CHAPTER 874: CHAPTER 876 DISSATISFIED WITH YOU

President Qian had no solution to the anonymous letter either. Leaving it alone, the conflict would need resolving sooner or later. But if he were to handle it, he didn’t know how to go about it; he increasingly couldn’t understand the thoughts of the younger generation.

Eventually, he felt he should talk to Xiao Yifei properly, and coincidentally, Xiao Yifei came to see him at that moment.

"President Qian, I’ve come to talk to you about this afternoon’s situation. Why didn’t I know about this beforehand?" Xiao Yifei asked as soon as he came in.

"I only received the notification yesterday myself. I originally wanted to inform you but forgot later, and I didn’t expect things to turn out the way they did today," President Qian said apologetically.

"But do you know you’re in a very awkward position right now? Why are so many people dissatisfied with you?" President Qian asked.

"I’ve been wanting to know the answer to that as well," replied Xiao Yifei.

"Since I arrived at this hospital, my relationships with my colleagues haven’t been good. I’ve reflected on myself and feel I’ve done nothing excessive. I work very hard every day; the achievements I’ve reached came through my own efforts. They have no reason to be jealous!" Xiao Yifei said.

"Let me show you this letter, which I received just after the meeting. The words in it are very unpleasant, but take a look regardless! No matter what happens, I still trust you," President Qian handed the letter on the desk to Xiao Yifei.

The more Xiao Yifei read, the angrier he became. The letter completely distorted the facts, claiming he stole others’ credit. Xiao Yifei couldn’t stand it anymore and slammed the letter onto the table, saying, "I must find out who wrote this letter."

"Don’t act impulsively. Why bother with them? I know they’re purely jealous, but the fact that your famed reputation reduces their patient volume is also undeniable. I know you’re very tired every day; perhaps we can find a way to resolve this issue," President Qian consoled.

"There’s a solution—if I leave this hospital, it wouldn’t affect them at all," Xiao Yifei, still angry, couldn’t help but say.

"Xiao Yifei, why are you speaking like that? I called you here to solve problems, not to hear your angry retorts," President Qian said sternly.

"What else is there to do? We can’t force patients not to see me; many come specifically for my treatment. In my view, the real key is for those doctors to improve their own medical skill," Xiao Yifei replied.

"For now, let’s leave it at that. I couldn’t think of a better solution either, and don’t stay angry about this afternoon. I’ll definitely resolve it well," President Qian said.

In these past years, being a president became increasingly challenging. Being in this position requires prioritizing the hospital’s interests from a broader perspective. But in recent years, he’s found handling these matters increasingly beyond him, possibly due to age.

Reflecting on his nearly forty years in the medical field and almost fifteen years as a president, life’s passage seems swift, like a blink of an eye. When he’d heard others say this, he didn’t take much notice. Yet truly, in the blink of an eye, he’s reached retirement age.

Looking back on his life, besides being a good doctor, he hadn’t experienced other aspects of life. In youth, life seemed exceedingly long. Later on starting a family, he truly felt time flying by quickly; within a year before accomplishing anything, it had already passed.

He admired Xiao Yifei because he saw in him shadows of his younger self. In today’s society, it’s rare to find people dedicated to medicine, with everyone appearing anxious without knowing what they’re anxious about.

Everyone hurriedly moves forward, busy chasing fame and fortune, losing the initial sincerity and innocence in the process.

After work, Xiao Yifei returned home. Seeing him with a worried expression, Tang Rong asked, "What’s wrong? Did someone bully you at the hospital? I’ll sort it out."

"They all bullied me," Xiao Yifei leaned on Tang Rong’s shoulder and said sulkily.

"Really? How did you offend them?" Tang Rong asked.

"I didn’t offend them at all. I work diligently at the hospital every day, but they can’t stand me being too excellent. They think I stole their credit. But I did nothing wrong," Xiao Yifei said with grievance.

"I understand; they’re just jealous of your excellence. It’s common; in places with people, such things happen. The same happens at our company—backstabbing, setting traps behind someone’s back. I’ve gotten used to it," Tang Rong said nonchalantly.

"Has anyone bullied you?" Hearing Tang Rong’s words, Xiao Yifei asked nervously.

"I’m so awesome; who dares bully me!" Tang Rong said, waving her fist.

"No one bullies me because I’m not yet great enough to incite jealousy. Honestly, Xiao Yifei, you’re a good doctor, but I think you’re not suitable for living in such a competitive environment," Tang Rong said.

She knew Xiao Yifei wasn’t adept at handling relationships, only treating everyone he met sincerely, without discerning good from bad. This is a commendable trait, but in society, having it isn’t always advantageous; one might easily walk into traps, not everyone being kind.

"I know; my personality is just like this, not inclined to please others proactively. If I were like Sun Xingyao, perhaps it wouldn’t be this way," Xiao Yifei said, feeling troubled.

Besides feeling angry about the situation, he was also frustrated. Poor relationship management left him feeling defeated, despite being a skilled doctor.

"Alright, let’s stop talking about these bothersome matters. How about we go out to eat something delicious! Tomorrow’s a day off; tonight let’s have a good outing," proposed Xiao Yifei.

Not wanting his issues to dampen Tang Rong’s mood, he considered Tang Rong also worked all day and would be tired upon returning home.

Thus, they went out for dinner. Having a car made it convenient to go where they wished, without worrying about transportation upon returning.

As the car drove out the gate, they saw Shi Miaomiao walking towards them. She saw Xiao Yifei’s car, waved hello, and continued walking.

Then Tang Rong said, "I’ll call her and ask what she wants to eat, and we can bring it back for her."

"Miaomiao, what do you want to eat? We’ll bring it back for you later," Tang Rong asked after dialing.

"No worries, Rong sister, I’ve already eaten. You enjoy your date; don’t bother with me," Shi Miaomiao replied.
