24 Then lets compete in connections (1/2)
Back at Kuake City, Zhang Fan followed the unwritten rule of dividing the spoils equally. He split everything equally, apart from the Apple cell phone, and prepared to give it to Batu. ”I'll do the same as you and also wish you an early happy New Year's.” When Zhang Fan brought Batu to the latter's home, Zhang Fan tried to bring all these gifts into Batu's home.
”Forget it, I don't lack such things. Just put them all back in the car, and come in for a meal.” Batu refused to let Zhang Fan bring gifts inside, so Zhang Fan could only enter Batu's home empty-handed.
Batu's wife was quite pretty. She was also slender, a rarity among Mongolian women. Lunch was delicious hand-grabbed mutton. Zhang Fan scarfed down a huge plate.
”It's so nice to be young. I don't even want to cook when it's just my husband and myself,” Batu's wife commented to Zhang Fan.
”Your food is so delicious.” Zhang Fan's face was somewhat red as he felt like he had eaten too much!
”Are you going back to Chasu City again this afternoon?” Batu asked after Zhang Fan finished eating.
”Yeah. I feel like I'm becoming a professional driver. I've been driving so much every day, and barely get to do any surgeries.”
”Relax. You'll have plenty to do later. After New Year's, our border province is going to send some doctors to study and improve their skills. I'm choosing you from our surgery department.”
”Really!? How long will it be for?”
”Our city government has already approved it. The study will last for about six months.”
After eating, Zhang Fan chatted for a while before preparing to go to Chasu City. Before he left, Batu handed a bag to Zhang Fan.
”You don't drink, so go ahead and smoke these over New Year's.”
”Superintendent Batu, this isn't appropriate. I was the one who was supposed to wish you a happy New Year's here.”
”Forget it, it's fine as long as you had the intention. You should hurry and go now.”
Even though Zhang Fan's car could no longer even be seen now, Batu kept standing still at his own door in a daze.
”Aren't you cold? You didn't even wear a jacket. I feel like you've been here for almost half an hour! Why don't you come in?” Batu's wife came out to see what was going on.
”I think that this youngster now knows someone high-ranked in the municipal Communist Party committee. In the future, I might need to rely on him... more than he relies on me.”
”Is that so? Then how about inviting him over for New Year's Eve? He doesn't have anywhere else to go here, does he?”
”Whether we have a good relationship or not won't depend on a single day like New Year's Eve. Alright, let's go in, it's cold outside.”
Since Zhang Fan had received so many gifts over the New Year's holiday, he sold off all the smoke cartons he had accumulated so far and made quite a bit of money. Since he already had a cell phone, he mailed the Apple cell phone to his younger sister, and then wired some money to his parents.
Zhang Fan spent New Year's Eve at the hotel in Chasu City. Although this was rather pitiful, Zhang Fan had adamantly refused Wang Qian's invitation to spend New Year's Eve at her home. He felt that it would be completely improper for him to spend New Year's Eve and get in the way of someone else's family gathering!
After the New Year was over and the hospital resumed normal work shifts, Batu posted Kuake City Hospital's list of individuals who would get to study and improve their skills at a better hospital. Four slots were allotted to Kuake City Hospital, with one each for internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics. Zhang Fan was given the slot for the surgery category, while for the other three categories, the department directors were given this chance.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
