Chapter 144
The next day, the city hospital was as busy as ever.
Everleigh only took three days off. She went to work early in the morning and took an intern on rounds.
"You need to pay more attention to the patient in room 6. There is a slight issue in the results these few days. Check if he didn't follow the doctor's orders and if he had secretly eaten meals other than the ones provided by the hospital. His blood sugar is too high. You must make it clear to his family members to control him."
"Okay, Dr. Trevino."
"Have you done the blood test for the patient in room number 9?"
"Yes."
"Go to the laboratory to get the test results and send them to my office later."
"Everleigh." As they were talking, Christopher walked towards them.
Everleigh raised her gaze slightly from the case files in her hand and looked in front of her. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of several female interns behind Christopher drooling over him. She was a little speechless.
Christopher was tame that day and did not tease the interns. "Mr. Lawson called for a meeting. Have you finished your rounds?"
"Meeting? Now?" Everleigh looked at her watch and said, "Yes, I'm done. Let's go together."
After that, she handed the case files to the intern next to her and went to the conference room with Christopher.
"Why is there a sudden meeting? We were not notified in advance."
"I heard from the head nurse that the city is doing primary health care refinement and resource allocation. I reckon that a group of medical practitioners will need to be sent to the suburbs."
"Where?"
"Why? Do you want to go?" Christopher glanced at her. "Forget it. You have a lot on your plate already. If it's voluntary, do not make any rash decisions."
"It's okay if it's not far away."
Everleigh smiled and when they arrived at the conference room, Christopher pushed the door open.
As Christopher expected, the director suddenly called for a meeting for primary health care refinement. The city hospital corresponded with a few towns and villages in the suburbs around Ocpeace City. They were sending a group of medical experts to train the local doctors. They would also conduct public welfare activities for the local villagers to educate and promote health knowledge.
Mr. Lawson said excitedly, "Although these activities are voluntary, everyone is encouraged to actively respond. Doctors should have the spirit of wanting to save lives and rescue the wounded. I hope that the medical staff in our hospital are responsible medical practitioners."
Everleigh flipped through the information in her hand and felt a tug on her right hand. Christopher pushed his meeting minutes to her and on it, he had written, "The one who goes is an idiot."
Next to it was also a drawing of a tortoise.
Everleigh could not hold back her laughter. She lowered her head and laughed.
Unfortunately, it was silent in the conference room. Most of the specialists in the hospital were not willing to do such basic-level work. No one spoke, so the laugh became a little unexpected.
Mr. Lawson's voice stopped abruptly. "Dr. Trevino, what are you laughing at?"
All eyes fell on Everleigh.
"Ah?" Everleigh's smile froze, and she said awkwardly, "No, I wasn't laughing."
"Do you think what I said was funny?"
"No, of course not."
Mr. Lawson looked at her with a serious face. "I just saw what you were talking to Dr. Meyer. What did you write? Let me have a look."
Christopher's expression changed.
Mr. Lawson was very narrow-minded. If he saw what Christopher wrote in the meeting minutes, it would be the end for him.
"Director," Christopher straightened his back immediately. As he closed the meeting minutes, he raised his voice and said, "I'm discussing with Dr. Trevino about which village we should go to."
As soon as he finished his words, there was a pin- drop silence and Everleigh was flabbergasted.
What in the world?
Just a moment ago, who said that the person who went is an idiot?
Mr. Lawson adjusted his glasses and said, "Oh? Are you and Dr. Trevino planning to sign
up?"
"That's right. Both of us just came back from overseas, so we should go to the suburbs to conduct public welfare activities. As young people, we should not be too impetuous."
Everleigh heard this and rolled her eyes.
"Dr. Trevino is willing to go too?"
Everleigh felt cornered at Mr. Lawson's question. She internally cursed Christopher, nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, we should serve the people."
"Very well, Dr. Trevino and Dr. Meyer have set an excellent example. I hope that the junior doctors in the hospital can learn a thing or two from them."
After the meeting, Everleigh submitted the application form with Mr. Lawson staring dead at her before she left the conference room.
Christopher caught up to her. He grabbed Everleigh's shoulder and said, "Hey, wait for me. I didn't mean to do that."
Everleigh shrugged his grip off and rolled her eyes at him. "Who told me that the one who goes is an idiot?"
"Who said that? How could I not know?"
Everleigh rolled her eyes again and said, "The idiot said it." "Oh, don't be angry. I'm the idiot. I'm the idiot, alright? Let's go. Let me treat you to a meal."
Although Everleigh wanted to hit Christopher's smile right off his face, she could not bring herself to do it. She was dragged by him to head out for a meal.
It was already noon. Several luxury cars drove by the entrance of Silla Hotel, one of the landmarks in the downtown of Ocpeace City. The last one was a black Mercedes-Benz. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
A project negotiation ended twenty minutes ago in Silla Hotel, a subsidiary of Godfrey Group. It was held in the conference room of the administrative building.
The Mercedes-Benz drove out of the entrance of the Silla Hotel and headed towards the Godfrey Mansion through Woodland Street.
The man's cold face was reflected in the rearview mirror. His facial features were sharp and prominent, and there was no expression on his face.
"Mr. Godfrey, this is the list of partnerships given by the Tanford Project review team."
Moses handed over a document folder from the passenger seat and said, "They proposed to choose between Kerton and Magnum as our long-term supplier."
Theodore took the document, flipped through a few pages before closing it. "Give it to the Bailey Group."
It stunned Moses when he heard it. "Give it to the Bailey Group?"
The Tanford Project was a medium- sized project that the Godfrey Group started two years ago. The requirements for raw materials were very high. Bailey Group was not even in the top three enterprises in Ocpeace City. Although they had benefited from their daughter and received a lot of care from the industry in recent years, it was still not strong enough.
Theodore was a fair man, especially for his job. He never relaxed his work expectations just because of personal relationships. It was strange for him to act like this.
"Are you sure?" Moses carefully looked at his boss's face and said, "The Bailey Group is not experienced enough. Although they have also submitted a tender, they were eliminated in the first round, which you have tacitly approved."
Back then, when Moses saw the Bailey Group's tender, he even asked Theodore about it. He was afraid that he would offend both parties.
Back then, Theodore only said three words, "Go by standards."
It had only been half a year and the bidding process was complete. Why the sudden change of heart?
Theodore put aside the closed document and did not say another word. His cold gaze was distant and no one could tell what he was thinking. However, no matter what, whatever he said was final.
Moses corrected himself and said, "I'll talk to the review team tonight."
The sound of a phone vibrating sounded in the car. Theodore's gaze sank. When he saw the contents of the message that popped up on his phone, his eyes narrowed.
