21st Century Necromancer

Having her treatment proposal outright rejected by Chen Yu undoubtedly caused Ayajichi Shoubu a great deal of dissatisfaction, but as the attending physician and an associate professor, Chen Yu held a position that Ayajichi Shoubu simply did not have the clout to challenge; she had no choice but to take the patient's medical records and leave Chen Yu's office, filled with frustration and indignation.

"Shirai-san, help me check this Doctor Ayajichi's information." Watching Ayajichi Shoubu storm out and slam the door, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel perplexed, so he asked his assistant to look up information about her.

Ayajichi Shoubu's attitude had been very odd from the start, carrying a sense of disdain, and after Chen Yu had turned down her treatment proposal, she seemed even more dissatisfied and angry, almost as if in Ayajichi Shoubu's eyes, Chen Yu was an incompetent doctor.

If Chen Yu were just an ordinary doctor, he might have understood her attitude. However, Ayajichi Shoubu was only a neurosurgery lecturer, whereas he was an associate professor and the main attending physician for the patient; she was merely dispatched by the hospital dean to assist. Why then would she exhibit such a strange attitude was something that made Chen Yu extremely curious.

Shirai Rena was naturally efficient in her work. It had not been half an hour since Chen Yu gave the instruction, and information about Ayajichi Shoubu was already placed on his office desk.

"Professor, Doctor Ayajichi graduated from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, and just returned to Japan from the United States in January this year.

She was employed by our hospital to serve as a neurosurgery lecturer," informed Shirai Rena as she relayed Ayajichi Shoubu's information to Chen Yu while also sharing the gossip she had gathered: "Additionally, Professor, from what I've heard through the grapevine at neurosurgery..."

As a secretary with aspirations, Shirai Rena naturally did more than just research Ayajichi Shoubu's information; she also used her connections with other secretaries to gather some insider information from several professors' secretaries in neurosurgery.

"Just say what you know," Chen Yu glanced at Shirai Rena, signaling her to speak openly.

Shirai Rena hesitated for a moment but still conveyed the news she had heard to Chen Yu: "It seems that Doctor Ayajichi believes you, Professor, have made a serious mistake in treating this patient and that the hospital dispatched her to save your reputation as a potential Nobel Prize laureate. Ostensibly to assist, but in reality, to clean up the mess you made."

The news relayed by Shirai Rena took Chen Yu by surprise; he then let out a wry laugh in response, "I made a treatment mistake, and she's here to clean up my mess? How could such a misunderstanding arise? This is Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, after all. Even if things were dire, they shouldn't resort to something like that, should they?"

Faced with Chen Yu's query, Shirai Rena didn't know how to respond, as she also thought the rumor was quite far-fetched. Nevertheless, she explained to Chen Yu based on the rumors she had heard: "This might be related to a surgical mistake made by Doctor Ayajichi previously.

I heard that Doctor Ayajichi was assisting Professor Arima from neurosurgery in a procedure, but during the operation, Doctor Ayajichi made a mistake that was corrected by Professor Arima."

Upon hearing Shirai Rena's explanation, Chen Yu began to understand the situation and smiled slightly, "Perhaps the rumors say that the mistake was actually made by Professor Arima, and Doctor Ayajichi just took the blame for him?"

"Yes, Professor," nodded Shirai Rena. Although it was somewhat disrespectful towards Professor Arima from neurosurgery, she still conveyed to Chen Yu everything she had learned: "It was said that during the nerve suturing, Professor Arima's hand trembled, which caused a nerve that was supposed to be sutured to break. It was Doctor Ayajichi who completed the suturing anew.

However, after the surgery ended, Professor Arima took all the credit and shifted the blame onto Doctor Ayajichi. Because of this, Doctor Ayajichi has been quite resentful recently. By being assigned to assist you, Professor, there also appears to be an intention from neurosurgery to get rid of her, with rumors that she's being transferred to the Shiretoko Branch Hospital..."

Rena Shirai stopped speaking at this point, as she too felt that the rumor was somewhat unreliable. After all, it was the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, and medical accidents were not uncommon, but if Professor Arima had really done something like setting someone else up and then banishing them to the Shiretoko Branch Hospital, it would be a major scandal.

Moreover, Rena Shirai also believed that given Ayajichi Shoubu's character, if such a thing had indeed happened, she would not have suffered in silence. It was known that the current Director, Shimura Maru, was not someone who would tarnish the reputation of Eastern University Affiliated Hospital for the sake of any single professor's face.

"I understand the situation now, thank you for your effort, Shirai-san," said Chen Yu as he nodded his head, expressing his gratitude to Rena Shirai while also cautioning her, "However, certain rumors should only be known and not propagated. What others spread is their business, don't join in the spreading of rumors."

"Please rest assured, Professor, I know what's important," Rena Shirai hurriedly nodded, indicating that she would not speak carelessly.

——————————————————————

While Chen Yu had asked Rena Shirai to investigate Ayajichi Shoubu, Shoubu herself had also come to the surgical office and found Jounouchi Hiromi, who was organizing documents.

Although Ayajichi Shoubu was with the department of neurosurgery and Jounouchi Hiromi and Chen Yu were with general surgery, despite the different names, both departments were under the command of Professor Kube, the head of surgery. After all, besides being the head of general surgery, Kube was also the overall head of all surgical departments.

The same was true for internal medicine; Yamamoto Hisae was not only the head of the department of comprehensive internal medicine but also the overall head of internal medicine.

This was the reason why, before Shimura Maru became the director, Professor Kube and Yamamoto Hisae were able to control the entire hospital.

After all, the main departments in a hospital are surgery and internal medicine, with most other departments largely set up around them. Having control over surgery and internal medicine essentially meant having control over the hospital. Stay connected with empire

Of course, a large university hospital like Eastern University Affiliated Hospital was not limited to just the treatment departments, nor were the treatment sections limited to just the two major categories of surgery and internal medicine, but it was undeniable that these two held the greatest importance.

However, none of these matters had much relevance to Ayajichi Shoubu. Carrying a bellyful of grievances because her treatment plan had been rejected by Chen Yu, she found the only female doctor in the surgical office—Jounouchi Hiromi, "Are you Doctor Jounouchi? Professor Chen sent me to get a treatment plan from you."

"Treatment plan? Are you the doctor from neurosurgery sent to assist in the treatment? Hello, because the treatment plan was handwritten by Mr. Chen Yu, I am currently organizing it. Please wait a moment, is it alright if I give it to you after I've finished organizing?" Jounouchi Hiromi said this to Ayajichi Shoubu.

However, Ayajichi Shoubu, seemingly unaware of what politeness meant, directly picked up the treatment plan handwritten by Chen Yu from Jounouchi Hiromi's desk.
