Starting as a War God: Global Goddesses Blocking my Door

At this moment, Su Jianguo looked at Ye Fan with contempt in his eyes.

As a senior leader in the environmental protection department, Su Jianguo was well aware of the unwritten rules within the system. He didn't believe that simply by Ye Fan greeting his wife, Gao Yaqin, she could be promoted to deputy director of the hospital.

"Dad, I'm not joking with you!" Seeing Su Jianguo lose his temper, Ye Fan touched his nose, speechless.

Su Jianguo snapped coldly, "Enough!"

"Dad, perhaps Ye Fan really can help!" Su Ruoxue seized the opportunity to speak up.

Now that Tang Renjie, the number one divine doctor of Central Plains, was extremely respectful towards Ye Fan, it was possible that with Ye Fan's help, her mother Gao Yaqin's issue could be resolved smoothly.

The little girl Ling'er also said, "Grandpa, please don't be angry. Daddy never lies."

"Hmph!" Su Jianguo lifted his head high, clearly, he did not believe Ye Fan's words.

Gao Yaqin took a deep breath and said, "Ye Fan, I appreciate your intention, but your father is right; there are too many hidden rules within the system. Many people are two-faced, and knowing people sometimes doesn't help. And many would fight fiercely for a promotion; there's no absolute fairness!"

"Mom, can you trust me?" Ye Fan blinked his eyes.

Gao Yaqin did not distrust Ye Fan, but having worked for many years, she was well aware of the ways of promotion in the hospital; it's just that she had always refused to go with the flow.

After a pause, Gao Yaqin said, "Ye Fan, it's not that I don't trust you, but you don't practice medicine, you can't be of much help."

After speaking, Gao Yaqin began to walk out of the hospital, visibly upset.

"Ya Qin, where are you going?" Seeing Gao Yaqin leaving, Su Jianguo quickly asked.

Gao Yaqin, unable to hide her anger, said, "I need to go to the hospital and find Qin Dachuan, and ask him why he has repeatedly blocked my promotion. I won't be able to sleep tonight unless I get to the bottom of this!"

"Ya Qin, it's almost ten o'clock. What's the use of seeking out President Qin now? When something happens, don't act impulsively. If a gift can solve the problem, don't offend people!" Su Jianguo tried to persuade her sincerely.

"Don't tell me what to do. I can't swallow this humiliation if I don't clarify things!"

With frustration visible in her expression, Gao Yaqin ignored Su Jianguo's attempts to stop her and walked straight toward the door.

Seeing her mother Gao Yaqin serious, Su Ruoxue feared that something might happen to her. She immediately said, "Ye Fan, hurry and follow her. Make sure nothing happens to Mom!"

"Okay, Ruoxue, you and Ling'er get some rest early. I'll be back soon!"

Ye Fan responded promptly and decisively chased after Gao Yaqin.

...

Meanwhile, in the deputy director's office at The First People's Hospital of Central Plains.

A man in a white lab coat said to deputy director Qin Dachuan with a fawning face, "President Qin, I'm really grateful to you for the promotion slot!"

"Director Wang, ah no, President Wang, we are all colleagues now. What's there to thank?" Qin Dachuan burst into laughter upon hearing this.

This sycophantic man was named Wang Han. He was thirty-eight years old and currently served as a department director, a well-known figure in the hospital.

In reality, Wang Han wasn't particularly skilled in medicine, but he had a knack for socializing; his interpersonal skills were off the charts.

In The First People's Hospital of Central Plains, President Chen Ping was often busy with various matters and faced a promotion in the next two years, which meant he rarely had time to run the hospital.

Aside from President Chen Ping, there were several deputy directors in the hospital, with Qin Dachuan being the most powerful among them.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, once Chen Ping was promoted and transferred, Qin Dachuan would be the next president of The First People's Hospital of Central Plains.

Therefore, Wang Han had set his sights on Qin Dachuan and often lavished him with flattery and gifts.

Every holiday season, Wang Han brought many presents to Qin Dachuan's house and prepared generous red envelopes for Qin Dachuan's children, winning Qin Dachuan's favor.

