Granting You A Second Life

Shopping center- Suite 12

Li Xiuying checked her watch; it had been 5 hours since she entered Suite 12. She had finally finished selecting the makeup and wigs she needed. Li Xiuying was ready to head home and turn in for the night.

The reason Li Xiuying had taken so long is that she had asked the makeup artists to give her a tutorial. She was now prepared for step two of her revenge plan against The Soulless.

Pan Lanfen: "Miss. Li do you require any further assistance today?"

Li Xiuying: "No. "

Pan Lanfen: "Miss. Li everything has been charged to your card. I've arranged several people to help carry your bags to your car." She then handed Li Xiuying back her credit card.

Li Xiuying put the card in her coat pocket and nodded.

Pan Lanfen opened the door to the suite. Several staff members walked in.

Staff members: "Good evening Miss. Li. Manager Pan." They then walked to the bags and picked them up.

Li Xiuying: "Thank you all."

Pan Lanfen: "It was our p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e."

Li Xiuying left the room with the staff members.

After Li Xiuying exited, Pan Lanfen closed the door. The two assistants and two makeup artists collapsed on the sofa. They started talking among themselves.

"I feel absolutely exhausted! I felt like I was under pressure to perform when Miss. Li looked directly at me. It was worse than sitting exams."

"I felt exactly the same! It was like she was looking into my soul!!!"

"Forget that. I didn't expect Miss. Li to have such amazing makeup skills. When she made herself look like a little old lady I was absolutely gob-smacked."

"That was nothing compared to when she made herself look like a man! I became a total fan girl!"

Pan Lanfen sighed in exhaustion and said: "It was a lucky coincidence that the two of you had gone to courses on various styles of makeup."

They all got off the sofas and began cleaning up the room.

.....

The next day Unity at Unity Hospital - Wednesday 8:50 am

Li Xiuying was sitting on the sofa opposite Qin Song, Elder Qin and Qin Jingfei.

Elder Qin: "Xiuying, how are you adjusting to working at Unity hospital?"

Li Xiuying: "Fine."

Elder Qin: "If you have anything you're not happy with don't be shy in letting us know. We'll be happy to accommodate you."

Qin Jingfei: "Dr. Li we've called this meeting today to discuss a change in your rota this week. CEO Huang visited the hospital yesterday to discuss his grandson's Huang Fuhua's transplant. It was decided that the kidney transplant would be taking place at Unity hospital this Friday."

The Qin's widened their eyes as they witnessed Li Xiuying's expressionless face slowly morph into an expression filled with scorn then back to her usual unemotional state.

Li Xiuying was annoyed that her plans for revenge had been altered. How would she destroy Yang Zian now? Even if she had him take part in the surgery at Unity hospital Yang Zian wouldn't let his guard down.

Li Xiuying stared into Qin Jingfei's eyes : "Who decided?"

Qin Jingfei felt powerless under Li Xiuying's deep penetrating gaze she ratted out her family without a second thought. Qin Jingfei pointed to Elder Qin and Qin song: "It was them. They decided! I was only told after they had the discussion with CEO Huang." Qin Jingfei couldn't let her idol hate her.

Elder Qin rolled his eyes at Qin Jingfei's behaviour.

This stupid niece of his would probably even sell off her soul if Xiuying wanted it.

Elder Qin: "Xiuying, Huang Teng unexpectedly turned up at Qin enterprises yesterday. He informed us that your uncle had agreed to you performing the transplant several months ago. We informed him that you now have a contract with Unity hospital."

Li Xiuying turned gaze predatory as she eyes Elder Qin: "Clause 10.1"

Elder Qin: "..." What did I say wrong? Why am I on the receiving end of Xiuying's death stare?!

He thought back to Li Xiuying's contract but couldn't remember every detail.

Li Xiuying opened her briefcase and took out a doc.u.ment flipped to page 3 and laid it in front of Elder Qin. She pointed to 10.1.

