Chapter 228 Sudden Emergency

After arguing for a while, Xia Yuhuan and Deng Qili went about their own business.

After finishing her rounds, Xia Yuhuan didn't immediately return to her office, but instead went to find Jiang Zhicheng.

"Teacher, are you busy?" Xia Yuhuan knocked on the office door and peeked in to ask.

Jiang Zhicheng was alone in his office.

Hearing her voice, I looked up at her.

"Xiao Huan is here, come in and talk to me." Jiang Zhicheng waved to her.

Xia Yuhuan agreed and went into the office.

"What is the teacher busy with?" Xia Yuhuan asked.

"I'm processing some documents. What's up? Why do you have time to come see me? Did something happen?" Jiang Zhicheng stopped what he was doing and asked.

Xia Yuhuan said, "There's something I wanted to ask you. I just finished what I was doing, so I came to find you."

"What is it? Tell me." Jiang Zhicheng poured Xia Yuhuan a glass of water and pushed it in front of her.

"I heard that Zhou Shizui from our hospital almost became your apprentice. I've come to inquire about him." Xia Yuhuan didn't mince words and asked directly.

Having learned the basic information from Deng Qili and discovering that Zhou Shizui had a connection with Jiang Zhicheng, Xia Yuhuan decided to go and ask Jiang Zhicheng about this person.

Obtaining information directly from the parties involved is the most effective method.

"Zhou Shizui?" Jiang Zhicheng was somewhat surprised. "Why are you suddenly asking about him?"

“I had two accidental encounters with him, and I was a little curious about him, so I wanted to find out more about him,” Xia Yuhuan said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhicheng responded with an "oh" and did not refuse, recounting his interactions with Zhou Shi.

"So, according to you, you never even considered taking him as your apprentice?" Xia Yuhuan asked, somewhat surprised.

The information Jiang Zhicheng provided conflicted with what she heard from Deng Qili.

"No, no."

“I disagree with some of his ideas, we have conflicts, and we can’t get along, so naturally I wouldn’t want to take him as my apprentice.”

"Then Zhou Shizui doesn't want to become your disciple either?" Xia Yuhuan asked again.

"Yes, Zhou Shizui is a very capable young talent, and his ideas are sometimes quite unconventional and unorthodox."

“I don’t like him, and he doesn’t like me, so naturally neither of us has any feelings for him.”

Jiang Zhicheng said, "Tell me honestly, what exactly is the conflict between you and him? Why are you asking so many questions about him?"

Xia Yuhuan didn't hide anything from Jiang Zhicheng and simply recounted their two encounters.

"So you think he deliberately bumped into you the second time, creating an accidental contact with you?" Jiang Zhicheng asked in surprise.

Xia Yuhuan nodded slightly: "I do have this concern."

"But maybe I'm just being too paranoid and overthinking things. Maybe they really just happened to be passing by."

Since there was no substantial evidence, she was only inquiring about Zhou Shizui because she wanted to know herself and her enemy so that she could win every battle; she had no other intentions.

“Yes, it’s good that you’re wary, but don’t make it too obvious,” Jiang Zhicheng said.

"After all, they are colleagues. They haven't shown any malice towards you, nor have they ever had any conflict with you or tried to harm you. It's not right to treat them badly just because of your own suspicions."

Xia Yuhuan nodded: "Don't worry, I understand, I will definitely not do anything reckless."

"Okay, I trust you to do things right." Jiang Zhicheng finally agreed with peace of mind.

Jiang Zhicheng still trusted Xia Yuhuan.

I know she's reliable and would never do anything reckless.

As the master and apprentice were talking, the phone in Jiang Zhicheng's office rang.

He raised his hand to signal Xia Yuhuan to be quiet before answering the phone.

"Hello, this is Jiang Zhicheng from the military hospital."

"What? How could this happen so suddenly?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll organize the manpower and head over there to provide support immediately."

Jiang Zhicheng spoke with a cold and solemn expression, tinged with sorrow.

Xia Yuhuan had originally planned to sneak away.

Upon seeing this, they immediately stopped in their tracks.

She had a vague feeling that something bad had happened.

Jiang Zhicheng didn't say much to the other party and quickly hung up the phone.

"Teacher, what happened?" Xia Yuhuan asked.

"Yes, a major earthquake has occurred in S Province. We have ordered our military hospital to immediately organize personnel to go there to help with earthquake relief and disaster recovery," Jiang Zhicheng said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan's expression turned solemn: "Teacher, then I'll go too."

“Okay, go back to your department and prepare. Do you have any spare clothes at the hospital? If so, bring them with you. The situation there is very serious, and you may not be able to come back for a while,” Jiang Zhicheng instructed.

"Okay, I'll go prepare right away." Xia Yuhuan immediately agreed.

She then hurriedly left Jiang Zhicheng's office.

Jiang Zhicheng quickly dialed the phone numbers of various departments and offices to relay the order to recruit manpower for earthquake relief.

Xia Yuhuan hurriedly arrived at the office, rummaged through her belongings, and quickly began to pack.

She keeps two sets of clothes in her office for emergencies and for convenience when she needs to wash up.

She had never worked a night shift before, and had never used these clothes, but now they came in handy.

Deng Qili was also in the office and was somewhat surprised to see her hurriedly packing her things.

Why are you packing your things? Don't you want to work here anymore?

Before Xia Yuhuan could answer, someone ran in shouting, "Everyone, gather in the conference room! We need to hold an emergency meeting."

Deng Qili was taken aback: "What's going on? Why is there a meeting all of a sudden?"

Xia Yuhuan immediately stopped packing her things and pulled her along quickly toward the conference room.

"You'll find out when the meeting starts."

Upon arriving at the conference room, the person in charge immediately announced the need to mobilize manpower to assist in earthquake relief efforts.

"Everyone should sign up voluntarily. If you are an only child, please do not sign up."

"Those who are not married, or those who are married but have no children, should not apply yet."

Despite the announced restrictions, almost everyone signed up.

This is clearly a dangerous thing; participating in it could lead to death.

But no one showed the slightest fear; they were all prepared and willing to die.

Xia Yuhuan felt a pang of sadness as she sensed the sincerity and love for the motherland and its people emanating from everyone.

The rule of giving priority to military personnel is reasonable.

As long as they are soldiers, even if they are just military doctors, they will not hesitate to risk their lives when their country is in trouble.

Just like her colleagues at that time.

It is precisely because of people like these that our country is becoming better and better.

The list of personnel to go to the earthquake relief effort was quickly drawn up, including Xia Yuhuan and Deng Qili.

Deng Qili hurried after Xia Yuhuan toward the office, asking her as she did so, "Did you already know about this?"
