Chapter 60: Chapter 60: The Hot Cake in the Departnt
The next day, Lin Dong went to work first, preparing to keep his appointnt after the workday ended.
Today, he was on day shift, whereas Sister Bai Jue was resting during the day and would work the night shift.
In the morning, he took the intern, Tan Ya, to rounds.
Currently, he was only in charge of one patient, the very one in the Special Care Ward—the Mayor of Fang City.
When Lin Dong arrived with Tan Ya, he found Doctor Thomas actually waiting at the door of the sickroom.
“Teacher, you have arrived…”
To Lin Dong’s surprise, Doctor Thomas was speaking in Chinese.
In his effort to learn Traditional Chinese dicine, he had gone out of his way to learn Chinese, and now he could speak a few simple phrases.
Lin Dong was speechless, wondering, had the old fart still not returned to his country?
Was he really planning to stay here and learn Traditional Chinese dicine from him?
Lin Dong felt helpless, not wanting to accept him as a student but also unable to send him away.
Doctor Thomas, seeing Lin Dong ignoring him, didn’t seem to mind at all.
Then he turned to Tan Ya, saying, “Sister, hello…”
Tan Ya was completely flustered. Did Doctor Thomas really an it?
Being addressed as ‘Sister’ by such an expert made her very uncomfortable.
“You… hello…” She replied sowhat hesitantly.
“Let’s start the rounds…” Lin Dong sighed and led the two into the Special Care Ward.
By now, the Mayor had woken up and was sitting bedside, reviewing docunts, with the First Lady of the city, Liu Yun, taking care of him.
Seeing Lin Dong enter with his group, the Mayor set down the docunts in his hand and said with a beaming smile, “Young Miracle Doctor, you’ve arrived.”
Lin Dong nodded and inquired about his condition.
anwhile, after a thorough check, he found no problems.
So Lin Dong said, “Mayor Fang, you have recovered. You can be discharged from the hospital today. I will take care of the discharge procedure for you.”
The Mayor’s face lit up with a smile, and he nodded in agreent. He was feeling extraordinarily comfortable, which is why he was reviewing docunts by the bed.
Soon, Lin Dong completed the discharge procedure for Mayor Fang.
When Mayor Fang was ready to be discharged, even the President and others ca over to see him off.
Huang Wude and his son Huang Hua also ca.
As the Director of their departnt, Director Qiao Bing naturally ca along as well.
As Mayor Fang was leaving, he said to President Zhou Likang:
“Old Zhou, this ti I truly owe it to your hospital’s Young Miracle Doctor Lin Dong. Otherwise, I would have lost my life here.”
President Zhou Likang of course understood what the Mayor ant and quickly said, “Mayor Fang, rest assured. Our hospital will definitely promote young and promising doctors like Miracle Doctor Lin Dong.”
“That’s good to hear,” Mayor Fang replied, smiling.
Before leaving, he exchanged a few words with Lin Dong.
He also ntioned he would like to invite him out for a al when they found the ti.
This made Huang Wude and his son Huang Hua green with envy.
Being invited to dine by Mayor Fang was indeed a great honor.
It was also an opportunity to join the upper echelons of society.
After Mayor Fang departed, President Zhou Likang said to Lin Dong, “Lin Dong, this month your salary and bonus will be doubled.”
“Work hard and don’t let Mayor Fang’s expectations down.”
Lin Dong nodded, and after the President and the others left, the rest of the colleagues ca up to congratulate him.
At that mont, Lin Dong was surrounded by everyone.
That’s how people are, drawn to success. When you get a promotion and a raise or return ho in glory, you’re surrounded by people offering congratulations.
However, when you’re down on your luck, having even one or two people who genuinely support you is rare.
Although not worldly, Lin Dong was well aware of this and took a detached view. He exchanged pleasantries with everyone, maintaining a cordial deanor.
In the hospital, especially in the Departnt of Cardiology, there were many young female doctors and nurses.
At this ti, they were all asking Lin Dong.
“Dr. Lin, Nurse Bai Jue can’t be your girlfriend, can she? I’ve heard her say that she’s just your sister from the sa village.”
“So, you don’t have a girlfriend, right?”
Lin Dong cleared his throat and looked towards Director Qiao Bing, hoping she could intervene on his behalf.
What else could he do when crowded by so many people?
As the host with much authority, Director Qiao Bing cleared her throat and said to everyone, “Don’t you have work to do?”
“Get back to work!”
Upon hearing Director Qiao speak, everyone began to disperse, sowhat awkwardly preparing to leave.
“Dr. Lin Dong, co to my office with ,” Qiao Bing called Lin Dong away.
Seeing this, those young female doctors and nurses began to whisper behind their backs.
“Director Qiao is taking Dr. Lin Dong away alone, could it be, she’s thinking of hogging him all to herself?”
“What are you thinking? Director Qiao Bing is known to despise n. Haven’t you seen how she used to frown when too close to a man in the past?”
“True, maybe it’s wishful thinking. But seriously, Dr. Lin Dong is really handso. And now that he’s cured Mayor Fang and won favor with the President, being his girlfriend wouldn’t be bad.”
“…”
Off to the side, Huang Hua watched this scene with a sour heart.
To think that after all his ti in the departnt, his popularity couldn’t asure up to Lin Dong’s in just a few days.
The more he thought about it, the more jealous and resentful he beca towards Lin Dong.
anwhile, Lin Dong followed Qiao Bing into her office.
Qiao Bing laughingly said, “You are now the hot cake, and those unmarried female doctors and nurses in the departnt probably all have their eyes on you.”
Lin Dong, feeling awkward, responded, “Director Qiao, please stop teasing .”
“Alright.” Qiao Bing shrugged her shoulders and turned to business, “You’re going to treat
today, right?”
Lin Dong nodded, “Yes, it’s best to have acupuncture every day in the early stages.”
“Okay, then treat
with acupuncture now,” Qiao Bing said, and then she closed the door of the office.
Lin Dong was also sowhat surprised. Was he going to administer acupuncture right here in the office?
Considering that soone might co in at any ti, Lin Dong started to feel nervous…
