866 Too Tame (1/2)

Cai Qiong looked worried while standing in the courtyard of the Bazhaixiang hospital branch.

The sky was as blue as a coastline, and the clouds were as white as the clouds shown in European and American films. Even the important people sent to the hospital smiled like those in Japanese films.

Everything went so smoothly that it made Cai Qiong tremble.

When was the last time things went so smoothly? Oh right, it was during his national college entrance test. Cai Qiong had successfully gained a life achievement of passing through a major test in his life with high marks that were 50 marks lower than his trial examination. Then… he was sent to medical school.

Even after twenty years, when Cai Qiong remembered the moment he received his letter of admission, he still felt a chill down his spine. He would not be in such a miserable stage if he did not study in medical school.

If he had some other job, he would not be tied down to the point that he could not leave.

\”Why is your face so horrible? Aren't things going quite smoothly?\” Chief Physician Li walked over with a smile.

It had been some time since he wanted to do a project related to public health. He never thought that supporting Bazhaixiang would provide him with a chance.

In the present, clinical medicine and public health were separate things. Experts who mastered both clinical medicine and public health such as R. Koch, Yan Fuqing, and Wu Liande could rarely be found after the seventies and eighties. However, Chief Physician Li was not prepared to become like those top-class doctors. With his current position, regardless of whether it was public health, preventative medicine, or disease control, a lot more trouble can end up happening as compared to clinical medicine.

Cai Qiong still looked so gloomy and said, \”It's going too smoothly? Aren't you scared?\”

\”What are you scared of?\”

\”Natural disasters and manmade disasters!\” Cai Qiong said seriously with a stern expression.

Chief Physician Li sighed. Honestly speaking, if he had a chance, he would have replaced Cai Qiong a long time ago, and it would not be for any other reason aside from getting a good omen.

Unfortunately, the road was not cleared yet, and it was impossible for the provincial hospital to send someone via helicopter just to get a good omen. He was not that important in the hospital, and the provincial hospital was not that rich as well.

When Chief Physician Li thought about this, he frowned. Since when did Yun Hua Hospital become that rich?

\”Has the office been cleared yet?\” Chief Physician Li decided frankly to just talk about the specifics of his work.

Cai Qiong's stared at the corner of the first floor and said, \”We have the middle-aged ladies hired by Yunli to work for us. All those couches have been removed. They're cleaning up the place right now.\”

\”We've received all the items required for an office?\”

\”The Bazhaixiang branch hospital lent us some, and Yunli gave us another batch. It's sufficient for the time being.\” Cai Qiong looked solemn.

\”Isn't that pretty…?\” The chief physician wanted to praise Cai Qiong but he held back when he saw his face.

\”I remembered that things went quite smoothly during my wedding.\” Cai Qiong stared at Chief Physician Li, and there was a warning tone in his voice. Plus, his words seemed to hold a serious reminder. \”My matchmaking and marriage were quite smooth. The weather was good as well. There was not a single cloud in sight, and the weather was neither too hot nor cold. My child was born smoothly as well. Without needing my help, she found someone with good genes to father her child…\”

Chief Physician Li did not want to listen anymore. He coughed and said, \”Old Cai, let us talk about the work first. Um… when will the disinfectants arrive?\”

\”They've already arrived, and they've been sent to the warehouse,\” Cai Qiong replied. \”They were brought over personally by Zuo Cidian from Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center.\”

\”Why is he so… enthusiastic?\” Chief Physician Li could hardly believe that.

Cai Qiong nodded and said, \”According to Zuo Cidian, Doctor Ling supports us in doing public health.\”

He spoke in the way parrots spoke when they tried to learn how to speak. He also had a frown on his face, making him look like Zuo Cidian.

Chief Physician Li did not laugh. He could not help but put his hands together and started to mutter.

Cai Qiong felt his heart thump, but a smile was seen on his face. \”Did something bad happen? Actually, it's okay to be unlucky sometimes. We can't always expect good things to happen…\”

\”We'll do what we need to do. It doesn't matter to us whether he supports us or not.\” Chief Physician Li quickly affirmed his beliefs, making himself confident. He had goals and ambitions when he came over to Bazhaixiang. He even prepared to be regarded with hostility or be dragged down in his work. Now, Chief Physician Li at least had official support, and for him, that was not really a bad thing.

Cai Qiong was very disappointed. He gazed into the distance, and no one knew what he was thinking.
