148: Chapter 146 Doctor Yang’s Tactics 148: Chapter 146 Doctor Yang’s Tactics Tangyu arrived at the Linshan Middle School clinic, took out his key to unlock the door, and found to his surprise that his key could not open the door.
On closer inspection, he realized that the lock had been changed.
Tangyu’s eyebrows knitted slightly in confusion.
What was going on here?
Had Doctor Yang changed it?
This made Tangyu sowhat puzzled.
Why would the lock be changed without any apparent reason?
If it really was Doctor Yang who changed it, why hadn’t he notified Tangyu?
Tangyu didn’t have Doctor Yang’s phone number; there were records in the clinic, but he couldn’t get in.
With no phone and no ho address for Doctor Yang, Tangyu began to worry about where to find Doctor Yang to get the key and ask what was going on.
After pondering for a mont, Tangyu shook his head and decided to go in anyway.
As he spoke, Tangyu pressed his palm against the keyhole and sent a stream of Inner Strength into it, completely filling the lock and mimicking the shape of the key.
Then, with a powerful effort, there was a ‘click’ sound, and the clinic’s door opened.
Using Inner Strength to unlock the door was a first-ti attempt for Tangyu, and to his surprise, it was quite easy; it hardly took any effort.
This minor difficulty certainly posed no problem for him.
Having opened the clinic, Tangyu proceeded to open all the windows, clean up the interior, and check the dicines.
If a particular dicine was running low, he would have to report it to the school for replenishnt, which was one of the most basic tasks.
Just as Tangyu finished up, he saw a figure walk in, standing at the door and blocking the light.
Seeing this figure with a sowhat fierce look on his face, Tangyu smiled faintly, guessing that his suspicions were correct, and that this incident had been intentionally caused by Doctor Yang.
The person who entered was, of course, none other than Doctor Yang himself.
Tangyu was a bit bewildered.
He hadn’t stolen Doctor Yang’s job, and besides, he only worked on Mondays; the rest of the ti, it was Doctor Yang who was on duty.
There was absolutely no conflict of interest between him and Doctor Yang.
Doctor Yang should have no reason to plot against him.
Furthermore, when Tangyu had co last week, Doctor Yang had been quite polite to him.
So why had he suddenly turned hostile?
“Yo, Doctor Yang, you’re here too.
It’s my turn to work today,” Tangyu said, unruffled.
Doctor Yang looked at Tangyu, with a few unusual expressions flickering through his eyes.
He was sowhat baffled as to how his newly changed lock had been opened by Tangyu.
Moreover, there was no visible sign of damage on the door.
Could Tangyu be an expert locksmith?
“What, I can’t co when you’re working?” Doctor Yang said.
“Of course not, Doctor Yang.
You can co over anyti.
I just said that because I was afraid you might have forgotten, that’s all,” Tangyu replied.
Doctor Yang glanced at the lock on the door, his expression sowhat fierce as he said, “What?
Tangyu, when did you beco an expert at entering rooms?
I just changed the lock, and you managed to get in without a sound?
I was actually coming to open the door for you, but it seems I was making an unnecessary move.”
Doctor Yang’s implication of bla was clear to Tangyu.
Although he was sowhat displeased with Doctor Yang’s actions, he didn’t show it and casually said, “Oh, is that right, Doctor Yang?
The lock was changed?
I had no idea.
When I arrived, the door was already open.
I thought you had forgotten to lock it.”
Doctor Yang’s face turned pale, and he was caught off guard by Tangyu’s retort, with a flicker of anger in his eyes he said, “Hmph, do you really think I would make such a low-level mistake?
It seems you don’t take seriously enough.
Do you think I would change the lock and then discuss it with you and hand over the key?
I saw clearly how you opened the door just now.
I didn’t expect you to have such a skill.
You’re wasting your talent not working as an ergency locksmith.
Why bother being a school doctor here?”
Tangyu pursed his lips.
He had not wanted to quibble with Doctor Yang.
He didn’t have to give face to the head teacher of Senior Class 1, since he had nothing to do with him.
But Doctor Yang was different; they were both school doctors who would see each other regularly.
Besides, there were many work-related matters which he would undoubtedly need to coordinate with Doctor Yang in the future.
If the working relationship was poor, it would be quite unpleasant.
So, Tangyu didn’t want to say too much in order to avoid damaging their cordiality.
However, judging by his deanor, Doctor Yang was hell-bent on being aggressively confrontational today, determined to have a showdown with him.
“Doctor Yang, you can’t say that.
I did open the door, but I didn’t damage the lock.
Today I found out that the key didn’t work because the lock had been changed, so I thought you must have been too busy to tell .
It’s not a big deal.
But I don’t have your phone number, and I don’t know where you live.
When I saw I couldn’t get into the clinic, I got a bit anxious and on the spur of the mont, I opened the door to enter.
If you’re angry about this, Doctor Yang, then I apologize to you.
I didn’t an any disrespect,” Tangyu said.
Hearing Tangyu take the initiative to apologize, Doctor Yang found his calculations disrupted.
After all, they say it’s hard to slap a smiling face.
“Hmph, don’t make it sound so nice.
Since I locked the door, I would naturally co to open it when it was ti to start work, as I have a responsibility to the school.
