29 Donst be too greedy (1/2)
This was Zhang Fan's first time ever riding on an airplane. He had a window seat too. However, after the fresh sensation wore off, he felt nothing but endless fatigue.
”Sir, sir, the airplane has already arrived at your destination.” Zhang Fan opened his eyes and looked around.
”Really? That was quite quick!” He also needed to transfer planes. He hurriedly grabbed his luggage, and alighted the plane.
The border province in June was incredibly hot. While Bluebird City was also hot, there was at least the sea breeze there, and rain was also common in its area. Here in the border province, the heat was just like the bottom of a heated frying pan.
The plane from Bluebird City to the border province's capital was a large aircraft that wasn't apt to suffer from turbulence at all. However, the plane from the border province's capital to Chasu City was a tiny plane capable of holding only 30 or so passengers. Even the cute stewardess was replaced by a middle-aged steward.
The flight in the small airplane was incredibly turbulent. Zhang Fan felt like he was riding on a tractor from his childhood. He was incredibly tense, and felt like he had zero control over his own life or death. Riding on a small airplane made him feel like he was a patient on the operating table, feeling the fear of not being able to control one's own life or death.
When the plane arrived at Chasu City, Batu gave Zhang Fan quite a lot of face by personally coming to pick him up. Batu was driving the Toyota Cruiser Prado that he had previously loaned to Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan had returned the car's key to Batu before leaving for Bluebird City.
”You should be fine for the examination. You don't need to return to Kuake City today, since the examination will be held tomorrow at Chasu City Hospital.” Batu wasn't in a hurry to talk about his own matters quite yet, as Zhang Fan was about to take his exam tomorrow.
On the next day's exam, nice! Zhang Fan's exam proctor coincidentally happened to be Director Gao Shijun. Although Zhang Fan wasn't afraid of the practical skills exam, he was still quite happy to meet someone he was familiar with. Zhang Fan ended up getting full points for the standard movements and medical case diagnosis sections of the exam. Although he didn't do as well on the electrocardiogram and ultrasound diagnosis, this didn't affect his overall score too much. Since this was an exam, Gao Shijun didn't say anything to Zhang Fan, but he did make a hand gesture for Zhang Fan to call him later.
After the exam, Zhang Fan waited outside the exam area for half an hour. Director Gao then came out.
”You little brat, I haven't seen you at all since your previous brilliant flash of light. I think you probably passed the practical skills exam, didn't you? Your hospital must be busy?” Director Gao didn't know about Zhang Fan going to Bluebird City to further his skills there.
”I'm sorry for not contacting you for so long, Director Gao. There should be no problem with my exam. I've been studying and working in Bluebird City for the past few months.”
”Ah, I see. It's good for you to study elsewhere. If you stay too long in a tiny hospital like Kuake City Hospital, your field of vision will become limited. Come, let's have a meal together and chat as we eat.”
”Director, I apologize, but I must fly back to Bluebird City again tomorrow. I'm sorry that I can't have a meal with you today. I brought some dried foods from Bluebird City, though. I was going to go to your hospital to give this to you as a present.”
”Thanks, although you don't need to next time. It's not convenient for you to bring things over thousands of kilometers. Alright, I won't make you stay today, then. Go ahead and busy yourself, and read as many books as you can. Wait for the written exam results to come out in October. You definitely have to pass it!”
”Okay. I have to go now, Director Gao.” Gao Shijun counted as Zhang Fan's first teacher on his path of medicine.
Batu hadn't returned to Kuake City last night, either. He was waiting at the hotel for Zhang Fan.
”It seems unlikely that I'll be able to become Director of the Bureau of Public Health. Kang Hua has told me directly that the Kuake City Communist Party Committee has chosen another candidate for the position.”
”Then what will you do?”
”I'm going to have to find a politician from a bigger city to help me join a Class B hospital in another city. I really can't stay at Kuake City Hospital any longer.” Batu was rather afraid. Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Kuake City Hospital had purchased a new CT scanner, and Batu had received a significant kickback from the purchase, but after he received the money, Batu was no longer able to sleep well at night. He had taken a great deal of money for himself over the years as superintendent whenever the hospital had to construct a new building or purchase new equipment. It would become a serious problem if he didn't leave soon.
”What can I help you with, then?” Zhang Fan was an ordinary civilian. He didn't have any grand sense of what was right or wrong. He would simply pay back his favors and help anyone who treated him well.
”That Mrs. Wang you know, I did some research on her. Her husband is a high-ranking politician. My matter will be easy for him to deal with, all that's needed is a single sentence from him.”
”Okay, we'll go visit her right away. I just happened to bring some dried food back with me. Take some with you as well when you go.”
”This is no time for such a thing. I'm not in the mood. Give it all to Mrs. Wang for me.”
