Su Ying chewed on his words carefully. Promising? Gu Jinghong was a man with a star on his shoulders. Even more promising than him? What position did that mean?
Su Ying didn't dare to think further. She must be overthinking. Is the Gu family... so powerful?
However, it seemed that Gu Jinghong was not on good terms with his family. Su Ying wanted to ask a few more questions, but she saw Gu Jinghong staring at the autumn trousers she had taken off.
Su Ying said quickly.
"It's okay, I'll wash it in a while and it will be clean."
Gu Jinghong's expression was full of self-mockery and sadness.
"Su Ying, it doesn't matter even if the operation fails." It's better than living in such a humiliating and undignified way now.
Su Ying stopped there and looked into Gu Jinghong's eyes.
"Old Gu, Chief, thank you for trusting me. I will not let you down."
The two looked at each other, and Su Ying saw her own clear reflection in Gu Jinghong's eyes. He was firm, resolute, and gentle.
"Su Ying, I don't want to thank you, nor do I want to hear you thank me."
Su Ying opened her mouth and nodded. She suddenly seemed to have a different feeling towards Gu Jinghong. She didn't have time to think about what was under the quilt. She quickly cleaned Gu Jinghong, covered him with a quilt, threw the dirty clothes into the basin, and carried them out.
Just as she closed the door, she saw Gu Huai standing at the door and was stunned.
"Why are you... here?"
Gu Huai's eyes fell on the dirty clothes in Su Ying's basin, and his expression was a little heavy.
"Comrade Su Ying, I'm waiting for you."
Su Ying turned her head to look at the ward. Gu Jinghong was staring at the ceiling in a daze again. She walked a few steps towards the corridor and nodded to Gu Huai.
Gu Huai followed Su Ying into the bathroom. Seeing Su Ying washing Gu Jinghong's clothes without changing her expression, his eyes became even deeper.
"Comrade Su Ying, I was waiting for you just now because I wanted you to persuade Lao San not to undergo the operation rashly. The risk is too great and it might cost him his life."
Su Ying was rubbing the clothes hard on the washboard without looking up.
"And now? Do you still wish me to persuade him?"
In fact, Su Ying didn't know what Gu Huai meant. He came to her to persuade Gu Jinghong just as a side job. His real purpose was to tell Su Ying that Gu Jinghong could not undergo surgery.
Su Ying actually had some concerns. Although her chances of success in surgery were higher than Professor Fu's, she herself didn't know how much higher. There was definitely still a failure rate. She didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be like if the surgery failed.
But every time she saw Gu Jinghong living such a depressed and painful life, she would become firm in her idea that as long as he was willing, she would be willing to accompany him to gamble.
"I don't want to persuade you now, Comrade Su Ying. I really want to thank you for being willing to stay by his side. You are better than any of us."
After saying this, Gu Huai turned around and left.
While washing clothes, Su Ying looked at his back in confusion. What does this sentence mean?
Gu Jinghong's surgery was the first of its kind in China and attracted the attention of many doctors, especially experts from various neurology departments, many of whom came to the hospital.
However, when they heard that the host was actually an intern, everyone was shocked. Most of the senior experts stood on the same front with Professor Fu, scolding Su Ying for being ignorant and not knowing her place.
Some of the emotionally excited ones even rushed into the ward and scolded Su Ying, but they were driven away by Chief Gu's cold eyes.
Although everyone was pessimistic and opposed it, Gu Jinghong's preoperative preparations were still proceeding in an orderly manner.
Su Ying even went to the old experts one by one to speak well of them and ask for their participation.
