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

After Xia Qiuran got off work, Bai Xia didn't rest. During the day, she secretly informed Li Zhou's family about changing doctors. After get off work, a group of family members blocked Gao Yingting in the office.

They felt that the hospital was just giving them a perfunctory job by replacing them with a different intern.

"Calm down and listen to me. Although Xia Qiuran is an intern, her medical skills are excellent. After she gave Li Zhou acupuncture today, Li Zhou's condition has improved significantly."

Kao Ying-ting patiently explained to Li Zhou's family.

"My husband's condition has improved. Is that because Director Bai used his exclusive traditional Chinese medicine formula on him? What's the connection between that and that intern?"

"Dean Gao, we paid real money for our treatment at the hospital, you can't treat us like this."

Li Zhou's wife and son still didn't believe it, and instead became increasingly agitated, believing that the hospital hadn't been able to cure him after so long, and they didn't want to waste any more good medical resources on Li Zhou.

"I'm not targeting you. If you come to our hospital and can't get better, our hospital will also lose face. So my thoughts are the same as yours; we all hope that the patients recover as soon as possible and are discharged from the hospital early," Gao Yingting continued to explain.

Li Zhou's son, however, said with a disdainful look, "Dean Gao, you don't need to use these nice words to fob us off. We've all heard that the intern is using her looks to seduce men everywhere. Even the commander of the 45th Regiment was bewitched by her. We really can't trust someone like that. Please replace her with our original Director Bai."

Gao Yingting was completely baffled. He had tried to bring the two together before but had failed. How could such a rumor have surfaced now?

"Where did you hear these rumors?"

"Dean Gao, nothing stays hidden forever. If you don't switch us back to our original doctors, we'll have no choice but to transfer to another hospital. And while you're at it, please give a good shout-out to the newspaper where I work about your hospital's medical ethics and conduct."

Li Zhou's son was adamant in his attitude, and his words even carried a threatening tone.

If we're being really serious, Xia Qiuran, as an intern, certainly doesn't have the qualifications to treat patients on her own.

In the end, Gao Yingting had no choice but to agree to the patient's family's request.

...

The next day, Xia Qiuran came to work as usual.

As Gao Yingting said yesterday, she came to check on Li Zhou's physical condition first thing in the morning.

Li Zhou's family surrounded her tightly, not allowing Xia Qiuran to even see her, and their attitude towards her was sarcastic and mocking.

Xia Qiuran had no choice but to go back first.

Most of the people in the office are seasoned veterans who have been in the workplace for many years and know best how to fawn over the powerful and bully the weak.

Upon learning that Xia Qiuran had offended Bai Xia and that rumors were flying everywhere, they immediately changed their demeanor.

As soon as Xia Qiuran entered the room, she could clearly sense an indescribable atmosphere.

It seemed as if they were hostile, resentful, and disgusted by her arrival.

Everything was fine yesterday, how did it turn out like this today?

But it doesn't matter. She's here to work, not to make friends. If we get along, we can get along well; if not, we can each do our own work.

Xia Qiuran didn't think much of it and sat back down in her seat.

"Xia, I heard you did quite well in the 45th Regiment. You were initially assigned to the mess hall, then transferred to the infirmary after a few days, and soon after, you were promoted to a permanent position. We really admire your speed of promotion." As soon as I sat down, my colleague at the next workstation sneered sarcastically.

"That's right, I heard that Xia also sells plasters on the side. Yesterday she brought us some dried hawthorns that she picked herself. Isn't that too stingy? Why don't you treat us to soda today and buy each of us a skewer of cream ice cream?"

After she finished speaking, Wu Xue, who always followed Bai Xia around like a lackey, quickly chimed in.

Creamy ice cream and soda are her favorite foods, but her current job is just a doctor's assistant. After paying for food and raising her child, she barely has any money left each month. Now that she has this opportunity, she's going to try and extort Xia Qiuran.

"Dr. Wu, you make it sound so easy. There are more than 20 people in our department. If each person gets a bottle of soda and a skewer of cream ice cream, it costs more than 20 yuan. That's my monthly salary," Xia Qiuran said casually, glancing at him.

"So what? Dr. Xia, you're not so stingy as to not even part with this little bit of money, are you? That would be too miserly," Wu Xue said with a cold laugh.

Xia Qiuran did not show any extra expression on her face.

"My family is poor, and I send all the money I earn back to my hometown. Dr. Wu, you sound like your family is quite well-off. Why don't you treat everyone to soda and ice cream? It's only 20 yuan, which is nothing to you."

It is said that sincerity is a sure-fire way to win. Xia Qiuran directly admitted that her family was very poor, cutting off Wu Xue's next words and shifting the blame onto her.

Wu Xue gripped the pen tightly in her hand, her face contorted with anger.

"Hmph, who do you think you are? Why should I invite you?"

"I'm new here, so it's fine if you don't invite me. Everyone here is a long-time employee, so you can't go wrong by inviting them."

"Dr. Wu, we've been colleagues for so long, you can't even bear to part with 20 yuan, can you?"

Xia Qiuran deliberately raised her voice when she said this, and everyone in the office turned to look at Wu Xue.

It seemed everyone was waiting for Wu Xue's answer.

"you…"

Wu Xue blushed with anxiety. Her husband was just an ordinary factory worker with a bad temper. He was usually reluctant to buy her soda and ice cream. If he knew that she had treated so many people to ice cream and soda, he would beat her to death when they got back.

"What an ignorant country bumpkin! He gets so scared just from buying some soda and ice cream."

Wu Xue thought for a moment. She didn't want to treat everyone to food, but she also didn't want people to see through her predicament, so she changed the subject and started scolding Xia Qiuran.

"Yes, I'm just naive and haven't seen much of the world, otherwise how would I have met you?" Xia Qiuran scoffed lightly.

Wu Xue was so choked up that she couldn't speak for a long time.

"Dr. Xia, the hospital director wants to see you."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a greeting came from the doorway, and Xia Qiuran quickly went over.

Upon knocking and entering, Gao Yingting first lowered his head and adjusted his glasses before speaking after a moment of silence.

"Xia, let's leave yesterday's patient to Director Bai for treatment."

"Dean Gao, what happened?" Seeing Gao Yingting's expression, Xia Qiuran quickly asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that according to hospital regulations, as an intern, you don't yet have the authority to see patients alone." Gao Yingting frowned, looking troubled.

Seeing Gao Yingting's predicament, Xia Qiuran did not press further, but she couldn't bear to see an innocent patient being delayed.

"Dean Gao, I can choose not to see the patient, but Director Bai's treatment method is indeed incorrect. I can tell you the correct treatment method. In any case, please don't delay the patient's condition."

Before Gao Yingting could answer, Bai Xia stormed in.

From the moment Xia Qiuran entered the office, she had been waiting at the door, just to see Xia Qiuran's discomfiture. She never expected that even after things had come to this, Xia Qiuran would still be able to put on such a show.
