This person is clearly a male protagonist in a female-oriented novel, yet he is excessively lucid.

Qian Liqun picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip to moisten his throat, then looked at Yu Chenzhou with a serious expression and replied in a deep voice:

"Because the patient's family was uneasy, they specifically took the patient's medical records and all the test reports to Lu Haifeng, the vice president of the Second Hospital, to see."

After reading it, Lu Haifeng gave a very clear answer:

This malignant tumor removal surgery is extremely difficult. In the entire city of Shanghai, no one but you, Yu Chenzhou, has an absolute guarantee of success.

"Lu Haifeng..." Yu Chenzhou repeated the name softly, then nodded, his eyes full of understanding, and said with a hint of amusement.

"Old Lu's move was clearly malicious."

He said this not because he had any grudge against Lu Haifeng, but simply because Lu Haifeng and Zhang He had always been rivals, competing openly and secretly for many years.

Moreover, Lu Haifeng's idea of ​​poaching him from this hospital to the Second Hospital has been around for a while; he had subtly approached him several times before.

Furthermore, the president of the Second Hospital is about to retire. At this critical juncture, whoever can achieve something will have the opportunity to take over the president's position.

Although Yu Chenzhou has signed a non-compete agreement with his current hospital, such agreements are mostly only valid for private companies.

As for hospitals with state-owned enterprise backgrounds, they are all brother units under the same organization and leadership. If someone really wants to poach someone, the other party would be too embarrassed to bring up the matter and file a lawsuit.

After all, underhanded competition is acceptable, but open and harmonious coexistence is the basic principle of the industry.

Yu Chenzhou observed the complex expressions on the four people's faces and noticed that their attitudes were somewhat subtle, not like they wanted him to go back. So he asked again:

"Judging from your expressions, it seems you don't really want me to go back to the hospital to perform this surgery? Why?"

Qian Liqun sighed again, his tone full of helplessness:

"Sigh, ever since Zhang He became the dean, he has turned the hospital into a mess, appointing relatives and excluding dissidents. We ordinary doctors are powerless and have no say. Even if we can't stand it, we have no power to change anything."

But you are different. You have superb medical skills. Even though you are currently suspended from your duties and under investigation, Lu Haifeng is eager to recruit you. Not to mention that you have a powerful backer like Academician Zhao.

We just want to ask you, what are your own thoughts on this matter?

Are you planning to take this opportunity to return to the hospital?

"Heh, what else can I think?"

Yu Chenzhou chuckled lightly, his tone frank and somewhat casual, answering as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Since I've been suspended from my duties and am under investigation, I should just stay home and wait for the investigators to find out the truth and clear my name."

Otherwise, why would I be messing around like this?

"If I volunteered to take over the surgery, wouldn't that be suicide, just giving Zhang He an excuse to continue targeting me?"

Although he phrased his words tactfully and did not explicitly say that he did not want to go back, Qian Liqun and the others were all intelligent people and instantly understood the implied meaning in his words.

He had no intention of taking this opportunity to return to the hospital.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong."

Just as the group was exchanging silent glances, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere, the doorbell rang again at Yu Chenzhou's house, breaking the tranquility of the living room.

As Yu Chenzhou got up and walked towards the door, he pondered to himself:

"I guess they're here because of Gu Mo's misdiagnosis. I just don't know who's here this time."

However, to be honest, this plot is completely different from the original story I remember. It seems my protagonist aura has started to take effect, and the plot has already veered off course in a new direction.

This time, Yu Chenzhou was too lazy to check who was outside the door through the peephole and simply reached out and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, a stunningly beautiful face came into view, with skin as white as snow and eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting. It was none other than Su Qinghuan, the female protagonist of the original novel whom Yu Chenzhou had been deliberately avoiding.

A barely perceptible flicker of understanding crossed Yu Chenzhou's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, stepping aside to let Su Qinghuan into the room, and said in a calm tone:

"Come in, perfect timing, everyone's here now."

Yu Chenzhou knew very well that Su Qinghuan's initiative to come to him this time would probably give him a chance to win a prize. He was naturally going to refuse such a freebie.

When Su Qinghuan first heard "everyone is here," she was stunned for a moment and didn't realize who Yu Chenzhou was referring to.

But when she followed Yu Chenzhou into the house and saw Qian Liqun and the other three sitting on the sofa in the living room, she immediately understood.

Clearly, these four colleagues were also there for the surgery.

Su Qinghuan didn't beat around the bush. She walked straight to the center of the living room, didn't sit down, and got straight to the point:

"It seems you already know about Gu Mo's surgical mistake."

Since that's the case, I won't waste any more words.

Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. As a doctor, I hope you will prioritize the patient's life and take on this surgery.

When Su Qinghuan spoke, she still spoke in that matter-of-fact tone, as if Yu Chenzhou should unconditionally agree to her requests.

This self-righteous demeanor instantly amused Yu Chenzhou. He raised an eyebrow and retorted without any politeness:

"That's really interesting to hear."

