Chapter 268: Chapter 267: Balancing of Interests_1

"Dr. Yan, nice to meet you!"

The friendly greeting took me by surprise.

Yan Ling was startled, then extended her hand and said coolly, "Nice to meet you."

Upon uttering those words, she wasn’t sure what else to say, and a slightly awkward silence fell between them.

At that moment, General Manager Chen approached rapidly, looking at Yan Ling with a pleading expression. He specially said, "Dr. Yan, please, help me convince Avril. I didn’t say her medical skills were inadequate. I only meant her skills were somewhat inferior compared to yours."

Yan Ling:...

How did someone so socially clumsy like General Manager Chen manage to become a director?

If he continued speaking, he’d most definitely offend others.

Even talking about retaining people, he was pushing them away instead!

Yan Ling really didn’t want to deal with this mess.

But seeing General Manager Chen’s pitiful look, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

She sighed silently.

Well, considering General Manager Chen had shared information with her, she’d help him just this one time!

Yan Ling: "General Manager Chen, you go and placate Professor Zheng first. May I have a word with Miss Avril?"

Upon seeing her agree to help him, General Manager Chen was immediately all smiles and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

Once General Manager Chen entered the recording studio, Yan Ling turned her gaze to Avril and said in a calm tone, "I heard Miss Avril received the Nightingale Award at just 22. It must have been difficult to win such an award. Abroad, there’s plenty of bias against us Chinese in the medical field. You were also very young at the time, I heard you must have received a lot of criticism, didn’t you?"

These words struck a chord with Avril.

Over the years, she had been pursuing fame and fortune and had gradually forgotten her initial aspirations.

However, that wasn’t without reason.

The reason she managed to win the Nightingale Award abroad was because she disregarded her own safety, nursed and healed thousands amidst the gunfire in a war-torn African country.

But those who came from better backgrounds dismissed her efforts with a casual word.

They believed she didn’t deserve the award.

They thought she did not win the award based on her abilities, but by trading her body.

They claimed she had hooked up with the members of the Red Cross International Committee to gain this opportunity.

Such insults and slander had kept her head down for a long time; she wanted to retort.

But those people never gave her a chance to speak out.

Because of this, after living abroad for many years, she couldn’t stand it any longer and chose to return to China for her career development.

In order to avoid a repeat of a tarnished reputation, she spent these years navigating between power and profit.

She tried to keep the right to speak in her own hands.

She got what she wanted, but she didn’t feel happy.

Because she had gradually even forgotten what she once prided herself on.

Once, she wanted to be someone like Nightingale, someone who could use her small strength to bind, help, and relieve people suffering from wounds and diseases.

But now, her heart was only filled with the balance of vanity and profit.

Avril suddenly felt that this kind of life seemed meaningless.

Looking up at the exceptionally beautiful girl who hadn’t noticed her own allure, Avril asked, "Dr. Yan, I heard not long ago, you insisted on rescuing an old man, which led to netizens outrageously criticizing you. They even dug up many embarrassing parts of your past. If the Qi Corporation and Hongya Hospital hadn’t vouched for you, your career might have ended. If it really came to that, would you have regretted it?"

Yan Ling firmly and without hesitation replied, "No!"
