Chapter 53: Chapter 53: I Really Know How to Do It

Chairman Li had a significant influence in the boardroom, and he was the primary person in charge of selecting outstanding employees this time.

Today’s dinner was initiated by Chairman Li.

Ye Yan felt the gaze from Chairman Li, smiling broadly, but with hidden intentions.

She forcefully withdrew her hand with a polite nod, "This is what I should do."

Chairman Li seemed somewhat dissatisfied with her "inconsiderate" behavior, but with so many people present, he had to save face.

"Xiao Ye, sit here," Chairman Li pulled out the chair beside him.

Everyone was watching, if Ye Yan refused at this moment, she would be disrespecting Chairman Li.

Ye Yan scarcely had "judgment," "Thank you, Chairman Li, my bag is over there, I’ll sit there."

When she came in, she had placed her bag next to a familiar colleague to avoid being forced into social interactions.

She only liked conducting academic research and didn’t enjoy chatting or making awkward conversation with others.

Chairman Li’s face darkened visibly, but he couldn’t force Ye Yan to sit beside him, "Alright, go ahead, you young people have things to talk about."

Ye Yan quietly sat down to the right of Sun Chu.

Sun Chu poured her a glass of water, whispering, "Aren’t you afraid of offending Chairman Li? He has five crucial votes in this selection."

Director Bi had repeatedly instructed her before coming to pay respects to the leaders with a toast and say some flattering words.

If she could be selected as outstanding employee, it would greatly help her advance to the position of associate chief physician—an opportunity not to be missed.

Director Bi knew her personality and temperament, thus he repeatedly emphasized this with deep concern.

Regretfully, he couldn’t make it today due to a patient, otherwise he could have certainly spoken a few words for Ye Yan.

"I’ll compete on my own merits," Ye Yan sipped her water lightly, "Everyone in the hospital is watching the selection of outstanding employees, it’s not something he can manipulate single-handedly."

Sun Chu shrugged his shoulders.

This person was famously aloof and haughty, even those aristocrats in the VIP ward didn’t get a good face from him, let alone Chairman Li.

It wasn’t surprising that Chairman Li faced rejection.

"Look at those over there," Sun Chu nudged Ye Yan’s leg, his gaze drifting toward a certain direction.

The seat Ye Yan didn’t take was now occupied by Bai Chutong, while Zheng Shuangshuang, who was a moment too late, had an ashen face.

This woman deliberately pulled her into conversation, but her eyes were always observing her surroundings, cunning indeed.

Sun Chu chortled, "Just now, they were acting like best friends, yet they turned on each other so quickly."

Ye Yan didn’t respond, continuing to drink water.

Bai Chutong had always tried to compete with her, as if she wouldn’t rest until she surpassed her, and in this selection, she was determined to spare no effort to win the title of outstanding employee.

Both were competing for the position of associate chief physician, whoever received the outstanding employee award would win the title.

Waiters progressively began serving dishes, and people took turns to toast Chairman Li; however, Bai Chutong next to Chairman Li was acting like a co-host, inventively blocking drinks for him, and when she couldn’t, she simply picked up the glass and drank on his behalf, causing a stir among the people.

"The youngest son of Chairman Li is already in the third grade of elementary school," Sun Chu clicked his tongue, "She really knows how to play her cards."

Under the influence of alcohol, Chairman Li’s hand was already on Bai Chutong’s thigh, moving back and forth.

Bai Chutong maintained a smiling face on the surface but felt disgusted inside.

Having seen the real dignitaries in the VIP sections, Chairman Li seemed more repulsive.

But for this evaluation, she still had to accompany him with a smiling face and let him take advantage.

In contrast, Ye Yan neither joked nor toasted; she remained silent as if she was the only person at the party.

"Pretending to be so aloof," Bai Chutong gritted her teeth in hatred.

She didn’t believe Ye Yan didn’t desire the honor; during the exam, she was more earnest than anyone.

Ye Yan’s phone vibrated on the table.

Unprecedentedly, it was a message from Fu Xingzhou.

This man only messaged her when he needed something, while his her messages to him went unanswered.

Fu Xingzhou asked where she was.

Holding her phone, her lips curled up in a smile, yet suddenly she wanted to take revenge on him.

She mimicked him and read without replying.

After a while, the word "Husband" popped up on the screen, startling Ye Yan. She hastily covered her phone, giving Sun Chu, who was gnawing on ribs, quite a scare.

"Did you get an electric shock?" Sun Chu rolled his eyes discontentedly.

"No, I’m going out to take a call."

Pulling out her chair, Ye Yan walked out of the private room quickly.

Chairman Li had been paying attention to her movements. Seeing her walk out, he belched, "I drank too much, going to the restroom."

Ye Yan answered the call, whispering, "Hello."

"Where are you? Why didn’t you reply to my message?" The man’s tone was displeased.

"Hospital dinner today," Ye Yan paused in the stairwell, "Did you go back?"

"No." Fu Xingzhou’s voice was a bit hoarse, sounding a bit moist, "At the casino."

"Did you lose or win?"

Fu Xingzhou seemed surprised; she never used to ask this.

A man’s chuckle came, deep and indulgent, "Do you hope I lose or win?"

"Lose," Ye Yan didn’t realize she was already smiling, "Someone needs to cut you down to size."

"Then Dr. Ye is going to be disappointed. The person who can beat me is probably still a soybean."

"I’m not sure about Mr. Fu’s gambling skills, but his thick skin is certainly unmatched in this world."

Fu Xingzhou, with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes narrowing slightly, "Does Dr. Ye want to come and play?"

"I’m going home after dinner."

"I’ll pick you up. Send me your location."

"No need, I’ll take a taxi." Her colleagues said they’d be drinking, so no one drove.

Besides, how dare she let the big boss pick her up.

"Send the location." The big boss invariably meant what he said.

After hanging up, Ye Yan’s lips pursed slightly, light reflecting in her eyes, casting a gentle ripple.

"Xiao Ye, you’re here." Chairman Li’s breath reeked of alcohol as his corpulent body squeezed into the stairwell, "I’ve been looking for you for a long time."

"Is there something you need, Chairman Li?" Ye Yan took a step back, increasing the distance between them.

"Xiao Ye, I have high hopes for you in this employee excellence award," Chairman Li assessed the woman in front of him with gleeful eyes.

Her beauty and poise could stand out even in the entertainment industry, particularly her cool aura which added a sense of mystery.

Chairman Li was stirred up.

"Thanks for your high regard, Chairman Li, but if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going."

"Wait." Chairman Li reached out to block Ye Yan’s way, "Xiao Ye, although I favor you, our selection is by voting, and I can’t control other people’s votes."

"What are you suggesting, Chairman Li?"

"As you know, I have five votes. Whoever I give my votes to has the highest chance of winning." Chairman Li’s lecherous gaze roamed over Ye Yan’s body unpleasantly like a buzzing fly, "I’ve booked a suite in the hotel, room 1908. I’ll be waiting for you there after dinner. You’re a smart woman, I believe you know what to do."

"I do indeed know what to do." Suddenly, Ye Yan lifted her foot and kicked Chairman Li’s groin. Being a doctor, she knew exactly what force and which spot could cause immense agony.

A scream escaped Chairman Li’s lips as his face turned instantly as purple as a pig’s liver.
