Chapter 41: CH 39.2

Perhaps it was because of Dr. Jiang’s supervision, but Shen Fangyu returned to the hospital faster than expected. Jiang Xu came back from the outpatient department, and heard that Shen Fangyu was back. It was obvious that the cold did not affect Shen Fangyu’s energy at all, as he heard a burst of laughter when he came to the office door.

Jiang Xu was very familiar with the male voice, but the female voice was new.

He paused, and Wu Rui suddenly appeared from behind him, saying, “Why are you standing here in a daze? Go in!”

Jiang Xu: “…”

“Jiang Xu?” Shen Fangyu, who was chatting with someone, heard Wu Rui’s voice, and he happened to bump into Jiang Xu’s eyes when he looked over.

Jiang Xu nodded to him and went to his seat. Wu Rui saw the woman next to Shen Fangyu and asked with a smile: “This is?”

Jiang Xu, who was flipping through the medical records not far away, unconsciously rubbed the margins of the page.

“This is Sister Guo of the Administrative Department.” There were many people in the Administrative Department, so Shen Fangyu explained with a smile: “She was the one who helped issue Jiang Xu’s ticket. ”

Jiang Xu unobtrusively threw aside the ravaged medical record book.

Sister Guo also teased Wu Rui and introduced herself: “Guo Xue of the Administrative Department; Dr. Wu is too law-abiding, so he has never seen me. ”

“Hello, hello,” Wu Rui shook her hand, “I see that I am older than you, so I won’t call you Sister Guo,” he said with a smile: “Why are you here? Is the administrative department looking for us?”

Guo Xue pointed to the desk calendar and notebook on the table. “I heard that Dr. Yu Sang has been promoted to attending doctor, so I brought him something on behalf of the administrative department,” she said as she took out a leaflet. “Also, the hospital always holds a Mid-Autumn Festival party; according to the rotation of departments, it’s your department’s turn to arrange a show.”

The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was an old tradition in Jihua that was held every year. It was said to show the spiritual outlook of contemporary doctors, but it was more like a social party for the leaders. Current employees of Jihua could go to the party if they want, but in fact, the audience that participates in the party every year could fill the front row at most, and most of them were relatives and friends of the leaders.

Medical workers were so busy that it was difficult to squeeze out time to go to the party, let alone arrange a show. So the administrative department negotiated with various departments for a long time, and finally came up with a rotation system.

As soon as he heard Guo Xue say this, Wu Rui, who had been curious a moment ago, instantly went to his workstation and sat with a straight back, looking at the computer intently, as if he could see flowers in the medical records. His whole body gave off an aura saying, “I’m busy; don’t look for me”.

As Guo Xue’s friend, Shen Fangyu knew she would not arrange for him to participate in the show, so he casually picked up the leaflet and looked at it.

The administrative department was full of talents, and the leaflet was particularly beautiful; the dark blue folding page had gold letters, and the background of Jihua Hospital was a night sky. There was a golden full moon shining on the lit hospital building; light and shadow are intertwined, and there were clouds surrounding it.

It was a pity that the winks were thrown to the blind, and no one was willing to go to the party.

Shen Fangyu’s gaze fell on the big words on the title page, “Mid-Autumn Full Moon Medical Inheritance?” He said: “Why do I remember that this theme was used a few years ago. ”

“This theme was the most innovative, so we reuse it,” Guo Xue explained, “But the show that Director Cui set for you is quite new.”

“Me?” Shen Fangyu, who was eating his own melons, was stunned and said, “Teacher Cui wants me to act in the show?”

“Yes,” Guo Xue didn’t care about the friendship between the two of them, “I just went to ask Director Cui what show your department is putting on, and she said that you and Doctor Jiang will sing the theme song of “The Legend of The New White Snake”. Isn’t that *Xu Xian also a doctor? How fresh!  Although Director Cui is old, her thinking is quite trendy, and I couldn’t think of a more interesting show. ”

Shen Fangyu’s face was ashen, and he couldn’t listen to Guo Xue’s praise for Director Cui at all. “Is there a teacher who pits students like this?” He looked desperate and asked, “Is that reasonable?” ”

“It’s unreasonable!” Jiang Xu stood up directly, “I’ll go to Teacher Cui and talk to her.”

A pair of treasure knives from the obstetrics and gynecology department once again appeared in Director Cui’s office in the same frame, and the latter slowly flipped through the newspaper, “Oh, young people should show themselves more; why should such handsome young men hide in the department all day?”

“Teacher Cui, I really can’t,” Jiang Xu said, “I have a surgery scheduled that day.”

“The party doesn’t start until eight o’clock in the evening, and it’s on a Sunday. You can skip one surgery that day, let Lao Xue do it, I’ll call him.”

Lao Xue was another deputy chief physician in the department. He was very kind, but because he was twenty or thirty years older than Jiang Xu, they were not that close.

