Dr. Chung’s 90s

Chapter 205 Bad News

Zhong Yu subconsciously looked at the expressions of the four people present. Cai Yizhong happened to meet her eyes. His voice was slightly tight and he said:
"Does the dean plan to decide on the candidate for the office director today?"

Guo Pengfei frowned. Everyone was very concerned about this matter, but Cai Yizhong was dismissed when he asked, which was a bit too hasty.

Fang Hao looked calm and didn't seem to care about the outcome, while Yu Jianshe sat back on his chair, looking like it had nothing to do with him.

No matter what Zhong Yu thinks in her heart, she will not put it on the table. She smiled and said calmly:
"I am very satisfied with the performance of both groups this time. I have noticed both Dr. Guo's ease and Dr. Fang's confidence. Of course, Dr. Cai and Dr. Yu also played a very important supporting role. You are the leader of the hospital. I feel relieved.”

Guo Pengfei was happier to hear Zhong Yu's affirmation and appreciation than to receive a bonus. Fang Hao was very pleased to know that she paid attention to the key points. Yu Jianshe was also very happy to hear this, but Cai Yizhong's mood was not comforted.

Zhong Yu didn't tell the truth, but she still said in a gentle voice: "To be honest, I struggled with the choice of director for a long time. When everyone's abilities are equal, after careful consideration, I finally decided to promote Dr. Guo to the director of the department."

When her words came out, some people were happy and some were worried. Guo Pengfei didn't have high hopes. He just wanted to work steadily. But since Zhong Yu entrusted him with an important task, he would definitely not refuse. He immediately expressed his position:
"Thank you, Dean, for your consideration. I will do my job responsibly and will not let you have any worries."

Zhong Yu nodded, and she said seriously: "I hope everyone can cooperate with Director Guo to make relevant work arrangements, and everyone will have a happy cooperation."

Yu Jianshe glanced at Cai Yizhong as if he were joking, and said in a loud voice:
"I am easy to discuss, and I will definitely cooperate with Director Guo fully."

What he said about Director Guo was very serious, as if he was deliberately irritating Cai Yi. Fang Hao touched his arm and told him to restrain himself, and then said: "Director Guo is careful and a veteran-level employee. I believe he can lead Let’s move forward together.”

Zhong Yu turned his head and looked at Cai Yizhong. Although his expression was solemn, he did not lose his sense of proportion. He smiled at the corner of his mouth, took the initiative to shake Guo Pengfei's hand and said, "Congratulations!"

Guo Pengfei was a little embarrassed. He said sincerely: "Thank you. We will cooperate well in the future. There will always be other opportunities..."

Before he finished speaking, Cai Yizhong interrupted: "You don't have to worry about me. I don't have to be the director. It's the same for you. I still have patients waiting for the sutures to be removed and discharged, so I'll go over there first."

Cai Yizhong greeted Zhong Yu before leaving. He was a mature and stable adult. This small setback in the workplace was nothing. Zhong Yu didn't think he needed any explanation.

After Cai Yizhong left, Fang Hao discussed another patient's surgical plan with Zhong Yu. Yu Jianshe had a different opinion with him and wanted to hear what Zhong Yu had to say. Guo Pengfei also joined the discussion with interest.

It can be seen that they really don't care about the director position, and they can put it down so quickly and devote themselves to a new round of work.

The four people came for an impromptu consultation. After careful discussion, they finally decided on the surgical plan before leaving. Not long after Guo Pengfei left, Zhong Yu heard a nurse making noises and calling Director Guo to treat him.

The hospital salary is high, so Guo Pengfei can feed himself and the whole family is not hungry. In addition, he stays in the hospital all day and has no other expenses, so he has a lot of savings and can treat guests to dinner without any pressure.

But he had his own concerns. He was afraid that Cai Yizhong would be unhappy if he invited Cai Yizhong to this meal, so he hesitated. Zhong Yu stood up and made a decision:
"Director Guo, please arrange a dinner tomorrow night. Let's take the opportunity to celebrate your promotion and have a good gathering."

If someone else had said this, Guo Pengfei might have objected, but when Zhong Yu said it himself, he agreed without hesitation.

Cai Yizhong was originally going to get medicine, but he stopped when he heard their movements, then turned and left.

He desperately wanted a promotion, not because he was under financial pressure and wanted a salary increase. He just wanted to show his results before his parents came over to show them that the decision he made was correct.

The matter had been settled and he should let it go. In order not to affect everyone's mood, he turned back to the consulting room and asked the nurse to help get the medicine.

During lunch, Guo Pengfei brought his lunch box to his office to eat with him. Cai Yizhong saw him coming and took a square stool from the side of the cabinet for him to sit on.

