201 President Shen’s Only Condition
Just like the last time, there were a few people sitting in the office.
Sang Qianqian took a glance and was stunned. Why was Director Xue and Director Mie here?
Director Nie was the Director of the headquarters for the hospital in Yuecheng, and was also the general person-in-charge of the Beijing branch.
Could it be that even Director Nie was alarmed by her small matter?
Sang Qianqian wanted to find a hole to hide in.
She didn’t even dare to look at Director Xue. She felt that she had let him down for all the time he had trained and trusted her.
“Qianqian, what are you doing?”
Department Director Miao turned around and waved at her. “Come here quickly.”
Sang Qianqian walked over with her head lowered, not knowing how to start the conversation. She hadn’t written anything for an explanation.
She had come today prepared to be fired. To her surprise, Department Director Miao did not ask for an explanation.
Instead, he turned around and continued to talk to Director Xue. He said with a hint of blame, “Why didn’t you tell me about this in advance?”
“I mainly wanted to see how talented Qianqian is and whether she can learn things by herself.”
Director Xue smiled. “If I told you this and she didn’t learn anything, I’d be embarra.s.sed.”
“Just because of your selfishness, you almost caused us to lose a good seedling!”
Director Miao shook her head and sighed. “You’re really something. Why didn’t you explain anything when I asked you the last time? You’ve caused such a huge misunderstanding.”
Sang Qianqian was at a loss. What should she explain?
How did this turn into a misunderstanding again?
The capital branch’s President’s expression wasn’t as serious as last time. He looked at Director Nie and said, “So, you knew that Qianqian taught herself hypnosis and stole medicine from other departments?”
“Chenghua did report to me, and I nodded in agreement. It’s a good thing that young people have the drive and are willing to learn. It’s just a matter of a few bottles of medicine so I have no reason not to agree.”
Director Nie’s voice was deep. “If this matter is investigated, then the responsibility shall go to me. I’ve personally come to the capital to apologize to you.”
“You’re really torturing me. It’s just a phone call, and I even had to trouble Director Nie to come all the way here personally, so how am I worthy?”
The Beijing branch’s President also smiled and said to Sang Qianqian politely, “Since this is a misunderstanding and Shi’an said the both of you were just playing around, you can continue working, Qianqian. However, if you want to learn anything or use any medicine in the future, don’t just talk to Director Xue; tell Director Miao as well. As long as it’s reasonable and legal, we’ll fully support you.”
Sang Qianqian subconsciously looked at Director Xue.
“Aren’t you going to thank the two directors?” Director Xue said with a smile.
Sang Qianqian had no idea what was going on and could only express her thanks. When she came out of the office, she was completely dumbfounded.
She quickly sent a message to Director Xue and invited him to lunch. Shortly after, Director Xue agreed.
It was finally noon when Sang Qianqian saw Director Xue. “Director Xue, what exactly is going on?”
Director Xue wasn’t as full of smiles as he had been in the morning. He looked at her with a straight face and said, “You’re really bold, girl. Who allowed you to take medicine from another department without permission? Moreover, it was a specially-made tranquilizer?”
Sang Qianqian pursed her lips. “I had an urgent need for it.”
“Even if it was an emergency, you shouldn’t do this. It’s fine if you took the medicine, but how could you hypnotize Xie Shi’an without his permission?”
Director Xue was rarely so serious. “Is it worth risking your career?”
“It’s worth it,” Sang Qianqian said softly.
“Worth it?!”
Director Xue was furious. “Thank G.o.d Director Nie came. Otherwise, even if Xie Shi’an was willing to speak up for you, you can’t escape the responsibility of using the hospital’s medicine without permission. You would’ve been fired by now!”
“Why would Director Nie personally come to the capital for my sake? Furthermore, he even helped Director Xue lie?” Sang Qianqian asked curiously.
Even her brother didn’t tell her about her self-hypnosis, so Director Xue couldn’t have known about it, let alone reported it to Director Nie.
“Maybe it’s because you’re too talented. They’re afraid that if you aren’t able to become a doctor, then you’d go down the wrong path.”
Director Xue glanced at her and said, “After all, you can learn hypnosis by yourself. What can’t you do if you’re so brave to even hypnotize your colleague?”
Sang Qianqian’s little face turned red.
Director Xue was indeed worthy of his enigmatic way of scolding.
“Director Xue, since you and Director Nie are in Beijing, do you want to stay for a few more days?”
Sang Qianqian a.s.sumed that Director Nie was only willing to come because of Director Xue’s pleading. She was grateful and took the initiative to say, “How about I be your tour guide?”
“I can’t this time. Let’s just do that next time.”
Director Xue said, “We’re leaving for Ming City in the afternoon.”
Sang Qianqian was surprised. “Why are we going to Ming City?”
“We’re going to go and look at the land,” Director Xue said with a smile.
Sang Qianqian did not understand. “Look at what?”
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Director Xue sized Sang Qianqian up with a meaningful look in his eyes. “Qianqian, what is your relationship with President Shen?”
Sang Qianqian’s hand trembled, the meatball on her fork falling and rolling onto the table.
Facing Director Xue’s probing gaze, she smiled. “Didn’t you know that he was my high school cla.s.smate?”
She was secretly glad that she didn’t tell her colleagues in the hospital about her marriage because of the distance.
At that time, she had planned to treat her colleagues to a meal with Shen Hanyu after they got married and returned to Yuecheng. Fortunately, she didn’t do that. Otherwise, she would’ve been really embarra.s.sed now.
It was even more awkward than the last time she broke up.
Seeing that she didn’t want to talk about it, Director Xue didn’t ask further. “Qianqian, I think President Shen treats you quite well.”
Sang Qianqian was silent for a few seconds. “Why are you suddenly saying this?”
Director Xue coughed twice. “I’m just saying that because we’re going to Ming City.”
Sang Qianqian was speechless. Of course, she knew that Shen Hanyu was good to her, but that was all in the past.

At night, Ming City’s Cloud Sea Restaurant.
Guo Muyang smiled and raised his gla.s.s to thank them. “I’m sorry for troubling the two of you with Miss Sang’s matter.
Director Nie stood up gratefully and replied, “Vice President Guo, you’re too kind. It’s just a small effort. President Shen and President Guo have really helped our hospital a lot, so we’re really not worthy of your thanks.”
A few days ago, Guo Muyang went to Yuecheng. After being personally introduced to Director Nie by Director Xue, he had asked Director Nie if he was interested in opening a branch in Ming City.
Of course, Director Nie was interested.
However, Ming City was considered a super-cla.s.s metropolis in the country. If one wanted to set up a branch, the land price alone would be an unimaginable investment.
The branch in the capital had been opened more than ten years ago. Otherwise, with the current land price, how would they afford it?
Guo Muyang took out an agreement. Inside it was the transfer of a t.i.tle deed of Ming city.
He said that he would give the land worth more than one billion Yuan to the hospital for free.
“Dr. Sang from your hospital cured President Shen of his headache and insomnia. She refused to accept the remuneration, so this piece of land is a thank you gift from us.”
Guo Muyang said, “But I heard that Dr. Sang has run into some trouble in Beijing and might be fired? I’ll have to trouble you to step in and handle this. Dr. Sang must stay. This is President Shen’s only condition.”

Because of this, Director Nie took Director Xue to Beijing to help Sang Qianqian out. Of course, Sang Qianqian had no way of knowing about this.
