Chapter 23 Are you interested in transferring to orthopedics?
Su Wanwan returned to work after a four-day break. Nan Sisi greeted her as if she were her benefactor, saying, "I missed you so much! Without you, I don't even have anyone to eat with."
"I find that hard to believe," Su Wanwan said as she returned to her seat. "Isn't Dr. Chen from the proctology department pursuing you?" Su Wanwan wasn't one to gossip, but that didn't mean she didn't know.
Even if she doesn't want to listen, the gossip can spread like wildfire during surgery, even reaching the neighboring hospital.
There are no secrets in a hospital.
If so, it's because the event happened too soon and hasn't had time to spread.
Nan Sisi gave Su Wanwan a resentful look, "You heartless bastard, I'm thinking about you, but you're thinking about pushing me to someone else."
"I will never abandon you," Su Wanwan replied earnestly after thinking for a moment.
"I knew you were the best to me." Nan Sisi leaned over and took Su Wanwan's hand, deeply moved.
Director Chen walked in at this moment, saying, "Those who are still loyal and devoted, come over and join the meeting."
This meeting was held together with other departments.
The atmosphere was clearly quite tense.
Except for the orthopedics department, where the department head was away on an exchange program and the deputy director Huo Chulan was in charge, all the other departments had their heads mobilized.
Nan Sisi quickly explained the situation to Su Wanwan.
This morning, a serious traffic accident occurred near the Second Affiliated Primary School of South Campus. A primary school student was walking on the sidewalk when he was hit by a speeding car and then crashed into a roadside pillar. He suffered multiple fractures, kidney contusion, and liver contusion, which is very serious.
The worst part is that this child has congenital heart disease, and the violent impact caused excessive stimulation to the heart.
When the patient arrived, just as the saying goes in the emergency room, the patient was quite calm.
We are currently discussing emergency surgery options.
There is no other way to treat such severe damage except through joint efforts from all departments.
Newcomers like Su Wanwan could only listen to the big shots speak from below.
Su Wanwan hadn't expected that Huo Chulan was truly capable to have risen to the position of deputy director.
The experts quickly finalized the surgical plan.
As she walked out of the conference room, Nan Sisi whispered, "Finally, I can see the orthopedic surgeon's operation."
Su Wanwan patted her, "Don't forget, you're someone outside my heart."
"Mainly because Dr. Huo is handsome." Nan Si rarely gushed over him. "If Dr. Huo were to pursue me, it would be the second time my ancestors' graves would emit auspicious smoke."
"The second time?"
“The first time was when I got into medical school and successfully entered Anxin Hospital,” Nan Si said matter-of-factly. “I can still tell which is more important, career or love.”
Su Wanwan thought of Huo Chulan's aloof face and couldn't help but shudder. She could only say to Nan Sisi, "Good luck."
Anyway, she couldn't live with such a cold person.
The surgery was very complicated; it started at nine in the morning and didn't end until six in the afternoon.
Su Wanwan had other things to do and couldn't watch the whole thing.
She has another surgery.
Only after the cardiac surgery was completed could the orthopedics department proceed.
When she came out after finishing writing the medical record, she saw Huo Chulan leaning against the operating room door, rubbing her forehead with one hand.
As the deputy director, Su Wanwan couldn't pretend she didn't see him, so she asked, "Dr. Huo, are you alright?"
Huo Chulan looked up at Su Wanwan, her face pale, and said, "Not good."
"..."
Isn't normal polite etiquette just "okay"?
"Is there anything to eat?"
Since her boss had spoken, Su Wanwan felt embarrassed to say no. "Yes, I just ordered takeout. I ordered quite a lot."
Their jobs meant it was hard to be on time for the canteen, so Su Wanwan usually ordered takeout.
We ordered from the seafood restaurant nearby.
The owner of that restaurant had some connections with the Su family, and specifically instructed them to keep it clean, hygienic, and nutritious. Su Wanwan didn't skimp on her meals.
"Okay, thank you." Huo Chulan replied without hesitation.
"Then I'll go get the takeout first."
“I’ll go with you,” Huo Chulan said, perking up. “It wouldn’t be right to just eat and not do any work.”
Outside the door, the restaurant's deliveryman had already brought it over.
Two large portions.
The other people in the department saw the two of them eating and reacted as if they'd seen a ghost. They had just come in when someone else had to leave.
Su Wanwan roared inwardly: These heartless people!
Nan Sisi left work on time today.
Huo Chulan glanced at the door and asked, "Is Dr. Su afraid to have dinner with me?"
"No, of course not." Su Wanwan said firmly, "This opportunity to communicate face-to-face with Director Huo is not something that comes often."
Huo Chulan chuckled softly, her pale face regaining some color perhaps from the meal. "To thank you for the meal, we can exchange ideas more often in the future."
Su Wanwan took it as just a polite remark.
Orthopedics doctors don't need to communicate much with cardiac surgeons.
The next second, Huo Chulan asked, "Are you interested in transferring to the orthopedics department?"
Su Wanwan: "..."
There's really no need for that.
I was lucky tonight. Except for one patient who suddenly experienced chest tightness in the middle of the night, I slept soundly through the night until dawn.
Su Wanwan slept almost a full night, which was rare for her.
When I left the hospital after finishing my night shift, even the sun seemed a little warmer.
If Chen Heting hadn't been seen holding the takeout box.
Su Wanwan: "..."
No, is it really worth following this so closely?
It was the peak time for hospital commuters, and there were quite a few doctors coming and going.
Su Wanwan felt utterly hopeless.
Chen Heting handed her the things he was carrying, saying, "I know you're busy, so I only brought you breakfast. I'm going to work soon too."
"Actually, you didn't need to make this trip."
“But I want to leave,” Chen Heting said with a smile.
"Are you in a hurry to get to work? How about we take a walk?" Su Wanwan said suddenly as she reluctantly took the breakfast.
Chen Heting's eyes lit up, then dimmed again as if he had thought of something. He smiled wryly and said, "Is he going to give me a friend card?"
After taking a few steps away from the center of gossip, Su Wanwan got straight to the point: "We're not a good match."
There's no need to waste time on a rich kid or a high-ranking official like him.
That's too much of a sin.
Moreover, since his mother was the supervisor, Su Wanwan didn't want her career to face another challenge.
"You've never given me a chance, so how do you know if we're compatible?" Chen Heting's eyes lowered. "Is it because of my parents?"
“Your mother dislikes me very much, and there’s no way to change that. I don’t want to, and I don’t have the time to, try to please your parents. We’re not a good match,” Su Wanwan said bluntly.
"You brought up that bride price on purpose, didn't you? Just so my mom wouldn't have a good impression of you from the start." Chen Heting wasn't stupid; if Su Wanwan really had feelings for him, she wouldn't have done that in the first place.
“No, that’s not it,” Su Wanwan said seriously. “My parents have raised me like a precious gem for so many years. If they can’t even give me this much dowry, they will worry that I won’t have a good life in the future.”
