Just as Ivy was contemplating how to strip Dr. Ticko of his power and kick him out of the County Clinic, an opportunity presented itself. Director Malcom gathered all the medical staff on the following day, handed out a list, and explained that the City Health Commission would visit the County Clinic in two days with a group of ten outstanding young doctors from the city. "Why has the County Clinic become the only county-level clinic selected for inspection?" Director Malcom's fingers danced on the table, and he proudly explained, "First, the County Clinic is located in the busiest but poorest district of City A, and its medical level to a certain extent represents the district's medical level. Second, the collaboration between the County Clinic and DT Investment has caused a sensation. The city leaders want to visit us and hope to use our clinic's work model as a model for the entire city." Director Malcom thought of the ID photos they had taken overnight, and he was so excited that he almost flew off the ground. "Dr. Ticko, Tanya is your daughter and the daughter-in-law of the Alter Group. She was assigned by the city leaders to accompany them during this visit. So, this reception should be your full responsibility. Let the leaders see the significant progress our County Clinic has made in all aspects, and we might even secure government funding!" Director Malcom passionately emphasized this point, and Dr. Ticko was equally elated. "I promise to fulfill the mission," he flattered Director Malcom. "We shouldn't delay this matter; I'll take care of the task. I'll handle the reception, and Dr. Jenny will assist me. All the nurses will be under my coordination." Alyssa eagerly raised her hand, "Dr. Ticko, what should Dr. Jones and I do?" Dr. Ticko adjusted his glasses and avoided Ivy's gaze as he coughed lightly. "Dr. Jones is highly skilled, and she will help manage all the patients in the clinic while we're busy with the reception. Alyssa, you should assist Dr. Jones!" Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Alyssa's eyes. Dr. Ticko was blatantly envious. He didn't want the city leaders to discover Dr. Jones's talents, a clear manifestation of jealousy. However, she quickly regained her hope. It was a good opportunity for both of them. Since Dr. Jones and herself were not fond of socializing, they could focus on handling their patients and improving their professional skills. Besides, Dr. Jones would rather not participate, but to annoy Dr. Ticko, she pretended to negotiate with Director Malcom."Director, I also hope to have the opportunity to learn from the city leaders..." "Dr. Jones, helping to take care of patients is a form of learning," Dr. Ticko quickly interrupted her and added, "During the visit, I will take the city leaders to the inpatient department, and the reporters might capture your professional abilities. Isn't that even better?" "But..." Ivy was about to say more when she saw Director Malcom agreeing. She decided to concede. "Thank you, Dr. Ticko, for always looking out for us younger colleagues," she said gratefully to Dr. Ticko. Then, she turned to Alyssa, "Go review the conditions of the patients in the clinic, and report back to me tonight." "Alright, Dr. Jones, I'll do that." Before leaving the meeting room, Ivy turned to Dr. Ticko and asked, "Dr. Ticko, are you still unwilling to grant me access to the medical equipment?" Dr. Ticko cleared his throat when he heard this and said earnestly, "Dr. Jones, you don't know how to use this medical equipment, and besides, the city leaders are coming for an inspection. You don't need to worry about it." Ivy raised an eyebrow, her eyes gleaming, "Alright." The opportunity had been presented to Dr. Ticko. If he didn't appreciate it himself, she wouldn't hesitate to seize it. Ivy didn't actually want to completely destroy Dr. Ticko. But she knew that as long as Dr. Ticko continued to have control over the County Clinic, she wouldn't have the opportunity to treat Shawn's legs effectively. She brought Alyssa into the various inpatient wards, while the others were bustling around the reception area. Finally, on the day of the city leaders' inspection, Ivy arrived at the County Clinic early. She noticed that there was only a receptionist at the front desk and inquired, "Where are they?" "Dr. Ticko's daughter, Dr. Tanya, has arrived, and they are all in the meeting room," the receptionist explained. Ivy then noticed the