777 Pick-up (1/2)
At Yun Hua Airport, a row of young ladies in blouses and shorts waited as they chatted and laughed. That made travelers lift their cameras to take photos of them.
Doctor Zhou lay on the bench at the terminal in a sickly fashion, and he was so lazy that it was as if he had been beaten up to the point that his head was dizzy.
Normally, in the hospital, when Doctor Zhou put on his white coat, he could still receive some attention, so Doctor Zhou also paid attention to his personal image. However, when he changed to his casual clothes outside, no one would look at him, so Doctor Zhou could not be bothered to take care of his image anymore.
In fact, many doctors liked to stay in the hospital because of their white coat and because people would notice them.
If someone became a doctor and put on a white coat, then his sense of accomplishment in the hospital would be thousands of times higher than when he was in the outside world. This was especially so when a surgeon stood in the operating theater. He was a god by then, and when he stepped out of the operating theater, he also existed like an archangel who attracted countless gazes and solved numerous problems.
Many people said that the happiest time in a person's life was when he or she became a parent, and it was especially so when the child knew how to call their parent father or mother. However, doctors did not normally go home, because when someone became a doctor, put on their white coat, and stood in the hospital, he was a father for many people.
However, when a doctor took off the white coat and stepped out of the hospital, the first feeling he had was relaxation, and it would be followed secretly by dejectedness.
This was like the doctor whose name was not remembered by people due to his normal looks and was currently sitting beside Doctor Zhou. When he did not wear his white coat, he was not a very eye-catching person. Even if he wanted to be a background board, he was not qualified.
”Doctor Ling is coming soon, right?” he grumbled in boredom before he asked, ”Why are we needed to be here to welcome him? This should be done by the administration.”
”Will Department Director Huo be confident in passing him to the Medical Affairs Department?” Doctor Zhou asked lackadaisically, then he said, ”And do you have anything to do?”
Yun Hua Hospital had upgraded its Emergency Department to an Emergency Medical Center, and its direct benefit was the increase in its authorized personnel and funding. They also had more allocated housemen and interns compared to the past. Although the number of patients increased, the doctors' average pressure had been reduced as well.
However, it was impossible to say they were not busy. The doctor whose name was not remembered by people due to his normal looks was now a senior resident doctor. He snorted boldly and say, ”Even if I'm not busy, I can also do something else and treat a few patients.”
”You should really treat a few more patients. When Ling Ran is back, he will sweep away all your patients in a few days. In the future, patients might become rare animals. ” As Doctor Zhou spoke, he laughed and before he said languidly, ”I really miss the days when Ling Ran was in the hospital…”
The doctor whose name was not remembered by people due to his normal looks rolled his eyes, but he could not deny what Doctor Zhou had said was right.
In the next second, he said in a low voice, ”I noticed that Doctor Ling's sleeping time is getting shorter. Do you think there is anything wrong with him?”
Doctor Zhou pursed his lips. ”Aren't you a doctor? You can look out for him.”
”I'm not qualified.” The doctor whose name was not remembered by people due to his normal looks smiled an empty smile. ”Nowadays, when I go for ward rounds, if the rooms are slightly crowded, I'll even be scolded by the nurse, and they tell me that interns should stand at the back. They think I am a newcomer.”
Doctor Zhou was confused and said, ”When there is a crowd, why would you stand in front of the hospital bed?”
”I was… j-just there for fun, okay!” The doctor whose name was not remembered by people due to his normal looks showed a face that he was unhappy, but nobody cared.
Zhao Leyi slowly walked over and interrupted both of them by saying, ”I've asked the airport officers. They said if we want to pick up people, we can go to the front or go straight to the front of the runway.”
Doctor Zhou was impressed. He stood up and said, ”Old Zhao, well done. You know so many people. It's awesome.”
”They took a private jet over, so the place for pick-up is different than ours.” Zhao Leyi said in displeasure, ”What is Old Huo thinking? Ling Ran is back, but why kick up a fuss and make us pick him up?”
It was the same question. The doctor whose name was not remembered by people due to his normal looks immediately turned around and looked at Doctor Zhou to see how he was going to answer.
Doctor Zhou ignored that gaze. He smiled and could not be bothered to reply.
He guessed Zhao Leyi understood Huo Congjun's meaning.
Forget about why Ling Ran was out this time, what he encountered and his work in Brazil received many high praises and compliments after news of it was passed back to the country. So, Huo Congjun had to push Ling Ran up to a pedestal.