Elder Qin read out loud: "Dr. Li has the right to work at other medical facilities outside of her contracted hours at Unity hospital. Unity hospital has no legal right to interfere with her work outside of her contracted hours this includes but is not limited to choice of location, choice of employer and/or patient."

Elder Qin: "Well you see... Qin Song you explain."

Li Xiuying looked at Qin Song. It was definitely this stupid man that had ruined her plans.

Qin Song glanced at the betrayers beside him.

Qin Song: "CEO Huang was adamant in wanting you to be the lead surgeon. It will be beneficial to our hospital both financially and in terms of experience for our surgeons here."

Qin Song could feel Li Xiuying becoming increasingly annoyed. He frowned slightly. Qin Song didn't know what he said wrong.

Li Xiuying calmed herself down. She could still get revenge on Yang Zian at a later date. Chen Meng would be desperate to hire her and if she requested Yang Zian's assistance as a condition he would have no choice but to comply.

Li Xiuying planned to beat Yang Zian at his own game. During the surgery she planned to constantly aggravate Yang Zian and belittle his surgical skills causing him to be blinded by anger and frustration. She wanted Yang Zian to lose all reason and get impatient to sabotage the surgery. When Yang Zian was desperate enough to sabotage the surgery she would catch him in the act in front of all to see. Then it would be a simple case of reporting him to the medical council.

Li Xiuying finished strategizing: "Fine."

Qin Song saw that Li Xiuying had come around to the idea. He tried his best to sell it to her: "It was also beneficial to you that the surgery takes place at Unity hospital with our staff supporting you. Emerald hospital had hired Yang Zian as the lead surgeon. He is known to sabotage the surgeries of others and then step in to rectify the situation claiming the surgery as his. "

Li Xiuying showed no reaction.

Qin Song pressed on: "After finding out about Yang Zian's misdeeds I immediately reported him to the Medical Council. I sent them all of the evidence against Yang Zian such as witness statements, surgical reports and a statement from the surgeons who were his victims. He has been suspended from practicing as the investigation takes place."

Qin Song had chosen to go into detail about Yang Zian so Li Xiuying would be more grateful to him as her trusted and competent employer.

Qin Song had a smug expression on his face as he waited for Li Xiuying's words of gratitude.

Li Xiuying was fuming. Her plans for revenge would never come into fruition. So what if Yang Zian was struck off?! She felt no satisfaction whatsoever in having someone else take down her enemies.

Li Xiuying felt that Yang Zian had gotten off too lightly! Even if he was struck off here he could still practice illegally. He could even go abroad to practice with forged doc.u.ments. With his powerful backing he would never see the inside of a jail cell. That's why Li Xiuying wanted to destroy his deep rooted confidence so his hands would tremble at the mere mention of an operation.

Li Xiuying put her contract in her briefcase and stood up to leave.

Qin Song was perplexed: "Dr. Li shouldn't you be happy? You've been saved from being one of Yang Zian's victims. You also won't have to go back to Emerald hospital."

Li Xiuying stopped her steps. She slowly turned around and faced Qin Song.

Elder Qin and Qin Jingfei shuffled away from Qin Song. Right now Li Xiuying's eyes had a crazed look like something out of the exorcist.

Qin Song swallowed his saliva.

Li Xiuying voice was low and steely: "Listen here allergy man. You have ruined everything with your meddling behaviour. A surgery that concerns ME should be discussed with ME. It is not up to you to decide."

Qin Song spoke with indignation: "As your employer I.."

Li Xiuying: "As my employer you have a duty to follow the contract to the letter. This is your first strike. Now if you don't have any further interfering or meddling to do I am late for my CONTRACTED work hours due to this meeting."

Li Xiuying turned to look at elder Qin and Qin Jingfei.

Li Xiuying: "Mistakes such as this should not be repeated."

Elder Qin: "Yes!" Qin Jingfei frantically nodded her head.

Li Xiuying left the room.

Qin Jingfei looked over at her cousin and asked with a voice full of disbelief: "Allergy man?!"
