Bai Xiao returned to the department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
At this moment, Doctor Li Xiangqian had just sent off his last patient. Seeing Bai Xiao return, he thought the Dean had criticized her, and comforted her, "Doctor Bai, don’t worry, everyone is a bit awkward when they start. Be bold and try, and we can study together anything you don’t understand." Li Xiangqian was only in his mid-twenties, still single, and tended to be more caring towards young female doctors.
"Thank you, Doctor Li."
Bai Xiao finally caught her breath, poured a glass of water, and before she could drink, Nurse Xiaozhang had already burst in, flustered.
"Doctor Bai, the Dean wants you in the conference room!"
Li Xiangqian felt puzzled as Dean Yu usually treated subordinates kindly and didn’t put on airs. What was happening today, continuously focusing on Bai Xiao?
"Doctor Bai! Is there something wrong?"
She had just returned from the Dean’s office, and now she had to go again. It felt like a relentless series of critical strikes.
Bai Xiao shook her head, pretending it was nothing, "I don’t know, I’ll go see."
With her hands in her pockets, she sauntered to the conference room.
The door was tightly closed. Bai Xiao knocked on the door, and before her fingertips could touch the handle—
The door suddenly swung open from inside.
Bai Xiao almost fell in, completely unprepared, but fortunately, she supported herself on the doorframe, stabilizing her figure.
The person inside had a face full of enthusiastic smiles, which sent a chill down Bai Xiao’s back.
"Doctor Bai, welcome!"
The person who opened the door turned out to be Director Zhu. Before Bai Xiao could react, she was pulled inside.
Upon entering, she faced more than a dozen pairs of eyes, all filled with eager anticipation. Like under thousands of watts of lighting, Bai Xiao awkwardly smiled and said, "Hello everyone!" and gestured to the crowd.
What do these foreigners want?
They looked at her as if they had seen a top-grade steak, almost ready to devour her alive.
"These are foreign experts who have come to our hospital for an exchange and learning experience. Doctor Bai, come and meet them," Yu Shaohua called out to Bai Xiao.
The foreign experts were nearly desperate.
Bai Xiao walked up to everyone, "Hello everyone!"
Her English was passable, simple conversation was still possible. After all, she had once been a prospective college student; there was no doubt about that.
Jack saw Bai Xiao and his eyes lit up. Coming up enthusiastically, he took Bai Xiao’s hand, chattering nonstop, while the other foreign experts also surrounded her, leaving Bai Xiao completely bewildered. What exactly did they want to do?
The interpreter quickly intervened, "This is the acupuncturist who was wearing the face mask earlier, so young and a female doctor at that—totally unexpected."
"Doctor Bai, Mr. Jack would like to invite you to America to his hospital for an exchange and learning experience. Don’t worry, Mr. Jack says all the costs of the exchange and the highest expert salary in their hospital will be covered by them, guaranteeing your satisfaction."
"This is Mr. McKeown. He invites you to Germany’s Froland Hospital to learn, with generous treatment. Especially, you can study the latest surgical cases, and even participate in the surgeries. Round-trip travel expenses, a bonus, and a research fund are all included." This was an open temptation, sparing no efforts.
"This is Mr. Ryan, inviting you to France’s Francis Hospital for an exchange. Name any conditions, and they will be accepted without a second word."
"This is..."
The interpreter was already struggling to keep up with the translation, as so many people were talking at once, her ears couldn’t keep up!
