Chapter 259: Stand Alone
The registration slips in their hands had the names "Zhou Lulu" or "Zhou Juanjuan" written on them.
Two years ago, Ruan Chuxia began to intentionally reduce the number of patients she saw.
Spend more time and energy on teaching and management.
Zhou Lulu and the new arrival Zhou Juanjuan got the hang of it.
Now, both of them are able to stand on their own.
They also have many old patients who are familiar faces.
These patients trust them, are willing to return for regular visits, and even actively recommend them to relatives and friends.
Word of mouth accumulates bit by bit.
Ruan Chuxia took out the resignation letter she had written long ago from her pocket.
Go straight to the dean's office.
She finally unloaded the huge stone that had been weighing on her shoulders for years, and she felt much more relaxed.
"Have you really thought it through?"
Dean Huang took the letter with neat and vigorous handwriting.
His eyes fell seriously on Ruan Chuxia's face, and his tone was filled with some reluctance and concern.
Ruan Chuxia nodded.
The scene before her was exactly the ideal ending in her mind.
The department is now thriving, new staff are able to take on important responsibilities, patient satisfaction is high, and medical quality is steadily improving.
She could leave with peace of mind and without any worries.
Dean Huang sighed, and finally couldn't help but want to persuade him.
"Xiao Ruan, why don't you reconsider? We support your desire to venture out, but you don't necessarily have to quit completely. You could apply for unpaid leave. Your salary would be temporarily suspended, but your position would remain. If things don't go well outside, you can come back and have a way out."
He paused, his tone more sincere.
"Besides, how can a job like ours be as secure out there? A little over a hundred a month might not sound like much, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it's a job that many people would be vying for. You're a girl, going it alone, and the risks are considerable. Don't act on impulse, or you'll regret it later."
Ruan Chuxia understood that Dean Huang said this not only because of the high benefits she had brought to the unit in recent years.
She sees many patients and has a good reputation for her medical skills.
He also brought out two capable assistants.
The department's overall performance has been improving year after year, so the unit is reluctant to let her go.
But more importantly, Dean Huang treated her like his own child.
When she first asked Xiao Zhiyu to resign.
Even Xiao Zhiyu, who always supported her, was shocked.
"Xiao Xia, are you kidding me? I know you're capable and ambitious, but if you go and get involved in all this, who can say for sure what the outcome will be? You're a doctor, and you could be living a peaceful life, but you insist on getting involved in these unrealistic things. What's the point? What if you have to go back to work after all this? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"
At that time, everyone pursued stability, work was assigned, and life went on as planned.
For most people, going into business is still a new term, and it is even called "speculation and profiteering" with a somewhat derogatory meaning.
When people talk about "self-employed individuals", they often frown and shake their heads.
But Ruan Chuxia knew that in a few years, this trend would become stronger and stronger.
By the time everyone follows suit, the opportunities are already gone.
If she didn't hold on tight, when the tide receded, all that would be left would be footprints on the beach.
She wanted to be the first one to reach out.
In her previous life, she had tried her best and finally gained a place in the tide of the times.
The road was difficult, and every step was marked by blood and tears.
In this life, she was reborn, bringing with her not only the memories of her previous life.
They also have knowledge and advantages that surpass ordinary people.
She knows the future better than anyone else.
I also understand better than anyone the value of opportunity.
She has experience, preparation, and confidence.
She explained the pros and cons to Xiao Zhiyu one by one, from policy direction to market demand, from fund preparation to risk planning, every link was clear and well-reasoned.
She spoke seriously, her eyes revealing unquestionable determination.
Xiao Zhiyu sat behind his desk, listening very attentively.
He didn't interrupt her, but just listened quietly.
When she finished speaking, the whole office fell into a long silence.
He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then said only one sentence.
"Okay, go ahead. If you hit a wall, remember to turn back. I'm always here."
The news that Ruan Chuxia was leaving spread throughout the infirmary like the wind.
Some were shocked, some felt sorry, and some were puzzled.
Even the patient who was changing the dressing asked curiously: "Is Dr. Ruan going to be transferred?"
The first person who rushed over to ask her was Zhou Lulu.
She almost ran into Ruan Chuxia's office.
"Sister Xia, did someone upset you? Did Director Yang give you a hard time again? Or did a patient act unreasonably and bully you? Tell me her name, and I'll go get her right away!"
Ruan Chuxia was sorting out documents with her head down.
Seeing Zhou Lulu's indignant look, I couldn't help but laugh.
She looked at her softly.
"What are you thinking about? No one is bullying me. I'm fine and in a good mood."
Zhou Lulu opened her mouth, and her whole body instantly wilted.
She scratched her head and her voice became quieter.
"Then... then why did you suddenly say you wanted to leave? I, I was so panicked just now... I thought you were wronged and didn't want to work anymore..."
"Then... Sister Xia, why are you leaving?"
She stamped her feet anxiously, and a thin layer of mist appeared in her eyes.
"We're doing so well here now. We have more and more patients, the equipment is newer, and you've trained several new people. Everyone's counting on you! What will we do if you leave?"
Ruan Chuxia felt her heart soften when she saw her anxious look on the verge of tears.
She stood up and gently tugged at her sleeve.
"Come on, stop making noise here, let's go sit in the corridor for a while."
She took Zhou Lulu to the bench at the end of the corridor and sat down.
Ruan Chuxia looked out the window quietly.
"Xiaoling."
She finally spoke.
"Do you still remember when you first came to the infirmary, stood in front of me, and asked me with a confused look on your face why you had to be a doctor here and not go to a big hospital or be a leisurely health care doctor? What was my answer?"
Zhou Lulu was stunned and tried hard to recall.
She closed her eyes, trying to search her memory, and suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"I remember now! You said... you said you wanted to change your destiny. You said you didn't want to be looked down upon forever, nor did you want to live so passively, so you had to take control of your own direction."
"Yes, change your destiny."
Ruan Chuxia said softly, but her eyes became more determined.
"In my previous life, it took me more than ten years to understand this truth. In this life, I woke up early. And now, the opportunity has come again, this is the second time. I can't wait any longer."
Zhou Lulu is not a stupid person.
After hearing what she said, and thinking about her recent actions.
She opened her eyes suddenly as if struck by lightning.
"You...you want to go into business? Are you really planning to quit your job and start your own business?"
Ruan Chuxia did not deny it, but just nodded quietly.
Zhou Lulu was completely stunned.
"So what are you going to do? Sell clothes? Open a restaurant? Or trade in electronics?"
She originally thought that Ruan Chuxia wanted to open a small restaurant or a clothing store, which would be a side job at best.
But from what she just said and her demeanor, it was clear that she had bigger plans.
