Chapter 742: I Understand Now

They all understood very well that, with Mr. Zhao’s status and influence, dealing with them, a group of doctors, would be a piece of cake!

Those among Doctor Niu’s colleagues who knew a bit about Xiao Yi sighed. They didn’t think Xiao Yi’s words would be of any use. Although Xiao Yi had a fairly close relationship with Chen Jianguo, compared to Mr. Zhao, the difference was far too great!

Xiao Yi looked at their expressions and knew they didn’t believe his words, but he didn’t say much more, just gave a light smile, then directly picked up the phone and began to search for a number before dialing it.

"Xiao Yi?"

On the other end of the call, Zhao Yuhua looked at the caller ID on her phone, a hint of surprise showing in her eyes. After a moment, she picked up the phone and pressed the answer button, her tone slightly uncertain as she softly called out.

"It’s me, Classmate Zhao, I hope I’m not disturbing you?"

Xiao Yi smiled.

Initially, this matter didn’t necessarily require contacting Zhao Yuhua, as he could have approached Mr. Ma, Elder An, Han Yuqi, even Chen Jianguo. However, he ultimately decided to call Zhao Yuhua.

After all, his relationship with Zhao Yuhua was still quite good. Having gone through a few incidents before, he considered her a friend. Since the person involved was from the Zhao Family, it seemed somewhat inappropriate to handle this through others. It could be awkward to explain to Zhao Yuhua later.

So, he thought no matter what, he should first speak with Zhao Yuhua, give her due respect, and if Zhao Yuhua couldn’t handle it, then he wouldn’t blame himself for directly offending Mr. Zhao.

Others might fear the Zhao family as the top family of G City, but Xiao Yi wasn’t afraid. He had already openly confronted the Li family, and if really pushed to that limit, he wouldn’t mind taking down the Zhao family too!

"No."

After recognizing Xiao Yi’s voice, Zhao Yuhua’s expression returned to her usual calmness; she just responded succinctly and didn’t ask why Xiao Yi had called. She knew that Xiao Yi would tell her.

"That’s good, Classmate Zhao. I’ve run into a troublesome issue, and I was hoping to ask for your help."

Xiao Yi remained unfazed by Zhao Yuhua’s cool demeanor. He was used to it by now and knew from previous encounters that while Zhao Yuhua’s exterior was cold, her heart was not as impassionate as she appeared.

Zhao Yuhua quietly listened on the other end, not responding immediately, but waiting for him to continue.

However, her brows furrowed slightly. Trusting her instincts, she felt that this was probably not a simple matter. Watching him closely over the past semester and from their interactions, she knew very well that although Xiao Yi appeared mild, he was a proud person just like her, perhaps even more so!

He would definitely not ask for help over trivial matters. Even if he had to, he would go to Fatty Tang from his class, but not to her.

Moreover, she was well aware of Xiao Yi’s capabilities. Ordinary matters were unlikely to challenge him.

"Here’s the situation..."

Although Zhao Yuhua hadn’t responded, Xiao Yi could feel her attentiveness and knew she was not a talkative person. Without further ado, he began directly explaining the situation.

"I understand now."

Having silently listened to Xiao Yi’s entire explanation, Zhao Yuhua’s expression finally relaxed, and she quietly spoke before abruptly hanging up.

After hanging up the phone, her brow slightly knitted, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes as she picked up the phone, looked up a number, and dialed.

"This..."

On the other end, Xiao Yi, hearing the dial tone, couldn’t help but show a bitter smile. Zhao Yuhua had been too hasty—she didn’t even let him say goodbye before abruptly ending the call.

However, after the call, he also let out a sigh of relief.

Although Zhao Yuhua hadn’t promised anything, having only said four words, he knew that the matter was unlikely to cause any problems now. Some people don’t need to make promises, yet their few words are more reassuring than many others’ lengthy reassurances. Zhao Yuhua was undoubtedly one of those people.

