Overpowered Resident Doctor-Chapter 191 - 190: Be a Pure Doctor

Plastic Surgery Center, Director's Office.

Yan Feifan learned that Director Wang Chuan had gone to the president's office, so the sofa area of this office temporarily became his workspace.

"Alright, tell me what happened."

Hearing this, Ye Lin looked at Yan Feifan sitting across from her, then shot a quick glance at Meng Yao beside her.

She wrung her small hands nervously and began to speak slowly, "Mr. Yan, the truth is, Wen Chunli and her group have gone too far."

"The night before last, they were deliberately trying to make things difficult for me."

Yan Feifan shot her a glare and criticized, "Just state the facts. Don't mix in your own subjective judgments."

Ye Lin let out a soft "oh" and said, "The patient from the night before last was an overweight woman. She was 1.6 meters tall but weighed 180 kilograms."

"And her veins were extremely thin."

"I tried to insert the needle three times and failed. She started cursing me out, and it was really nasty. I couldn't take it anymore, so I said one thing back."

"Really, it was just one sentence!"

Ye Lin emphasized, then added indignantly, "Later, I found out that Wen Chunli had already made someone else try to insert the needle in that patient once."

"She knew the woman was heavy, that her veins were thin, and that someone else had already failed. Instead of doing it herself, she deliberately assigned the task to me, wanting me to take the heat from the patient."

Yan Feifan snorted lightly. "If you had just practiced a bit more, you wouldn't have had such a hard time with a simple venipuncture."

Ye Lin lowered her head and muttered, "I do practice normally."

Yan Feifan snorted again and asked, "So how did it escalate into a group confrontation?"

Ye Lin pouted and said in a small voice, "The patient filed a complaint. That Wen Chunli told me to go apologize to the patient and also wanted to fine me two hundred yuan."

"Of course, I refused, so I called you."

Yan Feifan turned to Meng Yao and asked, "What's this about a fine? Is it a center policy?"

Meng Yao shook her head. "It's not an official written rule of the center. It's actually an incentive agreement the nurses made among themselves."

"If a patient complains because of issues like needle insertion, you pay two hundred yuan out of your own pocket."

"The money is pooled together, and we use it for group activities during holidays."

Meng Yao sighed. "But over time, its nature changed. What was a voluntary contribution became a mandatory fine."

"And the money from the fines became a private slush fund for Wen Chunli and her cronies."

Yan Feifan nodded, looked at Ye Lin, and continued, "And what's this about you raising a banner of rebellion and everyone rallying to your cause?"

Ye Lin glanced at Yan Feifan guiltily, then lowered her head again.

"Mr. Yan, you don't know, but Wen Chunli and her group have been bullying the new nurses for a long time."

"It's supposed to be a rotating schedule, but they always use shift swaps and substitutions to make the new nurses work the hardest overnight shifts."

"They never properly teach them or share their experience, and on top of that, they always order them to do the dirtiest and most tiring jobs."

"Only by sucking up to them, giving them gifts and red envelopes, would you get slightly better treatment."

"And if you don't do what they want, you get messed with a lot."

Ye Lin said huffily, "It was because I don't suck up to them that they deliberately made me handle the needle for that heavy woman that night."

After a pause, she added resentfully, "Those other girls are all from out of town. It wasn't easy for them to get a job at the Affiliated Hospital."

"Normally, they just endure whatever they can."

"Mr. Yan, if they hadn't been bullied so badly, they wouldn't have risked it all to stand up with me."

Then Ye Lin said pitifully, "Mr. Yan, I know this has blown up, and no matter who's right or wrong, there will be punishments."

"If someone has to be punished, just punish me."

"Those other girls were incited by me to speak out. This job is really important to them."

Yan Feifan let out a soft chuckle. "You're quite the loyal friend, aren't you? Thinking you can take all the blame."

"What? Have you already found your next job? Lined up an exit strategy?"

