The Benevolent Hospital is the largest hospital in Haidong City, and also the most technologically advanced medical facility.
In the morning, inside the internal medicine specialist's office.
"Liú Fēng! Your internship performance has been extremely outstanding. Following discussion within the hospital, it has been decided you are no longer required to continue your internship in the Department of Internal Medicine! This is the official notice from the hospital, pack your things and report to your new position!"
Wáng Bīn is leaning back in his office chair, casually smoking a Chinese cigarette, squinting at an intern across from him.
"Morgue?" Liu Feng frowns, "Director Wang! I'm studying internal medicine, why am I being transferred to the morgue?"
"Hehe!" Wang Bin looks at Liu Feng with a sneer, viewing him with a characteristically citified superior gaze.
"Do you think an intern like you should be privy to the hospital management's decisions?"
Seeing Wang Bin's contemptuous expression, Liu Feng immediately realizes, "Director Wang, are you trying to settle a personal score?"
Whatever high-level decision from the hospital is just a cover, the real orchestrator must be this smug con artist.
"Settling a personal score?" Wang Bin takes a deep puff of his cigarette, sneers, and moves closer to Liu Feng. "Ha, that's right! I am indeed settling a score, what can you do against me?"
Looking at Wang Bin's infuriatingly smug expression, Liu Feng grits his teeth in hatred but feels helpless.
He can only blame his abundant medical knowledge as an intern, picked up from traveling around with his grandfather since childhood. Yesterday, while registering a patient, he had checked their condition.
Things went awry after he found out that a patient, initially diagnosed with nasal cancer by Director Wang, was actually just suffering from severe nasal congestion due to a heavy cold, with mild rhinitis.
After hearing Liu Feng's diagnosis, the patient took a box of cold medication, got better, and was discharged the same day.
Euphoric, he decided to share this good news with Director Wang. However, the moment he arrived at the office door, Wang Bin handed him a treatment plan, which was for that very patient.
When Liu Feng saw the whole treatment plan would cost 300,000 yuan, his brain buzzed loudly, and he could only respond weakly, saying,
"The patient's cold is already cured by me."
Wang Bin received the patient's discharge papers from Liu Feng. His face turned green with anger. This led to this morning's situation.
Thinking of the huge debt his family had racked up so that he could study at a medical university, if he were assigned to an internship in the morgue, it would ruin his life.
Forget about bringing his mother to the city to enjoy a better life, even buying a house and getting married would be impossible. Had he done something wrong?
No!
"Director Wang!" Liu Feng's eyes flashed with anger. Overcoming diseases and saving lives, serving medicine with kindness, that's what a doctor's calling is. Not ripping off patients for profit.
"You were clearly aware that the patient just had a cold, and yet you used such despicable methods to swindle money from them. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"I was just hoping the patient could recover as soon as possible. Is that wrong?"
"Yes, you are not wrong!" Wang Bin gave him a cold sneer. He had seen plenty of naïve young men like Liu Feng before. He stood up, adjusting his distended belly.
"But you're obstructing my stream of income, this is a huge mistake! Look at the hustle and bustle out there."
Wang Bin paused for a moment, then pointed outside the window.
"Fools like you are simply unfit to live in this big city. The morgue is just the first step. I will see to it that you will never become a doctor!"
"You..." Liu Feng was too angry to speak.
Does wanting to be a good doctor mean only being fit to work in a place like the morgue, while these hypocritic profit-seekers can go unpunished?
"Aren't you afraid that I'll expose your dirty deeds?"
"Go ahead!" Wang Bin stood up and poked at Liu Feng's nose, "Let's see who people will believe, an intern like you or a chief expert like me!"
"You bastard!"
Slap!
Liu Feng angrily slapped away the pudgy finger on his nose. "It's either we all go down!"
"Hell! You've got a nerve?" Wang Bin was even angrier. He was the authoritative expert and head physician of the hospital. Usually, even if he smacked these interns, they would obediently turn the other cheek. But today, Liu Feng dared to slap his hand away, it was outrageous!
"You dare talk back? I'll kill you like the bumpkin you are!"
After saying this, he picked up the ashtray on the table and slammed it towards Liu Feng. Liu Feng was prepared, dodged, and grabbed hold of his collar.
"Bumpkin! I'll show you who's a bumpkin!"
Holding Wang Bin's collar, he yanked him across the office table, and the entire bulky body of Wang Bin landed straight in the trash bin.
Bam!
Not waiting for him to react, Liu Feng quickly ran out of the director's office, leaving behind a murderous roar.
"Liu Feng!"
"I'm going to kill you, I'll definitely kill you!"
...
"Si! Hu! Ah!"
Liu Feng sat on the stairs of the emergency exit, frowning and puffing hard on a pack of Red Double Happiness that cost seven yuan and fifty cents. He had no idea where to go from here.
By provoking Dr. Wang Bin today, he was sure his future days would be challenging. Working in the morgue was the least of his worries. The real issue was he might not even pass his internship.
His future appeared grim.
"You are my good 'gay' buddy!" His phone suddenly rang.
Wearing a blank expression, Liu Feng pulled out his phone. His mind was a blank, and he answered the call subconsciously.
"Liu Feng, I've brought you breakfast. I'm outside your hospital now."
"Thank you, Lin Yue! I'll be right out!"
The call was from Liu Feng's girlfriend, who was also his university classmate. For some reason, her voice sounded a bit off today, but Liu Feng was too preoccupied to think about it.
"Lin Yue!"
At the entrance of the hospital, Liu Feng forced a smile onto his face. Seeing Lin Yue still delivering breakfast to him under the blazing sun warmed his heart.
Lin Yue had a voluptuously curvaceous figure, with her phoenix eyes and her melon seed-shaped face, you could say she had both a good figure and a good face. The only thing lacking was her derriere wasn't perky enough.
"Thank you!"
The two shared a smile. Lin Yue's smile seemed a bit forced, but Liu Feng didn't notice and started eating the buns she brought.
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, a sports car pulled up in front of the two of them. A young man dressed impeccably got out, carrying a Louis Vuitton purse meant for women.
"Miss Lin Yue, we meet again. Fate indeed!" The young man smiled radiantly at Lin Yue.
"Mr. Zhou! What brought you here?"
Upon seeing who it was, Lin Yue revealed a sweet smile. The young man was named Zhou Long. He bought a villa worth tens of millions at her real estate agency just yesterday.
Just her commission from it was in the tens of thousands. Watching Zhou Long swiping his card in such an elegant manner left somewhat of an impression on Lin Yue.
"This is the LV purse you love the most. I saw you saved it on your online shopping site yesterday!"
"Ah!" Lin Yue was genuinely surprised, not expecting Mr. Zhou to be this thoughtful.
"Get in the car, we have a few outfits that you need to try on!"
Throughout their conversation, Zhou Long didn't cast a glance at Liu Feng. Liu Feng only smiled; Lin Yue was a hard-earned prize, whom he won over many wealthy playboys.
How could she be moved by merely an LV purse? However, Liu Feng's confidence met a rude awakening in the very next moment.
