Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Pride Vanishes

Shen Liguo’s eyes suddenly reddened with anger. He wanted to say something to Mao Yan but hesitated for a long time without uttering a word, eventually turning his head to look at Zhang Changlong instead.

Ever since Zhang Changlong heard Mao Yan’s words, he had stopped paying attention to Tang Weixing and Tan Lan. His eyes were locked steadfastly on Xiao Yifei. If what Mao Yan said was true, then the situation at hand might need to be reassessed.

Zhang Changlong, an insider, naturally knew what kind of behemoth Shangjing People’s Hospital was; such an institution naturally wouldn’t care for petty cash and wouldn’t choose to collaborate with Yanjing Medical University over interests alone.

So, if everything Mao Yan had said was orchestrated by Xiao Yifei, Xiao Yifei’s background must be terrifyingly powerful! Zhang Changlong realized he had misjudged the situation. And the composed Xiao Yifei was giving Zhang Changlong an ominous premonition!

Zhang Changlong turned his head and looked at Shen Liguo with hatred. All of this was Shen Liguo’s doing!

Zhang Changlong, who had suddenly grasped the whole picture, was filled with shock. He then suddenly showed a faint smile and said to Tan Lan, "Principal Tan, since you’ve found a new hospital for internships, and such a good one as Shangjing People’s Hospital at that, our Xin’an Hospital doesn’t have anything to do with it anymore. Our contract can be terminated."

Zhang Changlong no longer had the condescending demeanor from before. He first looked at Xiao Yifei with a friendly gaze, then smilingly said to Tan Lan, "Well then, Principal Tan, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave. Regardless of everything, we’ve worked together before, and I wish you all the best in the future."

After realizing Xiao Yifei was the one behind the collaboration, Zhang Changlong’s attitude toward him changed instantly. Smiling at Xiao Yifei, he said, "Teacher Xiao is truly accomplished at such a young age! I am sincerely embarrassed by my own lack of foresight."

After respectfully uttering this sentence, Zhang Changlong nodded towards Xiao Yifei with a smile, his previous arrogance nowhere to be seen.

"Brother-in-law! This..."

Although Shen Liguo was astonished by everything that had happened, he still found it difficult to accept Zhang Changlong’s sudden change of attitude towards Xiao Yifei, which he found rather unacceptable. Therefore, Shen Liguo’s tone held a hint of dissatisfaction when he spoke to Zhang Changlong.

Who could have known, upon hearing Shen Liguo’s words, Zhang Changlong suddenly turned around, glaring fiercely at Shen Liguo. The murderous look in his eyes made Shen Liguo instinctively shrink his neck. He was used to misbehaving with his brother-in-law’s backing, but now, being glared at viciously by Zhang Changlong, he couldn’t help but panic.

"Principal Tan, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll also take my leave. Regarding the matter with Liguo, since you, Principal Tan, have decided to dismiss him, we certainly won’t say anything further."

When Zhang Changlong didn’t receive a response from Tan Lan, he took the initiative to speak to him, "I’ll take Liguo to sort out the formalities in a moment, don’t worry Principal Tan, we definitely won’t trouble you."

However, Shen Liguo was extremely shocked upon hearing Zhang Changlong’s words. He was filled with surprise and was very unwilling to accept the situation. He had been comfortably teaching at the Clinical Medical College, acting arrogantly wherever he went. And now Zhang Changlong seemed to agree to his dismissal with just a few words. If he really lost his job, what would he do in the future!

"Brother-in-law!"

Shen Liguo, who had always been bullying others by relying on his connection, turned his head to look at Zhang Changlong in the face of this sudden change. Zhang Changlong had not spoken like this before. He had solemnly promised to teach Xiao Yifei a lesson. Yet now, everything had turned out this way.