“What a shame,” Shen Fangyu knew that he and Jiang Xu were grasshoppers on the same rope at this moment, “Brother Xue is busy with his child’s study abroad.”

“It’s already done, he’s idle now.” Director Cui had a round face and was not very old, and she looked very kind when she smiled, “For the sake of the show, Old Xue is definitely willing to do the surgery.”

Jiang Xu was speechless for a while. He glanced at Shen Fangyu, implying that he should think of a way out.

Shen Fangyu saw the pot being thrown to him, he turned his head and changed the excuse to, “Teacher Cui, we have to do ward rounds.”

“When the time comes, you can ask a student to watch the time. Go to the performance when the time comes, and come back to do ward rounds after singing.  It will only take ten minutes to go back and forth, so it won’t delay you.” Director Cui did not give him a chance to say more and even thought of time-saving strategies for them.

“Teacher Cui, you know that Jiang Xu and I are at odds,” Shen Fangyu resorted to the last trump card, “I can’t cooperate with him, and we don’t have a tacit understanding.”

“Didn’t you perform Zhang Yu’s surgery together?” Director Cui said: “Can singing together require more tacit understanding than doing surgery on the same operating table? ”

Director Cui, who has been a vice president for many years, was obviously well versed in the art of conversation. She slowly and methodically dismissed the excuses of the two doctors with a thermos cup in hand.

“Okay, this matter is decided, I will come and watch on the day of the party,” Director Cui finished with a smile. She drew a big cake for the two and then added a sweet date: “I’m going to participate in an international conference abroad when the New Year is over. If you behave well, I will apply with the dean and bring both of you.”

She said to Shen Fangyu: “If you don’t perform well, then your spot to the conference is gone.” She glanced at Jiang Xu and then said to Shen Fangyu: “If Jiang Xu doesn’t perform well, then you can’t go.”

Shen Fangyu: “? ”

“What does Jiang Xu’s performance have to do with me?” Shen Fangyu endured but finally couldn’t help but say, “It would be a miracle if he cooperates with me.”

Of course, Director Cui also knew that Jiang Xu was much more difficult to convince than Shen Fangyu; otherwise, she would not have given this difficult task to Shen Fangyu.

It was rare for the department to have a social activity. In addition, she heard that the dean’s daughter had returned to China this year, and she was looking forward to this Mid-Autumn Festival party.

The girl was young, kind, and beautiful, and Director Cui has always liked her two young and hardworking students. On the surface, she was asking them to perform, but in fact, she wanted to sell her students,

When people reach middle age, they like to watch young people become pairs, and have children, and Director Cui was no exception.

She saw how hard Jiang Xu and Shen Fangyu worked over the years, and felt that it was a good thing, but she was also a little worried that the two of them would get so engrossed in their careers that they would delay other affairs.

Her two students were skilled and handsome, and the dean’s daughter could also be regarded as a talented woman. A golden boy and a jade girl. If such a pair came together, they can become even more prosperous in their careers.

But the highly respected Director Cui could not make her intentions clear. In addition, she knew that young people didn’t like being advised or forced on blind dates. It was best to make use of this show to set them up.

Moreover, she also wanted to ease the relationship between the two people through this matter, after all, it’s good to compete when you are young, but it’s not conducive to the development of the two if it goes on forever. If they progress into bitter enemies, it would not be conducive to the unity of the department.

She was not worried about Shen Fangyu, at most, he’d just complain a bit, but if she really arranged for him to perform, he would not insist on refusing and would not embarrass his teacher and leaders.

But Jiang Xu was much more rigid. If he doesn’t want to do something, then he won’t do it, not to mention her, the vice president, and his teacher, even if the dean of Jihua came, he would not bother to give face.

She knew her students’ personalities well.  Shen Fangyu was the pervasive water, and Jiang Xu was the stubborn rock that could not be moved. She could only hope that Shen Fangyu had a way to penetrate the rock.

However, she would not say these words to the two of them. The benevolent Director Cui said what should be said and directly waved her hand: “I’m going to the courtyard for a meeting; I’ll wait for your good news.”

She left the two standing in place.

After a long time, Shen Fangyu slowly said: “Jiang Xu…”

“Are you so familiar with Guo Xue?” Jiang Xu suddenly interrupted him.

“Huh?” Shen Fangyu was stunned and confused by Jiang Xu’s 180-degree turn. “Yes.” He wondered if Jiang Xu wanted to ask Guo Xue something, and added, “If you have something to ask her, just talk to me, I’ll tell her, and she will definitely help.”

Jiang Xu glanced at him.

Shen Fangyu: “So…the show…”

“Not going.”

Jiang Xu interrupted Shen Fangyu expressionlessly and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

“Hey Jiang Xu!”

Shen Fangyu looked at Jiang Xu’s back and shouted.

Jiang Xu walked quickly and ignored him.

Shen Fangyu looked at Jiang Xu’s angry back and muttered to himself, “If you’re not going, then don’t go; why are you angry?”
