CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 299 I AM MORE DILIGENT AND HARDWORKING

Qin Zhen took Rong Yan directly to the hospital dean’s office.

There were quite a few people in the office, including Qi Sheng and that Doctor Zhang.

There were also two other doctors who had participated in the surgery.

When Qin Zhen and Rong Yan entered, everyone who had been talking stopped and turned to look at them in unison.

However, they only glanced at Qin Zhen for a moment before all their gazes fixated on Rong Yan.

Those who had not met Rong Yan... just felt that she was too young and very attractive.

She looked like a naive young girl, not at all like the impressive doctor that they had been told about by Doctor Zhang and the others.

The older ones looked at Rong Yan... and were reminded of their own granddaughters at home, who were about the same age.

"Comrade Rong Yan, you’ve arrived," Doctor Zhang was the first to speak with considerable enthusiasm.

With his words, it became apparent that the beautiful girl was indeed the person they were looking for, which was beyond the expectations of those who had not met Rong Yan before.

One feeling... that was of disbelief.

Are the young people of today all so remarkable?

Rong Yan nodded towards him; she had a favorable impression of Doctor Zhang.

"Hello, Doctor Zhang, may I ask why you wanted to see me?"

"It’s our dean who wants to see you," Doctor Zhang replied as he turned his head towards an older man, "Dean, this is Comrade Rong Yan, the surgeon from yesterday."

There’s no doubt it’s her.

"Hello, Comrade Rong Yan," Dean Hao, snapping back to reality, had to accept that this young girl was indeed Rong Yan.

Rong Yan was unfazed, her expression calm, "Hello, Dean, may I ask the reason you summoned me?"

Dean Hao replied, "Why don’t you have a seat first? Oh, by the way, I’m Dean Hao."

"Comrade Rong Yan, sit here," Doctor Zhang gestured to a wooden chair beside him.

Rong Yan glanced at them, then nodded her head and calmly took a seat in the vacant spot.

Seeing her unflinching demeanor, those present couldn’t help but marvel at how different some people can be.

If it were their daughters or granddaughters... seeing so many people around, none of them would have been able to remain so composed and at ease.

And Qin Zhen, who had been ignored since coming in, naturally could not leave at this moment.

With so many people around and only his younger sister there... He had to see to it that she was safely escorted back home.

Otherwise, his cousin’s fists, which were no joke, might have something to say about it.

Who could imagine that someone without formal training,

Dean Hao cleared his throat and then spoke up, "Comrade Rong Yan, on behalf of our hospital, I would like to invite you to work for us. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Yan was not surprised, as she had already suspected this might be the case during the journey. After all, the medical expertise she had demonstrated... was indeed exceptional, and it would be unreasonable not to try and recruit her.

However, she had already made plans for her future path.

"Sorry, Dean Hao, but I must decline, for next month, I am due to report to Jing City University to pursue further education."

Dean Hao: ...With your remarkable skills, outstripping even our chief physicians by a margin, do you really need to study further?

Isn’t that unnecessary?

Everyone else was thinking the same thing: with her level of expertise, capable of leading surgeries already, did she still need to go to university?

Rong Yan seemed to perceive their thoughts, after all, the expressions on their faces were all too clear, without the slightest attempt to disguise them.

People of this era are quite endearing, wearing their thoughts right on their faces.

"There is no end to learning; there is still much for me to learn, which is why university is the place I ought to be."

Everyone: ...

After a long pause, Dean Hao realized she wasn’t joking.

Just as he was about to speak, Qin Zhen, who had been silent since entering the room, spoke up, "Dean Hao, my sister is the provincial top scorer in the college entrance exam. If you try to hold her back, I expect the chancellor of Jing City might have a bone to pick with you."

Everyone: ...

Dean Hao: ...

His face showed a mix of complicated feelings, "Indeed, exceptional people are always so accomplished; Comrade Rong Yan is truly impressive!"

This was just the second national college entrance examination, wasn’t it? And she had managed to achieve such stellar results.

Rong Yan smiled modestly.

"There are many talented people in the world; I am merely a bit more diligent and hardworking."

Fortunately, Madam Rong wasn’t present; otherwise, she might feel uneasy hearing this... her daughter couldn’t possibly be described as "diligent and hardworking," two terms that were entirely irrelevant to her.

However, Rong Yan’s humble demeanor earned her additional points from the onlookers.

Director Hao looked at Rong Yan, coming up with a new idea.

"Then, after you graduate, could you come work with us?" he sincerely invited.

If there were no issues with the political background checks, then they could certainly secure talent ahead of time.

"That... is too early to say. After all, university is four years, and there are too many uncertainties. As for work... we can discuss that in the future."

Considering her situation, if she were to take up a regular hospital position... she’d probably be reported, given that she had just received a thousand yuan from the Qi Family this morning.

She wasn’t currently employed at any hospital, so she was free to charge based on her skills and preferences.

If she were employed...

Then the money she received before... the patients might not feel too happy about it.

After all, they were receiving VIP treatment, only to find out that others could get the same for the cost of a clinic visit.

Who wouldn’t be on edge about that?

Rather than earn a monthly salary of a few tens of yuan, she’d rather have it this way... without having to open shop she could live off her earnings for three years.

Plus, she had greater freedom.

Of course, this was her current laid-back state of mind; who knows, in a few years, she might change her mind.

After all, people change. What if she fell in love with a routine job?

After hearing her response, Dean Hao couldn’t hide his disappointment.

"...Could you at least assist with the patients who are critically ill or have complicated diseases?"

Without hesitation this time, Rong Yan replied, "I can."

She quickly added, "And I can discuss with Doctor Zhang and the others."

For Dean Hao, this was an unexpected joy.

"Then that’s wonderful, thank you, Comrade Rong Yan. We will treat you as a visiting expert. Today, we have a case, a remarkable soldier from our military region who was brought in late last night. He has injured his Achilles tendon, and if it’s not properly treated, he might be discharged early from military service. I wonder if you have any expertise in this area, Comrade Rong Yan?"

Rong Yan: ...

With everyone waiting here, this must be the main reason they asked her to come, right?

All eyes in the room were fixed on her, and anyone with even a slightly unstable mentality might have felt nervous.

She stood up with composure, "What are we waiting for? Let’s go now!"

Dean Hao’s eyes lit up, "Let’s go, straight to the ward now. Old Fang, come along too."
