Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Flowing Time

Since Sun Zhijun turned the house into a mess last time, Tan Jing felt that it was too unsafe to leave the passbook at home.She hid the passbook very carefully, but no matter how carefully she hid it, she was always worried that Sun Zhijun would find it.The money was saved bit by bit through her teeth.After much deliberation, she decided not to keep the passbook at home, so she asked Wang Yuling if she could leave the passbook with her. Wang Yuling usually dislikes Sun Zhijun's personality the most. When she heard her say this, she guessed it seven or eight points, and said, "He asked you for money again?"

Tan Jing didn't make a sound, just picked up the noodles with chopsticks.She and Wang Yuling both work in the afternoon, and it's not time for work yet. The two of them are eating noodles in a small shop in the alley.Every time I work in the afternoon, I don’t have time to eat at home, so I just go out for a casual meal, and then go to the store to change clothes and change shifts. Wang Yuling said: "What else do you want to do with this kind of man? He doesn't take money from the family, and he doesn't care about you asking for money." At the beginning of their marriage, they shared a two-bedroom apartment with Wang Yuling, so Wang Yuling knew their situation very well, and because of that period of co-renting, Wang Yuling sympathized with Tan Jing very much, but her sympathy could not bring Tan Jing too much help.

At this time, seeing Tan Jing drooping her eyelids and not speaking, Wang Yuling hated iron for being weak again: "You are so soft-hearted! If it were me, I would have divorced him long ago." Tan Jing then said: "He's not always like this, it's only in the past two years that he became like this." Wang Yuling didn't say anything, and Sun Zhijun was really nice to Tan Jing at the beginning, especially when Tan Jing was confinement, Sun Zhijun was busy all by himself, not only had to go to work, but also took care of Tan Jing and the children.I often wash diapers in a hurry after returning home, and then go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.At that time, Tan Jing couldn't go to work, and Sun Zhijun's income was not much. Wang Yuling once saw Sun Zhijun bargaining hard and softly with the fishmonger in the vegetable market, just to buy a cheaper live crucian carp and go back to make soup for Tan Jing to drink.In good conscience, Wang Yuling felt that Sun Zhijun was a good husband and father at that time.But later he became obsessed with drinking and playing cards, and Tan Jing's life gradually became sad.

Wang Yuling has always been outspoken, with a straightforward temper, and when she saw that Sun Zhijun was talking quietly, she frowned, "Oh, if I didn't make it up, if you want to put it with me, just leave it to me." Leave it here with me, anyway, I won’t ask you for a storage fee. You keep the password safe, if it is stolen by a thief, I will not be responsible.” Tan Jing smiled and said, "Thank you." Wang Yuling rolled her eyes and said, "It's so sour!" After they finished their noodles, they went straight to work in the store.As soon as I changed into the uniform, I heard the manager on duty say, "Everyone cheers up today, and the supervisor of the head office will come over later to make an inspection."

They are large chain stores with strict management. Every month, managers at all levels of the head office will take turns to check and patrol the chain stores from time to time.Because this kind of inspection is very common, the employees in the store don't pay much attention and just work as usual.In the afternoon, there were not many customers in the store, and only a middle-aged woman was picking bread. Because the counters in the store are all semi-open, especially the bread counter, they are all transparent partitions made of plexiglass, and customers sometimes pick their own plates.The fancy cake slices are usually placed in the freezer because they are easier to damage the shape.As soon as Wang Yuling saw the guests walking by, she greeted with a smile: "What cake do you want, I'll get it for you."

The middle-aged woman ignored Wang Yuling and went straight to open the door of the freezer. Wang Yuling opened the door for her with sharp eyes and quick hands, and said, "Which cake do you want, I will get it for you!" The man still ignored her, and went straight to pick up the cake with the tongs. The fresh cakes are very fluffy, and it takes a lot of skill to hold them, and the customer has no experience. He held the tongs in one hand and the tray in the other. Before it could be put into the tray, it fell to the ground with a "snap". Seeing this, Wang Yuling quickly took a rag and a mop to clean it up. The person seemed to find it very boring. The clerk next to her came up to hold the cake for her, and went to the cash register to pay.Wang Yuling was angry at first, but when she saw her going to pay the bill, she put down the mop, walked over to Tan Jing and said, "Two pieces of black forest."