You couldn’t even wait and entered privately, isn’t this a disregard for my presence?
Tangyu, at first, I thought you were quite honest, but now, it seems that might not be the case.
It looks like the old saying is true: ‘You can know a person’s face but not their heart.’ That’s why I’ve decided from now on, only I will manage the keys to the clinic.
Starting from next Monday, I will also co here to work,” Doctor Yang declared.
Tangyu was slightly taken aback, not expecting Doctor Yang to pull this move on him.
Wasn’t this a blatant usurpation of power?
He had already made arrangents with the school to start working on Monday, taking over the school dical office and being responsible for all its operations by himself.
Doctor Yang was well aware of this and had agreed to it.
Now, he had the audacity to try to seize control, not only changing the locks and keeping the keys for himself but also planning to be on duty on Monday.
Wasn’t it obvious that he intended to squeeze Tangyu out?
A cold sneer crept into Tangyu’s heart.
It seed that Doctor Yang was indeed acting under Wang Ba’s orders, aiming to trouble him and hoping to force him to quit.
Even if Tangyu wasn’t inford enough, it would be a good opportunity to humiliate him and put him in his place.
This move was ruthless.
Since things had reached this point, Tangyu knew he couldn’t keep a low profile and endure it any longer, Doctor Yang was dead set on making things difficult for him on behalf of Wang Ba.
Was a little school doctor like himself actually trying to bully him?
Would Tangyu let him have his way?
“Doctor Yang, I’m sowhat confused about what you an,” said Tangyu calmly, looking at Doctor Yang.
Doctor Yang stared back at Tangyu with a cold, mocking smile, “Confused?
What’s there to be confused about?
Haven’t I made myself clear?
You’re just an intern the school hired, don’t act like you’re in charge of the school dical office.
After all, you’re just my assistant.
I don’t trust you to run the dical office on your own, so I’ll be coming in on Monday.
What don’t you understand?
Little Tang, there’s one thing I want you to understand, I’ve been working in this dical office for over a decade, and what I say goes.
If you want to work here, you’d better obediently stay under and follow my orders.
Do you understand now?”
The corners of Tangyu’s mouth lifted in a cool smile.
He lived by the creed, “Do not offend others if they do not offend you, but if others offend , I will not be tolerant.”
“And what if I don’t agree?” Tangyu said indifferently.
Doctor Yang’s face turned fierce, and he glared at Tangyu, raising his voice, “You don’t agree?
What right do you have to disagree?
You’ve just started working and you’re already getting too full of yourself?
You have the nerve to disagree?
The school dical office has always been under my control.
If you don’t agree, then get the hell out of here.
I don’t need an arrogant intern like you.”
Tangyu chuckled, “Is that your goal?” he said to Doctor Yang, with an air of casual indifference, not treating Doctor Yang as a threat or an opponent.
To deal with such small fry, Tangyu truly felt disdain.
“What do you an?” Doctor Yang frowned.
“Or should I say, is that Wang Ba’s goal?” Tangyu continued.
Doctor Yang’s face suddenly changed.
He wasn’t an idiot and could hear the subtext in Tangyu’s words, realizing that Wang Ba was involved.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.
Choose now, whether to stay and work honestly or to leave this instant.
I don’t have the leisure to babble so much with you,” Doctor Yang said bluntly.
Tangyu remained unhurried, “Doctor Yang, are you trying to take advantage of my youth, or are you mocking your own poor mory?
You should understand that I am not an intern, nor your assistant.
I’m a doctor hired by Linshan Middle School, just like you, a school doctor of Linshan Middle School.
You have more seniority than I do, which I respect, but that doesn’t an you can order around.
We are colleagues, not superior and subordinate.
Surely you understand that?
Even if you don’t, you don’t need to pretend to be confused here, right?
I work only one day a week, and on this day, I am solely in charge of the dical office.
Surely these details were clearly discussed in the principal’s office, weren’t they?”
Doctor Yang’s face twitched fiercely, not expecting this young man to dare bring up the principal and blatantly confront him.
“What are you implying?
The principal said you’re in charge alone, and you think you’re my equal?
You’re still too green, my boy.
Your dical skills are just beginning.
Do you think you can handle it all by yourself?
This is for your own good, don’t be ungrateful.
Moreover, if anything happens in the dical office, the biggest responsibility falls on , which is why I’ve decided to co in on Monday,” Doctor Yang said, his face turning a shade of iron blue.
“A re school doctor, I am confident in my ability to handle the responsibilities, Doctor Yang doesn’t need to worry about .
If anything happens during my shift, I will take full responsibility and it won’t involve you at all.
You seem to be overthinking it.
Doctor Yang, I appreciate your concern, and I’m not unappreciative, but as a doctor, you can say anything else about , but please do not question my dical skills, as it is an insult to my character,” said Tangyu.
Doctor Yang’s face muscles twitched with fury and he glared at Tangyu, not expecting him to be such a tough nut to crack, impervious to both soft and hard tactics.
Furthermore, filled with youthful vigor, Tangyu didn’t hesitate at all to turn against him, truly fearless.
However, he had promised Wang Ba to give Tangyu a hard ti and now was not the ti to back down.
Besides, after things had co this far, to retreat would be too embarrassing, wouldn’t it?
