Chapter 240 He cut straight to the point
Commander Du felt a little apprehensive. What foolish thing had he done?
Why does he have such a bad temper?
Wouldn't it have been better to have received treatment directly from the beginning?
The situation has only gotten worse as time has dragged on.
It turned out that Dr. Du was neither at the military base nor at home.
She's just leaving him hanging. What's he supposed to do now?
Commander Du was completely baffled and finally had to seek help from his superiors.
He hoped to find out Yang Zeyan's whereabouts through his superiors so that he could find Dr. Du as soon as possible.
This was the only way out, and the last resort.
At this moment, Du Ruoxia's peaceful life at the provincial hospital was disrupted.
A phone call from a superior came to the hospital, and the nurse hurriedly asked her to come over and answer it.
"Dr. Du, Commander Zhou wants you to answer the phone. He says he has something important to tell you."
Du Ruoxia was able to become an honorary military doctor thanks to Brigade Commander Zhou's high regard for her. He first asked for her opinion, and then went through the procedures, all of which he handled himself.
Without Commander Zhou's appreciation, Du Ruoxia wouldn't have gotten this position.
Although she proved herself with her own abilities, Commander Zhou was still like a mentor to her in life.
Commander Zhou was her elder and also her current superior. When her superior called, Du Ruoxia naturally dared not refuse.
She put down what she was doing and hurriedly followed the nurse to answer the phone.
Du Ruoxia was also curious to know what important matter Brigade Commander Zhou was in such a hurry to find her.
Du Ruoxia didn't answer the phone at the hospital reception; the nurse led her directly to the hospital director's office.
Du Ruoxia frowned slightly, thinking to herself that the secrecy measures were really well done.
The nurse knocked on the office door, and a voice inside said, "Come in."
Du Ruoxia followed behind the nurse, wanting to see just how important it was that required her to come in person.
When the dean saw Du Ruoxia, he immediately and warmly invited her over.
"Dr. Du, take this call. Commander Zhou has been waiting for you for a long time."
Even someone at the level of the dean rarely has the opportunity to come into contact with a leader of the rank of brigade commander Zhou.
Therefore, his voice trembled slightly when he spoke to Du Ruoxia.
"good."
Compared to his excitement, Du Ruoxia remained very calm.
She walked over to the dean and casually answered the phone.
"Hello, Commander Zhou, this is Du Ruoxia. May I ask what brings you here?"
Do you know Du Minghai?
Commander Zhou suddenly said a name, and Du Ruoxia frowned and thought for a moment, realizing that she really didn't know this person.
"I don't know him."
"That's Commander Du, who broke his leg in your unit a few days ago."
Upon hearing the name of Commander Du, Du Ruoxia instantly knew what Brigade Commander Zhou wanted to talk to her about.
Today marks the sixth day since she issued her ultimatum to Commander Du, meaning there's only one day left before even she can't cure his leg.
Commander Du must have suffered a lot outside, and after searching for several hospitals without finding a cure, he had no other choice but to turn to Brigade Commander Zhou.
He pretended not to care, but in reality he cared a lot about what she said that day.
Du Ruoxia wasn't exaggerating when she said this; she was simply saying that if his condition worsened over a week and he missed the optimal treatment period, even she would be powerless to help him further.
When Du Ruoxia finished speaking, Commander Du still insisted on leaving, so she no longer cared about his life or death.
Her thinking at the time was simple: if you want to leave, then leave; it's none of my business if you become disabled.
She has said everything she could, and now she has a clear conscience.
"Um."
Du Ruoxia gave a faint "hmm," seemingly unwilling to talk about their previous unpleasant experiences.
This young girl may seem delicate, but she's actually not easy to talk to. Even though he's the leader, Du Ruoxia doesn't really give him any face.
Commander Zhou paused for a moment, looking unusually flustered.
He didn't intend to beat around the bush any longer and went straight to the point.
"Du Minghai has asked his superiors to come to me for help. Regardless of any past grievances between you, I hope you can take some time to help him get medical treatment, just for my sake."
After Commander Zhou finished speaking, he didn't receive a reply for a long time.
He remained silent for a moment, just as he was about to continue his persuasion, when Du Ruoxia suddenly said "okay".
"I'm going back to my unit this afternoon."
We still have to give face to the leader, even though Du Minghai's attitude at the time angered Du Ruoxia.
But as a doctor, she didn't really want to argue with her patients.
No matter how bad Du Minghai's temper was, he was still an officer in the military.
He lived up to the expectations of the country and the people, and deserves to be called a hero.
How could Du Ruoxia possibly hold a grudge against someone like that?
However, Du Minghai spoke rudely to her and looked down on her at the time. Du Ruoxia still hoped that he could change this bad habit of looking down on people.
"However, I have one condition: I want Du Minghai to apologize to me in person."
Du Ruoxia's conditions weren't very demanding; she just wanted him to realize his mistake.
Even military officers, pillars of the nation, and heroes of the people should at least know how to respect others.
Du Ruoxia did this simply to teach him a lesson and make him better than before.
"Okay, after you heal his leg, he will give you the apology you want."
"I have other things to take care of, so I'll stop here for today."
Commander Zhou agreed and hung up the phone.
Du Ruoxia put the microphone back in its place, her face still expressionless.
On the contrary, the dean looked at her with excitement.
"It's really strange that Brigade Commander Zhou would personally call you to ask you to treat Division Commander Du!"
"He just wanted to talk to me about something."
Du Ruoxia didn't think there was anything to praise about it.
Her expression remained calm; this was perfectly normal for an old man.
The dean looked at Du Ruoxia thoughtfully, feeling that this young girl was a bit too mature for her age.
She looked to be in her early twenties, so beautiful, and as composed as a retired cadre.
It would actually be quite good to have her as the director of their hospital.
He also thought that Commander Du, who had come to their hospital for treatment, was quite receptive to advice.
He suggested that he go to Du Ruoxia to see a doctor, and he actually went.
These days, there aren't many young people who listen to advice like this, and the dean feels quite accomplished when he thinks about it.
He was still stroking his mustache, lost in thought, when Du Ruoxia got up, pushed open the door, and left.
Du Ruoxia had already walked far away when the dean realized that he hadn't had time to say what he wanted to say.
"Oh, oh, oh, never mind, never mind, let's talk about it next time. I'm not tired of being the dean yet."
Du Ruoxia arrived at Yang Zeyan's room.
"What does Commander Zhou want with you?"
Hearing the noise, Yang Zeyan turned around and looked at him naturally, asking.
"I'm going back to my unit."
Du Ruoxia recounted her conversation with Commander Zhou in detail.
"So that's how it is. Although Commander Du speaks frankly, he's not a bad person. I believe this incident has taught him a great lesson."
“I worked with him before when I was on a mission. He was very cooperative with my work and helped me a lot.”
Fearing that Du Ruoxia would be unhappy, Yang Zeyan quickly recounted many of the good things Chief of Staff Yang had done for her.
Seeing his cautious manner, Du Ruoxia couldn't help but laugh.