assortment of champagne, wine, and sweets on a table nearby and furrowed her brow. "I recall that the clinic has clear rules prohibiting alcohol in the office. What's happening here?" Maya knew that Ivy was a stickler for rules and hurriedly explained, "Dr. Ticko said that since they're going to convince the city leaders to allocate funds to the County Clinic after the reception, they're celebrating in advance.""Dr. Jones, didn't you see this yesterday when you left work?" Zaya grumbled, finding Ivy's concern unreasonable. Why mention it today when she had seen it yesterday? It was like bringing bad luck to Dr. Ticko. The young nurse just thought Ivy was being envious, so she didn't comment further. At this moment, a group of people, including Dr. Ticko and Tanya, walked in. When Ivy's gaze met Tanya's, Tanya noticed her. She greeted Ivy with a smile, "Dr. Jones, long time no see." Without waiting for Ivy's response, she came over and held Ivy's hand. "After the inspection is over, as long as the city leaders don't need me to accompany them, I'll come over to chat with you." Dr. Ticko coughed lightly, "Tanya, you can't do that. The city leaders highly value you. You can't let them lose face." It seemed that this father and daughter were showing off. They wanted to flaunt that they had not been affected by the previous engagement scandal but instead had risen to new heights. With this in mind, Ivy patted Tanya's hand and said, "Sure, I'll be at your service." Ivy's gaze then fell on Jenny. She noticed Jenny standing quietly in the corner, her eyes shifting nervously between Dr. Ticko and Ivy. Jenny seemed to hope Dr. Ticko would pay attention to her but was also afraid he would. Ivy smiled and brought Jenny forward, giving her a generous compliment. "Dr. Jenny, you look absolutely stunning today, both professional and competent. I'm sure the city leaders will be very impressed by you." With everyone's attention now on her, Jenny raised her chin, and her heavily made-up face made her look like a proud peacock. Her mentor had told her that once he secured a stable position in the County Clinic, he would divorce his wife and then get married with her. At that time, she would be Tanya's stepmother, and the Alter Group would become her wealthy family. People from all around would envy her! Thinking of this, Jenny cleared her throat and said with a smile, "Dr. Jones, Director Malcom has already agreed. If I successfully host the city leaders during the inspection, he will promote me to a real doctor. I'm no longer an intern after today." "Is that so?" Ivy raised an eyebrow. "Congratulations in that case." Jenny pouted, "Is a verbal congratulations enough?" Ivy smiled and handed her a bottle of canned tea. Then she turned to Dr. Ticko and handed him a package. "Dr. Ticko, you've done a remarkable job in nurturing such an outstanding apprentice. I must learn from you and also do my best to train Alyssa. I toast you and thank you for cultivating such a talented individual for our County Clinic. The clinic wouldn't be the same without you!" The heartfelt praises left both the mentor and student feeling rather uncertain about their roles in the clinic. Dr. Ticko received the tea from Ivy and unusually invited her, "Dr. Jones, stay and celebrate with us." "Sure," she responded with a smile, and then, seeing that Tanya had been left out, she slightly raised her lips and said, "Would you like to join us, Tanya?" Tanya hummed softly and replied, "Hurry up and finish celebrating. The leaders are arriving." And then she turned and went to the VIP lounge. "Dr. Ticko, you go ahead, I'll head to the inpatient department first. We have a patient with a post-operative fever today, and I need to check on them," Ivy said. Dr. Ticko waved his hand, "Go ahead. Protecting the health of our patients is our primary duty as doctors!" Ivy nodded and left. In the inpatient department, she, accompanied by Alyssa, inquired about the condition of each patient. Just as they were finishing up, a frantic nurse rushed in, saying, "Dr. Jones, Dr. Jones, something's not right. The hospital director wants to see you right away." Frowning, Ivy replied, "My patients are not done yet." "Let Alyssa take care of them. She's so capable; she'll handle it," the nurse said, pulling Ivy along, "We can't find Dr. Ticko and Dr. Jenny anywhere. The hospital leaders are in the VIP lounge. The director can't handle it; you need to go right now." ***
