Chapter 42: Sensitive Young People Prone to Anger

~8 min read 1,526 words

Wang Chuan and Pei Nanli walked into the Bureau Chief's Office.

Pei Hangping did not stand up; he carefully sized up Wang Chuan, who was tall and handsome.

Just now, while Pei Nanli went outside to call Wang Chuan, he had wanted to ask Wang Chuan for further details, but Yang Guohua only knew this much, saying the intern's files were stored in the Medical Affairs Section, so he had to give up upon seeing this.

He also learned from Chen Donghai that Wang Chuan and her daughter had pretended to be a young couple, walked out of Respiratory Medicine, Wang Chuan let his daughter leave first, then turned back inside to save Doctor Tao.

His character should be beyond reproach; whether he is my daughter's boyfriend or a suitor needs to be asked later.

Pei Hangping spoke: "Student Wang Chuan, I am Pei Nanli's father. Thank you for your help; this was an act of bravery for a just cause."

After speaking, he said to Chen Donghai and the other two, "Let's go back first. Wang Chuan, you come with us."

As a result, in the Office, without a chance to say a single word, Wang Chuan was arranged by Pei Nanli's father; in his previous life, Wang Chuan had never had the opportunity to meet Pei Hangping.

After all, a Lick Dog had no qualification to meet the parents.

Wang Chuan glanced over; the official car exceeded the standard, didn't it? The Health Bureau Chief was assigned an Audi A6.

"You and Pei Nanli sit in the back row; I'll sit in the front passenger seat." After speaking, the Secretary had already opened the front passenger door, and Pei Hangping got in.

Pei Nanli opened the left-side car door and got in; Wang Chuan felt very awkward. The standard seating for leaders within the system is the rear right seat, directly behind the front passenger seat.

If he sat there, it would be impolite. For another example, if a leader likes to drive and is the driver, you cannot foolishly sit in the back row; you must sit in the front passenger seat, otherwise the leader becomes the driver.

Wang Chuan opened the left-side door. "Pei Nanli, you sit behind your dad."

"What?" Pei Nanli was puzzled.

"That is the seat of honor; you go sit there, and I'll sit in your spot." Wang Chuan explained.

Pei Nanli understood; except when her mother was present, indeed her father sat in that seat every time, which was the rear seat behind the front passenger seat.

"Wang Chuan, you are all classmates; sit wherever you like, no need to be so particular about this."

Although he said this, Pei Hangping still felt in his heart that Wang Chuan understood social etiquette and was not a wooden-headed person who only studied books to death.

Before driving for a while, Pei Hangping was just preparing to ask a question when he received a text message from Yang Guohua.

'Bureau Chief Pei, just asked the Medical Affairs Section Chief: Wang Chuan was first in his clinical major for three semesters during his four years at Jiangda Medical College, and second for five semesters; he received a first-class scholarship every year and was first in the intern surgical operation competition. His family: parents deceased, with a grandmother and an uncle at home.'

'Considered an outstanding university student.'

Pei Hangping turned back to look at his daughter and asked: "Wang Chuan, your grades at school are good; why didn't you intern at Jiangcheng First Affiliated Hospital or Second Affiliated Hospital?"

"One can learn more things there, perhaps."

Wang Chuan internally scoffed: "The other Wang Chuan was your daughter's Lick Dog, following along to intern."

Beside him, Pei Nanli's hands tightened; Wang Chuan came to Mingzhou following her. Wang Chuan had said in April with his own mouth: wherever she went to intern, he would go to intern there.

If Wang Chuan answered like this, her father might think Wang Chuan and she were dating, or at least that he was a suitor.

When she was at home, she told her dad and mom that she was not dating anyone.

Wang Chuan paused for a moment before saying: "Uncle Pei, First Affiliated Hospital and Second Affiliated Hospital have doctors from all over the province furthering their studies, plus many graduate students; the opportunities left for undergraduates to perform operations are fewer than at Mingzhou First Hospital."

Pei Nanli's pretty face turned toward the car window side, secretly letting out a breath of relief.

