Dean Jiang was a fellow collector of coins with Li Fuyuan, and Li Fuyuan had come with him intending to exchange coins and do a favor for the fat man. However, Zhang Guodong refused to let the three of them in, which made Li Fuyuan feel bad.

Might as well not make the call at all.

If they don't appreciate it, your efforts will only be met with indifference.

Meeting an old classmate was naturally a pleasant surprise.

The young nurse turned pale with fright when she saw how familiar Dean Dong was with these three people.

"What's going on? How can you be so rude to the patient's family?" Dean Dong was initially pleased to see Li Fuyuan, but he only noticed him after hearing the argument. His face hardened, and he asked the nurse.

The young nurse was so taken aback by the shout that tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

"They were the ones talking loudly, I did nothing wrong!" The young nurse was surprisingly stubborn, holding her head high and looking aggrieved.

This crying immediately attracted the attention of passing doctors, nurses, patients, and their families.

"A group of grown men bullying a young girl?"

"The young lady did nothing wrong. Is this a place where you can make loud noises?"

"That's Vice Dean Dong."

"Go back to your post. I think I need to give you a wake-up call. You need to know how to talk to your superiors properly. If you're right, don't raise your voice!" Dean Dong realized there were too many people around and his face darkened. He reprimanded, "Even if the patient's family is wrong, this attitude is unacceptable. This is a people's hospital; we should treat everyone with a smile!"

Dean Dong is about to take action against someone.

This little girl is probably in trouble!

"Dean Dong, I think we should let it go. It's just that the young comrade made a mistake, and he should correct it!" Li Fuyuan said, acting as a peacemaker.

Clearly, bullying a junior nurse isn't something to be proud of. It's better to be more generous and uphold the dignity of your old classmate, the authority of your superior, and show some human touch.

"Aren't you going back to your posts?!" Dean Dong shouted.

The nurse stomped her foot, turned and left, sobbing. This stunned everyone, and they looked at the men with even more contempt. The way they glared at them was incredibly menacing.

The accusation of bullying young girls has likely been confirmed.

Dean Dong was also embarrassed and dared not linger. He immediately invited Li Fuyuan, saying, "Bu girl is ignorant and needs some guidance. Come on, let's go to my office!"

"Alright!" Li Fuyuan said, his face slightly flushed.

He could feel the disgust and contempt in the eyes of those around him. The voices were harsh. Bullying a little girl?

Isn't that a suspicion?

The four of them were all in their forties or fifties. The young nurse was probably not even twenty yet. In any case, with their combined strength, they couldn't possibly stay in that corridor any longer.

The nurse on the other side was spraying water all the way, and without paying attention to what was in front of her, she bumped into someone's arms.

"Hey, Xiao Ji, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

The three people who arrived were Zhang Guodong, Fatty, and Li Ying. The young nurse, Xiao Hou, bumped into Zhang Guodong. At that moment, she didn't care whose arms she bumped into; as soon as she heard Li Ying's voice, she immediately hugged Zhang Guodong and started crying. She looked very heartbroken.

"How could they do this? Waaah, I didn't do anything wrong!"

Zhang Guodong and his two companions exchanged bewildered glances. What exactly happened? It sounded like they'd been bullied? They'd been wronged!

“Xiao Hou and Xiao Yu get along very well, this matter…” Li Ying hesitated for a moment before saying.

"Fatty, go see what's going on!" Zhang Guodong frowned and said helplessly.

Zhang Guodong wasn't interested in such trivial matters. However, Li Ying mentioned that she had a good relationship with Xiaoyu. As her older brother, he couldn't ignore it. If Xiaoyu could have more friends, perhaps she could adapt to her new life here more quickly.

"Okay!" The fat man nodded and strode forward.

Li Ying was surprised to see the fat man handle the situation without hesitation.

It seems Zhang Guodong and Wang Kang have a very close relationship. They're even calling each other by nicknames? Fatty? Didn't Lin Yujiao say Wang Kang was in politics, the district head's secretary? I heard that before...

The district head's secretary—that's a high-ranking position. Yet Zhang Guodong addressed him so directly. Who is Zhang Guodong? Is he really just a businessman, as Jiawei said?

Zhang Guodong ignored Li Ying's surprised look. He half-embraced Xiao Hou and gestured to her, then the three of them sat down on the chairs nearby.

"Alright, stop crying. Tell me what happened. You're a nurse, you can't make a scene in the hospital. Besides, aren't you ashamed if your colleagues see you crying?" Zhang Guodong said.

But the more heartbroken Zhang Guodong became, the more frustrated and irritable he felt.

He hates seeing women cry. If it's a man's tears, he'd probably kick him away.

"If you cry again, you're violating hospital rules!"

This actually worked?

Xiao Hou immediately stopped crying, but continued to sob, though her sobs subsided. Clearly, the strict disciplinary system frightened her. Being expelled would likely be a huge blow to her.

"Is this how you give advice? You're just scaring Xiao Hou!" Li Ying rolled her eyes. Then she frowned and said.

Zhang Guodong finally breathed a sigh of relief as he took Xiao Hou from him. Holding a strange woman like this was no good.

"Tell Sister Li what happened? Who bullied you?" Li Ying was, after all, a woman, and communication between women was much easier.

Soon, Xiao Hou poured out his heart, telling the whole story, expressing all his grievances.

