The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 64 Small Temple, Big Demonic Power (Please Read On)
This day.

The sky is clear and the sun is shining.

The pale blue sky was dotted with wisps of clouds, which were fluffed up like cotton wool by the wind.

At this moment, in front of the inpatient building of Jilin University Ninth Hospital.

People come and go, their footsteps hurried.

Gu Heng stood beside the main entrance, gazing at his reflection in the glass, and gently tidied his hair, which had just been ruffled by the wind.

"Hey……"

"I really hate this world that judges people by their looks."

"It makes me unsure who truly loves me."

Gu Heng nodded in satisfaction, then picked up his phone to check the time.

"It's almost 9:30, why hasn't Momo come down yet?"

Gu Heng muttered to himself, a hint of doubt creeping into his mind.

Thinking of this, Gu Heng opened WeChat and made a WeChat call to Xu Mo.

Half a month later, because Xu Mo was an intern nurse with a lot of night shifts, the two of them still couldn't find a suitable opportunity to meet again.

Today, Xu Mo really went all out.

Despite working the night shift last night, she still expressed a strong desire to meet Gu Heng.

To be honest, Gu Heng always held this kind and innocent nurse in his heart.

Recently, these women have been surrounding Gu Heng.

Both Luo Xiwen and Jiang Ruan got to know Gu Heng's "money" first, and then got to know Gu Heng as a person.

Xu Mo was different. When she met Gu Heng, he was a genuine "poor boy" except for the cold 1 million yuan lying in his bank account.

Kindness, innocence, simplicity, frugality...

In just a few days, Xu Mo left a very deep impression on Gu Heng.

Gu Heng thought this to himself, but his hands didn't stop moving.

I tried once, but didn't answer.

I called twice, but didn't answer.

Gu Heng made four calls in a row, but no one answered.

"strangeness……"

Gu Heng was a little puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to wait there any longer. Instead, he put away his phone and walked into the hospital building.

Because he had been hospitalized here, he knew which floor Xu Mo worked on.

"Ding--"

As the elevator doors slowly opened to both sides, Gu Heng stepped out of the elevator and heard a series of stern reprimands coming from afar.

"Two months of internship, and I haven't made any progress at all!"

"You can't use a blood glucose meter, and you don't know how to administer intravenous injections. I really don't know what you learned in school?"

"Even if you don't know anything, can't you press the call button and get the supervising nurse here right away? When it comes to a matter of life and death, is it something you can do by being reckless?"

……

Gu Heng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of nurses in white coats gathered in front of the reception desk. The stern reprimands were coming from there.

"Xu Mo!"

"In a hospital, any mistake can lead to a medical accident!"

"Based on your performance last night, I believe you are extremely incompetent as a nurse. You are not fit to be a nurse. I will truthfully record your situation in your internship report!"

Gu Heng, who had been walking slowly, changed his expression immediately when he heard the voice coming from the direction of the reception desk again, and then quickly quickened his pace.

He had assumed Xu Mo was one of the many nurses watching, but he never expected that she would be the one being reprimanded.

Gu Heng hurried along and quickly arrived near the information desk.

In the center of the crowd stood a woman in her thirties, wearing a nurse's cap with a blue stripe indicating she was a head nurse. She looked furious, her face contorted with anger.

Standing in front of the head nurse was the young nurse, Xu Mo.

At this moment, Xu Mo lowered her head, looking as if she was about to cry, her hands clasped tightly together in front of her, her fingers turning white from the pressure.

Among the people around were nurses and interns.

Their expressions were all different, but none of them dared to say a word at this moment.

Upon seeing this, Gu Heng immediately frowned.

In his memory, Xu Mo was quite hardworking and serious during her work.

Because of her poor family background and the fact that internship opportunities at top-tier hospitals are hard to come by, Xu Mo put in far more effort than other interns in the same cohort.

Gu Heng frowned, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

Until he saw Liu Dan.

“Sister Dan…” Gu Heng quietly went around behind Liu Dan and patted her on the shoulder.

At first, Liu Dan was startled, but when she saw that the person who came was Gu Heng, she immediately remained calm and retreated to the back of the crowd.

"Sister Dan, what's going on?"

Gu Heng got straight to the point and asked Liu Dan directly.

