cursing on the spot.
But when they returned to the office, they saw Lan Yan with a somber face, as if there was a fire burning above her head, and it seemed as if the words “Don’t provoke me!” were written on her forehead.
“What’s wrong with you?” Lu Zhenyu asked as he sat down next to her.
Lan Yan ignored him and picked up a patient’s test request form before standing up and leaving.
At this time, Huang Yuan, a doctor in their group, dared to speak, “Sister Yan got angry because she heard people talking about the director when she just came back, and she scolded those people on the spot.”
Lu Zhenyu and Yang Cong: “…” Lan Yan is fierce indeed.
These words soon reached Su He’s ears.
“Boss, aren’t you angry?
These words were obviously targeting you.”
Seeing Su He indifferent and calm upon hearing this, Lan Yan asked in confusion.
Su He took off her glasses and rubbed her brow bone before looking up at her, “Why should I be angry?
Knowing that this is done on purpose, why should I get angry?
It’s tiring!
I’m already tired from work, do I still have to care about these rumors?
If I did, I wouldn’t have a life, right?”
Lan Yan was actually defending Su He, because she knew that Su He was not that kind of person.
Before the boss returned to the country, no one ever spoke of her like that.
Wasn’t everyone respectful towards her?
Moreover, in Su He’s eyes, patients were always the priority, and her heart was only filled with medicine.
Su He knew about her rebuking the doctors from another department over this matter, “Just let it be, I have my plans.
Besides, have you ever seen me at a disadvantage?
Huh?”
Lan Yan blinked her eyes, realizing indeed she had not.
Thinking of this, she also felt less angry.
It was six in the evening.
As soon as Su He walked out of her office, she received a message from Jing Xuan: [Baobao, I’m at your hospital’s urology department, come over.]
Her eyebrows slightly raised, wondering how she ended up in the urology department.
She replied with two words: [Okay.]
She headed to the elevator and encountered a person, exactly An Xueyin, whom she had just criticized today.
She glanced indifferently at her without acknowledging her.
But that didn’t mean An Xueyin would stay quiet.
Just as she stood at the elevator waiting, she heard An Xueyin’s sarcastic voice rise up: “Wow, Director Su is really something, leaving work on time every day, unlike us who are dead tired from work.”
Su He turned back with a smile that was more of a sneer, “What, envious or jealous?
If Dr.
An is capable enough, you too could sit in this position and enjoy this privilege.
If not capable, then stop nagging here!”
“You!” An Xueyin’s lips curved into a sinister arc, her tone eerie, “Su He, don’t be too proud, how you got this position, who doesn’t know?
Stop pretending here.”
Su He chuckled coldly, playfully arched her eyebrow, “I have the capability to do as I please here.
If you can’t stand it, go ahead and bite me.”
Hearing this, An Xueyin burst out in anger, “Su He, do you think I am a dog?”
“I certainly never said that, you said it yourself.”
“You!”
Su He spread her hands and wore an innocent expression, “Doctor An, before you verbally attack people, you should really have evidence.”
Ding dong!
At that moment, the elevator arrived.
Before the elevator doors opened, Su He spoke in a cold, deep voice with a hint of warning, “An Xueyin, if you want to continue working at the hospital, you’d better watch your mouth.
Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to kick you out of here!”
After she finished speaking, the elevator doors opened just in time, and she stepped inside.
An Xueyin was slightly taken aback, and locked eyes with Su He inside the elevator.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Su He stared unblinkingly at her, her lips curving into a sinister smile.
An Xueyin instantly felt a chill hit the crown of her head.
But soon she realized, Su He was just trying to scare her, merely bluffing.
Who does she, Su He, think she is to drive her out just like that!
Humph, it remains to be seen who will be thrown out of the hospital!
Su He went to the urology department on the sixth floor.
Just as she entered, she saw Jing Xuan with a sullen face, sitting on a chair outside, lost in thought.
She walked over, unnoticed by her.
She touched her shoulder, “What’s wrong?
You look out of sorts.”
Jing Xuan looked up, and upon seeing her, immediately hugged her, burying her face in her embrace.
Su He let her hug her and then asked, “What are you doing in the urology department?
Are you not feeling well?”
