Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082 Hitching a Ride
Yu Shaoyan hastily greeted everyone, preparing to rush off to find Bai Xiao.
Currently, Bai Xiao is at work and immediately notices Dean Jin almost trying to flee in a panic, feeling puzzled since there is no conflict of interest with Dean Jin, why would he run away at the sight of him?
"Dean Jin! Wait for me!"
Yu Shaoyan had already shaken off the few deans who were trailing behind him trying to make small talk. Having a meal can wait, but the confusion in his heart cannot.
Dean Jin awkwardly stops, as he was just trying to take advantage of the chaos to slip away and go back to deal with the aftermath.
Looking at Yu Shaoyan, it’s clear he doesn’t know yet that Bai Xiao has been transferred to the Urology Department by him.
Now he must go back and patch things up.
Transferring the niece of a high-ranking official from the health department to the Urology Department, he thinks that his own children are doomed, thanks to their father’s blunder.
Last time he criticized Hou Baopu for being unreliable, yet now he’s staged such a drama at his old age.
If he doesn’t clean this up quickly, is he waiting for Bai Xiao to complain?
But now he’s been cornered.
"Director Yu, oh no, Secretary Yu, congratulations, congratulations! Truly, the clouds have parted and the moon is visible. Congratulations on your promotion."
At this moment, the courtesy was laid on thick without a care.
Yu Shaoyan looked at Dean Jin, his expression was not good, wondering if something had happened.
"Dean Jin, thank you, thank you, what’s going on with you now..."
"There are some urgent matters in the hospital that need handling, I’m rushing back. Originally, with Secretary Yu’s new appointment, I should have treated you to a meal to celebrate, but today’s affairs cannot wait. Another day! I will personally come to invite you for a meal, hoping you won’t decline."
Dean Jin could hardly wait to run back now.
"You want to go back to the hospital! Just as well, I also need to go to your Ruiyin, let’s go together, Dean Jin, give me a ride!" Yu Shaoyan wanted to inquire about Bai Xiao.
Dean Jin shivered.
Does this mean... Yu Shaoyan knows?
"What’s wrong, Dean Jin, you seem unwell. Your face looks awful; have you caught a cold or are you just exhausted?" Yu Shaoyan watches as a single sentence causes Dean Jin’s face to turn snow white, almost fainting, confused as to why someone this sick would come out to attend a meeting, really pushing themselves too hard.
Dean Jin gritted his teeth, seeing that Yu Shaoyan didn’t seem like he was deliberately provoking him, meaning he truly didn’t know about Bai Xiao.
"I’m fine, I’m fine, Secretary Yu, with your new appointment, I understand how busy you must be. Why don’t you visit Ruiyin another day for guidance, so I can prepare at the hospital and not give poor hospitality to the leadership."
Yu Shaoyan shook his head, "No need! I’m just going purely for personal reasons, not to study, inspect, or guide, and certainly not to supervise, so rest assured. Why do I feel like you’re not keen on letting me ride with you?"
If it’s really inconvenient, we have our own car, Xiaoli can arrange it for us."
Dean Jin hastily shook his head, "Why wouldn’t I welcome you! Welcome Secretary Yu to Ruiyin! Let’s go then, going to Ruiyin, how could I let you ride your own car, that would disgrace me. Let’s go!" Leading Yu Shaoyan, full of bitter smiles inside.
This is really unlucky.
As the group heads downstairs, arousing the envy of everyone.
Someone asked Dean Gao, "Old Gao, since when did Old Jin get so close to Secretary Yu? Never saw that coming!"
"How would I know! But I’ve heard that Secretary Yu’s niece is interning at Ruiyin, probably because of that!"
There are still a bit of envy in their hearts.
After all, with Secretary Yu newly appointed, Old Jin can get along well with him; even if he retires, it will leave his children with connections.
Secretary Yu would also appreciate it.
"Old Jin is really quick. Envy, jealousy..."
"What’s there to envy! Even if you envy, he’s going to retire soon."
"Seems like none of us can match Old Jin’s cleverness."
Everyone laughed it off and dispersed.
Who would know that Dean Jin is now sitting in the car on pins and needles.
On one hand, having to engage in conversation with Yu Shaoyan, on the other hand, thinking about how to resolve this issue.
Just now, he discreetly instructed his secretary Xiaozhang to take a taxi back first and quickly get Bai Xiao out of the Urology Department, whatever the excuse, just smoothly get her out. It must be resolved before Secretary Yu arrives.
Now looking at the traffic lights, he wishes for more red lights, hoping for a bit of traffic jam. Never has there been a time when Dean Jin felt more anxious.
Unfortunately, the traffic lights seemed to be against him; the usual traffic-jammed road was smooth today, encountering only a few red lights, almost a smooth ride to the entrance of Ruiyin.
With his heart pounding, Dean Jin hoped the secretary had handled it; otherwise, he was doomed today.
Not seeing Xiaozhang’s figure, Dean Jin had to politely lead Secretary Yu to his office.
Yu Shaoyan waved his hand, "Old Jin, I’m not here for an inspection, just on personal business. Want to see someone, you go ahead, once I’m done, I’ll come find you. Didn’t you say you’ll treat me? Today I’m insisting."
He wasn’t there for Dean Jin, not wanting to waste his time.
If not for the unresolved confusion gnawing at him, causing loss of appetite, he should be dealing with many issues in his office, as a newly appointed official has plenty on his plate.
Dean Jin’s face changed, hastily, "Who do you want to see? It would be convenient to go to my office, I can bring them over."
Might as well say it’s Bai Xiao.
Yu Shaoyan chuckled, "No need for such hassle! I can go by myself! I know which department she’s in, no need to trouble you." Heading straight to the emergency room.
Dean Jin was so scared he almost lost his footing.
"Secretary Yu, Secretary Yu, please wait, still better come to the office first, I’ll get someone to come to you!"
But Yu Shaoyan’s urgency made him walk fast, the secretary leading the way, in a few strides, they reached the entrance of the emergency room, since it was conveniently located on the first floor, easy to find.
"Nurse, I’d like to find Doctor Bai Xiao! Tell her her uncle is looking for her!" Yu Shaoyan grabbed a nurse and said, seeing so many people busy, he couldn’t spot Bai Xiao after looking around, thus seeking assistance.
The nurse paused, the young nurse didn’t see Dean Jin, mainly because the emergency room had been busy with over ten emergency patients since early morning! The emergency room was already bustling, and now getting stopped, her tone was not great.
"Comrade, the Doctor Bai you’re looking for isn’t here, you should go to the Urology Department to find her! We’re busy here."
She said while trying to push past Yu Shaoyan.
Yu Shaoyan tightened his grip.
"What? Urology? Isn’t she in the emergency room?"
The nurse pouted, "Doctor Bai was transferred to the Urology Department the day before yesterday, you can definitely find her there! Let go, you’re hurting me."
Yu Shaoyan’s face turned cold.
Turning back, he looked icily at Dean Jin, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat.
