Counterattack Strategies

n,” Bernice said, leading Lu Jingqian out of the Dean’s office.

The Dean has lived to this age, always maintaining neutrality and not siding with any faction, but he was still able to sit firmly in the position of the Dean, which of course was due to his exceptional qualities.
He was definitely not a person who does things based on his mood, nor was he someone who believes in letting someone stay just because he likes them.
The reason why he gave Lu Jingqian the opportunity to stay was partly that Reynold personally wrote a letter of guarantee, which he must honor, and partly because he decided to give Bernice and Lu Jingqian a chance to prove that they are truly rare geniuses after reading Bernice’s report.

The Dean was old and had become powerless in many things, and his age and physical condition have already reached the point where he should retire.
However, who will sit in the position of the Dean after he retires was being closely watched by everyone, not only by his subordinates but also by people from various factions.

The position of the Dean of the Imperial Star Military Hospital not only carries great responsibility but is also a crucial position in critical moments.
Therefore, every faction wants to push its own people to this position.
At present, the two Deputy Directors, Bernice and Kraut, have the most hope of competing for this position.

As for whom the Dean’s heart leans towards, was naturally cannot be seen through by anyone.
The final result still depends on their own performance, because public opinion is sometimes the key to deciding the final result.
It depends on who can win the public’s favor.
Of course, the Dean cannot do nothing.
For example, when it’s critical, he can secretly help the person he was biased towards.

Lu Jingqian not only successfully joined as a military doctor but also obtained the right to use a Level 1 personal laboratory shortly after joining.
To obtain the right to use a level 1 laboratory, one must guarantee three level 1 research results each year.
If this condition is met continuously for seven years, one can obtain permanent use rights, unless there is a major mistake or fault, which will result in the revocation of the use rights.

In order to save Reynold, Lu Jingqian had already produced more than five level 1 research results in the short period of time he spent at the border.
Although he had not been in the position for a year, he had a reason to quickly heal Reynold’s leg, so he could use the laboratory ahead of schedule, which was an exception to the rule.

Lu Jingqian’s rapid promotion to become a military doctor had already caused dissatisfaction among many people.
Now with all kinds of exceptions and special treatment, it naturally makes more people jealous and unable to accept it.
Among those who are the most dissatisfied and jealous was of course Yalin.
He had been working for two years before finally obtaining the right to use a level 2 personal laboratory, while Lu Jingqian had obtained the right to use a level 1 personal laboratory as soon as he arrived.
How could he not be angry?

At this moment, he was standing outside Lu Jingqian’s laboratory, looking inside through the open automatic door where hospital staff was arranging the latest experimental equipment and instruments.

“Are you here to visit my laboratory?” Lu Jingqian asked from behind him.

Yalin immediately turned around upon hearing the voice.
He tried to conceal his jealousy and resentment, but still couldn’t help gritting his teeth and saying, “You’re really lucky.
Not only did you not die at the border, but you also saved General Reynold.
And now you’ve become a military doctor back on the Imperial Star.
Congratulations!”

“Who says otherwise?” Lu Jingqian said with a smile.
“Fate wants to help me.
It’s hard for me not to be lucky.
Maybe it’s because of the injustice I suffered before.
Even the heavens couldn’t bear it and wanted to give me some compensation.
And those who use malicious means to harm others will surely be punished.”

Yalin took two steps forward, lowered his voice, and looked at Lu Jingqian, “Don’t think that just because you have General Reynold’s support, you can do whatever you want without worries.
Even if General Reynold is powerful, sometimes he cannot go against public opinion.
When the General loses trust in you, you’ll just be a stray dog, and you’ll have to slink away.”

“It seems like you’ve already thought of a way to make General Reynold lose trust in me.
Or maybe you have a new plan to harm me and want to use public opinion to force me out of the imperial planet again.” Lu Jingqian.
“I’m ready to take on the challenge.
You should be prepared for my counterattack.
The winner this time will not only depend on fate but also our respective abilities.
I just don’t know if you have the confidence to beat me in terms of strength.”

“You can be as arrogant as you want now, but there will come a day when you will suffer a bitter defeat and cry.
Don’t come to me then.” Yalin said viciously.

“Well, that’s exactly what I wanted to say to you.
But since you’re already so angry, I’ll kindly refrain from saying it out loud.
I heard you’re using a level 2 personal lab now.
You probably don’t know what it feels like to work in a level 1 lab, do you? I won’t invite you in for a visit.
Knowing your habits, I’m afraid something will be missing again.” After saying this, Lu Jingqian walked past him and entered the lab to check what was missing, so that the staff could immediately retrieve it for him.
Then he was about to start developing a new drug because someone seemed eager to be crushed by him.

Yalin clenched his fists hard and walked away, suppressing his anger.
If he completed one more research project this year, he would be granted the use of a level 1 laboratory.
He would never let anyone take away the title of genius military doctor that he had earned.

Factional struggles were ubiquitous as long as there were power and interests at stake.
The open and secret struggles between the two Deputy Directors were not only a competition between themselves but also a competition between the forces behind them.

Kraut vehemently opposed Lu Jingqian’s employment at the Imperial Military Hospital because he knew Bernice had always had a keen eye for talent and didn’t want to increase his competitiveness.
Another reason was that even if he couldn’t stop Lu Jingqian from being employed, he wanted to deliberately provoke stronger dissatisfaction from others.
In any case, the goal was to make things difficult for Bernice.

The competition for talent among the factions was also quite fierce.
The reason why Yalin had the confidence to make Lu Jingqian repeat his failure even with Reynold’s support was that he had already been backed over by a faction.
