After Chu Yunqi...

Chapter 52 Assessment

Chapter 52 Assessment

Ding Xinye happened to be in the office when Chu Yunqi knocked on the door. Seeing him coming, Ding Xinye asked, "How have you discussed the matter with your brother's friend? What is Jing Zhan's attitude?"

"It hasn't been decided yet. The patient left first because of something."

As he spoke, Chu Yunqi sat down opposite him and said seriously, "Uncle, I want to come back to work."

Ding Xinye asked as he read the documents, "Why don't you take a break for a while? How are you recovering? Can you hold on?"

Chu Yunqi nodded and replied, "I'm free at home anyway, so it would be convenient for me to go back to the hospital for rehabilitation."

"Okay, then I'll have someone arrange it for you. You'll see the clinic in the mornings from Monday to Friday, and you'll be taking care of the students in the afternoons. The assessment is coming up soon, and you'll have the time, so please keep an eye on them. I've been busy lately, so I don't know them very well, so please feel free to offer your suggestions when the time comes."

Anything was better than sitting idle, so Chu Yunqi agreed. Ding Xinye then said, "What about Xu Ye? He's the child of a classmate of mine and a graduate student at Jingzhan. He's smart and talented, a promising young man, but he's a bit too arrogant. If we curb his arrogance now, he'll become something great in the future. His father also told me to control his temper, so you should pay more attention to him."

It just so happened that Chu Yunqi also had some opinions about Xu Ye, and now he finally had a legitimate reason.

With his demands resolved, Chu Yunqi returned home contentedly.

He met Zhou Jingzhan again at the morning meeting the next day. After coordinating a series of tasks, Director Ma continued, "There's one more thing. All interns and trainees, please take note. In half a month, it will be your final assessment. The results of the assessment will also determine whether you can stay. The department has discussed this, and Professor Chu will set aside time during this period to evaluate your comprehensive abilities. He will also participate in our selection process. Please do your best."

After the meeting, as soon as everyone dispersed, Ren Jieling took the initiative to walk to Chu Yunqi's desk and whispered, "Professor Chu, can I go to the outpatient clinic with you today? I want to learn more."

Chu Yunqi has always favored students who are hardworking and studious, so Ren Jieling's request is naturally no problem.

With Ren Jie Ling was Xu Ye, who was exiled by Ding Xinye.

When the three of them arrived at the clinic, there was already a long line outside the door. Chu Yunqi didn't dare to delay and told Xu Ye, "Go call someone."

After that, he logged into the computer, waited for Xu Ye to come back, and pushed the keyboard in front of him, "I told you to organize it."

Xu Ye was furious, "Why should I help you with your work?"

Chu Yunqi replied indifferently, "Be content. Do you know how popular my class is? It's a bargain for you to attend it for free."

Thinking of what Director Ma said in the morning meeting, even though Xu Ye was not convinced, he had no choice but to do as he was told.

It must be said that Xu Ye had indeed learned a lot this morning, so by the end of the clinic, his attitude had improved a lot. Seeing that Chu Yunqi's thermos was empty, he took the initiative to ask, "Would you like some water?"

Chu Yunqi didn't hesitate to give him the water cup. After Zhou Jingzhan rejected his lunch invitation, he said, "I'll treat you to lunch at noon."

Ren Jieling nodded gently, "Thank you, Professor."

The three of them met at a Cantonese restaurant. As luck would have it, they ran into Zhou Jingzhan. There was a young girl sitting opposite him, and they seemed to be having a great conversation.

As soon as Xu Ye saw Zhou Jingzhan, he couldn't hold back and took the initiative to go forward and say hello. This way, Zhou Jingzhan also saw Chu Yunqi, and his expression showed jealousy.

Zhou Jingzhan stood up and began to explain, "My sister came to play with me."

At this time, Zhou Yi also reacted and greeted them.

The two groups naturally shared a table. Chu Yunqi was puzzled, "How come I didn't know you had a sister?"

"It's from my uncle's house. You've seen it before." He then turned to Zhou Yi and said, "Do you still remember? This is your brother Yunqi. He played dolls with you in the old house when you were little."