Jing Xuan sighed in her embrace and said, “Lu Zhiyang said he’s unresponsive down there and demands compensation.
I didn’t believe it, so I brought him to the hospital.”
Su He: “…” She knew it, Lu Zhiyang would definitely play tricks.
But this matter could be big or small, she didn’t know how forceful Jing Xuan had been with him initially.
“Did the results come out yet?” she asked.
Jing Xuan, hugging her waist and resting her chin against her, looking up, replied, “Not yet, we just went in.”
Su He looked down at her, “Then what are you calling me for?”
Jing Xuan pouted, “I was thinking, if the results really are as he says, then you can check him again, since you’re all-capable.
If it still doesn’t work, we could consider surgery, I’d feel secure with you around.”
Su He: “…”
Before long, Lu Zhiyang came out from the examination room.
He had a stony expression while his assistant, Cheng Yi, didn’t dare to even breathe loudly.
Seeing her coming out, Jing Xuan let go of Su He, stood up, and inquired, “How did it go?
What did the doctor say?”
The man coldly glanced at her and did not respond.
Jing Xuan didn’t care, and pushed past him, walking directly into the doctor’s office and blurted out, “Doctor, is his thing really ruined?”
The few people outside remained speechless: “…”
Especially Lu Zhiyang, who already had a stern face; now it darkened even more.
The doctor inside was also startled by Jing Xuan’s blunt question.
He was most surprised because this beautiful woman had such shocking words to say.
The doctor coughed lightly and asked her, “What is your relation to the patient?”
Jing Xuan responded, “Oh, I have no relation with him, but his injury has something to do with me, so I wanted to know the situation to compensate him.”
She did not hide anything.
The doctor had never encountered such a straightforward girl: “…”
Then, he only said one sentence to her, “There’s nothing major.”
When Jing Xuan first heard these words, she didn’t manage to rejoice before hearing the doctor’s next sentence, and her face immediately fell.
“But it’s injured at the root.”
“What does that mean?
If there’s no problem, how could it be injured at the root?” Jing Xuan almost burst into flames.
Was this a joke to her?
He then handed her the examination results to see for herself.
Jing Xuan was not in the mood to read, she was only concerned about one thing, “Doctor, just tell me directly if it can be cured?”
The doctor, an older male, adjusted his glasses and said, “It’s hard to say, the patient has sexual dysfunction and psychological trauma causing the non-response.
This situation can only rely on psychological therapy, and we cannot prescribe any medication for it.”
In summary, the doctor said meaningfully, “He needs to come out from his mental shadows, and only the person who ‘bound the bell’ can ‘unring it.'”
Jing Xuan: “…”
It was clear – she was both the one who ‘bound the bell’ and the one needed to ‘unring it.’
Such a joke!
She turned around and walked out, watching the man still standing at the door, she lifted her chin and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll cover your therapy expenses, just find a therapist yourself.”
She spoke confidently, even exuding a sense of “I want to take care of you.”
The man’s cold eyes fixed on her, a hint of peculiarity flashing in his gaze.
“President Jing, is this your compensation?”
“Otherwise?
I’m paying for your treatment, what more do you want?
Surely you don’t expect me to offer myself?
Not to mention anything else, President Lu, you have a fiancée.
It’s not my place to offer myself!”
“Why not?” the man said indifferently.
Jing Xuan was taken aback for a moment, her expression paused, “What do you mean?”
With a cold face and a deep, dark gaze, the man said, “If I’m no longer suitable, do you think the Ye Family will still marry their daughter to me?
My losses would not just be this treatment cost, but also a marriage and ties with the Ye Family.
President Jing, we’re both business people, you surely can do the math, right?”
After hearing this, Jing Xuan chuckled, tapping her lips with her tongue, “So, President Lu means to say that I should compensate you with a fiancée, is that it?”
The man didn’t respond to her, but his meaning was quite clear.
Jing Xuan bit her lip secretly, then as if thinking of something, her red lips curved slightly in a mischievous smile towards the man.
“President Lu, you and Miss Ye are deeply in love, she surely wouldn’t abandon you just because of your condition, right?”
“You might as well ask her.
If she really doesn’t want you anymore, despising you, then Miss here will arrange another marriage for you, guaranteeing your satisfaction.
