Chapter 586: Reprimand
"I hadn't noticed that issue. Let's hear it, who are you referring to by 'certain individuals'?" Tang Yiyuan's face darkened as he spoke, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Tang Yiyuan.
President Feng and Dean Cai, however, were unaware of whom Chang Yufeng was talking about. Their expressions remained unchanged, just watching Chang Yufeng.
Seeing Professor Tang Yiyuan's expression turn somewhat abnormal, Chang Yufeng felt a jolt within, but considering President Feng and Dean Cai were present, and Professor Lin Wenhong had already made clear his intention to deal with Ge Dongxu, along with several others he had secretly incited, he quickly regained his composure.
"The 'certain individual' I was referring to is Ge Dongxu, this young intern. He lacks discipline and organization, acts recklessly, and disrespects his mentors. I believe such a person must be dealt with seriously," Chang Yufeng said sternly.
Upon hearing Chang Yufeng mention Ge Dongxu, the faces of President Feng and Dean Cai changed instantly. However, both being leaders, managed to keep their composure and did not speak. Instead, they just looked deeply at Chang Yufeng and then surveyed the other people in the meeting room to see their reactions.
"Is this just the opinion of Chang Yufeng, or do all the present members share this view?" Tang Yiyuan did not bang on the desk and lose his temper as before, but merely gave Chang Yufeng a cold look before slowly sweeping his gaze over everyone else in the room.
"I share the same view. I supervised him last week, and Ge Dongxu indeed lacks discipline and organization, doesn't follow instructions, and disrespects mentors. He must be seriously dealt with," Lin Wenhong spoke up.
"Yes, Ge Dongxu really is like that," a noticeably plump doctor added.
This doctor, Dr. Jia, was the very associate head, associate professor Song Yongnan had secretly mentioned to Ge Dongxu, known for being greedy and not letting students graduate smoothly unless they offered him gifts.
Because Chang Yufeng's father was the vice dean, Dr. Jia had always had a good relationship with Chang Yufeng. Thus when Ge Dongxu was with him, he had intentionally made things difficult for Ge Dongxu. However, Ge Dongxu had ignored him and switched mentors the very next day. Naturally, Dr. Jia held a grudge over this incident.
"I also supervised Ge Dongxu, and on the contrary, I think he is quite exceptional, and his medical skills are very impressive," He Ruiduan, who had always had a deep and favorable impression of Ge Dongxu, couldn't help but speak out on his behalf as Chang Yufeng and others openly criticized him.
"Dr. He, your statement clearly seems to be excusing Ge Dongxu. How could he, a mere intern in his early twenties, be highly skilled in medicine? Is that even possible?" Lin Wenhong said with displeasure.
"Exactly, if his medical skills are really that impressive, would he need to intern here?" Chang Yufeng added, giving He Ruiduan a menacing look.
"I'm not sure whether Ge Dongxu's medical skills are impressive, but regarding being undisciplined, reckless, and disrespectful to mentors, I haven't noticed that," said another doctor, adopting an attitude of sticking to the facts, seeing that Lin Wenhong and others were evidently targeting Ge Dongxu.
The meeting room then erupted into a hubbub of mixed opinions.
There were those who were opportunistic or biased, seeing that Lin Wenhong and others clearly intended to target Ge Dongxu, thought it was just an intern anyway, and went along with their views. Some spoke impartially, not partaking in kicking someone when they were down, but the only one truly standing up for Ge Dongxu was He Duanrui.
Even so, by the end, even Xie Jinmo, under Chang Yufeng's intimidating gaze, gritted his teeth and also voiced criticisms against Ge Dongxu.
Tang Yiyuan, who had been suppressing his anger and observing coldly, finally couldn't bear it when his former student spoke against Ge Dongxu once again. He slammed the table and shouted, "Enough!"
The meeting room suddenly fell silent, except for Chang Yufeng and Xie Jinmo who felt a pang of shock, the others exchanged glances, not knowing why Tang Yiyuan was so angry when everyone was just discussing matters.
"They say a doctor should have a heart of compassion, but he is just an intern; do you really need to scheme against him like this?" Tang Yiyuan said angrily, his gaze coldly sweeping over those who had just been speaking ill of Ge Dongxu.
As soon as Tang Yiyuan had spoken, people like Deputy Director Jia were alright, not daring to easily speak up in defense under Tang Yiyuan's icy stare. However, senior university professors like Lin Wenhong, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine expert, immediately changed their expression and said, "Professor Tang, what do you mean by that? You need to clarify this to us! You can't just slander us because you are a skilled doctor and the head of the internal medicine department!"
"Director Lin has a point! Then may I ask you, when I interned under you, did I ever act undisciplined, flamboyant, and disobey orders? You are the chief physician, a university professor, do you think you can just slander people at will? Or is it because I thwarted your plans, so you bear a grudge and insist on taking revenge against me? If that is so, I'm not mincing words here, Director Lin, you don't deserve to be a doctor, a teacher, or even a person!" As soon as Lin Wenhong finished speaking, the door of the meeting room was pushed open.
Ge Dongxu stood there proudly, his gaze coldly fixed on Lin Wenhong.
"President Feng, Dean Cai, and all teachers, look at this, what kind of attitude is this? This person must be dealt with seriously," Lin Wenhong said, enraged and embarrassed as Ge Dongxu publicly exposed his devious intentions.
"Ge Dongxu, what is your status? Is this a place you can just barge into? Get out of here immediately!" Chang Yufeng, seeing Ge Dongxu, an intern, barge in and brazenly speak up, was actually overjoyed and immediately shouted at him harshly.
That scolding, as it left his mouth, gave Chang Yufeng an intense thrill of satisfaction!
He had been waiting for this day for a long time! Today, he could finally scold him openly and rightfully.
"I think the one who should leave is you, but you may stay a bit longer. Even if I tell you to leave, I'll make sure you understand why," Ge Dongxu said disdainfully and disgustedly as he glanced at Chang Yufeng and spoke coldly.
Ge Dongxu was really disgusted by Chang Yufeng's jealousy and his vindictiveness.
Actually, in reality, there was no grievance between him and Chang Yufeng beyond him briefly pretending to be Wu Yili's boyfriend; yet, Chang Yufeng had persistently targeted him, suppressed him, and even malevolently tried to strip him of his medical career.
"President Feng, Dean Cai, Professor Tang, you all see, if this person is…" Chang Yufeng, Lin Wenhao and others all said with ugly looks on their faces, their eyes on Ge Dongxu were like looking at a dead man.
The other people in the meeting room also shook their heads, even He Duanrui helplessly sighed, looking at Ge Dongxu as if he was a disappointment.
At the end of the day, Ge Dongxu was just an intern!
An intern, dramatically scolding chief physicians and deputy directors in a routine meeting—no matter how much He Ruiduan favored Ge Dongxu, at this point, he was helpless to defend him.
As for the others, not standing up to criticize Ge Dongxu at this time was already a mercy; how could they possibly speak up for him!
