Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 25: Beautiful Assistant

Xu Xiangbei hurriedly reached out to help the middle-aged man up and said, "Don’t kneel to me, it shortens my lifespan, and I’ll have to give you a red envelope."

The middle-aged man looked at Xu Xiangbei speechlessly.

A red envelope?

It’s not like it’s New Year’s when younger people kneel to their elders, why give a red envelope?

"Miracle doctor, can you give me your phone number so I can contact you if needed?" The middle-aged man crumpled the prescription from Director Tang and threw it in the trash, smiling warmly at Xu Xiangbei.

Xu Xiangbei hesitated for a moment and gave the middle-aged man his phone number.

The middle-aged man left excitedly.

In the consultation room, the atmosphere became awkward.

Tang Hao and Director Tang both looked angry and said nothing.

Three games, best of two out of three, no doubt, Xu Xiangbei won the competition.

"Ahem, now that the result is clear, Mr. Xu should take on the position of director of the Chinese medicine department. Director Tang, do you have anything else to say?"

Director Zhang Fuen looked at Director Tang with a smile.

"Dean, I object."

Director Tang gritted his teeth and said sternly, "This Xu Xiangbei lacks discipline and responsibility, can only come to work at most three days a week. Such a person in the hospital would be a termite, bringing a very bad influence to our hospital. So, I urge you to make a careful decision."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fuen nodded in deep agreement.

Although he hadn’t interacted with Xu Xiangbei for long, it was clear that this Xu Xiangbei’s free-spirited personality wasn’t suitable for the position of director of the Chinese medicine department.

However, Zhang Fuen also had his own calculations.

Xu Xiangbei was highly skilled in medicine, mastering god-like techniques like the miraculous eight needles and the suspended silk pulse diagnosis. As long as they kept him at the First People’s Hospital, it wouldn’t be long before the hospital would become famous throughout the country.

Moreover, Zhang Fuen planned to have young doctors follow Xu Xiangbei around. Learning even one-tenth of Xu Xiangbei’s medical skills would be hugely rewarding.

"Mr. Xu, as long as you can come to work on time, without being late or leaving early, we can sign the contract now."

Zhang Fuen pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I can’t."

Xu Xiangbei rolled his eyes, thinking that working was far less comfortable than sleeping in.

"Uncle..." Zhang Xuesong, afraid that Zhang Fuen might anger Xu Xiangbei, secretly gave a hint.

"How about this, you only need to work three days a week, but you can’t be late or leave early. I’ll be willing to raise your basic salary to fifty thousand yuan. What do you think?"

Zhang Fuen pondered for a moment, gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, he offered Xu Xiangbei a sky-high contract.

"What?! Dean, have you gone crazy? The basic monthly salary alone is fifty thousand yuan? How does this make those of us who have worked hard for decades feel?"

Director Tang got so angry that he stood up from his chair and said, "No way, absolutely not. Although Xu Xiangbei’s medical skills are good, he still has to follow the rules and not dishearten the older employees."

"Exactly, I only earn eight thousand yuan a month right now, and my medical skills aren’t much worse than his. Why should he get so much?"

Tang Hao also argued, feeling very unbalanced inside.

"Hey, you guys are so noisy."

Xu Xiangbei lazily yawned and stood up from his chair, "Sorry, I thought the job of a Chinese medicine department director was sitting in the office reading newspapers, drinking tea, and flirting with young nurses. But you actually want me to personally see patients? Haha, I don’t have time for minor illnesses like headaches and fevers. So, you guys don’t need to fight over this position, I, Lao Zi, am not interested."

Not interested?

Hearing this, Tang Hao’s face turned blue.

What does he mean by not interested?

Mind you, Tang Hao had worked diligently in the hospital for seven or eight years to get the director position of the Chinese medicine department. He waited patiently until the former director retired, giving him a chance to advance. These days, he has been giving gifts and begging everyone, almost kneeling to Dean Zhang Fuen, yet he hasn’t succeeded.

Now Xu Xiangbei, on his first day here, got the director position and said he wasn’t interested?

