Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Chapter 313 - 171: Establishing a Relationship, Confronting Professor Wu (Part 2)

"OK!"

Li Jingsheng really sat down at the spot by the door.

Position isn’t gained through words but earned through strength.

He is confident that within a week, he can make Dr. Qin willingly give up the seat.

"I’m also new in the department, so I’ll sit here and work with you from now on!"

Ou Qinglan bit her lip, red as a ripe cherry, packed her things, stood up, and walked straight towards Li Jingsheng.

This move made several doctors start to cheer and applaud.

Dr. Qin’s face turned a bit somber and unpleasant.

He thought there might still be some chances, but now seeing Ou Qinglan walk up to Li Jingsheng in front of their colleagues made his heart shatter.

It was too heart-wrenching.

From the looks of it, it’s clearly a case of mutual affection.

He became an unwanted third wheel.

"Dr. Qin, haven’t you always liked Dr. Ou? If you don’t try hard, she’ll really be taken away by Dr. Li!"

Again, it was the young, thin-faced doctor stirring things up.

He was one of the participants at the drinking party that night, looking to be in his thirty-seven or thirty-eight, at least an attending physician.

But judging from his behavior, he was at most an attending physician.

If he were at a senior level, saying such inflammatory things seems beneath him.

It was quite unsteady.

Since Li Jingsheng arrived, this person had only spoken twice.

The first sentence clarified in public that Li Jingsheng was Ou Qinglan’s boyfriend and then told Dr. Qin to give up his seat.

The second sentence spurred Dr. Qin and Li Jingsheng to compete.

Each sentence was sinister, harboring evil intentions.

Merely trying to provoke the colleagues’ dissatisfaction with Li Jingsheng and isolate him, or even rally others to exclude this newcomer Li Jingsheng.

Moreover, this person was very skillful.

He did not directly intervene but incited conflict between Dr. Qin and Li Jingsheng.

Equivalent to using others, he just needed to fan the flames and stir up trouble from behind.

Office politics exist in every workplace.

In hospitals, it depends; some departments are more united, while others have intense internal strife.

"Dr. Ou, we’ve been colleagues for quite some time, and I believe you must have felt my affection for you. I remember two months ago when you returned to the orthopedic department, I specifically asked if you had a boyfriend, and you said no. Last time, when this Li came to see Doctor Xu to learn bone setting, you didn’t even greet him. This indicates that you’ve known each other for less than a month."

Dr. Qin had a sharp mind.

He easily deduced the duration she had known Li Jingsheng.

After all, doctors were all prodigies.

"What about giving it some more thought? At least give me a fair chance to compete with Dr. Li."

Dr. Qin looked sincerely at Ou Qinglan.

Seeing the woman he secretly loved about to be taken away, Dr. Qin was putting everything on the line.

"Thank you for liking me. You’re outstanding, and I’m sure you can find a girl much better than me."

Ou Qinglan directly handed him a ’nice person card’.

Then she sat right down next to Li Jingsheng.

"I’ve bravely taken the first step, now it’s up to you!"

After sitting down, she winked at Li Jingsheng.

Her long lashes fluttered over her bright, clear eyes.

For a girl, to take this step publicly requires immense courage.

Even Li Jingsheng hadn’t expected her to be so brave.

"Eager to get married?"

Li Jingsheng teased her quietly.

"Say another word and see if I won’t throw something at you?"

She glared angrily at Li Jingsheng.

"Haha, hitting is caring, scolding is love; a few hits may mean something good. For you to be so brave, do I seem like a coward?" Li Jingsheng had indeed felt something for her for a while.

She was just too beautiful, and her family background likely wasn’t ordinary.

At the time, he was still just a small clinic doctor, struggling financially, lagging significantly behind her in every way. So he didn’t dare to have unrealistic thoughts about her.

After all, at twenty-nine, he was no longer a naive young man in his twenties; he had long seen the harsh reality of society.

Now, she had publicly taken a stand before their colleagues.

If he didn’t seize this opportunity, he wouldn’t be a man.

"Qinglan and I, we’re just in the dating phase now; we’ll work hard to make it official. Then, we’ll treat everyone to wedding candies."

Li Jingsheng was officially announcing he was dating her.

"Wow, this is way too sweet! I was considering pursuing Dr. Ou but felt I wasn’t quite up to the task, so I didn’t take that step. I can’t believe such a beautiful woman ended up with Dr. Li."

Xiao Jing jokingly commented.

"Dr. Ou’s credentials are so great; actually considering our Dr. Qin isn’t a bad choice either. Dr. Qin’s family has two houses, both quite spacious, and he’s now the chief resident; next year’s promotion to attending shouldn’t be a problem."

Again, it was that cunning middle-aged doctor stirring the pot.

"I’m just offering some advice from someone experienced, hoping Dr. Ou can live a more comfortable life. Dr. Li, please don’t take offense!"

"No offense, no offense! I’m sure you’re regretting not finding a rich wife to be a live-in son-in-law, just a wild guess, don’t mind if I’m wrong!"

Li Jingsheng replied lightly.

"Uh... hehe, Dr. Li is really humorous."

The man looked embarrassed.

It seemed like Li Jingsheng hit a nerve, and his expression was very unnatural.

"Dr. Ou, if I have the honor to marry you someday, I’d gladly add your name to the property deed."
