Xia Zhining quickly told the story of the red panda's sudden emergency and needing surgery, but the treating veterinarian had been maliciously poached.
"This is too immoral!"
Wu Zhe was indignant upon hearing this. "The labor department is responsible for holding them accountable, and we have no control over that. But we can definitely solve the veterinary staffing problem right away!"
"Just wait! I'll get someone for you right away!" Wu Zhe said decisively, "I'll have the veterinarian contact you directly, okay?"
"Good! Good! Absolutely good~" Xia Zhining almost cried with joy after hearing this. This was simply timely help!
Xia Zhining hurried back to the medical room and felt warm in her heart when she saw Song Qiuyi still taking good care of the suffering red panda Juju by the bedside.
"Hold on a little longer, a veterinarian will be here to help you soon. Now let's do our best to relieve Juju's pain."
Song Qiuyi's eyes instantly turned red when she heard this. She gently stroked Juju's soft hair, her voice choked with sobs but filled with hope: "Juju, be good, bear with it a little longer, it will stop hurting soon~"
The red panda seemed to understand the comfort, and weakly blinked its big wet eyes. It rubbed its furry cheek against Song Qiuyi's palm and made a slight whimpering sound, looking pitiful and obedient.
Xia Zhining squatted down and said softly, "Come, I'll teach you how to relieve the pain of a little guy like Juju."
She began to demonstrate the unique massage technique she had developed over the years, her fingers gently and precisely drawing circles on the red panda's abdomen.
"Thank you, Qiuyi," Xia Zhining said softly while rubbing Juju's belly, "You didn't get poached at the last minute and chose to stay with me."
Song Qiuyi's cheeks flushed instantly, and she whispered sheepishly, "Actually... Xia's Pet Hospital also contacted me. They offered me triple my salary and also promised to pay for my breach of contract..."
Xia Zhining wasn't surprised to hear that. She was more curious about another question: "Then why didn't you agree?"
Song Qiuyi scratched her head embarrassedly: "To be honest, I am really tempted! That's Xia's Pet Hospital!"
"But then I thought," she continued, "Xia's is one of the top pet hospitals in the country. I've seen their recruitment requirements—you must be a graduate of a top veterinary school in the country to intern there. Others are either senior experts or those who have studied abroad."
"If I were to go to a junior assistant like me, who graduated from an ordinary college and has only been working for a year and a half, I'd probably be swept away without a trace... and I might even be isolated."
Song Qiuyi's voice gradually became quieter, a hint of fear lingering in her voice. "After all, my education and experience are completely different from theirs... Why would they choose me? I have a feeling there's something fishy going on here."
Xia Zhining couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this. What a sharp intuition!
The desire to attract talented people is even stronger.
Song Qiuyi moved closer and lowered her voice, "Also... I vaguely heard that the working atmosphere at Xia's Pet Hospital is particularly terrible."
"I had a senior who finally got into a top veterinary school abroad. After graduating, she returned to China and joined Xia's. But she developed anxiety due to the overwhelming pressure, and ultimately couldn't take it anymore, so she resigned..."
Xia Zhining heard this and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
That’s absolutely right.
After all, she has been working in Xia's Pet Hospital since her freshman year.
That place wasn't a place for saving lives or healing the wounded; it was clearly a gladiatorial arena, full of people vying for credit, engaging in meaningless internal competition, and using any means necessary to achieve their goals...
All kinds of messy things happened one after another, turning the pet hospital into a palace fighting drama.
Xia Zhining raised her deer-like clear and bright eyes and looked at Song Qiuyi seriously: "Sister Qiuyi, thank you so much."
Her tone was firm and sincere: "I will never let you down."
"I will never treat you unfairly."
Song Qiuyi felt a little embarrassed by this straightforward and sincere gaze, and her cheeks felt slightly hot.
It’s strange to say, if someone else said such a thing, it would inevitably make people feel that they were just exaggerating.
But when it comes from the mouth of Principal Xiao Xia, people are inexplicably willing to believe it.
She nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling: "Yes! I believe you, Principal Xiao Xia!"
While the two were talking, Xia Zhining's cell phone rang.
She picked up the phone, and an excited and anxious voice came from the other end:
