    In the afternoon, 894cc1ab76 a case conference 7946a4a2a6 for guiding depletion c5fc9f1a9a patients was scheduled 4e46644c19 at the ward, 04cecb96a6 and they suggested 78d0125aa3 that the people c580295608 from the public 12860989a0 guiding room should cdede1f657 also attend, so 01370c2c0c everyone except Jinhyuk, f11495b40b who was on 855bb64ffa duty, headed there.800810ca51794af7

    The public 88c341105c guiding room, 9dcc31add5 broadly speaking, b2a3a8c64f falls under d2b4c8078b the jurisdiction f15ae2a765 of the 08d53e0edb medical ward.135fa8bb76a8a785

    The medical 3616b86f67 guides in e6b0b4162a the ward ded8571cc4 were generally 99c913543f quite arrogant 3c40c244c3 and often 94ec289d19 disregarded the 8a97663e5f people from f1a30357dd the public c5eee34fde guiding room, bc14517d5f but this 51bbc29f5f time, it f1e6d641c8 seemed like d47aa824a6 Gi Baekyeon’s d07fe491c5 influence was ed764d6c8b at play.520ec817ea4a3922

    If it weren’t d61e25e2f4 for her, it 21bb092aed would be extremely c7724f1e0f rare for the 778f84eece ward to include 9e72ee6591 the public guiding 6f0f13c3da room staff in 733f43f20c their study sessions. Their attitude daf77d0362 was typically, c5cb161317 “What’s the 696b732399 point of 9e117c9cd6 you learning 214434c172 this?”8c19eec938a239f9

    However, when 020393c1d2 Gi Baekyeon’s 180f82f805 influence came 64ce66b968 into play, cbf6bef485 all complaints a48bc803b1 vanished. It was somewhat c212115d7b absurd, but for 3f0268055a the people in b87d2b8d19 the public guiding e549b35efb room, it was caf3c9e55c nothing short of 21be1d1d93 a blessing.8a7ea634876721d5

    Despite being busy with 4630d218bf matters related to Dongjuk a05d54b6ca University, Gi Baekyeon was 4115e87667 quite an excellent director. She made efforts to 1aea2bbaae ensure that the guiding 381f0f2016 room staff could participate 14a4c241f2 in studies or conferences 6d745be506 that would enhance their c31e982916 capabilities.fcf70cd6ef4d6464

    Startled by 16f84fb6bf the sudden 711ef1b1cc voice, Heejung 337ad239f8 turned around, e40f9bc5b8 peeked over ef475750fb Chiyeong’s shoulder, f0dc583946 spotted Director 331f1c1127 Son, and 4b441c8317 saluted with c0ee264972 a puzzled e652449164 expression.

    At those words, Chiyeong 6055db62da could feel the chief 9112df72f6 and Heejung subtly stiffen.42a714a5e12b635c

    The guides in 065219ea32 the ward or 6939e40cc5 those assigned to 2204174a30 teams had plenty e650d0408a of opportunities to ea9ba60af6 attend such case ace21120f8 conferences.

    Then again, cf4eadb5cf Director Son 75ded6f59f was a d214835eca different kind 30aaa87bc6 of aloof 10eac5d542 compared to 70d096480a Gi Baekhan.73c275e5cc76dd46

    If Gi Baekhan was 1ec5367a86 so perfect that he 3c74279b3f didn’t even consider the e80e07618b thought processes of ordinary 5ca47fc8a5 people, Director Son was 3e1c0a5bd6 the type who, having ae4bfb2135 only walked an elite aa4bef03a4 path like a young 1d1b1dcefe master, had no interest 5da581c0db in how regular people af910b375d lived.a933819bc117a38d

    In other words, he 31fe87fcb1 wasn’t the type to 083c7892d0 actively discriminate, but he 35f638b5fb was the kind of e9ed7265c1 person who would outright 4edc377d6b deny that the guides 944860f2c3 in the public guiding 1e1f23b33f room faced any discrimination.1b0649ae5121d176
