(The contract has been sent out; you can invest with confidence.)

Another new day begins. Early in the morning, Li Chu gets up and looks at his increasingly defined muscles in the mirror, especially his six-pack abs. He thinks back to his previous life when he couldn't even see his toes when he stood up and looked down, and nods in satisfaction. He clenches his fist, ready for another energetic day.

After washing up as usual, I went for a run. On my way back, I ate a bowl of braised pork offal by the roadside, rested for a while in the house, and then went to work.

Starting today, only Li Chu remains in the office. Nurse Yang Xiaohong has been assigned by the director to study at the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy. Dr. Luo Qicheng has moved to the adjacent second consultation room, and the two doctors in the second consultation room have been assigned to provide support in the rural areas surrounding Beijing. Their hospital has an annual rural support mission, which runs from April to October each year. Last year, it was Li Chu and Luo Qicheng who went.

Li Chu thought of the place he had visited last year and sighed. Farmers really suffer during famine years!

After cleaning, and since the weather was warm enough that I didn't need to turn on the stove, I took the thermos to the boiler room and filled it with hot water. I made myself a cup of tea and then sat down to read quietly.

Time passed slowly, and a few patients came one after another, some for initial consultations and others for follow-up visits. The office gradually quieted down again.

A graceful figure walked to the office door and stood there. "Dr. Li?" Her voice was clear and crisp.

Li Chu looked up and saw a pretty young woman, around 20 years old, with two braids tied back at the ends, giving her an elegant and refined air. She wore a plain navy blue work uniform, which, perhaps altered, was slightly fitted at the waist, but this only accentuated her bust. A line of text, presumably her company name, was stretched distorted on the left side of her chest. She wore ordinary trousers, but her long legs added a touch of stunning beauty to her outfit.

"I am Li Chu, and you are?"

"Hello Dr. Li, I am Ding Qiunan, a trainee from the Chengbei Machinery Repair Factory. Director Liang asked me to come and see you."

"Oh, I remember now, Dr. Ding, please come in." Saying this, she took out a glass from the cabinet under the table, rinsed it, poured a cup of hot water, and placed it on the table opposite her. "Dr. Ding, please have a seat."

"Dr. Li, please just call me by my name." Ding Qiunan sat down in the chair opposite her with a relaxed and natural air.

"Comrade Ding Qiunan, I don't know if there are other reasons, but I want to tell you that you can't learn much in traditional Chinese medicine in half a year."

“I know, Dr. Li. My former neighbor was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and I studied under him for a while. I can recite all the basic TCM books by heart. I came to the TCM department this time because I like TCM.”

"You have a foundation? That's good. I'll teach you diligently during your training period. These training spots must have been hard-won, so I hope you'll study hard."

"Don't worry, Dr. Li, I will do my best."

Li Chu nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Looking at his watch, he realized it was almost lunchtime and asked, "Comrade Ding Qiunan, have you prepared your lunchbox and food coupons? It's almost lunchtime."

"Everything is ready. The lunchboxes are in the dorm."

"Then go and get it. It's almost time. I'll show you the way in a bit."

"Okay, Dr. Li, I'll go right away." He then walked outside.

Li Chu tilted his head back, his gaze casually sweeping over the two plump, fertile buttocks. Thinking of that delicate face, he suddenly felt a surge of lust...

Pah...

It was love at first sight.

Ah! Spring has arrived!

Li Chu suppressed his thoughts, stopped himself, and knew he couldn't let his mind wander. He had to take it slow. He didn't even know if Ding Qiunan was single yet, and he couldn't afford to act recklessly these days.

When Ding Qiunan arrived, it was just after get off work, so Li Chu led her to the cafeteria, explaining the hospital to her as they walked.

After finishing their meal, the two returned to the office. Li Chu quized Ding Qiunan with some questions and then gave her a reading list.

"These books are available in the hospital's reading room. Just take my work ID to borrow them. I'll let you help out when there are patients. When you're not busy, you can read these books. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

After saying that, he gave Ding Qiunan his work ID along with the book list and told her to go borrow the books.

In the afternoon, while Li Chu was explaining a problem to Ding Qiunan, Director Liang strode into the office. "Xiao Li, the situation is urgent, so I'll get straight to the point. There's a woman in the obstetrics and gynecology department who is experiencing severe postpartum hemorrhage. The bleeding can't be stopped, and her life is in danger. I remember you can use injections to stop the bleeding, right?"

Li Chu thought for a moment and replied, "I haven't seen the patient, but it should be possible."

"Come on, come with me to the delivery room. Take all your needles with you. Xiao Ding, you come along too." After saying that, he walked out.

Li Chu and Ding Qiunan quickly followed.

The three of them ran towards the delivery room. As they ran, Director Liang said, "The situation is like this: the baby has been safely delivered, but the mother suddenly experienced unexplained massive bleeding during the postpartum observation period. The bleeding was very heavy, and she has already lost consciousness. There was simply no time to find the source of the bleeding."

As they spoke, they arrived outside the delivery room. The patient's family members were pacing anxiously outside. A middle-aged woman was slumped on the ground, wailing loudly. A young woman next to her was crying and comforting her. In the corner, a young man was silently shedding tears. When he saw Director Liang and his team arrive, the man rushed over and grabbed Director Liang's arm, asking, "Doctor, the person inside is my wife. How is she?"

Director Liang patted the man's arm and said, "Time is of the essence, let us go in first, we will do our best to treat him." After saying that, the three of them went into the delivery room.

As soon as Li Chu entered, he handed the bag containing the needles to the nurse for sterilization and went to the delivery bed to observe the patient. The woman was bleeding profusely from her lower body, and her face was deathly pale due to excessive blood loss. The obstetricians and gynecologists were at a loss and were sweating profusely with anxiety.
