Chapter 19: Relationships
After the treatment, their relationship took a step further. Lin Youqian became addicted to her, wishing every day was a weekend so he could sleep in with his cute Barbie doll.
"Qiqi, I've already completed your admission paperwork for the military hospital. Can you report in on Monday?"
His identity is rather special, and it is not appropriate for him to show up in the military hospital. If he happens to meet someone he knows, his identity will be exposed to Qi Xu.
Anyway, he plans to retire next year, so it would be better not to involve her in military matters.
"It's okay. The military hospital is right across from our house. I can go there by myself."
New doctors first go to general surgery to gain experience and seniority before they can go to neurosurgery or neurosurgery as assistant physicians.
On Qi Xu's first day at work, he received unanimous praise from hospital leaders for his meticulous and rigorous work attitude and strong professional ability.
"I originally thought this relative was just a show-off, but I didn't expect he was actually quite capable. He could be well-trained."
"Is that Qi Xu a relative? I thought she got in through the Military Medical College."
The question was asked by a surgeon named Zhang Yan, who held a higher rank than new doctors like Qi Xu. As young women, they naturally felt jealous when they saw someone younger, prettier, and more capable than themselves.
Director Zheng of the Department of Surgery was a little displeased when he heard this and reminded her.
"Those who can enter the military hospital are either graduates of the Military Medical College or military dependents who meet the professional requirements. Qi Xu is a natural relationship, so please don't look at her with prejudice. Moreover, she has strong professional skills and is a rare and good doctor. From now on, comrades, unite and help each other and take good care of her."
Another male doctor jokingly lamented, "Doctor Qi is married at such a young age? I was thinking of pursuing her, but it seems like there's no hope!"
Upon hearing this, Director Zheng's expression suddenly became serious and he sternly warned his subordinates.
"I'm warning you, don't even think about taking advantage of this little girl. You can't afford to offend the person behind her."
Suddenly, the small conference room fell silent. No one dared to distract Qi Xu anymore. They just wondered in their hearts who the big boss behind her was.
Zhang Yan liked Dr. Lu, who happened to be the one who had just joked about wanting to pursue Qi Xu. This made Zhang Yan dislike Qi Xu even more.
I grumbled indignantly in my heart, she's already married, yet she still dresses up beautifully and flirts with men on her first day at work, how shameless.
For several days in a row, Zhang Yan disliked Qi Xu and ordered her to do some small things such as changing dressings, giving injections, and cleaning wounds.
Finally, Qi Xu couldn't stand it anymore and confronted her directly.
"Dr. Zhang, I'm not your personal assistant. If you need help with your work, you can ask the nurse. Please don't disturb my consultation time."
Zhang Yan rolled her eyes and acted sarcastic.
"You're the most idle person in our surgery department right now. When there are no patients in the consultation room, what's wrong with helping out your colleagues? They say new doctors should be humble, motivated, and diligent. Dr. Qi is new here, but he's acting quite arrogantly."
Qi Xu smiled and responded to her neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Doctor Zhang, our hospital has a rule that doctors on duty are not allowed to leave their posts during working hours. You repeatedly ask me to do extraneous tasks. Are you deliberately trying to get me punished?"
"Besides, changing dressings, giving injections, and cleaning wounds are all nurses' jobs. If I step in, the nurses at the station will think I'm stealing their jobs."
Zhang Yan thought that she was young and looked delicate and weak, and would be easy to control. However, she turned out to be quite sharp with her little mouth, and was very powerful when she argued with people.
"Since Dr. Qi has divided the work so clearly, then from now on, each of you should do your own work well. Don't call me when you encounter difficulties."
Qi Xu is just an ordinary surgeon. If he encounters a serious injury that requires surgery, he will of course send the patient to a higher-level department. Zhang Yan's words are clearly meant to cause trouble.
"It's okay for Doctor Zhang to embarrass me, but if it embarrasses a patient, I believe the director won't ignore it. I agree with what Doctor Zhang said. We should each do our part, do our part well, and maintain a peaceful relationship as colleagues. It's good for everyone."
"Hmph!" Zhang Yan snorted coldly, holding back her anger, and walked away arrogantly with her head turned away.
A person with connections had the nerve to flaunt his power in front of her, as if he had connections. Everyone in the military hospital knew that Zhang Yan's aunt was the director of the personnel department. Only that little bitch didn't know what was good for her. She was being honored by being asked to do something, but she dared to shirk her responsibility. She was really giving her face.
During the lunch break, she ran to the Personnel Department to find her aunt Zhang Jing, hoping to uncover Qi Xu's past. If she was just the family member of an ordinary junior officer, she would definitely get rid of her.
"Aunt, just tell me how Qi Xu got in!"
Zhang Jing was a principled person and didn't agree to her unreasonable request. "The military hospital's personnel files are confidential and cannot be leaked. Just do your job. Why are you asking about this?"
"That's what I wanted to know. That Qi Xu seduced my boyfriend, Dr. Lu. Didn't you say Dr. Lu is highly educated, has a good family background, and his parents are both high-ranking officials? If she snatched him away, who would I marry?"
Zhang Jing advised her to calm down. "Don't worry, the person behind Qi Xu is a million times better than your Dr. Lu in terms of looks, education, status, and background. Don't mess with that girl. Otherwise, it will be bad for both you and me."
How outstanding must a man be to be more handsome than Dr. Lu and have a better family background?
Zhang Yan didn't listen to her aunt's advice, but became even more jealous of Qi Xu. She pretended to be well-behaved and kept trying to persuade him.
"Aunt, just tell Yanyan who the man behind her is. I promise not to tell anyone. When have I ever caused you any trouble in all these years?"
"Aunt, please tell me, help me, so that Dr. Lu can give up and I can win him over. I'm already 27, and if I don't get married soon I'll become an old maid."
For the sake of her niece's personal affairs, Zhang Jing finally lost her principles and leaked Lin Youqian's identity.
"I'm telling you, Yanyan, this is something you and I know, and no one else must know about it. Otherwise, if that man finds out, we'll both have to quit."
Zhang Yan nodded vigorously. "I know. Don't worry, Auntie. I'll keep this secret a secret. Just tell me, who is that man?"
Zhang Jing whispered in her ear and gestured softly.
"Arsenal, Master Cannon!"
This name was more powerful than a grenade, leaving Zhang Yan stunned.
"Oh my goodness, Qi Xu is actually Pao Ye's man!"
"Yes, Master Pao. He is someone our Zhang family cannot afford to offend. Remember?"
Lin Youqian is not only a high-ranking military officer and a top military equipment engineer, but his family is also one of the most powerful families in Beijing. His status is equivalent to that of a general and a prince, all combined in one person. Who dares to challenge this iron plate?
Zhang Yanyan was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she could only swallow her resentment.
"Master Pao, I don't dare to provoke you. But Qi Xu, you little bitch, don't even think about having an easy time! Just because I don't dare to touch you doesn't mean others can't deal with you! Humph, just wait and see!"
