With Su Xingran's consent, Principal Wu and Teacher Gu Zhang left the Huang family satisfied. Su Xingran thought she should send a telegram back to her parents to tell them about her plans.
On the third day, Huang Zhenhua and Gu Zhang took Su Xingran to visit the female doctor. When they arrived, Gu Zhang knocked on the door, and a short-haired woman in her fifties answered.
Su Xingran, carrying the gifts, followed the two elders into the house. Inside, the short-haired woman greeted Huang Zhenhua and the others. "Hello, Dr. Huang, Teacher Gu, and hello to Comrade Su."
Huang Zhenhua nodded. "Hello, Xiao Shen." After greeting her, Huang Zhenhua turned to Su Xingran and said, "Xingran, this is Dr. Shen Qiu. You can call her Dr. Shen or Aunt Shen, it's fine."
Su Xingran placed the gift on the table. "Hello Aunt Chen, my name is Su Xingran. I'll be troubling you now."
Shen Qiu waved his hand, "I'll call you Xingran from now on, no need to bother. Your teacher's wife used to guide me, she's my teacher. Doctor Huang and Teacher Gu told me about your situation, and they've also spoken with the dean."
"And your exam paper, the hospital director, other hospital leaders, and I have all seen it. The score was good, and you passed the hospital's assessment."
"Come to the hospital to see me next Monday morning. I'll arrange for you to complete the necessary procedures. Once that's done, you can officially start your internship with me!"
Su Xingran only now realized that the test she took in the principal's office that day was actually an evaluation test from the hospital.
The three of them sat with Dr. Shen Qiu for about two hours. When it was almost time, Huang Zhenhua said goodbye to Shen Qiu. After returning home, Huang Zhenhua told Su Xingran about Shen Qiu's situation.
Huang Zhenhua and Su Xingran sat in the living room of their home. "Xingran, Xiao Shen lives alone. Sigh! She was suspended from her job and demoted. Her husband divorced her, and her child cut off all ties with her. She even asked her parents to cut off their relationship with her."
"She was brought back by her superiors when the college entrance examination was reinstated last year. Under their arrangement, she took a position at a military hospital at the beginning of this year."
"When Xiao Shen was young, he studied under your teacher's wife for a period of time. Xiao Shen is a very upright person, but he has experienced some things that have changed his mindset. If there is anything you don't understand, you should humbly ask her for advice."
Su Xingran understood what her master meant. "Master, I understand. Don't worry, I will study diligently under Aunt Shen's guidance."
Huang Zhenhua knew his apprentice was a perceptive person. Having experienced harsh reality and betrayal from loved ones, Xiao Shen was bound to be somewhat sensitive. He worried that Xing Ran might do something wrong that would affect Xiao Shen's emotions.
Lying in bed that night, Su Xingran thought about how she would soon be starting her hospital internship. She knew that the pace of her life in this life was a bit too fast, yet it all seemed to fit her current situation perfectly. Su Xingran wondered if perhaps she hadn't even lived to this point in her previous life. Occasionally, she felt like all of this was just a fantasy.
