Chapter 90 Assistance
Qin Wanqiu's words still stood on the high ground of the system, leaving no room for rebuttal, but they completely exposed her determination to eliminate Xia Fanxing.
In this assessment, Xia Fanxing won in substance.
However, Qin Wanqiu held the power to decide whether she stayed or left.
The meeting room fell silent again, and everyone's eyes turned to Xia Fanxing once more.
They could also sense that Xia Fanxing would probably have to go to the agricultural sector even if she didn't want to be a sanitation worker anymore.
Just when Qin Wanqiu thought she had cornered Xia Fanxing with the "rules and regulations" as her trump card, a deep, aged, and authoritative voice rang out at the conference room door—
"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an elderly man, about fifty years old, standing there in a faded old military uniform.
He was thin, with a faint, almost imperceptible weariness and sallow complexion.
But he stood very straight, his eyes were sharp as an eagle, and his expression was very dignified, clearly the kind of leader who had been in a high position for many years.
His gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on Xia Fanxing.
When he looked at Xia Fanxing, his eyes revealed a complex scrutiny.
Before Xia Fanxing could wonder what he meant, he looked away and nodded slightly to Qin Wanqiu.
"Captain Qin."
Upon seeing the newcomer, Qin Wanqiu immediately stood up from her seat and gave a very respectful military salute, "Good morning, Team Leader Li!"
The elderly man's name is Li Chongshan, and he is the leader of the joint working group for wartime medical support.
Compared to Qin Wanqiu, the temporary medical team leader, Li Chongshan, the group leader, held a legitimate and prestigious official position.
His qualifications and achievements are among the best in the entire military region.
"Team Leader Li!" As Qin Wanqiu finished speaking, everyone in the conference room stood up nervously to greet him.
Qin Wanqiu had not forgotten what Li Chongshan had just said.
Moreover, that sentence was said by Li Chongshan after she wanted Xia Fanxing to become a medic in the agricultural company.
So what does Li Chongshan mean?
Her heart skipped a beat; she had a bad feeling.
However, Li Chongshan came to the regimental headquarters because of her medical team, and they could work together.
Given Li Chongshan's previous status, it would have been impossible for him to know Xia Fanxing.
She's probably overthinking it...
Li Chongshan strode into the conference room, and Qin Wanqiu quickly offered him her seat, giving him the highest-ranking single seat.
Li Chongshan walked slowly, his steps were slightly heavy, but each step was steady.
After he sat down, he didn't look at Qin Wanqiu, but at Xia Fanxing, his tone calm but firm: "I already knew about Comrade Xia Fanxing's abilities and contributions beforehand."
"The public's praise and several successful treatment cases are the best proof of her abilities, which speaks volumes more than a diploma. With the heavy border defense and combat readiness tasks at hand, the regimental hospital urgently needs someone with her genuine skills. I've made an exception and approved her stay."
Li Chongshan paused, then added, "As for the qualification issue, Comrade Xia Fanxing, the organization is giving you a chance, but you must also pass the learning and assessment as soon as possible, obtain the necessary certificates, shut up any criticisms, and make yourself legitimate. Is that alright?"
Xia Fanxing met Li Chongshan's gaze directly, her eyes showing no sign of hesitation, and said confidently, "No problem. Thank you, Team Leader Li."
Qin Wanqiu simply couldn't believe her ears!
Li Chongshan actually helped Xia Fanxing? How could it be Li Chongshan?
She had previously learned about the relevant leaders in detail and had heard of the renowned reputation of this group leader, Li Chongshan.
As far as she knew, Li Chongshan was notoriously rigid, meticulous, and only respected rules, not people!
I heard that he once prevented his nephew from passing an exam because he was just one point short. How could someone like that possibly make an exception for a capitalist's daughter who has a bad family background and is practicing medicine without a license?!
Could it be that Li Chongshan has been blinded by Xia Fanxing's beauty?
But Li Chongshan is so old and still hasn't married. Moreover, he has remained chaste for so many years and has never had a woman by his side. He doesn't seem like that kind of person!
Qin Wanqiu's heart was in turmoil, deeply shocked.
She steadied herself, forcibly suppressing these emotions, and quickly put on a respectful yet troubled expression.
"Team Leader Li, we will resolutely carry out your instructions. However, the issue of qualifications... this is a matter of principle, concerning medical safety and liability. What if, and I mean just what if, in the future, a medical accident occurs due to Comrade Xia Fanxing's improper operation or limited understanding? Who will be held responsible? We are also being responsible to the soldiers of the Corps, and to life itself."
Qin Wanqiu's words remained high-sounding and dignified.
His words even subtly conveyed a threat and a warning, attempting to make Li Chongshan back down.
Li Chongshan remained silent for a moment upon hearing this.
He frowned slightly, as if he was seriously considering the question.
Seeing his reaction, Qin Wanqiu was secretly pleased, thinking that her words had moved him.
However, Li Chongshan quickly raised his head.
He glanced at Qin Wanqiu, who immediately wiped the slight smile from her lips and put on a worried expression.
He then looked at Xia Fanxing and made a decision that once again astonished Qin Wanqiu: "Captain Qin's considerations are also reasonable. Here's what we'll do: Comrade Xia Fanxing, in the future, if you encounter any situations in your diagnosis or treatment that you are not entirely confident about or unsure of, no matter how small, you can come to my office to ask me anytime. We'll discuss it together and share the responsibility."
Not only Qin Wanqiu, but everyone in the conference room couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Li Chongshan's words directly placed the greatest responsibility on himself, and were also a response to Qin Wanqiu's doubts and threats.
He used his own reputation and authority to give Xia Fanxing the ultimate guarantee!
If everyone didn't know that Xia Fanxing had only arrived at the regimental headquarters a few months ago, while Li Chongshan had only arrived today, they would all have suspected that Xia Fanxing was Li Chongshan's long-lost biological daughter.
Otherwise, why would someone be so nice to someone they've just met or just gotten to know?
Qin Wanqiu was completely dumbfounded.
Her mind went blank; she stopped thinking completely.
Li Chongshan's performance today overturned all her understanding and perception of him. He was not at all the cold-faced, selfless, and iron-fisted person she had heard about!
What kind of bewitching potion did Xia Fanxing give him?
Li Chongshan clearly didn't want to say anything more and announced directly, "This matter is settled. Meeting adjourned."
After saying that, he turned and walked out first.
Xia Fanxing keenly noticed that his steps seemed heavier than when he arrived.
The instant he stepped out the door, his hand moved with lightning speed and stealth, pressing and rubbing his lower back twice, a fleeting look of suppressed pain flashing across his brow.
