After successfully completing their leave at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the two said goodbye to President Guo and drove to the Medical University. However, they arrived at the wrong time as President Xu was on a business trip and was not at the school, so they returned empty-handed.
"Are you still going to the West City First Hospital?" Yan Rushan asked sideways while sitting in the driver's seat.
Zhong Yuxiu pondered for a moment and nodded, "Let's go."
"Then go."
We drove to the First Hospital in the West City. Big hospitals are never short of patients, and this was also the case with the First Hospital in the West City. At this moment, people were coming and going at the door, some were smiling, some were frowning, and all kinds of things in the world were presented before our eyes.
The car was parked outside the hospital. There was no parking lot at that time, so we just found a random place to park it.
"Yuxiu, we're here, get off the car." Yan Rushan opened the door and got out of the car, turning around and speaking to Zhong Yuxiu who was resting with her eyes closed.
Yuxiu opened her eyes, took a look outside, unbuckled her seat belt, pushed the door open and walked out.
"There are a lot of people in the hospital and it looks very busy. Why don't you come back in the afternoon?" The morning is usually the peak busy time in the hospital, and the afternoon is slightly better.
"No, today is Monday, it's normal for the hospital to be a little busy." After a day off on Sunday, with the accumulation of patients, it is inevitable that the hospital will be a little busy.
Yan Rushan stopped talking and walked into the hospital with her. Today, Zhong Yuxiu was wearing a beige wool coat, a high-necked cashmere sweater underneath, matching flared trousers, and low-top black leather shoes. This outfit was quite versatile.
But, it is very fashionable to wear these days.
Furthermore, Zhong Yuxiu exudes a noble, confident, and proud aura, and her tall stature adds a lot to the outfit; people say clothes make the man, and Zhong Yuxiu's look is the opposite. She isn't particularly beautiful, being above average, but she possesses a certain elegance that few possess.
Many people turned their heads to look, some even stopping to stare. Equally striking was Yan Rushan, whose towering figure made Zhong Yuxiu barely reach his chest. The two walked together, Yan Rushan in a gray woolen coat, suit trousers, and black leather shoes. They looked a perfect match.
I went all the way up to the third floor and arrived outside the dean's office, only to see the dean receiving guests.
The hospital director looked up and was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhong Yuxiu. Then, a smile spread across his face. "Comrade Zhong, why are you here? Did you give birth? You seem to be recovering well."
"Thanks to the director, I had a safe delivery and came here to take my leave after my confinement. Please continue to entertain the guests and I will come back later."
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. You're just in time to come in and have a seat. These two are top students recruited from abroad. They're in the surgery department. You'll be colleagues in the future." The director of the First Hospital of the City West, with a wrinkled face and a warm smile, stood up and welcomed them in. "Take a seat."
Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan nodded and sat down on the empty rattan chairs. Only then did they have time to look at the two top students in the office. Both of them were men, wearing Zhongshan suits, and looked to be in their early thirties.
In recent years, there have indeed been students going abroad for further studies, but I don’t know whether they were abroad before or went abroad in recent years.
The two men glanced at Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan, and they had very good temperaments; but they did not take them seriously. They felt a little uncomfortable and contemptuous of their stares.
The director of the First Chengxi Hospital introduced them, "This is Dr. Zhong from our hospital. She specializes in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but she also has experience in other disciplines. Her skills are exceptional. So far, there hasn't been a case she couldn't cure. Furthermore, her invention of our country's newly developed, universally applicable repair fluid is the work of her."
The two men paused and restrained their contempt.
"Doctor Zhong, these two are surgeons who have just been hired back from abroad, Ji Liangcai and Liang Mingke; the chief surgeon, we spent a lot of effort to recruit them." The director of the First Hospital in the West City was named Zhang. He was not greatly implicated during the turbulent period; he had always stayed in Beijing, so he was in good health, unlike her teachers who were in weak condition.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded to the two of them and said, "Hello, welcome back to contribute to the country."
"As it should be. We are the people of our motherland in life and the ghosts of our motherland in death. We have heard of Dr. Zhong's name for a long time. Your repair fluid is very good and cannot be bought abroad." The speaker was a tall and thin doctor. According to Dean Zhang's introduction just now, his name was Ji Liangcai.
Zhong Yuxiu did not miss the scrutiny in his eyes. The contempt in his eyes was not as strong as before, but it still existed.
"You have a high level of awareness."
Ji Liangcai and Liang Mingke frowned at the calm comment. After they returned from completing their studies, they were admired, but no one had been as cold to them as the woman in front of them.
Dean Zhang chuckled. "That's because you're highly conscious! I, an old man, am delighted that you two are willing to return to build our country. If you have any questions, you can ask Dr. Zhong. Her teacher was President Xu of the Medical University, so she has had some contact with surgery."
"Okay, Dean Zhang, we also want to see Dr. Zhong's medical skills." Liang Mingke raised the corner of his lips and looked at him with a half-smile.
"We will work together in the future, and there will be many opportunities for us to see each other. Dean Zhang, I am here to report for leave today. Do you think you can rearrange my position?" Dean Zhang's words that they would work together in the future explained everything. Zhong Yuxiu would no longer consider whether to leave or not.
"Your position does need to be rearranged. Your teacher plans to complete the retirement procedures and step down from his position as Director of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We were originally considering other suitable candidates, but since you're back, you're the one taking over. Do you have any objections?"
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head. "No, I just got back, so I might be a little busy. I'll try to find time to come to the hospital to work. My office won't change, right?"
"You move to your teacher's office." Dean Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. Traditional Chinese medicine has been hit so hard that there are only a few people skilled in it. Fortunately, there is someone who can take over. Otherwise, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the First Hospital in the West City will face the situation of no one to deploy.
"I understand. I'll go clear out my office now and put my things in the teacher's office. I'll share an office with the teacher temporarily so that he can take care of me."
Dean Zhang narrowed his eyes in a smile. "That's great! These two haven't found a suitable office yet. Once your office is vacant, they can use it first."
"Okay, I'll be leaving first. You can chat with the two top students."
Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan stood up and left the dean's office, showing little interest in the two top students. Yan Rushan, however, looked at them a few more times, glanced at them meaningfully, and then followed Yuxiu.
I walked to the office, took out the key and opened the door; because no one had been there for several months, a layer of dust had accumulated in the office.
“It’s so dirty.”
"Take the things you want to move away and ask someone to come and clean up." Yan Rushan had no intention of doing it himself, nor did he intend to let his wife do it.
