Chapter 568: Rumors Spread

As Bai Zhi was about to leave, Dean Liu stood up and said with a smile, "Dr. Bai, we will give your idea a good consideration."

Bai Zhi felt much more relaxed after leaving Dean Liu's office. She had originally planned to talk to the hospital leaders about this matter later, but she didn't expect to have such an opportunity today.

Although she didn't know whether Dean Liu would agree to her suggestion, she believed that Dean Liu and Director Zheng were both very farsighted and that they would probably have reservations if she were to establish the medical studio in her name.

But she brought up her maternal grandfather, Ye Rufeng, and one can imagine how tempting that was for people in the industry.

If Ye Rufeng were willing to establish his own medical studio in the military hospital to treat critically ill patients, it would be entirely beneficial to the hospital.

She believed that Dean Liu would give it a serious consideration.

When Bai Zhi arrived at the hospital ward, Old Sun's driver was waiting there.

Upon seeing Bai Zhi, he walked over and said, "Dr. Bai, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Shall I take you home now?"

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Li."

The driver was polite and respectful to him, saying, "You're welcome, it's my pleasure."

Bai Zhi returned to the family compound in a special car around noon.

As soon as they got off the bus outside the gate of the residential compound, they were spotted by Liu Guifang and several other women who were returning from shopping.

When the group saw her get out of the jeep again, they exchanged glances and quickly surrounded her.

Several women cast curious glances at her.

Liu Guifang was carrying several kinds of vegetables. She looked at Bai Zhi and asked with a smile,

"Xiaobai, what have you been up to lately? Whose car is this? Why are they picking you up and dropping you off every day? Where have you been?"

Bai Zhi replied, "Sister-in-law, something came up at the hospital, so I'm going there."

"I heard your cousin got injured. Did you go to see him?" Liu Guifang asked.

But as she glanced at the departing jeep, she sensed something was amiss. "Where did that car come from? The driver was quite polite to you. Could it really be a car sent by Deputy Battalion Commander Lu from the army?"

Wang Xiufen mentioned earlier that Bai Zhi also left in a jeep this morning when she went out to buy things.

The women discussed how Deputy Battalion Commander Lu was breaking discipline for the sake of his beautiful young wife.

She also criticized Bai Zhi for being immature, using her pretty face to seduce her man into making mistakes.

If things continue like this, Lu Ye's future is bleak.

At the time, Liu Guifang spoke up for Bai Zhi to Lu Ye, saying that the young couple were very easygoing and that Bai Zhi was definitely not someone who craved vanity and pleasure.

She had just finished explaining herself on the road when Bai Zhi returned in a jeep.

Liu Guifang asked this question, but then felt that it was unlikely. Lu Ye was just a battalion commander, and a deputy one at that. How could he have such great power to privately use the army's vehicles to pick up and drop off his wife every day?

His husband, Lao Yang, is an instructor, but he has never let him or the children ride in military vehicles for personal reasons.

Although Lu Ye dotes on his wife, he is known for his integrity and selflessness, and it is impossible for him to break this principle.

The other women watched Bai Zhi with an attitude of enjoying the show.

I want to hear her explanation.

“This car belongs to the hospital,” Bai Zhi said. “The hospital asked me to go and treat patients, so they pick me up and drop me off every day to save time.”

Due to Officer Sun's special status, it is not convenient to disclose more information about him.

It would be reasonable to say that the car belonged to the hospital.

"The hospital asked you to treat the patient?" The women next to Liu Guifang clearly didn't believe it, especially Wang Yumei, who showed a disdainful expression.

It seems to be mocking you, asking who you think you are? Such a big hospital, do you think you're indispensable, like a small doctor? They'd send you to get treatment by special car.

Liu Guifang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Bai Zhi's explanation. With a proud expression, she looked at the other women and said, "I told you Xiao Bai's medical skills were superb, but you didn't believe me. Look, the hospital has hired her now."

Wang Yumei curled her lip and said sarcastically, "Sister-in-law Guifang, you are really honest, you believe whatever others say."

Another older woman, who had retired from the hospital, felt a pang of jealousy upon hearing Bai Zhi's boastful words. "She's so young, isn't she afraid of biting off more than she can chew?"

Bai Zhi ignored those people and looked at Liu Guifang, saying, "Sister-in-law, I have to go home now. I've been treating patients all morning and I'm very tired."

"Okay, go back and rest."

After Bai Zhi left, the women huddled together and began whispering again. Of course, those who were not familiar with her were completely skeptical of what Bai Zhi had just said.

Some even felt that she was lying on purpose to save face in front of everyone, or to cover something up.

The older woman who had just been ignored by Bai Zhi was a little embarrassed. She frowned and looked at Wang Yumei, seeking an alliance. "How could Bai Zhi, at such a young age, have that kind of ability? I think she's just trying to make herself look good in order to gain a foothold in this residential compound. Do you think I don't know what the hospital's standards are for hiring doctors?"

"Yu Mei, you've also worked in nursing, so tell me, am I right?"

Wang Yumei smiled and echoed her words, but her inner doubts grew stronger, because she couldn't help but think of the two extraordinary old men who had visited Lu Ye's house that day.

They specifically asked for Bai Zhi.

It seems like the car they were driving was the same one that delivered Bai Zhi earlier.

That woman's identity might really be extraordinary.

Lu Ye has officially started working. Bai Zhi has been spending most of her time at the hospital or on her way to and from the hospital from morning to noon these past few days, and can only rest at home in the afternoon.

She went home, made herself a bowl of noodles, ate it, and then lay down for a nap.

I plan to go out to buy groceries and cook this afternoon.

......

However, she had only been asleep for a short while when she was woken up by the arguing outside.

She was startled in her sleep, and sat up groggily. After a few seconds of clearing her mind, she realized that the arguing was coming from outside the door.

It's Wang Yumei again.

Judging from the voice, it sounds like her lover has returned.

Bai Zhi's sweet dream was disturbed, and she irritably ruffled her hair a couple of times.

Wang Yumei's husband went back to his hometown for the Spring Festival, and as neighbors, things finally calmed down for a while. But as soon as he returned, they started arguing.

There was also the sound of something breaking.

Judging from the sound, it seems to be made of glass.

Of course, Wang Yumei and Zhou Jianmin's argument disturbed not only Bai Zhi, who was sleeping.

Even the families downstairs heard it.

At this time, most office workers are at their workplaces, with only a few women who are full-time housewives at home.

Liu Guifang doesn't have the habit of taking a nap because she doesn't work. It's a rare sunny day at midday, and she's at the door washing her son's and Zhang Zhengwei's (the political commissar's) schoolbags and brushing their shoes.

She had greeted Zhou Jianmin warmly when she saw him return with his luggage, but less than ten minutes later, the couple started fighting.
