Chapter 824: Chapter 826: Model Worker

Xiao Yifei thought, did someone make a mistake? I didn’t submit anything, so how did I get selected as advanced without knowing a thing? With this thought, he headed to the dean’s office, only to hear whispers behind him, not loud but perfectly controlled, just enough to be heard clearly by Xiao Yifei.

"No wonder he’s been pretending not to care about the selection these days. Turns out he already had assurance, unlike us, who break our necks and are still ordinary doctors." Two older women standing behind Xiao Yifei said.

They didn’t name names, but Xiao Yifei knew they were talking about him. Xiao Yifei felt wronged, I just found out about this myself, how did I become this way unknowingly, he thought of explaining.

But on second thought, the more he explained, the worse it might seem, besides, it’s not up to him to control their mouths. So he pretended not to hear anything and left.

"Dean, how did I get selected as advanced? I remember I didn’t submit any materials!" Xiao Yifei entered the dean’s office and asked directly.

"What’s the matter? Not happy to be selected as advanced? Do you know how many doctors fight tooth and nail every year for this spot? You should be more appreciative." The dean paused and continued, "Did you forget? I promised you months ago that if you could cure Miss Su Mang, this year’s advanced spot would be yours."

"I came to find you before, but you weren’t there that day, so I helped you submit the materials."

Xiao Yifei remembered that the dean did mention this before, but he had taken it as a joke and forgotten about it. Who would have thought the dean remembered it so clearly? Thinking this, he realized he ought to thank the dean properly.

"Dean, thank you very much for your support. I should find an opportunity to treat you to dinner."

"Sure, you’ve been at the hospital for so long, and we haven’t had a chance to have dinner together, so how about tonight?" The dean suggested.

At this moment, a doctor came in to see the dean, so Xiao Yifei said, "Then, Dean, I’ll wait for you downstairs in the evening, excuse me for now."

After leaving the dean’s office, Xiao Yifei checked each ward again. This time he heard a new rumor.

"I heard Xiao Yifei specifically went to the dean’s office to express his gratitude and is going to treat the dean to dinner tonight!"

"See that, currying favor with the dean is important. We want to curry favor too, but don’t get the chance!"

Hearing these whispers behind his back, Xiao Yifei was furious. He couldn’t understand the appeal of rumors, how they spread faster than bacteria, truly terrifying. It hadn’t even been an hour since he left the dean’s office, and things had already spread this way.

But when others went to the dean’s office, no one talked like this. This time he truly understood what Sun Xingyao meant by ’tall trees catch the wind,’ and he also admired people like Sun Xingyao who were skillful and meticulous in handling interpersonal relationships.

In the afternoon, Sun Xingyao came to see Xiao Yifei again: "Doctor Xiao, congratulations on getting your wish and being selected as advanced. You’ve achieved such feats in just half a year here. It’s remarkable. You have no idea how many people fight for these spots every year. I didn’t expect you’d get it with such ease."

"Director Xiao, you’re flattering me. Although I’ve been here for over half a year, I’ve made significant contributions, so it’s not strange to be selected as advanced. Besides, everything I’ve achieved now is through legitimate efforts, so I’m quite satisfied with my accomplishments."

Since Sun Xingyao kept provoking him, Xiao Yifei didn’t hold back and fired back directly.

"Doctor Xiao, you really aren’t modest at all! I’m treating tonight, would you like to come?" Sun Xingyao still looked provocatively at Xiao Yifei, knowing that he had an appointment with the dean for dinner tonight. Generally, the dean wouldn’t attend large group dinners at the hospital. This essentially presented a dilemma for Xiao Yifei.

"It’s a rare occasion for Director Sun to treat, of course, I’ll go." Xiao Yifei immediately agreed without any hesitation. He also knew Sun Xingyao was deliberately setting a trap for him.

Sun Xingyao had it all planned out. He knew in advance that Xiao Yifei had arranged to dine with the dean tonight, and he scheduled the group dinner for the same night, putting Xiao Yifei in a difficult situation.

Declining the dean was impossible, but refusing Sun Xingyao’s invitation would make others think that Xiao Yifei looked down on them, unwilling to dine with them. But since Xiao Yifei had agreed, he must have a plan.

During the evening gathering, everyone was waiting for Xiao Yifei to show up, and most were guessing that he wouldn’t come, as dining with the dean was more important.

But Xiao Yifei did come, and he brought the dean along. Those who had been at the hospital for a while knew that it had been years since the dean participated in these group dinners.

He had attended once or twice in the past, but afterward, he told everyone not to invite him to such events. Firstly, he’s older, and mingling with people in their thirties and forties feels awkward and out of place.

Moreover, the profession of a doctor is quite demanding, so any time available should be used to relax. After these dinners, they usually go to karaoke, which his body can’t handle. But refusing feels like spoiling everyone’s fun.

Secondly, his identity as a dean might make others feel uneasy when he attends.

Therefore, after attending once or twice, he stopped coming to these gatherings, pushing off every annual dinner and firmly refusing to go. He knew that without him, everyone could enjoy themselves more.

So when they saw Xiao Yifei and the dean walk in together, they were shocked. Sun Xingyao couldn’t believe it. He had been at the hospital long enough but never succeeded in getting the dean to attend such gatherings. Xiao Yifei was something else.

"Dean, we’re really delighted that you could join us today," Sun Xingyao said, offering the best seat at the table to the dean.

The dean waved his hand and said, "It’s just a seat; it doesn’t matter who sits where. Plus, we’re not in the hospital now; don’t treat me like the dean. We’re just a group of friends having dinner, so don’t be reserved. Do whatever you want, eat to your heart’s content. I’ll cover this meal."

The dean randomly chose a seat nearby, and Xiao Yifei sat next to him.

Sun Xingyao was fuming with anger. Initially, he aimed to isolate Xiao Yifei through such a setup, but the result was quite the opposite. Every attempt to trip up Xiao Yifei had failed. He found his luck so poor, perhaps Xiao Yifei was sent by heaven to counter him.
