49 - Sold Out

"Did you guys check your email? The hospital is holding a competition during the anniversary celebration?"

Everyone was talking about the competition.

"Oh, the anniversary of the establishment? Yeah, the main competition is for the department, but the winning team will head to Magic City as well. There's also the mock diagnosis competitions for all the residents. The best residents from each year will win free vacation days."

"Gee, who do you think will win?"

"Dr. Yi for first year, Dr. Er for second year, and Dr. San for the third year."

"Are you guys seriously not going to consider Dr. Li?"

"Are you kidding?

"The one that thinks he's above everything?"

"Who is he?"

"You're an internist, so you don't hear much about him. But he's the Nian of the ACS unit. One of the most annoying people you will ever come across. He can catch every single little error. He even talks back to the professors."

"He's considered the boss of the ACS. Funny that he's just a first year. I wonder what they are smoking over there."

As everyone gossiped, Doctor Wei finished his work and looked at the two residents. He was beginning to understand why everyone hated them. An Luchang was a know-it-all who made people feel inadequate and Li Yun simply made people feel like s***. It was like he knew what to say to make people feel guilty about themselves.

"Ah, whatever, another day at work, time to punch out," Dr. Wei lamented and walked away from them.

"What's his problem?" asked An Luchang.

"Mild case of depression," Li Yun replied. "It happens when a person reaches a destination and has no future goals ahead of them."

"Uh..." An Luchang didn't know if Li Yun was being serious. "So, are you going to sign up for the competition?"

"Are you?"

"Yeah, just to test my skill."

"I guess so. Anyone else signing up?"

"Mi Xuan just texted. She said it's annoying, and she would rather work than take a vacation."

"Okay, I'll get the form from Chief Gao."

Li Yun walked down the hallway, heading toward Chief Gao's office. Normally the door was closed, but it was slightly opened, so he entered without knocking.

He regretted it.

"Why did you come in without knocking!" Chief Gao freaked out and threw a pen at the door.

Li Yun dodged the pen, and stared at Chief Gao.

"Chief, your secret is safe with me."

Chief Gao cleared his throat. "I'm just practicing for my daughter."

"Sure you are. What idol dance moves are those? T something boys?"

Chief Gao pretended not to hear Li Yun. "Are you here to sign up for the event?"

"Yeah, An Luchang as well."

"Sure, easy task. I also have something else to talk to you about. How familiar are you with the Da Vinci robot?"

"I have watched around 50 procedures and just a few simulations," Li Yun had used the machine during Chief Lim's lessons, but never on a real person.

"What about the other robotics?"

"Just a few videos on the newer robots, Tianji, Smart S, Remebot, ROSA, TiRobot ."

"You sure have a lot of time on your hands"

Li Yun didn't know how to respond, did he had to take so much abuse? Zuowang took a lot of energy.

"Well, it's good to watch and learn. Do you want to go to the New Medical Technology Symposium?"

Li looked curiously at Doctor Gao.

"Is there something going on in Magic City?"

"Chief Zhang is going there to make some purchases. He will be taking over the Emergency Department soon. He's going to take two residents along, and I recommended you and An Luchang. It wouldn't be a bad idea for you to make some connections over there."

Li Yun nodded. If there was a place that all doctors wanted to end up, it was in Magic city. Li Yun wasn't an exception.

Fatty: What's up with @DaYun lately?

LaoBu: What do you mean?

Fatty: He has been single for six months, that has never happened before.

Ersan: No way, you're right. Ever since high school, he has always managed to find a girlfriend after 3-4 months.

Bufu: *wink emoji*

Ju De: You know something?

Bufu: I don't know much, but maybe Lao Bu knows a bit more about the girl he met at the engagement party.

LaoBu: I have taken a vow of secrecy

Bufu: *giving money* gif

Ju De: *giving money under the table* gif

Ersan: *giving money over the table* gif

Fatty: *giving hugs* gif

Xuxu: you guys have too much time on your hands.

LaoBu: I want money transfer first.

*Xuxu sends money via Bababa pay.*

LaoBu: Thank you mistress Xuxu, money for Xiao Nai's college fund received.

In Qinbei's Hospital, Li Yun had just finished assisting Doctor Hao with an emergency appendectomy.

"F***, what's wrong with these people?" Li Yun cursed as he scrolled through all the chat logs.

His phone rang, on the display was the culprit who was pissing him off.

"What?!"

"Hello to you too," Bu Tao greeted.

"You sold me out!"

"Everyone would have known anyway. That's not important, we caught the guy on the ring finger case."

Li Yun let out a sigh. Since his embarrassing moment was already revealed, it was time to focus on something more important.

"Oh, that's a relief. How did you find him?"

"Ju De went to every single library to scope out."

"He did?"

"He said he wanted a place to study, and going around different libraries wasn't too difficult. He found the guy last week. We arrested him a few days ago."

"How were you able to arrest him without any evidence?"

"Uh…. Ju De stabbed him in the hand with a pen."

"F***! What is the kid thinking?" Li Yun wasn't surprised, but still.

"Well the police got involved. We managed to match up his DNA, and found the fingers hidden in his apartment."

"I'm assuming the prosecution will release the other suspect?" Li Yun asked.

"Yeah, he's lucky we caught the guy."

"Are you calling for a different reason?"

"Yeah, we assumed the first victim was his wife, Jin Wei. He filed a missing person report two years ago and refused to admit any involvement. The parent is requesting that we search for her remains."

"That's going to be tough."

"I am just wondering if you can help with the interrogation? We can't really have Ju De too involved, since, you know."

"Did Ju De's family bail him out?"

"It wasn't that difficult. Ju De said he was scared for his life and it was self defense, so his lawyer easily got him out. It's easier since the guy he attacked is a serial killer. He was barely in the holding cell for an hour."

"Figures."
