Chapter 296: Treat Me with New Eyes After a Three-Day Absence
It's over! Completely over!
Seeing Chen Ping not joking, Qin Dachuan became distraught and plopped himself down on the ground.
Staring at the dispirited Qin Dachuan, Ye Fan mocked, "President Qin, didn't you just say that not even The King of Heaven could punish you? How come you look so stunned now?"
"You..." Ridiculed by Ye Fan, Qin Dachuan pointed at Ye Fan, his lips trembling incessantly.
If he had known earlier that Ye Fan was Holy Hand Ye, he would never have promoted Wang Han. Instead, he would have obediently offered the vacant deputy director position to Gao Yaqin.
Alas, it was too late for regrets; nothing could be done anymore.
After dealing with the two, Chen Ping looked at Gao Yaqin with an apologetic face, "Director Gao, I am truly sorry. I have been preoccupied with my specialized research for years and did not pay much attention to the hospital affairs, causing you to suffer grievances. Here, I sincerely apologize to you for my negligence!"
"This shouldn't be!" exclaimed Gao Yaqin, overwhelmed by the gesture.
Feeling ashamed, Chen Ping continued, "It is indeed my fault. Director Gao, the position of deputy director is rightfully yours. It is getting late, go back and rest. If nothing goes wrong, you should receive the appointment notice tomorrow!"
"Thank you, President Chen!" Gao Yaqin was overjoyed.
Seeing Gao Yaqin's happy expression, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, taking advantage of everyone's lack of attention, the pale-faced Qin Yao sought an opportunity to sneak away.
"Did I say you could leave?"
The moment Qin Yao's half-step crossed the threshold of the deputy director's office, Ye Fan's jeering voice came from behind her.
Frozen in her tracks, Qin Yao turned her head with difficulty and said, "Ye Fan, I was wrong, please let me go!"
Once Ye Fan's identity was revealed, Qin Yao realized that Ye Fan was not someone she could afford to offend. Thinking about how foolish she had been to try to please Huang Zicheng by slandering Su Ruoxue, Qin Yao wished she could slap herself.
"Let you go? Just now you were insisting on having me killed!" replied Ye Fan, his smile harmless.
With a mournful look, Qin Yao said, "I was just blinded by foolishness earlier. Now I've come to my senses, Ye Fan, please spare my life!"
"Spare your life? Okay," nodded Ye Fan.
"Really?"
Hearing that Ye Fan would spare her, Qin Yao was ecstatic.
Bang!!!
Right when Qin Yao was thrilled, Ye Fan swung a rubber mallet fiercely down onto Qin Yao's head.
Struck by the mallet, Qin Yao's eyes widened, her mind went blank, and she collapsed to the ground.
After knocking out Qin Yao, Ye Fan snorted, "Sparing your life is one thing, letting you off is another!"
The force behind his strike was enough to give Qin Yao a concussion. Even if she recovered later on, this deterrent would surely prevent her from causing any more trouble.
"Mom, it's getting dark. Let's go home early," Ye Fan said, looking at Gao Yaqin after knocking out Qin Yao.
Gao Yaqin, satisfied, said, "Yes, let's head back."
"President Chen, we're leaving," Ye Fan called out.
"Farewell, Mr. Ye!" Chen Ping said respectfully.
Ye Fan was reassured to leave Qin Dachuan and Wang Han in Chen Ping's hands.
Ye Fan believed that Chen Ping wouldn't let these two off easily and that they might well end up facing prison time.
Exiting the hospital, Ye Fan and Gao Yaqin took a taxi and soon arrived at the Century Sky City Villa Complex.
At this moment, Ye Ling'er had already been lulled to sleep by Su Ruoxue, leaving only the figures of Su Jianguo and Su Ruoxue in the living room.
"Dad, Ye Fan and mom are back!"
Hearing the noise outside, Su Ruoxue immediately got up.
"Ruoxue!"
After opening the door, Ye Fan and Gao Yaqin entered.
Su Jianguo rose from the sofa, a look of displeasure on his face as he said, "Well? Couldn't do it, right? I made myself very clear, going to Qin Dachuan is useless—you only get promoted by giving gifts, Ya Qin!"
"Who says you have to give gifts? Hmmph! Su Jianguo, if nothing unexpected happens, I'll be the hospital's vice president by tomorrow morning!" Gao Ya Qin retorted, proudly.
