Chapter 809: Chapter 811: Making the Program
Although he got into this hospital through connections at the ti, his achievents in dicine are still quite high. Otherwise, such a renowned hospital in the whole province wouldn’t have employed him. In recent years, people have gradually started to realize the benefits of Chinese dicine, and it has silently re-erged in people’s lives. Therefore, Sun Xingyao’s departnt is the busiest every day, bustling with activity, and reporters frequently co to interview him.
Now, his door is virtually deserted, so after attending to a handful of patients, he went to the front desk nurse and told her that he wasn’t feeling well today and it was inconvenient for him to see patients. He instructed those who registered to see him to now register with Xiao Yifei instead. After all, the director wouldn’t say anything if he occasionally slacked off.
Xiao Yifei looked at the line at his side growing longer and longer, but he had no major complaints. In idle monts, he often thought of his grandfather and the people he tried his best to save but couldn’t, particularly the citywide beloved old mayor.
When busy, he doesn’t have ti to think about these things, and every ti he successfully treats a patient, his regret diminishes a little, and he feels his life still has value. Moreover, engaging with patients more allows him to accumulate more experience.
At the sa ti, there are more opportunities to see a variety of difficult and complicated diseases, which greatly aids his dical research. He is currently diligently studying his family’s legacy, the “Xiao’s 108 Needles.” He’s almost finished with the theory but hasn’t found an opportunity to practice. So every day he hopes to encounter patients with difficult diseases.
Xiao Yifei’s exquisite dical skills are recognized by everyone in the hospital. His handso appearance adds to his charm, and his kind and humble deanor helps him earn the respect of older doctors in the hospital. On this day, the director called him to the office, where there was a stranger as well.
It turned out to be a director from a local TV station, hoping to collaborate with Xiao Yifei’s hospital on a dical program.
The visiting director introduced himself, “Hello, Doctor Xiao, my surna is Qi. We’ve been planning this program for a year, and it finally got approved last month. The program is roughly divided into two parts. The first part is a small Chinese dicine class, using so innovative formats to educate everyone on the knowledge of Chinese dicine.”
“The second part is following a doctor in the hospital every week, docunting the stories between doctors and patients more authentically. As you know, the current doctor-patient relationship is particularly tense. The purpose of our program is firstly to promote China’s traditional culture—Chinese dicine.”
“Secondly, we hope everyone who watches our program can have a deeper understanding of the dical profession. It’s a high-paying and secure profession in the eyes of outsiders, but it’s not that easy. We want them to see the hardship in this profession and understand and respect doctors.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yifei was sowhat moved. Spreading and promoting Chinese dicine has always been his dream, and now there is such an opportunity. But he didn’t yet know the director’s opinion, so he asked, “I’ve generally understood it. Personally, I think this is a good plan, and broadcasting it could serve as excellent publicity for our hospital. Director, what do you think?”
“Before you ca, I had a detailed conversation with this colleague from the TV station. Their idea is quite good, and I think this cooperation opportunity is rare. My idea is to have you be the lecturer for this Chinese dicine class. You have good qualifications in every aspect; this is an excellent opportunity,” said the director.
“Since you’re saying so, Director, I’ll consider it,” Xiao Yifei replied.
The director said, “Let know your decision after you’ve considered it. Here’s the detailed plan; both of you can study it carefully. Feel free to bring up any opinions or ideas. That’s it; I’ll take my leave.” Xiao Yifei and the director saw the TV station director off to the hospital entrance, waving goodbye.
As he was about to head back, he turned and saw Sun Xingyao coming toward them. “Director, was there soone important here just now?” Sun Xingyao asked. “Yes, soone from the TV station. They are interested in cooperating with our hospital on a dical program.”
The director knew that Sun Xingyao and Xiao Yifei never got along, so he didn’t elaborate on the cooperation details. But Sun Xingyao saw that it was Xiao Yifei and the director who escorted the TV station person out, so he roughly understood that Xiao Yifei would definitely appear on TV this ti.
Sun Xingyao looked at Xiao Yifei standing beside the director and felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at him. If Xiao Yifei hadn’t co to this hospital, then I’d be the one appearing on TV. As soon as he ca, all the good things went to him. As long as Xiao Yifei stays at this hospital, I can’t sleep or eat in peace, Sun Xingyao thought angrily.
In the evening, Xiao Yifei returned ho and, while having dinner, briefly told Tang Rong about the collaboration with the TV station. For once, Tang Rong didn’t start by mocking Xiao Yifei, but instead seriously analyzed the pros and cons of this matter, concluding that the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
Tang Rong concluded, “It seems you’re lucky recently, with good things happening one after another. Looks like I’ll have to raise the rent since you’re so well-off now.”
Xiao Yifei rolled his eyes at her and said, “You’re the classic landlady blinded by money. I’ve already paid you enough rent. Can’t you show a little sympathy for soone away from ho?”
Whenever Xiao Yifei and Tang Rong quietly sat at the table eating dinner, Xiao Yifei always had a sense of tranquility, as if the years were peaceful. The gentle light in the living room evoked a sense of ho, and sotis he wished these days could continue forever, even though he knew it was impossible.
He occasionally thought of his study abroad days. Those who have never been abroad cannot understand what a lone international student has experienced, especially one who isn’t well off. In his second year abroad, Xiao Yifei stopped asking his family for living expenses. The local cost of living was high, and the money he earned from part-ti jobs barely covered basic needs.
While material shortages could be endured, the loneliness couldn’t be avoided. This feeling was especially noticeable during holidays. One year during Spring Festival, Xiao Yifei was busy doing experints in the lab. It wasn’t until he went online in the evening back at the dorm that he rembered it was New Year’s Eve.
He thought about making a hot pot for himself, but after a long walk to the supermarket, he found it closed. As he slowly walked back to the dorm alone, he suddenly recalled a novel he had read: The last person on earth sat in a room, then heard a knock at the door.
How despairing that last person must be, Xiao Yifei thought; today I felt the sa loneliness. He even questioned whether it was a mistake to study abroad alone.
From that ti on, Xiao Yifei particularly longed for the warmth of ho. So when Tang Rong took him in during his most destitute ti, his heart was filled with gratitude.
