Xu Rui curled his lips. The old man was rather partial. He always smiled at his daughter but never had a good face towards him.
"Dad, we played with Chen Xia all day today. In the afternoon, while we were boating, Chen Xia said she wanted to buy a villa by the West Lake. Then she could face the lake and see the flowers blooming every day. I think this is a very artistic and romantic feeling."
Xu Hongtai pretended to be surprised: "Wow, this Chen Xia is quite capable. He's an internist who can perform surgery and wants to buy a villa. He even made our little princess fall in love with him. What else can he do?"
Xu Yuan suddenly remembered something and burst out laughing: "He can be stingy. We went to the Xizi Hotel for dinner and had Western food. Dad, didn't you see how distressed he looked when he paid? It made me laugh to death."
Hahaha, the whole family laughed so hard when they thought about the young man who spent more than a month's salary on a meal and his distressed look on his face.
Only then did Xu Rui dare to speak: "Dad, Chen Xia really wants to buy the villa here. Why don't you ask your secretary Xiao Wang to go to the Institutional Affairs Bureau tomorrow to ask if it can be sold. I would like to help him."
Xu Hongtai nodded and said, "It's okay to ask, but this house will cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, which is unaffordable for most people."
"Don't worry, Dad. He spent 1,000 boxes of Moutai in Guizhou. He doesn't look like a family that's short of money."
Xu Hongtai sat up straight and said thoughtfully:
"That's what's strange. As far as I know, Chen Xia's father is an ordinary doctor, his mother is a farmer, and both his parents are deceased. This kid must have been doing business secretly to get so rich. Haha, he's really brave."
Xu Yuan asked nervously, "Dad, isn't he making a mistake? What's it called? Speculation?"
"What mistake did you make? The Shenzhen Special Economic Zone has been established. In the future, our country will definitely shift to focusing on economic development. Just wait and see. It is precisely people like Chen Xia who are bold and courageous who will become the richest people in the future."
Xu Rui whispered, "He is now one of the richest people."
Although Xu Hongtai is from the north, he is an "enlightened person" who supports reform and opening up. Things that others consider to be outrageous, such as doing business, are normal in his eyes.
It was precisely because of his views and ideas that his family arranged for him to work in Zhijiang Province, which has always been an open-minded region and can better play to his strengths.
How could a top-tier veteran like him not notice his daughter's unusual behavior? He'd never seen her take a boy's words so seriously. If it were a son, it would be understandable—brotherhood, after all. But for a girl to do the same, it could only mean she'd fallen in love.
But how can one move this heart just by saying so?
Xu Hongtai does not want to interfere with his children's friendships, but marriage issues are not something he, as a father, can decide. After all, he is just an important chess piece.
So how much autonomy does Xu Yuan have in her marriage? He is not optimistic.
But he didn't say it out loud. If this is his daughter's happy day, then let this happiness last a little longer. After having it, she can have something to think about for the rest of her life, right?
Doesn't he often miss the Xiaofang of the past...
The next day, Chen Xia took his textbooks and went to Zhijiang Medical University for his first class.
Chen Chun and the other three female college students in the dormitory had been waiting long ago. When Chen Chun saw Chen Xia walking towards him slowly with his head shaking and tail wagging, he got furious and grabbed his ears:
"When you come to university, you have to act like a student. This is not your general affairs department. You have to stand properly and sit properly, understand?"
"I know, I know. Hey, big sister, why are you getting more and more aggressive? You can't treat patients like this in the future."
"Get out of here! This is breakfast! Your classroom is in Building 9, Room 201. Don't make a mistake! Hurry up and leave."
Well, Chen Chun is an impatient person, which is exactly the opposite of Chen Xia’s personality.
When Chen Xia walked into the classroom, it was already full of people, and these students were obviously older than Chen Xia.
One of the older sisters saw someone coming in and shouted, "Look, here comes a little brother. We are really old."
A man in his twenties nearby said in a flattering tone, "How can Sister Hong be old? Sister Hong is the flower of our Provincial Third Hospital."
A male classmate behind me laughed and said, "Is it dogtail grass?"
Everyone around started laughing, including the older sister just now. It was obvious that this group of people knew each other and had a good relationship.
The older sister waved at Chen Xia and said, "My name is Xu Dahong, from the Provincial Third Hospital. Hurry and find a seat. The teacher will be here soon."
Chen Xia quickly nodded and bowed, imitating the male classmate next to him, saying very flatteringly: "Thank you, Sister Hong, I am Chen Xia, from Yuezhou Fourth Hospital. Please take care of me in the future."
Chen Xia could see that Xu Dahong had a very strong personality and was probably the big sister in the workplace. If he followed her, he would have less trouble in the correspondence course in the future.
Xu Dahong said to the person next to him in surprise:
"Look, he's Chen Xia, the youngest in our class and the only student from outside the provincial capital. Look at you guys, you're old but still in the same class with the younger ones. Isn't that shameful?"
The people around burst into laughter again, but they looked much friendlier towards Chen Xia.
Seeing that there were no seats left in the front, Chen Xia walked to the back of the classroom. There was only one empty seat, so he sat down. At the same time, he glanced at the new classmates around him and found that they were all much older than him.
No, there is a little girl next to him who looks about 20 years old.
"Hello, my name is Chen Xia, and I'm from Yuezhou Fourth Hospital." Chen Xia took the initiative to greet the girl of the same age.
The little girl blushed instantly, lowered her head and said softly, "Hello, my name is Yang Haojie, and I work at Dongcheng District People's Hospital."
Just when Chen Xia was about to "tease" the shy little girl, a few people walked in from outside. They looked like teachers or leaders. One of them Chen Xia had met before. She was the female teacher when he registered.
When the female teacher came in, she clapped her hands:
"Everyone, please be quiet. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Jin Jiexiu, and I'm your homeroom teacher. I'll be presiding over the opening ceremony of the 81st clinical major class. Now, please allow Vice President Zhang to speak."
The leaders' speeches are often mostly nonsense, but there is one thing that the leaders made very clear: this correspondence course adopts a lenient admission and strict graduation policy, so if you want to graduate, you must cheer up.
Especially when he said that if you fail one course in the exam, you will not be issued a certificate of completion, which made everyone feel a little nervous.