Not only will the person be right, but the money will also be in place, rest assured, I won’t let you be treated unfairly!”
He wanted her to compensate with a person, so she would – it wasn’t necessarily her, anyway!
After saying that, she passed by him, pulling Su He, who had been silently watching the drama unfold, swaggering away.
“Xiaxia, your combat strength is no joke.”
Su He gave her a thumbs up in the elevator.
She had been worrying just now, but then in the next second, she turned the tables; Lu Zhiyang obviously wanted her, yet she spoke of finding someone new for him.
Such a lethal move!
Jing Xuan hugged her arm, saying, “That bastard just wants to trap me, I’m not foolish enough to fall for it!
To think I would serve him, is nothing but a wild fantasy!”
Su He smiled without a word, the duo somewhat resembled a pair of bickering fellows, both not easily provoked and none would willingly lower their head.
After a moment, she still spoke, “Alright, our beautiful and clever President Jing, as long as you don’t let yourself be taken advantage of, anything goes.”
As the two just exited the ground floor lobby of the hospital, they heard some commotion coming from outside the emergency building, out of curiosity they glanced that way.
Had they not looked, they would have been fine, but upon looking, both were slightly stunned.
Jing Xuan immediately looked at Su He with concern, “Baobao, they might have just bumped into each other, should we go see what’s happening?”
It was none other than Jiang Yan and another man carrying a woman – Tang Sirou, followed by a group of people walking anxiously into the emergency department building.
The commotion was rather significant.
Su He glanced then withdrew her gaze, the surprise on her face fleeting.
“No need, there are other people with them, anyway.”
Her expression was calm and her tone steady, showing no signs of distress.
Jing Xuan asked, “Are you really okay?”
Su He replied, “Do I look like someone petty and suspicious?”
She could say that mainly because Jiang Yan had given her enough security, transferring all his assets to her.
Moreover, with Jiang Yan’s discernment, he was unlikely to fall for Tang Sirou.
That much, she could be sure of.
On the way back to Moon Gift Villa, she received a call from Jiang Yan.
She didn’t hesitate, connecting through the car’s audio system.
The originally quiet car was filled with his deep, magnetic voice, “Wife, have you reached home?”
While focusing on driving, Su He responded, “No, just left the hospital.”
The man on the phone slightly furrowed his brows, “You saw?”
After hearing his response, a smile appeared on her lips, his reaction was sharp, and she responded with just that.
She remained silent for a second, playing dumb, “Saw what?”
Hearing her play dumb, a doting expression unconsciously formed between his brows, and then he began explaining, assuming she hadn’t seen, he would have told her upon his return.
After Jiang Yan finished explaining, Su He was indeed slightly surprised.
Tang Sirou had gotten injured while saving Jiang Yan – this was indeed unexpected.
“Okay, I understand.
Anyway, she got hurt trying to save you, it’s only right for you to take her to the hospital.
If you hadn’t…”
Before she could finish, she heard the sound of the car door closing on the other end, and his voice interrupted her, “I’m heading home now, I’ll eat dinner with you all.”
Su He smiled, “Good, got it.”
–
The next day.
Su He went on her rounds and encountered Tang Family and Lou Ziang.
“Big sister-in-law, what a coincidence,” Lou Ziang greeted Su He proactively.
Su He felt it was quite annoying to encounter these people early in the morning.
She hadn’t expected Tang Sirou to be admitted into their cardiology ward.
Usually, people in this ward are those who can’t be treated with medication alone and must undergo surgery.
Could it be…
However, she wasn’t interested in knowing, as it had nothing to do with her.
She ignored Lou Ziang and was about to pass by them with her team, but at that moment, An Xueyin stepped out.
She stopped Su He: “Director Su, do you know why my cousin got injured?”
The people who were clueless looked at An Xueyin, completely baffled.
What was going on?
Su He also appropriately stopped in her tracks, looking at her with an indifferent gaze, “What?
Doctor An, are you implying it’s because of me?
Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday after a night’s sleep?”
An Xueyin was momentarily lost for words: “…”
“I’m telling you, my cousin got injured while trying to save Fifth Young Master Jiang.”
When An Xueyin said this, Su He subconsciously glanced at Lou Ziang’s expression.
Tsk~
He’s really calm!