Guo Pengfei smiled and said: "The food for lunch today is quite rich. Is it to your liking?"

Cai Yizhong put a piece of broccoli into her mouth and said casually: "The food is okay, why are you here? Are you free?"

Guo Pengfei sat up straight, glanced at his face and said, "Are you... not angry?"

Cai Yizhong said expressionlessly: "In your eyes, am I just so small-minded?"

Guo Pengfei shook his head quickly and said seriously: "That's not what I meant. I know you care about the position of director. I'm worried that you have opinions about me or want to change jobs. Although you are a bit more thoughtful, you are quite reluctant to let go if you are used to cooperation. You left, I don’t want to work with anyone else again.”

Cai Yizhong chewed the rice in his mouth and said calmly:
"My wife's pregnancy is very obvious, and her due date is at the end of March next year. Do I have the right to be willful and impulsive if I have a family to take care of?"

Guo Pengfei was a little surprised and said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to be tied down by your family. If you are really unhappy, you vent it out to me. It will make you uncomfortable if you hold it in your heart."

Lieutenant Cai Yizhi put away the lunch box and said calmly:
"You don't have to worry about me. I will fight for what I want. Even if I miss it, I won't regret it. I have adjusted my mentality and will not delay my work. You don't have to do my ideological work."

Guo Pengfei knew that he was still angry, and it was best for him to digest it on his own. Guo Pengfei was not good at comforting people.

Cai Yizhong is approachable when working. Although he was expressionless during the treatment today, his mood was stable and he did not lose his temper randomly, so those who pried on him and wanted to see a joke were disappointed.

He was calm and calm until he got off work, but when he stepped into the house, the expression on his face couldn't be maintained. That face full of resentment made Xiangxiang look at him sideways.

She has a big belly now. In addition to preparing for exams, she cleans, cooks and washes clothes at home. She does these little things with ease, allowing Cai Yizhong to eat delicious meals, wear clean clothes and have a sense of presence as a child when she comes home from work. Getting stronger and stronger, the relationship between the couple is slowly easing.

Cai Yizhong sat slumped on the sofa, rubbing her temples weakly. Xiangxiang stood in front of him holding her waist and asked cautiously:
"Are you too tired today? Let's have dinner after you have rested?"

Cai Yizhong was not an incompetent and angry man. He exhaled a thick breath and said, "You get hungry quickly because of your special situation. Let's eat first."

Xiangxiang still held a piece of paper in her hand, she hesitated and said:
"Don't be in a hurry to eat. The results of the public institution recruitment exam are out and I'm shortlisted... I have to have an interview next week." Cai Yizhong didn't expect that she could pass the exam in one go. She was surprised to hear the news, but she can live a good life at home now that she has a formal job. Feeling more relaxed, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stretched out his hand to pull her to sit next to him, took the piece of paper from her and read it.

Cai Yizhong was very concerned about this matter and asked after consideration:
"What do you need to prepare for the interview? Do you want to find a teacher to help you?"

Xiangxiang said softly: "I need to buy a set of formal clothes. Teachers don't have to look for them. Uncle Zhang above us has been an interviewer. I plan to ask him for advice. I also participated in this type of interview when I was in Haishi. , and you still have some experience, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

Since their divorce, both of them have matured a lot, and they have been constantly adjusting their ways of getting along, and finally reached a relatively harmonious state.

Cai Yizhong looked at her bulging belly and frowned: "You are pregnant at this time. Will the employer refuse to hire you because of the child?"

His worries are not unreasonable. Since the recruitment information has been released, the company must be in a hurry to hire people. Pregnancy and childbirth take a lot of time.

Xiangxiang also has this worry, but the existence of the child is an established fact and she can't do anything about it. She was shortlisted based on her own ability. Whether she wants her or not depends on the employer's attitude.

She thought openly and comforted Cai Yizhong: "Let this matter take its course. Regardless of whether you can be hired or not, this is a very valuable experience. Just treat it as preparation for the next time."

She was not eye-catching when she was in Guangfu Hospital, but she was still very confident in such a selection test. She was already good-looking and her pregnancy added some maternal glory, which made people unable to take their eyes away.

Cai Yizhong lowered his eyelids, calmed down his restless emotions, and then said hesitantly: "The director of the department has been chosen...I lost the election."

Xiangxiang's expression was slightly surprised. She subconsciously patted the back of his hand soothingly and said more considerately:
"What does it matter? There are so many people in the hospital either you or him. If you lose the position of director, it will not affect the number of patients you receive. Will our family's income be reduced as a result?"

