3 Receiving a System! Could it be that the heavens have finally started to favor him? (1/2)
N City, the capital city of the border province, had a desert climate. Summers here were scorching hot, while winters were chillingly icy. Right when Zhang Fan got off the train, he felt the heat wave of summer.
Zhang Fan had already contacted Kuake City Hospital's office. The hospital had helped to purchase the train and bus tickets for him as a small gift for him starting his job.
The bus was scheduled to leave at 6 pm. Zhang Fan had never traveled such a great distance before, so he didn't dare to tour N City, fearing that he would get lost.
He picked a random restaurant near the bus station to eat dinner, and then rested in a chair in the waiting area.
Zhang Fan almost vomited when he got on the bus. The bus was air-conditioned, so the windows were locked. Since it was midsummer, all sorts of body odors, stinky feet, perfume, and so on mixed together. These bitter scents caused the goat meat Zhang Fan just ate to heave up and down in his stomach.
The highway leading to Kuake City was still under construction. The bus took a road filled with small pits, similar to the one near Zhang Fan's hometown. Zhang Fan felt like his internal organs were about to fall out after a full night of being jostled up and down on the road.
After suffering for an entire night, he finally arrived in Kuake City. Kuake City Hospital director, Wang Hongmei, passionately welcomed Zhang Fan while picking him up.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
Kuake City Hospital was on the outskirts of the city. The hospital was four stories tall, while a smaller two-story building next to it acted as the employees' dormitory.
Zhang Fan was later to arrive than the other fresh graduates. Including him, there was a total of seven fresh graduates, four men and three women. Zhang Fan was the only one who was still single. The other six were already three couples who were in romantic relationship with each other.
These students were all fresh graduates from various medical schools in S Province. Some were from a university for ethnic nationalities, some were from a school focused on Chinese medicine, and some were from the same provincial medical school as Zhang Fan.
Everyone else had arrived one or two days ago. Hospital director Wang Hongmei then led everyone to the hospital superintendent's office. The superintendent was named Batu. He was a Mongolian, whom Zhang Fan privately considered to physically resemble Putin.
”All of our new coworkers have finally arrived today. Once Zhang Fan has finished moving in, we'll go later tonight to Kuake City Restaurant for a welcoming party to welcome all of our new coworkers!” Batu had a beaming expression as he welcomed everyone.
He then immediately spoke again to Wang Hongmei. ”Notify all the department heads and head nurses about the welcoming party tonight. Also, bring some of the new nurses over. It's perfect that tomorrow is the weekend, so take our fresh graduates to have fun out in the plains so that they can enjoy our beautiful scenery.” Batu's words were filled with energy, and he used plenty of body language. He appeared to be a person used to being in a position of authority.
Zhang Fan's assigned roommate was named Li Hui. The other two male medical students rooming together were named Guo Qiliang and Juma Bieke.
Guo Qiliang was from the Sibe ethnic minority, while Juma Bieke was from the Kazakh minority. Both had graduated from a medical school for ethnic minorities. Li Hui was ethnic Han, and had graduated from a medical school focusing on Chinese medicine. In order to be together with his college girlfriend, he had agreed with her that both of them would sign work contracts with Kuake City Hospital.
Since the three female medical students were already the girlfriends of Guo Qiliang, Juma Bieke, and Li Hui, Zhang Fan didn't pay any attention to the girls. He could only wonder if he had a chance with the female hospital director, Wang Hongmei.
Li Hui was tall, skinny, and very friendly. He helped Zhang Fan to clean up his new bed. The bed had been newly purchased by the hospital.
Right after cleaning up, Li Hui brought out a famous cigarette brand from the border province and offered a cigarette to Zhang Fan.
Although Zhang Fan wasn't a smoker, he didn't refuse, as this was their first meeting, and they would be working together along with being roommates.
Li Hui lit up Zhang Fan's cigarette, sat down on his own bed, and made a comment to Zhang Fan. ”Hey bro, you graduated from a top school. How come you also came here to such a remote place?”
”What top school? Maybe people from other provinces don't know, but you also graduated from a school in our L City. Don't you know that my medical school was a third-rate school that was only absorbed into the top-level college this year? Please don't joke around with me like that. So, are you focused only on Chinese medicine, or do you also do western medicine?” Zhang Fan chuckled as he responded.
”Both Chinese and western medicine. Not much of either, really. Sigh, it was such a headache. For my final exams, I had to take exams related to both Chinese and western medicine. But in the end, the only job openings I could find were only for western medicine, damn it all. Not only that, I only learned the basics of both Chinese and western medicine.”
”It's all the same. I only learned western medicine, but I still only know the basics.”