Zhang Changlong saw Shen Liguo’s reluctant eyes and felt a sudden surge of anger. All the current problems stemmed from Shen Liguo. Not to mention anything else, after terminating the internship contract with Yanjing Medical University, Shen Liguo wouldn’t have any good days left!

Moreover, since Tan Lan had already bluntly stated the situation, it was obviously better to leave sooner rather than later. How could Shen Liguo be so witless!

In the current circumstance, Zhang Changlong only wanted to leave as soon as possible. Remaining there, seeing Xiao Yifei who hadn’t spoken but was radiating an air of mystery, filled Zhang Changlong with worry.

"Shut up! If I tell you to scram, you scram; what’s with all the talk!"

Zhang Changlong turned his head and reprimanded Shen Liguo, then smiled warmly at Xiao Yifei and said to Tan Lan, "President Tan, since everything is clear now, I’ll take my leave!"

After finishing his words, he did not pay any attention to Chu Dechang, who was completely despondent, and turned to leave. Although he was somewhat worried that the situation was turning increasingly unfavorable, Zhang Changlong still had reservations due to his status as the director of Xin’an Hospital. Even though Xin’an Hospital paled in comparison to Shangjing People’s Hospital, Zhang Changlong believed that he could leave without anyone stopping him. Furthermore, he thought that once he was gone, Xiao Yifei wouldn’t be able to do anything to him!

Just as Zhang Changlong, followed by a resentful Shen Liguo, was about to leave, a voice suddenly interrupted Zhang Changlong’s departure.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Finally, Xiao Yifei, who had not made a move until then, finally stepped forward, looking indifferently at Zhang Changlong, who was preparing to go.

Xiao Yifei’s sudden action caused the scene to fall silent for a moment, and both Zhang Changlong and Shen Liguo stopped in their tracks. Chu Dechang lifted his head, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked at Xiao Yifei.

At that time, Tan Lan also turned around, her clear eyes staring straight at Xiao Yifei. Although she had had some superficial exchanges with Xiao Yifei, to be honest, she did not understand him very well. So, she did not know what Xiao Yifei intended to do by stepping forward at this time.

Only Tang Weixing, who understood Xiao Yifei quite well, knew the significance of Xiao Yifei stepping out at the last moment; it was time to settle accounts! He couldn’t help but look at Zhang Changlong and Shen Liguo with sympathy in his eyes and let out a soft sigh.

Although Xiao Yifei appeared indifferent, with a dethatched look in his eyes, his heart was not so calm. He was annoyed that Tan Lan had been too dominant before, stealing all the spotlight.

"How can this be!"

While Xiao Yifei’s eyes were on Zhang Changlong, his mind was already flooded with frustration. It wasn’t that Xiao Yifei was consumed by machismo, but according to his personality, he wasn’t the type to play second fiddle. Not to mention that Xiao Yifei indeed had his own plan for dealing with the issue, but he also couldn’t let Tan Lan stand up for him—that would be too embarrassing!

So, Xiao Yifei decided that no matter what, he couldn’t let Tan Lan hog all the limelight. Additionally, Xiao Yifei also had no intention of letting Zhang Changlong and Shen Liguo off the hook; after all, these two had been targeting him for more than just a day or two!

"Professor Xiao, what’s the matter? Is there something that hasn’t been settled yet?"

Zhang Changlong turned around and said to Xiao Yifei with a smile. Don’t be fooled by how disdainful and insulting Zhang Changlong had been towards Xiao Yifei just a moment ago, calling him ’little bunny.’ Now that he understood some of Xiao Yifei’s background, he changed his face faster than anyone else.

And now, when Zhang Changlong looked at Xiao Yifei, his attitude was filled with friendliness, and his old face bore a friendly smile.

"Although President Tan told you to scram, I didn’t say you could leave, did I?"

Xiao Yifei looked at Zhang Changlong and said lightly.

Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Zhang Changlong’s eyes suddenly narrowed because he sensed that the implication in Xiao Yifei’s speech was far from friendly.
