Chapter 756: Chapter 505: Reaction
"You were born to be a healer." Huang Suai was generous with her praise for Chuxia, and the look in her eyes conveyed her sincerity.
"Thank you." The other party was friendly, and naturally, Chuxia wouldn’t respond coldly; she smiled softly, dimples appearing, "Thank you for your recognition."
"I am just making a fair judgment." Huang Suai turned to look at Director Xu, "If Elder Liang hadn’t acted quickly, I would have really wanted to snatch her away."
"Hehe..." Director Xu just laughed, not continuing her words, and walked outside with everyone; Huang Suai, ever so clever, immediately exposed him: "Are you worried about her being my assistant, afraid I might mistreat her?"
"You think too much," Director Xu turned back and patted her, "you are a genius, and Chuxia’s talent is also not bad. Logically, you leading her would be a good choice.
However, the grudges between your two families are clear; whether you are suitable to be her mentor is quite apparent, why should I interfere unnecessarily?"
"Hmm, you are right to worry, but to be honest with you, if she really followed me, my requirements for her would definitely be stricter than for others, I guess she couldn’t handle it."
As she said this, Huang Suai deliberately raised her voice so that Chuxia, who was walking ahead, could hear, but Chuxia didn’t respond; Elder Yuan turned his head, sized up Huang Suai with his eyes, and snorted: "Trying to snatch my student?"
Huang Suai blinked at him: "Elder Yuan, I wouldn’t dare snatch your student; I was just praising your student. Can’t you tell?"
"I’ll accept the praise, but any other intentions, you can take back," Elder Yuan stared at her seriously, "Chuxia is a promising seed. Whoever wants to destroy her, I will destroy them first."
"Elder Yuan is threatening me," Huang Suai laughed and looked at Director Xu, "I had heard before that Elder Yuan is particularly protective of his protégés; now I truly understand it. It’s not just simple protection, I hadn’t even shown a hint of malice and Elder Yuan already looks ready to pull a knife on me; if I really had ill intentions towards Elder Yuan’s precious apprentice, I guess he would finish me off with one stab."
A few of them muttered behind, while Chuxia and Wang Jing did not look back; following the operating table, they went straight to the ward, instructed the patient’s family on how to take care of him, and then both of them turned back and left.
Fortunately, Director Xu and the others were no longer there.
Wang Jing sighed with relief, "Chuxia, I really don’t know if your talent is a blessing or a curse. It should be a good thing to be favored by Huang Suai, but I always feel there’s something off.
There isn’t a single person in our circle who wouldn’t want to be Huang Suai’s student, given her age; if one could become her apprentice, as long as they weren’t too incompetent, their future prospects would certainly be good.
But, I’ve never heard of her being so interested in any student; even though she repeatedly says she doesn’t plan to snatch you, from the tone of her voice, it’s clear she really likes you, wanting you by her side."
"She was just talking; if I really wanted to be by her side, she probably wouldn’t say so," Chuxia laughed and shook her head, "Or maybe, she wants me to know that she and Ye Meiru aren’t on the same path."
The primary reason Chuxia couldn’t share with Wang Jing. For a while, Huang Suai had to work with Zhou Mikang; probably, this was preempting her presence.
Although she hasn’t dealt much with Huang Suai, through others’ descriptions and her own actions, it was apparent that she was a girl with strong self-esteem who valued pride and was extremely proud.
It seems she already knew about her past actions; she probably appeared here intentionally, using this method to explain it to her, right?
She simply wanted to tell her that she had no feelings for her husband, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so close to her...
What could she say? Other than pretending to be deaf and dumb, what else could she do? Anyway, she felt that the chances of her becoming friends with the other person were very slim.
"By the way, I haven’t complimented you yet." Wang Jing looked at Chuxia excitedly, "When you stood at the operating table, you were truly beautiful. I didn’t think of you as a novice intern at all. Having assisted Director Song, Director Huang, and Director Liu before, I can say without exaggeration that in this surgery, you were no less capable than any of them."
"I won’t get carried away, I am just more dexterous with my hands..." Chuxia spread her hands, "Don’t worry, I can see where I stand. Your compliments won’t go to my head."
Although the hospital didn’t make a big deal out of Chuxia’s time at the operating table, within just a day, the word had spread all over the hospital.
First off, it was Elder Yuan’s boldness.
Some people felt that Elder Yuan was showing favoritism through connections, excessively doting on his apprentice, and even, someone unknown had reported it to the Health Bureau, and a leader actually called to have a talk with Elder Yuan.
Furthermore, everyone thought Chuxia was just lucky. Among the trainees who studied with her, those who had better scores never got this opportunity, but it just so happened to be her turn.
In the afternoon, when she went to class, it was absolutely clear that there was a division in the classroom. Members of the original women’s medical team all shared in the glory, while the students from room 401 looked at Chuxia with full hostility, especially the top two performers Liu Xinghua and Zhang Junmei. If looks could kill, Chuxia would have been stabbed into a bloody mess by them.
Being unenvied is only for the mediocre, Luo Xiaoqiong thus comforted Chuxia.
Chuxia just rolled her eyes at her. Saying this in front of so many people, was it really for her good? Doesn’t it imply that, other than her, most people are mediocre?
Though this was true, many people did not see it that way.
Fortunately, Qiao Ningyi, Yang Xiaoli, Lin Mengran, and Wu Jingbo had all gotten used to Luo Xiaoqiong’s way of speaking and indeed, they were genuinely happy for Chuxia. They were also full of hope for their own futures, thinking that with enough effort, they might also get to work on the operating table soon!
In the afternoon, a patient’s family member came to see Chuxia to offer an apology on behalf of her husband: "Doctor Xiao Lin, my man has been bashful since he was young. He doesn’t mistrust you, please don’t take it personally."
Chuxia quickly responded, "Auntie, I understand, it shows that uncle is a decent man; I won’t be upset. You just take good care of uncle."
"What happened?" Song Xiaoyu, who was unaware of the situation, asked curiously.
"Teacher, oh right, I forgot to tell you..." Wang Jing said laughing as she narrated the events in the operating room to Song Xiaoyu.
"He truly is a good man," Song Xiaoyu said with a chuckle, shaking her head, "It’s lucky it was a minor surgery. If it had been a major surgery and the patient acted like that, it would really have been troublesome for the doctors."
"I wouldn’t be involved in major surgeries." Chuxia had been in surgery earlier when Song Xiaoyu had gone to operate, and this was their first meeting post-surgery, Chuxia came up sucking up, "Teacher, you think I did fairly well today, right?"
With a smile brimming with self-satisfaction, Song Xiaoyu said, "On my way back from the operating room, everyone I met asked about your condition. What do you think?"(To be continued.
