As Wu Tian reached the entrance of the health clinic, Zhao Xiaoli emerged, supporting her father.
Wu Tian quickly stepped forward and asked, "Zhao Xiaoli, what's the situation inside? Have you seen a doctor?"
Upon seeing Wu Tian, Zhao Xiaoli's delicate eyebrows immediately shot up.
She said with evident displeasure, "Wu Tian, how dare you ask me such a question?"
"I heard you're the director, right? We're all from the same village. What you're doing is going too far!"
Wu Tian couldn't help but ask, "Zhao Xiaoli, what are you talking about? What happened?"
Zhao Xiaoli explained, "My father had a fever, and I brought him here to see a doctor. But they said the quota for today was full and couldn't register us. Yet, I clearly saw those doctors playing games on their computers!"
"Everyone in the village was happy about setting up a health clinic, and every household contributed. But with you running things like this, how are we supposed to get medical treatment? It would be better if we didn't have this clinic at all!"
Seeing Zhao Xiaoli filled with anger, Wu Tian felt a pang of guilt.
He said apologetically, "I'm truly sorry. This wasn't my decision; they acted on their own. I was just about to go in and talk to them!"
After speaking, Wu Tian touched Zhao Xiaoli's father, channeling his spiritual energy into him, and then added, "Your father is fine now."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure they handle things properly this time. This situation won't happen again."
Seeing that her father was indeed alright, Zhao Xiaoli's expression softened.
She said, "In any case, you go and sort it out. If you can't handle it, the villagers definitely won't support this health clinic anymore."
Wu Tian nodded and then hurried into the health clinic.
As soon as he entered the office, Wu Tian indeed saw doctors playing games and watching videos, showing none of the professionalism expected at work.
This situation immediately ignited Wu Tian's anger.
His emotions, rarely losing control, erupted as he shouted, "What are you all doing!"
The doctors glanced at Wu Tian casually, then acted as if he didn't exist, returning their gaze to their computers, showing no intention of acknowledging him.
Seeing this, Wu Tian became even more furious and yelled, "Where is Luo Xiang? Call him out here!"
Still, no one responded to Wu Tian. Some even burst into laughter while watching videos.
It was unclear if they were laughing at the video or at Wu Tian.
Wu Tian knew that if he didn't take some decisive action, it wouldn't work.
So, he walked directly to the electrical panel and pulled the main circuit breaker!
The office was immediately plunged into darkness, and everyone's computers shut down. Only then did they all look at Wu Tian in unison, saying in angry tones, "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Can you listen to me properly now?"
"Listen to you my ass!" A doctor slammed his chair down and stood up, "Didn't you see I was playing a game? Cutting off my power, are you out of your mind?"
Wu Tian retorted coldly, "Playing games during work hours, and you have the nerve to say that?"
"I'm cutting off your power today, but if this happens again, I'll throw you out directly!"
"Throw me out? You think you're capable of that!" the doctor fumed.
"You, a mere village doctor, dare to treat me like this? I'll beat you up today!"
With that, he lunged at Wu Tian, swinging his fists.
Wu Tian's gaze was exceptionally icy. As the doctor charged, he simply pushed him, sending the doctor sprawling onto the ground.
The doctor, unwilling to concede, charged at Wu Tian again.
Wu Tian grabbed him by the collar and said sternly, "Behave yourself!"
From Wu Tian's eyes, the doctor seemed to see something terrifying emerge.
His anger vanished instantly, and he dared not say another word.
Wu Tian's actions had silenced the room.
He scanned everyone present and then said, "I'll ask again, where is Luo Xiang?"
The doctors looked at each other, remaining silent.
At that moment, a deep voice sounded from behind him, "I'm here. Is there something you need to instruct me on?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Wu Tian turned around and saw Luo Xiang's face.
Luo Xiang's expression was also somewhat grim.
He walked into the office, deliberately bumping into Wu Tian as he passed, and then said, "What's going on here?"
The doctor immediately chimed in, "Doctor Luo, he cut off our power and assaulted someone. You must stand up for us!"
Luo Xiang immediately fixed his gaze on Wu Tian and said, "Director Wu, what is the meaning of this?"
"We came here to work, not to be your beasts of burden. What right do you have to hit people!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "You know you're here to work? I thought you didn't!"
"Since you're here to work, then tell me, why are the medicines and registration fees here more expensive than outside? And why is there a limit on registration?"
Luo Xiang sneered and said, "Oh, I thought it was something major. So it's just about these trivial matters!"
"Do you want to know? Fine, I'll tell you."
"The reason our medicines are sold at a higher price is because of the transportation costs from the county to your village. Can it not be expensive?"
"As for the registration fees and quotas, you don't need to think too hard about it. Who are we? We are the elite team from the People's Hospital!"
"Honestly, it's your honor to have us as doctors here. Normally, you wouldn't even get to see our faces."
"For doctors of our caliber, is it wrong for the registration fee to be high? Is it wrong to see fewer patients a day? This is the treatment we deserve!"
"Otherwise, do you think we're all like you, a useless village doctor, who can only treat minor ailments because you can't cure serious diseases?"
Although Luo Xiang's words seemed reasonable and well-founded, they were actually baseless.
Regarding medication costs, the hospital provides subsidies, so there should be no price increase; in fact, it should be cheaper.
As for registration fees and quotas, since these individuals have come here, they should not be operating under the People's Hospital's system but rather the health clinic's system.
If they are allowed to treat themselves as precious commodities, what is the point of carrying out this work?
Therefore, he said coldly, "I don't care what your previous identities were, but since you are here, please forget your past identities!"
"You want to act like lords while working here? I think you're dreaming!"
