CHAPTER 988: CHAPTER 988 COMPLETE FAILURE

Bai Xiao pursed her lips and smiled. She really hadn’t done anything excessive. At most, she just cycled through the medication a few times and didn’t let Hou Baopu eat it on the spot and get sick. She considered that quite polite already.

With this, Vice Dean Hou can forget about becoming the dean in this lifetime.

This kind of scandal, I guess, can’t be covered up no matter what.

It’s not that she deliberately made a big deal out of it; Vice Dean Hou was the one who insisted that taking these medications was not an issue.

Not treating others with sincerity, claiming to be aiding the poor, yet giving expired medications and broken-down machines while still managing to sound righteous, disregarding human lives; well, let him taste what it’s like to eat expired drugs.

Let’s see how Hou Baopu will continue to undermine senior brother.

Don’t think she couldn’t see it. The reason Dr. Xue hasn’t spoken up is exactly because these people are against her, simply because they don’t want another nationally renowned, technically skilled doctor by senior brother’s side.

These people are willing to resort to manipulation in personnel affairs for their own benefit, sacrificing a talent to fulfill their selfish desires.

So she will make sure Hou Baopu completely loses the ability to compete with senior brother.

All the equipment and drugs were loaded onto the vehicle, and Zhang Huan personally took them to the station.

Of course, originally this task was supposed to be done by Vice Dean Hou.

Unfortunately, Vice Dean Hou is now hiding in his office, refusing to come out.

The hospital’s cleaner and sanitation workers are holding back their disgust while cleaning up the trail left by Vice Dean Hou as he walked.

Otherwise, the entire hospital would probably be shrouded in a foul odor.

Hou Baopu is now almost in tears.

Even though he has already showered, he still feels there seems to be a lingering odor on his body.

He now hides in his office like a panic-stricken mouse, not daring to go out.

One can imagine the looks from all the doctors and nurses in the hospital. He resents Bai Xiao for meddling.

If only they hadn’t insisted on seizing this opportunity with the equipment and medicines, he wouldn’t have foolishly done such a stupid thing.

But what he regrets more is why he had to take that pill.

For whatever reason, ever since he took that pill, he ended up in this shameful scandal.

A dignified vice dean, yet ended up defecating in his pants in public.

And it’s such a disgraceful image for everyone to see, he regrets it.

If he’d known better, why did he need to be so greedy for a bit of money?

For such a small amount of money, he ruined his own future.

There’s no need to seek out the dean — he understands in his heart that he’s likely done for.

He really can’t face staying at Ruiyin any longer; this time he singlehandedly ruined himself.

If he had known this would happen, he would rather die than let such a thing occur today.

Not only is Hou Baopu involved in this, but he himself is completely finished.

Dean Jin was fuming in the office, nearly smashing all the cups.

This Hou Baopu is downright useless and only causes trouble.

I clearly told him not to tamper with the rural medical team this time.

Anyone with half a brain knows that they have already achieved a stage victory, and not a single mistake can be made before it’s fully acknowledged.

Now, even though they’ve sent Director Zhang’s junior sister off, Hou Baopu is also considered over.

She exchanged a pawn for your grand general.

And what gives him a headache is that Hou Baopu can no longer stay at Ruiyin.

In this circumstance, even if he wanted to, he couldn’t possibly place Hou in a significant position again; otherwise, everyone would know this dean hires based on nepotism.

Looks like he’ll have to find a way to transfer Hou Baopu to another hospital.

Dean Jin, thinking of the mess left in Baopu’s hands, worries if a clever and capable person takes over, many things might be uncovered.

But if he doesn’t transfer Baopu, he won’t be able to continue in his role either.

Looks like he’ll have to find a way to promote someone from under Baopu to step up.

Dean Jin squeezed his forehead and temples fiercely.

Throughout his life, he experienced countless battles to reach the position of dean at Modu’s top hospital.

He’s never been this exhausted and headachy before.

He’s truly tired.

This battle, they lost completely.

Baopu’s downfall means Zhang Huan’s strong competitor has disappeared.

Even if he wants to support a student of his, it’s practically impossible in just a few months to elevate someone’s authority and prestige to the highest level. This is a hospital, not a casual government institution.

Without solid professional skills, you can’t just elevate an ordinary doctor to a vice dean position and expect acceptance.

If he treads recklessly, forget Zhang Huan; even the department directors could effectively "consume" him.

Thus, Zhang Huan becoming his successor is already a strong trend.

Now it seems he should focus on cleaning up the mess quickly.

He cannot afford to lose his reputation at the brink of retirement.

It seems this time he truly has to exit the stage.

The next day, Hou Baopu called in sick and never returned to the hospital.

He was in the news everywhere; reports covered the Vice Dean’s disgraceful incident at Ruiyin Hospital’s farewell event.

Hou Baopu has become a scapegoat, everyone turning against him.

Even his son and daughter can’t leave home due to his scandal.

Mainly because whenever they step out, people point and whisper behind their backs.

"That’s the guy who crapped his pants in public, right?"

"Isn’t he the famed vice dean of our hospital?"

"Looks decent enough, how could he do such a thing in public?"

"Yes, it’s utterly shameful."

"That must be Baopu’s son. I think their family might have a gut issue; who knows, maybe next it’ll be his son and daughter messing their pants."

"Don’t say that. It’s embarrassing enough for a boy, but if a girl does it, how can she face anyone later? Who would dare marry her?"

"This time, their whole family is utterly disgraced."

They are so ostracized that Hou Baopu’s family dare not leave home.

His wife nearly strangled him in fury.

She mocked, calling him "Baopu" — "Baopu" like a stinking pile of dog crap.

Meanwhile, Zhang Huan had successfully sent Bai Xiao and the others to the station, and all the equipment and medicines were smoothly loaded onto the train.

Quietly, Zhang Huan asked Bai Xiao, now standing by the carriage after everyone else had boarded to organize things.

"Was this the big drama you were talking about?"

Bai Xiao shook her head, "This time it truly wasn’t my fault; I didn’t do anything sneaky. Even if I had wanted to, think about it. The expired medication was selected by Vice Dean Hou himself, and he randomly chose a bottle. How could I have known he’d pick that one?" She looked completely innocent.

"Alright, no matter what, even if it was a series of coincidences, make sure to work diligently in the other hospital and take care of yourself. I’ll be waiting for your triumphant return. I believe no place can confine your talents," Zhang Huan expressed his confidence in Bai Xiao.

She nodded, feeling lucky in this life to have met many mentors and many people willing to care for her for no reason.

The two parted ways, bidding farewell.
