Chapter 917: Chapter 916: Mind the Image

Wen Chi nodded at the words, then indifferently pulled away Wang Lei’s salty pig hand from his shoulder.

“Let’s talk about it when there’s time.” After that, he turned around and left.

Wen Chi, dressed in a white coat, had an air of elegance and detachment as he walked, his posture exuding grace. Every time Wang Lei gazed upon that tall and resolute figure, he couldn’t help feeling that such a cold and god-like person didn’t seem suited to be a doctor.

His charisma was captivating, and even if he weren’t a company executive, had he been in the entertainment industry, he would have easily secured the top spot.

He still remembered, the first time he saw Wen Chi, back when he was still a greenhorn doctor.

Even then, his presence elevated the whole department with his astonishingly high attractiveness.

And he was extremely popular, enchanting patients and medical staff alike; there was constant behind-the-scenes chatter about whether he had a girlfriend or not.

At that time, Wang Lei thought, here’s a guy with just a pretty face, probably a good-for-nothing — all looks and no substance. What good is a doctor’s appearance when their job is to save lives and aid the injured?

He had wanted to say, do you even know what a doctor’s mission is?

But in the end, he held back.

However, it turned out he was wrong; he had judged a book by its cover.

Within their department, it was Wen Chi who performed the best and had the highest expertise; he was extremely gifted and remained unflappable in emergencies, always calm, capable of treating even the most critical patients.

Because of his excellence, he had already reached a director-level position at a young age.

And he seemed destined to outdo his mentors.

One must not underestimate this young man, and now with connections to the hospital director, his future was boundless indeed.

However, Wang Lei also knew that Wen Chi’s interest lay solely in being a doctor. He was indifferent towards promotions and professional titles.

But to Wang Lei, Wen Chi was a star he had always favored, and he hoped that his path would take him even further.

Wen Chi returned to his seat, having just made rounds and with surgery scheduled for a bit later.

His colleagues asked if he was nervous, especially after what had just happened, but Wen Chi just smiled; there was nothing to be nervous about. If he couldn’t face such a small setback, what kind of doctor would he be?

Before that, Wen Chi had received a phone call.

It was from his mother.

“Chi, come home right after work today, I have something I need to talk to you about, don’t tell Huanhuan.”

Mrs. Wen’s tone carried a certain heaviness, and Wen Chi felt a pang in his heart, guessing that it was nothing good. He asked quickly, “What’s the matter?”

“We’ll talk when you get back, it’s not convenient over the phone.”

Wen Chi’s slender fingers gently massaged his forehead. In the beginning, Mrs. Wen liked Huanhuan very much, thinking she was sensible and virtuous.

But ever since Warn sunlight was born, especially after the scandal between Huanhuan and the famous actor, Mrs. Wen had some criticisms towards Huanhuan and wished she would leave the entertainment industry to return to family life.

She had first spoken to Wen Chi about it, hoping he would mediate the situation. Little did she know that Wen Chi was utterly devoted to his wife, always prioritizing Huanhuan’s happiness above all else.

So the matter was left unresolved, and Wen Chi even reminded Mrs. Wen not to bring it up with Huanhuan, who was quite filial and would find it distressing.

At that time, Mrs. Wen was fuming, and for a while, she stopped visiting her granddaughter at Wen Chi’s home.

Mrs. Wen’s intention was clear: she wanted Huanhuan to return, take good care of Warn sunlight, and then have another child, continuing the Wen family lineage.

Regrettably, her own son was of no use in this regard, always defending his wife.

For a while, she didn’t reach out to them, and Wen Chi seldom went back, being busy with work and needing to take care of the child when he was home.
