Chapter 669 - 669 669 She will work hard

Chapter 669: [669] She will work hard Chapter 669: [669] She will work hard “I ran into her in the stairwell.” Now that they were chatting, Cao Yong took the opportunity to discuss the weekend plans with his junior, “I’ve made arrangements with her for you to come to my place for a meal this weekend. It’ll be livelier with several people together.”

Senior Cao truly cared for his junior sister, so much that he was afraid others might gossip if they found out, thus he placed his huge ‘light bulb’ self in the arrangement. Huang Zhilei acknowledged the task, replying loudly, “Understood, Senior Cao. I’ll definitely make time to come to your house this weekend.”

After instructing his junior and putting down his phone, Cao Yong passed by Tao Zhijie, who was standing at the entrance of the patient room.

Tao Zhijie’s eyes were fixed in the direction of the doctors’ office, his smiling eyes slightly stagnant, as if something unexpected had paused in his anticipation.

It was rare to see such an expression in his eyes, he who was known as the ‘Buddha’ among his peers.

Cao Yong glanced at the expression on his face, the corners of his lips curling slightly as if drawing a faint smile.

Not having failed to notice him, Tao Zhijie turned his head as though catching that hint of a smile on his face, his eyebrows gathered slightly, then he watched him walk further away before heading toward the doctors’ office.

Finally, like a cat that had stealthily emerged, Song Xueling, with both hands leisurely resting in his white coat pockets, watched the quiet glint in his eyes replay the scenes from the patient room like a time machine: Hmm, some situations seemed to require deep contemplation.

Tao Zhijie walked into the office.

Just as Xie Wanying looked up and saw him, she stood up and said, “Senior Tao, could you take a look at this preliminary list of dietary precautions and the activity and rest schedule I’ve made for him?”

“So soon?” Tao Zhijie smiled at her, remembering that she had discussed it with the patient and the fact that she acted quickly, immediately writing it down.

This wasn’t like a treatment plan that required consideration of medication and surgical details; it was relatively easy to write, so it didn’t take her much time. Xie Wanying handed over the rough draft she had written for her senior to review.

Tao Zhijie reached out and took it, finding beyond the graceful and pleasing handwriting on the paper, several key points were strikingly clear and conspicuous, which made his facial expression unconsciously take on a scholarly earnestness: “Did you flip through his medical record?”

“Yes,” Xie Wanying nodded, “I know it may seem like I broke a promise, but I will keep it a secret for him.”

“You haven’t broken any promises. You started your internship in this department today, so you’re one of the doctors treating him and you have the right to see his medical record,” Tao Zhijie refuted her statement.

The words of her senior undoubtedly encouraged her.

“Yes, Senior.” What Xie Wanying wanted to say was that she would definitely work hard, work hard to help her classmate recover quickly.

“His class monitor and other boys have been here, and it seemed like he wasn’t really listening to anyone. But today, he listened to what you said,” said Tao Zhijie, mentioning the fact and with an approving look in his eyes, complimented her, “You have good communication skills.”

No, her communication skills were poor. Xie Wanying thought if she were good at speaking, she wouldn’t be called stubborn.

It was almost time for work, and the office was filling up with doctors ready to attend the routine morning shift meeting. Looking around, most of the medical staff in the office today belonged to this department, with very few interns and residents, including Song Xueling and Xie Wanying, just a handful.

The senior staff scrutinized the two newcomers, seeming to try and discern if there was anything about the new members worth their attention.

Similarly, the newcomers who were formally reporting on their first day were secretly observing the department that seemed like a whole new world to them.