Tan Jing was stunned for a moment, seeing that there was only one piece of black forest on the plate, and before she could say anything, the middle-aged woman shouted, "Why charge me two yuan!" "When you opened the freezer door, I asked you which piece of cake you wanted, and I took it for you, but you ignored me, and in the end, you were careless when you took it, and the cake fell on the floor..." "I didn't do it on purpose, so why ask me to pay for it?" "You dropped the cake on the ground, if you don't pay for it, do you ask me to pay for it?"

"Is what you said human? I didn't drop it on purpose. Who knows if you will pick up the cake that fell on the floor and sell it!" The middle-aged woman became furious, "I don't want this cake anymore!" Wang Yuling held her back and wouldn't let her go. The two of them argued for a while, and the manager on duty came over, and the middle-aged woman yelled, "What's your attitude? Buy a cake and sell it by force! I want to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau Complain to you!" "You can complain! You can complain anywhere!" Wang Yuling said angrily, "Anyway, you dropped this cake on the floor, so you have to pay for it!"

"What are you pulling me for? Let go!" "If I don't pull you, you want to run away! You pay for the cake and I'll let you go!" The middle-aged woman cursed loudly, very harshly.As soon as the doorbell rang, several customers entered the store. The manager on duty was afraid that Wang Yuling would argue with the customers again, so he pouted and motioned for Wang Yuling to greet the customers. responsibility, but we will not ask you for compensation this time. But this piece of Black Forest has been taken out of the freezer and packed for you, and you can pay for this piece of cake.”

The middle-aged woman saw that the guests who came in were all looking at her, and she became more arrogant: "I don't want this cake! If that person didn't push me just now, I wouldn't have dropped the cake on the floor! I won't buy it today Your cake is ready! Can you still force me?" Wang Yuling had already gone to greet the guests over there. When she heard this, she couldn't help rushing over and said, "Who pushed you? Make it clear! I opened the door for you, and at the same time said, which cake do you want?" I'll help you get it. In the end, you ignored me at all, dropped the cake on the ground by yourself, and even accused me of pushing you! Who pushed you?"

