Wen Chi donned his white coat and then opened the door, his face somewhat indifferent, and began to make his rounds as if the incident that had just occurred never happened.
After completing his rounds, it was time for the department to have a meeting.
Five minutes later, Wen Chi arrived at the conference room on the second floor of his office. Inside, a sea of doctors in white coats were chatting quietly. As soon as they saw Wen Chi, everyone simultaneously fell silent.
Wen Chi swept a cold gaze over everyone. The turnout for todayâs meeting was quite full; everyone had taken their seats, seemingly more than usual.
The people present all turned their gazes toward him, but seeing his sour expression, nobody dared to greet him.
Dr. Wenâs aloofness was well-known in the hospital, and today it was even more pronounced.
...
Wen Chi walked straight to the center position and stood there, towering above everyone, surveying the room with a brow that seemed to carry a layer of frost.
âIt is not everyoneâs place to point fingers or judge my wife,â he said.
â¦
His words caused a stir throughout the room; everyone exchanged bewildered looks, feeling rather perplexed. Wasnât this a meeting? Why bring up such matters?
The department head next to him quickly stood up, grabbed him, and whispered, âWeâre in a meeting discussing work-related matters, what are you talking about? This is highly inappropriate.â
Wen Chi turned a deaf ear to the department headâs reprimand, not responding, his stance as resolute as before, his gaze fixed on the crowd, sharp as a sword, as if it could pierce through people.
âWho today threw dirt on my wife, spreading some unpleasant rumors, hmm?â he said.
â¦
Everyone was afraid to so much as breathe, wary of offending him.
And the two interns who had been eagerly gossiping outside his office today were now silent, their heads hung so low they might as well have wished for a crack in the floor to disappear into.
âWhat, now you dare not admit it? Are you cowards?â Wen Chiâs tone had reached the pinnacle of iciness, as if a layer of ice had solidified in the office.
âEnough, letâs all be more mindful in the futureâ¦â
A doctor from the same department, who usually had a good relationship with Wen Chi, tugged at his sleeve, suggesting he calm down. After all, they were all from the same department, seeing each other day in and day out. Causing trouble with colleagues and having a strained relationship would make work difficult to carry on in the future.
Wen Chi patted his colleagueâs hand, signaling him to be patient.
âI apologize for taking up everyoneâs time with this matter today, itâs quite embarrassing; however, this issue has caused trouble for my wife and me. I want to clarify that the video involves my wife Gu Huanhuan and her elder brother Gu Shaoting. Everyone knows heâs the CEO of Gu Group. It was a video from the Gu Group gala, but it has been egregiously misinterpreted. Iâll take legal action to protect her,â he said.
Wen Chi spoke with a resolute force, leaving everyone too intimidated to respond.
One male doctor couldnât stand by any longer, thinking he was summoned for a meeting, only to find out it was about Dr. Wenâs personal matters. Their time was precious, wasnât it?@@novelbin@@
âDr. Wen, we were just chatting casually, with no ill intent. Besides, by now probably everyone in Bin City knows about it. Whatâs the use of questioning us here? Our time is very preciousâ¦â he said.
Before the doctor could finish, Wen Chi glared at him, âI have already said my piece. If I hear it again, it means you are crossing me. Everyone, please be mindful.â
