Chapter 994: Chapter 994: Hit Someone Again Chapter 994: Chapter 994: Hit Someone Again âHow is the patientâs condition?â Yang Yunlin looked at Luo Ziling but asked Wu Mingyun, who was accompanying him.
Since Wu Mingyun had summoned Luo Ziling yesterday, and successfully alleviated the patientâs condition, Wu Mingyun had been appointed as the person in charge of these resurgent respiratory patients, managing specific affairs and able to mobilize many resources.
Wu Mingyun had also temporarily set aside his duties at the medical school to focus solely on this incident.
Therefore, any leader who visited would seek him out to inquire about the situation.
âReporting to Mayor Yang, all the patientsâ conditions have improved, and there are noticeable changes in their symptoms and vital signs. Zilingâs treatment has been very effective,â Wu Mingyun reported truthfully before praising Luo Ziling, âThank goodness for his help, otherwise we really might not have found a solution. Western medicine does have its shortcomings, especially for some diseases where the causes havenât been fully identified.â
Wu Mingyunâs words were quite artisticâostensibly praising Luo Ziling but actually including himself in the praise.
It was he who had withstood the pressure and strongly recommended Luo Zilingâs involvement; without his strong recommendation, todayâs outcomes might not have been possible.
After hearing what Wu Mingyun had said, Yang Yunlin nodded and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He then asked Luo Ziling, âCan all these patients recover fully?â
âI canât guarantee that everyone can recover fully, as there are always exceptions,â Luo Ziling did not give Yang Yunlin face and said discontentedly, âJust now, some guy was claiming that they had done enough treatment previously and that I just got lucky, so it seems I donât deserve any credit. Iâm actually worried about the what-ifs. If something does go wrong, there will certainly be a bunch of people jumping out to blame me, saying my medical skills are trash and that Iâm endangering the patientsâ lives.â
Luo Zilingâs words made everyone present feel embarrassed.
Nobody could understand how Luo Ziling dared to speak so bluntly in front of an official of Yang Yunlinâs stature.
Yang Yunlin also felt annoyed, but he knew that Luo Ziling was seizing the opportunity to throw a tantrum. However, he did not make a big deal out of it, âI believe in your medical skills, continue treating them. There are many media reporters outside, and after you finish treating them, take some time to speak to them. This will prevent lots of people from speculating.â
âArenât you worried that my reputation will grow, and Iâll gain more respect from people?â Luo Ziling squinted his eyes and retorted.
Yang Yunlinâs expression darkened, but he did not lash out.
The secretary standing by Yang Yunlinâs side saw the change in his facial expression. Being observant was a basic skill for a secretary, and he knew that Yang Yunlin was angry. Luo Zilingâs arrogance had indeed angered him. Therefore, seeing that Yang Yunlin looked disgruntled, he immediately scolded Luo Ziling, âHow do you speak to Mayor Yang?â
âAnd how do you speak to me? Who do you think you are to rebuke me like that?â Seeing Yang Yunlin, Luo Ziling was already displeased. Unexpectedly, Yang Yunlinâs secretary was taking a condescending tone to blame him, which instantly angered him, and he retorted right back, âWhat gives you the right to speak to me like that?â
âYouâŠâ Yang Yunlinâs secretary was nearly choked with rage. He had never been publicly humiliated like this before. As Yang Yunlinâs trusted secretary, wherever he went, he enjoyed othersâ flattery. Today, Luo Ziling had rebuked him right in front of Yang Yunlin.
This was akin to disrespecting Yang Yunlin, the administrative head, so, filled with righteous indignation, he scolded Luo Ziling, âWhere is your leader? Get him out here. Such undisciplined and unorganized behavior must be strictly controlled.â
Luo Ziling laughed mockingly, ignoring the angry secretary and instead asked Yang Yunlin, âWhat do you think if I slapped him out of here?â
âImpudent,â Yang Yunlin also grew angry, giving Luo Ziling a serious look, âYou dare!â
Wu Mingyun, staring dumbfounded at the sudden turn of faces in the meeting room, reacted quickly and immediately drove the others out of the office, even Li Mingxun left at his gesture.
But just as Li Mingxun and the others left, a loud smack rang out.
The secretary, who had just furiously scolded Luo Ziling, covered her face in shock and disbelief as she looked at Luo Ziling.
As Wu Mingyun closed the door and saw Luo Ziling actually raise his hand to slap the haughty secretary, he immediately froze in place.
He was a bit disorganized now, Luo Ziling was incredibly bold, daring to slap his secretary right in front of Yang Yunlin.
In Wu Mingyunâs mind, such an act was completely unimaginable, leaving him unable to react for a while.
Yang Yunlin, of course, was also stunned. That slap, and the blow that landed on his face, shared an uncanny resemblance.
This was his secretary, who often represented him.
Striking a dog to provoke its master, Luo Ziling, in his presence, had slapped his subordinate, essentially tearing up their relationship and humiliating him.
âYou⊠dare to hit me,â the secretary, younger and more impatient than Yang Yunlin, recovered quickly after a moment and furiously shouted, âYouâve gone too far, I must properly deal with you today.â
âSmack!â Another slap sounded, and the secretaryâs other cheek took a hit.
Nobody expected how Luo Ziling had struck, but the slap was so loud and crisp.
Yang Yunlin and Wu Mingyun both stiffened, instinctively wanting to cover their faces, feeling like Luo Ziling had hit them too.
âRelying on the power of your backers,â Luo Ziling, still furious after slapping twice, said, âWhat are you to point fingers at me?â
âZiling, donât be impulsive,â Wu Mingyun was terrified and hurriedly stepped forward to hold back Luo Ziling and hurriedly said to Yang Yunlin, âMayor Yang, Ziling is young and impulsive, and he was just insulted by those doctors; he was angry. It was just a momentary impulse; please be magnanimousâŠâ
âWhat on earth are you trying to do?â Yang Yunlin also lost control of his emotions and roared at Luo Ziling, âAre you also trying to slap me?â
âThe other day, I called Ling Zhengping scum, worse than beasts,â Luo Ziling gave a sarcastic laugh, âWhen Iâve done nothing wrong, I wonât accept any criticism. What is your secretary to scold me while Iâm helping you, preparing to treat someone? Do you officials always stand above the common people scolding others? Donât provoke me; if Iâm angered, I dare to hit anyone.â
âYou are a madman. Iâm telling you if you dare to join forces with Qingyin and Qingye again, believe me or not, I will break your legs?â Yang Yunlin was completely infuriated by Luo Ziling, he pointed at Luo Ziling and roared furiously, âI mean what I say.â
âI insist on doubting it,â Luo Ziling looked disdainfully at the angry Yang Yunlin, âI also donât believe the mayor would tear up our relationship at this moment. You should know, Iâm helping you get rid of trouble!â
Finally realizing what was going on, Wu Mingyun, drenched in sweat, knew it was inappropriate to stay in the office any longer, immediately grabbed the beaten secretaryâs clothes, and directly dragged him out of the office, leaving Luo Ziling and Yang Yunlin alone in the office.
