Playboy in the City-Chapter 45: Hospital Dismissal
Ma Xiaorong and Chen Yang exchanged glances.
"What’s wrong? Why are you just standing there? Didn’t you hear me?" Zhou Chun’s anger flared as he looked at the unresponsive pair. He glared at Chen Yang. "I’ve looked into your background. You’re that woman Lin Jingyi’s nephew. Hmph, if you offend me, even she can’t protect you."
He had tried to woo the beautiful Lin Jingyi before, but just like his attempt with Ma Xiaoli, he had failed. Now, he planned to settle all his old and new scores with Chen Yang.
"Are you asking for a beating?" Hearing this, Chen Yang immediately stood up and walked toward Zhou Chun with an icy gaze.
Lin Jingyi was a line he wouldn’t let anyone cross; no one was allowed to speak ill of her.
"You... what are you going to do?" Seeing the tall and imposing Chen Yang approaching, Zhou Chun wilted. He blustered, "I’m warning you, I have the backing of the vice president and Director Li. If you dare to mess with me, you’ll regret it."
"Alright, Xiao Yang, why bother with a mad dog?" Seeing Chen Yang was about to hit Zhou Chun, Ma Xiaorong quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, her soft chest pressing against it as she rubbed. "Let’s go find Director Li and see who’s out of luck in the end. Come on."
"Hmph." Feeling the softness on his arm, Chen Yang shot Zhou Chun a cold glare. He let Ma Xiaorong lead him out of the office, but not before giving her rounded buttocks a few hard squeezes, making her whimper softly.
The sight filled Zhou Chun with so much jealousy that his face twisted in rage. That was the part of her he coveted most! He snarled under his breath, "Ma Xiaorong, you bitch! Just wait! Sooner or later, I’ll have you under me and ruin you!"
Chen Yang had done that deliberately in front of Zhou Chun just to infuriate the impotent old man. Besides, I think Ma Xiaorong is right. You shouldn’t stoop to a dog’s level. With Xiao Huiyun’s name to back us up, why should I get my own hands dirty? Subduing the enemy without a fight is the ultimate path to victory.
The three of them arrived at the Medical Department one after another, with Zhou Chun following close behind, gritting his teeth. He desperately wished he could kick Chen Yang aside and ravage Ma Xiaorong himself.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.
Ma Xiaorong stepped forward and knocked on Li Yan’s office door.
"Come in."
Soon, Li Yan’s authoritative voice came from within.
"Go on in. Heh," Zhou Chun said smugly. He pushed the door open and entered first, his heart filled with eager anticipation for what was about to happen.
Ma Xiaorong smiled, equally anticipating the moment Zhou Chun would be disgraced, like a dog that had fallen into water.
Upon entering the office, they saw Li Yan standing by the potted plants near the window, overlooking the scenery outside the hospital.
The moment he saw Li Yan, Chen Yang’s eyes narrowed. I never expected the director of the Medical Department to be such a fair-skinned, beautiful, and noble-looking mature woman. Although her aura of nobility couldn’t quite compare to Xiao Huiyun’s, it far surpassed that of an ordinary woman. Ma Xiaorong couldn’t hold a candle to her.
Chen Yang couldn’t guess Li Yan’s exact age, but his gaze was immediately captivated by the tight pencil skirt that hugged her form, revealing a pair of long, beautiful legs wrapped in black silk stockings and high heels. Looking up, his eyes were drawn to her white, hollow-knit crochet top. Beneath the delicate fabric, the lacy crevice of her cleavage was barely able to contain her full bust, which seemed even larger and more enticing than Xiao Huiyun’s snowy peaks. The sight sent his mind racing.
"Director Li, I’ve brought them," Zhou Chun said, his earlier arrogance replaced with fawning respect. He was the very picture of a sycophant.
"Director Li," Ma Xiaorong and Chen Yang greeted her normally.
Li Yan scrutinized Chen Yang’s face. His tall stature and masculine demeanor made a good first impression, causing some of her anger to dissipate. However, she then turned a cold expression on Ma Xiaorong and scolded her furiously. "Director Ma, you have some nerve! How dare you abandon your post without authorization and take a new recruit to treat a patient? Do you have any regard for this hospital’s rules?
"And if you were treating an ordinary person, that would be one thing. Given your usual diligence, I might have turned a blind eye and not pursued the matter.
"But you? You recklessly went to Sister Xiao’s home to treat her? Don’t you know the limits of your own medical skills?
"Do you have any idea who Sister Xiao is? Do you know how powerful her background and connections are?
"Our hospital can’t even solve her condition! If something had gone wrong, not just you, but I and the entire hospital would have been implicated. At that point, a single word from above would mean none of us would escape the consequences.
"Therefore, starting today, you are suspended for self-reflection. Report to the logistics department. Your position will be temporarily filled by the Deputy Director of the Regimen Department."
With a single statement, she sealed Ma Xiaorong’s fate.
As for Chen Yang, she didn’t even bother with a reprimand. He was just a new recruit, and even being Lin Jingyi’s nephew didn’t warrant her wasting her breath. "As for you, leave the hospital. This place is not for you. Don’t blame me for not giving Lin Jingyi face; you simply shouldn’t have followed Director Ma to go cause trouble at Sister Xiao’s."
Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but marvel internally. This woman is ruthless. She kicked me out of the hospital with a single sentence, without asking a single question. So domineering. But then again, a domineering woman like her ignites a man’s desire to conquer.
"Haha!" At this time, Zhou Chun, watching from the side, was overjoyed. Ma Xiaorong lost her position as Director of the Regimen Department and is being sent to logistics. It won’t be long before she’s at my mercy. As for Chen Yang, he’s just a nobody in my eyes. I didn’t even have to lift a finger—a few words were all it took to kick this little loser out of the hospital.
"Huh?" Zhou Chun was suddenly puzzled. Li Yan just decided their fates, so why don’t Ma Xiaorong and Chen Yang look the least bit worried? Their composed and calm expressions were infuriating.
"Director Li, we have no objections to your decision," Ma Xiaorong said to Li Yan with a smile. "However, before you deal with us, perhaps you should call Sister Xiao. Otherwise, when she learns how you’ve handled us, she’s going to be very unhappy."
"And when that time comes, you might find yourself implicated because of a certain someone," she added, glancing at Zhou Chun with a look of pure schadenfreude.
Chen Yang was also filled with anticipation.
"What?" Zhou Chun didn’t understand, but seeing Chen Yang’s composed expression, a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.
Li Yan also couldn’t figure out what Ma Xiaorong’s confidence was based on. However, one doesn’t get to be the Director of the Medical Department on connections alone. I’m a smart woman. For Ma Xiaorong to remind me so confidently, it must mean she has something to back her up, or that the situation is not at all what Zhou Chun described.
She shot Zhou Chun a cold glare before picking up her phone and dialing Xiao Huiyun.
As soon as the call connected, Li Yan’s cold demeanor vanished, replaced by a warm, enthusiastic, and fawning tone. "Sister Xiao? It’s me, Little Li from the hospital... Yes, yes... it’s me. About yesterday, when Xiao Ma and Xiao Chen went to see you..."
