"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"
Wang Yanchao was so angry that his whole body trembled.
"Dr. Zheng, you've had too much to drink!"
With a cold glance at Zheng Wenbo, Ye Xiu coldly remarked. Without waiting for Zheng Wenbo to say anything else, Ye Xiu walked forward and delivered a heavy blow to his neck.
As Ye Xiu's palm struck down, Zheng Wenbo, who had been acting wildly and trying to say something with his mouth wide open, immediately collapsed limply and lost consciousness.
"Director Wang, this kind of person is just babbling nonsense after drinking too much. You don't need to pay any attention to him."
Seeing Zheng Wenbo slump to the ground, Ye Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Wang Yanchao, who was still trembling with anger, and comforted him softly.
"Yes, Director Wang, Dr. Ye is right. This Zheng fellow is just rambling because he's drunk. You don't need to take it to heart."
"That's right, Director Wang, don't be angry. It's not worth getting upset over someone like him who's drunk and talking nonsense."
"... "
The others, relieved to see Zheng Wenbo fall, also chimed in to reassure Wang Yanchao. Even Huang Maoqing spoke up, "Old Wang, forget it. Don't bother with someone like him."
"Hmph!"
Wang Yanchao cast a cold glance at Zheng Wenbo lying on the ground, snorted, and without saying a word, went straight back to his seat.
"Senior colleagues, this was an accident. Let's not dwell on it. Let's continue eating and drinking. Make sure to eat your fill and drink well!"
Ye Xiu smiled at his colleagues in the private room and spoke. Then, glancing at Zheng Wenbo still on the ground, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. He walked over, helped Zheng Wenbo up, and placed him on the sofa on the side of the room, patting him a few times before turning away.
Watching Ye Xiu's actions, the doctors and nurses in the room couldn't help but show a hint of admiration. This Zheng had just insulted Ye Xiu repeatedly, and even insulted Wang Yanchao. Yet Ye Xiu still took the initiative to help him up. His generosity and tolerance were truly admirable. They couldn't imagine themselves doing the same, even if they tried to fake it.
Su Dongmei sighed again. Dr. Ye was really something. If only his medical skills were better. Otherwise, she would have tried to plead with Wang Yanchao to give Ye Xiu another chance. She believed Zheng Wenbo's words just now, thinking Wang Yanchao wanted to get rid of Ye Xiu by sending him to the outpatient department.
Because she knew Wang Yanchao well. He would never tolerate a doctor with poor medical skills in their department. Zheng Wenbo could only stay because his uncle was the hospital president. After tonight, Wang Yanchao probably wouldn't let Zheng Wenbo stay in the department anymore.
But Ye Xiu didn't know what these people were thinking. If he did, he would probably be speechless. He wasn't as kind-hearted as they imagined. He only helped Zheng Wenbo because, firstly, leaving him lying on the ground was not appropriate, and secondly, and most importantly, he wanted to teach Zheng Wenbo a lesson.
Originally, he just wanted to let Zheng Wenbo make a fool of himself after getting drunk. He didn't expect Zheng Wenbo to act so recklessly, causing chaos at the banquet and insulting him and Wang Yanchao repeatedly. This was something Ye Xiu couldn't tolerate.
When he knocked Zheng Wenbo unconscious just now, he decided to give him another lesson, and this time, it would be harsher.
"Why bother with someone like him?"
Seeing Ye Xiu return to the table, Wang Yanchao finally spoke.
"Hehe, no matter what, we're colleagues. Besides, leaving him lying there isn't right."
Ye Xiu chuckled.
"Ah, Ye Xiu, your generosity is really... Here, let's stop talking. Let me toast you, Ye Xiu!"
Wang Yanchao looked at Ye Xiu, who still had a smile on his face, with a hint of sigh in his eyes.
"Yes, Dr. Ye, I have more and more admiration for you, Ye Xiu! Here, let's have a toast!"
Huang Maoqing also raised his glass.
"This... how can I accept this? Two directors, you're making Ye Xiu feel embarrassed."
Seeing the undisguised admiration in their eyes, Ye Xiu felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
After downing the glass of wine in one gulp, Ye Xiu, who was far from being drunk, felt his cheeks flush slightly. The toast and admiration from Wang Yanchao and Huang Maoqing made him feel undeserving.
"Dr. Ye, we toast to you too!"
The other doctors and nurses also raised their glasses to Ye Xiu, regardless of their biases towards him or his imminent departure from the department. At this moment, they sincerely wanted to toast Ye Xiu.
These toasts from the medical staff made Ye Xiu feel even more embarrassed, his cheeks flushing even more.
"Enough, enough, Dr. Ye has already had so much to drink. That's enough, let's just enjoy the meal."
Wang Yanchao didn't know what Ye Xiu was thinking, but seeing his sudden blush, he thought Ye Xiu had drunk too much and quickly stopped the others.
"Dr. Ye, we've toasted you, so just take it easy. We'll drink on our own!"
"That's right, Dr. Ye, just take it easy. We'll drink ourselves!"
"... "
Although they urged Ye Xiu to take it easy, the medical staff felt guilty. Ye Xiu had just toasted each of them in turn, and they were now regretting it.
However, despite their persuasion, Ye Xiu tilted his head back and downed the glass in one go. His alcohol tolerance was enough to handle this amount.
"Dr. Ye, you're really something!"
Seeing Ye Xiu finish the drink, the admiration on the faces of the medical staff was undeniable.
Dr. Ye's alcohol tolerance and character were beyond reproach.
Compared to Zheng Wenbo just now, it was like heaven and earth! There was simply no comparison!
Apart from having a strong background, Zheng Wenbo was nothing compared to Ye Xiu.
Both were returnees, but the difference was staggering.
The medical staff couldn't help but think like this.
