Chapter 840: Chapter 842 More Powerful

The next day, another patient with that disease was admitted to the hospital. Since it’s now understood that this disease is contagious, the patient was isolated. When doctors go in to examine, they must be fully equipped, and after the examination, complete disinfection is required.

The examination process isn’t troublesome at all, but the preventive measures before the examination and the disinfection steps afterwards are enough to leave one drenched in sweat.

Xiao Yifei hadn’t been home for several days. Firstly, he was already exhausted from working at the hospital every day, so he didn’t have the energy to take public transportation. Secondly, he is considered a source of transmission. Even though he’s taken comprehensive preventive measures, there’s always the possibility of mistakes. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to stay in the hospital.

That night he was busy in the hospital until late, planning to wash up and sleep in the hospital’s lounge prepared for them. A call came in — now hardly anyone calls, as WeChat has basically covered every age group.

Usually, the only calls Xiao Yifei receives are from delivery services, so he hesitated to answer this unknown call, and politely said, "Hello," only to hear a particularly familiar voice on the other end.

"Rong Sister, why did you think to call me?" Xiao Yifei was a bit surprised.

"Nothing special, I just wanted to check if you’re okay. I sent you a WeChat message this morning, and you didn’t reply. Hearing you’re okay makes me relieved. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up." Tang Rong explained.

"Hey, don’t hang up yet. I’ve been busy all day and forgot to reply to the WeChat message." Afraid Tang Rong might hang up, Xiao Yifei quickly explained. After that, he didn’t know what to say next, and both were waiting for each other to say something, making the atmosphere quite awkward.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. Sleep early; goodnight." Xiao Yifei was the first to break the silence.

"Okay, goodnight. You rest early too." Tang Rong replied.

Tang Rong hung up and opened her photo album, finding a picture of Xiao Yifei and looking at it closely. Upon inspection, it’s just a silhouette of Xiao Yifei, and the photo isn’t clear, obviously a candid shot. Tang Rong stared at this picture for a long time.

Xiao Yifei wouldn’t know the call from Tang Rong was made after a long mental preparation because he didn’t reply to the WeChat message in the morning. Tang Rong was unsure if he was too busy to see it or didn’t want to reply. If it were the latter, calling would be presumptuous.

Eventually, she called having found a reasonable excuse: as his landlady, she ought to be responsible for his welfare.

She just wanted to hear Xiao Yifei’s voice, feeling it has a special magic, a healing power. Whenever she’s tired, hearing Xiao Yifei’s voice makes her instantly relax.

As for Xiao Yifei, his exhausted mind became alert after the call from Tang Rong, and he couldn’t fall asleep, pondering how clumsy he was earlier for not chatting more with Tang Rong, ending the call awkwardly. What if Tang Rong had more to say?

Although Xiao Yifei is usually smart, he feels his intelligence plummets around Tang Rong, unsure of what to say.

The next day, Xiao Yifei cured the patient’s illness, marking his third successful treatment, making his name frequently mentioned among doctors. Thus, Xiao Yifei truly became widely known.

The number of patients visiting the Chinese Medicine department increased by more than double compared to before. People discussed: "I heard Dr. Xiao was outstanding in school and studied at a renowned medical college overseas."

"After graduation, he returned to his hometown, becoming a famed doctor locally. Then something happened, bringing him to this city. Dr. Xiao is said to be very young, not even thirty years old, truly promising!"

"I heard his family is steeped in medicine, his grandfather a distinguished doctor in Chinese Medicine, so his early excellence is attributed to family influence, raising his starting point above average."

"Have you watched his program about Chinese Medicine? It’s genuinely a well-made show; I’ve gained much medical knowledge from it!"

Sun Xingyao returned from outside, hearing many praising words about Xiao Yifei, without feeling jealousy this time. Through this experience, he realized the gap between him and Xiao Yifei was substantial. This time, he was genuinely convinced.

He proactively approached Xiao Yifei’s office, seeing Xiao Yifei busy with patients, and asked, "Dr. Xiao, is there anything I can help with?"

Xiao Yifei was surprised by Sun Xingyao’s sudden change in attitude, wondering why the previously prideful director spoke so politely suddenly. Nonetheless, he appreciated the change.

Politely, he replied, "Director Sun, given the number of patients, I’ll share half with you."

So Sun Xingyao sat across from Xiao Yifei, and they treated patients together, marking the most harmonious scene since Xiao Yifei joined the hospital, significantly boosting efficiency.

Finally, it was lunchtime, and they went to have lunch in the cafeteria together. Passing doctors were surprised by this scene, knowing Sun Xingyao and Xiao Yifei had been rivals, making their newfound camaraderie astonishing.

During lunch, Sun Xingyao said to Xiao Yifei: "Dr. Xiao, I apologize for any past offenses. I hope you won’t hold a grudge. As the director and you the vice-director, only by working together can our Chinese Medicine department strengthen."

In the morning, Xiao Yifei was diagnosing patients when his turn came for the next patient; Zheng Peng entered. Xiao Yifei was shocked, thinking Zheng Peng should be in detention still. Released so soon? The police’s punishment seemed inadequate!

"How did you get out so quickly? You should have stayed longer. How was it inside, enjoyable?" Xiao Yifei asked sarcastically.

"Dr. Xiao, don’t make fun of me. I’m here for a check-up; who’d have thought a doctor like me has to queue for so long?" Zheng Peng ingratiatingly replied, seeking favor from Lin Xiaoyifei.
