Chapter 301 - Return of the king (2/2)

This was just how people were. At first, everyone else went easy on her because she was the only women working in a group of men. However, they would no longer go easy on her as time went on. The other doctors all needed to support themselves, which meant they all needed money.

Wang Yanan could only do her best to tolerate how things were for her now. There was no helping it. This was the adult world. This was the medical society.

Attending physician Xue Fei smiled happily when he saw Zhang Fan. Xue Fei got along really well with Zhang Fan, so of course he was happy that Zhang Fan was coming to orthopedic department #1. Xue Fei even secretly made funny faces at Zhang Fan when nobody else was watching!

Zhou Chengfu was another attending physician who had joined Chasu City Hospital in the same year as Xue Fei. Zhou Chengfu was the most skilled attending physician in orthopedic department #1 now! He didn’t have any previous conflicts with Zhang Fan, and their relationship was alright, but he really didn’t want Zhang Fan to come to orthopedic department #1. He felt that Zhang Fan’s skills were far too scarily good! Not only that, the vice superintendent in charge of the surgical departments and the hospital administration director had both personally accompanied Zhang Fan!

The other attending physicians in the department were also surprised, but they didn’t pay Zhang Fan much attention. They were more concerned with their own affairs. The doctors with second-highest level certification all had calm expressions as they glanced over at Director Gao. They could only remain calm. Director Gao was highly skilled to begin with. He’d already suppressed the doctors with second-highest level certification. Now, someone even younger and more amazing had come here. These older doctors’ waves of ambition were slowly extinguished. They no longer felt any more hope!

Meanwhile, there were also two graduate students who had recently joined orthopedic department #1. They felt all sorts of feelings inside. Back when they had been assigned to orthopedic department #1, only a hospital administration employee had accompanied them, and that employee had only been going through the motions. Yet, this undergraduate student was receiving such amazing treatment. Not only did the hospital administration director come with him, even a vice superintendent had come with him as well. Moreover, Director Gao had even delayed the Monday morning’s major checkup on the patients for this undergraduate student’s sake.

No matter how unwilling the graduate students were to accept this, they couldn’t do anything about it at all. They had already signed contracts with the hospital, so they were stuck on this pirate ship. One of the graduate students had a really powerful sounding name. His name was Xu Xian, which meant “wishing to become immortal”! His parents were truly strange, giving him such a name. Still, Xu Xian was quite good at studying. Since he was slightly older for a medical student, he wanted to start going to work and get married first before going back and studying for a doctorate degree.

Xu Xian was slightly unhappy with Zhang Fan’s preferential treatment, but he wasn’t overly unhappy. ‘No matter what this fellow’s skills are, they’ll soon be revealed!’

Director Gao stood up and greeted the Vice Superintendent while also nodding to the hospital administration director. Director Gao then told everyone, “Before we start our work today, let us invite Vice Superintendent Zhao to speak a few words to us. Everyone, welcome Vice Superintendent Zhao!” Director Gao was then the first to start clapping.

“Haha, alright, I’ll just say a few words. Orthopedic department #1! You all are a shining example for Chasu City Hospital. You’ve obtained so much countless unforgettable glory for our hospital before. I’m quite happy to see this since I’m the vice superintendent in charge of the surgical departments. I’ve seen Director Gao’s responsibility and everyone’s hard work for myself. Today, I brought along an excellent coworker for everyone. He’s Zhang Fan, Doctor Zhang. I probably don’t need to introduce him, haha!

“Director Gao, I’m representing the hospital in leaving Doctor Zhang to you. Train him as you like! Doctor Zhang, this is where you’ll be fighting from now on.”

“Thank you for your trouble, Vice Superintendent Zhao. Thank you for recognizing our department’s work. We’ll definitely keep improving in the future.” Director Gao then turned to say to the hospital administration director. “Director Chen, please say a few words.”

Hospital administration Director Chen hurriedly waved his hand. He was only here today to give Zhang Fan face. There was no need for him to speak.

Director Gao saw this, and thus told Zhang Fan, “You should say something.” Zhang Fan hurriedly waved his hand as well. He felt that things were already quite grand for today. If he went up there and said something, then he would be considered really arrogant!

“Alright, since that’s the case, we won’t disturb your work any longer. Feel free to have your meeting!” said Vice Superintendent Zhao. He then patted Zhang Fan on the shoulders again before leaving with the hospital administration director and the hospital administration employee. They were simply here to show off their attitude, the hospital leadership’s attitude.

This was to show how much they valued Zhang Fan; his accomplishments as a rotation doctor were worthy of their attention! This was also to make a show to the higher-ranking doctors in the department. The meaning was quite obvious. ‘Don’t you dare to bully Zhang Fan. He’s got our support!’

