Chapter 54: Transferred

Ning Tang was stunned when she heard this.

She never expected that Zhou Hairong would go through such a long and complicated process, only to end up recruiting her to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

From childhood to adulthood, across two lifetimes combined, the subject she has studied most is traditional Chinese medicine.

Going to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department is naturally what I want, and it's also a better choice for myself.

During her time in the surgery department, she did nothing but bandage wounds and help nurses give injections to patients. She seemed busy every day, but what she actually learned was not proportional to that.

Ning Tang suppressed her excitement and remained composed on the surface.

"Director Zhou, how do you know I understand traditional Chinese medicine?"

Zhou Hairong glanced at her, a knowing smile curving his lips.

“Last time you went to fight the wildfire, you used your own medicinal powder. After you came back, many soldiers went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department to inquire about it. I only found out after asking around.”

In recent years, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine has not performed as well as other departments in the hospital.

Especially since this is a military hospital, most of the patients are soldiers who were injured during training or on the battlefield.

When a wound is severe and urgent, Western medicine is usually the first choice for treatment.

The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine gradually became marginalized, and several highly skilled veteran TCM doctors were transferred away one after another.

The TCM department nowadays is just an empty shell, except for her.

All I do every day is get medicine.

His kung fu skills were completely useless.

Upon hearing this, Ning Tang made up her mind.

She must seize this opportunity presented by fate.

“I am indeed better at traditional Chinese medicine. When I first came to the hospital, Director Wang of the Department of Surgery offered to mentor me, which is why I stayed.”

"It's not too late to follow me now." Zhou Hairong's gaze fell on Ning Tang, and he rarely made such a promise to a junior who was younger than him. "Don't worry, once you go to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I will definitely not hide anything."

She admired Ning Tang's talent very much.

And she's not stupid.

Knowing how to quickly choose the side that is most advantageous to oneself between the two.

Such a person is destined for greatness.

However, there are some things she has to say upfront.

Zhou Hairong said sternly, "I'm giving you a month to assess your abilities during this time. If you don't meet the standards, I'm sorry, you won't even be able to go back to surgery."

Ning Tang was confident in fulfilling this requirement.

She agreed.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense, now take your things to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department."

Zhou Hairong was the first to leave the department.

"What about the dean?" Ning Tang asked.

"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."

As if remembering something, Zhou Hairong turned to look at Ning Tang and pointed at her.

"I know what happened with Lu Niannian. Don't worry, I won't let Zhang Jiaman off the hook."

"As for Lu Jiaxiang, I will speak to him."

After saying that, Zhou Hairong truly left this time.

Ning Tang carried the things to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department.

There were very few people and it was very quiet along the way.

The corridor was filled with the unique bitter smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

It has a completely different smell from the pungent smell of disinfectant.

Ning Tang felt more relaxed than ever before.

The office was empty. Her desk was by the window, and there was a stack of patient files on it.

There was a note left on it, instructing her to understand the patient thoroughly within an afternoon.

Ning Tang put her things away and quickly got into study mode.

Zhou Hairong didn't return until just before the end of the workday.

He tossed the office key to Ning Tang and told her to come early tomorrow morning.

An hour later.

When Ning Tang arrived home, Xu Qiaofeng followed closely behind.

"How about it?"

"fine."

Ning Tang put down what she was holding and suddenly asked, "By the way, Director Zhou Hairong transferred me to her department this afternoon. Do you think that's okay?"

As she spoke, she nervously looked at Xu Qiaofeng.

After all, Zhou Hairong is Lu Niannian's mother.

Wenya used to mention Lu Niannian in front of her all the time, and even though she didn't say it, Ning Tang still felt a little resentful.

Xu Qiaofeng smiled, then said worriedly:

"Aunt Zhou has a bad temper. Did she give you any trouble this afternoon?"

Ning Tang shook her head: "No."

Aside from being a bit sharp-tongued, it shouldn't be considered bullying...

"Tangtang, Aunt Zhou is straightforward and decisive at work. She doesn't tolerate any wrongdoing. If you can't keep up later, tell me and I'll talk to her."

Xu Qiaofeng was very serious.

Ning Tang felt a warm current in her heart upon seeing this.

Actually, being with an unstable element like Wang Yan is not as good as choosing Zhou Hairong, who speaks his mind directly.

However, Lu Niannian's presence made Ning Tang very uncomfortable.

She wasn't one to compromise herself, so she raised her serious eyes and spoke to Xu Qiaofeng, word by word.

“Xu Qiaofeng, I am a very stingy person.”

"If you have more than just me in your heart, once I find out, we'll go our separate ways."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qiaofeng's smile vanished instantly.

His face was so dark it was almost dripping with water.

He stepped forward, stretched out his long arm, and pulled the person into his arms, his voice tight and even urgent.

"Tangtang, why would you think that?"

Xu Qiaofeng looked down into Ning Tang's eyes. For the first time in his life, he knew what it meant to be completely at a loss.

"Tangtang, does your man really seem like some kind of philandering, fickle, and wicked person?"

Ning Tang thought about it seriously.

Xu Qiaofeng's face is so striking, especially with so many suitors around him, he definitely has a restless, unsettling air about him.

Seeing that she was seriously considering it, Xu Qiaofeng couldn't help but laugh.

He simply said nothing and grabbed her waist, which was so slender that it could be grasped with one hand.

The man's narrow eyes were fixed on the red lips in front of him, which he could touch with just a slight lowering of his head.

He subconsciously tensed his jaw and his Adam's apple bobbed.

Ning Tang sensed something was wrong and whispered, "I'll go downstairs to check on Grandma."

"Grandma has her sister-in-law by her side."

"Then I'll go check on how Zhang Sao is making the tonic soup tonight."

"My second brother is watching over us."

After several excuses were rejected, Ning Tang closed her eyes, knowing that she couldn't escape this time.

Xu Qiaofeng lowered his head.

He first kissed the tip of her nose.

Warm breath sprayed on her face, making her feel a little itchy, and Ning Tang wanted to reach out and scratch it.

But Xu Qiaofeng held her hands tightly.

He possessively held her close to his chest, his eyes filled with lust for her.

Xu Qiaofeng's voice was hoarse, but incredibly magnetic and sexy.

He asked, "May I kiss you?"

"Um……"

The faintest sound, barely audible, had barely escaped when Xu Qiaofeng grabbed her waist and lowered his head to kiss her.

Instead of rushing to conquer, she gently touched her lips, as if confirming some precious treasure, with a cautious tenderness.

Ning Tang was also drawn in, letting him lead the way.

The atmosphere inside was hot and stuffy.

The hot summer wind blows.

After the kiss, both of them were slightly out of breath.

Before Ning Tang could recover, Xu Qiaofeng, relying on his good lung capacity, suppressed it again.

The two didn't notice.

The door behind me was slowly opened a crack.

immediately.

Grandma Xu exclaimed, "Xu Qiaofeng, what are you doing!"
