Chapter 110: Chapter 110, is this a punishment? It’s clearly a reward!

"If I hadn’t become regular before, they would have tried everything to kick me out of the hospital. But now I’ve become an official doctor, I want to see what tricks they have up their sleeves." Xu Wendong’s face bore a dismissive sneer.

Ding Yao looked worried, "You’re still too young and underestimate human malice. If they really want to harm you, there are many ways to make you wish you were dead."

"When soldiers come, we block them; when water comes, we cover it. It’s no big deal," Xu Wendong said casually, then added, "Sister Ding, I want to get a driver’s license. Do you know which driving school issues them fast?"

Now that he had some money in his pocket, he could totally buy a car for commuting, which was definitely more convenient than taking taxis or buses.

Ding Yao said, "I’m not familiar with driving schools around Qingyuan. You can inquire at a driving school."

Xu Wendong sighed, "I’m just afraid I won’t have time to practice driving at the school."

If Meng Changhai hadn’t been transferred, he wouldn’t have minded skipping work to practice driving. But now Meng Changhai was about to be transferred. From now on, he had to stay in the hospital diligently, without being late or leaving early; otherwise, it would become an excuse for others to make things difficult for him.

Just then, a young nurse came in and politely said, "Doctor Xu, President Liang wants to see you."

Xu Wendong and Ding Yao exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes, clearly not expecting President Liang to look for Xu Wendong at this moment.

Although people tended to neglect old contacts when they left, Meng Changhai hadn’t yet officially left the hospital!

Without thinking too much, he quickly said, "Okay, I’ll head over now."

"Go on, I’ll be waiting here for your good news." Ding Yao cheered Xu Wendong on, but in her heart, she felt a nameless tension, as she didn’t know the purpose behind President Liang’s request to see Xu Wendong at this time.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Come in!"

When he heard Liang Jian’s voice, Xu Wendong opened the door to the vice president’s office, walked in, and politely said, "President Liang, you wanted to see me?"

Liang Jian glanced at Xu Wendong, then said, "During the handover when I met with Dean Meng, I found out that Dean Meng had already made you permanent staff."

"However, Dean Meng’s action is somewhat irregular!"

Xu Wendong’s face revealed no emotion, but he had already guessed that the other party would make a big deal out of this matter.

Changing the subject, Liang Jian suddenly asked, "What’s your ambition?"

Xu Wendong said, "My ambition is to become a glorious people’s doctor."

"Oh, really?" Liang Jian revealed an intriguing smile, "Tell me, why do you want to be a doctor? And why a traditional Chinese doctor?"

Xu Wendong said, "My grandfather was a barefoot doctor, and I grew up living with him. So I planted the dream of becoming a doctor when I was young. Of course, it was also my grandfather’s dream."

Liang Jian suddenly understood and then said, "It’s good for young people to have dreams, and your medical skills are remarkable. However...many people in the hospital have a major grievance against your becoming regular staff. After all, a normal intern becomes regular only after the internship period ends. You’ve just started working a few days, and you’re already permanent staff. This is not conducive to future work!"

Xu Wendong cooperated by asking, "Then what should I do?"

Liang Jian thought for a while and said, "Given that many people are dissatisfied with your becoming regular staff, I’m thinking of giving you some time off. After a while, when there is less talk about you in the hospital, you can come back to work."

Xu Wendong raised an eyebrow. Taking a vacation was a good thing, probably everyone liked it, but not specifying the exact time of the vacation had a hidden implication.

They wanted to put him on ice!

Xu Wendong understood Liang Jian’s intention but did not refute it. Instead, he smiled and said, "I accept all of President Liang’s arrangements and follow your orders!"

Liang Jian showed a look of surprise. He had heard from Zhao Gang that Xu Wendong was a tough nut to crack. Who would have thought this guy would agree so readily?

But that didn’t matter anymore. The important thing was that he had already blocked his future career path and crushed his dream of becoming a doctor.

This move was a psychological blow. Who could resist saying ’Wow’ for such a trick?

"Alright, you can go back. When there is less gossip about you in the hospital, I’ll call you to come back to work," Liang Jian waved his hand.

"Goodbye, President Liang!"

Xu Wendong walked out of Liang Jian’s office with a face full of grief, and upon returning to his office, Ding Yao, full of concern, rushed forward, "What’s wrong? What did President Liang say to you? Is he giving you a hard time?"

Xu Wendong couldn’t hold it any longer and burst into laughter, "President Liang said many people in the hospital are dissatisfied with my becoming regular, so he plans to give me a vacation. He’ll let me back to work when the gossip about me decreases."

Ding Yao quickly asked, "How long is the vacation?"

Xu Wendong, "I guess indefinitely!"

"He’s planning to put you on ice, and you can still laugh? Can’t you have a little sense of crisis?" Ding Yao was anxious, her eyes filled with tears, worried for and reluctant to part with Xu Wendong.

After all, she had gotten used to working closely and connected with him.

Xu Wendong: "Sister Ding, it’s not that I lack a sense of crisis; mainly...I really like this arrangement! Think about it, I’ve just been given a vacation, not revoked my practicing license. I can totally open a clinic outside, so my dream of saving lives as a doctor hasn’t been taken away."

"Besides, I can go learn driving—yes, yes, I have plenty of time to learn to drive now."

"I can do whatever I want without worrying about being late."

"Of course, there are drawbacks, like seeing you won’t be as convenient." At this, a slight disappointment appeared on his face. While vacations had many advantages, there were also disadvantages.

Ding Yao smiled broadly, "Not necessarily. You know where I live; you can always come by. Plus, Qingyuan is not that big, and I can visit you when I have time."

Xu Wendong nodded repeatedly and then bid farewell to Ding Yao. However, he didn’t go home but instead went to Jin Jianyuan’s house in South City. After all, the old man suffered from ankylosing spondylitis and needed treatment. He also inquired about learning to drive at a driving school.

Jin Jianyuan laughed outright upon hearing this, "Learning to drive is easy. A younger relative from my family runs a driving school. Just tell me how many days you want to get your license?"

Xu Wendong was baffled and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the shortest time to get a license?"

Jin Jianyuan, "Take a photo now and send it to the driving school. You could get it by this time tomorrow."

"That’s incredibly efficient!" Xu Wendong exclaimed, "But I don’t know much about driving, at least I need to learn a bit."

"Fine, I’ll give you a contact later. Tomorrow you can go to Sifang Driving School and mention my name."

While the two were chatting, Xu Wendong received a WeChat message from his sister-in-law, Lin Yiren, "Wendong, I’m back from my mother’s place. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Xu Wendong felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation rise in his heart, "Are you going to be alone with your sister-in-law again?"
