Chapter 2546: Chapter 2325: Using Me as a Shield (Part 6)
"Chen Xue, I was wrong, I was momentarily confused, I will never dare again! I apologize to you! I’ll slap myself!" Li Jiachen knelt and walked to Chen Xue, raising his hand to slap himself.
Lu Yaobing and Chen Xue were unmoved.
"I was wrong! I deserve to die! I was wrong! I deserve to die!..." With each shout, Li Jiachen slapped himself.
"Get him out of here!" Director Wu said impatiently.
"Guards!" Dean Liu called towards the door.
Several security guards from the security office came and dragged Li Jiachen out the door.
"Director Wang! Dean Liu! Director Wu! Chen Xue! I was wrong! Please let me go! I’ll never dare again..." Li Jiachen’s voice echoed in the corridor, growing smaller and further away.
"Chen Xue, I apologize for this incident, as the director of the health bureau, I also carry responsibility. I owe you an apology and need to self-reflect. The issue of medical ethics among doctors has always been a management challenge for the healthcare industry. This incident exposed this problem. Rest assured, I will strengthen supervision in this area to prevent such incidents from happening again!" Director Wu said solemnly to Chen Xue.
After all, Chen Xue was just a sophomore student, unaware of the matters Director Wu mentioned. Hearing Director Wu’s words, she was confused and responded with polite, mechanical nodding.
"Chen Xue, this incident happening today is also my responsibility as a dean. It was my negligence in management. Last night, Director Lin called me to request a change in your internship mentor. I thought you simply didn’t like Feng Huihui, but I didn’t expect there to be other reasons. This morning, because Director Wu was visiting for inspection, both I as dean and Wang Manshan as department director were preoccupied with receiving Dean Wu. The matter of changing your mentor was not communicated immediately, resulting in this unforeseen event. I deeply reflect on this; I never expected that such an incident could happen to a female student in the hospital, demonstrating my lack of vigilance." Dean Liu told Chen Xue.
Director Wu apologized repeatedly, and so did Dean Liu. These high-ranking officials were quick to admit mistakes and avoided arrogance, displaying good tempers. In contrast, grassroots workers like Feng Huihui and Li Jiachen had terrible attitudes.
This stark contrast was indeed ironic.
"So you’re saying today’s incident is directly related to me?" Director Wu asked Dean Liu after hearing his words.
"No, no, it’s my fault. It’s my fault for not promptly implementing a change of mentor for Chen Xue." Dean Liu said.
"Was Li Jiachen Chen Xue’s internship mentor?" Director Wu asked Dean Liu.
"No, Chen Xue’s mentor is called Feng Huihui, a Traditional Chinese Medicine physician who is highly esteemed in our department." Dean Liu said.
"If Li Jiachen wasn’t Chen Xue’s mentor, how did he have the opportunity to manhandle her?" Director Wu asked Dean Liu.
"This..." Dean Liu had no answer.
"What’s going on?" Director Wu turned to ask Chen Xue.
Chen Xue was still wiping her tears and couldn’t answer Director Wu’s question, so Lu Yaobing spoke on her behalf: "I should mention, that Doctor Feng isn’t any good either!"
Hearing Lu Yaobing’s words, Dean Liu felt a buzzing in his head, overwhelmed.
There are only a few outstanding physicians in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department. Let’s not have everyone get implicated in this matter today.
Dean Liu was unaware, but Wang Manshan knew about the unspeakable transactions between Feng Huihui and Li Jiachen; the two were close and partnered with several doctors in the testing department, conspiring and colluding, intentionally having patients undergo unnecessary tests to spend more money and then taking kickbacks from the testing department.
"Little Lu, you shouldn’t speak carelessly." Liu Changhong said to Lu Yaobing.
Liu Changhong’s thoughts were simple; losing one Li Jiachen was enough, losing another Feng Huihui would leave his Traditional Chinese Medicine department without personnel, leading to closure, so he wanted to protect Feng Huihui if it was a minor issue.
"Speaking the truth, is that speaking carelessly?" Lu Yaobing tilted her head to ask Liu Changhong.
"No, no, of course not." Liu Changhong felt a chill from being questioned by Lu Yaobing.
It wasn’t that he feared Lu Yaobing, but Director Wu was right beside them.
"Speak, if it’s true, I’ll back you up." Director Wu assured Lu Yaobing of his support.
Liu Changhong did not dare to say anything further.
"Originally, Chen Xue came for a holiday internship, to learn, but Doctor Feng of your hospital never taught her anything. Instead, she had Chen Xue tidy up the office, doing half a day’s work as a cleaner. Chen Xue was here to intern with Doctor Feng, which had nothing to do with Li Jiachen. But when it was time to clock out last night, Doctor Feng suddenly asked Chen Xue to go to Li Jiachen’s office to help him, giving Li Jiachen the opportunity to manhandle Chen Xue."
Hearing Lu Yaobing’s words, Liu Changhong couldn’t help but sigh, raising a hand to rub his forehead, closing his eyes helplessly.
"How could there be such a physician? Being from the same department, how could Doctor Feng be unaware of Li Jiachen’s character? Isn’t this deliberately sending Chen Xue to Li Jiachen, amounting to collusion!" Director Wu grew more furious hearing Lu Yaobing’s words, speaking while agitatedly swinging his hands, pacing back and forth in the office.
"Fortunately, someone suddenly knocked on this beast’s office door last night, giving me a chance to escape. Otherwise, I would have been..."