However, she did not escape Pei Hangping's gaze; he understood that this was not Wang Chuan's true answer.

"Are your grades good enough for direct admission to graduate school?"

Wang Chuan remembered that in his previous life, he had made no preparation; on June 19 this year, he scored 520 on the English Level 6 exam, but the quota for direct admission to graduate school required at least 525 on the English Level 6 exam, missing by five points.

Because Pei Nanli was not taking the Postgraduate Entrance Exam, he had not fought for it at the time; he hoped to stay at Mingzhou First Hospital after graduation, just like Pei Nanli.

After Rebirth, Wang Chuan would not take the Postgraduate Entrance Exam either, so he answered honestly: "I don't want to take the Postgraduate Entrance Exam; I want to work immediately after graduation."

Pei Hangping thought to himself: My daughter isn't taking the Postgraduate Entrance Exam, and you aren't either; what does this mean?

"Wang Chuan, Pei Nanli, are the two of you dating?" Pei Hangping spoke.

This question came unexpectedly, making the car cabin suddenly become quiet.

After a while, Pei Nanli said: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking!"

Pei Hangping continued: "I am not an old feudalist; young people dating freely, I won't interfere."

"However, an undergraduate degree is a bit low. A man should continue to advance his studies in medicine while young. I know a few masters and doctoral supervisors at your Medical School; if Wang Chuan you are interested in graduate school, I can help recommend you."

Pei Hangping actually did not value Wang Chuan's family background as much as Pei Nanli's father, Jiang Huaian, did.

Because Pei Hangping himself was a person with no background back in the day, he felt Wang Chuan was a promising talent, but should not get trapped in romantic love too early.

Wang Chuan felt internally that Pei Hangping, at least on the surface, had a broader perspective.

"Uncle Pei, Pei Nanli and I are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and I have no intention of attending graduate school. We've arrived at the Hospital ahead; you can let me off here."

Wang Chuan suddenly spoke in a cold tone.

This was Wang Chuan deliberately pretending to be a sensitive young person who gets angry easily, so he said these words.

Just now, saving Pei Nanli was because she was his White Moonlight in his previous life.

Although she had always been playing with him, Wang Chuan did not want to see Pei Nanli's head burst open.

Precisely because of her, the Wang Chuan of the previous life abandoned medicine for law, then finance, and his life path went very well.

The White Moonlight in everyone's heart has privileges; it allows people to be double-standard.

After Wang Chuan got off the car, Pei Nanli said angrily: "Dad, how can you speak like that? What 'undergraduate is low'? Your daughter is also an undergraduate graduate and doesn't attend graduate school."

Pei Hangping did not respond, watching Wang Chuan's figure disappear at the main gate of Mingzhou First Hospital.

He thought to himself: Young people are still young people; too sensitive. He misunderstood my recommending him for graduate school as looking down on his current self, and further thought that his current self was not good enough for his daughter.

"Ding-dong!"

At the door of Room 616, Building 6, in the best residential area of Mingzhou City, Jiangnan Yanyu, Pei Nanli rang the doorbell.

A moment later, the door opened, and a fifty-year-old woman poked her head out, her appearance bearing a slight resemblance to Pei Hangping.

Seeing Pei Nanli had come home, she said warmly and politely: "Nan Nan is back."

After speaking, she took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall and carefully placed them on the floor.

"Thank you!"

After changing into her slippers, Pei Nanli entered the spacious living room of over fifty square meters, where a middle-aged woman was still watching television.

Not yet forty-five, she was well-preserved and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses; Pei Nanli's features bore a slight resemblance to hers.

She was Pei Nanli's mother, a professor at Mingzhou University Law School, and had been voted by students as the most beautiful female professor in the university's twenty-year history.

Seeing Pei Nanli return, Ning Hui glanced behind her a few more times before suddenly frowning: "Aren't you on the night shift today? Why are you home? Where is your father?"

"Father went to the Municipal Government for a meeting. I swapped shifts."

Pei Nanli replied quietly.
