Chapter 800: Chapter 802: Sches and Conspiracies
“You…, the words that the vice-president asked to convey, I’ve conveyed them. Go or not, it’s up to you.” Having said that, he turned and left the pharmacy.
Xiao Yifei gave a faint smile, took the Chinese dicine in hand, and walked out of the pharmacy, intending to deliver it to the ward.
“Xiao Yifei, wait a mont.” Just as Xiao Yifei stepped out, he was stopped by Zheng Peng’s brother, Zheng Qiang.
“Hmm?” Xiao Yifei frowned as he looked at him; because of guilt by association, he also didn’t have a good impression of Zheng Qiang.
“This morning I saw Director Sun instructing my brother about sothing. This dicine was prepared by him, and there might be sothing wrong with it. I don’t want him to make a mistake, nor do I want anything to happen to the patients, so I thought I should let you know.” The man, who Xiao Yifei had thought to be sowhat introverted, now looked at Xiao Yifei with an open and candid gaze.
“Thanks, Brother Qiang.” Xiao Yifei’s impression of him greatly improved because of this. Both are brothers, yet how can there be such a big difference? Xiao Yifei shook his head and walked out of the pharmacy.
Xiao Yifei entered the adjoining departnt and opened each package of dicine. He grabbed a handful and sniffed it, quickly detecting sothing unusual. Each prescription contained an extra type of herb that wasn’t very harmful but could induce diarrhea. A patient or two might safely suffer diarrhea, but if several wards had issues, it would be all too easy for Sun Xingyao to cast the bla on others.
As he thought this, Xiao Yifei’s eyes narrowed, and his gaze flickered.
Xiao Yifei returned to the pharmacy and sat down on a chair, secretly mulling things over: Since you have shown no loyalty, don’t bla for being ruthless. My repeated concessions have only emboldened you to take even more liberties. Well, let’s just wait and see, Director Sun. That’s when he planned to teach Zheng Peng a lesson.
But then he rembered that Zheng Peng was Zheng Qiang’s brother, and if it weren’t for Zheng Qiang’s kind warning, he might have already been in a lot of trouble by now. Besides, Zheng Peng didn’t seem inherently bad, although sowhat crafty, he probably couldn’t cause much of an uproar.
So Xiao Yifei filled a small bag with a white, finely powdered substance and walked towards Zheng Peng’s desk, thinking, “This ti, for your brother’s sake, I’ll just give you a small lesson. But if there’s a next ti, I won’t let you off so easily.” With that thought, he poured the white powdery substance into Zheng Peng’s water cup on the desk.
From a distance, he could hear Zheng Peng and Sun Xingyao chatting and laughing. What they were saying wasn’t very clear, but he vaguely heard Sun Xingyao saying to Zheng Peng in the end, “I’ll treat you to a al after this is done.” Then a face full of smiles belonging to Zheng Peng ca into Xiao Yifei’s view.
A al after things are settled, Xiao Yifei didn’t need to guess to know what it was about. He admitted that the first ti he made Sun Xingyao embarrass himself in front of so many people was his fault, but Xiao Yifei had no other intention at the ti. Being a doctor, of course, saving lives was the priority, and he didn’t think of anything else.
But who would have thought that just because of that incident, the two had beco adversaries. Although he had no desire to entangle with the other party, the continued provocations, ti and again, would be too much for anyone to bear. Moreover, when it ca down to it, it was all due to Sun Xingyao’s insufficient skills.
Zheng Peng approached Xiao Yifei and said, “Doctor Xiao, what are you thinking about? Did you encounter sothing troubleso at work? Share it, and perhaps I can help.” Zheng Peng’s words sounded considerate, but his face still wore a barely concealed expression of schadenfreude.
Upon seeing Zheng Peng in such a state, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but feel disgust, with undisguised contempt and disdain in his eyes. His tone of voice was far from pleasant as he said, “I appreciate Dr. Zheng’s concern, but I don’t need you to worry about my affairs. Instead, why don’t you take good care of your own work?”
Zheng Peng also caught the look of loathing in Xiao Yifei’s eyes and turned back to his seat, picking up the cup on his desk and gulping down the water. Xiao Yifei watched him empty the cup in a few seconds and a faint, barely noticeable smile appeared on his lips.
Gathering his things, Xiao Yifei was about to head to the cafeteria for a al when he saw a young nurse walk in. At first glance, Xiao Yifei thought it was Shi Miaomiao. The young nurse looked very much like Shi Miaomiao, both resembling adorable little dolls straight out of an animation.
The nurse timidly approached Xiao Yifei and placed a piece of paper in front of him, saying softly, “Dr. Xiao, this is from Director Qian. The hospital has specially approved an office for you. You just need to sign this paper and leave the rest to . Once the office is ready, I’ll notify you.”
After speaking, the nurse stood there quietly waiting for Xiao Yifei to sign. Seeing the girl look so pitiable, his mischievous side erged, and he couldn’t resist teasing her, “Little sister, you’re quite pretty, why choose to be a nurse?”
Before she had a chance to respond, Xiao Yifei said, “Haven’t had lunch yet, have you? How about we go together?” With that, he grabbed the young woman’s arm and started towards the door, and during this, she didn’t say a word. Xiao Yifei thought she must be shy around soone as handso as himself.
After they had finished their al, the two headed back to the office together. The whole way, it was Xiao Yifei who did the talking. He began with the girls he bullied in kindergarten, right up to how two girls fought over him in high school. Xiao Yifei wore a face of pride, his expression like that of a primary school student hoping for praise from his parents after scoring full marks on a test.
The young nurse looked at Xiao Yifei, who was boasting non-stop, and suddenly found him not so intimidating after all, and perhaps even a tad cute. Staring at Xiao Yifei, she began to daydream.
Xiao Yifei felt a bit embarrassed under the nurse’s gaze and changed the subject, “Do I really look that good? Feel free to take a few more glances if you like. You weren’t like this before.” It was then that the nurse ca back to her senses and, blushing, said, “Who says I think you’re handso? It’s just after hearing all about your gleaming deeds that I realized you’re not that scary.”
Xiao Yifei’s face was striated with confusion as he asked, “Scary? Where did you hear that I was scary? I’ve only been at this hospital a few days, how could I have left such a bad impression? If we’re talking about scary, it should be Tang Rong who’s more frightening.” Xiao Yifei cried foul in his heart.
“If that’s the way it is, then let introduce you to what’s really scary.” Saying this, he pulled the nurse toward the direction of the pharmacy. anwhile, the nurse was brimming with annoyance and regret, thinking how she had carelessly misspoken. She had already seen Xiao Yifei’s fearso side when he had fought with Sun Xingyao and Zheng Peng. Why had she blundered into this confrontation?
Entering the office, there was Zheng Peng, face twisted in pain, prostrate over the desk. Judging by the expression on his face, it seed the fellow had been suffering for quite a while, indicating that his stomach and intestines must have issues; otherwise, the dication wouldn’t have taken effect so swiftly.
Despite everything, Xiao Yifei felt a pang of compassion upon seeing this. Even though this man had malicious intentions and had tried to harm him, as a doctor, it was wrong to resort to such dishonorable thods.
Hence, Xiao Yifei stepped forward, offering the antidote he had picked up with the laxatives earlier, and said to Zheng Peng, “This is the antidote for diarrhea, ten grams of each. Take them, and you’ll be better in an hour.” Zheng Peng seed to struggle to grasp the situation and hesitated about whether to take the dication.
