Since Lu Xiaojing knew the news that Dong Zhentang was about to retire, her heart was empty, not so much because of her attachment to Dong Zhentang, but because of her anxiety about her future. With this mood, she also especially wanted to have a meal with Dong Zhentang to learn more about the situation.

Since the last time she talked to Dong Zhentang on the phone, she has been looking forward to Dong Zhentang making an appointment with her as soon as possible. On the morning of the third day, Lu Xiaojing was on duty in the ward, Dong Zhentang's phone called, Lu Xiaojing quickly connected the phone, and Dong Zhentang asked very kindly on the other side of the phone, "Xiaojing, is it convenient for you tonight, if it is convenient for us to have a meal!" Lu Xiaojing replied, "Well, I'm fine at night!" As soon as Dong Zhentang heard this, he continued, "Okay, let's set tonight, and I'll send you the time and place WeChat in a while-", and then Dong Zhentang hung up the phone.

After a while, Lu Xiaojing saw that Dong Zhentang had posted the dining place on WeChat, and the moment she saw the dining place, she couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart, it turned out that the place Dong Zhentang chose to eat was "Sparrow Island Western Restaurant", Lu Xiaojing thought to herself if this was a coincidence, or did Dong Zhentang do it intentionally-

Thinking about it, Lu Xiaojing couldn't help but blush, her heart beat faster, and she quickly shifted her focus to suppress more thoughts. Lu Xiaojing then looked at the following content: At 7 o'clock, the green, fat, red and thin hall on the second floor. Seeing this, Lu Xiaojing's mood calmed down a little, she was really afraid that Dong Zhentang would choose the box where she went on a date with Liao Yifan again, otherwise, how embarrassing it would be.

After reading WeChat, Lu Xiaojing replied: "Okay, go together or go alone?" Dong Zhentang replied, "Let's go alone, that place is in the Sports Institute of the Development Zone, if you are not familiar with it, you can use navigation to go there!" ”。

Seeing this, Lu Xiaojing couldn't help but be a little funny, she laughed at herself in her heart: I've been there many times, but I don't know how many times you've been there, but how many people who go there to eat are not ambiguous-

With anticipation, Lu Xiaojing finally stayed up until work. Lu Xiaojing returned to her dormitory, and she could change into a black slim lace dress, which looked elegant and generous, but also graceful, and then changed into a pair of fish-mouth black lacquer high-heeled sandals, exuding a mature and bewitching charm.

After getting dressed, Lu Xiaojing drove straight to the restaurant, the traffic was bustling along the way, Lu Xiaojing was stuck in the traffic and walked slowly, she listened to the old love songs played on the CD, and couldn't help but worry about it.

It took about 40 minutes to finally arrive at the door of the gym restaurant, she stopped the car and saw that it was already more than seven o'clock, she thought that Dong Zhentang might have arrived, so she quickly got out of the car and walked to the restaurant, entered the door, and under the guidance of the waiter, she came to the 'green, fat, red and thin hall' on the second floor, pushed the door open, Lu Xiaojing saw that Dong Zhentang was already waiting there.

Lu Xiaojing walked into the box, Dong Zhentang stood up from his seat, and Lu Xiaojing said with a smile, "I'm sorry, the traffic on the road is too congested, I'm hurrying and hurrying, it's still late!" Dong Zhentang responded with a smile, "It's okay, I just arrived", the two of them were talking, and Lu Xiaojing sat opposite Dong Zhentang.

At this time, the waiter took the recipe and asked them to order, Dong Zhentang asked Lu Xiaojing to look at the order he liked, Lu Xiaojing excused himself, and ordered two sweets by the way, and then Dong Zhentang ordered two special seafood and a steak. Dong Zhentang asked Lu Xiaojing, "Have a drink!" Lu Xiaojing hurriedly said, "Don't drink it, drive the car, order two glasses of juice!" ”。

Dong Zhentang saw that Lu Xiaojing didn't want to drink, and he didn't force it, so he ordered two cups of juice and a pot of Brazilian coffee, and then the waiter went out with the menu to prepare, and Dong Zhentang and Lu Xiaojing were left in the room at this time. Lu Xiaojing took a look at this private room, it belonged to the warm dress, some poetic, some romantic and pleasant, Lu Xiaojing had to admire the beauty of the style of this restaurant!

Then, Lu Xiaojing shifted her gaze to Dong Zhentang's face, she looked at Dong Zhentang and asked, "Why are you suddenly going to retire?" I couldn't believe it when I heard the news, and I sometimes wondered if it was a dream! Dong Zhentang also looked at Lu Xiaojing at this time, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, he said, "Yes, this matter is actually quite sudden for me, but there are relevant policies in the city, and we can be regarded as corresponding policies, so let's take care of everyone!" ”。

Lu Xiaojing was a little impatient with Dong Zhentang's official words, so she pursed her lips and muttered, "I don't care if the policy is policy or not, I just don't want you to go!" Hearing Lu Xiaojing's words, Dong Zhentang's heart also trembled, he understood that the woman in front of him was no longer his simple subordinate, and there was already an inexplicable special relationship between them. He looked deeply at Lu Xiaojing's resentful eyes, and his heart sank.

He said, "Xiaojing, in fact, I really don't want to leave the hospital, I feel very fulfilled here, especially with you, I also feel happy and yearning, but there are some things that I can't decide!" Speaking of which, Dong Zhentang's eyes were already full of affection, like a brother and a lover-

Looking at Dong Zhentang's emotional appearance, Lu Xiaojing also felt a sour feeling in her heart! Yes, there are some things that are really not in my mind at times, and can only be arranged by fate. Just when the two of them looked at each other and were depressed, the waiter knocked on the door to deliver the food, and they quickly put away their emotions and pretended to be natural and peaceful.

