Chapter 30 Encounter
The unlucky one in the first round was Luo Zixi. Ji Hong asked sharply, "Is there anyone you like?"
Luo Zixi was fine originally, but when everyone coaxed her, her face suddenly turned red. She glanced at Zhou Jingzhan quickly and said, "Yes."
At this time, a playful intern asked again: "Who is it? Are you from our department?"
Zhou Jingzhan had some impression of him. His name seemed to be Wang Bin. He was the one who didn't even have a minute to change his clothes when Ding Xinye came to check on him.
Since they had agreed to only ask one question, Luo Zixi naturally didn't answer.
The second person to spin the bottle was Wang Bin. Everyone at the table stared at the bottle, and finally the bottle mouth slowly stopped and aimed at Zhou Jingzhan.
“…” The box suddenly fell silent.
Wang Bin's hand also stopped in mid-air, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Zhou Jingzhan glanced at him and said lightly, "Ask."
The sound frightened Wang Bin so much that his hands trembled. He forced a smile and said, "Um... I just arrived and don't understand the situation. It's better for you to ask, Brother Ji. You are the birthday boy."
Ji Hong was eager for this, and under everyone's expectant gaze, he asked, "Tell me five good qualities of yourself or Professor Chu."
This wasn't a multiple-choice question at all, because Zhou Jingzhan couldn't possibly say anything about himself, so everyone was waiting for Director Zhou, who couldn't praise anyone but could only criticize them, to praise Chu Yunqi in various ways.
Zhou Jingzhan blurted out: "Good medical skills, handsome, sincere, knowledgeable, second."
When Zhou Jingzhan talked about the last part, he even laughed. When he smiled, all the men and women in the room fell for him. It was so gentle that the ice beauty melted away! ! ! !
For a moment, Ji Hong, who was so straight that he couldn't be any straighter, was moved. He coughed twice to hide his feelings: "Come on, you guys, stop acting like you've never seen a man before."
While others were infatuated, only Taozi raised a question: "Stop, stop, stop, is being two considered an advantage?"
Wang Bin retorted: "That's called seeing things in the eyes of the beholder..."
Wang Bin realized that something was wrong when he was almost done speaking, and he buried his head in regret. He didn't need to say anything, because after the two things just now, everyone started to silently support the couple in their hearts.
Zhou Jingzhan is in Mercury retrograde today, and it is his turn again when Ji Hong turns for the second time.
Ji Hong had drunk a bit too much and had forgotten about the gossip he wanted to hear. He only asked serious questions: "The old director of the department often said that you are the most sober and rational doctor they have ever met. I haven't seen you shed a tear in all these years. I don't believe that anyone is born so cold-blooded. So why is that?"
More than twenty eyes turned to Zhou Jingzhan again. Zhou Jingzhan made sure that there was nothing wrong with what he said before he spoke: "When I was an intern at the hospital in college, it was Teacher Ding who took me in. At that time, he was still the director of the department. One time, he took me to the countryside to visit a patient he had cared for for many years. He had undergone a mediastinal tumor resection and had been suffering from chest pain after the thoracotomy. Because he could not bear the physical and psychological pressure brought by the chest pain, he committed suicide by cutting his wrists the day before Teacher Ding took me to see him. Afterwards, the family members attributed all the responsibility to Teacher Ding. In their excitement, they even injured Teacher Ding with a kitchen knife. After he recovered from his injuries, he did not pursue the responsibility of the family members, but resigned as the director of the department."
"Although thoracoscopic surgery is common now, the technology wasn't widely available back then. Dr. Ding wasn't responsible for the patient's chest pain. His kindness and dedication led the patient's family to believe he was guilty, leading to the tragedy that followed. That's when I started to feel resentful towards the patient's family."
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and the scene became like a memorial service.
While they were toasting, Xia Baiming and Lu Wenning were playing a game of tortoise in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel. At around ten o'clock, Lu Wenning said, "It's getting dark. We should probably bring him back soon. He looks like he could get into trouble at night."
Xia Baiming agreed, but when they arrived at the youth hostel, they found that there was no one there. The two of them became anxious and called Zhou Jingzhan like headless flies.
Zhou Jingzhan left the box and stayed outside to get some fresh air. "If you two drop him off on the road and call me, where can I find him?"
Lu Wen Ning knew he was in the wrong: "Don't we know we're in the wrong? Tell us where he went."
"He and I are over 3,000 kilometers apart, and he doesn't have a cell phone. How can I know where he is?"
Seeing that Zhou Jingzhan was unreliable, Xia Baiming turned around in circles. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure in the 24-hour fast food restaurant behind him. It was Chu Yunqi.
Xia Baiming pulled Lu Wen Ning inside and stood in front of Chu Yunqi, persuading him, "Shall we go back to the hotel together?"
Chu Yunqi glanced at them, still angry. His pleasant journey ended before it even began. Who wouldn't be angry? "I won't go back."
After five minutes of coaxing and cajoling, Chu Yunqi still didn't give in. Xia Baiming winked at Lu Wen Ning, who understood and took advantage of Chu Yunqi's unpreparedness to pick him up by the waist and walked out.
"You lunatic, I can walk by myself, put me down!" Chu Yunqi felt very embarrassed to be held by him, and finally he was forced to agree to go back with Lu Wen Ning before he put him down.
On the other side, when Zhou Jingzhan was about to return to the box, he ran into his parents at the stairs.
Zhou Jingzhan's first reaction was to move away from them, but unfortunately he had already been seen by his mother. Qin Huiping called him, "Baby."
"Hey, Mom." Zhou Jingzhan turned his head and smiled sweetly.
Qin Huiping didn't seem to care about why her son was here. She was only concerned about his relationship problems. "How have you been lately? Have you made any progress with Yunqi? I heard he also came to your hospital."
"My relationship with him ended a long time ago, so how can there be any progress?" Zhou Jingzhan had a very negative attitude towards this matter.
Before Qin Huiping could offer any advice, Zhou Wenxuan offered his experience: "You can always start over after you finish. Let me tell you, chasing boys and girls is a routine. You must be patient, and you must not be too embarrassed. Don't lose face. It is necessary to give small gifts from time to time, eat out, go shopping, and take a walk. You should learn from this."
Zhou Jingzhan had a headache, feeling that except for him, everyone in his family was an actor. They all acted more serious than each other in front of the camera and reporters, but they were not very serious in private.
"Director Zhou." Ji Hong's voice came from behind.
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over. When Zhou Jingzhan was panicking, Ji Hong was already standing next to him.
Ji Hong had drunk a lot of alcohol, and his mind was dizzy and his reaction was slow. After gradually seeing the two people standing opposite him, he suddenly woke up, opened his eyes wide in horror, and was speechless. He had just learned about some national affairs from these two people on the news half an hour ago.
Zhou Jingzhan had never liked new environments or interacting with people he didn't know well. Suddenly, when she saw his new friend, Qin Huiping was incredibly enthusiastic: "Are you Jingzhan's colleague?"
The person who he could only see on the news was suddenly standing in front of him and talking to him. Ji Hong couldn't calm down for a long time and finally managed to say "yes".
