Chapter 717: 718 Chapter: Vice President Lin Su’er

The next day, Zhao Rui and Song Qing had class and happened to meet at the entrance of the hospital. Just after exchanging greetings, Song Qing exclaimed and then tightly grabbed Zhao Rui’s arm, stuttering without being able to speak.

"What are you doing? Why do you have that expression, did you see a ghost?" Zhao Rui’s arm hurt from being grabbed, and while trying to pry Song Qing’s hand off, she gritted her teeth and shouted.

"Lin Su’er, Lin Su’er!" Song Qing pointed and continued to shout.

Zhao Rui followed the direction of Song Qing’s finger and indeed saw Lin Su’er, and immediately scolded, "Didn’t Lin Su’er say she’d be coming to work at the hospital today? Is your reaction really necessary?"

"No, you didn’t see which car she got out of, did you?" Song Qing pointed again at a car approaching the two of them.

"Wow, a Bentley!" Zhao Rui’s eyes lit up, and then she opened her eyes wide, saying, "Are you saying... Lin Su’er came in a Bentley?"

"Yes, yes, I saw with my own eyes that she got out of this car. My heavens, Bentley cars start at five million at least. She actually came in a Bentley, that’s a lot of clout."

"I’m at a loss for words..." Zhao Rui didn’t know what to say.

They quickly caught up with Lin Su’er, unconsciously looking at her with eyes filled with awe.

Lin Su’er gave a wry smile and looked at them, saying, "What’s with those faces?"

Zhao Rui cracked a smile and whispered, "Lin Su’er, this is... cough, quite powerful of you, showing up to work in a Bentley."

"This..." Lin Su’er suddenly felt a bit awkward. That morning, the butler had simply arranged this car for her. She thought it was her first day of work and assumed no one would take notice, so she didn’t object. To her surprise, Zhao Rui and Song Qing still saw her.

Song Qing chuckled and said, "Lin Su’er, you’ve been keeping secrets from us."

Lin Su’er hurriedly replied, "I’m not keeping secrets from you. It’s just that some things can’t be said."

"Can’t be said? What can’t be said?" Zhao Rui and Song Qing were immediately fuelled by an intense fire of gossip.

Lin Su’er said, "It’s about Dongzi’s identity. Just know that the two of you are aware he’s not simple. From now on in the hospital, treat me like your classmate, your good friend, and please don’t look at me differently. I really consider you two my good friends."

"Oh my! His identity is a secret, he must be awfully impressive." Zhao Rui and Song Qing widened their eyes even more.

Lin Su’er pulled a face, saying, "Yes, yes."

Their curiosity was now through the roof, but since Lin Su’er had put it that way, they didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask further.

"Where’s... the director’s office?" After entering the hospital, Lin Su’er asked softly.

"The director’s office, you just got here and you’re going to the director’s office?" Zhao Rui was utterly confused.

Lin Su’er asked in confusion, "Aren’t we supposed to go to the director’s office?"

Song Qing said, "Normally, it should be the Human Resources Department, oh, I understand, your situation is different, you definitely need to visit the Director’s office."

The two escorted Lin Su’er to the elevator, told her the floor of the Director’s office, and then left.

Lin Su’er arrived at the Director’s office, where two people were already present, one was Director Qian, and the other was Su Tongda from the Su Family, who was in charge of the hospital. Lin Su’er’s job placement here, naturally, had to go through him.

"Madame, hello!" As soon as Su Tongda saw Lin Su’er enter, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her with considerable respect.

Director Qian had already learned the situation from Su Tongda, and although Song Xiaodong hoped the change of the Family Head wouldn’t draw attention, someone of Director Qian’s rank should be informed. Moreover, since Lin Su’er was coming to this hospital, it was even more necessary to mention it; otherwise, if Director Qian offended Lin Su’er, Su Tongda himself would be responsible.

"Madame, hello!" Director Qian also hurried over to greet her.

Lin Su’er blushed and stammered, "Please, don’t do this, I am just here to find something to do, you’re making me very uncomfortable."

Seeing Lin Su’er’s shy demeanor, Su Tongda and Director Qian both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as this suggested that the madame was not a difficult person to serve.

Su Tongda said in haste, "Yes, Madame, Director Qian and I have discussed it, and there happens to be a vacancy for a deputy director, so we would be honored if you would take on the role of deputy director."

"What?" Lin Su’er’s eyes widened in shock.

"Ah..." Su Tongda got a fright at Lin Su’er’s reaction, worried she was dissatisfied, and quickly explained, "This... because changing the director is a big deal and could cause a great disturbance in the hospital, so... I was thinking of letting you get familiar with it first, and then take over the director’s position."

"Pfft..." Lin Su’er covered her mouth and then waved her hands again and again, saying, "No, no, that’s not what I mean. I came here to be a nurse, how could I be a deputy director?"

This time, Su Tongda was even more frightened and said anxiously, "That would be absolutely inappropriate; with your esteemed status, how could you serve as a nurse attending to others? If the Family Head were to blame us, I could not bear it."

"This..."

Director Qian also quickly said, "Moreover, if word got out that the Madame Patriarch of the Su Family was only a nurse attending to others, it would dishonor our Su Family. This cannot happen; please, Madame, don’t make things difficult for us."

Seeing their attitude, Lin Su’er smiled bitterly and said, "But I really don’t know how to do any of it."

Director Qian immediately replied, "That’s easy to fix. I will arrange an assistant to coordinate your work so that it won’t be too tiring for you, Madame."

Lin Su’er’s lips twitched as she looked at the cautious and anxious expressions of Director Qian and Su Tongda, realizing that if she did not agree, they might even cry. She simply nodded and said, "Okay then."

Su Tongda and Director Qian immediately relaxed and smiles appeared on their faces. Su Tongda said, "I should not be involved in this matter to avoid causing a stir, so I’ll let Director Qian take Madame over. Please forgive me, Madame."

Lin Su’er replied in haste, "Sure, sure, go on with your work. Don’t cause any disturbance in the hospital. Now I’m somehow a deputy director, and I don’t even know what to say."

The pressure in Director Qian’s heart eased a bit more. He was afraid of someone with no knowledge coming in and calling the shots. Now it seemed that although Lin Su’er lacked experience, at least she appeared to be approachable and willing to discuss matters.

At this point, Lin Su’er’s own smile was strained. She had become a deputy director so suddenly; she really didn’t know if she could do a good job. If she couldn’t, she might cause trouble for Brother Dongzi. The pressure was not small.
