Chapter 21 Why Did Huo Nanxiao Choose You?
Not long after Huo Nanxiao left Xia Ningxi's clinic, the hospital issued a notice that Xia Ningxi had been promoted to the head of the department and would no longer be seeing patients. She would become Huo Yuan's private doctor.
The news caused a stir throughout the hospital, especially in Xia Ningxi's department.
Everyone knows that Yang Yuean and Su Huixue are both vying for the position of department director. Like Xia Ningxi, Yang Yuean is a top doctor who was just recruited back from abroad by the hospital director last month with a high salary. He is very famous and has performed several excellent surgeries since arriving at the hospital. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a good candidate.
As for Su Huixue, she has been at the hospital for five years and has an outstanding past. She is also a long-time employee of the hospital. Everyone thinks that Su Huixue has a better chance of becoming the head of the department than Dr. Yang.
But then Xia Ningxi suddenly appeared!
It's Xia Ningxi, who offended the Huo family just a couple of days ago! How did she climb to this position?
Su Huixue was furious. She stormed into Xia Ningxi's clinic and saw Yang Yuean and the others celebrating with Xia Ningxi.
"Dr. Yang, you're really carefree. Dr. Xia wasn't even on the candidate list before, but now she's become the director of our department. Aren't you upset at all?" Su Huixue asked.
Yang Yuean said, "Dr. Xia's achievements are obvious to all, especially her surgery on Young Master Huo, which was done very well. She deserves the honor, and I have no objection."
Su Huixue sneered: "Speaking of this, I'm puzzled. Before, the Huo family was clamoring for Dr. Xia to resign. I didn't expect that Dr. Xia and Young Master Huo would spend a night alone in the ward, and the next day she was directly promoted to the director of our department and became Young Master Huo's personal doctor. I'm very curious, Dr. Xia, what method did you use to make Young Master Huo treat you differently? And how did you please him and appease him?"
These words were clearly offensive.
For a moment, everyone in the consultation room fell silent, and the atmosphere around them became very subtle.
The smiles on everyone's faces vanished, replaced by embarrassment.
Yang Yuean coughed lightly, his face serious, and said, "Dr. Su, what do you mean by that?"
"Don't you understand what I mean? Do I have to be blunt? Who is Dr. Xia? She refused to perform surgery on Young Master Huo before, and Young Master Huo even wanted to kill her. How come Dr. Xia got promoted after the two of them spent one night in the same room? Don't you find that strange?" Su Huixue retorted.
Upon hearing this, everyone gradually realized that something was amiss.
Su Huixue is right.
Previously, Huo Shao had injured Dr. Xia, and the injuries on her hands are still shocking to behold.
In an instant, everyone's gaze towards Xia Ningxi changed, becoming quite subtle.
Xia Ningxi said, "Young Master Huo was not feeling well last night. He is afraid of the dark and has nyctophobia. I stayed in the ward to comfort him. As for Young Master Huo, it is perfectly normal for him, as Huo Yuan's father, to stay up all night in his son's ward. What's wrong with that?"
"Heh, if that were all, I wouldn't say anything. But tell me, why did Huo Shaoming, knowing our hospital has regulations, still make an exception and promote you to be the head of our department? Can you say he didn't have any personal motives towards you? If you say no, then why didn't he promote Dr. Yang, but instead chose you, with your bad record?"
Su Huixue became more and more excited as she spoke! Her shout attracted the attention of her other colleagues.
Although the other doctors were not among the candidates, they were just ordinary doctors like Xia Ningxi. Even if they were not as famous as Xia Ningxi, Xia Ningxi was only a newcomer who had been at the hospital for a month. In terms of seniority alone, any one of them was better than Xia Ningxi.
But Huo Shao chose Xia Ningxi.
Although they didn't feel the same anger as Su Huixue, who watched her hard-won position being snatched away, they were still somewhat upset.
Why should I?!
Everyone looked at Xia Ningxi, seeking an answer.
Xia Ningxi did not expect that Huo Nanxiao's unintentional action would bring her so much trouble. Faced with Su Huixue's questioning, she did not know how to answer. Should she tell Su Huixue in front of everyone that she was Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife and that she had to take care of her son, so she had to be promoted and no longer be a doctor who saw patients, but instead focus on taking care of Huo Yuan?
How can you say such a thing?
Will they believe it?
No way.
Everyone knows that Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife is dead, so Xia Ningxi's explanation only confirms to the outside world that she seduced Huo Nanxiao.
"This is Young Master Huo's idea. If you have any objections, you can go talk to him." In the end, Xia Ningxi passed the buck to Huo Nanxiao.
Su Huixue naturally wouldn't question Huo Nanxiao; she was well aware of her own status.
"You make it sound so easy. Even if I went to Young Master Huo, he wouldn't pay any attention to me. I just don't understand why it has to be you? Can't you even answer such a simple question?" Su Huixue pressed on, determined to get a satisfactory answer from Xia Ningxi.
But Xia Ningxi couldn't give her that.
Seeing this, the others quickly tried to smooth things over.
Yang Yuean said, "Perhaps it's because Young Master Huo likes Dr. Xia."
Intern Zhou Xiaoya said, "I think it's because Huo Shao wanted to apologize. After all, he injured Dr. Xia's hand, preventing her from performing surgery, so he promoted her. Dr. Su, I think what you said was too harsh. Dr. Xia is not that kind of person at all."
"Who knows?" Su Huixue still didn't believe it.
Zhou Xiaoya said, "Dr. Xia and Dr. Yang are childhood sweethearts. They got together when they were studying abroad. How could Dr. Xia possibly like another man?"
"What? Dr. Yang and Dr. Xia are together?"
"How could that be? Dr. Yang is my dream man."
"Really?"
The doctors and nurses in the entire department were extremely envious after hearing the news.
Xia Ningxi hadn't expected Zhou Xiaoya to say something like that. She blushed and explained, "We're just fellow students, we're not together."
"Then why did you two come back to China together and come to our hospital together?" someone asked.
"The dean also invited me, and I thought the salary was good, so I came," Yang Yuean quickly explained, his ears flushed red, showing that he was also very nervous.
Su Huixue said, "Even so, you are not qualified. You simply do not have the qualifications. How can you convince the public?"
Xia Ningxi knew that she had taken Su Huixue's position and blocked her path, so it was normal for her to be angry. Therefore, Xia Ningxi was not angry. Instead, she calmly told her, "At most two months, after Young Master Huo has recovered, I will give up the position of department head. The dean will decide who to promote then."
"Who are you kidding? Who would give up this position after taking it?" Su Huixue didn't believe it.
That's the position of department head, a position that countless doctors dream of being promoted to. Xia Ningxi just gave it up like that? How could she be so generous?