"You pushed me! How could the cake fall to the ground if you didn't push me?" "I never touched you!" "It's you who pushed me! I want to complain to you! You dropped the cake on the ground, and said I dropped it, forcing me to buy the cake back!" The middle-aged woman complacently pointed at the group of guests Yelling, "Don't buy their cakes! This is a black shop!" Wang Yuling was so angry that she trembled all over and couldn't even say a word.Tan Jing has never quarreled with others. Seeing her yelling at other guests, the manager on duty felt anxious and said, "We don't ask you for compensation anymore. You have to be responsible for what you say! Our colleagues didn't push you away." You, you dropped the cake yourself." "Did you see it with your own eyes? There were only the two of us in the freezer, and she pushed me! After she pushed it, she said that I dropped it myself, and the blood spurted!" "There should be a monitor at this angle." The guest who seemed to be watching the excitement suddenly pointed to the camera above the refrigerator, and interjected, "Turn out the surveillance video and watch it." The manager on duty was a little embarrassed: "We don't have the right to view the surveillance video. We can only apply to the security department of the head office, and the application goes up layer by layer. It usually takes several days." "Give them authorization." The guest turned to his companion and said. The person carrying the laptop immediately agreed, turned on the computer, entered the password and a series of instructions, and then turned the computer screen to face the crowd. It was just a picture from the monitor, which was clearly captured. I saw Wang Yuling opening the freezer door for the customer, and then the customer dropped the cake while holding the cake. Wang Yuling went to get the rag, and another clerk came forward and took another piece. Black Forest, packing for guests. The middle-aged woman was speechless. She wanted to take the opportunity to make a fuss, but she didn't expect that this group of customers were with the shop.Resentfully took out the money, and paid the bill while cursing: "Black shop!" The man smiled slightly: "We open the door for business and welcome customers to buy cakes. Customers are God, but God can't be unreasonable." The middle-aged woman took the cake and walked away resentfully.The manager on duty introduced himself nervously to the two guests: "Hello, I am the manager on duty of our store." "Hello, I'm a colleague from the Security Department. My surname is Sun." The person holding the computer introduced to the manager on duty, "This is also a colleague." But he didn't introduce the name of the person who spoke out just now. The manager on duty had already guessed that these two people were sent by the head office to inspect, so he was extremely annoyed, and hurriedly called Wang Yuling. The naughty guest scolded him several times.But fortunately, the person sent by the head office spoke for him, and adjusted the surveillance video to prove his innocence, so he finally didn't feel aggrieved.So she bowed her head and said nothing. The man said: "Today's matter, I need both of you to write one..." He paused, and then said, "An explanation letter, preferably in English, I need you to explain why you are arguing with the guest. Yes, I also need to explain to my superiors why the surveillance video was used by leaps and bounds. Please send this letter directly to your regional supervisor, and he will forward it to me." The management level of the company is strict, Wang Yuling has never dealt with the upper management, but the manager on duty knows a little bit.This colleague from the head office acted righteously and illegally used the surveillance video to let the unreasonable guests back out, which really did him and Wang Yuling a great favor.Hearing that he needs to explain to his boss, he nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, we will write an explanation letter." "OK, thank you for your cooperation." The man was very polite. He might be from the south, and his articulation was inaccurate when he spoke.Tan Jing couldn't help but looked up at him, just like all colleagues in the head office, he was wearing a light-colored shirt, and the cuffs were still buttoned up on a hot day.He doesn't look like Nie Yucheng at all, except for the non-standard Mandarin when he speaks. She felt that she must have lost her composure, because the man also noticed that she was looking at him, so he also glanced at her, and she quickly lowered her head, looking at her nose and heart. When the colleagues from the head office left and it was almost closing time, Wang Yuling worried while cleaning up the unsold bread on the shelves: "How should I write this letter of explanation?" The duty manager was also worried: "Let me call and ask." He called the duty managers of several other stores, and the duty managers of other stores seldom wrote any explanation letters. It failed the sanitation inspection and wrote a review in Chinese. The manager on duty and Wang Yuling were in the same place, and it was Wang Yuling who remembered: "Tan Jing, you read more, do you know how to write this letter of explanation?" "I haven't written it either..." Tan Jing thought for a while, "But the letter of explanation... should be called The letter of explanation in English, right? Just explain the matter clearly." Wang Yuling was overjoyed and said, "I even forgot that you are good at English, come on, you can help me write this letter of explanation!" The manager on duty also looked surprised: "Tan Jing, you can speak English?" Tan Jing quickly lowered her head, she was reluctant to mention the past, and just said lightly: "That is, I learned it in high school." "Stop talking, your English is much better than that of high school students. When you rented a house with me, there was only one radio, and you listened to that... BBC every day! I don't even know what Ji Li Gua is talking about, but you can understand it .” Tan Jing smiled faintly. It turned out that she had worked hard to learn English in order to go abroad with Nie Yucheng, but that was all in the past. After get off work, the manager on duty treats her and Wang Yuling to dinner.The duty manager has always liked to talk quietly.Because Tan Jing is diligent and diligent, she is never picky about her work.So he said: "Bring your son out, let's have a meal together." Tan Jing quickly said: "Don't bother, he is doing