Chapter 890: Chapter 892: Pointing at the Mulberry Tree to Curse the Locust Tree
At this moment, Xiao Yifei happened to come out of a ward and saw her sitting there. He didn’t initially intend to go up and talk, but he caught her inquisitive gaze.
"You’re quite diligent, aren’t you? Starting to monitor me this early. Don’t worry, I won’t give you any trouble," Xiao Yifei walked over to her and looked down at her.
"I find you really difficult to understand. I have quite a few questions about you," said the beautiful inspector.
"If you can’t figure it out, don’t bother. It’s brain-wracking. I have things to do, so I’ll go now. Keep supervising me." Xiao Yifei said and then strode away.
The inspector felt a bit bored hearing Xiao Yifei talk like this. How did she suddenly become interested in someone like him? Maybe she should go back to the command office and stay put.
And thus, Xiao Yifei began living a life always being monitored. The inspector didn’t appear often, but the feeling of being watched was always there. He even felt like someone was secretly watching him when he went to the bathroom.
He still hadn’t told Tang Rong what had happened, instead telling her that the hospital had been too busy recently and advised her not to visit him.
Actually, Tang Rong had already gotten used to it. She thought the current state between them was quite good; independent yet connected. This might be mature love. When Tang Rong was in love before, she wanted to stick with her boyfriend 24/7. Even when separated for ten minutes, she would send long texts to him.
Really, there wasn’t much important to say, yet every time there were many things they could talk about. But after being with Xiao Yifei, she no longer felt that way. When busy, she would even forget about Xiao Yifei’s existence. Only when she felt particularly tired would she remember there was someone she could rely on.
Perhaps this is growing up: at ages ten and twenty, we might hold love above the sky, deeming it more important than anything. But slowly, we understand there are many things in life more important than love awaiting our experience, and realize just love is far from enough in life. Love can disappear anytime, but money won’t.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yifei received a notice asking him to go to XX Hospital, the city’s most famous Chinese medicine hospital. He was told there was something important waiting for him. As the notice was sent via email, Xiao Yifei drove to the hospital mentioned in the mail with curiosity.
Of course, before leaving, he didn’t forget to call the police officer responsible for monitoring him to inform her of where he was going.
Once arrived, Xiao Yifei found the office mentioned in the email, knocked on the door, entered, and found quite a few doctors already seated inside. He recognized a few faces, but most were unfamiliar to him.
In the past, whenever Xiao Yifei came to such scenes, Dean Qian would bring him along. There was no need to worry about anything; even if any troubles arose, Dean Qian would help solve them. So, Xiao Yifei felt a bit uneasy since it was his first time attending such an event alone.
Xiao Yifei silently said to himself, "When studying abroad, during the graduation ceremony, speaking as the Chinese representative in English on the podium didn’t make you nervous. Why are you hesitating now?"
Xiao Yifei took a deep breath, and seeing people inside looking at him, he had no choice but to address everyone, saying, "Hello everyone, I’m Xiao Yifei from Z Hospital."
After saying that, everyone only symbolically responded with a greeting. Feeling a bit awkward, Xiao Yifei casually found a seat a little further back and sat down.
"We urgently gathered everyone today. I received a notice from the higher-ups an hour ago, demanding we must find a solution for the virus within four days. So, this afternoon, we’re holding a simple seminar. Everyone is encouraged to speak out if they have any opinions or views."
Looking around, Xiao Yifei noticed many people started whispering. To be honest, although he had been in this city for several years, he didn’t know many people. The ones who came for the meeting today only seemed familiar, with only a few he could actually converse with.
Though everyone was whispering and seemed happy talking, none stood to loudly share their thoughts. Unfortunately, the speaker called on Xiao Yifei by name.
During school, our biggest fear was being called by name. Whenever the teacher said, "Now let’s pick a student to answer my question," we would habitually lower our heads, pretending to think seriously, while inwardly terrified, hoping our names wouldn’t be called.
Teachers seemed to purposely challenge us, often calling us to answer the questions we couldn’t. When hearing someone else’s name, we would secretly breathe a sigh of relief, grateful for escaping the ordeal.
In the meeting, it was evident that Xiao Yifei was the unlucky one. He was utterly unprepared for this meeting. If he had any useful ideas, he would have already acted on them rather than sitting here.
But now wasn’t the time to falter, so his mind quickly worked, sharing his recent research and findings, ending humbly, "These are just discoveries from my recent research, and there’s still no substantial breakthrough. In front of seniors, apologies for my inadequacy."
An old doctor of Chinese medicine immediately spoke after Xiao Yifei finished, "Young man, you’re impressive. To possess such strong professional knowledge at a young age, I find myself inferior!"
The praise from the doctor was so enthusiastic that Xiao Yifei felt embarrassed, responding, "You’re too kind. I’m just an ordinary doctor. Compared with everyone here, I have much to learn! I’m really embarrassed by your words."
Yet the atmosphere seemed obvious; many other doctors didn’t seem to agree with Xiao Yifei’s words, with some even having never glanced properly at him. Xiao Yifei was used to such treatment from other doctors, for it wasn’t the first time.
No matter how unreasonable something is, once you’ve experienced it enough times, you get accustomed to it. Xiao Yifei’s attitude changed from anger to indifference. Compared to those like Zheng Peng and Sun Xingyao who schemed behind others’ backs, such open criticism was preferable.
One shouldn’t fear those who criticize you up front but be wary of those who show one thing and do another behind your back. They smile at you, praising your abilities, but then stab you in the back. Those are the most dangerous people.
Afterward, other old Chinese medicine doctors spoke intermittently; originally, it was a seminar. Following Xiao Yifei, the discussion was quite enthusiastic. noveldrama
Then, an old Chinese medicine doctor said, "Although some presented excellent professional theories earlier, I feel it’s still of little use. We focus more on practice, where in medical operations, patients’ conditions may change daily. Even if you memorize textbook theories perfectly, it doesn’t mean much."