"Three men in their forties or fifties? Dean Dong? One of them seems to know Dean Dong very well?" Zhang Guodong, who was standing nearby, heard this clearly.

Could it be those three bosses?

Looking up, I realized that I hadn't let them into the ward. "Qin'ao has been away for quite some time."

Li Fuyuan said he has acquaintances at the People's Hospital. Could it really be them?

"That Dean Dong, I don't think he's a good person. He actually bullied our little Hou. How old are they? Four men bullying a little girl, aren't they ashamed?" Li Ying said angrily.

Zhang Guodong was speechless.

Four men arguing with a young girl in full view of everyone. It's truly despicable.

As they were talking, the fat man walked over with a cold expression. Beside him was an elderly man with half-white hair, and Dean Dong followed behind with an unpleasant look on his face. Then, as expected, came Li Fuyuan and his two companions, who also looked embarrassed and annoyed.

The three of them were chatting happily with Dean Dong in the vice dean's office when an old man and Secretary Wang entered.

As soon as the old man came in, he launched into a tirade against Vice President Dong.

He gradually understood what was being said.

This middle-aged man was actually the hospital director, Vice Director Dong's superior. That little nurse actually got the director involved?! The fat man stood to the side, his face contorted with displeasure.

Even the most foolish person could see that this Secretary Wang was no ordinary person; he actually got the dean to take charge, risking the vice dean's reprimand.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

Vice President Dong was immediately put in an awkward position.

Oh no, Vice President Dong will have to go and apologize to the nurse as well.

That's why this whole thing happened.

"Who is this?"

"Zhang Guodong!" Zhang Guodong stood up, shook hands with the old man, and smiled faintly. "This is my sister in the ward."

"Xiao Hou is my sister's personal nurse and friend!"

Dean He immediately understood the connection! The chubby boy next to him was Wang's. As for Zhang Guodong's status, judging by his extraordinary demeanor, the fact that Wang Kang was willing to do anything for him meant he was at least of considerable status.

"It seems that having Lao Dong apologize was indeed an offense. But it wasn't entirely without gain; in fact, it was quite a gain!"

"Xiao Hou, you did the right thing. No one is allowed to make loud noises in the hospital! Although Vice President Dong criticized your slightly inappropriate attitude, I want to praise you overall. Vice President Dong wants to apologize to you, so please accept it. Of course. Whether it's our leaders or nurses, we all have to abide by the hospital's rules! In the future, including myself, we all need to strengthen our understanding of discipline." Dean He immediately said gently to Xiao Hou.

That old man is shrewd.

Instead of trying to build a relationship with Zhang Guodong, they set their sights on Xiao Hou.

Little Hou, with her rabbit-like eyes, was flattered. She hadn't expected Vice Dean Dong to apologize to her. And so the matter was naturally resolved.

This incident shocked Li Fuyuan and his two companions. They hadn't expected that their initial assessment of Wang would turn out to be wrong. This Secretary Wang was indeed no ordinary person.

The president of the Provincial People's Hospital—who is he? Even many provincial leaders treat him with utmost respect. But this time, Secretary Wang singled him out, willing to offend a vice president for such a trivial matter.

They didn't know that Fatty's father might advance further in the next election; if he had known, he probably would have had a different opinion.

In the afternoon, after Xiaoyu woke up, Zhang Guodong completed the discharge procedures for her. Dean He tried several times to persuade her to stay, but Zhang Guodong insisted on taking Xiaoyu home. They had to arrange for a doctor to come and provide care for Xiaoyu at home.

Xiaoyu's head injury has healed completely. The main issue is the external wound healing. But at home, Zhang Guodong can help Xiaoyu's wound heal faster, eliminating the need for her to stay in the hospital.

Li Luyuan and the other two were in an awkward position.

Zhang Guodong, Fatty, and Li Ying took Xiaoyu home from the hospital. Xiao Hou left Zhang Guodong's home and mobile phone numbers so he could contact Xiaoyu easily. Xiaoyu was in Xiqin Province. It seemed Xiao Hou was probably Xiaoyu's only friend.

Hospital, Dean's Office.

Dean He called over Vice Dean Dong, whose expression was unnatural, and after he had him sit down, he said earnestly, "Do you know why I asked you to apologize to a young girl?"

Vice President Dong was taken aback; he really couldn't have guessed it.

“You should know who that fat man is now. He’s Wang Kang, the son of Wang Yunyi, the municipal party secretary,” Dean He continued.

Vice President Dong's expression changed; he was indeed frightened. The municipal party secretary, of course, had no jurisdiction over the provincial people's hospital. But he was a member of the provincial standing committee. Taking him down wouldn't be difficult for him, would it?

"If that were all, it wouldn't have put you in such an awkward position, Lao Dong. There's news from above that Wang Yunyi might be promoted further next year, taking over as governor, and the governor might succeed the party secretary."

What? The Governor!

"Dean, thank you so much this time!" Vice Dean Dong was now beaming with gratitude. He was also sweating profusely; this fat man was indeed someone important. What was a mere dean compared to him?

As soon as Vice Dean Dong left, Dean He snorted and muttered to himself, "Fatty is no simpleton, but is Zhang Guodong any simpleton? Having the future governor's son run errands, he must have quite a background."

Dean Ren He, that old fox, racked his brains but couldn't fathom that Zhang Guodong wasn't even among the upper echelons. But regardless, in the minds of Dean He and his ilk, Zhang Guodong had long since risen to the status of "Young Master Zhang."
