Jin Xingqiu ignored the group, walked past the lackey, and was about to leave again.

The lackey stuck out his leg and tripped her, causing her to fall to the ground: "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you coming."

Jin Xingqiu's forehead hit the floor, and when she looked up, it was already bleeding.

She was furious: "You did this on purpose!"

The lackey chuckled, "You're right."

After saying that, he slapped Jin Xingqiu hard across the face.

Caught off guard, Jin Xingqiu was knocked to the ground again.

At this moment, several of Jin Xingqiu's colleagues gathered around and separated the two:

"What's going on? How could you hit someone?"

"That's right, look, even Dr. Jin's head is broken!"

"Bandits! Robbers!"

...

The lackey retorted without backing down: "She asked for it! She's a liar!"

The commotion finally alerted the director of Sanhe County People's Hospital, who rushed over.

"Director Ding? What brings you here?" The dean, surnamed Wu, was a small old man.

Upon seeing Ding Honglei, he hurriedly ran over and extended both hands to shake his hand.

Ding Honglei is known for his ruthlessness in Heilongjiang Province. How did this big shot end up here with him?

Ding Honglei didn't reach out: "Old Wu, your lousy hospital is a shallow pond with lots of turtles!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Xingqiu.

Jin Xingqiu, who was covering the wound on her forehead with a handkerchief, glared back fiercely.

Dean Wu hurriedly reprimanded Jin Xingqiu: "Dr. Jin, what's wrong with you? Do you think you can afford to offend Director Ding? Quickly, apologize to Director Ding!"

Dean Wu was passing a message to Jin Xingqiu.

Jin Xingqiu is the top surgeon at the Sanhe County People's Hospital. She is the primary surgeon for major operations, so Director Wu values ​​her talent highly.

However, Dr. Jin's personality is too rigid, so after all these years, he is still just a junior attending physician.

Dean Wu had also intended to promote her, taking her to several dinner parties, but she refused to drink no matter what he asked her to, resulting in an unpleasant ending.

Dean Wu had already given up on her.

In Dean Wu's eyes, Jin Xingqiu is just a tool right now.

So, without asking why, he forced Jin Xingqiu to apologize to Ding Honglei.

A junior doctor who was supporting Jin Xingqiu spoke up: "Dean, why don't you even ask what happened? It was clearly this person who hit Dr. Jin!"

She pointed at the lackey.

The young doctor was there for an internship, and Jin Xingqiu was her mentor. It was only natural for her to speak up for her mentor.

The others, however, tacitly took a step back.

After all, this young doctor was just an intern, and her family had quite a background. She wasn't afraid of Dean Wu, but the others were.

Jin Xingqiu pulled the young doctor behind her and said angrily, "I never knew that the person who was beaten should apologize to the person who beat them!"

Dean Wu was speechless for a moment: "Director Ding had someone beat you up, so you must have done something wrong. Instead of reflecting on your actions, you have this attitude. I think you should go home and rest for a month, think things through, and then come back to work!"

Dean Wu also wanted to protect her and urged her to leave as soon as possible.

"Okay." Jin Xingqiu knew she couldn't afford to offend Ding Honglei, so she quickly took off her white coat, held back her tears, and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Ding Honglei wasn't going to let her off the hook. He'd had a terrible day with Su Ruyi and needed to vent his frustrations.

Jin Xingqiu turned around stiffly: "Haven't you had enough?"

Jin Xingqiu's attitude completely enraged Ding Honglei, whose face darkened: "Dean Wu, can a patient who has just undergone lumbar spine surgery get out of bed and walk?"

"Huh?" Dean Wu was completely bewildered. "That's definitely not possible!"

"We have a prisoner who, after Dr. Jin performed lumbar spine surgery on him, just skipped away. Dean Wu, how do you explain this?" The lackey grinned sinisterly.

Dean Wu looked at Jin Xingqiu.

"Dean, I will give you an explanation of this matter, and I will give you a detailed report." After saying this, Jin Xingqiu was about to leave again.

"Did Director Ding let you leave?" The lackey stepped forward, grabbed Jin Xingqiu's arm, and pulled her back.

"Dr. Jin, you should apologize to Director Ding first, okay!" Dean Wu was already winking at Jin Xingqiu.

But Jin Xingqiu kept her eyes downcast and didn't see it. She stubbornly insisted, "I did nothing wrong, I will never apologize!"

“It’s interesting that there are still troublemakers like this in the grassroots medical system!” Ding Honglei looked at Dean Wu meaningfully. “I’m going to take this person’s file.”

"No, no, no!" Dean Wu panicked. "Our Dr. Jin is usually very good. She's just having some family issues lately, so she's in a bad mood. Please don't take it to heart! Dr. Jin, quickly..."

"Old Wu, get this straight!" Ding Honglei interrupted him. "This person not only has a problem with her attitude, but her character is also seriously flawed! She helped the provincial suspect Ding Youliang lie, saying she had surgery when she clearly didn't!"

"Ding Youliang's lumbar spine surgery? I was there for Teacher Jin's surgery, I can vouch for the surgery!" The young doctor stepped forward again.

"And who are you?" Ding Honglei asked the fearless young doctor.

“She’s just an intern.” Jin Xingqiu quickly pulled the young doctor behind her. “Go check on the patients in beds four and eleven, and write a report for me as soon as possible.”

The young doctor could only nod and leave.

After dismissing the junior doctor, Jin Xingqiu raised her head and looked directly at Ding Honglei: "I, Jin Xingqiu, have been at Sanhe County People's Hospital for nine years, performed over a thousand surgeries, and have been recognized as an advanced worker and a March 8th Red Banner Pacesetter every year! No one has ever called me a fraud! Ding Youliang's surgery was indeed performed, and there are records before, during, and after the surgery! Patient recovery varies from person to person, and there was even follow-up treatment by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor! What makes you think I'm a fraud?"

"Old Wu, fire her." Ding Honglei shifted his gaze from Jin Xingqiu's face to Dean Wu.

"Director Ding, this..." Dean Wu was already sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Fire her, or your hospital will be downgraded next year. The choice is yours," Ding Honglei said casually.

"Dr. Jin, quickly apologize to Director Ding!" Dean Wu made one last effort.

Jin Xingqiu kept a straight face and didn't even look at the two of them.

"Dr. Jin, you've been dismissed. Go to the hospital office to hand over your work, then pack your personal belongings and leave," Dean Wu said after waiting a minute.

"Fine." Jin Xingqiu threw the white coat in her hand in front of Ding Honglei. "You'd better never get sick in your life!"

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the hospital.

"Take Dr. Jin's file away. I want to see how she can still cause trouble!" Ding Honglei ordered his henchmen.

"Yes, sir!" the lackey replied with a grin, then spat, "You little punk, crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant!"