After the waiter finished putting the dishes and withdrew, Dong Zhentang beckoned Lu Xiaojing to eat something first, and he said, "Come, eat something, let's eat alone first, don't you say: the world can't live up to the ears for food!" Saying that, Dong Zhentang pointed a braised South American prawn and put it on Lu Xiaojing's plate.

Lu Xiaojing was really hungry at this time, so she peeled off the prawns and ate them with relish, and then drank some juice, they ate at the table at this time very casually, and there was no restraint between them. Dong Zhentang took a sip of coffee and said to Lu Xiaojing, "At present, this personnel adjustment will have a greater impact on the follow-up hospital!" ”。

Lu Xiaojing stared at Dong Zhentang and asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that?" Dong Zhentang continued, "This adjustment is in accordance with the general policy of improving the quality and efficiency of our city's medical system, in principle, those who have reached retirement age and are close to retirement age must step down from leadership positions, and instead let those young and middle-aged people who are in the prime of life and have excellent academic qualifications take on the role."

Lu Xiaojing's eyes widened, she felt that these words were too far away from her, so she asked, "You are gone, who will replace you?" Dong Zhentang said, "The organization has already talked to me and Dean Zhou, this time I and Dean Zhou are going to retire, and we have both made a statement, as for the successor, the president will be replaced by a vice president of the People's House, and I, the vice president, will be replaced by a doctor with a returnee background!" ”。

Lu Xiaojing asked in surprise, "Is Dean Zhou going to retire this time?" Dong Zhentang nodded and said, "Yes, Dean Zhou has also reached the age, it stands to reason that he is already overage service, this time the president to replace him is very capable, the age is just 45 years old, and he has almost 10 years of experience in the management position of the People's Hospital, it is said that the score of this selection and evaluation is very high, and the city has high hopes for him!" Lu Xiaojing seemed to understand the difference, she could only nod her head.

Then, Dong Zhentang stared at Lu Xiaojing again, she looked at Lu Xiaojing thoughtfully, and said, "Xiaojing, the next step to directly manage you will be the returnee doctor, it is said that he graduated from a famous university in China, and later worked in a well-known hospital in Beijing, with very strong professional ability, and then was sent to study in Germany, and worked in a hospital in Munich, Germany for 5 years, with a very bright background and qualifications." He was introduced by the municipal government as an outstanding overseas returnee this time, and being able to put him in our hospital as the vice president of business is the city's attention to our hospital, and it will inevitably bring new ideas and changes to our hospital! ”。

Dong Zhentang paused, he continued to look at Lu Xiaojing and said, "Xiaojing, dealing with such a leader is both your opportunity and your challenge, you must be mentally prepared!" ”。

Hearing this, Lu Xiaojing couldn't help but be shocked, in her mind, such a tall figure as a returnee medical doctor was so far away, she didn't expect that such a character would become her boss next, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She looked at Dong Zhentang with a blank eye, a little confused, a little overwhelmed, she couldn't help asking, "Then what should I do?" ”。

Hearing Lu Xiaojing ask herself what she should do, Dong Zhentang didn't know what to say for a while. Yes, in addition to being highly educated and having a big vision, he also knows very little about them in the future, and he can't judge what kind of reform measures they will take, and what advice can he give Lu Xiaojing!

Dong Zhentang was silent for a while, and said thoughtfully, "Xiaojing, in fact, I regret it now, I should have created more opportunities for you to go to well-known universities or large hospitals in China to study and study, which will not only broaden your horizons and improve your professional skills, but also make your career experience better." However, at that time, I saw that you were working hard and your children were young, so I didn't think too much about it, and now I look back and feel that I missed the opportunity! ”。

When Lu Xiaojing heard Dong Zhentang's words, she also felt the same way, blaming her for her lack of professionalism and ambition back then, and she felt that she was content with a stable job and a warm family, so she has always been content with the status quo, and this director was also made by Dong Zhentang's hard work, and she didn't want to fight for it at that time-

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaojing smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, I am a little woman, I have never thought about it so much, I have always thought that I am content if I work hard and have a clear conscience, so why do I still want to go to further study and further study!" Dong Zhentang also smiled bitterly and replied, "Yes, sometimes people are always satisfied with the status quo, and unconsciously, opportunities are gone." But that's fine, do it with peace of mind! ”。

The two of them were eating and chatting at the same time, this time Dong Zhentang talked a lot with her, and it was also very practical, he explained and reminded Lu Xiaojing of some department comparisons, interpersonal relationships and other topics, and told Lu Xiaojing to be calm and calm in case of trouble, not only to get along with colleagues, but also to prevent being calculated. These exchanges have benefited Lu Xiaojing a lot, and Lu Xiaojing admires the man in front of her even more-

In the end, Dong Zhentang told Lu Xiaojing that after the appointment of the new person, he would take a few months off, and would stay with his son in Shenzhen for a while, and if there was anything, he could send WeChat and call him. Then, Dong Zhentang grabbed Lu Xiaojing's hand and said, "Work hard and meet the future with a new attitude, I will definitely follow you behind me and support you-".

Lu Xiaojing looked at Dong Zhentang with tears in her eyes, nodded vigorously, and said, "Well, don't worry, I will work hard-."