"This is fucking bullying!"

"What happened last night wasn't Momo's fault at all. It was clearly that slut Hu Yan's fault, but she pushed all the blame onto Momo!"

When Liu Dan saw Gu Heng arrive, all the anger that had been building up inside her immediately erupted.

Then, she recounted the whole story to Gu Heng as if pouring out beans.

Interns like Xu Mo are mentored by several senior nurses, and Liu Dan is just one of them.

Hu Yan, whom Liu Dan just mentioned, is another "mentor" of Xu Mo.

Last night, Xu Mo and Hu Yan worked the night shift together.

In the ward they were responsible for caring for, there was an elderly man who had been hospitalized due to an acute myocardial infarction. He also had a history of diabetes and needed close monitoring of his blood sugar and vital signs.

Because her blood sugar needed to be monitored every half hour, Hu Yan found it troublesome and handed the task over to Xu Mo, telling her to take care of it alone and to contact her if anything came up.

Normally, this is already an irregular practice.

As it turned out, the patient's condition did indeed worsen in the middle of the night.

The other person's blood sugar suddenly dropped, and they even fell into a coma.

As an intern nurse, Xu Mo had never encountered this situation before, so she immediately pressed the call bell.

However, despite Xu Mo pressing the button countless times, Hu Yan still did not appear.

So Xu Mo could only try to administer intravenous glucose herself, but due to panic and lack of experience, the punctures failed repeatedly, and the needle left several bloody marks on the back of the patient's hand.

Hu Yan finally arrived late.

"Sometimes, don't be fooled by how easy-going the patients' family members seem. When something really happens, they can turn on you in a heartbeat."

"This morning, the old man's family started making a scene, claiming that the hospital's rescue last night was not timely and demanding an explanation from the hospital. They even alerted our deputy director of the nursing department."

"In the end, it took a lot of persuasion to calm them down."

At this point, Liu Dan glanced at the somewhat flamboyantly dressed female nurse standing behind the head nurse and said with some resentment, "This Hu Yan is arrogant because her family has some connections in the Health Bureau."

"Ever since Xu Mo arrived, she has bullied Xu Mo quite a bit, constantly ordering Xu Mo around to do this and that for her. But after what happened last night, she completely shirked responsibility and shifted all the blame onto Xu Mo."

Gu Heng's expression turned quite ugly upon hearing this.

"So, whatever Hu Yan says, your head nurse just believes it?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Dan looked around and lowered her voice again: "After Momo's batch of interns arrived, almost every intern assigned to Ding Xia gave her something."

"Among all the interns, only Momo didn't give her a gift, so she had always disliked Momo. In addition, Hu Yan's family had some influence, and since Hu Yan didn't give her gifts, she naturally turned a blind eye and blamed all the mistakes on Momo."

After Liu Dan finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Xiao Gu, don't blame me for not helping."

"I really can't do anything about it. I can't afford to offend Ding Xia."

Liu Dan looked slightly guilty: "If I offend her, she'll make my life miserable if she schedules us for work in the future."

"Ha ha……"

"It's true what they say: a small temple with a lot of evil spirits, and shallow water with many turtles."

"His official rank wasn't high, but his authority was considerable."

Gu Heng looked at Ding Xia, the head nurse who was still sternly reprimanding Xu Mo in the center of the crowd, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao Gu..."

Seeing Gu Heng's expression, Liu Dan was worried that Gu Heng, being young and impetuous, might act rashly again.

"Sister Dan, who is your immediate supervisor in the nursing department?"

Gu Heng suddenly turned his head and asked Liu Dan.

"Director Pang Juan."

Liu Dan answered instinctively.

Gu Heng shook his head: "Sister Dan, I'm talking about your immediate supervisor, the very top one."

"The very top one?"

Liu Dan didn't know what Gu Heng was up to, but she answered truthfully, "That should be Dean Jiang Man, who is in charge of the entire administrative department of our hospital. Our nursing department is one of the many departments under her supervision."

"Oh?"

"That's quite a coincidence."

Gu Heng looked up at Ding Xia and Hu Yan in the center of the crowd, suddenly revealing two rows of white teeth. His smile seemed radiant, but to Liu Dan, it sent a chill down her spine for no apparent reason…
