Extra: "Sijun Across the Blue Sky" (17)
Zhiyan didn't make a sound. He looked at Jingyi again, and she was already working on the copywriting with her head down - Jingyi's desk was quite tidy, but a neat stack of documents was placed on her left hand early, waiting for her to deal with it...... She frowned slightly as she flipped through the papers, but then her eyebrows widened, and it was clear that it was not something that bothered her. She looked very much like her father when she was busy with desk workβit was still pouring rain when they left the house early in the morning. The window behind her was open, and the white figure looked soft and beautiful against the drizzly background...... Zhixi rubbed her arm, and when she heard Mei Yanchun talking to Bai Wei softly, she closed the door lightly, and turned around and said, "Miss Mei, please give me a cup of tea." β
Anita Mui smiled and nodded. She was quick with her hands and feet, brewed the tea for Zhiyi and handed it to Bai Wei, and when she went to bring coffee to Jingyi, she saw Zhiyi sitting precariously, and the stack of newspapers of the day in front of her did not open it - she silently passed by the silent man and entered Cheng Jingyi's office, and put the coffee on the table.
"Dean Cheng, do you need to prepare an office for Mr. Lin? He was going to settle outside like this, and he was a little wronged. Xiaomei whispered.
Jing Yi paused the tip of his pen and said, "He will go back soon, so there is no need to bother." β
"But that doesn't look like ...... We prepared newspapers and magazines for him, and he didn't seem to care......" Xiaomei said, seeing that Jingyi looked disappreciative, she stopped.
Seeing that she was gone, Jingyi looked up at her and said, "Then you ask his opinion." If he finds it inconvenient, ask him to work in the next room. β
Jingyi said, and couldn't help but want to laugh. Although Zhixin has followed his father for many years, I am afraid that he still does not understand much in literature and science, and it is difficult to prepare newspapers and magazines for him. However, Xiaomei and Bai Wei, two young ladies, are quite busy in her office, and it is indeed a little inconvenient for Zhixi to be here.
"He's in charge of your safety, and it's not good to be far away." Xiaomei said with a smile.
Jing Yi looked at her and smiled, raising her eyebrows.
Xiaomei immediately asked, "Dean Cheng, do you have good eyes at home?" How can one come out of your house and look dignified. There was no one who came to see Mr. Lin in the morning who didn't inquire. Even a beautiful man, Dr. Gao, who rarely took a look, asked me who this was and how I was here. β
Jingyi smiled, thinking about it, Zhiyi really looked dignified...... She then asked, "Doctor Hillhouse?" β
"Yes." Xiaomei said with a smile. As if she thought of something, her expression froze, and then she smiled, "Doctor Gao is a beauty." When I interned at Tzu Chi, I was a well-known beauty...... There are many suitors, but unfortunately there are very few who can enter the eyes of Dr. Gao. Tzu Chi is famous for its three beauties, and Dr. Gao can be the first. β
"Sanmei? What about the other two? Jingyi was curious.
"Dr. Chi Zhongwu from the orthopaedic department, Nurse Pei Zuochun from the paediatric ward, and Dr. Hillhouse are for Tzu Chi Sanmei." Xiaomei explained.
Jing Yi pondered it carefully and said with a smile: "Sure enough, each has its own merits." She said and looked at Xiaomei, Xiaomei understood, shook her head and waved her hand.
"The three of them are both talented and beautiful, and they deserve it." Xiaomei smiled.
"In my opinion, Tzu Chi is not limited to these three beauties. Speaking of which, Dr. Meng and I recommended Dr. Hillhouse to take care of Commander Xiao. In my opinion, Dr. Hillhouse may not be willing to give in to being a personal doctor. The matter will be discussed again. Jingyi said.
Xiao Mei pondered for a moment and said, "I am familiar with Dr. Gao, if the commander has no objection, I can lobby." Dr. Gao is kind-hearted and highly skilled, and he is very sympathetic to the situation of the military commander, or whether he is willing to do so, it is not known. β
"Just don't force it. If she refuses, she will consider the right person. Jingyi said, opening the file.
Xiaomei still has something to tell Jingyi, seeing that she is busy with copywriting, she is not in a hurry to say. She only stood on the side, waiting for Jingyi to finish processing the documents, and then she said, "Just now, the secretary of the Wei Council called to ask about your schedule and whether you have time to meet with you alone." I would like to say that if it is not an urgent matter, it can be arranged at 3 p.m. tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. β
"Good." Jingyi nodded. Director Wei Lixian is one of the executive directors of the Tzu Chi Council, and he has never cooperated with her. Earlier, she submitted the case of cooperation with Tokyo Imperial Medical to the board of directors for discussion, and the others either lacked interest or took a strict stance and would not approve of it, but he did not object at the time, and afterwards contacted several directors to discuss the possibility of success of the case. She was shocked when this news reached her ears through the other councillors...... If Director Wei joins forces with others to put forward a bill, she will have to deal with it carefully.
In any case, it was difficult for her to accept that the hospital she was single-mindedly maintained had become a place where the Japanese dictated. Even the slightest possibility, she wanted to strangle.