His fiancée got hurt while saving someone else, and he doesn’t show any reaction.
“So what?” Su He retorted.
She lifted a faint smile and spoke unhurriedly, “My husband has already covered her medical expenses, and we’ve returned her lifesaving grace.
What are you trying to imply by telling me this, Doctor An?
Is it to show off?
Or do you want me to go in and bow or kowtow to your cousin, hmm?”
Stunned by Su He’s series of rhetorical questions, An Xueyin was left speechless.
At this moment, those unaware of the truth finally realized that the person Superstar Tang saved was Director Su’s husband.
What a coincidence!
Seeing An Xueyin unable to respond, Su He turned to look at Lou Ziang and sneered, “Young Master Lou, you’re quite pitiful, your fiancée risked her life to save someone else’s husband—a truly noble act.
I think such an act of kindness should be widely publicized.
Indeed, I should award the future Mrs.
Lou a banner of righteousness.
Just wait, I’ll have someone send it over soon.”
Hearing Su He’s words, Lou Ziang’s calm face slightly changed, his eyebrows unintentionally furrowing.
A sneer lingered in Su He’s cold eyes.
Having achieved her goal of disgust, she turned around and headed towards Si Qianqian’s ward.
Meanwhile, Tang Sirou in the hospital room heard every single word Su He said.
She bit her lip, cursing fiercely in her heart: “Su He, you bitch!”
How could Tang Sirou not understand Su He’s sarcasm?
–
In the afternoon, the internet was buzzing with news about Tang Sirou saving President Jiang from Jiang Family.
Inside Tang Sirou’s ward, a roar erupted: “Have you lost your mind?
Why would you let such news out?”
Lou Ziang, infuriated, picked up a cup beside him and smashed it fiercely onto the ground.
Tang Sirou flinched in fright.
The search topic was not retracted by Jiang Family’s PR; instead, another announcement was posted: [We thank Miss Tang for pushing our president away in the nick of time.
This slight act of lifesaving grace has not gone unnoticed, and as a token of gratitude, our president and his wife have covered the medical expenses incurred during Miss Tang’s hospital stay.
Furthermore, Miss Tang’s contract with Xingqi Media, a subsidiary of Jiang Family, is expiring this year.
Therefore, if Miss Tang wishes, the company is willing to extend an olive branch again.]
Once Jiang Family’s announcement was made, public opinion shifted.
Initially, everyone was discussing whether Tang Sirou and the rumored Fifth Young Master Jiang still had lingering feelings, but now the narrative changed…
However, Jiang Family’s PR crafted the announcement in a manner that was ostensibly appreciative yet sarcastically aimed.
Additionally, someone deliberately filmed the incident at the press conference and uploaded it online.
This was the first time Jiang Yan appeared openly to the public, strikingly handsome to the point of suffocation.
Yet, most people remained rational and concentrated on the main point.
Initially, as the pillar at the venue appeared to be falling, Jiang Yan had already moved to the other side.
It was Tang Sirou who rushed forward and pushed him slightly, leading to the pillar falling on her.
According to normal events, if Tang Sirou hadn’t rushed to push Jiang Yan, she wouldn’t have been injured, and Jiang Yan would have been even safer.
Therefore, Jiang Family’s PR used a key idiom “slight,” making it clear to any sensible person the intent of the statement.
Moreover, the announcement also hinted that if Tang Sirou hadn’t saved the president of Jiang Family, Xingqi Media would not have renewed her contract, effectively suggesting they were ready to let go of this popular superstar.
After all, Tang Sirou had prospered in the entertainment industry because everyone knew she had the backing of Jiang Family, ensuring a continuous supply of resources.
Tang Sirou’s extraneous “act of saving” caused the netizens to find it rather amusing, also hinting at her deep scheming.
Some netizens speculated she might have guessed that Jiang Family was planning to let her go, prompting today’s events, and some even guessed she orchestrated the whole scenario.
Various opinions circulated online, as netizens’ imaginations ran wild.
Some even linked the incident to Lou Family.
When Lou Ziang saw the online comments, he was furious and had no outlet to vent.
“Look at the stupid thing you’ve done!”
“If you even want to compete with Su He, then can you freaking not drag Lou Family into this!
Ah!”