Listening to Xiao Yi making a phone call, seeing the calm and confident expression on Xiao Yi’s face, the surrounding doctors all felt a moment of astonishment, and their hearts couldn’t help but waver slightly. Could this young man really be sure of himself?

But such a thought was only a fleeting notion in their minds before they cast it aside. They had clearly heard him being addressed as Classmate Zhao. Obviously, he was on the phone with his classmate. What significant figure could his classmate be?

Not to mention his classmate, even if he were calling Chen Jianguo, it might not have any effect.

Realizing this, the doctors’ morale once again plummeted, their moods becoming extremely somber.

"Thud, thud!"

Just as everyone was enveloped in despair, a slow footsteps sounded from the office door, and a middle-aged man, looking to be about fifty, appeared at the doorway with the help of Mr. Liu.

The middle-aged man’s face looked somewhat weak and pale, clearly that of a patient, but his eyes still conveyed a commanding presence, and his body radiated an air of dignity.

Upon reaching the doorway, his gaze swept over the faces of Xiao Yi and the doctors, lingering slightly on Xiao Yi’s face before settling on the dean’s, his voice coldly saying, "Dean Chen, what do you mean?"

"Mr. Zhao, please let me explain..."

Facing the middle-aged man’s cold gaze, the color drained from the dean’s face of First Affiliated Hospital, and beads of sweat began to fall from his forehead as he eagerly tried to explain something. However, his words were directly interrupted by the middle-aged man.

"As the dean of the hospital, your duty is to save lives and provide help. I want to ask, when did I, Mr. Zhao, ever offend you to the point that you refuse to treat me?"

Mr. Zhao’s gaze grew colder, "If you are telling me you can’t manage the doctors here, then you don’t need to manage anymore. I will find someone who can."

"Mr. Zhao!"

Hearing Mr. Zhao’s words, Dean Chen’s figure seemed as if struck by lightning. Mr. Zhao’s statement was clearly indicating that he was about to lose his position. The shock was too much for him to bear, and his legs became weak. He barely managed to stabilize himself.

With a hint of pleading in his eyes, he looked at Mr. Zhao in hopes of garnering some sympathy, some compassion, another chance...

The doctors around them, seeing Dean Chen’s expression, all showed traces of grief on their faces, filled with fear, unsure of what their own outcomes would be.

Standing in front of Mr. Zhao, supporting him, Mr. Liu looked at the pallid faces of Dean Chen and the other doctors and their panic-stricken appearances, a smug and triumphant sneer appearing in the corner of his eye, feeling incredibly relieved inside!

You bastards, trying to mess with me, opposing me, I’ll show you what it means to oppose me!

Everyone who opposes me will definitely not end well!

"And you bunch of incompetent doctors!"

While these doctors were feeling lost and frightened, Mr. Zhao’s voice once again resonated, plunging their hearts directly into hell, "Since you don’t like being doctors, spending all day not thinking about curing diseases and saving lives but only about your own gains, then there’s no need for you to disgrace yourselves at this hospital anymore!"

Listening to Mr. Zhao’s words, all the doctors’ faces turned pale instantly. They knew that his words meant that their medical careers were effectively over, that they might never be able to work as doctors again. Yet, their hearts harbored not much sadness but more anger!

Calling them incompetent, accusing them of only thinking about their self-interest—his words were like a sharp sword stabbing directly into their hearts, making them clench their fists tightly. This was a direct negation of all their past efforts, a direct erasure of their honors! It was the greatest insult to them, an insult to their dignity!

Everyone has their own bottom line, and their proudest, most steadfast, and sacred things in their hearts!

For many years, these doctors hadn’t taken a day off or slacked for a day, and sometimes, despite being ill, they still went to work and saved countless patients. They understood that this was their profession, their choice, and they had indeed received some rewards for it, such as the banners of gratitude hanging in their office, an income slightly higher than many other professions, and the respect and gratitude of many cured patients...

But their hardships and bitterness far outweighed their rewards!

Their perseverance lay in their love for their profession and a sense of professional ethics...

And now, this man had negated and erased everything with a single statement, how could they not feel angry and indignant?
