Chapter 108 Behaving Strangely (1/2)

Li Xiuying indicated for Wu Quon to enter the theater: ”Scrub up.” She then faced Mao Yi Hui again.

Li Xiuiyng: ”Apologies, you were timetabled in error.”

Mao Yi Hui: ”What do you mean Dr Li? I spoke to Jiang Huan and she assured me that I would be fine to assist you in theaters today. She hasn't contacted me to say otherwise.” Actually, Jiang Huan had contacted Mao Yi Hui via voicemail, messaging and email; he just had no qualms about throwing her under the bus.

Li Xiuying: ”Only 1 resident today.” Jiang Huan is more incompetent than had initially thought.

Mao Yi Hui: ”I'll tell the other resident to leave then.”

Li Xiuying frown deepened this person was being deliberately obtuse. She spoke coldly: ”No. He will stay.”

Mao Yi Hui looked at Li Xiuying incredulously: ”Wait Dr Li let me understand this. Are you saying that you will allow the first year resident to stay but you're asking me; a third year surgical resident who is interested in upper GI surgery to leave?”

Li Xiuying nodded.

Mao Yi Hui: ”This must be your idea of a joke right? That doesn't even make sense. Doesn't my seniority count for anything?” Is this woman actually daring to reject him?

Mao Yi Hui suddenly had an epiphany: ”Oh I get it. You don't know who I am. And you must not know who my father is right? Let me tell you, my father is on the board of directors. He gives generous yearly donations to this hospital in fact there's even a cardiology suite named after him. Now that you know who I am, I think we will be able to proceed smoothly. I will go and tell that other guy to leave. I look forward to working with you today Dr Li.” He gave a condescending smile to Dr Li before gesturing for her to enter the theater first.

Li Xiuying quirk a brow on hearing Mao Yi Hui's words: ”No” She was thinking about the connections of Jiang Huan's handler and Unity hospital; clearly they ran deep if he had ties with one of the directors of Unity hospital.

A few staff members were now standing around and watching the scene unfold with rapt interest.

Mao Yi Hui smirk disappeared: ”What? No? Were you not listening to me a moment ago? My father is on the board of directors. You know what my throat is dry from talking to you so much. I'll call my Father right now.” He wanted to put Li Xiuiyng in her place; she was blatantly disrespecting him on his own turf. The only reason why she hadn't lost her job already was because he still had uses for her. Having experience with her would greatly enhance his portfolio. So he had to put her in her place now in order for her to be more well behaved in the future.

Mao Yi Hui began tapping away at his phone intending to talk to his father.

Li Xiuying took out her phone and scrolled to Elder Qin's phone number: 'Who doesn't know someone on the board of directors?'

She waited and listened to the phone ringing.

Little 4th: ”Hello.”

Li Xiuying was surprised to hear Little 4th's voice: ”Little 4th?”

Little 4th's voice was somber: ”Yes.”

Li Xiuying could sense Little 4th was upset with her, she realized that she had been quite negligent.She tried to placate him:”Little 4th are you free this weekend? Why don't we go to the park?”

The staff members that heard Li Xiuying on the phone were confused 'Why is Dr Li talking about the park? Why does she look oddly happy? Where's the blood shed? Where's the drama and destruction?! Wasn't she calling for reinforcements?'

Little 4th voice radiated happiness and excitement: ”Really?! What time? What day? Which park? Can we have a picnic? Is it just you and me?”

Li Xiuiyng smiled a little: ”Surprise.”

Little 4th: ”Okay Big sister YingYing you can't forget me like you did the last few days. I was waiting all this time for you. I thought you had forgotten all about me. I was so worried when I didn't even receive a single small, message.”He sounded like an abandoned little wife complaining.

Li Xiuying: ”Sorry.”

Little 4th: ”Big sister YingYing you can't forget about me in the future okay? Oh I'll make sure I tell my mommy to get me a phone today. You'll be able to reach me directly from now on and I can message you anytime too. We can even video chat and send voice notes and...”

Li Xiuying gently interrupted little 4th: ”That's a great idea. Little 4th is your father there? I have some important business to discuss.” Although she wanted to talk to Little 4th a little more; time was tight right now.

Little 4th: ”Daddy forgot his phone at home today. Are you in trouble? Do you need me? I can miss school. I can give the phone to mommy?... Hey! Why did ...”