Cai Yizhong shook his head. He could still maintain the basic expenses of the family and ensure a high-quality life for his wife, children, and children.

Xiangxiang said lightly: "Isn't that enough? In my opinion, the hospital's development prospects are very good, and it will definitely expand in scale in the future. You may wish to pay attention to A'yu's employment standards. Next time we will continue to work hard, and we will always wait for a good opportunity. "

The more Cai Yizhong cared about it, the deeper he got into it. Naturally, Wu Xiangxiang saw it more clearly from the perspective of a bystander. Hearing her explanation, he felt much better.

"My mother will come over to take care of you in a while. She has high expectations for me. She was still upset when I changed jobs without her consent. She might be disappointed if she found out that I was not promoted."

Xiangxiang said calmly: "You probably haven't mentioned your salary to her. If she knew that your current income is more than three times what you were before, she would definitely not have any objection."

The purpose of work is to make money. Cai Yizhong's income is already not low, so what else do they have to care about? Cai Yizhong shook his head and laughed. He was putting the cart before the horse.

The shadow that had been pressing on his head just dissipated. Only then did he feel relieved. He helped Xiangxiang stand up and said:
"Let's go eat. I guess you're hungry too."

Xiangxiang smiled and nodded. She was very hungry when she was cooking and had already eaten to fill her stomach. Now she was not very hungry, but she did not refuse and went to eat with Cai Yizhong.

Because Ji Xueli had a major surgery that would take a long time, he asked Zhong Yu to take a taxi back after get off work.

It happened that Chu Jianwen had no other arrangements, so he asked her to have dinner together. Seeing that he had enough time, Zhong Yu suggested that he go to her new house to have a look. Chu Jianwen simply went with her. The decoration of the new house was nearing completion and the house would be handed over soon.

Chu Jianwen walked around inside and outside, and finally stood at the entrance garden and sighed:
"How comfortable it is for you to live alone in this house. When I save enough money, I will buy such a big house. Then I will move out with Zheng Jun and live alone. From now on, we will leave everything to them alone."

Zhong Yu was looking at the workmanship details of the wine cabinet. Hearing this, he asked in confusion: "Does Mr. Zheng have a house?"

Chu Jianwen said with a look of disgust: "His house is only over 100 square meters, and the wardrobe is not enough for me to put clothes. It can only be a temporary residence during the transitional period. It is definitely not feasible for me to live there permanently."

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Zhong Yu can completely understand her thoughts. She smiled and said:
"You and Zheng Jun both have low incomes, and your parents can afford it. It's easy to move to a bigger house."

Chu Jianwen did not refute her words. She held her chin and said half-jokingly:
"How about I buy a house in this community, and then we can become neighbors and have dinner dates together from time to time. How great~"

Zhong Yu was unsure: "I don't know if there are any vacant houses around here. You can ask a real estate agent. The environment of this community is quite good. You can discuss it with Zheng Jun."

Chu Jianwen said of course: "I haven't married Zheng Jun yet, so I don't need his consent to buy a house. I can decide this matter myself."

Zhong Yu said with a smile: "You are very powerful. If you have money, it would be good to buy a house as pre-marital property. You will still have a place to go if there are any special circumstances in the future."

Chu Jianwen thought about what she said carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

"Both Zheng Jun and I are prone to quarrels and fights when our tempers arise. It's really a good idea to have my own nest where we can have a place to go when we quarrel and bicker without having to listen to my mother's nagging."

She was already 30% interested in buying a house. When Zhong Yu said this, the 30% turned into 90%. She really had to buy this house. Anyway, her parents and elders had given her a lot of pocket money over the years, and her salary I have also saved a lot. It is difficult to buy a house as big as Zhong Yu, but a smaller one is still possible.

Zhong Yu shook her head and laughed. She couldn't change her character of saying that wind is like rain, so she urged:
"You should consider this matter yourself. I'm hungry. Let's go eat quickly."

Chu Jianwen's attention was immediately diverted, and she said happily: "I'm telling you, I found a restaurant that tastes really good. Theirs..."

Zhong Yu and Chu Jianwen never had any fun together. The two of them had this meal until after eight o'clock. If Zhong Yu hadn't been sleepy and wanted to go home, she would still be chattering.

Ji Xueli was already at home when Zhong Yu entered the room. He was sitting on the sofa with only a dim wall lamp turned on. He couldn't see the expression on his face clearly and felt a little lonely.

Zhong Yu asked softly while changing his shoes: "What happened? You don't seem to be in a good condition."

Ji Xueli wiped his face and said in a hoarse voice:
"Ayu, my dad called me and told me that my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer..."
