Chapter 5: Hospital

Official work starts on Children’s Day. It’s an unlucky morning as heavy rain pours down; holding an umbrella and walking down the spa.r.s.ely inhabited Blue Floral Street, the small parasol concealed her face. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible. All the way North, as she pa.s.ses Ling Tian community’s main entrance, a speeding Bentley car emerges from behind her, throwing up large waves of water all over her dress. Her whole back was drenched with water, and she almost screamed at the driver but was too late as she could only watch the car speed off.

She stared the Mercedes Bentley, wrote down the license plate number, 88888. This number is too easy to remember, if a car accident were to occur, with one glance you’ll be able to recall it. But upon recalling the auspicious numbers, the car must’ve been purchased at an extremely high price. Yisheng glanced at the community, it was indeed a luxurious area.

“Beep…” Yisheng was about to continue onwards, although she stopped behind an Audi Q7 when it honked at her. Yisheng turned to look at the driver, and saw Yan Heng reveal a row of white teeth, showing her a radiant smile, “Beautiful, do you want a ride? ”

Yisheng laughed, her depressed mood from the water incident earlier, evaporating into mist. She naturally enters the car, smiled and said: “Senior, what a coincidence.”

Turning the car towards the hospital, Yan Heng drops a question while on the way there, “Did you eat breakfast yet? ”

Yisheng was in a daze, “No I haven’t,” she has never naturally woken up before nine o’clock. Even on her first day of work, she needed an alarm clock to wake her up. She lingered in bed until 7:30 before getting up, naturally she didn’t have time to cook breakfast. It was rainy today, thus buying breakfast was avoided. In fact, Yisheng was accustomed to the lifestyle of being hungry from one meal to the next.

“I know,” Yan Heng readily took out a box filled with a carton of milk and two soft-boiled eggs from the car, “Both are nutritious and light, it should fill you up.”

Yisheng, dazed and a little startled, hesitated to take the breakfast from his hands. She forces a smile: “Senior is still very thoughtful of others.”

“I’m not as thoughtful as you think I am, you’re just an exception” Yan Heng’s eyes were serious, albeit his light tone.

Yisheng peeled the eggs carefully, thinking of how good her senior has always been towards her. He has never missed a chance to take care of her, and she, not in the least, took his kind actions for granted. She ate the eggs and drank the milk, but wasn’t able to finish when they finally arrived at the hospital.

Yan Heng turned off the car ignition, quietly sitting on the seat as he waited for her to finish. Yisheng, seeing her Senior waiting for her, hastily consumed the egg, then immediately swallowed the second egg in one bite. Yan Heng stared at her ink black eyes, then her bulging cheeks, and was left dumbfounded. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Senior, quickly!” Looking at her watch, it was almost 45, another 15 minutes and she’ll be late. She hastily got off the car, meanwhile Yan Heng was still sitting, his eyes staring at Yisheng’s skirt. He thought that Yisheng’s back seemed like a yellow wet cake, and could not help but laugh.

Yisheng met Yan Heng’s gaze, and knocked on the car’s window, “Senior, I’ll go in to report first, you hurry up too.” Having said that, she immediately ran to the hospital. Yan Heng helplessly stroked his forehead, thinking of how humorous she is. His Junior Sister truly is simple-minded.

The hospital’s new main building had a total of 27 floors. As Yisheng searched for the Head Nurse in the 16th floor, held tightly in her hand was her nurse’s report card. The Head Nurse was in her forties, a plump woman wearing red lipstick with notable features, and bearing a demeanor that seemed a bit harsh. The Head Nurse read her report card, and then curiously gave her a head-to-toe.

Her stern face suddenly softens into a smile, “Ye Yisheng?”

“Yes.” Yisheng said, puzzled. The Head Nurse chuckled: “Which clinic do you want to go to?”

“Ah?” Yisheng, baffled, was even more confused. She could choose her own section? The Head Nurse quickly explained: “You can go to whichever department is shorthanded.”

So that’s it. Yisheng nodded, understanding, then selected what she wanted, “I want to go into surgery.”

“I knew it.”

Yisheng looked at the Head Nurse, befuddled by her response, and thinking of how she said the wrong thing again, she explained once again, “Surgery is good, surgical is good.”

The Head Nurse then said: “You’ll go into the Oncology Department. ”

“Good.” Yisheng gave her thanks and got into her department’s nurse uniform, instantly starting her first day of work.

B City’s affiliated hospital in the sub-provincial city is the most prestigious and renowned of the whole province. Generally, any doctor in surgical Oncology are said to be elites. Even the nurses were held to a high standard. Yisheng’s colleagues had at least a master’s degree, furthermore, they all were quite good looking. And according to her new colleague, Zhao Jixiang, the department had two branches: first was the elites, and the second was someone within the family.

Zhao Jixiang was one extremely lively little nurse, somewhat on the mischievous side, and graduated with an accelerated medical degree, she bluntly told Yisheng that she went through the back door to get into the Oncology Department. One of her mother’s relatives is the Deputy Director of the hospital, and spent a lot of money to get in.

Yisheng acknowledged this. In today’s society, money and connections are important. Regarding how she got into the Oncology Department, she also knew a thing or two. She is not so naïve as to think that she’s an elite. Although she has a master’s degree and her university had a bit of fame. However, her performance on the other hand, wasn’t too good, her being an elite was out of the question. She could also guess from the Head Nurse’s expressions.

Also her Senior is a golden turtle, driving an expensive car, what is his ident.i.ty? She can not help but to have a “jack of all trades,” wanting to ask Zhao Jixiang, but the results were unthinkable…

Zhao Jixiang blinked three times, “Do you know this doctor?”

Yisheng: “He’s my Elder Brother.”

Zhao Jixiang, dragged her out and hid in a corner to talk “My G.o.d, are you sure Yan Heng of our hospital is your Elder Brother?”

“Yes.” Yisheng gave a determined look.

“Amen!” Zhao Jixiang faced towards the mural cross, her hands clasped together, with a reverent look, “Allah ah, how could you treat us weak little sheeps like this?”

Yisheng was baffled! Zhao Jixiang, energetically held her hands towards her chest, “Ye Yisheng.”

“What?”

“Do you know what your Senior’s character is in this hospital?” Zhao Jixiang looked towards the heavens with a tearful mien.

“I don’t know.”

“You know that our hospital belongs to the tertiary hospital, right? In General, a surgeon his age is practically impossible, but this talented doctor isn’t only a great surgeon, his level is considered to be absolutely first-cla.s.s. A miracle!”

Her Senior was truly inhuman. In college, he partic.i.p.ated in several medical studies and won many awards.

Zhao Jixiang suddenly in high spirits, began to talk again, “Our hospital has always been part of the elites, known for its best three: great doctors, amiable atmosphere, and the female nurses. Of course we rush, but unfortunately during work, there’s no time to chat, and no one dares to act rashly.” Having said that, Zhao Jixiang turns depressed all of a sudden.

Yisheng could not help but inwardly throw up, knowing that her Elder Brother had so many suitors. Zhao Jixiang’s expression turns into one with joy, and she glances at her thoughtfully. Yisheng then asked: “Do you want me to help you with matchmaking?”

“What?” Zhao Jixiang was shocked, “I’ll back out, there’s a pile of female wolves in the post. Me, daring to covet? You don’t know how viscous the nurses are in Oncology, they could tear you to pieces. Which means you’d better stay away from your Senior. Don’t let the gang of female wolves know about this.”
