Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

"Not appropriate?" Mrs. Guo and Guo Rui wondered who he was.

"He's a patient's family member, she's a doctor. Inviting her to dinner is illegal, it's bribery." Chang Jiawei firmly told the two family members of the patient.

Doctors' regulations prohibit developing personal relationships with patients or their families. If a doctor dates a patient or their family, it suggests using their advantage to gain resources, and it certainly impacts the doctor's reputation.

"Really, is it that serious?" Mrs. Guo asked in surprise, not knowing Guoxie's regulations for doctors were so strict, making people take notice.

"Yes!" Several people on the scene exclaimed in unison.

Xie Wanying reminded Mrs. Guo that the patient's real attending physician was here: "The person who saved Mr. Guo wasn't me; I'm just an intern. The ones who truly saved the patient's life are the teachers from Hepatobiliary Surgery."

Suddenly remembering Tao Zhijie, Mrs. Guo felt embarrassed and apologized repeatedly: "Dr. Tao, join us for the meal. My son is the host."

"As I said, we doctors don't accept bribes." Tao Zhijie replied gently, yet his tone was equally firm.

Mrs. Guo and Guo Rui felt thoroughly awkward. Mrs. Guo had a lightbulb moment and said to her son, "Isn't there a box of chocolates in your car? Bring it to give to Dr. Xie."

Following his mother's command, Guo Rui lifted his leg to go fetch the gift.

After refusing one wave, another came; where had Cao Yong gone? Feeling exhausted, Zhu Huicang and Ren Chongda remembered to call Cao Yong.

"Why are you asking him to give her chocolates? I said we don't accept bribes." Chang Jiawei felt like glaring at the mother-son duo, thinking, when will this end?

"They're about the same age; they can make friends. Dr. Xie." Mrs. Guo explained smilingly to all the doctors, almost revealing too much, "I've mentioned this to Dr. Xie before."

Did she tell you this? Ren Chongda and the others turned to ask Xie Wanying.

Xie Wanying honestly couldn't recall if Mrs. Guo had said anything to her before, but she definitely couldn't take anything from the patient's family, so she said, "I don't accept gifts."

"Don't worry; it's not from the patient's family to the doctor. It's from a friend to a friend, Dr. Xie." Mrs. Guo continued to speak on behalf of her son.

"Even if it's from a friend, it's not okay." Xie Wanying said, "The only chocolates I'd accept are from my boyfriend."

Once she finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

Ren Chongda and his group almost wanted to applaud.

Mrs. Guo's face showed a hint of helplessness, and she and her son Guo Rui both looked at Xie Wanying thinking: This girl is really great. Usually, the girls will be fickle when pursued by wealthy young men, but at least she refuses firmly.

"What do you think would happen if Cao Yong gave her chocolates?" Zhu Huicang whispered in Ren Chongda's ear.

Ren Chongda thought about it, indeed, if Cao Yong gave and got refused, wouldn't that be troublesome.

There's no need to worry about this. Tao Zhijie and Huang Zhilei, who followed behind, knew that when they were at Hepatobiliary Surgery, Cao Yong had already given her chocolates, and someone accepted them. Huang Zhilei heard his junior sister's words and was internally relieved: last time he helped Senior Cao deliver chocolates, thankfully he hadn't messed it up.

The junior sister clearly likes Senior Cao.

Xie Wanying seemingly had no idea what her words meant. She worried about how long Senior Cao had been buying breakfast and if something had happened to him on the way.
