Chapter 57

Dingdong, 【Virtual Operation Training】 12th activation condition: 1/6.

【Peak Medical Skill Experience】, first activation progress: received patient gratitude, cumulative 64/100.

Before four o'clock this afternoon, there weren't many patients, so Wang Chuan only completed one.

Wang Chuan assumed this was Sun Ke's morning shift, from eight a. m. to four p. m., and some tasks had to be given to Lin Rui, who was a visiting doctor needing practice.

In reality, Yang Guohua instructed Sun Ke that Wang Chuan must not participate in his shift, only in Zhang Yang's.

Sun Ke didn't know why the Outstanding Intern was unrecognized by Yang Guohua; feeling guilty, he still let Wang Chuan treat one case.

At three-thirty in the office, "Wang Chuan, didn't I tell you to come back at eight tonight?"

In walked Doctor Wu Qinghua.

Zhang Yang's shift is from four p. m. to midnight, but today Wang Chuan has his Subject One Exam, so Zhang Yang told him to come after eight.

"Tell Zhang Yang I'm going back to the dorm. If there's an emergency, call me or send someone to get me."

The drowsiness suppressed by pain during the morning exam surged back over his eyelids after the emergency surgery.

Wang Chuan thought: tomorrow morning at five-ten, he had to go to driving school—he should go back and rest.

Wu Qinghua added: "By the way, Zhang Yang and Director Gao have rearranged shifts—you can go watch the European Cup Opening Match."

Wang Chuan walked out of emergency and saw Cheng Keyuan approaching: "Wang Chuan, all interns gather—go to the 11th-floor Training Lecture Hall."

"What's going on?"

Cheng Keyuan knew it was good for Wang Chuan and good for Jiangcheng University School of Medicine, but his expression remained cold: "I don't know—you'll find out when you get there."

Wang Chuan entered through the main gate and saw Dean Wei Xing, Vice Dean Yang Guohua, and Pei Nanli's father Pei Hangping sitting at the front desk.

He sat beside Li Wei and asked: "What's this all about?"

"Pei Nanli's father is awarding you the Act of Courage Award. Dean Wei Xing is awarding you the Excellent Intern Award."

Wang Chuan stepped up to the front desk, holding two plaques, facing nearly a hundred interns, and said: "Being a doctor was my childhood dream; saving lives and healing the wounded—these four words..."

After speaking, Pei Hangping added: "Wang Chuan, besides being diligent and solid in his studies, I must mention something else. Today's Act of Courage Award is solely to recognize his outstanding performance in stopping a Medical Disturbance."

"Students, you don't know this yet. Last Friday, during his break, Wang Chuan encountered a patient with Heat Stroke. He not only took emergency measures himself but also directed the taxi driver and a graduating high school girl to assist in the rescue."

"He stole precious treatment time from the Death God for that patient."

"After doing this good deed, Wang Chuan didn't leave his name! Only after days of tracking down the taxi driver and asking around did we find out it was Wang Chuan."

After finishing, Pei Hangping nodded to Wang Chuan.

That night, Pei Nanli's mother told Pei Hangping clearly: she approved of Wang Chuan and Pei Nanli's relationship and would not oppose their future marriage.

Pei Hangping said he'd let her pursue a graduate degree first, then reassess.

He was immediately cut off by Ning Hui's rapid-fire words.

"Wang Chuan, I've observed him for four years—he's hardworking, smart, and devoted. After he starts working and gets married, he can go to graduate school later."

"He doesn't even have to be a doctor—he can take the Public Servant exam."

"I think Wang Chuan's sharp as a tack—you're a Bureau Chief, but your future son-in-law might hold an even higher office."

In the end, Pei Hangping conceded: as long as Pei Nanli agrees.

His colleagues, superiors, the Mingzhou Boss, and matchmakers had all come to propose for Pei Nanli; Pei Hangping had been weighing how to balance his own interests with his daughter's lifelong happiness.

Wang Chuan wasn't the best option—even though he saved his daughter, that was just her luck; without Wang Chuan, Chen Chuan or Zhao Chuan could've done it.

Dean Wei Xing, after hearing Pei Hangping, clapped enthusiastically: "I hope all interns learn two things from Wang Chuan: his diligence and his humility. Now, please Vice Dean Yang speak."

Yang Guohua saw Pei Hangping praising Wang Chuan so highly, yet Pei Hangping gave no smile—only a nod.

He felt reassured, cleared his throat: "Let me add a few points. Wang Chuan's diagnostic abilities are indeed on par with licensed physicians—Dean Wei has already detailed this."

"Interns intern, graduate, then take the Licensing Physician Exam; pass it, and you become a true doctor."

"This process is long, so I hope not just Wang Chuan, but all interns remember: do everything legally and properly—don't casually ruin your future."

"You interns must also watch over your dorm mates and fellow interns—monitor each other, prevent violations."

"You can report to the Teaching Office Director or Group Leader Yang Fang anytime."

"We who've walked this path must protect you better—you're promising talents!"

Dean Wei Xing was deeply suspicious: "What is Yang Guohua up to? Director Pei has praised Wang Chuan so highly, and Wang Chuan is still dating Director Pei's daughter."

He glanced at Pei Hangping—no anger on his face. Did Director Pei disapprove of the relationship?

His gaze swept again—he saw Pei Nanli seated on the east side, Wang Chuan on the west, separated by over ten seats.

Their eyes had not met at all.

'If Tao Tao is to surpass Gao Cheng and be promoted to Vice Dean, Pei Hangping's nod is essential. Am I supposed to suppress Wang Chuan like Yang Guohua?'

'I need to find out Director Pei's true opinion first. I've heard many matchmakers have approached him—I should send Tao Tao to investigate.'

Below, Wang Chuan realized: Yang Guohua was his greatest enemy in the hospital.

After the award ceremony ended, Wang Chuan returned alone to his dorm to rest.

When he went to the canteen for dinner, Pei Nanli came over: "Wang Chuan, I've spoken to the teacher and told my mom—you can take me to sign up for driving school tomorrow."

"I don't want to learn with others. I only want to learn with you and Li Wei."

Wang Chuan stood up and blocked Pei Nanli's path: "We already have four—me, Luo De, Wang Jia. One car can't hold five."

Pei Nanli replied: "Luo De and Wang Jia are from Mingzhou Medical College—they can learn together."

Wang Chuan was about to say more, but Pei Nanli had already walked away.

"Making Li Wei and Wang Jia not learn together—Li Wei will never agree."

Wang Chuan's head throbbed.

Ding-dong—a text arrived: Wu Qinghua asked Wang Chuan to buy two bowls of wonton on the street—Attending Physician Zhang Yang is still in surgery and doesn't want rice after.

Wang Chuan left the canteen and walked to the flower bed beside the left side of the emergency hall entrance.

Under the dim yellow streetlamp stood a girl, wearing a white crop top exposing her waist and denim shorts.

She was doing Push-ups.

The girl seemed to sense Wang Chuan's gaze, stopped her Push-ups, looked up and smiled, waving at him: "Wang Chuan, I've brought you patients needing Suturing."