It’s just infuriating comparing to others.

"What do you mean by this?"

Dean Zhang Fuen was taken aback by this and looked at Xu Xiangbei with a somewhat awkward expression, "Mr. Xu, do you really not want to be the director in our hospital? You should reconsider. This is the dream of many doctors. Besides, the salary and benefits are already very high; many experts are not as well-compensated as you."

Xu Xiangbei shook his head and laughed, "I’m hungry, it’s time for lunch. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way."

Hearing this, Zhang Fuen and Zhang Xuesong exchanged glances and showed a helpless smile.

This guy’s temper is like a rock in a latrine, both stinky and stubborn!

"Mr. Xu, please wait."

Dean Zhang Fuen hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xu Xiangbei, urgently saying, "How about this, I’ll arrange a senior consultant position for you. You don’t have to be in the hospital all the time, just occasionally give some lectures and teach our doctors. As for the salary, it might be slightly lower. Would you be okay with thirty thousand yuan a month?"

Feeling Dean Zhang Fuen’s anxious gaze, Xu Xiangbei earnestly frowned in thought for a while, suddenly looked up, and proposed a very crucial condition, "Does it include meals and accommodation?"

Dean Zhang Fuen almost choked on his water.

A monthly salary of thirty thousand, with only occasional lectures as a task, such a perfect job, where would you find it?

Yet, Xu Xiangbei was hung up on whether it included meals and lodging?

Good grief.

"Mr. Xu, I’m very sorry, meals and accommodations are self-managed. However, the thirty thousand yuan is just the base salary. If there are any difficult diseases or surgeries with very low success rates, we’ll invite you to help solve them, and there will be generous rewards each time."

Dean Zhang Fuen offered another lure.

"Deal."

Xu Xiangbei smiled and nodded, suddenly looking over at Ding Keke, his eyes rolling around, clearing his throat and suggesting earnestly, "Dean, considering that I’m now a senior consultant at the First People’s Hospital, and represent the hospital when working externally, shouldn’t I be assigned a female assistant?"

"Assistant?"

Dean Zhang Fuen was taken aback, quickly realizing, and turned to signal Ding Keke, "Xiao Ding, from today onwards, you don’t need to report to the hospital. Follow Mr. Xu and be his assistant. Whether you manage to pass your internship and get a formal contract depends on your performance."

"I don’t want to...alright."

Upon hearing this, Ding Keke was shocked, instinctively wanting to refuse, but upon hearing Dean Zhang Fuen’s unquestionable tone, she reluctantly nodded and agreed.

There was no choice, despite entering the First People’s Hospital through Tang Hao’s connections, it’s almost impossible to stay permanently.

After all, every nursing student desires to enter the First People’s Hospital, but the elimination rate is too high. Without strong connections, it’s nearly impossible to get formalized.

Tang Hao has hinted more than once that he wanted to take advantage of Ding Keke, using a formal contract as leverage.

Because of this, Ding Keke had often cried quietly at night.

Now, Dean Zhang Fuen offered her a chance to get formalized smoothly—by being Xu Xiangbei’s assistant.

However, this opportunity didn’t seem much better than being used by Tang Hao.

At this point, Dean Zhang Fuen and Zhang Xuesong led Xu Xiangbei to the office, where a contract was placed in front of him to sign.

After the contract was signed, Dean Zhang Fuen arranged a meal to entertain Xu Xiangbei, indicating how much he valued this talent.

Hearing about the meal, Xu Xiangbei happily agreed, and holding Ding Keke’s soft and tender little hand, headed out of the hospital.

"Let go of me!"

Ding Keke hurriedly withdrew her hand, gritting her teeth and saying fiercely to Xu Xiangbei, "You pervert, I warn you, I am a Taekwondo black belt, if you touch me again, I’ll break your leg!"

Xu Xiangbei seemed not to hear Ding Keke’s threat, casually lifted his hand to his nose and sniffed, then commented in euphoria, "Wow, it smells so nice!"

"Dirty rascal!"

Ding Keke’s eyes were teary, almost seeing how miserable her future days were going to be.
