Physician's Odyssey Chapter 419 - Qin Ming’s Love Tribulation

The next morning, news had already spread that Qin Ming was arrested for rape against a young nurse, in which Jianghuai Hospital immediately held a meeting.
After a democratic discussion and vote, President Wang Song decided to fire Qin Ming due to the seriousness of this matter. Furthermore, the nurse who was raped also resigned from the hospital due to personal reasons.
Slicing an apple, Xia Yu handed a piece over to Su Tao.
Su Tao did not refuse and received it. "How did you accomplish it? It's astounding that that woman would turn around and bite Qin Ming."
Letting out a sigh, Xia Yu wryly smiled. "I can only say that that woman is ruthless. I initially wanted to use the photos to threaten her into confessing to Wang Song, but I never expected that she would play such a ruthless move and report Qin Ming for rape."
Su Tao was also left speechless as the turnout of this matter was even beyond his expectations and commented, "Qin Ming thought of himself as clever and that he was lucky with a woman, but he never expected that it would turn into his tribulation."
Xia Yu sighed, "Qin Ming did resort to underhanded means to make Miao Xinling submit for the first time. As a woman, she knew how it would affect her if this matter was revealed to the public. Hence, she might as well treat Qin Ming as a friend with benefits. But this sort of relationship isn't stable, and it cannot go through challenges with each seeking their own benefits in the face of danger. Compared to being a mistress, Miao Xinling would rather choose to be a victim. Although her reputation would be ruined in this manner, it would also make others take pity on her."
Shaking his head, Su Tao bitterly smiled. "Miao Xinling's schemes aren't your ordinary depth. She has probably left a way out for herself by gathering evidence of Qin Ming violating her for the first time. After all, those pieces of evidence can prove that she was forced into a relationship with Qin Ming, and she can also use this to threaten Qin Ming one day into giving her compensation."
"Isn't that woman too ruthless?" Xia Yu was briefly stunned and felt that that woman really deserved his slap.
"So when you fool around with a woman, you must pay attention and don't be fooled by their appearance." Su Tao smiled.
Sniffing his nose, Xia Yu solemnly declared, "I only have Yuqin in my heart, and I can't be bothered to look at other women."
Su Tao really believed Xia Yu's words. Although Xia Yu liked to pry into other people's privacy, he was faithful when it came to love.
Ever since Di Yuqin became pregnant, she was pampered up to cloud nine by him, in which he felt blissful looking at Di Yuqin's growing stomach. Even Su Tao never expected that from the brute-looking Xia Yu.
"Qin Ming might be framed by Miao Xinling, but he deserved it." Xia Yu felt no compassion for Qin Ming and continued, "Back then, he was close with Qiao Dehao and relied on his post to receive benefits from the pharmaceutical company. He's cunning, and the moment Wang Song took over, he instantly changed his camp and became Wang Song's assistant."
When he finished, he handed another slice of apple over.
Su Tao knew that Xia Yu had done a thorough investigation of Qin Ming. He's naturally not a soft-hearted person, and he would probably be in Qin Ming's shoes by now if he didn't make a move against him.
Feeling a little awkward to be receiving apples from a man, Su Tao smiled. "You can just give me the apple, my hands are fine, and I can do it myself. Oh, right, how's Bassoon doing?"
Xia Yu's expression instantly turned grave upon Basson being mentioned before he answered, "Bassoon's return this time was filled with danger. There were many people who are deadly loyal to Master Qian. Bassoon suffered multiple injuries from those people, but from the news he sent me a few days ago, the progress is going well, and he has gathered a group of Master Qian's disciples."
Nodding his head, Su Tao pondered for a long time before speaking his intention, "I want you to train those elites that Bassoon brings over. After all, we have many enemies, and I want to establish my own trump card with Bassoon as the core."
"Back then, I knew that you weren't a person of no particular talent when I followed you; you are someone with your own thoughts." Xia Yu sighed.
"You're wrong. We're partners, and you've also surprised me as well." Su Tao smiled.
The two of them smiled as they looked at each other with their friendship rising to a new level.
Both Xia Yu and Liu Jianwei were crucial to his plan, since he cannot create an empire all by himself.
Xia Yu was wise and intellectual, while Liu Jianwei was powerful.
With two assistants, Su Tao would be able to make progress in his own ideals.
After staying for a brief while longer, Xia Yu left. He wasn't having an easy time either managing all the intelligence.