Ye Lin waved her hands frantically. "No, no! Where in all of Binhai could I find a better hospital than the Affiliated Hospital?"

"Working here earns me a lot of respect from my relatives and friends."

"I've never once thought about leaving voluntarily."

"The only way I'd leave this place is if you, Mr. Yan, didn't want me anymore and kicked me out of the Affiliated Hospital."

Yan Feifan found her phrasing a bit odd and criticized, "Don't say it in such a vague and ambiguous way."

He looked at Meng Yao. "Do you have anything to add?"

Meng Yao shook her head. "The sequence of events is just as Ye Lin described. I have nothing to add."

Yan Feifan said, "Oh," and waved his hand. "In that case, you two can go back for now."

"Regardless of the final outcome, the most important thing right now is to do your assigned work meticulously."

"Yes, Mr. Yan!" Meng Yao and Ye Lin answered in unison.

Just as they were getting up to leave, Ye Lin asked pitifully, "Mr. Yan, is it really possible that I'll be fired?"

Yan Feifan said in a serious voice, "I've only just heard the gist of it from you today, and the center is going through a turbulent time right now."

"I can't say for sure what the specific outcome will be."

"However, if you haven't lied, I can guarantee that your punishment will be relatively fair."

Ye Lin said, "Oh," and didn't ask any more questions, leaving the director's office with Meng Yao... 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Yan Feifan waited for nearly another hour before Wang Chuan finally arrived.

"The people from the Health Commission are here..."

Wang Chuan said with a troubled expression, "For Dr. Qu to have his medical license revoked would be getting off easy this time. He might even face prison."

"It's that serious?" Yan Feifan was a little surprised.

Wang Chuan grunted in affirmation, then revealed, "They can't find him. He's probably already fled the country."

"It's said to involve at least tens of billions in loans, financing, and fundraising. If this news gets out, people might start jumping off buildings."

Yan Feifan sighed, then asked, "Director, Ye Lin and Meng Yao have already told me about what happened the night before last."

"Do you have a plan for how to handle it?"

Wang Chuan got a cup of cold water from the water cooler and took a few large gulps.

"I just spoke with the president, Mr. Liu, and Mr. Xiang. They said they still trust me."

"Since I can hold on to this director position for now, it's time to tear down the old to build the new."

He looked at Yan Feifan and said, "I've already investigated."

"Mrs. Wen and her group have indeed formed a small clique for their own benefit, often ganging up to bully junior nurses from out of town."

"My recommendation is to fire all of them."

"As for Ye Lin and the others..."

Wang Chuan glanced at Yan Feifan and said, "Ye Lin handled the situation improperly by not reporting the problem through the proper channels. We'll dock her bonus for three months. The others will be docked for one month."

Seeing no objection from Yan Feifan, Wang Chuan continued, "We need to cut the Gordian knot. I'll call a staff meeting in a bit to finalize this."

He rubbed the bridge of his nose again and advised, "Feifan, this kind of management work and administrative affairs are a real drain on your energy, and they affect your mood."

"We Chinese have a tradition that 'he who excels in study should become an official.' Superiors also like to pile responsibilities on talented people."

"But I strongly advise you not to be tempted by these so-called high-level, prestigious positions. You should remain a pure physician."

"Feifan, when your ability and reputation reach a certain level, you'll find that you've become an uncrowned king."

"At that point, the administrators of your institution will essentially be serving you. Your opinions will be implemented and carried out, but you won't be bogged down by trivial matters."

Yan Feifan chuckled. "Director, the scenario you're describing is exactly what I'm hoping for."

Wang Chuan smiled. "I have no doubt you'll reach that level."

After a pause, he changed the subject. "Feifan, let me tell you about a specific matter."

"There's a producer in the entertainment industry, Ms. Gao, who really admires your skills."

"She's discovered several potential new stars and hopes that you and I can work together to make them beautiful, each with their own distinct look..."