You knew I was currently suspended from work, yet you still made me undergo surgery? Are you threatening me to break the law?

"Is there a problem with that?"

Su Qinghuan frowned, her tone still firm, even carrying a hint of bewilderment at Yu Chenzhou's "making a mountain out of a molehill." She turned to the four people on the sofa, Qian Liqun and the others, who looked completely bewildered, as if seeking their approval.

"As a doctor, you shouldn't have so many unnecessary worries."

Saving lives is our sacred duty; nothing else matters as long as we can save patients!

Yu Chenzhou's smile gradually faded, his tone becoming more serious as he looked at Su Qinghuan and asked earnestly:

"Then, if I may ask, you should be aware of the relevant legal provisions, right?"

If a doctor practices medicine without authorization after being suspended from duty, it will be classified as "practicing medicine without a license." This will not only trigger administrative, civil, and criminal legal liabilities, but also impose professional and industry sanctions. In serious cases, it may even lead to imprisonment.

If you ask me to have surgery, who will ultimately bear the consequences and legal responsibility?

Is it you, or the hospital?

Su Qinghuan was slightly taken aback by the question, her eyes darting around. She didn't answer the crucial question directly, but instead gave a vague reply:

"You don't need to worry about these things."

Your intentions are good; you want to save the patient. The patient and their family will be grateful to you.

Furthermore, as long as the surgery is successful, the hospital will issue you the relevant documentation, and you will not be held liable.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, her reaction clearly showed that she was aware of the consequences of self-medicating.

Upon hearing Su Qinghuan's irresponsible words, Yu Chenzhou's face revealed an expression of "I knew it."

He knew Su Qinghuan would say that; it was a typical case of overflowing maternal instinct, only considering his own "greater good" and completely disregarding the actual consequences.

Qian Liqun and the other three were completely dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief, and their eyes were filled with shock when they looked at each other.

They only knew that Su Qinghuan had a strong sense of morality and always put "morality" first, but they never expected that her thought process was so unique.

They can even justify something as illegal as "a suspended doctor practicing medicine without authorization" with such confidence.

"I'm sorry, although what you said makes a lot of sense, I still can't agree to it."

Yu Chenzhou's face regained its gentle smile, and he calmly refused.

"I still want to be a law-abiding citizen and don't want to end up in jail because of a moment of impulse."

The reason he didn't make any definitive statements was because he had a little something going on in mind, like winning the lottery.

Because Yu Chenzhou knew Su Qinghuan's personality all too well. She was a saint and persistent, and would never give up after just one rejection. As long as she continued to persuade him, he could continue to get chances to win the lottery.

Seeing that Yu Chenzhou could calmly and politely refuse such an outrageous and irresponsible request without getting angry, Qian Liqun and the other three couldn't help but secretly admire him.

Yu Chenzhou has a really good personality and such a gentle temper. If it were them, they probably would have lost their temper long ago.

Even when refusing others, he is so polite and tactful. No wonder he is valued by Lu Haifeng and Academician Zhao.

Su Qinghuan's face showed a hint of disappointment, but she did not give up completely. Looking at Yu Chenzhou earnestly, she said:

"Think about it again."

I will also go back and try my best to persuade the dean to provide the relevant information as soon as possible to prove your innocence and allow you to be reinstated at an early date.

After saying that, she didn't linger any longer and turned to walk towards the door.

In Su Qinghuan's mind, the reason why Yu Chenzhou was unwilling to take on this surgery was because he had been suspended from his job and was worried about bearing legal responsibility.

Therefore, in her view, as long as Yu Chenzhou could be reinstated smoothly, all the problems would be solved.

Given this, her primary task now is to persuade Dean Zhang He to help Yu Chenzhou clear his name and reinstate him.

Moreover, she had a deeper thought in her heart:

Once Yu Chenzhou can return to normal work and have a stable source of income, he will no longer need to accept Xiao Yilin's help.

At that time, she will be able to use her "righteousness" and sacrifice to win Yu Chenzhou back from Xiao Yilin.

That's right, the reason she had this idea was because she had learned from Zhu Ying that Xiao Yilin had returned to China and had reconciled with Yu Chenzhou.

After learning the news, she and Zhu Ying analyzed it carefully and finally came to this conclusion.

After all, Xiao Yilin's workplace and professional identity are not secrets; they can be easily found with a little investigation.

It is also a "fact" that Yu Chenzhou was in a tight financial situation due to his resignation and mortgage payments.

In their view, the house Yu Chenzhou is currently living in was probably bought by Xiao Yilin.

Otherwise, given Yu Chenzhou's previous financial situation, he would never still be living here.

Su Qinghuan opened the door and went out. Seeing this, Qian Liqun and the other three also got up to say goodbye to Yu Chenzhou and left after her.

They originally came to deliver a message, and now that the message has been conveyed and Su Qinghuan has come, there is naturally no need for them to stay any longer.

Just as Su Qinghuan left, a system notification sounded in Yu Chenzhou's mind.

He successfully gained a chance to win a prize by refusing Su Qinghuan's outrageous request.
