The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

The rescue work at the First Hospital has been completed, so we definitely can't apply for personnel transfers from there. It seems we can only select personnel from the medical department within the regiment.

Upon returning, Lu Zhenghan immediately notified the medical department to convene an emergency meeting.

All personnel who actively participated in this rescue operation will be awarded a third-class merit medal and will be given priority consideration for future promotions or examinations.

We want to encourage everyone to participate actively through rewards.

Xia Qiuran was temporarily dispatched to the First Hospital to treat seriously injured patients, so she missed this meeting.

The others in the medical room, sitting in the conference room, looked at each other when they heard Lu Zhenghan say this, as if they were all waiting for someone else to step forward first.

This third-class merit award is not easy to obtain.

Not only are the conditions at the shelter harsh, but with so many people living together, safety is also a concern. Furthermore, there is a possibility that someone might be carrying an infectious disease, and if someone is unable to be cured, they could easily be blamed.

Even with the highest subsidies and rewards, no one would be willing to do a job as difficult as this.

Besides, all they're offering now is a third-class dukeship and some vague promises; anyone who goes would be a fool.

"Dr. Bai, you're one of the veterans in our regiment, and you have the longest military service in the medical ward. I heard you even received a personal honor award last month. Why don't you set an example for everyone?" Zhou Guangming said first when no one spoke.

Looking at the entire infirmary, if one had to choose, Bai Yunyun would be the best choice.

Because of her family's connections and wealth, she always gets all the good things, but when it comes to dangerous or arduous tasks, she disappears without a trace. This time, he's going to teach her a lesson.

When Bai Yunyun's name was called, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but curse inwardly, "What did this old man do to offend him? Why doesn't he call on me for something good?"

He rolled his eyes and immediately said.

"Political Commissar, it is precisely because I am a veteran in the regiment that I should give more opportunities to newcomers to gain experience. I don't mind suffering a little loss, but we must not let the newcomers miss out on such a good opportunity."

After saying that, he stood up again and spoke with great enthusiasm to his colleagues sitting with him.

"Comrades, this is a third-class merit, a good thing that most soldiers never get to experience in their entire careers. You must take the initiative to strive for it."

But people aren't stupid. If it were really a good thing, they would get a chance to go. What kind of place is the rescue station? It's a place where people work themselves to death and get no reward. Whoever wants to go can go. They might as well not get the third-class merit.

Seeing that no one responded, Bai Yunyun felt a little embarrassed and immediately fixed her gaze on Sun Rong's face.

Sun Rong understood immediately and went along with it.

"Hey, why isn't Dr. Xia here? She's the youngest military doctor in our infirmary. I think she's the perfect candidate to go to the aid station this time."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yunyun immediately smiled with satisfaction at Sun Rong: "Political Commissar, the eyes of the masses are discerning. Since everyone thinks so, it seems that this glorious mission is none other than Dr. Xia's."

By assigning tasks to people who aren't present, the person receiving the task can neither object nor refuse, and the best part is that the person is the one they dislike the most—truly killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Zhenghan, who was sitting in the main seat, did not speak, but Zhou Guangming next to him smiled first.

"You're really good at playing the abacus, Dr. Bai. I heard that at the most critical moment of the disaster relief, Dean Gao sent you back to the army? Don't you think you should make amends now?"

In one sentence, Bai Yunyun's embarrassing incident was clearly stated.

Bai Yunyun immediately glanced at Lu Zhenghan. Out of so many people, she was the only one who was sent back. She couldn't say such an embarrassing thing in front of Lu Zhenghan.

But her own explanation seemed a bit like sophistry, so Bai Yunyun immediately turned her gaze to Sun Rong.

Upon receiving the order, Sun Rong didn't dare to delay and quickly said, "Political Commissar, there's a reason why Dr. Bai acted that way..."

Before Sun Rong could finish speaking, Zhou Guangming interrupted her, his tone clearly filled with anger.

"Medical worker Sun, I heard that Dr. Xia slapped you hard on the truck to the disaster area, and your eye was bruised. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenghan was even more surprised than Sun Rong. He had been busy with the disaster relief efforts these past few days and hadn't paid any attention to the group. How could Xia Qiuran have attacked Sun Rong? He wondered if she was injured.

"Yes, Political Commissar Zhou, but it's alright. Dr. Xia was probably just too tired that day and was in a bad mood. I won't pursue the matter."

Sun Rong swallowed nervously, her eyes starting to dart around. Wasn't it supposed to be Bai Yunyun? How did the fire suddenly turn to her?

She had said that the regimental commander was having an affair with Xia Qiuran and that the commander was dead. If the commander found out now, she would be in big trouble.

"Is it really because you're too tired and in a bad mood? Or is it because you said something to the commander?" Zhou Guangming's eyes were sharp as knives as he stared at Sun Rong, as if he wanted to pierce her through.

"I swear to God, Political Commissar, I didn't say anything. I just... I was just making a couple of jokes. Everyone on the bus heard it." Sun Rong's eyes darted around, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, her heart pounding with panic.

"Medic Sun, do you think I'm just a figurehead, a decoration, that I know nothing about what's happening in our regiment, like I'm blind?"

Zhou Guangming slammed his hand on the table, his eyes turning red.

"You said the regimental commander was buried and definitely wouldn't survive, so Dr. Xia hit you, is that right?"

With the regimental commander's fate unknown at the front, some soldiers started spreading rumors and disrupting morale. If this were actually on the battlefield, he would definitely be the first to execute such a person.

So that's why Xia Qiuran hit someone. When Lu Zhenghan heard this, he wasn't angry at all; instead, he was pleasantly surprised. It seemed that she still cared about him.

"Political Commissar, I swear to God, I never thought that way."

"Dr. Bai, I spoke up for you that day, please explain this to me!"

Sun Rong was so anxious that a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her speech became incoherent. In the end, she had no choice but to ask Bai Yunyun for help.

But Bai Yunyun is already in dire straits herself, so how could she possibly care about her? Bai Yunyun would love for Zhou Guangming to punish Sun Rong severely and then stop punishing her.

"Sun Rong, since the political commissar brought this up at the conference, he must have evidence. I advise you to just admit it."

"Why should I admit it? I was just joking a couple of times. You're so important, you were kicked out in an emergency and it's okay, so why should I be punished? This isn't fair!" Sun Rong stood up, her eyes filled with panic, and shouted at Bai Yunyun.

If she really goes to that dangerous and disgusting shelter, it's uncertain whether she'll ever come back alive.

"Shut up! You're just a medic, what right do you have to talk to me like that?"

Bai Yunyun slammed her hand on the table, her eyes practically spitting fire.

"Political Commissar, I think it would be most appropriate to let Sun Rong and Xia Qiuran go together."

"Ding ding."

Just as the two were arguing, there was a sudden knock on the conference room door.
