Chapter 700: On the road, it’s really tense. Chapter 700: On the road, it’s really tense. After hanging up the phone, Qiu Ruiyun took out all her documents and tickets to check them again, handing one of the tickets to Xie Wanying before asking her, “Have you ever been on a plane? Do you know how to board one?”
“Mhm,” she had actually been on one before her rebirth.
“When we get to the airport, I will seek assistance from the airport staff first so we can use the special passage, to avoid any accidents along the way,” Qiu Ruiyun told her. “Teacher Tao is familiar with the people at the airport and should have called in advance to arrange everything.”
Senior Tao was extremely cautious in his work, always handling everything for others beforehand, which made everyone feel at ease following him. No wonder he was called Buddha. Xie Wanying gained a deeper understanding of Senior Tao’s nickname.
“Yes.” Qiu Ruiyun didn’t deny the benefits of working with Tao Zhijie and admitted she liked working with him as well, saying, “A lot of people like Teacher Tao. But definitely not just anyone can work with Teacher Tao.”
Hepatobiliary Surgery was already the hardest department for medical students to stay in hospital-wide, with too many talents and overcrowding–it really wasn’t lacking people. Those who could stay under Tao Zhijie, like Qiu Ruiyun, came from Beidu and had edged out several top Guoxie classmates to remain there.
Xie Wanying was surprised to learn that Dr. Qiu and Teacher Xiao Sun were classmates.
“Sun Yubo wanted to come to Hepatobiliary Surgery but got eliminated by me,” Qiu Ruiyun talked proudly about when she ranked first in the past exams, showcasing her triumph, “I know he always wanted to stay in Hepatobiliary Surgery because he was afraid of Tan Kelin.”
But didn’t Teacher Xiao Sun also seem a bit afraid when he met Senior Tao? Xie Wanying recalled the scene when Teacher Xiao Sun met Senior Tao in General Surgery Department Two.
“Nonsense, he got eliminated by Teacher Tao during an interview. Do you think he wouldn’t be afraid of him afterward?” said Qiu Ruiyun.
Xie Wanying was stunned; it had never crossed her mind that Teacher Xiao Sun had such a past.
“At that time, General Surgery Department Two just happened to be short-staffed and Tan Kelin wanted to recruit a student from our alma mater, which is why he was brought in. His shortcomings are quite obvious,” Qiu Ruiyun said. “There’s no way you didn’t notice them when you were with him.”
Teacher Xiao Sun did tend to be overly anxious.
But if Teacher Xiao Sun had no merits at all, how did he end up being recruited by Teacher Tan?
“If he isn’t nervous, his technique is pretty good,” Qiu Ruiyun admitted that Sun Yubo had his strengths–he was quick-witted and learned fast, but the problem was, “No matter how good his technique is, it’s not better than mine.”
There were many top-performing, arrogant students in medical school, and her class was full of such boys. Of course, Senior Qiu wasn’t being arrogant; she was joking to ease the tension on the road, as Xie Wanying could tell.
To be honest, her heart was pounding with anxiety, afraid of any time delays.
The ambulance arrived at the airport terminal.
They learned that the flight they were supposed to take had just landed on the tarmac, and boarding would require a wait.
Qiu Ruiyun led her to the airport staff to assert their identity, and the two of them then went straight to the VIP lounge to sit down, ensuring that the organ transplant box wouldn’t accidentally get damaged by someone–a catastrophe that would be.
As they waited patiently, Qiu Ruiyun and Xie Wanying often looked at their watches, counting the minutes.
They wouldn’t be able to relax for a second until they safely delivered the liver source back to their own hospital’s operating room.
When the time came, the airport staff came over to notify them that they could board the plane early.
The two escorted the transplant box onto the plane, followed by a flight time of five and a half hours. It was nighttime aboard the aircraft, but neither dared to sleep soundly as they took turns keeping a close watch on the box.
They arrived at their destination at six o’clock in the morning.
