Chapter 263 Let's Settle the Accounts
On an early autumn afternoon, sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows that sway gently in the breeze.
An Xiaoyue sat in Director Ma's office, staring blankly at the pattern formed by sunlight on her forearm.
Director Ma's voice was incessant, recounting her "great achievements" and offering earnest guidance on life.
“Xiaoyue, as you know, you and Dr. Shen don’t get along. After I found out, I immediately changed your mentor to Dr. Luo. During this time, I saw that you have learned a lot from Dr. Luo. How could you sue our emergency department and Dr. Shen Fengmei in court over such a trivial matter?”
"Look how good I am to you, and you still sued us. You're so disobedient. You're still young. If you keep going like this, you'll suffer a lot."
"Listen to Director Ma, hurry up and withdraw that lawsuit. Let's pretend nothing happened. This will also give Dean Wang an explanation to the hospital and ensure your internship goes smoothly."
An Xiaoyue sneered inwardly. Listen to what they're saying, how considerate they are, worrying that her internship won't go smoothly.
They knew better than anyone else that what they had done to her was wrong.
Just because she knew someone from the Chu family, they assumed she was using Grandma Chu's affair to get revenge on them.
These people act like they're taking it personally, like they have a guilty conscience.
An Xiaoyue flipped her hand over, curled her fingers, and grasped the warmth in her palm.
She looked up, her expression serene.
"Director Ma, the person who wants to report the emergency department is not me, but Madam Chu's family members, Chu Jinhuai and Chu Xiao."
An Xiaoyue's voice was clear and cold, flowing calmly like a gentle stream, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"Isn't it all the same?" Director Ma said with a forced smile. "The Chu family and the Fu family have a relationship. Don't you call Chu Jinhuai 'Uncle Chu'? Who knows if you two are suing together?"
An Xiaoyue remained silent.
Director Ma doesn't believe it; that's Director Ma's problem.
She has already made her meaning very clear and doesn't want to repeat it.
Seeing her arrogant demeanor, Director Ma and Wang Zan exchanged a glance, then tacitly looked at Shen Fengmei, who remained silent and uninvolved.
Their faces instantly darkened.
This was a mess that Shen Fengmei herself had made. If no one had tried to persuade her, she would have been so carefree.
Receiving stern looks from her superiors, and knowing that she would lose her stable job if she didn't handle this matter well, Shen Fengmei reluctantly spoke up.
"An Xiaoyue, your internship in the emergency department is about to end. Why make the emergency department a mess and ruin the hospital's reputation? It's not good for anyone, is it?"
An Xiaoyue thought of that short video on the internet and was about to say, "Who exactly is ruining the hospital's reputation?"
But Shen Fengmei didn't give her a chance to speak.
"Besides, you're going to be interning at our hospital for so long. Aren't you afraid that the other departments will be less willing to take on such a troublesome intern after hearing that you've turned the emergency room upside down?"
She's a troublemaker?!
An Xiaoyue smiled silently.
She felt contempt; people really don't put themselves in others' shoes when their own interests aren't affected.
Now, when court staff come to inquire about Grandma Chu's situation, they become so enthusiastic, even worried about her future internship.
Is Shen Fengmei worried?
No, that's not it. Shen Fengmei was threatening me.
Threaten her, saying that if things escalate, she will be the one who suffers.
Shen Fengmei, you didn't remember any of the laws and regulations related to doctors when you were in college!
"I don't need to trouble Dr. Shen Fengmei with my internship. I believe there are many responsible doctors like Teacher Luo and Teacher Shen Jun."
Shen Fengmei was hit where it hurt by An Xiaoyue's words; what she hated most was being compared to Shen Jun. Her voice suddenly rose in anger.
"An Xiaoyue, don't be ungrateful. I'm talking to you nicely now because there's still room for negotiation. If we really go head-to-head, it's hard to say who will come out on top!"
Naive.
When things really come to a head, it's uncertain who will end up taking the blame and going to jail.
In so many social news stories, when has there ever been a report of a leader being arrested?
Aren't leaders usually punished with things like being expelled from the Party and dismissed from their posts?
The people who truly have a huge impact on life are not those like Shen Fengmei who do things.
Shen Fengmei, oh Shen Fengmei, confess and you will be treated leniently, resist and you will be punished severely.
An Xiaoyue certainly wouldn't tell Shen Fengmei these things. "I don't know who will suffer the loss. Let's wait and see."
Director Ma and Shen Fengmei have both tried to persuade her, using both soft and hard tactics, but An Xiaoyue remains unmoved.
Dean Wang Zan was so angry that he loosened his tie, took a deep breath, and wondered what to do.
Could it be that An Xiaoyue is also dissatisfied with her previous internship, and she wants everyone to apologize?
What a cruel heart! So vengeful.
But things have escalated so much that they can't be contained without withdrawing the lawsuit!
In order to withdraw the lawsuit, this face has to be risked.
Wang Zan, with a smug grin, said:
"Xiaoyue, the reason we didn't accept you for the internship at the beginning was because we thought you were too precious to be criticized or scolded if you made a mistake, so we didn't dare to accept you."
He wasn't entirely without good intentions; when An Xiaoyue didn't have a place to intern, it was he, as the dean, who took her in.
Now it's time for An Xiaoyue to repay him. He's reminding An Xiaoyue that one should never be ungrateful.
"I see that you are doing very well in your internship here. I was thinking that it was a good thing we accepted you back then, otherwise such a good medical student would have nowhere to intern."
Wang Zan didn't mention the internship, and An Xiaoyue had almost forgotten about it.
Back then, if it weren't for her uncle's phone call, her internship would have been canceled.
Hmph~ Let's settle the score together today.
An Xiaoyue straightened her perfectly wrinkle-free trousers and sat up straight.
"Dean Wang, regarding the internship, I am a medical student in the eight-year integrated undergraduate-master-doctoral program at Beijing Medical College. I have the right to enjoy the learning and experience-accumulating opportunities provided by our department's partner institutions."
"You probably know better than I what kind of hospital Beijing First People's Hospital is. You sit in the position of president to serve the medical and health system and to serve the health of the people."
"Your reasons for refusing are untenable and constitute an abuse of power, depriving me of my right to learn."
Wang Zan was stunned. In his more than 30 years of work, he had never seen such a sharp and imposing aura in an intern or a young person.
In a daze, An Xiaoyue's face seemed to transform into Minister Leng's solemn and intimidating expression, each word piercing his heart, leaving him speechless.
An Xiaoyue raised her wrist, and on her slender, fair wrist was a ceramic white sports watch.
“I have recorded everything you said. If it really comes down to my internship, I think a letter of complaint should be enough to get me the opportunity I deserve. Even if my internship ends here, the Health Bureau and the Education Bureau will definitely arrange a new internship for me.”
Director Ma looked at the recording on An Xiaoyue's watch and his vision went black. It was all over. Her retirement savings of tens of thousands of yuan were gone.
When it came to the complaint, Wang Zan couldn't care less about anything else; his career couldn't be ruined by An Xiaoyue.
"An Xiaoyue, don't be ungrateful."
As Wang Zan was speaking, he immediately tried to snatch An Xiaoyue's watch.
