"That kid... he doesn't even know to complain to his elders. How foolish." Although Xu Changqing called Wang Jian foolish, there was no disdain in his voice.
Old Chen naturally understood. "That kid never wanted to be part of this in the first place. Now that he has a legitimate excuse, of course he won't tell you."
"Not an ounce of ambition," Xu Changqing muttered. "It was the same last time he was bullied at Beijing Hospital. He treats us elders like we're just decorations."
"What?" Old Chen chuckled. "So, you've finally decided to stand up for your disciple?"
"Stand up for him? What are you talking about? Don't be ridiculous," Xu Changqing said. "It's obvious that someone in the organization has their priorities skewed, and I'm just planning to help them straighten things out. How is that standing up for my disciple? Say that again and I'll sue you for slander."
"..." Old Chen couldn't be bothered to bicker with the old coot, so he simply ignored him.
