Chapter 122 Didn't you get in through connections?

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan quickly replied, "It's nothing. I just wanted to know their specific situation so that I could better handle things when we meet again in the future."

"After all, we're all family, and we'll definitely have to get together like this in the future, so we should learn more about it."

Chi Shaokang nodded slightly upon hearing this, agreeing with Xia Yuhuan's assessment.

"By the way, Dad, what did Uncle Grandpa do when he was young?" Xia Yuhuan asked again.

“Your great-uncle, he retired from the government; he used to be in charge of the transportation department,” Chi Shaokang said.

"Oh, so you're a leader too. No wonder you always speak with that official tone," Xia Yuhuan replied.

Chi Shaokang chuckled: "Your grandfather and great-uncle are like that. They're old, but they refuse to admit they're old. They're always thinking about teaching this person a lesson or that person a lesson."

"As for me, I have a rebellious streak, and sometimes I can't stand them, so I can't help but say a few words. You'll get used to it eventually."

Xia Yuhuan quickly said, "You're not rebellious at all. You're just principled. You're not the kind of person who's unreasonable, has no stance, and endlessly compromises for family ties."

Zhang Xianya, who was standing to the side, laughed: "Then you've misjudged your father. Not only is he rebellious to the core, but he'll also back down again and again for the sake of family ties, showing no principles whatsoever."

“In your father’s heart, our little family is the first priority for his family, your grandfather and his family are second, and everyone else is third or later.”

"If anything happens, he will always protect our family members first, and unconditionally."

Chi Shaokang said helplessly, "Say less, or Xiao Huan will think I'm someone without any principles."

Xia Yuhuan quickly replied, "No, Daddy is so nice. I like it very much."

As long as no one does anything immoral or unethical, family members should trust each other and unconditionally protect one another.

Zhang Xianya said, "In the eyes of the Chi family, your father is really wicked. Even his own father wants to talk to him without being in the right, but he doesn't give him any face."

"That's why he wasn't liked by his own father, and why the old man favored the second son's family a bit more."

Xia Yuhuan nodded in understanding: "I understand."

The eldest son is capable, holds a high position, and has his own ideas. He is uncontrollable and will argue back.

The younger son was less capable, but he knew how to say nice things to please his father and would obediently listen to him.

Comparing the two, it's clear that the younger son is more likable.

This is similar to the saying that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

"It's also because your grandfather didn't like your father that our family is a bit special within the Chi family."

"That's why we told you before that if you're in the right, you should never back down for the sake of so-called relationships, otherwise you'll be bullied," Zhang Xianya said.

After all, her husband, Old Chi, was the most powerful and highest-ranking member of the entire Chi family, and everyone benefited from his influence first.

However, people can't stand seeing others do better than themselves, so if they could bully Chi Shaokang, who was respected and respected by everyone outside, at home, the rest of the Chi family would naturally be happy to do so.

That evening, Xia Yuhuan talked about this with Chi Yanzhou, and she still felt a little sad.

"I feel that your great-uncle and your second uncle are both a bit crooked. I haven't had much contact with the other relatives, but I feel that they are probably also somewhat inclined to fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak."

"I'm saying your family isn't the only legitimate member of the Chi family, is it?"

"So, you've managed to produce a good bamboo shoot out of a bad one?"

Chi Yanzhou: That's for sure. Compared to other members of the Chi family, their family is truly of impeccable lineage.

"But your second uncle's youngest daughter is really spoiled. She's only twelve years old and already has so many tricks up her sleeve. If this continues, who knows how crooked she'll become in the future!"

"It's a good thing she's not my daughter, otherwise I would have slapped her."

"No, not just one slap. I'm going to give her a good beating, beat her until she's terrified, and make her never dare to be arrogant again!"

Chi Yanzhou chuckled inwardly: What a silly girl. If we had a child, you would definitely raise her very well from the very beginning. There would be no way she would be raised badly.

Xia Yuhuan added, "However, I discovered that although Chi Zhenghao gave me a very bad impression when we first met, he is actually the only normal person in his family."

"He also said he would bring his sister to apologize to me."

Chi Yanzhou: Zhenghao is indeed a good kid. He's the only normal person in my second uncle's family. It's just that he's been stimulated by my second uncle to have an excessive competitive spirit. He has to compare himself with him in everything he does.

But in reality, Jung-ho himself is very outstanding, and there is absolutely no need to compare him to others, which actually limits Ji Jung-ho's growth.

He had discussed this matter with Chi Zhenghao, but Chi Zhenghao was stuck in a strange cycle of insisting on being better than him, which didn't make any sense.

Xia Yuhuan chatted with Chi Yanzhou for a while, then lay down to sleep.

Chi Yanzhou was somewhat disappointed.

Ever since his wife slept on him for half the night and almost gave him a stiff neck, she has never slept on him again.

Even though his wife slept on his stomach, half of his body was still numb the next day.

But he enjoys this sweet 'burden' and welcomes his wife to come over.

So he felt extremely uncomfortable after his wife stopped lying down.

I feel really bad.

Sigh... I can only wait until he wakes up and then I'll go to sleep holding my wife.

After a period of dejected reflection, Chi Yanzhou fell asleep.

The next day was Monday. Xia Yuhuan got up early, got ready, and then went to the military base with Chi Shaokang.

Chi Shaokang personally escorted Xia Yuhuan to the military hospital.

"Daughter, call me if anything happens. Remember what I said: no matter who tries to bully you, as long as you're in the right, just fight back. Dad will hold the sky up for you if the sky falls," Chi Shaokang instructed.

Xia Yuhuan smiled slightly and replied, "I understand, Dad. You know my personality. If anyone wants to bully me, they'd better see if they have the ability."

Chi Shaokang laughed and said, "Okay, I know our Xiao Huan is strong and won't be bullied. But if you encounter someone who hits the child and then comes back to bully the elders, don't forget that you still have me as your father."

Although Xiao Huan had acknowledged Jiang Zhicheng as his mentor, he still hoped that Xiao Huan would come to him for help when he really needed it.

"Don't worry, Dad, I know," Xia Yuhuan replied obediently.

Although Chi Shaokang repeated the same things over and over again, who would complain about being overly concerned?

Especially someone like her, who has never been loved by her parents since childhood.

Now that someone loves her, she is loved and she feels love wholeheartedly, so she won't find it annoying.

Seeing that she had agreed, Chi Shaokang left with peace of mind.

Xia Yuhuan watched Chi Shaokang's car drive away, then turned and went into the hospital to find Jiang Zhicheng in his office.

Jiang Zhicheng was very happy to see her.

"You've finally arrived, girl. I was worried you'd back out."

Xia Yuhuan laughed upon hearing this: "Teacher, am I really that unreliable in your eyes?"

"No, I'm just too concerned about you, so I'm feeling anxious," Jiang Zhicheng said with a smile.

"Come on, I'll take you to complete the onboarding process and get your white coat."

Afterwards, Jiang Zhicheng personally took Xia Yuhuan to complete the onboarding procedures and receive her white coat.

When people were around, Jiang Zhicheng made no attempt to hide it, telling everyone that Xia Yuhuan was his apprentice.

In no time, the news that Vice President Jiang had taken on an apprentice spread throughout the entire military region hospital.

"Teacher, do you have to be so ostentatious? Does your ostentation really benefit my work at the military hospital? Aren't you afraid people will say I got in through connections?"

Xia Yuhuan was speechless at Jiang Zhicheng's eagerness to announce to the world that she was his apprentice.

Jiang Zhicheng chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Didn't you get in through connections?"
