"Dean Zhang, please have some self-respect." Leng's icy voice rang out.
"Little Leng, there's another batch of nurses about to become regular staff soon at the hospital. Everyone's fiercely competing for the spots. You understand what I'm saying, right?"
Lin Hai heard all these conversations clearly.
"Damn, hospital's unspoken rules?"
"That familiar voice, isn't it Nurse Bingbing?"
In the office came the girl's cold refusal again: "Dean Zhang, I think you've got the wrong person."
Dean Zhang seemed to be in a hurry, his voice getting excited: "Bingbing, I really like you, just give yourself to me."
After he spoke, the sounds inside became more intense, as if Dean Zhang was starting to use force.
With a bang, Bingbing let out a cry of alarm, pushed down onto the bed.
Bingbing's voice grew fierce: "Dean, let go!"
"Look, Bingbing, my family life is a mess, I feel nothing for that old hag. It's you I love," the Dean said with labored breaths.
"Dean, I've always respected you, you're an erudite person, let me go," Bingbing struggled desperately.
"Yes, I'm an erudite, Bingbing, I can secure a regular position for you at the hospital, get you a house or even buy you a car. I know your family's in a tough spot, with a younger brother still in school," said the Dean, more anxious than ever, fumbling with his belt buckle.
"Damn, can't stand by and watch this happen," thought Lin Hai, hiding his wallet in his sleeve and aiming at the office door, kicking it open with one foot.
Bam!
Lin Hai kicked open the door.
Inside the office was an old man in a white coat, bespectacled, trying to press Nurse Bingbing against the bed corner, his mouth wearing a disgustingly lecherous smile, yet his face put on a façade of benevolence, earnestly saying, "You see, Bingbing, you should appreciate the organization's deep concern for you, I am guiding your medical skills."
Just as the elder was about to carry out his revolting intentions, he was startled by the sudden noise and stared blankly at Lin Hai.
Bingbing also saw Lin Hai, hope flickering in her eyes.
The Dean hadn't expected someone to barge in at this time, his face turning an extreme shade of red, and with an awkward cough he said, "Nurse Bingbing, there seems to be a problem with your health, let's stop the massage here today, wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea about our pure relationship, cough cough."
"Dean, you..."
Nurse Bingbing never imagined that the normally dignified Dean would be such a hypocritical beast, capable of uttering such words, but remembering she still had to work in the hospital and her brother's tuition depended on her, she gritted her teeth and said, "If there's nothing else, Dean, I'll be going now."
Bingbing took the opportunity to break free from the Dean's rough grasp, got off the bed, and as she passed by Lin Hai, she nodded gratefully at him.
"Comrade, why did you needlessly kick my office door open? If seen by others, it'll cause misunderstandings," the Dean said sternly, with an almost righteous air about him, damn his hypocrisy.
Lin Hai smiled slightly and took out his phone, snapping a photo of the disheveled elder.
Click
The flash from the phone was blindingly bright.
"What are you doing!" Panic was evident on the Dean's face.
"I am a part-time photography enthusiast; I thought I lost my wallet and came in to look for it," said Lin Hai, his face wearing an innocent smile.
"Why are you taking photos, delete them immediately," the Dean said urgently.
"I saw how concerned you are with your subordinates, it excited me, and I just wanted to take a photo, maybe go back and write a headline report. I've even thought of the title – 'Hospital's Septuagenarian Dean Cares Deeply for Nurse, Exclusive Healing Touch Revitalizes,'" Lin Hai spoke languidly.
"You, you're a reporter?!"
The Dean's face turned deathly pale.
Lin Hai obediently nodded, modestly saying, "Although I've only been in this line of work for a little over a year, many of the breaking scoops have come from me."
Dean Zhang's face instantly became a panic-stricken mess, and he hurriedly pulled up his pants, stuttering, "Comrade, you must have misunderstood, I really was treating her."
"I know, I will report truthfully, and you will definitely receive an award this year."
Lin Hai displayed an innocent and harmless expression.
Looking at Lin Hai's face, Dean Zhang twitched violently. An award? If this gets reported, I'll probably be removed from my position immediately. There goes my reputation.
"Comrade, let's talk this out nicely, please talk this out."
Dean Zhang pleaded earnestly.
"I just overheard something about a quota for a nurse's permanent position in the hospital. Dean Zhang, there couldn't possibly be any under-the-table rules involved, could there?" Lin Hai continued to ask, smiling.
Dean Zhang shook his head decisively, very firmly saying, "Absolutely not, our hospital does not engage in any improper practices. The quota for nurse's permanent positions is completely fair!"
"Then, will that nurse just now become permanent?" Lin Hai asked, still smiling.
Dean Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this reporter was definitely trying to trap him. If he said she won't become permanent, the reporter would definitely think that he suppressed his subordinates because his secret dealings didn't work out. If he said she could become permanent, then the reporter would go back and report it as a potential power-for-sex trade.
Reporters are the most difficult to deal with, uncrowned kings who can ruin someone's reputation at any moment.
"Well, the matter of becoming permanent is discussed by the entire leadership of the hospital, as well as the directors of the health department above us. As for the specifics, I cannot disclose at the moment."
Lin Hai smiled, "Alright then, goodbye, Dean Zhang".
The office was left with only Dean Zhang, whose face immediately darkened.
"Damned reporter, ruining a perfect opportunity!"
Immediately after, Dean Zhang thought of something, and a cold smirk appeared on his lips: "Humph, Bingbing, as long as you work in my hospital, you will ultimately not be able to escape the palm of my hand."
"As for that reporter, if he dares to report nonsense, I can immediately fire Bingbing."
As Lin Hai left the office, he found that little nurse Bingbing was unexpectedly still standing at the door, not having left.
"Thank you, Brother Lin, you've saved me once again."
"It's what I should do, we're friends after all," Lin Hai said, revealing his honest smile.
Bingbing suddenly felt Lin Hai's smile had a very charming feeling to it.
Before, she felt for Lin Hai nothing more than a pure touch of friendship and a stranger's favorable impression.
She didn't expect Lin Hai to step up at a critical moment today, and moreover, he was extremely wise, making Dean Zhang mistake him for a reporter and not daring to mess around.
This clever intelligence and ability made Bingbing reassess Lin Hai once again.
"Helping others is a joy. If that old pervert dean dares to bully you, give me a call." Lin Hai said with a smile, casually pulling out his cellphone.
Bingbing naturally took the cellphone, stored her number in it without any reserve.
"Hehe, got the little nurse sister's mobile number," Lin Hai secretly rejoiced inwardly, but maintained a "Lei Feng" style smile on his face.
"Um, Bingbing, can I say one more thing?" Lin Hai suddenly spoke up.
"What's that? Go ahead, Brother Lin," Bingbing said.
Lin Hai pointed at the chest area of Bingbing, "Could you button up first..."
"Ah!" Bingbing's face instantly became infinitely shy, her heart rippling, she bashfully lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Hai.
Lin Hai pretended to have the expression of a gentleman, but in reality, he really hadn't seen anything, inwardly sighing regrettably. Such a good opportunity was blocked just perfectly that he couldn't see. Wuuwu
