Chapter 644: Hospitalization Can Be Very Happy!

Dong Miaoying had put in the effort, so both in terms of reason and sentiment, Tang Ye ought to get in touch with her.

Tang Ye walked to the balcony and dialed a string of numbers.

Soon, Dong Miaoying's crisp voice came from the other end of the line: "County Magistrate Tang! Happy New Year!"

Tang Ye smiled and replied: "District Chief Dong, Happy New Year. I am making this call because I want to thank you for helping Xiao Hui adjust her position."

Dong Miaoying gave a faint smile and said: "I didn't just arrange for Xiao Hui to enter the Government Office at random. Your classmate is very clever, has high emotional intelligence, and her appearance is excellent; she is very capable in her interpersonal dealings. I just happened to be missing someone like that by my side."

Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That is great. I hope she won't cause you any trouble."

"What kind of trouble is that? You are being too polite with me." Dong Miaoying paused for a moment and asked softly: "There is something I would like to ask you about. Has the candidate for the Tianling County Party Secretary position been decided yet?"

Dong Miaoying knew that Tang Ye's father-in-law, Du Chengfeng, was a Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee Member and also a favorite of Zhou Chengwu, so she felt Tang Ye should be able to hear some wind of it.

Tang Ye was clear that Dong Miaoying was also vying for this position, so he did not hide it: "The specifics still have to wait for the official notice, but as of now, Guo Zhengting has a very high chance of winning."

A trace of disappointment seeped into Dong Miaoying's tone: "Alright, I understand. Let's have tea together when we have time; after all, it has been a long time."

Tang Ye laughed: "Sure, once work officially starts, I will definitely come to visit you."

After hanging up on Dong Miaoying, Tang Ye sighed to himself.

Currently, the personnel adjustments in Tianling County were causing quite a stir; although Guo Zhengting was recommended by Zhou Chengwu, there was no guarantee that variables wouldn't appear at the critical moment.

As for the possibility of Cheng Lin being transferred back to Tianling, it was actually quite high.

After the Spring Festival ended, Tang Ye did not go directly to report for duty, but instead took a few days off to accompany Du Xi to Yanjing for surgery. Professor Cheng arranged for a student to pick them up at the airport.

In the evening, when Tang Ye was treating the Expert to a meal, Professor Cheng also rushed over. Tang Ye took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Professor Cheng, saying: "Grandpa Cheng, I am troubling you again this time."

Professor Cheng patted Tang Ye on the shoulder and said: "Why are you being so polite with me?"

Tang Yu had already been accepted as a student under Professor Cheng last year, so it was reasonable and appropriate for Tang Ye to call Professor Cheng "Grandpa."

A moment later, a female doctor in her forties walked into the private room. One could tell from her tone that she held Professor Cheng in high regard.

Professor Cheng smiled and instructed the female doctor: "Xiao Deng, this young couple are the son and daughter-in-law of my student. They have come from afar from Huai Province specifically for your reputation, so I am leaving them in your hands."

Doctor Deng smiled and sized up Tang Ye and Du Xi, saying: "I have already looked at the scans. The surgery is not very difficult; I will do my best."

Tang Ye said softly: "Director Deng is an authority in this field domestically; we trust you."

At the dinner table, Tang Ye took meticulous care of Professor Cheng and Director Deng, performing his courtesies very thoroughly.

Professor Cheng pondered to himself that Tang Ye was more flexible and tactful in his interpersonal dealings than Tang Yu.

This likely had to do with the nature of his work.

After the meal ended, Tang Ye took out two tote bags and handed them to Professor Cheng and Director Deng respectively: "I came from Hanzhou this time and brought some local specialties; I hope the two of you will accept them."

Professor Cheng took the tote bag, opened it, and saw the custom-carved jade inside; he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Isn't this too valuable?"

Tang Ye hurriedly explained: "My father specifically instructed this. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to answer to him when I go back."

Using Tang Yu as an excuse could resolve the awkwardness.

Professor Cheng glanced at Director Deng and said: "Then we won't be polite!"

Tang Ye knew in his heart that although Professor Cheng was helping to pull strings out of respect for his father, he still had to handle the social niceties properly.

When Director Deng returned to her car and opened her gift box, what met her eyes was also a piece of jade. After picking it up, she discovered there was also a shopping card inside, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Young people do things thoroughly and leave no stone unturned."

Early the next morning, Du Xi received a call from Director Deng personally, notifying her to be admitted to the hospital.

After arriving at the hospital, Director Deng arranged for someone to help process the admission procedures.

Du Xi sighed with emotion that with Tang Ye by her side, she really didn't need to worry; he had considered everything clearly.

"Director Deng has scheduled the surgery for the afternoon. It will be minimally invasive, using a hysteroscopy to remove the fibroids, and she can be discharged two days after the surgery."

Director Deng's assistant was very polite to Du Xi and Tang Ye because she knew this patient's status was not ordinary.

Before entering the operating room, Du Xi appeared very nervous.

Tang Ye kissed her gently on the forehead, and Du Xi's expression immediately became much more relaxed.

After waiting outside for two hours, the door to the operating room opened, and Tang Ye hurriedly went up to meet them.

Director Deng took off her mask and said with a smile: "Rest assured, the surgery was very successful."

Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "Director Deng, thank you for your hard work."

Director Deng smiled and said: "The patient is still under anesthesia and will be out in a little while."

After watching Director Deng leave, Tang Ye dialed Xiao Qin's number: "Mom, the surgery is over. The doctor said it was very successful."

Xiao Qin breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "That is good. When can she be discharged?"

Tang Ye said: "The doctor said she can be discharged in two days, but I requested three days from Director Deng."

Xiao Qin was very satisfied with Tang Ye's arrangements and said: "Thank you for taking care of Xi Xi."

Tang Ye smiled and said: "This is what I should do."

Xiao Qin hurriedly called Du Chengfeng, and when Du Chengfeng learned the result, he also breathed a sigh of relief to himself.

Twenty minutes later, the effects of the anesthesia gradually wore off, and Du Xi was pushed out by the medical staff while lying on a gurney.

Tang Ye immediately walked up and gently held Du Xi's hand.

Du Xi's complexion was still a bit pale, but the moment she saw Tang Ye, a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"Director Deng said the surgery was very successful, and you can be discharged in three days," Tang Ye said softly.

Du Xi said weakly: "Hubby, thank you for staying with me."

In the past, Du Xi liked Tang Ye so much mostly because of physical attraction.

But now she discovered that she could no longer live without Tang Ye mentally as well.

During the few days of hospitalization, Tang Ye took care of Du Xi meticulously.

When it came to nursing, Tang Ye still had experience.

After all, when Jiang Jing was hospitalized back then, he had accompanied her for several months.

"Hubby, I was very nervous at the beginning about having the surgery. But I have a strange thought now: surgery isn't scary, and I even feel that being hospitalized is very happy."

Tang Ye slapped Du Xi on the forehead in annoyance: "You're starting to act silly again. Who likes being in the hospital! This hellhole, you shouldn't come here if you can avoid it!"

"The doctor said it will take a year after the surgery before we can try for a baby," Du Xi sighed.

Tang Ye gripped Du Xi's wrist: "Stop letting your imagination run wild. Your most important task right now is to nurse your body back to health."
