Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 986: Chapter 986: Exposing

"Dean Jin, are you sure?"

This time it wasn’t just Bai Xiao asking, but also four others.

The five of them felt like burdens being cast out by the hospital. They were determined to leave, being ostracized like this, and even if they returned in a year, they couldn’t be sure what positions would be available, or what personnel changes might occur.

These people were ready to burn their bridges; they had no powerful backers, they had nothing.

At this point, there was no use pretending to flatter the dean.

Flattery wouldn’t work either; it was impossible to keep these people.

So don’t expect this group of five to cover for anyone.

"Yes, it’s being personally overseen by Deputy Dean Hou. Why, is there a problem?"

Dean Jin hoped nothing would go wrong this time.

This time, Bai Xiao laughed heartily, along with the other four.

"Dean Jin, you’d better let Deputy Dean Hou confirm. We can’t just casually take over this batch of equipment and medication. If something goes wrong and causes deaths, who would be to blame?" Bai Xiao pointed at the stuff in the car.

Dean Jin’s heart sank, and he turned back to glare at Deputy Dean Hou.

Hou Baopu shuddered at the sight.

His mentor looked like he was about to explode.

He hurried forward, "Alright, Doctor Bai, there’s nothing wrong with this batch of equipment and medicine. Just get on the bus quickly. I’ll have someone take you to the train station, missing the train wouldn’t be good."

Trying to play dumb and muddle through the situation.

His resentment towards Bai Xiao grew even more.

He hadn’t handed the list to Bai Xiao earlier, precisely to avoid giving her reason to make trouble.

Unexpectedly, the woman really came to make trouble.

"Yes, yes, hurry and get on the bus. We’ll take you to the train station. Safe travels and may you return triumphant."

Dean Jin had no choice but to play dumb as well. He knew his student well after all these years; just from his words, he could tell there was definitely something wrong with this batch of equipment and drugs. With eyes watching from everywhere, and journalists outside, the matter couldn’t be blown up. If it did, it would be beyond his ability to manage.

Unfortunately, Bai Xiao was there to make trouble, and there was no way she’d let Dean Jin and Deputy Dean Hou off that easily, it would be an injustice to herself.

If Dean Jin had decided to bully these five, then Bai Xiao wouldn’t be to blame for retaliating.

"Dean Jin, Deputy Dean Hou. If this is the equipment and medication, we can’t take them. We’re going to support doctors and patients in impoverished rural areas, not to create difficulties for them. This equipment is almost unusable. Even in our hospital, it’s discarded. It’s impossible to use. If I’m not mistaken, this electrocardiograph machine doesn’t work at all. You’re welcome to plug it in and try.

And these drugs, they’ve been expired for three years. If something happens after giving them to patients, can I stand by my medical ethics? Can I fulfill my duty as a doctor?"

Bai Xiao unceremoniously dumped items from the car, scattering them all over, especially those few machines. They looked simple, but anyone could tell from their appearance that this equipment could not possibly be used.

Deputy Dean Hou’s face turned black instantly.

Originally, he thought this little girl just had some backing and was being arrogant with Dr. Xue and Director Zhang. But putting her in the rural medical team should have been a major blow, a time when she would lie low and not bother with these things. noveldrama

Who would have expected her to be full of energy, clearly intent on making trouble.

It’s sheer arrogance; did she think exposing this in front of everyone would change anything? After all, he’s the deputy dean, with longstanding connections and relationships in the hospital. Who would dare to offend him to his face?

Let’s not mention that Dean Jin was still his mentor.

Who’s going to protect someone like Bai Xiao over his own student?

"Deputy Dean Hou, what’s going on?" Dean Jin wasn’t stupid; he’d already sensed that something was very wrong today.

Even if he had to put on a show, as the dean, he couldn’t play favorites.

Hou Baopu explained with a smile, "Dean, the hospital’s budget is tight this year. Even though these are discarded, these second-hand equipment are still usable, especially for rural hospitals with poor conditions. These are still important for them.

Although these drugs have been expired for three years, they’re actually still usable. Moreover, these aren’t antibiotic drugs, as we’re going to remote areas where the people mainly suffer from minor ailments and chronic diseases.

So this time we’re bringing mostly medicines for common illnesses like colds and fevers. These drugs won’t kill anyone."

"Deputy Dean Hou, what are you saying? If these drugs won’t kill anyone, then go ahead and take them in front of me. After all, they aren’t antibiotics, just ordinary cold and fever medicines; eating them won’t harm your body."

Zhang Huan was furious; he specifically came to watch this drama at his junior sister’s invitation, only to find the spectacle nauseating.

If he’d initially suspected his junior sister was causing trouble, these words lightly uttered by Deputy Dean Hou suggested that he didn’t care at all about patients, not treating them as human beings.

Is this even a doctor?

Deputy Dean Hou panicked, "Director Zhang, you can’t say that. Our hospital has many staff and equipment, consuming a lot financially each year. It’s impossible to meet all needs, not to mention that we have to participate in rural poverty alleviation projects. This is the only solution I could think of.

Otherwise, how would we squeeze out the funds? It’s easy for you to talk, but just one CT machine in your surgery department costs millions every year, and the cost of replacing equipment parts adds up. The state only allocates a part of this money, the rest the hospital has to bear on its own.

I’m just left without options."

Bai Xiao sneered, "Deputy Dean Hou, with such an attitude, why don’t we just skip rural poverty alleviation altogether? Regardless of where the patient is from, even if they’re from a remote rural place, they are still a person, and we can’t just experiment on them. If expired drugs are safe, then why bother with expiry dates? I truly question how you, as a doctor, maintain your medical ethics and skills to hold the position of deputy dean.

Being indifferent to patients’ lives and deaths, yet still a deputy dean at my esteemed Ruiyin Hospital, I suddenly feel ashamed."

Not hitting Hou Baopu would be a disservice to herself after the slight sabotage she did with the machines and medicines.
