Yang Lan, a young woman, was knocked off balance by the other person, staggering a few steps. The juice in her hand tilted and spilled.
Fortunately, Tian Mengyao, who was beside her, gave her a hand, otherwise, Yang Lan might have fallen to the ground.
"Dr. Chen, you were the one not watching where you were going! Couldn't you see the two of us?!" Yang Lan glared at him furiously.
The spilled juice had also landed on her dress.
The doctor who bumped into Yang Lan was none other than Chen Wenbin, a doctor from their department.
"I wasn't watching?! Dr. Yang, what is this place? Is it for you to drink juice and eat?" Chen Wenbin said with a grim expression.
Especially seeing his clothes stained with juice, he was filled with anger.
Tian Mengyao frowned slightly, "Dr. Chen, this is the hospital's banquet. Is it wrong to eat and drink juice?"
"Also, do you have any self-awareness about why we can come here to attend the banquet?"
Her words made Chen Wenbin's face extremely unpleasant.
Yesterday's incident was simply the greatest insult of his life!
Chen Wenbin said coldly, "As a deputy director, is this your only perspective? It's a tragedy for the hospital and the department to have you in this position!"
After speaking, Chen Wenbin wiped the juice from his clothes and prepared to leave.
Yang Lan was immediately displeased and blocked Chen Wenbin's path, "Dr. Chen, what do you mean by that?! Tian Mengyao's work ability in the hospital is evident to all. What do you mean by tragedy? You're not leaving until you clarify things today!"
Chen Wenbin said with a playful smile, "Fine, you want me to clarify? Alright, then I'll explain it to you properly today."
"Do you know why the hospital banquet invites celebrities and not ordinary people? It's to win over the hospital's clients and connections."
"Otherwise, when those celebrities get sick and are hospitalized, they will go to other hospitals instead of our Longhua First Hospital."
"To come here to eat and drink? It's really something you can think of!"
Tian Mengyao and Yang Lan were both stunned. It was their first time attending such a banquet, and they hadn't considered this aspect.
However, Tian Mengyao still retorted, "How patients choose a hospital depends on the cure rate and the doctor's medical skills, not these superficial efforts."
"Deputy Director Tian is right, but have you ever thought about how high the probability of these celebrities suffering from serious illnesses is? Most of them have minor illnesses like colds and fevers. Does it matter which hospital treats these illnesses? So, without this connection, how can we make money?" Chen Wenbin said mockingly.
"Excuse me, is Dr. Chen from the Respiratory Department here?" However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.
A middle-aged man holding a glass of red wine, judging by his attire, his status was not low.
"May I ask who you are?" Chen Wenbin asked politely, sizing him up.
"I am the owner of Shenzhitang, Xu Chengping."
"The owner of Shenzhitang?!" Chen Wenbin looked surprised.
He had heard of the fame of Longhua Shenzhitang before he went abroad. It was the largest Chinese medicinal materials merchant in Longhua.
But thinking that the other party was looking for him, Chen Wenbin couldn't help but show a smug smile.
He tidied his collar and glanced playfully at Tian Mengyao and Yang Lan.
Then he reached out and shook hands with Xu Chengping, saying politely, "Boss Xu, I didn't expect you to know there's a Dr. Chen in our Respiratory Department. Your reputation travels fast."
Chen Wenbin did not reveal his identity directly, but instead wanted to show off in front of Tian Mengyao and Yang Lan.
This way, Tian Mengyao would know the gap between them.
Even if Tian Mengyao became a deputy director, she would still be ignored! Unlike him, who had just returned to work and his name had already reached the ears of these high-ranking individuals!
Xu Chengping smiled calmly and said, "Dr. Chen is highly skilled and humble. It's not surprising that I've heard of Dr. Chen's name. Many people want to get to know Dr. Chen."
Hearing this, Chen Wenbin's tail almost wagged to the sky.
Yang Lan, seeing Chen Wenbin's petty triumph, couldn't help but scoff, "Tsk, so they just know his name? What's so great about that, look at how smug he is."
Tian Mengyao pulled Yang Lan, wanting to leave.
But Chen Wenbin would not miss this opportunity to humiliate Tian Mengyao.
He immediately blocked Tian Mengyao's path, "Deputy Director Tian, have you forgotten what I earnestly told you earlier?"
"This is the big boss of Shenzhitang! Deputy Director Tian, you must have heard of Shenzhitang, right?" Chen Wenbin asked mockingly.
Tian Mengyao frowned slightly, "Of course, I know."
Chen Wenbin sneered, "Since you know, Boss Xu of Shenzhitang is here. As a deputy director, if you don't say a word and leave directly, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to Boss Xu?"
Xu Chengping politely waved his hand, "It's fine, it's fine. I just have some personal matters to discuss with Dr. Chen."
Chen Wenbin, however, was relentless, "Boss Xu, you can't say that. Outside, the deputy director is the face of our hospital. With him acting like this, even I, as a doctor, find it hard to watch."
Tian Mengyao knew what her current identity represented, so she could only look at Xu Chengping and say, "Boss Xu, I apologize. We are not good at expressing ourselves. Since you have private matters with Dr. Chen, we will take our leave."
"It's alright, it's alright. You are busy." Xu Chengping still relied on Chen Mo, so he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction and quickly waved politely.
After speaking, Tian Mengyao and Yang Lan turned to leave.
Seeing the expressions on Tian Mengyao and Yang Lan's faces, Chen Wenbin was overjoyed.
Then he turned to Xu Chengping, "Boss Xu, please excuse me."
"No, no." Xu Chengping was still as polite as ever.
Chen Wenbin made a gesture of invitation, "Boss Xu, shall we sit down and chat?"
"Sit down and chat?" Xu Chengping was stunned and looked at Chen Wenbin with some confusion.
"Didn't you come to see me for private matters? I am Chen Wenbin from the Respiratory Department. I graduated from a world-class medical university. I am not talented, but I just graduated with a doctorate and returned to Longhua, wanting to contribute to Longhua's medical strength." Chen Wenbin spoke in a high-sounding manner.
However, Xu Chengping, who was standing nearby, was a bit dumbfounded. He thought, the Dr. Chen he was looking for was not him!
"Mengyao."
Suddenly, not far from the banquet hall, a figure walked over.
Tian Mengyao and Yang Lan, who were about to leave, heard the voice and quickly looked over.
"Chen Mo."
"Director Chen."
Tian Mengyao and Yang Lan were both delighted to see Chen Mo.
Seeing Chen Mo, Tian Mengyao immediately felt a sense of security.
At this moment, Xu Chengping also saw Chen Mo.
Before Chen Wenbin could say anything more, he hurried towards Chen Mo.
