Who can I ask for Senior Brother Shimâs phone number? Teacher Ren? Teacher Ren might not know. Ask Senior Brother Yu or Senior Cao? No. She doesnât want everyone to know about her business.
A person popped into her mind. Xie Wanying looked down and found Boss Zhangâs phone number in her contacts.
She, the stubborn one, decided to risk it.
The phone rang a few times.
As soon as someone answered, Teacher Luâs questioning voice came through: "Whoâs calling you?"
"A colleague from work." Zhang Huayao dodged his mother and went to the balcony.
"What kind of colleagueâs call do you need to take behind my back?" Teacher Lu found her sonâs behavior sneaky and was filled with suspicion.
Zhang Huayao closed the balcony door to keep his mother from hearing and asked, "Whatâs up?"
Boss Zhang has a very tight schedule. Xie Wanying dared not waste his time, so she quickly said, "Teacher Zhang, Iâd like to ask for Teacher Shimâs phone number."
After all that, it turns out she wasnât looking for him, the boss, but was searching for Shim Youhuan.
Zhang Huayaoâs lips twitched as he said, "You all have a great camaraderie among your juniors and seniors."
"Noâ"
"Why are you looking for him?"
"I want to consult him about a patientâs condition."
"Why consult him and not me?"
This straightforward, naĂŻve young girl on the line went silent. Zhang Huayao couldnât help but smile internally. She was already flustered by his questions. It showed that while she might have the skills, she wasnât one to be articulate. It was just such people he preferred. Why waste skills on empty talk when energy should be focused on technical skills.
Not wanting to make it harder for her, Zhang Huayao gave her the phone number.
After obtaining Senior Brother Shimâs number, Xie Wanying repeatedly thanked Boss Zhang.
She then immediately called Senior Brother Shim.
The night deepened on her journey.
Shim Youhuan: "Junior Yingying?"
"Itâs me, Senior Brother Shim."
"Looking for me? Huh?"
Senior Brother Shim, the joker and troublemaker, seemed utterly dumbfounded. He couldnât understand why she would seek him out.
"Senior Brother Shim, did you previously receive an urgent consultation request at the Peopleâs Hospital in xx Province? A patient who suffered injuries from a car accident and had undergone lung repair surgery. The patient possibly requires urgent interventional surgery. His name is Xiao Shugang, do you remember him?" Xie Wanying explained the patientâs situation in detail.
Shim Youhuan: "Who is he to you?"
"Heâs my cousin."
Inside, Shim Youhuan was like: damn.
"Senior Brother, do you think he can only get a chance if heâs treated at Guo Zhi Hospital?"
"Heâs not able to make it here." As he said this, Shim Youhuan considered whether his response was too blunt, thinking to reassure his junior, "He can only be monitored at the current hospital, waiting for a suitable opportunity. The Peopleâs Hospital in their province has always been actively preparing. Once the opportunity arises, they will immediately take the necessary steps."
"My cousinâs situation canât wait."
Junior, you donât have to be so honest. Shim Youhuan felt like scratching his head.
"Senior Brother, how about I escort my cousin to Guo Zhi Hospital, would that be okay?"
"You escort?"
"Yes. Iâm taking a flight back to my hometownâs provincial capital to pick up my cousin. If you can confirm a bed at Guo Zhi Hospital, Iâll definitely get him there."
Ah, this junior has her heart set on saving her family. He couldnât bring himself to stop her. Though, he thought it unlikely to succeed. Both the Peopleâs Hospital and he were against the patient being transferred for treatment in the Capital at this moment for fear he might die on the way.
