Chapter 29 Gu Baobao Becomes Famous in One Battle
This scene, witnessed by Lu Zhanming who had been silently observing from the side, evoked mixed feelings in him.
Watching Gu Dongguo's rough, large hands cup the little girl's delicate face, watching her forced pout of her bright red lips, watching her adorable, pouty yet helpless expression...
Lu Zhanming felt a strange, bittersweet feeling growing wildly in his heart, almost bursting out of his chest.
He squeezed his uninjured hand; his knuckles were white.
Why could Gu Dongguo touch her so naturally?
Even if he is her brother... it won't work.
Especially when she heard Gu Dongguo affectionately call her "baby," and the little girl responded as if it were commonplace, the sour feeling reached its peak.
How can this name be so easy for others to pronounce?
Almost instinctively, he took a step forward, his figure looming over Gu Baobao, who was squatting, and Gu Dongguo, who was sitting.
He lowered his head, his gaze falling on Gu Baobao's still slightly sullen profile. There were still a few faint, unsightly red marks on the side where Gu Dongguo had pinched her earlier, standing out starkly against her dazzlingly white skin.
Lu Zhanming's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
"Gu..."
He spoke, his voice lower than usual, tinged with hesitation, but he finally uttered the name that had lingered in his heart for so long.
"Baby?"
Gu Baobao looked up at the sound and met Lu Zhanming's deep and focused eyes.
Hearing him call her by her nickname in that deep, magnetic voice, for some reason, her face flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Her name is indeed Bao Bao, but being called that by such a handsome and imposing man whom she doesn't know very well... it just feels a bit too intimate.
"Comrade Lu..."
She responded softly, two faint blushes rising uncontrollably to her cheeks. She quickly looked away, stood up, and discreetly pushed Gu Dongguo's wheelchair.
"Brother, let's go back to the ward. You should rest."
Lu Zhanming took in her momentary shyness and evasiveness, and the inexplicable restlessness in his heart was strangely soothed, even giving rise to a faint sense of pleasure.
He didn't say anything more, but simply walked naturally to the other side of the wheelchair, and together with Gu Baobao, escorted Gu Dongguo, who still wanted to watch the excitement, towards the ward.
Zhang Yunxiang stood behind, stroking his chin, watching the family of three leave in harmony.
Especially Lu Zhanming's seemingly calm but actually turbulent profile, and Gu Baobao's slightly red ear tips, with a fatherly smile of satisfaction and gossip on his face.
There's hope!
There's definitely a chance!
When this cycad blooms, it makes quite a commotion!
He had to quickly report the situation here in detail to his old commander!
Double happiness!
The talent was retained, and the old leader's granddaughter-in-law was also settled!
After seeing Gu Baobao off, the group of experts immediately surged into the dean's office as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
"Meeting! Call a meeting immediately!"
"Let's investigate how to apply for a special medical practice license for Comrade Gu Baobao!"
"We need to figure out how to get the best treatment and conditions for her; we must keep her within our hospital system!"
"Submit a report to the Provincial Health Department and the Military Region Health Department immediately! And do it quickly!"
The small dean's office instantly turned into a vegetable market.
The usually calm and composed senior experts were now arguing heatedly, their faces flushed, banging on the table, and glaring at each other, almost coming to blows, all in an effort to save Gu Baobao, this medical gem.
Finally, through Dean Zhou Mingren's coordination and mediation, a preliminary consensus was reached:
Led by the Island Military Region Hospital, and in conjunction with several authoritative experts from the Military Region General Hospital and the Provincial People's Hospital, a special review committee was formed to conduct a special talent qualification assessment for Comrade Gu Baobao.
What are the assessment criteria?
Needless to say, we'll use today's surgery as a model for theoretical defense and simulated practical evaluation.
To put it bluntly, it's just a formality; we just need to legitimately and officially send the qualification certificate to her!
At the same time, we submitted a report to our superiors as quickly as possible, requesting that Gu Baobao be specially recruited into the military hospital system as a specially needed talent, and given corresponding professional titles and benefits.
This process may take a little longer, but the certification must be obtained immediately!
The news spread like wildfire, not only within the hospital and expert circles, but also through Zhang Yunxiang's reporting channels, reaching even higher levels.
Such a young talent with miraculous medical skills, capable of saving the life of a national treasure-level expert!
The attitude above is very clear:
We will spare no expense to retain talent!
Protect!
nourish!
If she is willing, she can join the military region system and be given the best protection and support!
For a time, the name Gu Baobao became well-known in certain levels of the medical system and military departments in Donghai Province.
On the other hand, the various legends about Gu Baobao also spread as the young officers who had witnessed or heard about them returned to their post that afternoon.
It spread wildly among the vast number of single men in the military region and some non-single but gossipy circles in an even more exaggerated and fantastical way.