Qin Dachuan, several times disregarding hospital regulations, made exceptions to promote Wang Han, inciting envy among many.

An empty slot for the position of Vice President of the Hospital had come up, and Qin Dachuan had hesitated for a long time among several candidates before ultimately deciding to promote Wang Han to Vice President.

Having been addressed by Qin Dachuan as President Wang, Wang Han responded with a flattered expression, "All of this is President Qin's doing. In our hospital, everyone knows that once President Chen leaves, President Qin will be the head president. I will have to rely even more on President Qin's guidance. As long as President Qin needs me, I, Wang Han, will definitely serve loyally for my entire life!"

"Very good, indeed very good!" Qin Dachuan felt extremely pleased upon hearing this.

This made him feel that he hadn't misjudged, and that promoting Wang Han was the right choice.

The next moment, Wang Han reached into his pocket, took out a bank card, and placed it on the table, "President Qin, this is a token of my gratitude. Please accept it without fail!"

"Is that really necessary?" said Qin Dachuan with a beaming smile upon seeing it.

Wang Han smiled and said, "President Qin, it's only two million, not much, but you must accept it!"

"Well then, I shall humbly accept, hahaha!" laughed Qin Dachuan loudly, as he picked up the bank card from the table.

There were too many unwritten rules within the hospital, and over those two years, not only had he promoted Wang Han's position, but he also told Wang Han many of those hidden rules, which allowed Wang Han to make a lot of extra money.

Taking two million from Wang Han really wasn't much.

Seeing that Qin Dachuan accepted the money, Wang Han sycophantically said, "President Qin mustn't be polite with me, if it weren't for President Qin, where would I, Wang Han, be today!"

"Not bad, very good indeed, I like your attitude, Wang Han!" Qin Dachuan laughed heartily.

Knock knock knock!

Just as the two men were being complicit in their corruption, a knocking sound came from outside the door.

Annoyed at being disturbed at such a time, Qin Dachuan asked curtly, "Who is it?"

"President Qin, it's me!" Gao Yaqin's voice came from outside.

"How come it's her?"

Hearing Gao Yaqin's voice, Qin Dachuan frowned.

Wang Han considerately said, "Director Gao has come, should I step out for a moment?"

"No need! This matter of your promotion is something I'd have to clarify with Gao Yaqin sooner or later!" responded Qin Dachuan.

Immediately after, Qin Dachuan commanded authoritatively, "Come in!"

"President Qin, what do you mean by this? Based on my seniority, shouldn't I be the one to be promoted this time?"

On entering Qin Dachuan's office, Gao Yaqin confronted him with a darkened face.

"Director Gao, I admit, you have a long history here, but aren't you currently holding both the positions of Chief Nurse and Department Head? What are you dissatisfied with? Director Wang is famously excellent within the hospital, and promoting Director Wang to Vice President—what's wrong with that?" countered Qin Dachuan from his high ground.

Gao Yaqin retorted unconvinced, "This doesn't follow the rules! As far as I'm aware, Wang Han was just an ordinary doctor before and was repeatedly promoted by you because of your good relationship these past two years. Now, you're breaking the rules again by making him the Vice President of the hospital. Aren't you afraid of what people will say behind your back?"

Qin Dachuan lost his temper, "Gao Yaqin, your words are really unpleasant. Are you questioning my judgment?"

Gao Yaqin was furious, "You have to give me an explanation for this, or else I won't accept it!"

"Give you an explanation? Gao Yaqin, you really think too highly of yourself!"

Staring at Gao Yaqin, Qin Dachuan burst out angrily, "You come to my office in the middle of the night, just to be insubordinate? Do you know that I am your superior? I think you're just crazy about becoming the Vice President. Wang Han, go call the security, and get this mad woman Gao Yaqin thrown out immediately!"

"Yes, President Qin!" Wang Han smirked gleefully.

"If you want to throw her out, have you sought my opinion?"

Just as Qin Dachuan resolved to have Gao Yaqin thrown out, Ye Fan, with a solemn demeanor, strode in.
