356: Chapter 246 Purpose (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!) 356: Chapter 246 Purpose (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!) The first watch of the night has arrived.
—————–
“Director Jing, you’re here.” Seeing Jing Zhe pushing the door open, Wang Jing quickly got up to greet him, her face glowing with barely concealed excitent.
Jing Zhe nodded at her and walked towards Song Xiaoyu, who was smiling at him, “Could you please not look at with that expression?”
“Aren’t you a rare visitor?
Can’t I be a bit surprised?” Song Xiaoyu said, still smiling, “Jing Yi was just going on about it the day before yesterday, telling to hurry up and introduce you to a girlfriend.”
“My sister would never say that…” Jing Zhe raised an eyebrow, “You clearly haven’t studied psychology, to tailor the dialogue to the character’s personality.”
“Do you think I’m an actor to ‘tailor dialogue’?” Song Xiaoyu laughed and shook her head, then got to the point, “What do you need from ?
Tell .”
Jing Zhe’s expression beca serious, “I’m here to collect the study materials for Lin Chuxia.
She might have to stay at ho for a few more days, I just wanted to give you a heads up.”
“Hmph, take these back to her.” Song Xiaoyu handed over a packed docunt bag to Jing Zhe, “Since you want to play the good Samaritan, I’ll let you.”
“I’m her brother, it’s only right I worry about her.” Jing Zhe took the docunt bag, waved, and turned to leave.
“Hurry up and find a girlfriend, don’t make your mom worry.” Song Xiaoyu gave him another reminder.
Jing Zhe turned back, “Director Song, do you know why I always address you as Director Song?”
Song Xiaoyu blinked, puzzled, “Is there a reason for that?”
“Of course.” Jing Zhe shrugged, “One mont you’re my mom’s friend, the next you’re my sister’s friend.
I honestly don’t know whether to call you ‘auntie’ or ‘sister,’ so I can only call you Director Song.”
“Alright, just say I love to ddle for no reason.” Song Xiaoyu waved it off, “Call whatever you like, as long as you take my advice to heart.”
Jing Zhe: “…”
Ever since Zhou Mikang got married, he’s always been used as a benchmark to rush him.
His mom enlisted one after another assistant, using indirect pressure, side attacks, and direct comnts…
Where were they trying to push him to?!
“Teacher, Director Jing…
is Lin Chuxia’s cousin?” Wang Jing couldn’t help but ask curiously after hearing the steps fading away.
Song Xiaoyu nodded, “Pretty much.”
“Teacher, why doesn’t Director Jing find a girlfriend?”
“It’s not that he hasn’t been looking, just hasn’t t the right one yet…” Song Xiaoyu looked up at her, “Why so curious about his affairs, got your eye on him?”
“Teacher, among the unmarried doctors and nurses at our hospital, how many are indifferent to Director Jing?
I’m certainly no exception…” Wang Jing smiled shyly, “Teacher, would you consider setting us up?”
“It seems your courage is getting bigger…” Song Xiaoyu said with a laugh, “But the dew should not fall on outsiders’ fields, okay, I’ll try.”
“Thank you, Teacher.” Wang Jing quickly expressed her thanks.
“You’ve been with for a few years, you’ve had your share of hard work, so it’s only right that I worry about you,” Song Xiaoyu sincerely said.
Wang Jing’s eyes suddenly reddened.
“Alright, alright, don’t get all delicate on now…” Song Xiaoyu laughed and waved her hand, “Go out for so air to adjust your mood, we still have to see patients this afternoon.”
“I’m just touched,” Wang Jing muttered, getting up, “Teacher, I’ll go take a walk then, and bring your lunch back.”
“Okay.”
Upon leaving the office, Wang Jing hesitated slightly and headed towards Jing Zhe’s office.
“Knock, knock…”
“Co in!”
Pushing open the door, she saw only Wu Jingbo, Jing Zhe’s intern, by himself, “Director Jing hasn’t returned?”
Wu Jingbo smiled gently, “He had sothing to do and went ho early, he might not be back until this afternoon.”
“I see…” Wang Jing’s eyes showed a hint of disappointnt, but then, rembering that Wu Jingbo and Chuxia were both from the won’s dical team, her eyes brightened again, “Are you close with Lin Chuxia?”
Wu Jingbo shook his head, “Not really.”
“Do you know she’s Jing Zhe’s cousin?”
“I didn’t.”
“I see…” Wang Jing stood up with a smile, “She might have to stay in her hotown longer, I just ntioned it in passing.
When Lin Chuxia returns, let’s all get together, I’ll co and find you.”
“Okay,” Wu Jingbo nodded and said no more.
Realizing that Wu Jingbo wasn’t much for conversation, and suspecting she wouldn’t get much more information from him, Wang Jing stood up to leave, “Then I’ll be going, I’ll co back to see Director Jing later.”
“Alright, I’ll pass the ssage on to the teacher,” Wu Jingbo stood up and escorted Wang Jing to the door, waiting until her figure disappeared before closing the office door.
Glancing at Jing Zhe’s desk, a hint of contemplation flickered in his eyes.
It seed that Wang Jing had also taken a fancy to Teacher Jing.
After all, how many unmarried female doctors and nurses in this hospital weren’t interested in him?
Good family background, good looks, good personality, good education, good skills…
and the son of Vice President Jing, who wouldn’t like such a perfect man?
