Chapter 3: Receiving a System! Could it be that the heavens have finally started to favor him?
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
N City, the capital city of the border province, had a desert climate. Sumrs here were scorching hot, while winters were chillingly icy. Right when Zhang Fan got off the train, he felt the heat wave of sumr.
Zhang Fan had already contacted Kuake City Hospital’s office. The hospital had helped to purchase the train and bus tickets for him as a small gift for him starting his job.
The bus was scheduled to leave at 6 pm. Zhang Fan had never traveled such a great distance before, so he didn’t dare to tour N City, fearing that he would get lost.
He picked a random restaurant near the bus station to eat dinner, and then rested in a chair in the waiting area.
Zhang Fan almost vomited when he got on the bus. The bus was air-conditioned, so the windows were locked. Since it was midsumr, all sorts of body odors, stinky feet, perfu, and so on mixed together. These bitter scents caused the goat at Zhang Fan just ate to heave up and down in his stomach.
The highway leading to Kuake City was still under construction. The bus took a road filled with small pits, similar to the one near Zhang Fan’s hotown. Zhang Fan felt like his internal organs were about to fall out after a full night of being jostled up and down on the road.
After suffering for an entire night, he finally arrived in Kuake City. Kuake City Hospital director, Wang Hongi, passionately welcod Zhang Fan while picking him up.
Kuake City Hospital was on the outskirts of the city. The hospital was four stories tall, while a smaller two-story building next to it acted as the employees’ dormitory.
Zhang Fan was later to arrive than the other fresh graduates. Including him, there was a total of seven fresh graduates, four n and three won. Zhang Fan was the only one who was still single. The other six were already three couples who were in romantic relationship with each other.
These students were all fresh graduates from various dical schools in S Province. So were from a university for ethnic nationalities, so were from a school focused on Chinese dicine, and so were from the sa provincial dical school as Zhang Fan.
Everyone else had arrived one or two days ago. Hospital director Wang Hongi then led everyone to the hospital superintendent’s office. The superintendent was nad Batu. He was a Mongolian, whom Zhang Fan privately considered to physically resemble Putin.
“All of our new coworkers have finally arrived today. Once Zhang Fan has finished moving in, we’ll go later tonight to Kuake City Restaurant for a welcoming party to welco all of our new coworkers!” Batu had a beaming expression as he welcod everyone.
He then imdiately spoke again to Wang Hongi. “Notify all the departnt heads and head nurses about the welcoming party tonight. Also, bring so of the new nurses over. It’s perfect that tomorrow is the weekend, so take our fresh graduates to have fun out in the plains so that they can enjoy our beautiful scenery.” Batu’s words were filled with energy, and he used plenty of body language. He appeared to be a person used to being in a position of authority.
Zhang Fan’s assigned roommate was nad Li Hui. The other two male dical students rooming together were nad Guo Qiliang and Juma Bieke.
Guo Qiliang was from the Sibe ethnic minority, while Juma Bieke was from the Kazakh minority. Both had graduated from a dical school for ethnic minorities. Li Hui was ethnic Han, and had graduated from a dical school focusing on Chinese dicine. In order to be together with his college girlfriend, he had agreed with her that both of them would sign work contracts with Kuake City Hospital.
Since the three female dical students were already the girlfriends of Guo Qiliang, Juma Bieke, and Li Hui, Zhang Fan didn’t pay any attention to the girls. He could only wonder if he had a chance with the female hospital director, Wang Hongi.
Li Hui was tall, skinny, and very friendly. He helped Zhang Fan to clean up his new bed. The bed had been newly purchased by the hospital.
Right after cleaning up, Li Hui brought out a famous cigarette brand from the border province and offered a cigarette to Zhang Fan.
Although Zhang Fan wasn’t a smoker, he didn’t refuse, as this was their first eting, and they would be working together along with being roommates.
Li Hui lit up Zhang Fan’s cigarette, sat down on his own bed, and made a comnt to Zhang Fan. “Hey bro, you graduated from a top school. How co you also ca here to such a remote place?”
“What top school? Maybe people from other provinces don’t know, but you also graduated from a school in our L City. Don’t you know that my dical school was a third-rate school that was only absorbed into the top-level college this year? Please don’t joke around with like that. So, are you focused only on Chinese dicine, or do you also do western dicine?” Zhang Fan chuckled as he responded.
“Both Chinese and western dicine. Not much of either, really. Sigh, it was such a headache. For my final exams, I had to take exams related to both Chinese and western dicine. But in the end, the only job openings I could find were only for western dicine, damn it all. Not only that, I only learned the basics of both Chinese and western dicine.”
“It’s all the sa. I only learned western dicine, but I still only know the basics.”
