Chapter 579: Gathering Information
After the treatment ended, Shen Qian arranged some other work, and then she clamored to go downstairs to see Bai Zhi's motorcycle.
"Wait a minute, call my cousin too. Wasn't he being discharged from the hospital today? I rode that bike over specifically to show him."
"OK."
Ye Qingbai was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, and Shen Qian needed to give him some important instructions, so she and Bai Zhi went to Ye Qingbai's ward.
When they arrived, the comrades who were there to greet Ye Qingbai upon his discharge from the hospital had already arrived and were packing their things.
"Cousin, are you all changed?"
Ye Qingbai was dressed in a military uniform, his posture upright.
I'm about to be discharged from the hospital and return to my unit. My overall mental state has improved.
He said with a smile, "It's all changed. Look, we've packed our things."
He looked at Shen Qian, who was following behind Bai Zhi, and asked, "Dr. Shen, can we proceed with the discharge procedures now?"
"OK."
Shen Qian gave him the doctor's order and gave him some instructions on what to pay attention to during rehabilitation.
"When you have time, you can come to the hospital for rehabilitation. There are specialized doctors to guide you, and the rehabilitation effect is quite good."
Ye Qingbai readily agreed, "No problem, I'll come when I have time."
"Cousin, I've been waiting for you all morning. Did you buy the motorcycle yet?"
"I bought it. I've already ridden over. I specifically asked you to come down and take a look."
"Let's go, let's go down and take a look."
Ye Qingbai was more eager than anyone else. With his arm in a sling, he had already walked ahead. Bai Zhi and Shen Qian looked at his hurried steps, their lips twitched slightly, and they followed.
Ye Qingbai spotted the Jialing motorcycle parked in the parking shed downstairs from the inpatient building.
"That's right, this is the one."
Ye Qingbai gripped the motorcycle handlebars with one hand, looked it over, and nodded in satisfaction.
He sighed, "It's a pity my arm is inconvenient, otherwise I could ride around a couple of times to have some fun."
He hadn't ridden a motorcycle for a long time.
Bai Zhi said, "What's the rush? Wait until you've recovered your horse."
The comrades who came to pick up Ye Qingbai from the hospital also followed behind. When they saw the cool Jialing motorcycle, their eyes lit up. "Platoon leader, whose motorcycle is this?"
"My cousin's."
Upon hearing Ye Qingbai's words, his comrade looked at Bai Zhi in astonishment and exclaimed, "Wow, is the deputy battalion commander's wife really that amazing?"
A petite girl riding such a grand motorcycle.
But to be honest, why am I a little envious?
"Of course, it doesn't matter whose cousin she is."
After Ye Qingbai finished expressing his pride, he looked at Bai Zhi and reminded her, "Cousin, it's a promise that once my hand is healed, you have to let me ride the motorcycle."
Bai Zhi readily agreed, "No problem."
"Then let's go and complete the discharge procedures."
Just as Ye Qingbai was about to take a step, he remembered something, stopped, looked at Shen Qian, and said sincerely, "Dr. Shen, thank you for your help during this time."
With her hands in her pockets, Shen Qian said in a calm tone, "You're welcome. You're my patient, so it's only right that I do this."
"I'll treat you to a meal when my arm is better."
Seeing that Ye Qingbai had finally come to his senses, Bai Zhi's expression brightened slightly as she looked expectantly at Shen Qian, awaiting her reply.
"Go back and focus on rehabilitation; we can talk about the rest later."
Her reply was ambiguous. Ye Qingbai could only nod, "Okay."
After Ye Qingbai and his comrades left, Bai Zhi asked with dissatisfaction, "My cousin said he'd treat you to dinner, why didn't you just agree?"
"Why should I agree?" Shen Qian replied seemingly calmly, but her flickering eyes revealed that she was not as indifferent as she appeared.
Bai Zhi was disappointed by her reaction. "What's wrong with friends treating each other to a meal and expressing gratitude? Don't be so distant. My cousin is humorous, handsome, and a real ray of sunshine. It's so much fun to eat with someone like him. Besides, he's genuinely grateful to you. Your life is too monotonous; you should make some changes."
"With everyone so busy every day, what can be changed?"
Shen Qian quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Officer Sun's condition has stabilized now. What are your plans next? The hospital only asked you to treat Officer Sun, don't you have any other ideas?"
Shen Qian was very curious about what the hospital leaders were thinking. Did they ever consider keeping Bai Zhi, this great talent?
Or what exactly is Bai Zhi thinking? Could it be that she thinks their hospital is too small?
Bai Zhi evaded her question, saying, "Don't worry about me, I have my own plans."
"Are we really friends? Why are you being so secretive and not telling me anything?"
Seeing Shen Qian looking at her resentfully, Bai Zhi touched her nose and spoke.
"Okay, I'll tell you, I'm going to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the county town."
Since we've already reached the preparation stage, there's no need to hide it any longer.
The idiotic answer surprised Shen Qian greatly. "Ah, I thought you would come to work at our hospital."
“Your hospital is mainly a surgical department with so many authoritative doctors. If I come here, I'll just be in a sinecure. I still want to open a clinic outside and treat ordinary people. I can’t let my versatile medical skills go to waste.”
Military hospitals rarely see ordinary people.
The key issue is the limitation of their expertise; ordinary people with minor illnesses, injuries, or complex diseases cannot be treated here.
After listening to Bai Zhi's words, Shen Qian gave her a thumbs up, her face showing sincere admiration. "Xiao Zhi, I really admire you."
Many people are focused on their own future. Only she, after studying medicine, always kept the people's well-being in mind.
"What do you admire about me?"
Bai Zhi glanced at the time and was about to leave. "Alright, I should go back now. I plan to go to the county town to check out the shops."
"Do you want me to go with you after I've rested? I'm worried about you being alone here in an unfamiliar place, and I'm sure Lu Ye is worried too."
Bai Zhi smiled and waved her hand, already preparing to ride her bike. "There's nothing to worry about. I've been to the county town countless times, I know the way like the back of my hand. I'll ride my bike there, it'll be convenient and save you the trouble. You go ahead and do your work."
"So you're not eating at the hospital?"
It was lunchtime.
"Of course I won't eat at the hospital anymore. I'll go to restaurants in the county town. I've had enough of eating at the canteen."
Shen Qian, "!!!"
She's had enough of it after just a few days; she's been eating it for years.
She also wanted to eat out.
"I'm leaving now."
Bai Zhi put on her hat and gloves, got on her motorcycle, and left the hospital.
Shen Qian stood there watching the dashing figure disappear into the distance, her face full of satisfaction.
It also carried a touch of melancholy.
She was all alone again.
A doctor on his way to the cafeteria after get off work passed by and called out to Shen Qian, who was standing there in a daze, "Dr. Shen, are you going to eat?"
"good."
Shen Qian snapped out of her daze and headed towards the cafeteria.
After getting my food at the cafeteria and sitting with my colleagues, I felt a sense of emptiness in my heart.
For the past few days, she has been eating with Bai Zhi and Ye Qingbai.
Just as Bai Zhi said, Ye Qingbai is the atmosphere-maker; with him around, there will never be an awkward silence.
She and Bai Zhi can also discuss some medical issues.
Before she met them, she was used to being alone in the hospital.
I never thought there was anything wrong with eating alone.
She prefers quiet and eats quickly, always feeling that eating and chatting with others is a waste of time.
In just a few days, habits and perceptions that had lasted for years were changed.
That's terrifying.
