This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

Zhou Cheng, who was staying in the rented room, rested for three days.

For him, these three days were probably the most comfortable and pleasant days in recent years.

Without the constant stream of patients in the emergency room, without endless medical records and emergencies, and without the constant pressure of work, he can simply stay at home and rest.

Every morning, Zhou Cheng wakes up naturally.

After a quick breakfast, I either curl up on the sofa and watch variety shows, laughing out loud at the funny moments, or I pick up a novel I hadn't finished reading and slowly savor it.

When I feel bored, I change into light clothes and go out for a walk, buy some fresh fruits and vegetables, and immerse myself in my own leisurely time.

However, he also noticed a small change during these three days.

Lin Wei, who shares the apartment with the tenant, seems to be exceptionally busy, leaving early and returning late every day, so the two rarely see each other.

Even if they occasionally bump into each other in the living room or kitchen, they only exchange a brief greeting before Lin Wei rushes off to do her own thing without saying much.

Zhou Cheng didn't pay much attention to it, assuming it was just an urgent matter at work.

As for his friend Su Yi, Zhou Cheng initially thought that, given Su Yi's personality, he would definitely take advantage of his suspension to organize a gathering, invite a few colleagues and friends to have a meal and chat with him, and help him solve his problems.

Unexpectedly, Su Yi only called him on the second day after he was suspended from his post, offered a few words of comfort, asked if he needed any help, and after learning that he was fine, he didn't follow up.

This suited Zhou Cheng perfectly. He was happy to have some peace and quiet and didn't want to bother others with his affairs, much less be surrounded by people asking about the details of his suspension.

Without these disturbances, he could finally enjoy this rare holiday in peace.

During that time, while browsing his phone, he occasionally came across videos online criticizing him and smearing the hospital.

The accusations in the video were still full of righteous indignation, and the insults in the comments section did not stop, but Zhou Cheng only glanced at them a few times and then casually scrolled past them, without any ripples on his face, and he didn't care at all.

For him, these public opinion storms were all helping him to complete the task of "being dismissed". The bigger the commotion, the more likely the hospital would dismiss him in order to quell the situation, and the closer he would get to the ten million reward.

All he needs to do now is continue to rest quietly and patiently wait for the hospital's final notification.

……

At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room of the hospital's administrative building was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The dean, vice deans, and heads of core departments such as the medical affairs department, publicity department, administration department, and personnel department gathered again.

Unlike last time, everyone's face was solemn, and the meeting room was silent except for the faint sound of the air conditioning vents.

Dean Duan Bingzheng slammed a document heavily onto the table.

The words "Supervision Notice Regarding the Public Opinion Incident of Emergency Doctors at Jinghua City People's Hospital" are particularly eye-catching on the cover of the document.

"The Health and Family Planning Bureau has issued a supervisory notice."

Duan Bingzheng's voice was hoarse, carrying an undisguised weariness and helplessness.

"The leader in charge of the Health Commission just called me personally. His attitude was very clear: he demanded that we immediately deal with the doctor involved, Zhou Cheng, give the public a satisfactory explanation, quell public opinion as soon as possible, and prevent the situation from escalating and affecting the reputation of the entire medical system."

"The Health and Family Planning Bureau has spoken?" The head of the personnel department turned pale and blurted out, "This... this leaves no room for negotiation. The Health and Family Planning Bureau is our direct superior, and we have no way to disobey their directives."

The head of the administrative department echoed this sentiment, his tone carrying a complex mix of relief and guilt.

"I said before that dismissing Zhou Cheng as soon as possible was the safest approach. Now look what's happened, not only can we not suppress the online public opinion, but we've also alarmed the Health Commission."

"Zhou Cheng is just a probationary employee. Firing him is the cheapest way to quell the storm and preserve the hospital's rating and reputation. After all, the Grade A accreditation is coming up soon, and we really can't afford to gamble."

At this point, Li Jianming, the director of the emergency department, had already compromised.

He had done everything he could to save Zhao Rui when Zhao Rui had that medical accident last time.

But this time, he had no reason, and it was impossible, to defy the orders of his superiors for the sake of a mere Zhou Cheng.

After a long silence, Li Qiang, the director of the medical affairs department, finally spoke: "I have carefully reviewed the collected evidence. Zhou Cheng did not violate any treatment guidelines, and his treatment was entirely in accordance with hospital regulations."

"If we dismiss a doctor who has done nothing wrong simply because of public pressure and supervision from higher authorities, it will not only chill the hearts of all medical staff, but also violate our original mission and bottom line as a hospital."

"I suggest we communicate with the Health Commission again, submit all the evidence, and try to get them to reconsider and give Zhou Cheng a fair outcome."

"Communicate? How can we communicate?" Vice President Zhao Yongli shook his head, his tone full of helplessness. "I just tried to explain to the leaders of the Health Bureau with President Duan, but they wouldn't listen at all. They only emphasized that the public opinion impact was bad and that it had to be dealt with as soon as possible. At this critical juncture, what they fear most is that the situation will escalate and affect their own performance record. They won't bother with us about the truth of the matter."

"But Zhou Cheng is innocent!" Li Jianming wanted to argue, but Duan Bingzheng raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Alright, there's no need to argue anymore." Duan Bingzheng's eyes were no longer hesitant; he said firmly, "The Health Bureau's attitude is very clear, and we have no choice."

"Zhou Cheng is still in his probationary period, so the process of dismissing him is relatively simple and will have the least impact on the hospital. Personnel Department, draft the dismissal notice as soon as possible, using the reasons of 'failing the probationary period assessment and causing negative public opinion due to improper handling of patients'."

"It must be released before the end of tomorrow's workday. At the same time, contact the publicity department to prepare a follow-up statement, and try to guide public opinion in the direction that 'the hospital takes public demands seriously and has dealt with the matter seriously.'"

"Dean, I..." Li Qiang stood up, still wanting to try his best.

"My mind is made up." Duan Bingzheng waved his hand, his tone leaving no room for argument. "The most important thing now is to preserve the hospital's reputation and ensure that the Grade A accreditation process is not affected. Personal grievances can be put aside for now. Meeting adjourned. All departments, get on to the work as soon as possible."

The conference room doors were pushed open one after another, and the leaders walked out with solemn expressions.

Li Jianming and Li Qiang were left behind. They looked at each other and saw the final outcome in each other's eyes.

They knew that from the moment the dean made the decision, Zhou Cheng's fate seemed to have been sealed.

……

At that very moment, a video about Zhou Cheng quietly began to circulate online.
