Chapter 135: One hundred thirty-five, I’m not cutting in line; I’m working overtime! _1 Chapter 135: One hundred thirty-five, I’m not cutting in line; I’m working overtime! _1 The on-duty doctor was a young physician, currently bent over attending to a patient.

The patient opposite her wore a large gold ring, Dajing Jiezhi, and held a crocodile leather bag in hand.

The genuine leather shoes underneath his suit pants were polished to a shine.

Even his slicked-back hair was meticulous.

At a glance, one could tell he was a person of considerable (explosive) status (development) (registration).

When the young doctor saw the chief physician arrive, she was so startled she quickly stood up.

“Chief, what brings you here?”

How strange, today wasn’t the day the chief physician was supposed to see patients, why did she suddenly show up?

Was it a work inspection?

The chief physician waved her hand signaling her to sit down.

“No worries, I’m here to see a patient!”

After speaking, she walked to an empty desk across the room and sat down.

Seeing the patient’s own doctor calling the doctor across from him the chief, Dajing Jiezhi couldn’t help but glance at Gu Chen with shock in his eyes.

That was the chief physician!

He had gone to great lengths to secure an appointment with the chief physician today and yet had failed to get one.

Some people weren’t even on duty or seeing patients.

How influential must this person be to have the chief physician personally come to see him?

The chief physician pointed to the seat next to her own desk and politely said to Gu Chen, “Come, young man, have a seat first.”

Hearing this, Gu Chen hurriedly helped Ji Pianran to the seat.

Then he turned to the chief physician with a smile, “Please see my wife first, I’m not in a hurry.”

Ji Pianran was indeed the focus of today’s medical examination!

Ji Pianran subconsciously looked up at Gu Chen’s face.

To be honest, seeing how familiar the young nurse was with Gu Chen, Ji Pianran felt somewhat displeased.

But the moment he called her his wife in front of so many people,

that hint of irritation in her heart instantly vanished without a trace.

In its place came a faint sweetness.

Indeed, Gu Chen still loved her; he was able to openly tell others that she was his wife.

It proved there was nothing between Gu Chen and the young nurse.

With this thought, she couldn’t help feeling much happier.

Watching the way Gu Chen looked at Ji Pianran, the chief physician instantly understood.

This was a man who truly loved his wife!

That look, so tender it was almost spilling over!

She smiled, “Alright, then let’s see the wife first!”

Fearing that Tangtang might get lost, Gu Chen quickly held the little one in his arms; after all, the hospital was truly crowded.

First, the chief physician inquired if Ji Pianran was feeling unwell, then she prescribed a full-body examination for Ji Pianran.

She then turned to Gu Chen, “Take this form and go to room 203 for the examination.”

After speaking, worried that Gu Chen might be concerned, she gave an additional reminder.

“Oh, and I didn’t schedule a CT or MRI for you. From my conversation with your wife, I don’t think she’s likely to have those kinds of problems. After all, those are expensive, so it’s best to save where you can.”

The chief physician meant well; after all, in this day and age, CTs and MRIs are high-tech and costly—one session could easily consume hundreds.

It’s not something an average family can afford, and besides, Ji Pianran, at first glance, evidently didn’t have such ailments.

Gu Chen nodded, “Thank you, doctor.”

Hearing that her examination was over, Ji Pianran quickly stood up, reaching out to pull Gu Chen.

“You should get checked by the doctor as well.”

Gu Chen didn’t hesitate and immediately sat down with Tangtang in his arms.

“Doctor, my daughter and I will both have a checkup!”

The director nodded, “Alright, for a child, you don’t need all that. Just go get a blood draw and a test to see if there’s anything lacking in the body!”

After finishing, he lowered his head and wrote some characters on the paper that most people couldn’t understand, but somehow felt were very profound.

At this moment, Dajing Jiezhi was simply green with envy.

Well, that’s indeed a senior physician for you, not easily prescribing a CT or an MRI but still able to determine if there’s an issue!

This level of expertise is amazing!

It just so happened that he had a terrible headache and wanted to see if there was any problem with his brain or cervical spine.

He glanced at the director, preparing to ask him for an examination after Gu Chen left.

The young doctor looked at Dajing Jiezhi, “Any other symptoms?”

Dajing Jiezhi hurriedly waved his hand, “Wait, wait, I want this director to take a look at me!”

The young doctor: “?????”

What’s wrong with this guy?

I’m sitting right here, and he’s registered under my name!

Why is he looking for the director?

After the director had written the prescription, he handed it to Gu Chen and asked her some routine questions.

Questions such as whether she had a bitter taste in her mouth, if her eyes hurt, if she usually had insomnia, and so on.

After asking, he also wrote a prescription for Gu Chen.

“Take this and go to room 204 for the test.”

Worried about the crowd, he glanced at the nurse and arranged, “You take them over, they’re friends of mine.”

The nurse nodded and smiled enthusiastically, “Right away!”

Gu Chen hadn’t expected the director to be so nice to her, and she thanked him profusely.

“I really can’t thank you enough.”

The director smiled amiably, “It’s nothing, seeing patients is a doctor’s duty, after all. Go on, don’t delay.”

He then stood up, ready to return to his office.

Seeing the director was about to leave, Dajing Jiezhi hurriedly stood up and nodded to the director.

“Doctor, could you take a look at me as well? I’m a friend of Director Zhou from the neurology department.”

He thought that by introducing himself this way, the director would at least show some courtesy to Director Zhou, given that they were colleagues.

But to his surprise, the director’s face darkened instantly.

Another one trying to cut in line!

It’s these people who pull strings and flout the rules that cause ordinary folks to wait for half a day, or even a whole day!

She glanced at Dajing Jiezhi, barely containing her displeasure.

“Oh, then you should go and see Director Zhou. What do you want with me?”

Dajing Jiezhi hadn’t expected the director to respond with such an attitude, denying him any face.

He bowed and scraped, “Well, isn’t it because I need to see your specialty?”

At that, the director looked towards the young doctor with a tone that was somewhat impatient, “Isn’t she treating you?”

Dajing Jiezhi had been rebuffed by the director several times, and it was starting to get to him.

You should know, he too was a person with status, a senior physician—why would she speak so harshly?

“What kind of attitude is this? Don’t think I don’t know; that person just now jumped the queue, and she’s your friend too. So, you treat your friends, and we common patients get different treatment, huh? Be careful, or I’ll report you!”

Dajing Jiezhi’s face was full of threats.

Watching this, the director became instantly furious!

In a flash, she slammed her hand on the table.

“Whoever cut in line knows it. If you dare, go ahead and report me!”

Still feeling indignant, she glanced at the young doctor’s desk and noticed the large number 43 on a piece of paper with a patient’s number.

She added another remark.

“Me? I’m not cutting in. I’m working overtime! Did I use up any hospital resources? What’s wrong with treating a friend after hours? Look at your ticket—what number is on your desk?”
