The next day, as soon as Shen Xi arrived at the clinic and changed, she received a call from Bai Yongjun.
"Doctor Shen, please come to the dean's office."
"Okay." Shen Xi hung up the phone, feeling a sense of suspicion.
Why was the dean looking for her at this time? Was she not supposed to see patients today?
As Shen Xi approached the dean's office door, she heard a heated argument from inside.
"Dean Bai, how can you be so autocratic? I am an investor in the hospital. You should have informed me before firing Yuan Li!" a strange man said indignantly.
"Yuan Zhou, listen to me. Yuan Li did make a mistake. Moreover, I had my reasons." Bai Yongjun's voice carried a hint of difficulty, hoping the other party would calm down and listen to his explanation.
However, the other party was impatient, his anger unabated. "How big of a mistake was it? I'm not unaware. She just said a few things privately that she shouldn't have. What's the big deal?"
"Exactly. Dean Bai, didn't I apologize to her publicly? Is there a need to fire me? Is there someone backing her?" Yuan Li's voice rang out from inside the room.
Shen Xi was startled, finally understanding what they were talking about. It was related to her.
She knocked on the door with a somber expression, walked in, and looked directly at Bai Yongjun, "Dean, you were looking for me?"
"Doctor Shen, you've come at the perfect time. Something unpleasant happened on your first day of work, and I wasn't present. Dr. Yuan is here to discuss it again, so please recount the specific situation back then." Bai Yongjun looked at her with a normal expression.
Yuan Li glanced at her dismissively, her face filled with defiance.
"Dean Bai, the matter happened a long time ago, and it's already settled. I don't think there's any need to bring it up again." Shen Xi said indifferently, standing before the three of them.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Li became anxious, "I think it's very necessary. You work comfortably in the hospital every day, but I haven't found a job yet."
"That's your own doing, you can't blame anyone else." Shen Xi glanced at her and chuckled lightly.
This woman was truly shameless. She had forgiven her initially on her first day of work because she didn't want to make a big scene, and hadn't said anything. Now, more than twenty days later, she had come knocking again, practically inviting disgrace. If this woman wanted to cause trouble this time, she would definitely accompany her to the end.
"You... Even if I said a few things I shouldn't have, I've realized my mistake and apologized to you. You can't just cut off all hope and have the dean fire me, can you?" Yuan Li spoke with full confidence, having her uncle backing her.
Shen Xi stood tall and unyielding, glancing sideways at her. "I accepted your apology, but the decision to dismiss you was made by the dean. What does it have to do with me?"
Hearing this, Wei Yuan Zhou became furious. He raised his hand, pointing at Shen Xi with a tremor, and said loudly, "You're too arrogant! I don't care how big your background is; you must leave Ankang Hospital today!"
"Oh really? I'm afraid this isn't your call, is it?" Shen Xi glared at him, not backing down at all.
"Dean Bai, do you see this? This doctor can talk down to an investor. I don't know how you usually manage your employees." Wei Yuan Zhou, seeing that he couldn't intimidate Shen Xi, could only apply pressure to Bai Yongjun. "Either she leaves today, or I withdraw my investment."
Bai Yongjun was stunned. If Wei Yuan Zhou withdrew his investment now, the hospital would be significantly impacted, and it might even be unable to operate. However, he also couldn't afford to offend the two great mountains behind Shen Xi.
"Yuan Zhou, don't get agitated. Let's discuss this calmly."
Wei Yuan Zhou believed he had grasped Bai Yongjun's weak spot and was relentless. "There's no room for negotiation on this matter. Such an arrogant person must leave the hospital."
