Lin Fan didn't speak, then gently massaged Liu Ruyue's temples back and forth with his thumb.
Two more minutes passed.
"Um."
Liu Ruyue's lips moved twice.
Less than a minute later, she finally opened her eyes.
What's wrong with me?
Liu Ruyue stared blankly at the ceiling.
She then glanced at Lin Fan and Liao Jinhua, who were surrounding her.
"Ruyue, you just fainted!"
"Thank goodness Dean Lin saved you!"
Liao Jinhua had a very good relationship with her, so her eyes were a little moist at that moment.
"Did she faint?"
Liu Ruyue struggled to get up, "No, I still have work to finish."
"Don't move!"
Lin Fan pressed down on her shoulders, "You're exhausted and you're still thinking about work? Lie down right now!"
I've already asked Jin Hua to give you an IV drip.
After you finish the IV drip, rest for two days.
Go home and get a good night's sleep.
"Dean Lin, this won't do."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyue shook her head and struggled to get out of bed. "The new attendance system has just been implemented, and being late or leaving early is not allowed."
If I take leave, I'll definitely lose my perfect attendance bonus.
Moreover, taking leave will be deducted from annual leave.
I only have a few days of annual leave to begin with, and it would be troublesome if something urgent happened.
Lin Fan frowned upon hearing this.
The system Gao Junliang created is so inhumane; it's practically designed to drive people to sudden death.
"You're already like this, why are you still worried about the perfect attendance bonus?"
Lin Fan emphasized, "If you collapse, you'll lose everything."
Listen to me, you need to rest!
"Dean Lin, I..."
Liu Ruyue wanted to explain further.
"If I say yes, then yes!"
Lin Fan interrupted her, "If anyone docks your perfect attendance bonus, I won't give it to you!"
"Squeak."
Just then, the door was pushed open.
Gao Junliang walked in with his hands behind his back, followed by Ou Xiaoqian.
Clearly, he had heard that someone had fainted and came to the ward specifically to check on them.
"Dean Gao."
When Liao Jinhua saw him, she was so frightened that she stood up immediately.
"Is this Nurse Liu, who fainted?"
Gao Junliang put on a smile and walked to the bedside. "Nurse Liu, your spirit of working while sick is something our entire hospital should learn from!"
"Staying on the front lines despite minor injuries is a model employee of our county hospital!"
"Dean Gao, this is what we should do."
Liu Ruyue forced a smile.
"Look at Nurse Liu, she has such a broad perspective, she's worth learning from."
"Unlike some people who only know how to scheme and are always late or making excuses to be lazy."
Gao Junliang glanced at Lin Fan meaningfully, making a veiled criticism.
"Dean Gao, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering from the pain."
"Why did Nurse Liu faint? It's because the new shift scheduling system is unreasonable!"
"She was overworked and exhausted. She fainted once and almost lost her life."
"You don't care about her health, but instead you're talking about systems?"
"Are you encouraging everyone to follow her example and work themselves to death on the job?"
Lin Fan's voice gradually turned cold.
"Vice Dean Lin, watch your words!"
"As the dean, is it wrong for me to praise dedicated employees?"
"Responding to the call from higher authorities and implementing strict management—where is the mistake?"
Gao Junliang's face darkened. "On the contrary, it's you who always brings your personal emotions to work. You don't act like a doctor at all."
From now on, you should temporarily refrain from seeing patients.
I can't afford to take responsibility if something happens to a patient because of your emotional instability.
Furthermore, you shouldn't interfere with my work.
If you really have a problem with this, go and raise it with the National Health Commission.
"Dean Gao, since you put it that way, then I'll have to have a proper discussion with you."
"Canceling employee lunch subsidies and traditional holiday benefits—is that what you mean by practicing thrift?"
"So, where do you plan to use this money that you've saved?"
"Should we upgrade our medical equipment, or improve the environment of this ward?"
Lin Fan snorted coldly, refusing to budge an inch.
After hearing what he said, Gao Junliang glanced at him.
The environment isn't exactly unbearable to look at, but it certainly doesn't resemble a hospital ward.
The equipment is outdated, the layout is unscientific, and some of the doors and windows are rusty.
"Also, I noticed Zhao Hui didn't bring a secretary, so why do you need one?"
"You're not more important than Director Zhao, are you?"
Lin Fan then delivered the final blow.
"Don't try to argue your point. I've assigned a secretary to improve my work efficiency at the county hospital."
"I'm new here and don't know anyone. Is it wrong for me to have someone help me with my work?"
Gao Junliang glared at him, then revealed a malicious smile. "Vice Dean Lin, you don't want to arrange a secretary for yourself, do you?"
"I'll have to think about that; the county hospital is really short-staffed right now."
Lin Fan noticed that Gao Junliang was avoiding the main issue and deliberately steered the conversation towards himself.
He cursed inwardly, "Old fox."
The two were getting increasingly heated, and it looked like they were about to have a fight.
"cough……"
Liu Ruyue suddenly started coughing violently.
"Dean Gao, Nurse Liu needs to rest. Please leave."
Lin Fan suppressed his anger and said coldly.
"you……"
Gao Junliang's smile froze for a moment, not expecting Lin Fan to dare to directly tell him to leave.
However, seeing Liu Ruyue coughing incessantly, and hearing whispers outside the door...
He suppressed his anger, since he had already achieved his goal.
"snort."
Gao Junliang first snorted to express his dissatisfaction.
