Chapter 92: Chapter 79: Put Pen to Paper, Sign, Divorce!_5

Earth Wedding Company.

Bei Ran was in a meeting when Su Dingmiao tapped on the table: "Miss Bei..."

"I’m sorry!" Bei Ran collected her thoughts and, seeing that the meeting was over, said, "I was thinking about Grandfather Fu and Granny Ding’s case. If I had tried a bit harder, maybe I could have helped Grandfather Fu leave this world peacefully!"

Su Dingmiao fixed her gaze on her: "That incident didn’t fail because of your ability, but rather due to the hospital’s reasons!"

"The hospital’s reasons?" Bei Ran was puzzled, "Why is that?"

Su Dingmiao explained: "The hospital didn’t prolong the patient’s life, so naturally, we didn’t have the time to work on the case!"

"How can you speak like that about the hospital?" Bei Ran got angry immediately, "The doctors already did their utmost to save Grandfather Fu, but all his indicators had depleted, and the doctors were powerless to reverse that."

Su Dingmiao stared at the subordinate who dared to challenge her, her old face immediately turned unpleasant, "Bei Ran, is that how you should speak?"

Bei Ran was usually very tactful; under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t retort anyone.

But she couldn’t tolerate others blaming the doctors for not trying their best, and faulting the hospital!

"Manager Su, I was rude to you, and that’s my fault!" Bei Ran spoke earnestly, "However, the doctors are indeed very diligent and responsible in saving every life!"

Su Dingmiao snorted: "What’s your relationship with the Doctor?"

What relationship? She used to be the Doctor’s wife, doesn’t that count as the closest relationship?

Bei Ran remembered that she and Gu Qingchen were already divorced. Did it make sense for her to confront her boss over a doctor’s matter? Was it worth it?

There had been rumors a while ago that Bei Ran was someone’s mistress, and naturally, Su Dingmiao had also heard about them.

"I don’t care what your relationship is, but it shouldn’t affect your own work, and definitely not the reputation of the company!" Su Dingmiao said sternly.

Having said her piece, Su Dingmiao walked out. Bei Ran sat for a while before standing up and walking outside.

Bei Ran, who had never failed before, had botched this case, which naturally led to ridicule from her colleagues. And since Tang Baijin had not been to the company to see her recently, this made her colleagues think, probably, that Young Master Tang San had lost interest in Bei Ran.

Office politics are just like this, every day people are constantly sidelined and mocked, with smiling faces up front and stabbing in the back.

Bei Ran wasn’t bothered by her failed case, it was just a pity she couldn’t help the two elders walk hand in hand through the last journey of their lives.

Life’s terminus makes it a one-way trip; nothing can ever be redone.

After getting off work, Bei Ran went to pick up her daughter from school.

Her daughter was pouting and Bei Ran was surprised: "Little Fish, mom is not late today, why aren’t you happy?"

"Zong Zheng brother said he’s going to give up his studies!" Little Fish said sadly, "Mom, as you know, Zong Zheng brother’s biggest desire is to study medicine, but the school said he could only go for internship next year..."

"Isn’t he graduating from medical school this year?" Bei Ran thought the child was quite good, working part-time to pay his tuition, not only completing his studies but also excelling.

Little Fish shook her head: "I don’t know why..."

After taking Little Fish home, Bei Ran then went to the café to find Zong Zheng, who was cleaning up as the shop was about to close.

"Zong Zheng..." Bei Ran walked over, "Can we talk after you’re done?"

Seeing her, Zong Zheng said: "Sister Bei, why are you here?"

"Your internship has been taken away without saying, and you’re being held back a year, what’s going on?" Bei Ran looked at him: "I have complete faith in your academic performance."

Zong Zheng’s eyes reddened with sorrow: "I heard that a rich kid who was supposed to graduate last year, but only managed this year due to poor grades, got sent for the internship, while I, having no family background, must wait until next year... I really wanted to study under Professor Gu this year... if I could work a year earlier, I could alleviate my mother-in-law’s burden... she really hopes for me to become a doctor..."

"You go home and rest first!" Bei Ran said, "Let’s not think about this for now."

"Okay, I know. Sister Bei..." After finishing work, Zong Zheng went home to accompany his mother-in-law.

Walking on the street, Bei Ran was acutely aware of just how important social connections are in this society. No matter how hard you work, no matter how talented you are, without connections, everything is just talk.

She just couldn’t bear to see Zong Zheng and his mother-in-law so upset, especially since his mother-in-law had been kind to her, once taking care of her twin babies.

Bei Ran was someone who deeply understood gratitude!

Therefore, she picked up her phone and browsed through the contacts; the only person she needed to find now was Gu Qingchen!

He was the mentor for this batch of interns, and if he stepped in, everything would be manageable!

But would he help her?

Bei Ran called Gu Qingchen, but he didn’t pick up the phone.

Bei Ran then called the hospital, and the duty nurse said Gu Qingchen was in the operating room.

So, Bei Ran went to his office to wait for him.

Only, Bei Ran didn’t know that Gu Qingchen’s behavior in the office, before and after the divorce, was worlds apart.

She dozed off, feeling someone touching her...