Lin Chuxia…
As for the relationship between Lin Chuxia and Jing Zhe, she had always been sowhat confused.
During their ti with the dical team, she had seen that Jing Zhe was quite fond of Lin Chuxia, and at that ti, she even thought that it would be Lin Chuxia who would be taken on as a disciple by Jing Zhe, yet unexpectedly, this windfall landed on her head.
At that ti, she was dumbfounded.
Heaven, that was too much of a blessing for her!
Why would a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese dicine practitioners co to study Western dicine?
Of course, there was a reason!
It was true that her family ca from a lineage of traditional Chinese dicine, but after that great disaster and considering the low status of traditional Chinese dicine nowadays, the only ones who still persisted in learning traditional Chinese dicine from Old Master Wu were she and her younger uncle.
Her father, her uncles, and aunts had all entered official service.
Of course, relying on Old Master Wu’s connections, they were all doing quite well.
However, Old Master Wu was not interested in his children’s official careers.
His wish was to promote and honor traditional Chinese dicine, but unfortunately, neither she nor her younger uncle had the talent to satisfy Old Master Wu.
Indeed, the one Old Master Wu was satisfied with was Jing Zhe.
Jing Zhe was once a student of Old Master Wu, and his talent in this field exceeded Old Master Wu’s expectations.
However, after Old Master Wu found himself in difficulties and could no longer teach, Jing Zhe ultimately chose Western dicine.
This was the greatest regret in Old Master Wu’s heart.
She ca, precisely to resolve this regret for Old Master Wu.
In doing so, she did not tell Old Master Wu.
Joining the dical team midway was a favor she had asked her second uncle for.
Even she herself did not expect everything to go so smoothly and according to her wishes.
She knew that with Jing Zhe’s current achievents, persuading him to switch to studying traditional Chinese dicine would be extrely difficult.
Therefore, she had to be prepared for a long-term struggle, subtly influencing him to change.
She believed that once he saw the powerful healing effects of integrating traditional Chinese and Western dicine, he would likely be interested in becoming Old Master Wu’s disciple again.
If…
She covered her burning face with her hands and shook her head forcefully, forcing herself to drive away the increasingly intense thought.
She knew that if she couldn’t control her own emotions, then her plan was probably not far from failure.
Even now, Grandpa was still disappointed in her apparent betrayal.
Several tis, she had the truth on the tip of her tongue but then suppressed it and did not speak out.
She certainly did not hope that when the day ca that she could speak openly, she would have to tell her grandfather that she had tried to bring back his favored disciple, only to fail…
Cheng Guo pushed the door open and entered with an excited flush on her face.
Noticing that Jing Zhe was not there, she lowered her voice and asked, “Where’s Teacher Jing?”
Wu Jingbo gathered her thoughts and said indifferently, “He’s gone ho.”
“She agreed.
And she was especially happy,” Cheng Guo said as she handed over a neatly folded square piece of paper to Wu Jingbo, “Please, junior sister.”
“No need for thanks, we’re fellow disciples; helping each other is natural,” Wu Jingbo thought for a mont and then added, “I think it should be fine, but if by chance things get stuck, don’t bla .”
Cheng Guo imdiately bowed her hands in gratitude: “I’m already very thankful for your willingness to help, thank you.”
After delivering the materials to Lin Chuxia at noon and having lunch, Jing Zhe returned to the hospital, and along the way, he delivered the food Lin Chuxia had sent for Luo Xiaoqiong.
“How is Chuxia doing now?” These past few days, Luo Xiaoqiong had been anxiously on tenterhooks, but she couldn’t keep asking for leave, and without anyone to talk to, she was nearly bursting with concern.
“She’s doing quite well, don’t worry,” Jing Zhe said with a smile, “She told to tell you to study hard and not worry about her.
When she cos back, she wants to see who has made more progress.”
“Teacher Jing, I really trust you…”
Jing Zhe interrupted her, “That’s right, you should trust .”
Luo Xiaoqiong swallowed her doubts and said, “Teacher, if there’s any new information about Chuxia, you must tell right away.”
“Alright.”
“Will she be able to co back as soon as the holiday is over?”
“It might be a few days later.”
Luo Xiaoqiong then politely bid Jing Zhe farewell, without pressing any further.
In the afternoon, Zhao Qiliang ca to see her, and she confided her worries: “Teacher said Chuxia will be fine, but then, he also said she can’t co back on ti.
My heart is in turmoil.”
“Silly girl…” Zhao Qiliang smiled and patted her head, “Whether what he says is true or false, you can’t help anyway, so stop worrying needlessly.”
“Hey!” Luo Xiaoqiong beca unhappy, “Chuxia is your cousin, and you’re so unconcerned about her, it’s truly disappointing!”
“Fretting and worrying is caring about Chuxia?” Zhao Qiliang said with a helpless smile, “I’ve been in the military for over a year now, and I know the Zhou family’s situation better than you do.
Rest assured, the Zhou family won’t fall so easily, and they absolutely have the ability to protect Chuxia well.
What we need to do is not to cause trouble.
Not causing trouble is the best help we can offer, understand?”
“I…” Hesitating a bit, Luo Xiaoqiong said, “I want to ask the Director for help.
If Teacher Jing’s father, as a vice president, can protect Chuxia, the Director, being in an even higher position, should be able to protect her even better, don’t you think?”
