Chapter 147: [147] Suddenly very popular
“Quick, give us your number.”
The one who interjected was Doctor Jiang.
Xie Wanying hadn’t expected the news to spread so fast; how did everyone know she had a mobile phone now?
As they were all seniors at the hospital, she wasn’t in a position to refuse. So it wasn’t long before her phone’s contact list went from having just family and childhood friends to nearly a hundred new contacts.
Among these new additions were nurse sisters, clinical teachers, and other medical students who had heard the news and come over.
Good doctors, good students, good classmates—whose number wouldn’t one want to add?
Huang Zhilei arrived at the emergency room and immediately realized something was amiss when he saw his junior sister surrounded by a crowd.
He pushed through the crowd to pull his junior sister aside and said to her, “Add mine and Senior Cao’s first.”
Xie Wanying nodded and hastily added the numbers of her seniors.
Xie Wanying turned around to see Zhao Zhaowei and a few others.
Some of their classmates who had been scheduled for night shifts had come by to see her before work, all aware of the day’s big news.
“You haven’t been on Q,” Zhao Zhaowei mentioned her absence from the class report.
“I was busy today and didn’t have time to switch on the computer,” Xie Wanying explained to her classmates.
“If you agree, I’ll share your mobile number with them on Q,” Zhao Zhaowei offered.
Xie Wanying didn’t mind letting the other classmates know and nodded.
Zhao Zhaowei, Feng Yicong, and a few others immediately added her mobile number right there and then.
Indeed, most of the boys in their class already had mobile phones. Even those from less well-off families had their parents save up to buy them one. In fact, Sun Rongfang had wanted to buy her daughter a mobile phone long ago. The problem was that Xie Wanying didn’t want one.
There was no need for a mobile phone during her studies at the medical school. Although the phone might not be expensive, the cost of the phone bills was.
At her current stage as an intern, she was only observing clinical work and wouldn’t even be performing procedures on her own, so there was no necessity for a mobile phone. Her seniors thought the same. It was just that the reward from Guoneng Group was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“Old Lin, she has a mobile phone now, are you going to add her?” Doctor Jiang informed Doctor Lin as he arrived for his shift.
Doctor Lin came over in a few steps, ready to exchange mobile numbers with Xie Wanying, when a voice called from behind, “Doctor Lin.”
The voice belonged to Zhang Xiaohui.
As if he hadn’t heard her, Doctor Lin first walked up to Xie Wanying to exchange mobile numbers.
Zhang Xiaohui was taken aback when Doctor Lin didn’t respond to her call; this had never been his attitude towards her before.
She then saw a crowd gathering around Xie Wanying, exchanging numbers. Xie Wanying suddenly became the spotlight on the stage. Such scenes were often Zhang Xiaohui’s exclusive honor; when had the protagonist changed?
“Xiao Hui, could she be behind this?” Huang Beibei wondered aloud from behind her.
“Right. Otherwise, why would Guoneng Group reward her instead of you? You were the one who retrieved the patient in the ambulance during the emergency; shouldn’t you get the credit for saving the patient instead of her?” Shen Xifei was equally suspicious, feeling that the whole thing sounded odd and against common sense.
“Did she say something bad about you to Doctor Lin, and that’s why he’s ignoring you?” Huang Beibei asked.
Zhang Xiaohui couldn’t believe that Doctor Lin was ignoring her; after all, they worked in the same department, and he wouldn’t dare treat her that way. She walked over to Doctor Lin and continued, “Doctor Lin, I would like to take a look at that medical record of Liu Yu.”
Liu Yu being Father Liu.
Oh, finally she remembered to fill in the medical record properly.