"But in my opinion, even if Director Wei comes to fulfill the contract, I'm afraid it won't be a big deal...... Last night at the dog run, at the intersection of La Feld, I heard that something was wrong. There was a man from Tokyo Imperial Medicine, I heard that he was meeting with someone there, but I don't know how to do it, maybe he drank too much alcohol and fell into the water on the way back...... This thing was kept secret, and it was said to the outside world that it was an accident, and the person was just injured, and there was no major problem. However, those in the know said that I am afraid that the injury will not be light......"
"Director Wei seems to have been in close contact with Imperial Medicine in recent days." Jingyi wrung the fountain pen and took the coffee in her hand. Her face was motionless, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Yes. That's why I said that Director Wei was probably just here to meet with the dean, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to talk about anything...... God opened his eyes and made the Japanese arrogant. is so indispensable, I almost don't know that there is still a blue sky above my head. Xiaomei whispered, her tone very angry.
Jing Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there any situation at home today?" β
"Everything works fine. Dr. Meng was on duty last night and had nothing to do all night. Xiaomei's face turned slightly pale when she said this.
Jingyi nodded.
She drank her coffee.
"Dean, if there's nothing else to do, I'll go out first." Xiaomei put away all the documents on the table.
"Wait." Jingyi took a draft of the telegram on the table to Xiaomei and said, "This is what I just prepared." When you're done with your business, send this telegram out. Go out and ask Mr. Lin to come in, I have something to ask him. β
"Yes." Xiaomei took it, roughly swept the telegram draft, and asked in surprise, "Dean Cheng...... What are you going to ......?"
Jingyi whispered, "Dr. Johnson would be best if he could get there, and if he couldn't, I would submit my resignation to the board of directors and ask them to choose another meritorious." β
Xiaomei was suddenly anxious and said, "But the most trusted person by the council now is you, Dean Cheng." Without your efforts for almost a year, they would not have continued to support Tzu Chi, and Tzu Chi would not be thriving as it is now...... If you leave, what will Dr. Johnson do if he is uncomfortable? Dean Cheng, you can't easily move this thought. β
"I don't want to leave." Jing Yi whispered, "Now that this is the situation, I need to be more secretive in my words and deeds. β
Xiaomei also understands Jingyi's situation. But when she thought that Jingyi was going to resign as the dean, she was very reluctant.
"Dean Cheng, you should think twice." She said anyway.
Jingyi nodded and said, "This is my decision after careful consideration. For my safety, a lot of manpower and material resources have been used. At this time, the national crisis is at hand, and the limited materials and manpower should be invested in the great cause of resisting Japan. My family and I were so upset. Furthermore, although I am committed to treating the sick and saving people, and I should also take responsibility for Tzu Chi, if I cause Tzu Chi to be affected, even if it is one in ten thousand, causing evil consequences, I cannot let this happen. β
Anita Mui's heart was in turmoil. She knew that what Jingyi said made sense. Jingyi's identity is not an ordinary doctor.
"The third uncle talked to me two days ago. He said that it is not easy for you, a woman, to take such a big risk and have the courage to take on the responsibility of the entire hospital here. But if you want him to say, it is also recommended that you go to the rear. Xiaomei's voice trembled slightly.
Jingyi nodded and said, "In order to protect the power we have invested, it is better to put it in a place where it is more needed." There are not many people I can help, and it would be a bad thing for me to sacrifice people or to be healed. I first sent a telegram to reply to the teacher. In the future, even if Dr. Johnson can come, or elect a new dean, it will take time. I will certainly do my part during this period. β
Xiaomei's expression was gloomy.
Jingyi whispered: "This position, I can do it, many people can do it, I can let it go; As a wife, a mother, and a daughter, I have an unshirkable responsibility. β
"Yes, Dean Cheng, I can understand. It's just reluctant. I can't bear this career for you. Xiaomei said.
Jing Yi smiled softly.
Xiaomei often sees her smile like this now.
Compared with when I first met Cheng Jingyi, from the country to the hospital, the situation is no longer the same. At that time, I felt that the situation was bad enough, but I didn't think that it was even worse at this time, which made people feel pessimistic from time to time. But under heavy pressure, it is often common for him to smile as if he lifted his weight, which can really bring considerable encouragement to people. She can't imagine what kind of situation Tzu Chi would be like without Cheng Jingyi's leadership. But she could no longer understand Cheng Jingyi's choice at this time. If she is a person and this smile at this time can encourage her to be a colleague, a hospital and a patient, then by Commander Tao's side, this power will spread farther...... She hopes she'll have that opportunity too.
Xiaomei looked at Jingyi in a daze.
Jingyi was about to remind her to go out to do something, when Bai Wei knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Dean Cheng, there is a guest visiting." β
"Hey, there's no appointment at this time." Xiaomei said immediately.
"It's a business card for the guests." Bai Wei hurriedly came over and put the business card in front of Jing Yi, "It was her entourage who came up first, saying that she was waiting downstairs." β
Jing Yi's gaze fell on the business card, which was about two inches long and simple in style, and in the center were four delicate Chinese characters - Abe Haruko.
