The transfer procedures went smoothly. After contacting the other hospital, the ambulance took Xiao Xiao and the accompanying Dean Fang and set off.

There were medical staff in the ambulance, and only one family member could accompany the ambulance. So Shi Jing and Fang Ning took the high-speed rail.

Her luggage was still at the hotel. After leaving the hospital, she took a taxi to take Fang Ning back to the orphanage first, as he also needed to go back to retrieve his and Director Fang's luggage. Shi Jing returned to the hotel to pack her luggage before going to the orphanage to meet up with Fang Ning.

They took the high-speed train, which wasn't much slower than an ambulance.

Shi Jing had contacted Qi Jing while she was at the hotel, and also borrowed manpower from Zhang Ningyuan, so as soon as she arrived in Dingdu, someone came to pick her up.

The person who picked up the car was arranged by Zhang Ningyuan. His company has a branch in Dingdu, so arranging a car was convenient for him.

From afar, one could see someone holding up a sign at the exit, with Shi Jing's name written on it.

She led Fang Ning over, where a young man in his early thirties, slightly overweight, with fair skin, was holding up the sign. The man quickly recognized Shi Jing: "Hello, are you Miss Shi?"

"I am Shi Jing, thank you for your help."

"You're too kind."

This person was efficient and quick; he promptly helped carry the luggage and headed towards the parking lot.

They were picked up and driven to the hospital. When they arrived, Xiao Xiao and her family had just finished the formalities, and Xiao Xiao had already been scheduled for a check-up.

Qi Jing's assistant, Wang, had already met with Dean Fang, and the two were discussing Xiao Xiao's subsequent surgery and treatment with the doctor.

With Assistant Wang's help, Shi Jing only needed to wait for the results. By evening, Xiao Xiao's preliminary examination results came out, and the doctor also provided a treatment plan. Surgery was definitely necessary, but the child also needed to recuperate. If everything was stable, the surgery would take place in two days.

This matter is now considered closed.

Qi Jing's assistant, who was sent to help her, was very capable. She not only arranged things at the hospital but also took care of their food, clothing, and accommodation. Shi Jing felt the great benefit of having a reliable assistant.

If it weren't for the fact that he was Qi Jing's right-hand man, she would have poached him.

Assistant Wang rented a three-bedroom apartment near the hospital and hired people to cook and clean for everyone.

Xiao Xiao's diet was specially prepared by someone according to the doctor's instructions. Two days later, Xiao Xiao's examination went smoothly, and the surgery officially began.

With Xiao Xiao's problem resolved and Dean Fang no longer rejecting donations, Shi Jing's goal was achieved. Once Xiao Xiao's surgery was completed, she could leave with peace of mind.

A few hours later, the doctor came out of the operating room, and the people who had been waiting at the door rushed forward to ask about the result.

The surgeon removed his mask while reassuring the anxious family members.

"The surgery went smoothly, so the family doesn't need to worry. Just follow the doctor's advice and take care of yourself afterwards."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the doctor's answer.

Before leaving, Shi Jing had a chat with Fang Ning for a while. This kid had been pushing himself very hard lately, and only relaxed a little after Xiao Xiao's surgery went smoothly.

"Shi...Shi Jing?" Fang Ning was called aside and didn't understand what Shi Jing wanted to do.

"Fang Ning, Xiao Xiao's surgery was successful, so you don't need to be so tense anymore."

"Um."

Xiao Xiao's surgery went very well, and Fang Ning was overjoyed. He had been on tenterhooks the whole time, fearing something might go wrong with the surgery, and only now could he truly relax.

"I should go home now. There are some things I want to tell you before I leave."

Fang Ning looked at Shi Jing with slight surprise, only then realizing that the other party was just visiting the orphanage and would leave sooner or later.

He couldn't help but let a hint of reluctance show in his eyes.

Shi Jing patted his head. The boy was still very thin and short, and he would have to grow up properly in the future.

She took a disassembled cell phone out of her bag and handed it to Fang Ning.

"Hey, this is a gift for you."

Fang Ning was startled and was about to refuse when Shi Jing pressed his hand down.

"Xiao Ning, listen to me." Shi Jing changed her address, sounding more intimate. "I've already talked to your Director Fang, and we'll be sponsoring the welfare home in the future, so you won't have to work so hard anymore."

“The children in the orphanage have special circumstances. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can call me.”

"Of course, if I encounter any difficulties, I can discuss them with you, right?"

"Mmm." Fang Ning's eyes welled up with tears. "Th-thank you."

"You're welcome," Shi Jing said with a smile.

"Alright, I should go now. Call me if you need anything, or if Liangliang and the others miss me."

"good."

After saying goodbye, Shi Jing waved to everyone and turned to leave. She didn't have much luggage, which had already been sent to be collected; she could go directly to the station.

Having been away from Tianyuan City for almost half a month, Shi Jing missed his friends quite a bit. On his first day back, as soon as he settled into his accommodation, Shi Jing called Qi Yan and Qi Shuang. Qi Yan was free, but Qi Shuang was still busy filming at the film and television base.

When Qi Yan heard that she was back, she immediately said she wanted to come and see her. She hadn't gone out this year, and her friends were all busy with their own things, so she was feeling quite bored.

Shi Jing, of course, did not refuse. He sent her the hotel location and room number, and while waiting for Qi Yan to arrive, he ordered a lot of food and drinks online.

When Qi Yan arrived, the food she had ordered had also arrived. Shi Jing went downstairs to meet Qi Yan and brought the food up with him.

As soon as she entered the room, Qi Yan threw down her bag and pounced on the sofa.

"Ah, that feels so good!"

"What's wrong? You look so tired?" Shi Jing asked, curious about her appearance.

"Sigh, don't even mention it. Recently, my brother has been seeing me staying at home too comfortably, so he insists on dragging me to the company to work as his assistant."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jing burst out laughing.

Qi Yan glared at her immediately: "Are you gloating?"

"No, no." Shi Jing quickly waved his hand, even if he was really gloating, he couldn't show it.

Qi Yan rolled her eyes at her before getting up from the sofa and looking at the food on the coffee table.

"What did you order? I'm starving."

"I just ordered whatever was available. We have pastries from Songxiangfang, you like them, don't you?"

Qi Yan didn't stand on ceremony and started eating. As she ate, she suddenly remembered something and slapped her forehead: "I almost forgot, the drama Xiao Shuang filmed last year is airing, let's watch it."

"OK."

Shi Jing became interested upon hearing this. She had been very busy lately and had never paid attention to this kind of information before, so of course she wanted to take a look now that she had heard about it.

She took a glass of juice and a box of snacks from the coffee table, and the two of them leaned back on the sofa and turned on the TV.

Qi Shuang plays a crucial role in the female lead's early transformation, a character similar to a "white moonlight" figure, hence her early appearance. Shi Jing, watching the princess on television, so gentle, noble, and elegant, found it hard to reconcile with the usually carefree Qi Shuang.

"She completely transformed in the play; no wonder Xiaoshuang loves acting so much," Qi Yan remarked as she watched.

Shi Jing nodded in agreement. Qi Shuang was very talented in acting. The princess on TV was completely different from Qi Shuang's real personality, but Qi Shuang's acting made it feel natural; that was a talent in itself.
