Chapter 255 requires rigor the most.
Du Ruoxia suppressed her discomfort and reluctantly followed behind him.
Once he started talking, Hu Jinxiang was no longer as reserved as before, and he was willing to talk about the patient's condition.
After all, Du Ruoxia will be treating someone soon, so she needs to understand the basic situation.
As the hospital's vice president, Hu Jinxiang was familiar with these procedures.
"The patient is a man in his fifties who has always had a heart condition and has been hospitalized several times in the provincial capital hospital before."
"He was so angry that he fainted, and his heart was also greatly affected."
"Later, his work and family life took a sudden turn for the worse, which dealt him a huge blow, and his heart problems became increasingly serious."
"They had no other choice but to come to me for help. I'm only doing this out of consideration for our family relationship, so I'm shamelessly calling to ask for your help."
Hu Jinxiang was in a very difficult position, but Du Ruoxia ultimately decided to give him face.
"You lead the way, I'll go check out the situation."
Du Ruoxia would not make a decision until she had seen the patient.
Hu Jinxiang, however, was somewhat impatient and deliberately pressed for more information.
"Dr. Du, are you confident you can cure this patient's condition?"
Hu Jinxiang looked on with anticipation, but Du Ruoxia only gave him a cold glance.
She hasn't even seen the patient, how could she know their condition? How could she know if they could be cured?
Hu Jinxiang's question now seems very unprofessional; even an intern wouldn't ask such a low-level question.
Hu Jinxiang, as the hospital's vice president, suddenly asked this question, leading Du Ruoxia to seriously suspect that Hu Jinxiang lacked real skills and had gotten the job through connections.
Otherwise, with his level of expertise, he would probably have a hard time even becoming an attending physician, let alone a vice president of a hospital.
Du Ruoxia pursed her lips and remained silent, her face somewhat cold. Hu Jinxiang, however, did not notice her unusual expression and continued to shower her with compliments.
"I've heard that Dean Du is a highly skilled doctor. He should be able to solve this small problem without any trouble."
Du Ruoxia refrained from refuting him, but unexpectedly Hu Jinxiang went even further.
"Dean Du, why aren't you saying anything? Is this problem really that difficult for you?"
Hu Jinxiang deliberately said those words to provoke her. He felt that Du Ruoxia was young, and although she was a highly skilled doctor, she had become the hospital director.
But in his eyes, young people are just young people, impatient and unable to withstand provocation.
If you just say a few provocative things, she'll definitely pat her chest and guarantee it.
She'll have to put herself on the hot oil pan and roast herself, whether she likes it or not.
Hu Jinxiang had a clever plan, but Du Ruoxia didn't buy it at all.
Not only did they not buy it, they also turned cold.
Du Ruoxia stopped in her tracks and did not continue forward.
Hu Jinxiang could no longer hear the footsteps behind him, and only then did he turn around in a slightly flustered manner.
"Dean Du, why aren't you leaving?"
"The ward is right here. It's just a few more steps away, and we'll be there soon."
Du Ruoxia stood still, raised her head, and looked at him coldly.
Hu Jinxiang felt uneasy under her gaze and began to panic.
"Dean Du, what do you mean by staring at me without saying a word? Your silence is really a bit scary, it's making me uneasy."
Hu Jinxiang realized that Du Ruoxia might be angry, so he deliberately covered his chest and spoke to her in a joking tone.
"Vice President Hu, let me ask you a question. How many years have you been working at the military hospital?"
Du Ruoxia's smile was cold, and Hu Jinxiang felt a little uneasy under her gaze, making him stutter.
"Yes, it's been more than ten years. When I first came here, I was just an unknown intern. I never thought that I would become the vice president of the hospital in the blink of an eye."
Hu Jinxiang deliberately spoke in a lighthearted tone, expressing his desire to ease the tension between himself and Du Ruoxia.
Du Ruoxia nodded slightly and continued.
"Since you've been at the military hospital for over a decade and rose through the ranks from the grassroots to your current position, you should know even more that what we doctors need most when treating patients is meticulousness."
“I haven’t even seen the patient’s face, I haven’t even looked at his report, I don’t know anything about the situation, yet you keep asking me if I’m confident.”
"How am I supposed to answer that question? I doubt any doctor could answer it, no matter which one you ask."
"You know perfectly well that this process is wrong, so why are you forcing me to answer? What exactly is your purpose in doing this?"
When Du Ruoxia put on a stern face, her originally delicate and beautiful face instantly became stern, giving people a feeling of keeping people at arm's length.
Hu Jinxiang immediately realized that Du Ruoxia was indeed not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
Although she looks delicate, she is not someone to be trifled with.
Hu Jinxiang's heart pounded as he realized he was very likely to be facing a tough situation.
He was captivated by Du Ruoxia's appearance and unconsciously placed her in a position where she could be easily manipulated.
He thought Du Ruoxia was an honest and easy-going person, but he didn't expect her to be so difficult to deal with.
Hu Jinxiang felt a pang of regret, realizing he had been too hasty and shouldn't have provoked her in the first place.
Now he not only said the wrong thing, but he said it wrong several times in a row.
Hu Jinxiang is now at a loss as to how to salvage the situation.
He suddenly panicked and his gaze towards Du Ruoxia became evasive.
Seeing his pathetic state, Du Ruoxia snorted coldly.
"Vice Dean Hu, please answer my question. I believe my question is within your capabilities and that you are able to answer it."
"It's very impolite of you to just stare at me without saying a word. Aren't you going to give me a proper explanation?"
Du Ruoxia didn't give Hu Jinxiang a chance to speak at all, just like before when Hu Jinxiang forced her to give an answer.
Du Ruoxia unleashed a torrent of abuse, leaving Hu Jinxiang speechless with shock.
The key issue is that after being scolded, he didn't know how to refute it, which was a bit awkward.
Hu Jinxiang's face turned pale and then red, before recovering slightly after a while.
"Dean Du is right. I acted too impulsively. I shouldn't have been so impatient, and I shouldn't have kept asking questions. I'm sorry."
Hu Jinxiang was so scolded that he couldn't back down and could only obediently apologize in the end.
Du Ruoxia stood still, and Hu Jinxiang's attitude became even more respectful.
"Dean Du is right to criticize me. I was negligent in this matter, and I will apologize to you with the proper attitude in the future."
"Since Dean Du is already here, why don't you come in with me and take a look? Consider it a favor from Dean Du as our new colleague."
Hu Jinxiang was very eloquent, and his words were full of praise for Du Ruoxia.
Du Ruoxia's attitude softened slightly, but she did not intend to forgive him easily.
Otherwise, some people will take advantage of her kindness and ride on her neck to defecate and urinate.
Du Ruoxia was arrogant, but Hu Jinxiang became even more respectful to her because he felt guilty.
