Can't Take My Eyes Off You

C 248-249

The director was on the Qi family's side, they would keep him in the loop, would they not?

Fortunately, the director's answer made Jiang Yao feel more relieved, at the same time, she wanted to see his ability in handling such a matter.

"No, of course not. They are all bound to the employment contract. Unless they can pay the compensation for breach of contract as stated, how can we let them resign so casually? Moreover, we have to arrange handovers for their positions first even if they can pay the compensation," the director said, cold sweat drenching his forehead, he could feel that the young lady was actually angry at that moment.

Only now did Jiang Yao manage a satisfied smile and nodded in response.

"I'm starting to get very busy with my studies, I can be at ease knowing that you are in charge of the hospital's operations," Jiang Yao uttered, conveying her underlying message of entrusting him and having confidence in him. "I won't come here frequently, you can just call me if there's anything. If your performance is excellent, I can assure you that your bonus will be lucrative."

Jiang Yao did not say too much to the director. Sometimes, smart people would be able to intercept and understand the hidden messages without having to reveal too much information. She was certain that the director would be somewhat affected when she used the bonus as a bait.

After seeing Jiang Yao off, a rare relaxed expression appeared on the director's face.

He was over the moon that Jiang Yao entrusted him with the hospital's operations, the bonus was a plus point.

He started off from the position of a regular doctor, he struggled and worked hard to achieve where he was now. Ironically, before he could sit comfortably at the seat, the Qi family had transferred their equity to someone else. Since then, he had been sitting on pins and needles, wondering when he would be scraped from the position.

The two deputy directors had been eyeing his position like two hyenas aiming for their prey because of the major change of the shareholders. They looked forward to his downfall and hoped that they would be selected for the position after buttering the new shareholder up. Luckily, he had made several preparations. He guarded Miss Jiang like a cautious watchdog, preventing those two hyenas from getting close to her.

Jiang Yao could finally heave a sigh of relief after settling all the arrangements.

It had only been two days but even the teachers and students of Nanjiang Medical University had started gossiping about Shengqi Hospital's new shareholder and how the person would cripple the hospital.

Nanjiang Medical University and Shengqi Hospital had a collaboration where they would send many students for internships every year. It would definitely be a loss to the university if the hospital were to close down due to bankruptcy.

Nanjiang Medical University was a private university, but all the shareholders were from extremely wealthy backgrounds. They were willing to spend money on advanced medical equipment, recruit specialists to work at the hospital, and even invite renowned doctors from overseas for seminars and conferences. If Shengqi Hospital were to fall, it would have a great impact on these medical students in the future.

Because of this, Wen Xuehui did not have the time and effort to be upset about Li Ronghui. She whined to Jiang Yao as soon as they returned to the dorm, "What do you think that new shareholder has done to make people lose their trust and interest in the hospital? If Shengqi Hospital really collapses under the management of the new shareholder, then we certainly cannot go there for an internship or even work there!"

Li Yi and Lin Qiaoyu hurriedly joined their conversation, nodding their heads vigorously.

"Yes! I have a relative who works as a nurse in Shengqi Hospital, their salary package is very good. During the college entrance examination, my parents urged me to come to Nanjiang Medical University, hoping that I can join Shengqi Hospital as an intern after graduation followed by formal employment," Li Yi uttered.

Lin Qiaoyu let out a sigh too. "People back in our hometown were so jealous when they heard that Xiaoyi and I are able to work in a hospital located in a big city once we graduate. I didn't know that something like that could happen to Shengqi Hospital when we are just in our first year. How about you, Jiang Yao? Were you aiming for Shengqi Hospital when you first came here?"

"Ah?" Jiang Yao was caught off guard when she was called. She shook her head truthfully. "No, it isn't. The reason I came here is only because it is the closest to my home. As for my future workplace, I will definitely be following my husband. If my husband is still in the North, then I will be working in the North too."

"I shouldn't have asked you this question." Zhou Xiaoxia laughed and smacked Jiang Yao. "Our situation is different for someone like you who has a family."

No one asked Wen Xuehui either. After all, Wen Xuehui's father was the vice-chancellor. If Shengqi Hospital still existed, Wen Xuehui would definitely secure a decent job. She could just enter another hospital if Shengqi Hospital were gone. Even if Wen Xuehui did not want to work with other hospitals, she could just stay in the university, take a postgraduate course to get her doctorate and become a lecturer.

"Do you guys have any idea what's going on? What on earth did the new shareholder do to make everyone so afraid of him? Why are they all saying that the hospital will fall under his care?" Zhou Xiaoxia could not figure out any reason that made sense. "Can a mere shareholder bring such devastating effects upon a hospital?"

"A small shareholder can't do much, but a big one has the privilege to call the shots." Wen Xuehui nodded. "But something's still off, I did not hear about what the new shareholder did that caused all the rumors out there. I only know that Shengqi Hospital is going to close down because of the new shareholder. It seems that no one knows exactly why."

"Sigh..."

Li Yi, Lin Qiaoyu and the others' sighs were heard consecutively. "If my mom finds out about this, she will definitely scold me for not being lucky enough."

Jiang Yao glanced at her roommates with their heads drooping. She only spoke after a long while, "Don't worry guys! I can guarantee that Shengqi Hospital is not going to close down soon, just keep your mind on your studies! We're only in the first year of university, it's too early for us to be worrying about this!"

"How is it too early? Do you know how many people in our school have their eyes locked on a job in Shengqi Hospital?" Zhou Xiaoxia said, "What we have now is something called 'crisis awareness'."

"Exactly! Crisis awareness! As for you, how are you going to guarantee that? You're just making fun of us. Hmph! It's true that there's nothing to worry about for someone who is already married. How nice! You even have your husband to help and do all the thinking for you." Li Xuan was truly slightly jealous of Jiang Yao. She was not surprised that Jiang Yao had nothing to worry about since she came from a wealthy background and her husband was even a soldier. After Jiang Yao graduates, her family would definitely help her to arrange everything about her career and that was the reason why she was not concerned about the future of Shengqi Hospital.

"Of course I can guarantee that! Because I'm the new shareholder of Shengqi Hospital. I'm the one who is going to destroy the hospital, according to you guys..." Jiang Yao pointed her finger at herself. She did not look like she was joking about that.

However, in the eyes of Wen Xuehui and Zhou Xiaoxia, the words that came from the bottom of her heart was treated as merely a joke that she came up with in order to cheer them up.

All of them laughed while punching her softly with their little fists. They only assumed that she was trying to comfort them and did not care much about what she said.

Jiang Yao gawked at her roommates who went back to do their respective things after beating her. She had a gloomy look on her face, a very, very gloomy one. Even when she told them so earnestly and sincerely, no one believed her?

However, when Li Yi and Lin Qiaoyu both got a job in the hospital and saw Jiang Yao at the shareholders' meeting a few years later, they were going to be dumbfounded. By that time, both of them would burst into laughter to the point where they would not even be able to straighten their backs when they recall what happened today as well as Jiang Yao's innocent and gloomy face. But of course, it was something of the future.
