This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

As the workday was drawing to a close, there were no patients left in the clinic.

Chen Xi couldn't help but lean closer to Li Yang and whisper, "Isn't Teacher Zhao being a bit too perfunctory? Many patients clearly don't need so many tests or hospitalization, and he just treats them so casually?"

Li Yang frowned as well: "Yes, he's no match for Senior Brother Zhou at all."

"Senior Brother Zhou always makes a careful assessment first, and he will never keep patients under observation if the treatment can be done in an outpatient setting, and he will never waste any unnecessary tests."

"I really don't know why Senior Brother Zhou was suspended. That patient's video is definitely a fabrication!"

Both of them felt heavy-hearted, worried about Zhou Cheng's situation and uncomfortable with Zhao Rui's treatment style.

……

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

In less than an afternoon, the medical staff in the entire emergency department gradually learned about Zhou Cheng's situation.

At this moment, Zhou Cheng was still fast asleep in his rented room, even having a sweet dream.

In his dream, he was pondering how to spend the ten million bonus he received for being fired...

He slept until 6 p.m., and when he woke up he found several missed calls on his phone.

Most of them were familiar colleagues from the emergency department, such as Fang Hang, Zhao Wenqi, Lin Ling, and senior physician Li Degang.

Zhou Cheng didn't rush to return the call. Instead, he opened his WeChat and found many messages asking about his "suspension from duty".

It seems that the entire emergency department staff is aware of this matter.

Zhou Cheng first called Fang Hang back.

The phone was answered after just one ring.

Fang Hang's familiar voice came through the receiver, tinged with obvious worry: "Junior brother, have you been suspended? I heard my colleagues talking about it when I went to work this afternoon. They said there are negative videos of you online. What exactly happened?"

Zhou Cheng's tone remained relatively relaxed: "Yeah, I've been suspended and am waiting for an investigation at home. It was just that at lunchtime, a patient who hadn't registered blocked my way. I ignored him, and he filmed a video and posted it online to smear me."

He briefly recounted what had happened, without adding any emotion.

"Is this even possible?" Fang Hang was furious. "Leaving get off work on time is your right. He didn't register and was being unreasonable. Why should you suffer this injustice? Do you need me to find some colleagues to testify? There must have been other people there who saw what happened. There are surveillance cameras in the emergency room."

"No need, senior brother, thank you for your concern." Zhou Cheng declined with a smile. "The hospital will investigate. I'm fine here, so you don't need to worry about me."

"Okay, I'm glad you're alright. Let me know if you need any help."

"Thank you, senior brother."

After hanging up with Fang Hang, Zhou Cheng called Zhao Wenqi back.

When the call connected, her voice was anxious: "Dr. Zhou, we all know you've been suspended! We've seen the video too; many colleagues know that patient was being unreasonable. Please don't take it to heart! Is there anything we can do?"

"Thank you, Sister Wenqi, I'm fine." Zhou Cheng said gently, "I'm just resting at home and waiting for the investigation results. No need to trouble everyone."

"Let us know if you need anything!" Zhao Wenqi added a few more words of advice before hanging up the phone.

Next, Zhou Cheng also needs to reply to his superior physician, Li Degang.

Compared to the anxiety of the previous two, Li Degang's tone was much calmer, but concern could still be heard: "Zhou Cheng, I know about the suspension. I've seen the video online, and I have a general understanding of the situation. You didn't do anything wrong, so don't panic."

"Thank you, Teacher Li," Zhou Cheng replied.

"You don't need to worry too much about the hospital's investigation. I've already reported the situation to Director Li Jianming, explaining that your usual treatment style has always been very standardized, and this time the patient was being unreasonable." Li Degang paused, then continued, "Just rest well at home during this time, don't think too much about it, and I'll let you know promptly if there are any developments."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Teacher Li."

Zhou Cheng felt a warmth in his heart. He hadn't expected that so many people in his department would care about him after he was suspended from his post.

However, no one could stop him from leaving.

……

Zhou Cheng had just gotten up and sat for a while when he heard the sound of a key opening the door coming from the direction of the living room.

It must be Lin Wei who has returned.

Sure enough, a short while later, there was a gentle knock on his door.

Lin Wei's voice came from outside the door, gentle and somewhat casual: "Zhou Cheng, are you home?"

Zhou Cheng went to open the door. "Hmm, you're off work?"

Lin Wei smiled gently, "Yes, I just got back from get off work. I bought some fresh vegetables and was wondering if you've had dinner yet? If not, would you like to grab something to eat together?"

Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment, and his first instinct was to refuse.

But just as he was about to speak, his stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment.

The home-cooked meal I had with Fang Hang at noon had long been digested, and after sleeping for so long in the afternoon, I was indeed hungry.

The clear growl of a stomach rang out, and Lin Wei, outside the door, couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Zhou Cheng rubbed his stomach somewhat awkwardly: "I haven't eaten yet, then I'll trouble you. Let me make it for you."

"No trouble at all. I bought pork ribs and greens, and some corn too. I plan to make a pork rib soup and stir-fry some greens. That should be enough for us." After saying that, Lin Wei turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Zhou Cheng responded, casually picked up his coat from the back of the chair, put it on, opened the door, and went out.

In the living room, Lin Wei had already placed the groceries she bought on the dining table and was bending down to take an apron from the cabinet.

Zhou Cheng walked over, looked at the fresh ingredients on the table, and offered, "Shall I wash the vegetables for you?"

"Okay, I'll prepare the ribs then." Lin Wei straightened up and handed Zhou Cheng a clean basin for washing vegetables. "You're off work so early today? You're usually still at the hospital at this time, right?"

Zhou Cheng took the basin, picked up the greens on the table, put them in the basin, and slowly rinsed the dirt off the leaves with water.

"I've been suspended from work and don't need to go to work for the time being. I'll stay home and wait for the hospital's investigation results."

"Suspended from duty?" Lin Wei paused upon hearing this, turning to look at him with surprise in her eyes. "Why were you suddenly suspended? Did something happen?"

As Zhou Cheng carefully scrubbed the dirt off the roots of the vegetables, he recounted the events of the morning.

He spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something trivial, without stopping the washing of vegetables in his hands.

Lin Wei listened, her brows furrowing slightly, her tone tinged with anger: "Are there really people like this? Acting so unreasonable without an appointment, and even filming a video to smear you—that's going too far! Will the hospital's investigation be detrimental to you?"

"It's hard to say, let's take it one step at a time." Zhou Cheng took out the washed vegetables and put them in the drain basket next to him, then picked up another bunch of vegetables and continued to rinse them.

Lin Wei responded and continued processing the ribs, saying, "Don't worry too much. The innocent will be proven innocent. The hospital will definitely clear your name after they investigate."

"Maybe, who knows?" Zhou Cheng smiled, washed the last bunch of vegetables, put them in the colander, and wiped the water off his hands.

"You rest, I'll take care of the rest." Lin Wei quickly waved her hand and pointed to the sofa in the living room. "Go sit on the sofa for a while, the pork rib soup will take a while to cook."

Zhou Cheng nodded. He wasn't good at cooking, and staying in the kitchen would only be a hindrance.

However, he was somewhat surprised by Lin Wei's reaction just now; she seemed very angry and was standing up for him.

To be honest, he still doesn't understand why Lin Wei's favorability rating towards him is 85 points.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. It's good enough to get a free meal right now.
