Chapter 82 - 67: Hard Fists

Chapter 82: Chapter 67: Hard FistsHuang Lide was busy packing up his things, placing his everyday office supplies on Zhou Wenbin’s desk.

Cheng Xiaohong saw this and thought to herself, when Zhou Wenbin left, he specifically said to leave that desk for Xu Chunliang, but Xu Chunliang hasn’t had the chance to move in yet. Huang Lide just claimed it. At a loss about whether she should remind him, Xu Chunliang returned.

Xu Chunliang knew that two new members would join the department today, but he hadn’t met them yet. Though they had crossed paths at the hospital before, he wasn’t familiar with them and hadn’t even spoken a word.

As soon as Xu Chunliang entered, he saw Huang Lide moving his things onto Zhou Wenbin’s desk, so he glanced at Cheng Xiaohong. Cheng Xiaohong shook her head, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Just as Xu Chunliang was about to speak, Yang Zhen Gang said, "Xiaoxu, you’re just in time, go change the water."

Xu Chunliang looked at this person strangely. What kind of people did they send from above? One claims territory without a word, while the other acts all high and mighty, ordering him to change the water.

"Put up with it" wasn’t in Xu Chunliang’s dictionary. He looked at the tall and broad Yang Zhen Gang and said, "Who are you?"

Yang Zhen Gang was stunned. Was there really someone at this hospital who didn’t know him?

Xu Chunliang then pointed at Huang Lide. "And you, moving what junk onto my desk? Cheng Xiaohong, are they all relatives of yours?"

Cheng Xiaohong certainly knew that Xu Chunliang’s anger wasn’t aimed at her and quickly said, "No... they’re..."

Huang Lide was a smiling tiger. "Xiaoxu, didn’t you get the notice? From today on, we’re colleagues."

"No, I didn’t."

Huang Lide and Yang Zhen Gang exchanged glances, realizing that this kid was pretending to be clueless; it wasn’t possible he wasn’t notified about the addition of two staff.

Huang Lide said, "No way."

Yang Zhen Gang didn’t take this young man seriously at all. "Probably because you haven’t been at the hospital for long, and the personnel department didn’t think it necessary to notify you. Ask Xiaocheng if you don’t believe me."


Cheng Xiaohong frowned from the bottom of her heart. "Section Chief Ma just brought two teachers over, you weren’t here."

Xu Chunliang said, "I remember now; she did mention it to me. Which one of you is Huang Lide, and which is Yang Zhen Gang?"

Both Huang Lide and Yang Zhen Gang were confused. How does this young man not know to respect his seniors, calling us directly by name? Aren’t we wearing name tags? Are you blind or can’t you read?

Yang Zhen Gang yanked his name tag forward, waving it in front of Xu Chunliang, meaning, can’t you see for yourself?

Xu Chunliang said, "Radiology?" then glanced at Huang Lide’s chest, "Orthopedics?"

He slowly walked over to his desk and sat down, "Since you’re here to work in the medical department, change those name tags quickly, or else people might think you’re just some riffraff."

Huang Lide wore a smiling face. Even if the name tags were wrong, people couldn’t mistake them for riffraff, since they were in uniforms. This kid was saying it on purpose.

He thought he’d met a thorny character. By his side, Yang Zhen Gang was known as a famous tough guy in Changxing. He wondered what kind of sparks would fly when these two encountered each other.

Sure enough, Yang Zhen Gang got angry.

"Xiaoxu, are you giving us orders?"

Xu Chunliang smiled, "Not ’seemingly,’ Dean Zhao temporarily put me in charge of the medical department, so I must take on this responsibility."

Yang Zhen Gang’s eyes widened into circles, "Young man, don’t be so arrogant. Who here isn’t more senior than you? What’s your attitude?"

Huang Lide acted like he was trying to stop Yang Zhen Gang, "Old Yang, don’t get angry; the young man doesn’t know better."

"Who are you saying doesn’t know better? Just got here and drawing circles and claiming territory, really treating this as your own home? If you like claiming territory so much, why don’t you just piss around Changxing and claim the whole Changxing Hospital as yours?"

"You..." Huang Lide was at a loss for words.

"What do you mean, ’you’? And you, with your height and build, can’t even change a water barrel? Do you know what it means to be shameful?" Xu Chunliang scolded Yang Zhen Gang.

Yang Zhen Gang blew up, pointing at Xu Chunliang and cursing, "What the hell are you saying? Don’t hold me back, I’m gonna teach this kid a lesson."

Huang Lide pretended to be concerned, "Old Yang, don’t get mad, there’s no need to stoop to the level of a young person."

