Chapter 201: Battle Strategies (1/2)
Cheng Yang raised his middle finger at him.
Lu Chenzhou ignored his provocative gesture as he usually did, coolly picked up his own clothes, and then put them on properly. After glancing one last time at Cheng Yang, who was lying paralyzed on the bed, he left.
As Lu Chenzhou walked through the living room, Cheng Yang heard him make a call. “Prepare a bed and have it brought to the residential area near Renyi…… Yes, tomorrow’s fine.”
“……”
Was he disdaining the fact that I laid down on this bed? Lu Chenzhou’s every action aggravated Cheng Yang, to the point where he wanted to run out and start fighting with him again. Did he have to act so arrogantly just because he had money? Cheng Yang was really infuriated!
But Cheng Yang didn’t think things through. The next day, when he came back to Cheng Xi’s apartment, he found that…… He! Couldn’t! Enter!
His fingerprint had been removed from the scanner’s database, and the passcode had been changed.
A wad of disgust welled up from within Cheng Yang’s chest and got stuck in his throat, unable to be swallowed or spat out. It took him quite a while before he calmed down and called Cheng Xi. “What’s the master passcode at your place?”
By then, Cheng Xi had long since arrived at Gansu and had started working. She quietly and obediently listened to her seniors, allowing her beauty, skills, generosity, and calmness to quickly establish a strong foothold for herself there.
Of course, it also helped that the psychiatry department there was pretty weak.
When she received Cheng Yang’s call, she was actually heading to the director’s office. She didn’t ask why he needed the master passcode, and only answered back with a string of numbers before hanging up.
Cheng Yang entered the passcode that Cheng Xi gave him, all the while thinking, Ha, did Lu Chenzhou really think that I’d be locked out if he deleted my fingerprint and changed the passcode? He really looks down on me, doesn’t he?! Well, why don’t you change the master passcode, too.
But it really didn’t do him well to underestimate Lu Chenzhou, because when Cheng Yang entered the master passcode that Cheng Xi had given him, a robotic female voice expressionlessly said, “I’m sorry, but your passcode is incorrect. Please try again.”
“……”
He was so furious that he called some of his workers over. “Get two people over here right now. I want to Replace! A! Door!”
Let’s see who wins in the end, hmm?
While Cheng Yang was fighting childishly with Lu Chenzhou, Cheng Xi pushed open the door to the director’s office. Gansu’s psychiatry department head was a forty-something female. She wasn’t too tall and had slightly curly hair. When she was young, she too had studied at Renyi. She respected Cai Yi very much, so she was particularly friendly towards Cheng Xi.
Whenever Cheng Xi ran into her, she would invariably ask, “Are you used to the place yet?”
And then she would follow up with, “If you need anything, just let me know.”
This time was the same, and Cheng Xi smiled and replied, as she always did, “I’m quite used to it already. I’m not a picky person, so I can feel at home just about anywhere.”
This was the honest truth. Cheng Xi had very few needs, so as long as she had something to do, food to eat, and a place to sleep, she would be fine. She had the basic necessities and wasn’t lacking in either mental fortitude or material things.
After hearing her serious reply, the director smiled a little. “You’ve really changed my opinion on young doctors—you’re not pampered or unreasonable at all. Alright, since you’re so used to it, then please take care of this patient suffering from PTSD.”
She then handed Cheng Xi the medical records in front of her.
Cheng Xi slowly started flipping through and reading the dossier. The patient was a thirty-year-old female teacher. After an earthquake in 20XX, she had developed mental issues, and because she didn’t receive any counseling in time, her mental trauma had developed into PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder.
Gansu was located right on top of a fault line, which meant that there were many earthquakes and even more patients like this one. The director said, “This patient was sent over by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Her identity’s a bit special, as she’s both a hero and a victim. In that earthquake, she ended up saving 24 children, but she also lost a leg and her newlywed husband in the process. The ministry regards this patient very highly, and I know that you even treated a very troublesome case of Cotard’s syndrome. Thus, I recommended you to them.”
Upon hearing the director’s last words, Cheng Xi paused for a moment before shaking her head. “Actually, she hasn’t completely recovered yet. That patient’s still in the hospital, and she appears to have relapsed.”
