Chapter 247: Stealing a Chicken Only to Lose the Rice
At this mont, Jiang An was sitting in her seat, calmly watching a colleague who had stood up to challenge her, staring at her for several seconds.
She recognized the person as Doctor Du, a female doctor from the office next to hers. It seed that Doctor Du had been publicly criticized and stripped of her qualification for the title evaluation for the next three years due to a surgical mistake. Ever since Jiang An was parachuted into this hospital, Doctor Du’s attitude towards her had always been unfriendly.
"Director, I seriously suspect Doctor Jiang’s academic credentials are fraudulent and that she is truly not qualified for the role of attending physician." The woman sumd up with indignation in front of everyone, her expression full of a self-righteous attitude.
The eting room was already abuzz when the directly questioned director cleared his throat, signaling for everyone to calm down.
"Doctor Du, please take a seat." The director gestured with a wave of his hand, trying to placate her, but the woman continued to be relentless in seeking an explanation.
Jiang An, who had not made any movents until then, suddenly stood up, casually clapped her hands to draw everyone’s attention.
Despite such allegations, her expression did not betray even a hint of panic. Jiang An solemnly said in front of everyone, "Since Doctor Du is now questioning my qualifications to work at our hospital, I have no choice but to present evidence to prove my qualifications."
Speaking, she went up to the stage with the director’s permission and started using the eting room’s multidia. As the white screen slowly descended, she took out her mobile phone, enabled screen projection on the computer, and opened up an electronic version of her resu for everyone to see.
She stood on the stage and calmly introduced her background: direct PhD program at A University dical College, then an internship at the much-desired City Hospital after graduation. In the anti, she published several papers in well-known dical journals. She then went on to further her studies at M country’s top dical universities, obtained her PhD a year ago, followed by an internship at a world-renowned research institute and even published a number of outstanding papers on clinical practice abroad.
"Here are my bachelor’s and master’s degree certificates, as well as my Ph.D. certificate, followed by a collection of my papers," Jiang An projected the images of her certificates, candidly telling the audience that they were welco to verify the authenticity if they had any doubts.
The crowd was stunned by such an impressive resu, and then saw Jiang An reveal two photos, thodically introducing, "This is my graduation photo at A University. The person in the middle, I believe everyone recognizes, is my ntor Professor Chen Minhan."
Anyone involved in the dical field in Jing City would surely know this legendary figure from A University dical College, a nationally renowned professor.
Next, she flipped to her graduation photo from M country. Such a move had already caused an uproar in the eting room, and her colleague who had taken the initiative to challenge her was now visibly panicking.
After all, with such an impressive background, it’s probable that even so experts in the hospital wouldn’t reach such a level. It really was so kind of slumming for Jiang An to co here after returning from abroad.
After Jiang An finished her presentation, she unplugged her phone’s data cable and stated squarely, "My employnt here was through a series of official procedures such as application submission, interviews, and handover processes. Both the director and the head of the departnt can attest to this."
"Doctor Du, do you think a resu like mine qualifies to stand in this position?" Jiang An’s gaze shifted back to Doctor Du, who had challenged her, and she calmly asked for a response.
The woman, realizing she had been face-slapped, slumped into her chair, her complexion so unsightly it was frightening, and she was too flustered to et Jiang An’s eyes.
After such a farce, the truth was clear, and the groundless public opinion that had preceded it naturally dissipated. After the eting, everyone left the room, still exclaiming over Jiang An’s introduction.
In their eyes, Doctor Du had truly attempted to steal a chicken only to end up losing her rice.
Jiang An hadn’t expected such a sudden attack today but since soone had brought these rumors to the fore, she had to respond. Perhaps after today’s events, it would seal off so of the idle chatter.
Clear and self-vindicated, her path had relied solely on her own near-decade of hard work and solid credentials.
And true talent always stands tall with confidence.
Coincidentally, just as she walked back to her departnt, she encountered Doctor Du in the restroom. The woman looked panicked, hunched over the sink washing her hands, and her gaze grew unnatural upon noticing Jiang An’s approach.
Jiang An calmly advanced to the tap, glanced at the pale-faced woman standing beside her, and asked, "Doctor Du, was it you who spread the rumor that I was being kept?"
Colleagues inevitably spread gossip, but such rumors would not gain traction without so instigation.
The woman trembled at her cold questioning and stayed silent, biting her lips. She now looked like a dog that had lost its ho.
Seeing her silenced, the answer was already apparent. Jiang An turned her head to look at the nervous person in the mirror, smiling slightly as she advised, "Doctor Du, instead of racking your brains to slander others, why not focus more on your professional skills?"
Only after Jiang An had dried her hands and left the restroom did the ridiculed woman remain motionless, resting her head on the sink, thinking back on Jiang An’s mockery, clenching her teeth in anger.
As it approached the end of the day, the dispirited woman changed her clothes, ready to leave the hospital, and saw Jiang An get into a black car not too far away. Two nurse aides stood by, whispering about the identity of the person, their voices reaching her ears.
"Gosh, Doctor Jiang’s ex-husband is really handso."
"Yeah, if I were Doctor Jiang, I wouldn’t have divorced."
Hearing the words "ex-husband," the woman froze on the spot. She had only been envious of Jiang An getting into luxury cars and had spitefully spread rumors about Jiang An being kept by a rich man. She never imagined that the vice president of Gao Group was actually Jiang An’s ex-husband.
In this light, Jiang An was not only beautiful and highly educated but also had such outstanding suitors. Compared to her own precarious job situation, it was a world apart.
She used to be the attending physician of the departnt, recently demoted due to a work mistake, and not long after, Jiang An had arrived to take over her position. It was prolonged jealousy and spite that drove her to do what she did today, yet she never expected it to entirely backfire on her.
Why should all the good things... Why did they all fall upon her? The woman watched the car drive away, clenching her fists tightly in resentnt.
