Ivy followed the nurse to the meeting room and asked, "You can't find Dr. Ticko, even Dr. Jenny?" "No, we can't find them anywhere. Dr. Jones, please hurry, the city leaders are getting angry." Hearing the nurse's words, Ivy was taken aback. She quickened her pace and soon arrived at the VIP lounge. Director Malcom was pacing back and forth at the entrance, his forehead covered in sweat. Seeing Ivy, he pulled her into the lounge urgently and said, "Don't say anything, just go in and handle it." Ivy replied hesitantly, "..." With no choice, she was pushed into the lounge and could only apologize, "I'm sorry, leaders. Just now, a patient suddenly collapsed in the inpatient department, and I was busy with their treatment, which delayed your valuable time." The chief of the City Health Commission, Director White, upon hearing that she was late due to attending to a patient in need of emergency care, immediately calmed down, "It's alright. The patient's health is more important." "Thank you for your understanding," Ivy said, bowing deeply and then gesturing, "Please, this way. I will explain the situation of County Clinic to you." She took the keys handed by Director Malcom and led the group to various departments. Director Malcom pulled Tanya aside and warned in a low voice, "Don't follow us. Quickly find your damn father. If there's another slip-up, I won't be able to save him!" Tanya, thinking she must have misheard, couldn't believe the audacity of this small hospital director. "I'm a doctor at the First Hospital and the future daughter-in-law of the Alter Group. How dare you order me around?" "Even if God himself came, you better go find that person for me!" Director Malcom was furious, then he pulled Tanya back and left. Tanya watched helplessly as her opportunity to impress the city leaders slipped away, stomping her foot on the ground in anger. Under Ivy's guidance, the city leaders quickly completed their inspection of County Clinic. After inspecting the operating room, they returned to the lobby. "Director Malcom, Dr. Jones, County Clinic has developed very well under your care!" Director White praised with a smile."Umh!" Suddenly, a high-pitched shout echoed from the staircase. The voice was sweet and charming, revealing the owner's current excitement. Experienced adults had already guessed what was happening and frowned. "Leaders, let me escort you to your cars!" Director Malcom hurriedly urged them to leave. However, the noise in the staircase kept getting louder, more audacious, and without any restraint. Finally, Director White turned around with a stern face and walked toward the staircase. The door was forcefully pushed open by a bodyguard, and a strong, familiar adult scent filled the air, extinguishing the softness on everyone's faces. Everyone watched as Dr. Ticko and Dr. Jenny, completely naked and fully engaged in their activities on the ground. This sight wrinkled many foreheads. "Dad!" Tanya arrived and exclaimed in shock. She couldn't believe her eyes. She stared at her naked father and the woman smaller than her, the blood draining from her face. "Stop! Stop right now!" She lost her temper and pulled Dr. Ticko and Jenny apart, kicking and hitting them in her rage. The sharp pain finally brought the two back to their senses. "What's going on?" Dr. Ticko was the first to turn around and was met with the disgusted and contemptuous expressions of those watching from above. "Oh my God, Dr. Ticko and Dr. Jenny are supposed to be a mentor and student, right? How did they end up together like this?" "No wonder Dr. Jenny is always acting affectionate towards Dr. Ticko. And it explains how she managed to get excellent reviews every year despite her poor skills." Whispers grew louder and gradually turned into complaints and mockery. Seeing that the scandal was beyond salvage, Director Malcom had no choice but to awkwardly explain to the city leaders, "Leaders, you're busy with official matters. Let me escort you out." Director White glared at him, pointed at Dr. Ticko and Dr. Jenny on the floor, and asked, "Director Malcom, are these two not affiliated with the County Clinic?" "Of course not!" Director Malcom knew there was no way to save the situation and had to give up on Dr. Ticko. "They resigned last month, and their actions have nothing to do with our County Clinic." "Very well!" Director White patted Director Malcom on the shoulder, relieved. "I have a general understanding of your County Clinic's situation now. With your recent collaboration with DT Investment and the forthcoming policies from our city, I hope you can work hand in hand in the future, with a focus on caring for the people of this county. In the near future, our city will introduce some supportive policies, and I believe that applications that prioritize 'people first' and 'Healthy City A' as their primary objectives will be swiftly approved by our municipal finance department." Before leaving, Director White looked at Ivy, expressing her appreciation, "Dr. Jones, my assistant told me that you