"Let go of me, let go!"

Huang Lide held onto Yang Zhen Gang, not exerting much force at all, feeling that Yang Zhen Gang wasn’t too impetuous. Otherwise, with his physique, he wouldn’t be able to hold him down.

Yang Zhen Gang wasn’t stupid either. Fighting on his first day after transferring would make people think poorly of him. Plus, his reputation at the hospital wasn’t great. He knew Huang Lide’s intentions – wanting him to take the heat while he reaps the benefits was not going to be that easy.

Xu Chunliang pointed at him, "Teach me a lesson, why don’t you come at me?"

Yang Zhen Gang was a hotheaded character, known for being undefeated in the radiology department. "Why should I be afraid of you?" He pushed Huang Lide aside and followed.

Huang Lide deliberately slowed his pace, hoping Xu Chunliang and Yang Zhen Gang would fight. If they did, leadership would definitely give both a hard time; even a fool knows that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains.

Yang Zhen Gang locked the door behind Xu Chunliang as he entered the mediation room. Both Cheng Xiaohong and Huang Lide, who arrived afterward, couldn’t open the door.

This was Yang Zhen Gang’s specialty. In the past, he cornered the radiology director, Liu Guangfu, in his office and slapped him twice. With no witnesses, Yang Zhen Gang simply denied it. Today, he planned to use the same trick to teach this kid a lesson.

With a sadistic grin, Yang Zhen Gang approached Xu Chunliang. "Kid, you probably don’t know what kind of person I am. If someone respects me one foot, I return one yard. But if someone bullies me, I pay them back double."

"What a coincidence, you don’t know what kind of person I am either. If someone respects me one foot, I return one foot, but if someone bullies me, I make them repay ten times over." Xu Chunliang stood firm.

Yang Zhen Gang was notoriously tough in Changxing. "Barely grown any hair, and you’re trying to act tough with me?" He tried to grab Xu Chunliang’s neck with his left hand. With his height and reach, he had an absolute advantage, raising his large right hand, intending to slap this kid hard – a tried and tested technique of his.

Xu Chunliang raised his hand, striking quickly like lightning, smack! A large slap landed on Yang Zhen Gang’s face.

Yang Zhen Gang was stunned by the slap and staggered slightly. He hadn’t anticipated the other’s quick and vicious move, striking directly at his face. How could he show his face after such a slap?

Xu Chunliang said, "Your face is yours to own, but dignity is earned by yourself. I detest people like you who don’t respect what respect is given."

Grinding his teeth, Yang Zhen Gang charged forward, swinging a punch aimed at Xu Chunliang’s face, "I’ll..."

Though Xu Chunliang had lost his inner strength, his footwork and vision still put him far ahead of ordinary folks. With a light sidestep, he dodged Yang Zhen Gang’s punch, spinning around to land another heavy slap on Yang Zhen Gang’s big face.

Smack!

The sound of the slap could be heard even outside the door.

At the doorway, Huang Lide and Cheng Xiaohong heard the noise and their expressions changed. Huang Lide said, "They’re fighting, quickly inform security." He was eager for chaos, thinking the bigger the hullabaloo, the better.

Cheng Xiaohong, not wanting things to escalate, persuaded him to keep quiet, quickly knocking on the door, "Director Xu, open the door, you need to open the door now."

Since joining Changxing, Yang Zhen Gang had always been the one bullying others, never experiencing such bullying himself. Luckily, he was behind closed doors getting slapped today; if it were in public, he’d want to crawl into a hole out of shame. Reputation gone, face lost.

Xu Chunliang pointed at him, "That’s a lesson for you."

With a roar, Yang Zhen Gang charged again, while Xu Chunliang moved quickly forward. Just as they were about to clash, Xu Chunliang dipped low and punched Yang Zhen Gang in the abdomen hard enough that he nearly spat out his gall. Clutching his stomach, Yang Zhen Gang squatted on the ground, unable to stand for a long time. He finally realized he was no match for Xu Chunliang.

"I’m going to report you..."

Xu Chunliang smiled, "Who can testify?"

Yang Zhen Gang looked up at the surveillance camera in the corner.

"I turned off the camera. If you’re not afraid of more embarrassment, go ahead and report it."

Using violence against those who love violence is the best way to deal with them.

Having said that, Xu Chunliang turned to leave, opening the door. Huang Lide, who had been eavesdropping at the door, almost fell in.

Xu Chunliang looked at Huang Lide with disdain, "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Wishful thinking, hurry up and move your junk or I’ll toss you in the trash with it."
