"Please come in."

After receiving permission, Xia Qiuran pushed open the door and entered the conference room.

After returning from the First Hospital, she found the infirmary empty and asked around, only to learn that they had all been called there by Lu Zhenghan for a meeting.

She was talking about the job at the rescue station. One mission could earn her a third-class merit, and it would also give her priority points in future exams and promotions. She couldn't miss such a good opportunity.

Although the process is dangerous, as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold; there is no reward without effort.

Especially for a rural girl like her with no family background or connections, if she's afraid of this and that, she'll probably never have a chance to get ahead in her life.

"Report, Commander, Political Commissar, I heard there's a meeting being called. I just got back from the First Hospital, so I'm late."

Upon entering, Xia Qiuran first gave a respectful salute.

"It's alright, the meeting has just started, please have a seat," Zhou Guangming replied.

After Xia Qiuran sat down, Bai Yunyun glanced at her impatiently and, wanting to settle the matter quickly, spoke directly.

"Dr. Xia, the leadership has decided to send you to work at the shelter. Do you have any objections?"

"Dr. Bai, please be mindful of discipline. When did we say we were going to send Dr. Xia to the shelter?"

Before Xia Qiuran could answer, Zhou Guangming slammed his hand on the table. He then glanced around at everyone in the conference room, all of them with their heads down, just like students afraid of being called on by the teacher in class.

What a bunch of cowards! We have to find a way to fix this problem. Seeing that no one was willing to speak up, Zhou Guangming finally made the decision.

"Since no one has volunteered, I think we should let Dr. Bai and Medical Staff Member Sun go this time. It will be a way for you to make amends."

Bai Yunyun's heart skipped a beat when her name was called. She abandoned her usual haughty demeanor and shouted.

"Why? Why was this the election? I disagree! I want a reconsideration!"

Before she became a military doctor, her family repeatedly told her that if she encountered any danger, she should stay back, because someone would always step in.

Refugee camps have always been the most vulnerable to disease outbreaks, so she would never go to such a dangerous place.

Zhou Guangming sat in the chair, his hands clenched into fists in anger.

"Great, it would be best to call all your relatives who are officials over here, so we can discuss in person whether or not you should be the one to take this task."

"Political Commissar Zhou, you're bullying me."

"I protest! This is unfair! Why was I chosen when there are so many people in the infirmary?"

Seeing that Zhou Guangming was truly angry, Bai Yunyun changed her strategy, softening her voice and even sounding like she was crying, as if someone had bullied her and she had suffered a great injustice.

Lu Zhenghan remained silent, not because he wanted to favor Bai Yunyun or prevent her from going, but because he felt that Bai Yunyun and Sun Rong were completely unqualified.

Bai Yunyun herself is quite capable, but she is too selfish and lacks any sense of professionalism or hard work. How can someone like that be expected to provide proper medical care?

Needless to say, Sun Rong's skills are inadequate, and her character is also flawed. Even if someone like that offered to go, he might not agree.

"Bang!"

While Bai Yunyun was crying and making a fuss, Sun Rong became even more ruthless, rolling her eyes back and lying on the ground.

Even while lying down, his body kept twitching.

"Sun Rong, Sun Rong, what's wrong? Wake up!"

The infirmary staff all gathered around. Some slapped her face, while others pressed hard on her philtrum, but Sun Rong seemed to have fainted. Apart from occasional twitching, she showed no signs of waking up at all.

"That's strange, her pulse is normal, and she doesn't have a fever," one of them said after examining her.

"Take her back. That concludes today's meeting," Lu Zhenghan said directly, without even glancing at Sun Rong on the ground.

His face was fair and rosy, and there was nothing wrong with him during the examination. Even a layman could tell that he was faking it.

Xia Qiuran watched as the group of people all rushed out. After thinking for a moment, she went to Lu Zhenghan and Zhou Guangming.

They volunteered to go to the rescue station.

To be honest, she hadn't expected her colleagues at the medical clinic to be so opposed to working at the shelter.

When Zhou Guangming awarded the spot to Bai Yunyun and Sun Rong, she was slightly disappointed. This was a third-class merit award, something some people might not achieve even after a lifetime of military service.

It's just a little tough and tiring, but what job isn't tiring? Besides, you can wear protective clothing if there's danger, and just be more careful.

"Xia Qiuran. This job is not as simple as you think. The timeframe is uncertain. The relief station will not be disbanded until the disaster victims' houses are completely repaired."

Lu Zhenghan was also conflicted at this moment. No matter what difficulties there were, Xia Qiuran would always be the first to step up. They were a team, and it was very unfair to Xia Qiuran to always do this.

But at this point, he seemed to have no better choice. He could use his power to force those who were afraid of death and lacked a sense of responsibility to go, but the final result would not lie. If anything went wrong, it would be a matter of life and death.

He really didn't dare to gamble on that.

"I know, Commander. I'm not afraid. Even if it takes several years to build, I will definitely complete the mission." Xia Qiuran replied with great certainty.

Zhou Guangming sighed inwardly. Xia Qiuran's character was indeed impeccable; she was a true soldier. If it weren't for Nie Ru's situation, he really wanted to bring her and Lu Zhenghan together.

"Xia, I'm sorry you had to go through this, but the organization will never forget your contributions," Zhou Guangming said, looking at Xia Qiuran and emphasizing each word.

...

The news that Xia Qiuran had gone to the rescue station to work as a doctor spread quickly.

Upon hearing the news, Sun Rong immediately sat up in bed. Her heart felt better, her head was no longer dizzy, and she felt energetic enough to do anything.

He immediately returned to the infirmary to start working.

However, this incident also spread throughout the army about Bai Yunyun and Sun Rong's attempts to evade responsibility by retreating to the rear.

The people that soldiers in the barracks hate the most are those who shirk responsibility and avoid difficulties. Even though they are women, they cannot escape being looked down upon.

At that time, the clinic of the 45th Regiment was not large, and the process of seeing a doctor was not so complicated. Everyone sat in one big room, and patients could go to see whichever doctor was available.

When Xia Qiuran finished her work and returned to her seat, she found that there were several people in front of her.

Xia Qiuran quickly went over. Bai Yunyun and the others were all free at the moment, so why were they all queuing up here? Although Xia Qiuran was puzzled, she didn't ask any more questions and quickly went over to see a doctor.

Bai Yunyun sat in the best seat, but there wasn't a single patient at the table. She also had to listen to the noise of those people chirping at her from time to time. She was always the one scolding others; she had never been treated like this by anyone. The more she looked at it, the angrier she became. Was Xia Qiuran the only doctor? She was the one who graduated with a proper medical degree.

"Two of you in line, come over here and don't block the doorway," Bai Yunyun yelled at the people who came to see the doctor.

But the soldiers acted as if they hadn't heard anything, and not one of them moved.
