Chapter 1041: Xu Shu Takes Action

“Him,” the director’s face showed no displeasure, only helplessness, “he’s the only one who dares to do this.”

“The favored one, huh?

I can understand.

Xiao Xu is indeed admirable in medicine; his professionalism is solid.

Besides, whenever someone wants to swap shifts, they turn to Xiao Xu, and he always helps.

He’s definitely tired, so if he doesn’t come to such meetings, then let it be.”

“How old is he again?” The director estimated, “Twenty-eight, twenty-nine?

Still single?”

“How come you’ve switched from business to his personal affairs?

Still haven’t given up on having him as your son-in-law?” The deputy director teased.

The director’s intentions, like the heart of Sima Zhao, were evident, but he had never pressured Xu Shu, and more often, he appreciated the younger generation.

Even such jokes were easy for him to digest, as he waved his hand to stop.

As they were speaking, Doctor Tan pushed the door open and came in.

He had just sat down when many doctors surrounded him speaking.

“We’ve all heard about it.

Xiao Ye is really out of line.

Old Tan, you’ve been wronged.”

Doctor Tan smiled, “What wrong?

She’s just a kid.

At most, she’s just making a fuss.

I couldn’t possibly take her seriously.”

“How many have you mentored?

You were nice to Xiao Ye back then, and now she’s clinging to you.

What kind of situation is this?

It’s good that she’s gone.

Young people, they’re impatient and haven’t entered society.

They skip learning the good and pick up dirty tricks.

It’s a shame I thought she was quite good back then.

You can know someone by their face but not by their heart.”

Doctor Tan listened to them, rarely interrupting, smiling on the surface, but with a faint arrogance in his eyes, his posture straighter than usual.

As if he had won a battle.

The only one silent was the middle-aged female doctor who had once mentored Ye Wanting.

She stayed quiet while others criticized Ye Wanting, several times opening her mouth but failing to speak, only casting an impatient glance that silenced those close to her.

She scrutinized Doctor Tan several times, a cold snort in her heart, quite disdainful.

The young doctors didn’t know she and Doctor Tan were from the same class.

When they were interns, he was once convicted for harassing a colleague, which he managed to hush using connections, later marrying the former director’s daughter and thriving in the hospital.

Some medical skills, but not exceptional.

Yet he acts so entitled?

“Alright, everyone is here.

Let’s get straight to the point, briefly recap.

After the meeting, Doctor Hu, stay back, bring your interns, and join me for rounds in the cardiology department.

Additionally…”

The door was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in.

The director looked up, “Xiao Xu, weren’t you not coming?”

Xu Shu nodded politely at the director, said nothing, and walked straight to Doctor Tan, throwing a document onto the table.

The corner of the kraft paper bag just hit the tea saucer, causing the teacup to spill.

Doctor Tan quickly reached to secure it, spilling quite a bit of leaves on his hand.

He moved the document aside a bit and said:

“Xiao Xu, what’s your problem?

Why the temper?”

“Doctor Xu, luckily the tea wasn’t hot, or Doctor Tan’s hand would be burned, and he has a surgery to perform today.” Another doctor chimed in.

Xu Shu let out a cold snort, “I’m afraid Doctor Tan won’t be performing that surgery.”

Doctor Tan’s eyes twitched, “Xiao Xu, what are you talking about?”

Xu Shu gave him a heavy stare, his straight eye corners cut into his expressionless, handsome face, and when he stared at people like this, there was an inexplicable chill penetrating to the bone.
