Looking at that wet hand, Sun Zhe could roughly guess what Gu Lingxue had just been doing. He really didn't expect that a dignified department director would be doing such a thing in her office this early in the morning!
However, from the angle of the office doorway, all one could see was Gu Lingxue sitting in front of her computer, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the screen. Anyone who saw her would assume she was working diligently.
"I'm sorry, Director Gu. I did knock."
Gu Lingxue hastily withdrew the hand she had been pointing at Sun Zhe, grinding her teeth in frustration. I was just getting in the mood, just about to finish, and he interrupted me! This is infuriating!
In all her time working here, no one had ever dared to push open her office door without permission. Even the hospital director wouldn't dare do such a thing!
"I know you knocked, but I told you to wait a moment. Didn't you hear me?"
Sun Zhe felt helpless. The door's soundproofing must be too good, because I really didn't hear a thing.
Gu Lingxue snorted coldly, sat back in her chair, and asked with an icy expression, "What are you here for?"
Sun Zhe walked into the office and placed the business card Zhu Yan had given him on the desk. "I was introduced by Zhu Yan."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingxue looked up to re-evaluate Sun Zhe, the coldness on her face diminishing slightly.
"Nurse Chief Zhu?"
"Yes, that's her."
I didn't expect Stepmom to be the Nurse Chief. No wonder she could pull some strings to help me get this job.
"Didn't she say you would be coming in a few days? Why are you here today?"
"I wanted to start work as soon as possible," Sun Zhe said.
Gu Lingxue's face remained impassive. "What skills do you have? Which university did you graduate from?"
Sun Zhe replied truthfully, "I didn't attend any university. My grandfather was a village doctor, and I learned some medical skills from him."
Hearing this, Gu Lingxue's expression immediately soured, her eyes filled with undisguised disdain. "A village doctor? What real skills could he have?"
Hearing Gu Lingxue say this, Sun Zhe felt a surge of annoyance. In his heart, his grandfather was a Divine Doctor; there was no illness his grandfather couldn't cure!
However, the woman before him was his boss. A single word from her could decide whether he stayed or left, so he could only remain silent. Moreover, Zhu Yan had worked hard to get him this job. He didn't want to throw a fit and embarrass her.
Gu Lingxue sighed. "Honestly, that Nurse Chief Zhu... Sending just anyone my way."
"So, Director Gu, does that mean...?" Sun Zhe asked.
Gu Lingxue secretly sized up Sun Zhe. What a young hunk. Even if he has no real skills, he'd be pleasant to have around as eye candy. He looks to be over six feet tall, handsome and dashing, with a strong physique. He just radiates vitality. A young man like this is exactly my type!
Her mind raced, but her expression suddenly turned serious. "Fine, you can stay on as my assistant for now. I'll give you a one-week trial period. If you don't perform well, I'll have you leave."
"Okay, thank you, Director Gu!"
"Do you have basic computer skills? Organize these patient files for me."
Sun Zhe scratched his head. "I'm not really good with computers," he said, embarrassed.
"You…" Gu Lingxue's eyes widened. What is this useless guy? He can't even perform the most basic computer operations!
"You're completely useless! You can't do anything! What gives you the nerve to even come to a hospital? With your level of 'expertise,' you'd be a menace to patients if you ever became a doctor!"
But Sun Zhe was unconvinced. "What does treating patients and saving lives have to do with operating a computer?" he retorted.
Gu Lingxue was stumped by the question. When I think about it, he's right. There isn't really a connection.
But since Sun Zhe hadn't even attended medical school and didn't know basic computer skills, Gu Lingxue still didn't believe he had any real abilities.
"Fine. For Nurse Chief Zhu's sake, I'll let you stay for one week."
Hearing this, Sun Zhe felt his irritation flare up again. He didn't want to embarrass Zhu Yan, nor did he want his ability to secure a place here to be solely due to her connections. He wanted to earn his place with his own skills, making both himself and Zhu Yan proud.
"Director Gu, what can I do now?"
Gu Lingxue shifted in her office chair and crossed her shapely legs. A glimpse of her sheer, flesh-colored stockings could be seen beneath her short black leather skirt. In a commanding tone, she said, "Mop the floor and take out the trash."
"Okay."
RING! RING!
Just then, the desk phone suddenly rang. A moment later, after finishing the call, Gu Lingxue quickly stood up. She took the white coat hanging on the rack and put it on, covering her sultry figure. Looking at Sun Zhe, she ordered, "Hey, you! Grab the medical kit and follow me to the emergency room!"
Sun Zhe knew it was urgent and didn't dare delay, quickly grabbing the medical kit from the desk.
Gu Lingxue hurriedly led Sun Zhe to the emergency room. As soon as they entered, Director Meng Hailiang rushed over to greet them.
"Miss Gu, you're finally here!"
"What's going on?"
Meng Hailiang's expression was grim, though his eyes couldn't help but dart toward the glimpse of Gu Lingxue's stockinged legs beneath her white coat. "Sigh, it looks like Old Mr. Li is about to… I'm completely out of options, so I had no choice but to ask you to come take a look."
"Let me take a look first."
Gu Lingxue walked to the hospital bed, and Sun Zhe followed with the medical kit.
A bone-thin old man lay on the bed, already at death's door. When the busy medical staff saw Gu Lingxue arrive, they quickly stepped aside. At that moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and a young girl who looked to be in her twenties approached the bedside, both with tears in their eyes.
When the middle-aged man in the suit saw Gu Lingxue, it was as if he had seen his savior.
"Doctor Gu, please, you must save my father!" he begged. "I don't know what happened! My father was fine last night. We even had a couple of drinks together. But when the nanny checked on him this morning, she noticed something was wrong, and then he just..."
Gu Lingxue nodded gently. "District Chief Li, please don't worry. Let me assess the situation first."
After a brief examination, Gu Lingxue shook her head at the man in the suit. "District Chief Li, please accept my condolences. Given your father's condition, there is nothing I can do."
"What? Even you, Doctor Gu..."
District Chief Li swayed, nearly collapsing to the ground. His face was a mask of despair as tears of grief streamed down his cheeks.
Meng Hailiang looked at Old Mr. Li on the bed, sighed softly, and offered a few words of consolation.
Many people present knew that Gu Lingxue was the granddaughter of the Divine Doctor of Yang City. She had learned medicine from her grandfather since she was a child and had long since inherited his true medical arts. Therefore, if even Gu Lingxue said Old Mr. Li couldn't be saved, it was undoubtedly a sign that King Yama had sent his invitation.
Just then, Sun Zhe, who had been standing behind Gu Lingxue, frowned and spoke up. "No, this gentleman can still be saved!"
A moment ago, he had secretly activated his Yin Yang X-ray Vision and discovered a cloud of obstructive energy in Old Mr. Li's chest cavity. It was that very cloud of obstructive energy that was blocking the blood flow to his heart