Zhou Yi was still at the age of playing with dolls, which was at least ten years ago. Chu Yunqi really couldn't remember it, so he changed the subject, "Now that I remember, you should be in college."

Zhou Yi nodded, "Yes, I'm learning dance."

The following topic revolved around the academic problems of the three young people.

During the meal, Ren Jie Ling went to the bathroom.

Soon Zhou Yi also used the excuse of going to the restroom. In fact, she was following Ren Jie Ling. She knocked on the door and asked quietly, "Sister, I'm Zhou Yi. Are you okay? I saw blood on your pants."

After a while, a shy voice came from inside, "I, I suddenly got my period."

"It's okay, sister. Wait for me. I'll go find you some clothes."

The service in the high-end restaurant was attentive. Not long after, Ren Jie Ling cleaned up and came out. She saw Zhou Yi waiting for her outside the door. As if to comfort her, Zhou Yi pretended nothing had happened and took her arm and went back.

Changing clothes was easy to spot, so Zhou Yi took the initiative to say, "I accidentally spilled hand sanitizer on my sister's clothes. I wasted some time."

"You are so old and still so clumsy. Have you apologized to her?" Zhou Jingzhan scolded her, but he didn't seem angry at all. It was obvious that he doted on his sister very much.

The meal passed quickly with Zhou Yi and Xu Ye, two lively guys, entertaining everyone. Zhou Jingzhan did not go back to the hospital with them, but went shopping with Zhou Yi.

When it was time to go to work, after safely handing Zhou Yi over to the driver and bodyguard, Zhou Jingzhan returned to the hospital. Chu Yunqi happened to go for rehabilitation during his lunch break. Zhou Jingzhan had surgery scheduled in the afternoon, so the two did not meet.

It was a rare day that he didn't have to work overtime, so Zhou Jingzhan accepted his friend's invitation. After checking the room, he planned to ask Chu Yunqi if he wanted to go.

What Zhou Jingzhan didn't expect was that Chu Yunqi hadn't left work yet and was instructing interns in the demonstration room. He probably wasn't going.

There were so many people around, but Zhou Jingzhan didn't go in. He sent a message to Chu Yunqi: Come to dinner on time, Zhang Abao is waiting for you downstairs.

Chu Yunqi replied quickly: I know, I will eat later.

Zhou Jingzhan knew that Chu Yunqi was a man who worked day and night when he was serious. He didn't know when he would wait for the time being, so he pressed on: Go now.

Chu Yunqi didn't listen: Let him go, I'll go to the cafeteria to eat after I'm done

Zhou Jingzhan no longer stopped to look at him through the glass. After entering the elevator, he replied: If I don't see you in five minutes, I'll let Zhang Abao take me up.

Chu Yunqi gave in and made an excuse to go to the parking lot. It took him five minutes to find Zhang Abao. Zhou Jingzhan's car was parked steadily next to him.

Chu Yunqi kicked the tires twice viciously like an angry cat, then ran to the car door and stood there.

The scene in front of him made Chu Yunqi stunned for a second.

Zhou Jingzhan actually had a cigarette between his fingers!

After all, he is an adult. Moreover, based on the current findings, Zhou Jingzhan smokes very few times, so it cannot be said that it is harmful to his health.

What Chu Yunqi couldn't accept was the feeling of being out of control and beyond his expectations.

After seven years of separation, any change in Zhou Jingzhan that Chu Yunqi didn't understand was like a thorn in his heart, constantly reminding him of all the years he had missed.

Chu Yunqi concealed his inner uneasiness, snatched Zhou Jingzhan's cigarette, and put it out on the steering wheel under his gaze, leaving a threat, "Next time I find you, I won't put it on the car."

Zhou Jingzhan thought he was joking and spit the remaining cigarette in his mouth into Chu Yunqi's face as if it were a provocation. He said, "Leave me alone," and drove away.

How cute, Chu Yunqi thought to himself, and went to find Zhang Zhang Abao with a smile.
