Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Sitting on Pins and Needles

"Principal Mao..."

When Xiao Yifei approached Mao Yan, he had barely started speaking when Mao Yan immediately interrupted him.

"Teacher Xiao, if you have any instructions, just say the word, and I’ll definitely follow through! Don’t blame me for not recognizing Mount Tai earlier; I was looking down on you with the eyes of a blind dog!"

Before Xiao Yifei could say much more, the previously arrogant and presumptuous Mao Yan instantly belittled himself, leaving Xiao Yifei momentarily stunned and somewhat embarrassed.

"You don’t need to be like this. I just wanted to ask you about the internship. I am bringing a few classes from the Clinical Medical College to Shangjing People’s University for their internship. Does the school have any objections? Nothing inappropriate, I hope, since you are the principal of our college, and I really ought to consult with you on this matter."

Mao Yan, hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, shivered as if struck by a jolt of electricity. His eyes widened as he stared at Xiao Yifei, now realizing that he was truly like a clown performing before Xiao Yifei who didn’t take him seriously at all!

Nevertheless, even so, Mao Yan did not dare to be arrogant in front of Xiao Yifei anymore. Bending over, with a forced smile on his face, he said: "Teacher Xiao, you’re too polite. What principal? I’m just a minor vice-principal. Not worth mentioning at all!"

After Mao Yan shakily finished his sentence, he cautiously turned his head and forced a respectful smile towards the goddess-like Nangong Yun standing beside Xiao Yifei. Having initially entertained the thought of working at Shangjing People’s Hospital, with today’s events, he had completely abandoned that idea; he did not wish to be humiliated again, yet Mao Yan still didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Nangong Yun.

"Dean Nangong, I’ve long admired your renowned reputation! Congratulations on your recent promotion!"

Mao Yan said, bending over to Nangong Yun.

Nangong Yun gave Mao Yan a glance and, without saying a word, returned her focus to Xiao Yifei. By nature, she had a very reserved demeanor and wasn’t too keen on speaking with strangers. Moreover, the keen-minded Nangong Yun acutely sensed that something unpleasant had occurred between Mao Yan and Xiao Yifei, hence she was even less inclined to engage in conversation with Mao Yan.

At Mao Yan’s words, Xiao Yifei’s eyes suddenly widened as he turned to look at Nangong Yun by his side. From Mao Yan’s tone, could there be a surprise?

"Principal Mao, I’m still asking you a question. It’s not very nice to not answer me," Xiao Yifei said with a tone that was half-mocking.

At that moment, Mao Yan was startled by the sound of Xiao Yifei’s voice. He had inadvertently neglected this important person! He cursed his thoughtless self.

Mao Yan quickly turned back with a smile uglier than a cry on his face and said to Xiao Yifei, "Teacher Xiao, rest assured, our college would love to establish a cooperative intent with Shangjing People’s Hospital. In past years, it was Shangjing People’s Hospital that wouldn’t give us the time of day. Having this opportunity is fantastic! Definitely no issue! This is great news! If we could maintain this relationship, it would be wonderful!"

Just as Xiao Yifei was about to respond, Nangong Yun suddenly glared: "When did I ever look down on you? Did I ever say I looked down on you?"

Nangong Yun’s presence made Mao Yan tremble. He didn’t understand what he had done to offend Nangong Yun now, and the current atmosphere was torturous for him!

Fortunately for him, Xiao Yifei came to his rescue. Patting Nangong Yun’s shoulder, Xiao Yifei laughed and said, "Yunyun, it’s okay, he didn’t mean anything else."

After hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Nangong Yun stopped talking, but her eyes still held some dissatisfaction. She didn’t want to be accused of looking down on Xiao Yifei. After all, Xiao Yifei was from Yanjing Medical University, and if someone said they looked down on the university, it was as though they looked down on Xiao Yifei himself.

"So, how are the internship evaluations for the students and the assessment scores for the teachers leading them going to be handled? Is it still going to be issued by Xin’an Hospital?"

Xiao Yifei didn’t continue to dwell on Nangong Yun’s reaction; he looked at Mao Yan and went on.

"No, no! How could that be possible! The scores must have been influenced by wherever one did their internship! There’s no way it came from Xin’an Hospital, what are they compared to the people from Shangjing People’s Hospital!"

Mao Yan waved his hands repeatedly, his face filled with panic. He was truly afraid, worried that Xiao Yifei would find more trouble for him.

"Alright, with your word, I’m relieved."

Xiao Yifei smiled and turned his head, watching as the students followed their teachers and gradually entered the hospital building under the lead of various department chiefs.

At this moment, aside from a stiff smile, Mao Yan’s face could no longer hold any other expression. He felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, finding it unbearable to stay in this place any longer. Bending at the waist and forcing a laugh, he said to Xiao Yifei, "If there’s nothing else, then I’ll be going back! I have to quickly spread this good news back to our hospital!"

Mao Yan now clearly recognized who had the real power in this situation, and he dared not make the same mistake again.

"Oh, alright then, you can go back. Be careful on your way!"

Xiao Yifei said to Mao Yan with a smile.

"Okay, okay!"

Mao Yan bent over, nodding his head continuously, eager to leave this place as soon as possible.

Xiao Yifei watched as Mao Yan made a swift exit, and couldn’t help but shake his head with a laugh. His own attitude had never changed, it was just his change in status that had caused Mao Yan to transform so drastically, and this inevitably made Xiao Yifei reflect on how powerful money and influence could be.

Even as Mao Yan hurried away, he was still filled with trepidation. The Vice-President who had arrived with such an aggressive intent to confront Xiao Yifei was now scurrying away defeated and alone.

At this time, Shen Liguo and Zhang Changlong at Xin’an Hospital had already been completely forgotten, and at the moment, they were smugly preparing their schemes to deal with Xiao Yifei, full of intrigue.

After learning that the internship scores were unlikely to cause any trouble, Xiao Yifei felt relieved. He had truly been afraid that due to his own reasons, he might have inadvertently caused harm to the teachers of his college, but judging by the current situation, it seemed there would be no issues.

At this point, Tang Weixing, who had been standing by Xiao Yifei’s side, finally spoke up. He lifted his head, looked at Xiao Yifei, and said sincerely, "Xiao Yifei, thank you, really."

Xiao Yifei was momentarily stunned by Tang Weixing’s unexpected show of gratitude. He didn’t want to make Tang Weixing feel awkward, so he looked at the man who was well into his fifties and said with a smile, "It’s nothing, nothing at all. Principal Tang, you’re too kind. Go ahead and see how the internship arrangements for our college are going!"

Tang Weixing looked up at Xiao Yifei, his face breaking into a smile, then nodded and slowly headed towards the hospital building.

Tang Weixing was actually under a great deal of pressure. As the Principal of the Clinical Medical College, being coerced by Shen Liguo to the point where he didn’t even have the right to finalize the internship list, and being resented by the Vice-Principal, had caused him considerable distress. But Xiao Yifei had rescued him from this bitter situation, and that was why he thanked Xiao Yifei so earnestly.

If it weren’t for Xiao Yifei, he really wouldn’t know what to do. Lacking decision-making power and authority had been painful for Tang Weixing.

But now things were looking up. With Xiao Yifei around, he had already thought about how he would deal with Shen Liguo after returning. Even if it was just for Xiao Yifei, he needed to give Shen Liguo a piece of his mind!

Defiance filled Tang Weixing’s eyes, and then he walked into the hospital hall. As soon as he entered, the sight in front of him filled him with amazement once again.
