Chapter 1199: Fei Qing Gets Demoted (1)
“I don’t need comforting.”
“Alright, I will go back to work then,” Bai Pingping said as she hurriedly left.
After Bai Pingping left, Fei Qing’s face completely sank.
In front of others, she could still pretend to be fine. However, when she was facing herself, she couldn’t convince herself not to think about that incident.

Every month, Lahaisen Hospital’s Beijing branch would host a meeting.
All the doctors would come to the hospital’s largest conference room.
The person presiding over the meeting was Li Zhuojia, the Dean of Lahaisen Hospital’s Beijing branch.
In the first half of the meeting, each department would report their work and give a summary of what happened and what was happening.
On the other hand, the second half of the meeting was used for discussion.
Unlike other hospitals, the workload at Lahaisen Hospital was not that packed and intensive. This meant that there was sufficient time for the doctors to do research and learn.
When the meeting was about to end, a colleague suddenly asked Li Zhuojia: “Vice Dean, Jian Yiling is from Lahaisen Hospital’s headquarters. Is she now part of our branch?”
If she was now part of the Beijing branch, in some sense, it would be a demotion.
Li Zhuojia paused for a moment before he swept his eyes over everyone seated in the room. Then, his eyes fell on Jian Yiling: “Well, that depends on what she wants.”
After everyone heard Li Zhuojia’s words, they immediately understood that Jian Yiling’s position in Lahaisen Hospital’s headquarters was not touched.
However, that was understandable. After Grandpa Li’s surgery, everyone knew about Jian Yiling’s medical expertise. They knew why she was a doctor from the headquarters and why Fei Qing could only be a doctor from the Beijing branch.
Even though they were both outstanding surgeons, there was still a gap between them.
Some people subconsciously directed their attention to Fei Qing.
When she sensed the gazes of everyone around her, Fei Qing’s face stiffened. She did not dare to look up at everyone else.
Near the end of the meeting, Li Zhuojia announced: “Finally, I want to make an announcement.”
Li Zhuojia’s tone was serious. When everyone heard him speak like this, they knew that the final announcement was important.
And thus, they all looked toward him.
“Our hospital decided that Fei Qing will no longer be the chief physician of our surgical department. She will now be demoted to a general surgeon,” Li Zhuojia announced.
As soon as this was said, the entire conference room went silent.
Everyone looked toward Fei Qing.
Fei Qing sat frozen in place.
Her ears were buzzing and it seemed as though everyone was mocking her.
Someone asked: “Vice Dean, who will replace her then?”
To some degree, everyone thought that Jian Yiling was going to be taking Fei Qing’s spot.
“For the time being, it’s not yet determined. I will conduct an a.s.sessment next month and then decide,” Li Zhuojia replied. “Dr. Fei can choose to partic.i.p.ate in the a.s.sessment. If Dr. Fei excels and proves that she has the ability to continue being the chief physician of the surgical department, then she will be promoted back to her original role.”
Even though Li Zhuojia said that it was not yet determined, everyone felt that Jian Yiling had a higher probability of becoming the chief physician of the surgical department.
After the meeting ended, the colleagues began texting in their WeChat groups. They were discussing next month’s a.s.sessment.
[Everyone needs to work hard for next month’s a.s.sessment. Even though Jian Yiling’s incredible, we all still have a chance!]
[Yep, we still have a chance to prove ourselves! However, I don’t think it’s possible to beat Jian Yiling. She’s too strong.]
In the past, they only heard about Jian Yiling’s medical expertise. However, everyone in Lahaisen Hospital’s Beijing branch now knew that she deserved the incredible reputation she had.
