Chapter 291: Chapter 290: The Blatant Discrimination

Han Qingxuan: “…”

He suddenly didn’t know what to say and could only pick up the coffee from the table and take a big sip.

After that, Han Qingxuan’s demeanor obviously became much gentler. He not only inquired about Su Niannian’s academic progress but also gave her many pointers.

Until his assistant knocked on the door and came in, “Professor Han, Chi Yan and Su Qing are here to report to you.”

It was then that Han Qingxuan stopped talking.

Su Niannian didn’t want to meet those two, so she stood up and said her goodbyes.

As she reached the door, Su Niannian remembered something and turned around to ask, “By the way, Professor Han, will I also be under your guidance later?”

Han Qingxuan replied, “I’ll have to ask about that.”

Su Niannian: ?

Professor Han needs permission from others to take students?

She was puzzled but didn’t dare to ask more and turned to leave.

Outside the door.

Su Qing and Chi Yan were waiting to enter, and seeing Su Niannian’s puzzled expression as she walked out, Su Qing’s expression inexplicably tightened.

But Chi Yan asked, “Professor Han is so strict, it must be very tense to work with him, right?”

Su Niannian was still thinking about what Professor Han had said and subconsciously shook her head in response, “No, he’s quite amiable. He not only chatted with me to ease my tension but also taught me a lot.”

Chi Yan, Su Qing: ?

However, if Han Qingxuan could be so amiable to Su Niannian, he probably wouldn’t be too harsh on them either.

With a year’s confidence, Chi Yan and Su Qing walked into the office respectfully and greeted Han Qingxuan.

“Hmm.” Han Qingxuan kept a cold face, looking at the documents on the table without even lifting his eyes once, “Whatever you need to do, just ask Assistant Guo directly, and only come to me if you really can’t solve it.”

This cold attitude was far from “amiable.”

Chi Yan and Su Qing felt somewhat displeased.

Su Niannian’s relaxed demeanor just now wasn’t feigned.

Clearly, they were being treated differently by Han Qingxuan.

“Hello, my name is Guo Lin; I will mainly be in charge of you two from now on,” said the man who had registered Su Niannian earlier, greeting them politely.

Su Qing returned the greeting.

Chi Yan cast down her eyes, masking the emotion in her eyes, and also greeted softly.

After Guo Lin led the two out of the office, Chi Yan cautiously asked, “Assistant Guo, did we somehow offend Professor Han?”

“No.” Guo Lin shook his head, “Don’t overthink it. Professor Han is always like this.”

How could they not overthink!

Chi Yan was somewhat frustrated but also knew that asking further would be pointless, so she forcefully held it in, feeling a tightness in her chest.

–

After everyone had left, Han Qingxuan called Chi Gui to discuss how to arrange Su Niannian.

Although the girl was mediocre in qualifications and not very good in her specialty, he was willing to take her on for the sake of Chi Gui.

However, after hearing his words, Chi Gui merely chuckled softly, “I’ll take her on myself. You’ve already done me a great favor by admitting her to Kyoto City Hospital, Professor Han. How could I trouble you further?”

Han Qingxuan quickly assured her it was no trouble.

After hanging up, Han Qingxuan couldn’t help but look out the window.

From this angle, he could just see Su Niannian’s departing figure.

This girl didn’t even know what good fortune she had stumbled upon, being taken under Professor Chi’s wing. Her future path was likely to be a highway to success.

–

Chi Gui took X-rays of her hand injury in the Department of Hand Surgery and sent them to Zhou Wei, then she prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

It was nearing noon, and the hospital cafeteria was bustling with people.

Chi Yan, Su Qing, and Su Haikang also headed to the cafeteria.

Chi Yan and Su Qing had just obtained their internship badges and were scheduled to start their shift in the afternoon. Moreover, the morning’s setbacks had taken a toll on their spirits, so they opted to dine nearby.

Su Haikang was comforting the two when, after turning a corner past the inpatient department, they saw Chi Gui walking toward the cafeteria.

Chi Yan and Su Qing also saw her.

Both of them paused in their steps simultaneously.