“Which departnt are you intending on joining? Yesterday, I heard soone from the hospital say that all of their departnts are really lacking in personnel, so we don’t need to take turns. We can just join whatever departnt we like. I think I’ll join the internal dicine departnt. How about you, Zhang Fan?”
Kuake City Hospital had two internal dicine departnts. Internal departnt #1 was focused on breathing, digestion, and the heart. Internal departnt #2 was focused on internal secretions and infections. It was unknown why the hospital didn’t put breathing and infections together instead.
Li Hui had already done his research on Kuake City Hospital. He wanted to go to one of the internal dicine departnts. If Zhang Fan also wanted to go to an internal dicine departnt, Li Hui would choose the one that Zhang Fan didn’t, out of deference to Zhang Fan technically having graduated from a top-level school.
“I’d like to go to the surgery departnt, especially orthopedic surgery.” Zhang Fan knew that his fundantal knowledge was only average at best. The internal dicine departnt would require a greater amount of fundantal knowledge.
After chatting for a while, Guo Qiliang and Juma Bieke also entered their room. After the four then started chatting, Wang Sha, who was Li Hui’s girlfriend, also ca in.
“All of you are still chatting? Why haven’t you finished putting away your things? Director Wang just called and told us to go downstairs. It’s about ti for our welcoming dinner. Let’s go already.” Wang Sha was rather short, but had a pretty voice.
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly went downstairs. Two ambulances from the hospital were downstairs, waiting to take everyone to the restaurant.
Director Wang waved from one ambulance at everyone. “Let’s hurry up and get going. The superintendent has already set out.”
Superintendent Batu’s car was a brand-new Hyundai Elantra. If the hospital needed to receive an important figure like a politician on occasion, the superintendent would typically use his personal car to pick them up instead of an ambulance.
Kuake City Restaurant was a restaurant attached to a hotel chosen by the local city council. Any governnt organizations here typically would co to this hotel restaurant in order to treat their subordinates. After Zhang Fan and the others entered, they saw that many people were already sitting at the tables.
The dical students were all fresh graduates with very little experience in society. They had also almost never attended such parties before, so all of them stood there at the door, not knowing what to do.
Batu stood up while chuckling as he spoke to Director Wang. “Our dear lady in charge, please assign seats to everyone. Have the n and won sitting across from each other. There’s three couples, so please don’t make any mistakes with matching them.” Everyone chuckled along together with him.
The food arrived quickly. The main course arrived soon after the appetizers, but since the superintendent hadn’t said anything about eating yet, not a single person touched their chopsticks.
After the first main dish arrived, Batu raised his wineglass and gave a small speech. “No matter if you’re a veteran at our hospital or a fresh college graduate, being able to sit here together like this is a gift from the heavens. I hope that our veterans will help our new college graduates so that they can quickly improve at their jobs and beco a part of our big family here at Kuake City Hospital. Let us use this glass of wine to wish that our new college graduates will find success in their jobs and lives here.” Batu then drank the wine in his wineglass.
Zhang Fan was filled with trepidation as he glanced at the filled wineglass in front of him. He almost never had alcohol, and even when he did, he only drank beer. He had never had white wine 1 before in his life.
According to the social custom in Kuake City, everyone was supposed to drink three glasses of wine before eating. After Zhang Fan drank three glasses of wine, everything that he saw began to swirl around him. Right when he picked up his chopsticks, intending on eating sothing to fight off the alcohol, he suddenly fainted as he collapsed and fell under the table.
Nobody here panicked as everyone was in the dical industry. Li Chengjun, the departnt head of internal dicine departnt #1, helped the unconscious Zhang Fan up and checked his pulse. Li Chengjun then chuckled while telling Batu, “The young man is simply drunk. He’ll be fine after going back to the hospital and receiving so hangover dicine.”
“It looks like our college students haven’t properly entered society. While they need to work hard, they also need to know how to drink alcohol. Little Chen, go ahead and take Zhang Fan to the ergency room.” Little Chen was the na of the ambulance driver.
After giving that order, Batu then raised his wineglass again. “Co now, young n and won. Drink another glass! How much you can drink represents how much you can work!”
On this night, all of the new college graduates were vanquished by the alcohol. It was just that Zhang Fan was the first to lose. Batu and the others had also intentionally made the college graduates drunk because they believed in the saying that one would reveal their true nature when drunk.
Zhang Fan had never had white wine before. He had drunk it too quickly, but he also woke up the quickest. When he woke up, he saw that he was lying on a bed in the ergency room, with all sorts of dical equipnt around him.
Although he was awake now, he had a bad headache. Zhang Fan was about to get up and go to the bathroom, when a screen suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The screen had a notification which read: [The Super dical Support System is now binding itself to you. The System is now beginning to download information.]
Zhang Fan then fainted again as he felt dizzy once more.
