19: Chapter 19 Arrogant and Domineering 19: Chapter 19 Arrogant and Domineering “What are you doing just sitting there?
Did we bring you to the ergency departnt just to slack off and doze off?”
Xiao Yifei, who was squinting at his desk, glanced sideways at Zhou Yuan, who was looking at him with a furious face, and couldn’t help but snicker, “If I rember correctly, shouldn’t you be the one on duty right now, according to the schedule?
Why aren’t you working properly and instead just staring at ?”
“I ca back to have a drink and saw you slacking off!
Let tell you, Xiao Yifei!
The ergency departnt isn’t a place for you to idle your days away!
If you keep lazing around like this, I’m going to report it to Director Chen!
Our ergency departnt doesn’t need soone who’s just waiting to die!”
Zhou Yuan berated Xiao Yifei furiously.
In the ergency room, before Xiao Yifei arrived, Zhou Yuan had been the lone young doctor.
Director Chen Xusheng had been quite protective of Zhou Yuan, who, being narrow-minded, felt that the ergency departnt was his turf.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yifei was suddenly parachuted into the ergency departnt, which gave Zhou Yuan an instant feeling of crisis, and Nangong Yun’s obvious favoritism towards Xiao Yifei added to Zhou Yuan’s jealousy.
However, Xiao Yifei’s performance at the seminar made Zhou Yuan think of him as an easy target.
Xiao Yifei’s listless and indifferent deanor at the seminar made Zhou Yuan contemptuous of him, so in Zhou Yuan’s mind, Xiao Yifei was soone he could bully at will.
In front of Xiao Yifei, Zhou Yuan felt he could be vindictive.
“Is sothing wrong with your head?
It’s my first day here; what do you expect to do?
Why aren’t you doing your duty and instead babbling at ?”
Xiao Yifei responded with furrowed brows.
“So what if it’s the first day?
What about the first day?
If you don’t know what to do, can’t you sweep the floor or wipe the table?
Just waiting around to die and still so full of excuses?”
Zhou Yuan hadn’t expected Xiao Yifei to talk back, and that made him even angrier—so angry that he was shaking.
Without another word, Xiao Yifei simply squinted his eyes and started to rest, completely ignoring Zhou Yuan.
“You!
You!
You just wait…”
Zhou Yuan pointed at Xiao Yifei, too angry to speak.
“Ring ring ring…”
The office phone suddenly rang piercingly.
The lethargic Xiao Yifei’s eyes snapped open, and a sharp light flashed through them.
Generally speaking, the office phone wouldn’t ring unless it was an ergency.
Its ringing ant there was a patient in critical condition!
“Hello, ergency room!”
Xiao Yifei, who picked up the phone, seed to transform into a different person; his lethargy vanished, replaced by a confident, energized Xiao Yifei.
“Where is the doctor on duty?
Please co to the resuscitation room imdiately.
We have a critically ill patient!”
Wu Rui spoke sowhat anxiously on the phone.
The person brought in by the ambulance was covered in blood, eyes rolled back, hands reaching unconsciously towards the sky, body convulsing nonstop!
The situation looked extrely urgent, yet at such a critical mont, there was no doctor on duty in the consultation room.
Even though she was just a junior nurse, Wu Rui was also quite angry.
“Alright, I’ll be right there!”
Xiao Yifei swiftly hung up the phone, grabbed his white coat from the hanger, and dashed towards the ergency room.
“Hey you!” Zhou Yuan, completely ignored by Xiao Yifei, watched him leave, dumbfounded, and then hurriedly followed him.
“What’s going on!
The patient’s already rolling their eyes back, and there’s not a single doctor in the duty room!”
Wu Rui, a standard southern belle, petite and pretty, was especially caring towards her patients as a nurse.
Annoyed that there was no doctor in the duty room and worried about delaying treatnt, her pretty little face puffed up adorably in anger.
Seeing a tall, handso new doctor she had never t before approaching her, Wu Rui couldn’t help but voice a few complaints, and then she saw the tall, handso new doctor give her an apologetic smile.
The warm eyes of the handso new doctor made Wu Rui’s cheeks suddenly flush with warmth, and her heartful of complaints vanished.