He currently had two focuses in his work. Firstly, the information on the National Healer Candidacy, since Su Tao needed to know his opponents; secondly, he had to investigate the Medicine Deity Corporation. Although Bai Fan has been locked up, Wang Guofeng has taken over the operation and managed to put it on the right track with his influence in the TCM industry, turning over the decline.
Nevertheless, Xia Yu's income was much better than in the past because the Three Flavour Cosmetics International would assign roughly 5% of the profits to assist him in establishing an intelligence network. In the coming future, his intelligence department would be serving the Three Flavour Cosmetics International.
Not long after he left, Su Tao felt a little bored, so he took out his phone and started to look at the photos of beauties that he saved. All of a sudden, a commotion resounded from the rear, so Su Tao turned and saw He Xiaoyu standing at the edge of the bed.
"You're here to change my dressing? There's no need for it today. I have already felt much better after I used my own medicine yesterday. If it goes as I expected, I will be able to leave tomorrow." Su Tao felt grateful for He Xiaoyu. If it wasn't for the latter, he still wouldn't know about Qin Ming's plots.
"Vice-President Su, I'm here to thank you!" He Xiaoyu lowered her head and said while fiddling with the corner of her shirt.
Waving his hand, Su Tao smiled. "You can come and look for me if there's anything in the future. After all, we're already friends."
"Friends?" He Xiaoyu was shocked as she raised her head to look at Su Tao.
"Yeah. True sentiments are seen in hard times, and we've already gotten through a difficult moment together and defeated the evil. So not only are we friends, but we're also comrades!" Su Tao sincerely replied.
"Thank you for not despising me! You're my very first friend in Jianghuai Hospital!" He Xiaoyu smiled.
Seeing that He Xiaoyu did not dare to look at him, Su Tao asked, "You're so pretty, and hardworking. I'm afraid that many people are trying to pursue you, right?"
He Xiaoyu's face blushed as she sighed in disappointment, "Many people have tried to ask me out, but I know that they're all acting. I would rather stay at home and entertain myself with books, movies, and yoga than to go out with them."
"You know yoga?" Su Tao was taken by surprise. Looking at He Xiaoyu's figure now, he could tell the curves despite her loose uniform.
"I was the President of the Yoga Club back in university." He Xiaoyu finally showed a confident expression when she mentioned it.
"You can't really judge the book by its cover!" After a brief pondering, Su Tao asked, "So, do you still want to transfer to the TCM Department?"
He Xiaoyu was briefly stunned before she awkwardly smiled. "It has already been resolved, so there's no need for that anymore."
"You're leaving some leeway for yourself." Su Tao smiled.
"Because I know that our hospital's TCM Department will develop once the TCM Building is built; so, at that time, I want to transfer over as a TCM nurse." He Xiaoyu was a little excited when she spoke of her future plans.
"Your thoughts are advanced. I promise you that I will fulfill your wish when the TCM Building is done. But to become a TCM nurse, you will have to start learning and prepare now. After all, it's an entirely different system from what you've learned before." Su Tao's eyes lit up. Physicians usually treated their patients themselves, and they did not have their own professional nurses.
He Xiaoyu's idea was appealing, and why couldn't they try having a spot for nurses in TCM as well?
After briefly chatting with He Xiaoyu, she left since she had many things to handle in the VIP ward.
Feeling bored, Su Tao sent a message to Cai Yan to reassure her that there's no need to worry about him since he would be able to discharge tomorrow.
He soon received a reply, which Cai Yan said that there's a small problem with the branch, and she has to stay there for two days. But since he's fine, then she would just stay there and follow up on the matter.
Upon seeing her reply, Su Tao instantly felt unhappy. But that was how humans typically were; when others were concerned about you, you would find it annoying. But when they're indifferent towards you, you would feel disappointed.
But he still felt that Cai Yan wouldn't throw him aside for a small matter, so he gave her a call.
It turned out that she had found a location for the branch store, but there was an issue with the landlord, which she was meticulous in discovering it and prevented a significant loss.
However, she had to follow up on it since she had to find a suitable one in the next two days.
After knowing the situation, Su Tao felt better. Cai Yan was competent. Right now, she has become an indispensable person in the Three Flavour Hall, and he was confident in letting her manage it.
At this moment, he felt that he was blissful. Not only could he earn money, but he also has a reputation, and most importantly, his lovers were all his assistants in his career.
This fact made him feel blissful!
Although everyone says that a married woman can support half the horizon, why would he have to worry about his career with so many assistants around?
