Chapter 1

Qingyuan City First People's Hospital.

At 8 o'clock, the hospital's inpatient department is usually very busy. At this time, doctors often make their rounds, asking patients about their conditions from the previous day and recording them.

It is now summer, and this is often when the most interns are present, and this year is no exception.

Ye Haoxuan is also one of the interns. The Qingyuan City First People's Hospital is the best hospital in Qingyuan, and even to intern here, one needs connections. If it weren't for his excellent academic performance, he wouldn't have been one of the few selected.

Because of this hard-won learning opportunity, Ye Haoxuan is more serious than anyone else. He follows Dr. Xu, holding a medical record book and diligently taking notes.

At this moment, the head nurse rushes into the ward in a panic and calls out, "Dr. Xu, it's not good! The patient in Room 18 has started to have an episode and is now unconscious."

Dr. Xu, who is already middle-aged, frowns and, without further ado, immediately runs out. Ye Haoxuan and several other interns from his school quickly follow.

The patient in Room 18 has a severe renal cyst, and was admitted for observation just a few days ago. The cyst has already caused urinary obstruction and requires surgery. However, there are too many surgeries scheduled, and the chief surgeon is fully booked.

When they arrive, the patient in Room 18 has already fainted. Dr. Xu quickly examines his pupils and, after a brief check, urgently calls out to Ye Haoxuan, "Go and get Director Liu immediately."

Ye Haoxuan nods and quickly hands the medical record to another intern before rushing to the office as fast as he can.

When he reaches the office, he unexpectedly finds the door tightly closed.

It is now working hours, and the office door is usually only slightly ajar. He gently pushes it, but it doesn't budge, clearly locked from the inside.

Although he finds it strange, with a life at stake, there is no time to waste. Director Liu is an authority in nephrology, and the patient in Room 18 is in a critical condition. Only Director Liu can make the decision. Ye Haoxuan raises his hand to knock on the door.

However, through the lacy glass on the door, Ye Haoxuan is stunned.

On the desk, there is a paper package, bulging and clearly containing a large amount of cash, probably close to ten thousand yuan.

On the other side of the desk, a young woman is pleading desperately.

"Director Liu, I beg you. You know my husband's condition; it can't be delayed any longer. Can you please help and schedule his surgery sooner?"

Ye Haoxuan's expression tightens. The hospital strictly prohibits accepting red envelopes from patients. Does Director Liu not know this?

On the other side of the desk, Director Liu glances at the thick red envelope and says with a smile, "It's not that I don't want to help, but the surgery schedule is too full. This amount of money... you should take it back."

In other words, the woman's red envelope is not enough.

The woman is the wife of the patient in Room 18. Her husband has been ill for a long time, and they have several children to support. Their financial situation is already tight, and this ten thousand yuan was hard-earned. Despite Director Liu's seemingly kind appearance, he turns out to be a heartless doctor.

The woman pleads, "Director Liu, I really can't come up with more. My husband's treatment has already drained all our savings. Please, have mercy..."

Director Liu slowly stands up and says with a smile, "Don't worry, there's always a solution. I can perform the surgery without the red envelope and even reduce some of the hospital fees, but how will you repay me?"

As he speaks, Director Liu's hand unconsciously rests on the woman's shoulder, then slides down to her white neck, and continues to move down her collar.

"Director Liu, no... no," the woman is startled, her face turning red as she tries to push him away.

Director Liu's expression darkens, and he says, "Do you want your husband to live?"

The woman is taken aback, thinking of her husband in the hospital bed, and tears fall from her eyes. In that moment, Director Liu's hairy hand immediately slides into her collar, and his other hand lifts her skirt and slips inside.

"No... no," the woman instinctively resists, but she fears angering Director Liu and having her husband's treatment delayed. Her husband's condition is severe, and he has multiple complications; he cannot afford any delay.

The woman's half-hearted resistance only excites Director Liu more. His face flushes, and he breathes heavily, saying, "Your husband with kidney disease probably can't get it up anymore. What a waste of such a good field..."

With a soft pop, the button on the woman's blouse falls off, revealing a large expanse of white skin.

"No..." the woman is filled with shame and anger.

Seeing Director Liu's despicable behavior, Ye Haoxuan clenches his fists. This Director Liu is truly a scoundrel, taking advantage of people in distress and being a lecher. No, he can't let this lecher succeed.

Ye Haoxuan lightly coughs and knocks on the door.

Director Liu, who was busy with his advances, is startled and quickly stands up, putting the red envelope in his white coat.

Ye Haoxuan pushes the door open, and the woman, who has already tidied her clothes, gives him a grateful look and hurriedly leaves.

"What is it? How long have you been here?" Director Liu is both surprised and angry at being interrupted, but he feels relieved when he sees that the person is Ye Haoxuan, who has no connections.

Ye Haoxuan says calmly, "I've been here for a while. The patient in Room 18 is in serious condition. Director Liu, you should go and see him." Ye Haoxuan is essentially reminding Director Liu that he has seen the red envelope and should treat the patient properly.

Hearing this, Director Liu's face darkens. He realizes that Ye Haoxuan has seen what happened and coldly snorts before turning to leave.

That morning, Director Liu added an extra surgery and performed it on the patient in Room 18.

In the afternoon, as soon as work starts, an intern tells Ye Haoxuan, "Ye Haoxuan, Director Liu is looking for you."

Ye Haoxuan's heart sinks, knowing that Director Liu is about to cause him trouble. He responds and heads to the office.

"Xiao Ye, you've been doing well, and your academic performance is excellent. There's not much more I can teach you here. Go and help in other wards for a few days," Director Liu says.

Ye Haoxuan nods and says, "Sure, I'll follow Director Liu's arrangements."

"Go to the outpatient infusion hall for a few days."

"The infusion hall?" Despite being mentally prepared, Ye Haoxuan is still surprised. He asks, "What can I do in the infusion hall?"

"It's like this. There are many outpatient patients these days, and the nurses in the infusion hall are overwhelmed. Go and help for a few days, and you'll be back soon," Director Liu says calmly.

Ye Haoxuan clenches his fists. Director Liu is trying to make his life difficult, but he can't argue. If he does, Director Liu will say he is insubordinate, and it will be recorded in his internship file, making it hard to find a job after graduation.
