"Ms. Manh Kieu is the leading expert in the Department of Cardiology."

Tham Ngon looked at her tenderly.

"What's wrong?"

"I am a key talent at the training hospital."

"Whoever it is..."

"You must cooperate with me unconditionally."

Every word. It was like a slap straight to my face. This surgery... It's a plan I've been preparing for three months. From pre-operative assessment. To the entire surgical procedure. All completed by my own hands. Even... The provincial leaders personally asked me to be the chief surgeon. But now... He wants me to stand behind and be Tran Lo's assistant. My stomach suddenly felt tight. The nails were almost stuck into the palms of the hands. Right at that moment. The phone vibrates. Is a new message.

"Director Manh."

"I am the director of Pho Nhan Hospital."

"I already know that you were disqualified from reviewing the chief physician."

"Our hospital always welcomes you to join."

I stared at the screen. Pho Nhan Hospital. One of only two class 3A hospitals in the city. Modern equipment. Top team of doctors. Three years ago. They once invited me over. But because he wanted Tham Ngon to smoothly sit in the position of dean. I refused. Right after that. An email was sent. It's a remuneration regime. Position: Head of the Department of Cardiology. Position: Head doctor. Annual salary: 800,000 yuan. Independent research room. Full research funding. Look at each line of those words. My eye sockets suddenly felt hot. I devoted myself to this hospital for six years. Work until you forget to live and forget to die. In the end... Still just a vice dean. Annual salary is less than 300,000 yuan. I even brought in research funds myself. I also have no right to step foot in the laboratory. Every time I want to develop a new topic. Everyone had to take the report and ask from one person to another. Meanwhile. Pho Nhan Hospital was willing to give me the position I had craved for so long. That's not an olive branch. It's a recognition of my abilities. I texted back.

"But I'm pregnant now."

The reply came almost immediately.

"Director Manh."

"Our hospital does not discriminate against women or pregnant women."

"You can come here with peace of mind."

"I will arrange all the remaining procedures smoothly."

I looked at the screen. Only answer with one word. On the way back to the department. Countless eyes turned towards me. Have empathy. There is regret. There is also the sadness of those who see themselves in that situation. I heard a pregnant nurse burst into tears.

"To Headmaster Manh..."

"As the dean's wife, just because she was pregnant, she was dismissed."

"I'm just a nurse."

"Will I lose my job after having a baby?"

The person standing next to her. Don't know how to comfort me. I don't stop. Quietly walked back to the office. Start packing your things. Head nurse Ly Ha quickly pushed the door open and entered. She was angry on my behalf.

"Director Manh."

"Are you really going to leave like that?"

"What do they rely on?"

"Why don't you go to the Health Committee to complain?"

I smiled.

"No need."

Right at that moment. Tran Lo walked in. The corners of his lips curled up with satisfaction.

"Complaining is useless."

"Mr. Ngon is the dean."

"Every year it also helps the hospital bring in tens of millions in research money."

"Could it be the Health Committee? forced him to quit his job?"

"If you know."

"Kheo also praised Mr. Ngon for being fair, honest, and knowing how to put the common good first."

I don't bother looking at her. Ly Ha angrily turned around and walked out. Tran Lo pulled out a chair. Calmly sat down in front of me.

"Ms. Manh Kieu."

"Mr. Ngon told me to give you the provincial leader's surgery plan."

"Process."

"Staffing arrangements."

"Family information."

"Including post-operative care plan."

"I'll summarize everything and give it to you."

"Mr. Ngon still told me."

"Absolutely no mistakes should be allowed."

"If it affects the hospital's promotion to 3A."

"I can't bear it."

I still bowed my head and packed my things. Just coldly replied with two words.

"Don't give it."

Tran Lo was stunned.

"What do you rely on that you don't give?"

I raised my head to look at her.

"The hospital has regulations."

"Who is the main surgeon?"

"That person uses his own plan."

"It's just for the convenience of the surgery."

"Just to assign responsibility."

"If you use my plan."

"The surgery went wrong."

"Who is responsible?"

She blurted out a response.

"Of course you..."

I immediately interrupted.

"If it counts for me."

"Then just let me do the main surgery."

"You don't need my plan either."

Tran Lo choked. Bite your lips tightly.

"Manh Kieu."

"Don't think that you can make things difficult for me."

"If you don't give it."

"I will ask Mr. Ngon to come get it himself."

"The words of the principal."

"Do you dare not listen?"

I didn't reply. Right in front of her. I dragged the entire surgical plan straight into the trash. Format the entire computer cleanly. Tran Lo was stunned, his eyes opened wide.

“Manh Kieu, are you crazy? I've formatted all the documents, are you not going to do it anymore?"

I raised my eyes to look at her.

“Don't do it again.”

Tran Lo immediately rushed forward and grabbed my hand, the force was so strong that it seemed to crush my bones.

“Manh Kieu, even if you quit your job, this is still a patient's document in the hospital. What do you base your format on?"

The pain made my eyes dark.

“I format my own documents. Patient records are all in the system and can be looked up at any time. She has no control. Quickly let me go!”

But Tran Lo still refused to let go. Her eyes glanced over my stomach, a cruel glint appeared in the bottom of her eyes. Right after that, she pretended to stagger and her whole body fell hard towards me. I lost my momentum and my waist hit the edge of the desk. Severe pain immediately spread throughout the body. Instinctively, I hugged my lower abdomen, cold sweat pouring out continuously. Tran Lo took two steps back, on his lips was the smile of someone who had just achieved his goal.

“Oh, I'm sorry, Ms. Manh Kieu. I slipped and couldn't stand steady."
