“She deserved it for her contributions yesterday.” Lieutenant Shang agreed.
“Also…” Gu Mingchen’s eyes darkened. “Recruit two doctors into the special forces this year. So that we won’t have emergency situations where we have to get help from members of the public again. Ensuring safety and order is the military’s duty.”
“Yes, sir.” Lieutenant Shang obeyed.
“What’s our schedule today like?” Gu Mingchen asked while he put on his uniform.
Wearing that uniform, he reflected uprightness and resplendent.
Lieutenant Shang looked at him respectfully and reported, “Chief, you have a meeting at 9 a.m. at the military base. After that, you need to attend an internal military inspection. In the evening, you have an appointment with the air force chief, Chief Su at the military club. He asked you to bring your girlfriend along.”
“You can ask him to kill himself.” Gu Mingchen said coldly.
Hearing that, Lieutenant Shang lowered his head.
He did not have the nerves to say that. But the chief does not have a girlfriend. What should I do?
Bai Rong returned to the office after performing her last surgery of the day.
Her good friend, Liu Yan, who was waiting for her in her office chair, had a mischievous glint in the eyes. “Guess what news I am here with.”
“Good or bad news?” Bai Rong asked. She walked towards Liu Yan after washing her hands.
Liu Yan stood up and seated Bai Rong down. She then sat on the desk and looked at her friend excitedly. It looked like she had gossip to share. “I have one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
Bai Rong retrieved a patient’s file and smiled, “I’ll listen to the good news. You can keep the bad news to yourself.”
Liu Yan pursed her lips. “Look at you. Did you help to deliver babies at the military base again yesterday?”
“Yeah, I happened to be in the office.” Bai Rong elaborated, before continuing to write notes on the patient’s file.
“That woman you operated on came to me for a vaginal constriction operation, and mentioned she wanted to sue you. I heard she’s a mistress of some high-ranking official. Why did you bother to save such a woman?” Liu Yan felt bad for Bai Rong.
However, the latter did not even lift up her head and merely said, “To me, she’s just a pregnant woman who was giving birth. Is the child ok?”
“Both mother and child are safe. But there’s good news too. As you have performed a meritorious service for the military, you have been promoted to deputy head! You need to give me a treat to celebrate.” Liu Yan snatched Bai Rong’s pen away and giggled.
Bai Rong looked at Liu Yan. “Sure. But I need to finish my report before we can leave.”
Returning the pen to her friend, Liu Yan said, “Hurry up, don’t stop writing!”
They walked out of the office together after Bai Rong was done.
Just then, Su Xuyan was walking towards them, holding a bouquet of roses.
Liu Yan gave Bai Rong a nudge and teased, “Looks like you have a date tonight. I shall not be a spoilsport. I’ll get my treat from you another day!”
Bai Rong looked at the man.
He saw her too. But he simply gave a sly smile and shot her a sharp gaze before walking into VIP room 1308.
Liu Yan’s eyes widened. She pointed at Su Xuyan and asked in bewilderment, “Why did he go into that woman’s room? Don’t tell me he is that high-ranking official?!”
Bai Rong’s eyes were downcast and her long lashes covered her eyelids. “Let’s go.”
“How can we go?!” Liu Yan was angry. She tugged on Bai Rong’s arm.