Su Jianguo was taken aback, "What? You're going to be vice president tomorrow morning? That's impossible, isn't it?"
"Would I lie to you?" Gao Ya Qin rolled her eyes.
Realizing Gao Yaqin wasn't joking, Su Jianguo was astonished. He simply couldn't understand how Gao Ya Qin managed to change Qin Dachuan's mind.
Ye Fan looked at Su Ruoxue and smiled, "Ruoxue, mission accomplished!"
"Ye Fan, I knew that once you took action, Mom's vice presidential position would definitely be within easy reach!" Su Ruoxue exclaimed excitedly.
Su Jianguo puzzled, "Ya Qin, was it Ye Fan who secured the vice presidential position for you?"
"If it wasn't Ye Fan who secured it, do you think you did?" Gao Ya Qin responded irritably.
As Su Jianguo realized it was indeed Ye Fan who had helped Gao Ya Qin secure the vice presidential position, his face changed, "This can't be!"
"Impossible? Hmph! It's just your bias against Ye Fan. Do you have any idea what we just went through?" Gao Ya Qin challenged.
Su Jianguo's face was a picture of bewilderment, "Went through what?"
"Just now, we went to Qin Dachuan's office…"
Confronted with a skeptical Su Jianguo, Gao Ya Qin narrated everything that had happened, especially when Ye Fan had faced a group alone and revealed his identity as 'Holy Hand Ye', she was exceptionally excited.
"What? Ye Fan actually took down a bunch of people by himself? Not only that, but he's also a skilled doctor, known as 'Holy Hand Ye'?" Su Jianguo was visibly agitated.
Gao Ya Qin smugly said, "That's right! Su Jianguo, in your wildest dreams did you imagine Ye Fan could achieve this? Let me tell you, you better adjust your prejudice! Without a good son-in-law like him, your wife would still be under duress!"
"This... this..."
Now that he knew of Ye Fan's capabilities, Su Jianguo was utterly discomposed.
All this time, Su Jianguo had been disappointed in Ye Fan, thinking his daughter had married the wrong man.
Who would have thought, six years later, Ye Fan would bring him such an enormous surprise.
"Dad, what Mom said is true—'A golden scale can hardly be a thing in the pool, but once a dragon meets the wind and clouds, it will soar'. Ye Fan's life is destined to be extraordinary!" Su Ruoxue chimed in from the side.
Now that she knew the full extent of Ye Fan's capabilities, Su Ruoxue wasn't too surprised by any moves or identities he might have.
Furthermore, for years Su Jianguo had been prejudiced against Ye Fan, now that Ye Fan had shown his mettle, Su Ruoxue was quietly thrilled for him.
"Could it really be my misjudgment?"
Su Jianguo's eyes widened and he slumped onto the sofa, unable to adjust back to reality for a long time.
He could never have dreamed that Ye Fan, whom he had considered a failure, would one day make something of himself.
Ye Fan chuckled lightly, "Dad, I hope the person I am now won't continue to disappoint you! About that, it's getting late—don't go back tonight, stay here instead!"
Su Jianguo took a deep breath. He didn't respond, merely looking at Ye Fan, at a loss for words.
"Ye Fan, dad can't come around just yet. Let's go back to our room to rest!" Su Ruoxue suggested with a smile.
Ye Fan nodded, "Mom and Dad, Ruoxue and I are going back to our room. You should go to bed early too!"
"Go ahead and rest!" Gao Yaqin responded with a smile.
After Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue left the room, Gao Ya Qin slapped Su Jianguo on the shoulder with annoyance, "Still dazed? Isn't it a good thing that Ye Fan has become capable?"
"Yes, it's a good thing!" Su Jianguo's face still showed shock, struggling to snap back to reality.
Once back in their room, Su Ruoxue chuckled, "Ye Fan, Dad's definitely going to see you in a new light from now on. Happy?"
"I can't say I'm happy; maybe I'm used to Dad's attitude towards me," Ye Fan responded with a smile.
They say, "A scholar not seen in three days must be viewed with new eyes."
Now as I, Ye Fan, make my triumphant return, I will undoubtedly ride the winds and break the waves, making all those who once looked down on me regret their actions deeply.
