Chapter 158
158 You are Fired
In the past few days, Director Xiao has been using his connection to make it so that Bai Qi could no longer work at the hospital in Y City.
Using his influence, Director Xiao planned to suppress that young doctor until he agreed to his daughter’s request. Director Xiao was the kind of person who would spoil his daughter without any limits.
When he heard that his daughter was interested in Bai Qi, Director Xiao was not very keen at first. It was only after he listened to Xiao Wan Zi, telling him about Bai Qi’s potential that Director Xiao agreed.
On that day, Director Xiao was still waiting for his man to report that Bai Qi had made a big mistake with a patient when his man at the association called him.
“Director Xiao, have you offended someone recently?”
His expression halted. Director Xiao tried to think of the answer, but could not remember if he had done anything wrong. “No. Ah Ning, you know that I am very careful. How could I dare to offend someone?”
It was not easy for someone like him to become a director. Therefore, Director Xiao would not dare to offend anyone with higher status. He only dared to bully people who had no backers like Bai Qi.
“Then, why do I hear that you and Wan Zi were going to be transferred away?” The person who was called Ah Ning, spoke in a low tone.
“What?” Director Xiao’s face stiffened. “Impossible! Where did you hear this?”
.....
“I overheard the higher-ups discussing about this a while ago,” Ah Ning said. “I couldn’t be wrong. They said that you were misusing your authority.”
Director Xiao’s face turned pale. A face showed up in his mind. “Do you think that the boy’s letter had reached the higher-up?”
Last time, when Bai Qi had written a letter to the higher-ups, it was Ah Ning who had intercepted the letter before it reached the big bosses. When he met with Bai Qi the other day, the boy had told him that he was not going to give up.
Director Xiao could not help but wonder if Bai Qi had persisted and met the higher-ups to send the letter personally.
“It can’t be,” Ah Ning spoke. “Even if the letter had reached the higher-ups, they would launch an investigation first. But this is too sudden. It doesn’t seem as if they were willing to give you a chance to defend yourself. Think again. Have you offended someone?”
Director Xiao tried to think, but could not come out with the answer.
The two chatted briefly before they ended the call. Even so, Director Xiao could not stop thinking about the matter that Ah Ning had reported to him.
As he was in deep thought, someone knocked on the door.
Director Xiao did not have the chance to say a word when someone pushed the door and entered. His expression grew uglier. Director Xiao was about to lash out at that person when he noticed that the one who had entered was someone he knew.
It was that young houseman who he had paid to pull some tricks to make things difficult for Bai Qi.
Director Bai opened his mouth, wanting to ask if the matter has been successfully done. It was then that he noticed that the boy had entered the room with Doctor QI Zheng and the President of the hospital.
He stood up quickly and the chair behind him made a loud thud as it hit the wall behind him.
“President Pei!” Director Xiao smiled as he greeted the old man. Then, he shifted his gaze to Qi Zheng and spoke, “Doctor Qi, you are here as well.”
His brow furrowed. Director Xiao could not think of a reason why the three of them would appear in his room at the same time.
“Director Xiao, are you crazy?” It was Qi Zheng who had shouted at him.
Director Xiai’s expression turned darker as he was not expecting to be yelled at in front of his superior. He faked a smile and was about to ask what was going on when Qi Zheng had spoken again.
“I know that you would use your status to bully others, but letting someone sabotage a surgery is a bit too far, isn’t it? What do you think of the patient’s life?”
After Bai Qi came to talk to him, Qi Zheng sent someone to monitor Director Xiao’s movement. Because of that, they managed to stop Bai Qi from falling into Director Xiao’s trap.
Hearing the accusation, Director Xiao finally knew what was going on. His gaze shifted to the young trainee in front of him and he already decided to abandon this person.
He had already made it so that no one would know of his involvement in this matter.
However, seeing the young houseman in front of him could only mean that this person was trying to betray him. Since he dared to betray him, Director Xiao did not mind discarding him as well. After all, he believed that the president would believe his words as compared to this nameless houseman.
“Doctor Qi, I don’t understand what you were talking about?”
Seeing that the man wanted to continue and pretend made Qi Zheng grow angrier.
The President raised his hand, motioning Qi Zheng not to say anything. He stepped forward and spoke, “Director Xiao, you are fired.” The president’s voice was calm.
“What?” Director Xiao turned at the president in disbelief. “President, you can’t blindly trust Doctor Qi’s accusation.”
The old man pursed his lips as he looked at Director Xiao for a long time. “I often heard how you suppressed others with your power, but trying to sabotage a surgery is not something that I can tolerate.”
“You are slandering me.”
“We already have concrete evidence,” the president spoke. “There are recording that you have instructed for someone to sabotage Doctor Bai’s surgery. If it was not for Doctor Qi who had noticed it, perhaps, Doctor Bai would make a mistake.”
Director Xiao quickly learned that his trick had failed as Doctor Qi had noticed what he had instructed the houseman to do. However, he still thought that as long as he denied his involvement, the president would not be able to do anything.
“If Doctor Bai go through with that operation, that patient might have died on the operating table,” the president continued. His face grew red in anger. “Director Xiao... first and foremost, you have to remember that you too are a doctor. How can you put a patient’s life in danger just because of your grudge against Doctor Bai? This is unacceptable.”
If Director Xiao succeeded, not only there was a chance for the patient’s life to be in danger. But, the hospital might also face a lawsuit because of the error. A lot of people will be implicated.
Director Xiao was about to come up with his defense when the president gave him a heavy blow.
“I already reported you to the association. From now on, you no longer have to come to work. Your license will also be revoked.”
