Su Wanqing glared at Wen Ci’s retreating figure with hatred in her eyes. She truly despised this woman for stealing her beloved Brother Huo. Her fists clenched slowly and tightly.
Shortly after, she went to the dean’s office.
The dean held a enamel cup in his hand, the steaming hot tea partially obscuring his face. When he saw it was Su Wanqing, he smiled warmly:
“Dr. Su, what brings you here?”
He had already received complaints from other doctors and nurses, but due to Su Wanqing’s excellent academic background, he had suppressed the matter.
Su Wanqing nodded: “I hope you can fire a nurse.”
“Hmm?” The dean raised his turbid yet bright eyes to look at Su Wanqing. Even though she had exceptional medical skills, she couldn’t act so arbitrarily.
The dean restrained his emotions and asked, “What’s the matter?”
He thought carefully. If the nurse Su Wanqing mentioned had made any mistakes at work, then it might be possible to fire her.
“I don’t want to see her.”
The dean: “…”
He frowned: “You mean, simply because you don’t like her, you want me to fire her?”
“That’s right.”
Hearing this, the dean placed the enamel cup on the table and stood up from his chair, speaking seriously: “Comrade Su, do you think the Northwest Military District Hospital is some casual place where you can just fire someone at will?”
The hospital, located in the Northwest Military District, employs both doctors and nurses who hold military ranks and can be called military doctors. During wartime, they would also join the battle.
“I…”
Su Wanqing was scolded by the dean. She had been confident that the dean would fire Wen Ci for her sake, but now…
She bit her lower lip tightly, feeling somewhat disheartened. “But she’s engaging in inappropriate relationships with men. Shouldn’t she be fired?”
“Inappropriate relationships with men?”
“Who?”
Su Wanqing, thinking there was hope, slowly said: “Wen Ci!”
The dean: “…”
He was utterly speechless.
Every doctor and nurse who joins the hospital undergoes a thorough background check. If their spouse or family members are from outside the Northwest Military District, their family history is traced back three generations.
Wen Ci’s background was undoubtedly impeccable.
Her husband was Commander Huo of the Northwest Military District.
Her family had served in the military for three generations.
Yet Su Wanqing accused Wen Ci of engaging in inappropriate relationships with men. The dean’s face turned serious, and he asked word by word: “Comrade Su, can you take responsibility for what you’re saying?”
Seeing Su Wanqing remain silent, the dean spoke again: “If you can’t take responsibility for your words, leave immediately, and I can pretend you never came to see me.
Otherwise…”
The dean’s words trailed off.
He was giving Su Wanqing one last chance.
Su Wanqing lowered her head, afraid that if she continued, she might not be able to stay in the Northwest Military District. “Dean, I would like to take a leave of absence.”
“How many days?”
“One day will be enough.”
The dean nodded in agreement.
After obtaining the dean’s approval, Su Wanqing returned to the hospital dormitory. She planned to change into a nice outfit and go to the military base to ask Brother Huo.
…
Huo Jingyuan had just finished a meeting and was unbuttoning his military uniform, preparing to change into training clothes, when Xue Li barged in. “Something big…”
As soon as he spoke, he met Huo Jingyuan’s deep gaze.
Although there was no expression on his face, Xue Li’s hands trembled. He swallowed hard and said with a forced smile, “Never mind, never mind. You change first.”
After saying this, Xue Li immediately went out and closed the door, shouting loudly, “Brother Huo, let me know when you’re done changing. There’s an urgent matter to report.”
“Alright,” Huo Jingyuan replied.
