Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

”Treating patients is the primary duty of a doctor, and it shouldn’t matter which floor they’re on.”

Guo Zhiyuan’s veins bulged with anger as he shouted, ”The hospital’s rules clearly assign specific floors. If we follow your logic, the whole hospital will be in chaos!”

”The Royal Hospital is the battlefield for Royal Doctors. As a Royal Doctor, it’s my duty and responsibility to help my gravely ill comrades.” Gu Tong’s words were sharp, implying that the doctors on the second floor lacked medical ethics.

Guo Zhiyuan’s face contorted with fury as he yelled, ”Director Zhao, look at this, this is one of your doctors!”

Zhao Yuanying gave an awkward laugh. Guo Zhiyuan’s uncle was the Dean of the Royal Hospital, and she didn’t want to offend him. Even though Gu Tong was a daughter of the Gu Family, she couldn’t compare to a direct superior. She said, ”This isn’t a big deal... Gu Tong, just apologize to Director Guo, and let’s forget about it.”

She remembered in her past life how Zhang Wenjing had framed her, and Guo Zhiyuan had caused a commotion to protect his trainee doctor. At that time, Gu Tong was too angry to argue, and Zhao Yuanying, wanting to de-escalate the situation, pushed Gu Tong to apologize and write a review. However, it was that review that completely ruined Gu Tong’s reputation at the Royal Hospital.

”An apology isn’t enough; you have to write a review too!” Just an apology could never be enough to calm his anger!

Following the same trajectory as in her past life, Gu Tong let out a cold laugh and glanced at the clock behind her. The time just passed the half-hour mark.

”Actively treating patients and solving their suffering is the sacred duty of a Royal Doctor, and it’s also the Dean’s emphasized concept of humane treatment and care. I don’t think I’ve made a mistake.”

The air in the office froze. No one expected Gu Tong would dare to say such a thing.

’Bang――――’ A fist pounded on the table, causing the tea mug to shake a few times.

Guo Zhiyuan’s face turned livid with anger as he said, ”Don’t think just because you’re the Prince’s daughter, you can act recklessly; this is the Royal Hospital!”

”I give the same words back to Director Guo, don’t assume that because you’re the Dean’s nephew, you can change the comrades’ principles; that’s wrong.”

The two stood in a stalemate, and the scene nearly spiraled out of control.

Zhao Yuanying felt quite embarrassed. She found herself in a dilemma, as it was clear this situation couldn’t be reconciled.

...

”Haha, Earl Li, why are you standing by the door and not coming in?” The Dean of the Royal Hospital, Guo Chengyang, with a hearty laugh, passed through the crack in the door into the silent office. He said, ”Today was unexpected; it nearly delayed a batch of trainees’ treatment. I hope Earl Li is lenient and doesn’t hold it against the young doctors.” He was clearly afraid of Li Yan holding a grudge, so he apologized first.

Li Yan’s face was as cold as ice, showing no expression as he said, ”On the battlefield, delays in treatment are inevitable; our class of trainees understand.”

”Thank you, trainees, for your empathy. You are the country’s heroes...” Guo Chengyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, also fearing to offend the Devil King.

”Hardly heroes; the class of trainees merely know when to show gratitude,” Li Yan’s lips pulled into a smile at the corner, a smile filled with coldness.

Cold sweat started forming on Guo Chengyang; he had just heard, Guo Zhiyuan wanted to discipline Gu Tong and have her write a review as well...

Right after treating a class, then writing a review— if the class of trainees knew about this, they’d probably tear the Royal Hospital’s roof down...

Having just calmed a class’s ire, his own nephew started stirring trouble again, making Guo Chengyang wish he could give him a smack.