She knew that this new doctor’s last na was Xiao, and his reputation wasn’t the best, but she couldn’t help feeling a sense of fondness for this new, handso doctor.
“Talk about the situation.”
As they walked, Xiao Yifei inquired about the case.
“The patient is a female.
According to her family, she was in a car accident on the way ho.
Besides so visible injuries on her body, her head received a heavy blow.
She’s a bit out of it right now.”
With just a few words, Wu Rui provided a clear account of the patient’s condition.
Xiao Yifei listened silently, then looked up at the sign reading ‘Ergency Room.’ He took a deep breath, put on his mask, and pushed open the door to enter.
After entering, Xiao Yifei imdiately spotted the patient because, among the other quiet patients, she was the most agitated.
Covered in blood, the restless patient was flailing her arms, shouting incoherently, her eyes rolling back in her head, always trying to get up but unable to, foam appearing at her mouth.
Just as Xiao Yifei was observing the patient, Zhou Yuan also entered, and seeing Xiao Yifei standing by the critically ill patient, she rushed forward with the speed of an arrow.
“What’s going on!”
An anxious Zhou Yuan first pulled Xiao Yifei aside and then, with furrowed brows and an unfriendly tone, demanded, “What’s happening here?
I’m the duty doctor today.
How co no one called when a patient in such a critical condition arrived!”
Wu Rui pouted, feeling a bit wronged, but she knew Doctor Zhou Yuan was used to throwing her weight around in the ergency departnt, so it was best not to offend her.
Holding back her resentnt, Wu Rui once again explained the situation to Zhou Yuan.
Then, with watery, big eyes, she glanced at Xiao Yifei; this new doctor was not only good-natured but also handso!
“The patient definitely has internal bleeding in the skull!
Take her to the CT room for a scan to assess the injury.”
Zhou Yuan quickly assessed the patient’s situation, then gestured to the patient’s family to take her for a brain CT scan.
Afterward, she turned to Wu Rui and ordered, “Contact neurology, get soone down here to see if surgery is needed!”
“Oh, okay.”
Wu Rui responded in a muted voice.
After hastily directing the actions, Zhou Yuan felt a sense of control as she watched the patient’s family push the gurney toward the CT room.
That’s when her eyes fell on Xiao Yifei, who stood to the side, deep in thought.
“You, what are you doing?
The patient is in such a state, and you’re just standing there dumbly.
Go prepare for the patient’s routine checks like blood sugar, and be quick about it!” Zhou Yuan commanded imperiously.
Xiao Yifei raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yuan, with a smile that was not quite a smile.
He ignored her; routine checks like blood sugar were done by the nurses and had nothing to do with Xiao Yifei!
Seeing that Xiao Yifei hadn’t moved, Zhou Yuan’s anger flared up instantly, “You do what I say!
Thinking of slacking off?
Dream on!”
The discord in the ergency room quickly drew everyone’s attention.
Many people knew Zhou Yuan was not easy to provoke.
On the contrary, they were not familiar with the new doctor, Xiao Yifei, and did not have high hopes for him confronting Zhou Yuan.
Wang Xiu, who usually got along with Zhou Yuan and truly looked down on Xiao Yifei’s seemingly inactive deanor, sneered at him, “Newcors should follow the rules for newcors.
You’d better do whatever Doctor Zhou asks.”
After finishing her call, Wu Rui returned and overheard Wang Xiu’s words.
She felt indignant, her small chest heaving.
Despite her petite stature, Wu Rui was by no ans ek, “Who says newcors have to stick to newcor rules?
Doctor Xiao is not an intern, is he?
Besides, Doctor Xiao was about to do sothing just now; he wasn’t doing nothing!”
Wang Xiu’s brows furrowed.
She and Wu Rui did not always get along, but she didn’t expect Wu Rui to confront her head-on over this matter.
“How are you speaking?
Doctor Zhou is still here!
Are you suggesting that Doctor Zhou is not allowing the new doctor to work?” Wang Xiu’s face changed, her eyes coldly fixed on Wu Rui and Xiao Yifei.
Seeing that Wang Xiu was trying to drag Zhou Yuan into their argunt, Wu Rui’s tolerance reached its limit.
She stood her ground, her beautiful eyes staring straight back at Wang Xiu, “That’s not what I ant at all!”
