Xu Jiajia suppressed her grievances and followed Gu Xun into the car. The atmosphere in the car was as cold as an ice cave.

Gu Xun sat there, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it, and he didn't say a word all the way.

After the car drove out for a while, Gu Xun suddenly spoke, his voice as cold and hard as a stone, "Stop the car."

The driver stepped on the brakes and the car stopped steadily on the side of the road.

Gu Xun turned his head, his eyes piercing Xu Jiajia like a knife, "Get out of the car."

Xu Jiajia's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "Brother Xun, what do you mean?"

Gu Xun snorted coldly, "Do you think I don't know your little tricks? Shi Heng is my buddy, and you dare to use those tricks on his wife."

Xu Jiajia panicked, her voice trembling, "I...I didn't do anything."

Gu Xun laughed in anger: "I didn't do anything. In the private room, everyone saw you looking mad with jealousy."

"As a little star, you've just started to gain some popularity, but you're already so cocky? Don't think I don't know that you're trying to step on Gu Youran to attract attention and gain the spotlight."

Xu Jiajia wanted to argue, but Gu Xun interrupted her abruptly, "I tell you, I can lift you up and make you fly to the sky, but I can also make you fall into the mud and go to hell in an instant."

"Today I'm teaching you a lesson, this is the last time. If there's a next time, it won't be as simple as just abandoning you on the road."

As he spoke, Gu Xun stretched out his hand, opened the car door, and pointed outside, "Get out of the car and think about it carefully."

Xu Jiajia looked at the dark night outside the car, feeling angry and scared, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she could only bite her lip and get out of the car.

The car sped away in an instant, raising a cloud of dust.

Xu Jiajia stood by the roadside, a cold wind blowing, and a feeling of frustration washed over her. Why had she even bothered to provoke Gu Youran? Who in that room tonight could she possibly afford to mess with? Now, everything was ruined.

I really regret it.

…

In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the car window onto Gu Youran's face.

Shi Heng drove Gu Youran to Renhe Hospital.

"Today is your first day reporting to the hospital. Don't be too nervous. With your abilities, there will definitely be no problem." Shi Heng turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of encouragement.

Gu Youran chuckled, "Well, I'll try my best. So where are you going today?"

"Go to Si Wenjie and discuss the creation of a Chinese medicine brand. The ideas you mentioned earlier gave me a lot of inspiration. I feel there won't be any major problems with this collaboration."

Gu Youran's eyes lit up, full of longing. "Really? If this brand becomes successful, it will allow many people to understand and benefit from Traditional Chinese Medicine. I've always hoped for its success."

While waiting for the red light, Shi Heng turned his head and gazed at her affectionately.

"Of course. This brand is your life's work, so I have to give it my all. Your expertise and creativity are crucial and a huge help."

Gu Youran said a little embarrassedly, "It was just a random thought. Thanks to you and Si Wenjie for helping me make it happen. By the way, when you talk to Si Wenjie, if you encounter any problems, remember to tell me and we can discuss it together."

Shi Heng smiled and joked, "Don't worry, I'm good at negotiating cooperation. But with your heart, I feel more confident. Don't worry, Si Wenjie and I will definitely get things done beautifully."

Gu Youran pretended to be angry and punched him lightly, "Hmph, you take my kindness for granted. I'm just concerned about you."

Shi Heng quickly coaxed him, "I know. I said something wrong. I'll take you out for a big dinner tonight to make amends."

Gu Youran smiled, leaned over, and kissed Shi Heng on the cheek, "Come on, I believe in you and will wait for your good news. I will eat less at noon and look forward to your delicious food in the evening."

Shi Heng was slightly stunned, then his smile became even wider, "Just a kiss? This motivation is not enough." As he said, he stretched out his long arm, pulled Gu Youran into his arms, and deepened the kiss.

Gu Youran's cheeks flushed, and she pushed him in a scolding tone, "The light is green, drive quickly, don't be late."

Shi Heng then let go of her reluctantly and started the car.

When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Shi Heng got out of the car and walked to the side to help Gu Youran open the door. He then carefully reminded her, "Wait for me after get off work. I'll pick you up."

Gu Youran nodded, "I understand. Just focus on discussing cooperation."

After watching her walk into the hospital, Shi Heng got into the car and left.

Gu Youran and the five people who accompanied him entered the conference room on time.

Dr. Zhang, who was in charge of reception, was already waiting there. She stood up to greet us with a smile on her face.

"Good morning, everyone! Welcome to our hospital for exchange and learning. We've gathered here today to discuss department assignments. We'll base our discussions on your wishes, so please feel free to speak your mind."

The two female doctors were the first to break the silence. The older one, Dr. Zhao, said, "Dr. Sun and I have been working in obstetrics and gynecology at our previous unit. This time, we came here hoping to learn some new techniques, so we both wanted to join the obstetrics and gynecology department."

Xia Ke perked up when she heard this. She straightened her back and spoke confidently, "I've been focusing on cardiac surgery for years and have handled many critical and severe cases. This time, I want to challenge myself with more complex cases and improve my skills in cardiac surgery and refined management. I will definitely choose cardiac surgery."

Song Yi and Meng Qingyi also nodded, expressing their agreement with Xia Ke's idea. They both wanted to reach a higher level in the field of cardiac surgery, which they were good at.

It’s Gu Youran’s turn.

She stood up slowly, her eyes filled with determination. "Although I previously worked in cardiac surgery, in recent years I've used my spare time to delve into neurosurgery, especially in the field of neurodegenerative diseases, where I have gained some unique insights."

I saw Dr. Zhang frowning across from me.

Gu Youran continued, "I think if I could go to the neurosurgery department to exchange ideas, gain access to more case resources, and learn more about cutting-edge technologies, I might be able to make further progress in addressing Parkinson's disease. I'd appreciate the hospital considering it."

Dr. Zhang remained silent and did not answer immediately.

At this time, the door of the conference room was pushed open and Dean Wu and Jiang Peilan walked in.

Dean Wu looked at Gu Youran with a gentle gaze. "Doctor Gu, I heard you have a different idea. Tell me about it."

Gu Youran elaborated on his research content, ideas and expectations for future communication in detail, with clear logic and sincere words.

Jiang Peilan nodded frequently, "That's right, Dr. Gu has a solid foundation and is willing to delve into research. Perhaps he can really open up new prospects."

Dean Wu thought for a moment and then made a decision. "Okay, since you're so enthusiastic, go to the neurosurgery department. I'll arrange for Director Liu to personally supervise you. He has extensive experience and I believe he can help you grow faster."

Gu Youran was very happy and thanked him repeatedly.

Doctor Zhang also smiled and encouraged, "The director has spoken, so Dr. Gu, go ahead and do it with confidence. I wish you a fruitful harvest!"

Xia Ke sat aside, watching Dean Wu and Jiang Peilan attach so much importance to Gu Youran. Her face turned pale and red, and her hands were clenched into fists under the table.

No, in this exchange, she must show her skills and surpass Gu Youran.
