This is truly a case of finding something you've been searching for everywhere without even looking for it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!
Although Jiang Yunzhou couldn't translate it, he had connections, so he said this person was a talent!
Before he could even feel happy, he saw Jiang Yunzhou shake his head regretfully: "She was a friend of mine in Shanghai, but she's probably not there anymore, and she's unlikely to come to Beijing. I can't contact her right now."
Liu Hui's bright eyes were shattered again. Could you please stop treating him like this?
First, he was given hope, and then that hope was shattered right before his eyes. His fragile heart really couldn't take such a blow.
"It's a real pity, but Comrade Jiang is also very capable. If there's a chance, I hope to meet your friend. There are still plenty of empty male dormitories in our hospital. When he comes, we can give him a proper welcome."
Qi Zecheng felt that Jiang Yunzhou's description seemed somewhat familiar. He studied medicine abroad, had a strong learning ability, and had traveled to many places. He was also from Shanghai, just like Jiang Yunzhou. Wasn't he just like Shu Ying?
Even the usually carefree Ye Zhanying realized something was amiss. She nudged Qi Zecheng's arm and said, "Don't you think this Comrade Jiang's description matches someone exactly, except for the gender?"
She stared at Jiang Yunzhou from head to toe, feeling that he was a complete stranger. Ye Zhanying was quite certain that she had never met him before, and that he was unlikely to be a mutual friend.
But at this moment, Jiang Yunzhou saw the image of Shu Ying from the past.
They grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were inseparable. Their parents had already crossed paths before they were even born.
Shu Ying was intelligent from a young age, and even before she started school, she showed amazing memory.
Her photographic memory was unmatched; logically, they should have gone to school together and started working together.
However, the two had different ambitions and their family businesses were different. Fortunately, in his second year of studying abroad, he heard from his family that Shu Ying was also studying abroad and that the two happened to be in the same city. He was secretly happy for a long time.
The two met again in the fourth year since they parted. He was eager to study, taking courses on precision instruments, while Shu Ying went to the school to do free medical consultations.
The two had not seen each other for many years, and they were both very happy to meet again.
"You're so smart, you should have studied this. I just didn't expect you to become the youngest master's student. That's great."
In a foreign land, a chance encounter with an old friend stirred up a powerful emotion in Jiang Yunzhou's heart.
Shu Ying is more gentle and intellectual than before, and the soft gaze in her eyes is more firm than before.
She praised his professional skills and commended his personal character without reservation.
In fact, Jiang Yunzhou had long known that she would become an excellent doctor, but he hadn't expected it.
“I thought you would become a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. I’m really surprised that you could leave your uncle and aunt to study on your own.”
At that time, Shu Ying still had a youthful smile on her face. She said, "Medicine should not have national borders. Being closed off from the world will not save people."
The two met briefly and then lost contact with each other again.
When Jiang Yunzhou tried to contact her again, he received no reply. Later, he learned by chance that Shu Ying had returned to China and gotten married.
He originally wanted to come back and see her, at least to see what Shuying's husband looked like and whether he could shoulder such a great responsibility.
However, with his studies demanding, he faced the dilemma of choosing a career path: staying abroad or serving his country.
Both sides were conflicted, and ultimately neither was able to return as hoped.
After he had the opportunity to return to China and work in a military factory, he was busy with the project.
National issues must always take precedence over personal issues. Research and development had reached a critical juncture, with many parties watching closely. They were racing against time and outwitting their enemies, so they were unaware that the world outside had changed.
When he saw the newspaper, he realized the seriousness of the situation. Everyone who went abroad but was not employed by the country was labeled as pro-foreign, and even some important organizations were not spared.
Shu Ying's parents passed away, and Shu Ying had most likely been demoted to a lower-level position. Jiang Yunzhou acted impulsively and almost abandoned the project to go find Shu Ying, but was eventually stopped by Orlov and Novich.
Orlov looked puzzled and confused; he couldn't understand why anyone would abandon their future for a woman.
“Zhou, we all came here following you. We know your ambitions, which is why we are helping your country. This is a crucial moment, and you cannot be a coward who breaks his word.”
Norwich didn't want the relationships between the group to become too strained, but he still chose to side with Orlov.
He shrugged wearily: "Zhou, perhaps that girl is very outstanding, but you once said that she is already married. You know in your heart which is more important. But if you leave now, all your efforts will be in vain."
Their Chinese wasn't standard, but it was a resounding success in Jiang Yunzhou's ears.
Torn between the greater good of the nation and the deep emotions he couldn't let go of, he could only devote all his energy to research and development.
Perhaps, along with the success of his project, the truth also came to light.
After that, Jiang Yunzhou couldn't sleep for half a month. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Shu Ying's bright smile. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the guilt in his heart made him feel suffocated.
Even if he couldn't do anything, at least he knew she was safe. But now he had truly become a coward.
Even at crucial moments when she thinks of Shuying, she has to deliberately avoid the bitterness in her heart.
Whenever he thought of Shu Ying's bright and beautiful eyes, it felt as if someone was cutting his heart with a knife.
Qi Zecheng lowered his voice and walked towards Ye Zhanying: "This is a high-end technical talent who came back from abroad. How could he be like us roughnecks? I think you're just overthinking things. Let's go. There's nothing for us to do here anymore. We'll probably have to increase security tomorrow. Let's think about how to explain this to our superiors."
Just as the two were about to leave, Jiang Yunzhou met Liu Hui's gaze calmly.
"If that day really comes, the boys' dormitory will probably be unnecessary. My very outstanding friend is a woman named Shu Ying."
He spoke with a hint of pride as he uttered that name he held dear.
"If you follow foreign medical newspapers, you may be familiar with her name."
