Chi Guihe and Su Niannian had already left, so Zhang Tao’s slow eating got him cornered by Wang Lulu.
Zhang Tao frowned, annoyed, "I’m just a doctor, why would I need all this glamor?"
Wang Lulu snorted coldly, "So you don’t want the glamor, but don’t you still want good learning and advancement opportunities? Today I remended Wang Weiwei to Senior Sister Xia. With her abilities, she might be able to lead some simple surgeries in a few days."
Hearing the words "simple surgeries," Zhang Tao’s expression visibly twisted.
It was unavoidable; lately, those three words had bee a nightmare for both him and Su Niannian.
Wang Lulu didn’t know what Zhang Tao had been through. Seeing her pained expression, she assumed Zhang Tao regretted hearing her and sighed, "It was such a great opportunity, and I wanted to offer it to you... but you didn’t cherish it... even though you’re tougher and more skilled than Wang Weiwei..."
Zhang Tao didn’t care to hear any more of her ramblings and quickly walked away.
Wang Lulu: ...
She coldly scoffed as she watched Zhang Tao’s obstinate figure walking away.
She couldn’t wait to see Zhang Tao e begging to her once Wang Weiwei got the opportunity to lead surgeries and improved her career prospects!

Back in the office, Su Niannian couldn’t help but look up at Zhang Tao, "You ate really slow, huh?"
Zhang Tao rubbed her temples, "Got held up by someone really annoying."
"Who?" Su Niannian asked curiously.
Zhang Tao glanced at Chi Guiyi, "Wang Lulu. An intern from the second department."
She knew Chi Guiyi and Wang Lulu were acquainted but didn’t elaborate, only briefly mentioned the cafeteria incident.
Su Niannian, unaware of the full story, laughed after hearing Zhang Tao, "Seriously, Xia Jinjin is impressive, what’s it to her? She’s so idle she had nothing to do all morning. Isn’t she worried about her own future at all?"
Normally, medical interns are busier than dogs; if she were that free, it could only mean that nobody really wanted to use her.
Zhang Tao didn’t respond.
She was normally reticent and not one to gossip about others.
Su Niannian, having been "tortured" these past few days and finally catching some gossip, couldn’t help but blurt a bit more.
Getting carried away, she even said to Sister Chi, "Sister Chi, in my opinion, you’re just too low-profile. Otherwise, why would we even be dealing with what’s-her-name Xia Jinjin!"
It was only then that Sister Chi slowly looked up from the documents on the table, her eyes calmly fixing on Su Niannian and Zhang Tao, "So, have you two finished your summaries? If you can’t turn them in this afternoon, prepare to work overtime."
Su Niannian, Zhang Tao: ...
They quickly took their seats and dejectedly began writing their summaries.

At nine in the evening.
Chi Gui followed the address sent by Lu You to arrive at the "Challenge Cup" petition registration point.
To prevent cheating or tampering by car owners, the organizers didn’t allow online registration; all racers had to drive to the venue, let the organizers inspect and register their cars before they could sign up.
However, the registration was located not far from the outskirts of Capital City, just about an hour from Kyoto City Hospital.
At the registration entrance, a red Ferrari quietly stood.
Seeing Chi Gui, the driver’s door of the Ferrari opened, and Xu Yan stepped out, respectfully handing her the keys, "Sister Chi, Brother Lu You wanted you to take a look. If there’s anything unsatisfactory about this car, we’ll adjust it immediately."
He gestured towards a large van parked not far away.
This type of vehicle was generally used by racing teams going to the race track, loaded with all sorts of parts, from tiny screws to large tires.
Chi Gui: ...
She was somewhat speechless, "I’m just going for a casual run..."
The fuss Lu You was making seemed like she was going to participate in an F1 race...
With the car being so conspicuous, nearly everyone ing to register glanced over.
