After being separated from my family, I became a darling of the military region thanks to my medical

Administration building, vice president's office.

The door was slammed open from the outside, and Lin Wan ran in crying, slamming the door shut behind her. She didn't even have time to put down her bag before collapsing onto the black leather sofa, her tears soaking a large patch of the collar of her newly bought pink shirt.

Lin Weiguo, wearing reading glasses, was sitting behind his mahogany desk reviewing next month's medical equipment purchase order. Hearing the loud noise, his pen paused, and the ink smeared a black dot on the document.

He took off his reading glasses, walked quickly to the sofa, and looked at his daughter who was crying uncontrollably.

"What's wrong? It's early in the morning, who made you feel wronged?" Lin Weiguo's brows were tightly furrowed. Lin Wan had been happily saying she was going to her new job and make a name for herself before leaving home today, but now she was crying her eyes out.

Lin Wan looked up, her eyes swollen like two walnuts. Sobbing, she recounted what had happened in the office, embellishing the story.

"Dad... that office is no place for a human being! Those two ganged up on me! I was kind enough to help them sort the mail, and they complained that I was too slow, slammed their fists on the table, yelled at me, and told me to get out!" Lin Wan buried her face in the sofa cushions. "Aren't they just taking advantage of Ye Zhen's backing? Ye Zhen is slapping you in the face!"

Lin Weiguo's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened. He paced around the office twice with his hands behind his back, then stopped at the window.

He initially placed Lin Wan in the "Heart of China" office for two reasons: first, to give his daughter a respectable resume, and second, to place one of his own people in a project that the country valued highly. He thought that, out of respect for him as the vice president, even if Ye Zhen disliked Lin Wan, the people working under her would still treat her well.

Unexpectedly, the two girls dared to point at Lin Weiguo's daughters and curse them in public.

This isn't just bullying Lin Wan; it's completely disregarding him, the vice dean!

"Alright, stop crying. Go wash your face by the sink and wait in the office." Lin Weiguo walked to the mahogany coat rack, took down the cadre jacket hanging there, and put it on. As he buttoned it, he said in a cold voice, "I want to see who gave these two people such audacity in this small area of ​​the Beicheng Military Region General Hospital. I'm going to find Zhou Hai. This matter must be settled."

Lin Weiguo opened the door and walked out. Lin Wan watched her father's broad back, and the pent-up frustration in her heart dissipated considerably. She wiped away her tears, touched up her makeup, and thought that with her father in charge, those two arrogant brats would definitely be packing their bags and leaving soon.

Five minutes later, Lin Weiguo knocked on the door of the dean's office.

Zhou Hai was drinking water from an enamel mug when he saw Lin Weiguo enter. He gestured towards the rattan chair opposite him. "Old Lin, have a seat. Did you need something?"

Lin Weiguo did not sit down. He stood in front of his desk, his hands resting on the edge of the table, adopting a businesslike yet heartbroken posture.

"Dean Zhou, there are some things I must mention to you in person today," Lin Weiguo said seriously. "The 'Heart of China' project is a major undertaking for our main hospital this year, representing the image of the military region hospital. But right now, the management at the grassroots level in the office is really chaotic."

Zhou Hai put down his teacup and looked at him through the rising steam. "Oh? How is it chaotic?"

Lin Weiguo straightened up and raised his voice: "There are two young men from the streets in the office now. They're acting arrogantly because they have a personal relationship with Dr. Ye. They're not only interfering with normal mail receiving and sending work, but today they even verbally abused a permanent employee during working hours without cause. This is extremely egregious. I suggest that, for the sake of the project's smooth operation, these two should be removed from the main hospital immediately."

Zhou Hai listened quietly as Lin Weiguo finished speaking his righteous and eloquent words. He neither refuted nor got angry; he simply opened the drawer on his right and rummaged through it for a bit.

He pulled out two thin brown paper file folders and threw them on the table.

"Old Lin, are those two arrogant young men you mentioned named Zhao Lanlan and Gu Yue?" Zhou Hai leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms over his stomach, and looked at Lin Weiguo.

"Yes, it's those two." Lin Weiguo's expression softened when he saw Zhou Hai take out the files, assuming Zhou Hai was going to process the paperwork and expel them on the spot. "Keeping people like that, who have no sense of discipline, is just a menace."

Zhou Hai didn't say anything, but simply pointed a finger and pushed one of the file folders toward Lin Weiguo.

"Open it and take a look."

Lin Weiguo was puzzled. He picked up the file folder and pulled out a page from inside. It was a registration form for seconded personnel.

His eyes froze when they landed on the "Main Family Social Relations" section. It clearly stated: Father: Zhao Gang, Political Commissar of the Southern XX Military Region.

Lin Weiguo felt a chill run down his spine. He swallowed hard, his fingers stiffly turning over another file folder. The handwriting on this page was equally jarring: Father: Gu Jianguo, Commander of the Southern XX Military Region.

The two thin sheets of paper now felt like a thousand pounds in Lin Weiguo's hands.

The office was unusually quiet. Zhou Hai picked up his teacup, stirred the floating tea leaves with the lid, and began to speak slowly and deliberately.

"One is the only daughter of Political Commissar Zhao of the Southern Military Region, and the other is Commander Gu's biological daughter. What did you just say?" Zhou Hai looked at the fine beads of sweat on Lin Weiguo's forehead. "You're going to kick these two out of the main hospital?"

Lin Weiguo felt his legs trembling. His Adam's apple bobbed twice, and the official words he had prepared turned into mush in his throat.

In the military's medical system, rank is everything. He, a vice-director, was considered a figure in the hospital, but compared to those two high-ranking officers who held considerable military power, he wasn't even worthy of carrying their shoes. Those two girls weren't some idle socialites; they were living ancestors who could tear the roof off the main hospital and no one would dare utter a word against them!

"I...this..." Lin Weiguo stammered, feeling suffocated by the cadre jacket. He hurriedly put the two files back into the bag, placed his hands back on the table, and his movements became hurried.

"Dean Zhou...it was my fault for not investigating thoroughly enough and for believing only what my subordinates said." Lin Weiguo lowered his stance to the lowest possible level, afraid that Zhou Hai would relay what he had said today to the two major compounds. "It's normal for young people to have disagreements when working together. That's how you grow through those disagreements."

Zhou Hai snorted coldly and slammed his teacup down on the table. "Old Lin, that office at Huaxia Heart is full of people risking their lives. Those two girls there stay up all night every day opening mail, and they haven't even asked the hospital for a penny more in salary. If your daughter causes trouble as soon as she gets there, and if she loses a patient's file and delays their treatment, will you still be able to keep your job?"

"Yes, yes, Dean Zhou is right. I will definitely give Lin Wan a stern talking-to when I get back."

Lin Weiguo didn't know how he left Zhou Hai's office. He closed the door and walked on the concrete floor of the corridor, feeling his shirt soaked with cold sweat. A gust of cold wind made him feel a chill seep into his bones. He remembered Lin Wan's arrogant complaints and felt a wave of anger wash over him.