Superintendent Ouyang was overprotective like that. She was being incredibly obvious with her favoritism, without even trying to conceal it!

Director Gao waited for the vice superintendent and the others to leave. He then smiled, and told everyone, “Sit down, everyone have a seat. Zhang Fan, you should sit at your old position. You know everyone already, so there’s no need for introductions. Oh, there are two new doctors who joined our department. They joined Chasu City Hospital half a year later than you, but were permanently assigned here earlier than you were. You can get acquainted with each other after this. Now, we’re going to begin our work for the day.”

The doctors and nurses who had been on night shift duty now switched off with those on duty for today’s day shift. After that, the nurses all headed out to perform their work. Orthopedic department #1’s head nurse, Liao Juan, walked at the very back. Right before she left, she turned around and smiled at Director Gao while saying, “Director, are we going to get together for a meal tonight?”

Director Gao smiled, and replied, “Alright, we’ll have a meal together tonight. Please go reserve a hotel, head nurse.”

“Okay!” Liao Juan then winked at Zhang Fan.

The two graduate students were rather confused to see Zhang Fan being treated like this. The hospital leadership really valued him, and even the director and head nurse were treating Zhang Fan so! Just who was this Zhang Fan? The two graduate students exchanged glances and could both tell that the other was really astonished!

“I must say that our department is filled with talented individuals now. Doctor Zhang has been out on rotation for a year, but has finally returned now. All the medical teams are full, so Doctor Zhang can be in a medical team with me. I’ll give you the second shift. You and…” Director Gao stopped for a moment as his attention was caught by someone.

Wang Yanan was hurriedly waving her hand in an effort to attract Director Gao’s attention. She was more mature now, and knew not to just suddenly stand up and interrupt. However, she really didn’t want to let go of this opportunity to be teamed up again with Zhang Fan. Otherwise, it would be far too troublesome, and would raise too much attention if she tried to change the medical teams afterwards.

Director Gao glanced at Wang Yanan. He then smiled as he continued his previous sentence. “…Xue Fei will be in a team together.”

Director Gao then intentionally paused for a moment. Wang Yanan felt like she was about to cry!

Then, Director Gao finally added, “Yeah, Wang Yanan should join this medical team as well. That’s how it will be. I will make adjustments if there’s any issue in the future.” Director Gao then glanced at everyone, and announced, “Let’s all work!”

He then prepared to go to perform outpatient services. He had spent far too much time here today, so there was no time for him to lead a major patient checkup anymore.

After Director Gao left, the original doctors from orthopedic department #1 who were slightly closer to Zhang Fan and the second-highest level certification doctors came over to pat Zhang Fan on the shoulder. The other doctors who only had a normal relationship with him simply greeted him.

Zhou Chengfu had thought things through already. He was going to transfer to orthopedic department #3. He wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything in this department now that Zhang Fan was here. However, he would still act nice towards Zhang Fan for the sake of face. “Ha! Brother Zhang, I missed you so much! Come, give me a hug!” He then wrapped Zhang Fan in a bear hug.

“You probably just want him to take work shifts for you,” Xue Fei commented. He really did want to hug Zhang Fan. Xue Fei felt that he was probably the closest to Zhang Fan out of everyone in this department, yet someone else stole the opportunity for a hug first. This was the difference between him and Zhou Chengfu. Xue Fei was slightly aggrieved.

“Ha, if I ever take another shift of yours so that you can fool your wife, then I’m going to be this.” Zhou Chengfu made a turtle gesture 1.

“Hurry and leave already!” Xue Fei now felt too awkward to hug Zhang Fan. He simply pulled on Zhang Fan’s hand while saying, “Come, let me introduce the new doctors in our department to you.

“This is Xu Xian. He’s both smart and strong. He’s an orthopedic surgery master’s degree major from Dee University. This is Li Yuze, another orthopedic surgery master’s degree major from Dee University.”

Zhang Fan smiled and shook hands with the two graduate student doctors.

Right now, Wang Yanan acted just like a puppy as she followed after Zhang Fan. Although she didn’t say anything, she had a really big smile. Everyone knew that she was incredibly delighted.

Of course she was delighted. Now that Zhang Fan was here and she was teamed up with him, who would still dare to steal her patients or make fun of her?

Zhang Fan turned around and saw that his female disciple was almost in tears with happiness. Although he would see her on occasion and maybe even eat a meal with her from time to time, he smiled to see Wang Yanan in her white doctor’s coat with such a smile. “I’m back. We can finally fight together again!”

Wang Yanan wanted to respond with “I thought you weren’t coming back!”, but before she could say anything, Xue Fei first replied, “There’s also me! We’re all a team!”
