Chapter 573: [573] Don’t rush. Chapter 573: [573] Don’t rush. Xie Wanying didn’t dare to be certain right away, because where she interned seemed to be decided by the hospital’s medical education department, and the departments had no say in it. So Doctor Jiang from General Surgery Department One had no chance to take her on.
Beep beep beep, Teacher Sun’s call came through.
Xie Wanying loosened her grip on the sleeve of the shirt she was holding and picked up her phone.
Seeing the wrinkled cuff of his shirt that she had pinched, Cao Yong’s eyes flickered with a smile as he walked over to reheat her milk.
“Teacher Sun. I’m sorry, it was the police who asked me not to tell, not that I didn’t want to inform you.”
Sun Yubo scratched his head on the other end of the line, “Teacher Tan said that Dr. Cao went to pick you up, so we didn’t need to go.”
Oh, Teacher Tan knew? Xie Wanying felt a shock inside.
And it wasn’t just that, Tan Kelin saw at the scene that besides him, many others had rushed to ask the dean. His inner world was indescribable, everyone seemed more eager and concerned for his student than he, the mentor teacher, was: Hey now, she is my student now, what are these people rushing for?
Especially Cao Yong, who directly went downstairs, got into his car, and sped off to the city bureau. People said the bond between him and his junior was strong, and now it looked to be true indeed.
“Rest well as usual tomorrow. Teacher Tan said you don’t have to hurry back to work,” Sun Yubo conveyed the teachers’ intentions, who also needed time to calm their nerves from the scare, “Also, you’re so single-minded, being chased by killers yet still thinking of ways to capture them. When you went to the police station, didn’t any police officer think of recruiting you?”
Speaking of which, those cops specifically brought her a cake to win her over.
Sun Yubo heard Huang Zhilei, his fellow villager, shouting from the other side: There’s cake here, sent by the police.
Damn, the police really came to poach people! Sun Yubo abruptly ended the call.
After taking calls from concerned teachers and classmates, Xie Wanying turned around and was greeted by the tantalizing aroma of food.
The delivery man with the pizza arrived at the door. Huang Zhilei ran to get the pizza, praising, “Senior Cao is really generous.”
With Senior Cao, there was always good food to eat. Xie Wanying noted this.
Cao Yong handed her the milk, “Eat.”
“Thank you, senior.” Xie Wanying stood up to express her gratitude.
The three of them ate pizza as the night fell, their stomachs famished. After finishing, there was a knock at the door, and they saw Zhang Tinghai standing at the entrance.
“I’d like to have a word with you,” Zhang Tinghai said to Xie Wanying.
Xie Wanying went out to talk to Dr. Zhang, saying, “On the way here, Senior Cao told me about it, Dr. Zhang, it’s all in the past.”
“Thank you. Especially after my father heard about your incident, he was very touched and said he wants to come and personally thank you.”
“There’s no need,” Xie Wanying waved her hand dismissively.
“In the future, if you need any help, just call me. I heard Lau Jingyun wants to be your dedicated anesthetist, but she definitely isn’t up to it. You’re interested in thoracic surgery, right?”
Xie Wanying didn’t dare to admit it.
Seeing her silent expression, Zhang Tinghai got the message and cleared his throat, “I’d like to tell you, thoracic surgery is shifting towards more minimally invasive techniques these days, with thoracoscopy becoming mainstream, and anesthesia requires double-lumen endotracheal intubation for single lung ventilation. Her intubation skills leave much to be desired. A simple single-lumen is challenging enough for her even with special patients, not to mention a double-lumen. I know she might have said something to you, probably that I’m targeting her, right? Do you think I am targeting her?”
In the past, Xie Wanying might have thought it possible that Dr. Zhang would do such a thing, but now that she understood him better, she believed she and her senior sisters had misunderstood him.