were not originally responsible for the coordination of this inspection, but you took over and performed exceptionally well under pressure. Someone like you, willing to dedicate yourself to the people of this County and embody such a selfless spirit while working at County Clinic, is truly admirable. I applaud your commitment, and I'm very impressed. Keep up the good work!" Ivy humbly replied, "Thank you, leader. I will work hard." Director White nodded in satisfaction, then led a group of people away. It wasn't until the group's car disappeared from sight that Director Malcom, who had been tensed, finally relaxed. His body went limp, and he helplessly collapsed to the ground, cold sweat pouring down. Raising his head, he glared fiercely at Dr. Ticko and Jenny. Then, he stood up, and his anger turned into the strength in his hands as he threw the champagne and cake on the table at them. "Look at the mess you two have caused!" "Director!" Seeing that a crowd of reporters had already gathered outside the clinic, Ivy stepped forward to stop Director Malcom from escalating the situation. "Let's go to the office first." Turning to Alyssa, she instructed, "You go to the inpatient department and make sure you stay at your post." Alyssa had just checked the internet and saw that some bloggers in the County had already exposed the clinic's situation. She knew it wouldn't be long before the place was filled with gossipmongers and reporters. So, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away." Ivy then looked at the stunned Zaya and Maya. "You two take the security guards and lock the clinic's doors. Don't let anyone in." Director Malcom still had lingering fear and patted Ivy's shoulder. He sighed softly, "Luckily, we didn't see any patients today because of the visit by the city leader. Otherwise..." He caught a glimpse of the disheveled two people on the side, but he didn't say anything more and turned to his office. After organizing things at the clinic, Ivy hurried to Director Malcom's office, where she heard Tanya's voice:"Director Malcom, you can't do this. My dad has worked diligently at County Clinic for decades, without credit but plenty of hard work. How can you just casually fire him? If anyone should be fired, it should be Jenny, who seduced him!" Ivy, holding the door handle, froze for a moment, a trace of mockery flashing in her eyes. Human nature is indeed selfish. Director Malcom frowned, wanting to scold but held back, due to Tanya's status as the daughter-in-law of the prestigious Alter family. "Dr. Ticko, you better head back now. Regardless, this is ultimately an issue for our County Clinic, and you, as an outsider, have no part in it." Just as Tanya was about to refuse, she saw Ivy enter the room. She immediately softened her tone and said, "Director Malcom, could you consider keeping my dad here, giving him a less demanding role at County Clinic? Please rest assured, I will repay your favor today, and I will make sure that the Alter Group--" "Director, everything outside has been handled," Ivy interrupted Tanya's words when she saw Director Malcom's dejected expression. Director Malcom looked up at Ivy and sighed heavily. "Dr. Jones, I'll leave all the clinic's matters to you from now on. I'll assist you once I've hired a new doctor." Upon hearing this, Tanya's delicate face instantly contorted. She couldn't understand why Ivy, someone who had made medical mistakes in the past, could rise to such prominence, while her father was being abandoned. "Director Malcom, I understand if you want to punish my dad severely, and I have no objections. But having someone like Ivy, who once caused a patient's death, take on such a responsibility, I simply can't accept it!" "You can't accept it?" Director Malcom couldn't contain his anger. He slammed the table and stood up. "You can't accept anything! Why should I care whether you accept it or not? Get out of here! I can't stand seeing the two of you!" "You! I..." Tanya was taken aback by his outburst, and her face turned pale. Seeing that Director Malcom was unyielding, she threatened, "Director, if my father-in-law were to know about this..." Director Malcom's face darkened. "You dare threaten me?" He had never seen such a shameless family. Dr. Ticko, standing nearby, saw Director Malcom's drastic change in expression and speculated that his daughter's threat was having an effect.Thinking this, he helped Jenny to her feet and raised an eyebrow smugly. "Director, you should be well aware of what the Alter Group is in City A, right? Don't blame me for not warning you in advance. Don't toast without drinking the fine wine!" With a loud slam, an infuriated Director Malcom stood up from his desk. "Very well, a family of ingrates! Very well." Just as he finished speaking, an assistant rushed into the room. "Dr. Tanya, Dr. Ticko and Dr. Jenny's photos have been leaked by the media, and the internet is in chaos. Chairman Alter wants you to see him immediately!" The assistant's voice was low, but everyone present heard it. ***
