Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Let Me Tell You the Truth

The Dean only had one only son, who acquired a chronic ailment while serving in the military, and it was not until his thirties that he finally had this daughter.

Zeng Qian had been the treasure of the whole family from the moment she was born, doted on by everyone.

Such a small person could issue orders to the whole family, and if anyone did not listen to her, they would be severely reprimanded by Grandpa Dean.

Over time, it became Zeng Qian who truly had the right to speak in the Zeng Family.

She said Ye Yan had a bad character, and the Dean believed her word, directly making a phone call to Vice Dean Fang, forbidding him from hiring Ye Yan.

Vice Dean Fang was completely baffled when he received the call.

Among the recent interviewees, Ye Yan was by far the best, and besides, Ye Yan was one of his students, academically excellent and winning countless awards during his school years.

He was definitely not the man of low character as the Dean repeatedly claimed.

But Vice Dean Fang was only responsible for submitting the list of job applicants, it was still the Dean who truly had the final say.

On one hand, he lamented that the hospital had just let go of such a talent so carelessly; on the other hand, he pondered how to word the phone call to Ye Yan.

He procrastinated until the evening before Ye Yan finally received Vice Dean Fang’s call.

Ye Yan, who had just prepared a bowl of noodles for dinner, excitedly put down her chopsticks.

"Mr. Fang."

Hearing Ye Yan’s voice filled with joy, Vice Dean Fang found the words difficult to say.

He had initially intended to have the Human Resources department directly inform her, but as her mentor, he couldn’t bring himself to be so heartless.

"Xiao Ye, there’s been a temporary adjustment on the hospital’s part, and the position you applied for is no longer short-staffed."

It took Vice Dean Fang all day to come up with this relatively tactful way of rejection.

"What about other departments?"

Vice Dean Fang was momentarily taken aback; he had forgotten that Ye Yan was very talented.

"This... I’ll have another look. I’m getting old and didn’t notice at first." Vice Dean Fang pretended to shuffle through papers: "It’s really unfortunate, but it looks like there isn’t a suitable department for you."

Ye Yan could clearly hear the implication in Vice Dean Fang’s words.

Suppressing her disappointment, she smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Fang, I’ll try other hospitals."

Vice Dean Fang held back further comment, as more words could lead to mistakes, and he quickly hung up the phone.

Ye Yan placed her phone on the dining table and silently began to eat her noodles.

Since Ye Zhun and Fu Xingrui returned to school, the home had clearly become much quieter.

When those two guys were around, they often made her burst into laughter.

Although she had grievances with Fu Xingzhou, through her interactions with Fu Xingrui, she found the young master to be somewhat silly and adorable, with a sense of justice deep in his bones.

As for Ye Zhun, she had nothing to say; her younger brother was strictly supervised by him in terms of diet, saving her quite a bit of worry.

The two were in and out together every day, evidently becoming like close brothers who talked about everything.

Ye Yan thought about the happy moments for a while, and her mood was not so gloomy anymore.

Being rejected by one hospital didn’t matter; Ao City had other hospitals, and she was bound to find a stable job that suited her.

Ye Yan continued sending out resumes while undergoing rehabilitation.

But strangely, those resumes she sent out disappeared like stones into the ocean. She received a clear refusal only from Vice Dean Fang, with no other related calls coming in.

She also took the initiative to inquire by phone, but each time she was told she had been passed over, and when asking for reasons, the line went dead.

Ye Yan was coming out of the rehabilitation room when she bumped into an old acquaintance.

"Ye Yan?" Chai Chen couldn’t believe his eyes. "You’re back?"

Previously, to not involve Chai Chen and Lin Yihang, Ye Yan lied about going to Capital City.

She never expected to meet Chai Chen here; he was a doctor and could tell at a glance that her foot was injured, meaning she could only be here for rehabilitation.

It turns out, the reason for her disappearance for over a month was because she had been injured.

"What happened to your foot, why didn’t you tell me?" Chai Chen was both anxious and heartbroken. "How’s the recovery going?"

Ye Yan laughed: "You’re a gastroenterologist, can you also treat fractures?"

"I can take care of you," Chai Chen said, then realizing too obvious concern, quickly added, "If you fall again, that would be a secondary injury. As your doctor friend, it would be negligent of me."

"My brother comes home every day after school, there’s no problem now." Ye Yan shook her injured foot, the doctor said it should be almost recovered in another week.

She wanted to heal quickly before finding a job so she wouldn’t have to limp at work.

"By the way, what are you doing here?"

Chai Chen lifted the documents in his hand, "The teacher asked me to deliver some things here..."

He was about to ask Ye Yan if she had time for lunch together when her phone rang.

Ye Yan apologized and picked up the call.

Whatever was said on the other end, Ye Yan’s facial expression visibly shifted from anticipation to disappointment.

"May I know the reason? Is it my qualifications, or is it that your hospital doesn’t have a suitable position?"

"Alright, I understand, thank you."

Another rejection call, but at least, the caller was courteous enough to inform her in a timely manner and didn’t leave her waiting in vain.

"Are you looking for a job?" Chai Chen keenly extracted the key information.

When Ye Yan suddenly left from Holy Land Hospital, he was baffled.

With Ye Yan’s professional level and popularity, she would definitely succeed Director Bi someday.

He didn’t expect her to leave without a word.

He had asked Ye Yan about it, and she refused to say, while Director Bi also kept the details private.

With the actual situation unknown, some far-fetched rumors began circulating in the hospital, getting wilder as they spread, until everyone believed them to be true.

"Yes." Ye Yan didn’t deny, "For some reason, I keep hitting walls."

"That’s not right, with your resume and qualifications, major hospitals should be vying for you." Chai Chen puzzled, "Could there be a problem at some point?"

"I don’t know." Ye Yan shook her head. "It doesn’t matter, I can keep looking."

Chai Chen offered a few words of comfort, glanced at his watch, "Do you have time for lunch, shall we eat together?"

"Don’t you have things to do?"

"It won’t take long, just wait for me in the lobby, I’ll be right there."

After delivering the documents, Chai Chen suddenly remembered Ye Yan’s job search.

The hospital’s Human Resources was an acquaintance of his, so it was easy to inquire about the true situation.

"Ye Yan?" Upon hearing this name, Human Resources reacted as if touching upon a taboo subject, "You mean the female doctor from the VIP floor of Holy Land Hospital?"

"Yes, her." Chai Chen sensed an oddness from the Human Resources tone, "She’s excellent, and last year she was even honored as our hospital’s outstanding employee. She was soon to be promoted to associate chief physician. I’ve known you for many years, and I can firmly tell you her medical knowledge is superior to mine."

"I know all the things you’re talking about, they’re all written in the resume. Miss Ye is certainly young and accomplished, but no matter how young or capable, our hospital just can’t hire her." Human Resources glanced around then moved closer to Chai Chen and whispered, "I’ll tell you the truth."
