In the afternoon, Zhang Tianhao sat in his outpatient office and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there weren't many patients queuing outside anymore.

"It's so tiring. Who would have thought that seeing a doctor could be so exhausting?"

As he stood up, he stretched and muttered something in dissatisfaction.

"Dr. Wang, you seem tired too? I thought you were made of iron!"

Zhang Tianhao couldn't help but laugh, glancing at Sun Xiaolan beside him before rolling his eyes at her.

"I'm not made of iron, how can I not get tired?"

He walked to the door, glanced at the remaining patients, and gave a wry smile. He then said to the patients, "Everyone, I need to rest for a bit. This workload is really too much for me. I'm still exhausted from this morning. Please wait for me a while."

"It's alright, Dr. Wang, you need to rest, you should rest first!"

"Yes, Dr. Wang, you should go and rest!"

"Yes, Dr. Wang, you've been working so hard, it's perfectly normal to take a few minutes to rest and use the restroom."

Listening to the patients' words, Zhang Tianhao smiled wryly and didn't say much. He simply nodded and went to the restroom on the other side.

There weren't any surgeries this afternoon, just one, which was completed quickly. It wasn't that he didn't have any surgeries, but that another doctor took his place.

Inside the restroom, Zhang Tianhao squatted quietly by a toilet, his mood extremely complicated. After all, he didn't know why the Japanese had suddenly asked him to go to Xinjing to attend a medical exchange meeting.

He was quite annoyed that they didn't even give him a reason.

"Have you heard? Wang Xiaotian was kicked out of the hospital this time. He's not as lucky as he used to be."

"Yeah, I heard someone tipped him off. I just can't stand him. He takes care of most of the surgeries by himself. Does he think we're all useless? Seriously!"

"That's true. He makes money by performing surgeries, while what about us, the other doctors? We really think he's half the hospital's business."

"Hmph, why isn't he going to talk to us? Who does he think he is!"

"Wang Xiaotian is too arrogant. Does he really think he's a miracle doctor? I admit his medical skills are a bit better, but how much better are they than ours?"

"Okay, keep your voice down. It would be really bad if someone heard you. Don't say anything more. Wang Xiaotian was forced out by you guys, so what else is there to say?"

"What's there to be afraid of? How many more days can he stay in the hospital? Honestly!"

“He has taken away most of our hospital’s resources. How are we supposed to live? We also have families to support. By doing this, isn’t he cutting off our source of income?”

"Sigh, you, really, without someone with influence supporting us, how long do you think our hospital can hold on?"

The other voice wasn't loud, but it still carried an overwhelming sense of weariness and helplessness.

"What are you afraid of? How could Dean John possibly let the hospital go bankrupt? You can rest assured. Besides, after so many years, Dean John has probably made enough money."

The other voice, though much quieter, was still full of dissatisfaction and even resentment.

"These are Liu Chunsheng and Ji Mingxuan!"

Zhang Tianhao immediately thought of these two people. He hadn't expected that there would be so many more stories behind the trip to Xinjing for this exchange.

Clearly, Ji Mingxuan was quite dissatisfied with Zhang Tianhao, or rather, many doctors in the hospital were also dissatisfied. His arrival had obviously caused many people to lose their opportunities to make money.

He really didn't want to see his colleagues fighting amongst themselves.

"I thought it was the Japanese who wanted to deal with me. I didn't expect it to be these people. I really don't know if these people are brainless. They just drove me away like that. I really can't understand it. Their brains must be full of water."

They can't see the hospital's difficulties, yet they're still dragging the hospital down; their filial piety is truly outrageous.

At this moment, Zhang Tianhao was speechless.

John had already told him that the entire hospital was on the verge of closing down, especially due to the problem of medication. It was even more difficult to operate without medication. If there was a hospital, things would be fine, but without medication, surgery was out of the question.

Zhang Tianhao rarely prescribes Western medicine, since there are very few Western medicines available, and only traditional Chinese medicine can provide sustained treatment. This is what John told him: use as little Western medicine as possible; otherwise, Zhang Tianhao wouldn't be using so much traditional Chinese medicine.

These people are now mostly using Western medicine, and very few are using traditional Chinese medicine. Naturally, the entire hospital can't withstand the strain caused by these patients.

"Ridiculous, truly ridiculous."

Within a month, or even less, the entire hospital will go out of business, not because it can't operate, but because it will run out of medicine.

He really wanted to laugh at these doctors who were still gloating over their actions.

After straightening his clothes, he walked out of the bathroom, ignoring the two people still whispering to each other, and went to the washbasin to wash his hands.

Standing in the corridor, looking around, apart from a few patients outside his clinic, there was no one else there.

However, the office lights were still on.

"That's not right, why are they all gathered outside my office? Where are the other outpatients?"

He was also a little confused. He hadn't noticed it at first, but now he was paying attention, and he was completely bewildered.

"Xiao Lan, what about the other patients in the outpatient department?"

"Patients? No, there aren't many people at all throughout the day. Most of the other patients are concentrated here, and even the surgeries are assigned by the higher-ups."

"Oh, I see!"

He finally understood, after all, he had really cut off the other doctors' source of income.

With a wry smile, he returned to his office and began seeing patients.

Half an hour later, seeing that there were no more patients outside the door, he made a complaint and then started packing his things.

"I won't be coming tomorrow. As for your salary, go and collect it. Also, your little yard is all tidied up. I'll leave on Saturday, which is the day after tomorrow. Just wait for me to come back."

"Ok!"

Sun Xiaolan understood that there was really no way to say more about this, so she could only agree.

"By the way, how long will this trip take?"

"About a month!"

"A month? That's way too long!"

"The round trip alone would take more than half a month, so it's quite impressive that it was completed this quickly."

"But what will happen to my work here if I'm gone for so long?"

Sun Xiaolan thought for a moment, and said with some reluctance, "I may be assigned to someone else's work, or to a gynecology department or something similar."

"Sigh, just hang in there for now. If you can't keep going, you can go back and rest for a while. It's not a big deal anyway."

"Besides, I'll be back soon, won't I?"

Zhang Tianhao smiled, then pushed his bicycle and left the hospital.

"Come sit up here!"

"it is good!"

Sun Xiaolan got on the bicycle, put her arm around Zhang Tianhao's waist, and watched the bicycle head straight for her home.

"By the way, Dr. Wang, is there something wrong with the hospital? I have a strange feeling about it. Apart from your room, there are hardly any other patients, or rather..." (End of Chapter)