well at Grandma Chen's place. The child will follow us, eat for a while, and sleep for a while , can be troublesome." "Just pick it up." Wang Yuling interrupted, "I haven't seen Pingping for a while, pick it up and let me see." The manager on duty also pushed the boat along because he wanted to talk quietly: "Yeah, take him out, let's go eat something good." Tan Jing couldn't resist, so she had to go to pick up Sun Ping first.The child was very happy to see her, and even happier when he heard that he was going to take him to a restaurant for dinner.Tan Jing carefully told her to call someone, to be polite, and not to be picky when eating, and then she took the child to the appointed restaurant. The manager on duty only heard that Tan Jing was married and had children, which was the reason why she was willing to hire Tan Jing at that time—unmarried female shop assistants were too mobile, and the company might resign and leave just after the induction training.Therefore, employees with families and children are more stable.The manager on duty also patiently teased Sun Ping, and said to Tan Jing with a smile: "You are so young, and the child is so old, you are really lucky." Tan Jing smiled, she didn't like to talk, especially in front of the manager on duty.On the other hand, Sun Ping seldom went to the restaurant to eat, and couldn't help staring around with a pair of jet-black eyes.But he has always been very obedient, listening to everyone talking, not interrupting to ask questions, just eating honestly.Wang Yuling said: "Hey, every time I see Pingping, I want to marry someone, so I can give birth to such a good baby, it's so painful." The manager on duty said with a smile: "Only Tan Jing is so refined that she can give birth to such a good baby. If you marry someone, you will only give birth to a mischievous ghost." Wang Yuling made a face behind the duty manager's back.The duty manager usually doesn't like Wang Yuling very much, and Wang Yuling is always a thorn in the side.But this time because of the unreasonable guest, the manager on duty and Wang Yuling felt a sense of common hatred.After eating, the two of them took a blank piece of paper and wrote the letter of explanation. Wang Yuling's composition was not very good, she could barely reach a fluent sentence, but the manager on duty wrote quite well, with clear order.The manager on duty saw that Wang Yuling had written for a long time before writing a few words, so he took her piece of paper and said, "I can write it for you." After a while, the manager on duty finished writing for Wang Yuling, and handed it over to Tan Jing for translation.Tan Jing looked at the letters written by the two people, and they all started from the customer taking the cake, so she boldly suggested, saying: "The managers of the company heard that many of them came back from abroad, and they don't understand the domestic And their understanding angle is not the same as ours. Since we are asked to write an explanation letter in English, it must be read by someone who is more familiar with English. When the former staff was training, the training teacher said that no matter what the reason, It’s wrong to quarrel with customers. As shop assistants, if we quarrel with customers, the managers will feel that we have done something wrong. So why don’t we put the customer who framed Wang Yuling and pushed her to the front to show that we are not quarreling with her, We're fighting with her." The duty manager said, "Yes! Yes! That's it!" Tan Jing slightly modified the content of the two letters, and then devoted herself to translating them.Although Tan Jing has worked hard to learn English, but after so many years of losing it, she can't think of many words for a while, and even if she thinks of them, she can't be sure whether they are right or wrong.Finally, I finally translated the general content.The three of them found another Internet cafe, and Tan Jing checked and revised them one by one with an online dictionary, and finally finished translating the two explanation letters in the middle of the night.Although the two letters were very simple, Tan Jing hadn't done a similar translation for a long time, so she checked it three or four times before she said to the duty manager and Wang Yuling, "It should be about the same." According to the idea of ​​the manager on duty, he wanted to find a small shop for typing and copying the next day, and print out these two letters and send them to the head office.Tan Jing said: "Although it is sent in the city, it takes several days to go around the post office. It is better to send an email directly." Although the manager on duty often chats online, he has never sent an email, so Tan Jing still handles it on his behalf.She hadn't used a computer for several years, and when she opened the free email page, she entered a user name almost without thinking, and just halfway through typing, she froze in a daze.Seeing her in a daze, Wang Yuling asked, "What's the matter?" "It's okay." She quickly deleted that row of usernames, re-entered the homepage and registered a random email address, and then sent the email to the email address of the regional supervisor in charge of their store. Because this matter was handled very smoothly, the manager on duty was also very grateful, and said to Tan Jing: "Thank you! I really didn't expect that there are talents like you in our store." Tan Jing smiled and said: "It should be, besides, what happened today is obviously wrong with that customer. The duty manager, you are also speaking for us, so you are writing this letter." It was very late when they came out of the Internet cafe.Sun Ping fell asleep a long time ago, and when Tan Jing was translating the letter, Wang Yuling hugged Pingping for her.At this time, the subway had also stopped, and Wang Yuling lived nearby, so she said to Tan Jing: "Why don't you and Pingping go to my place to make do for the night, and you have to work in the morning tomorrow." Tan Jing was tired and sleepy holding the baby alone.She wanted to go home by herself. It would be fine if Sun Zhijun was on the night shift, but if he was at home, she might have another fight. She was really tired today, and she didn't want to take the baby and make several bus transfers, so she agreed. Wang Yuling shared a room with a fellow villager, and the house was in such a mess that Tan Jing couldn't see it, so she tidied it up casually.Wang Yuling said: "You are just too virtuous." Tan Jing smiled, hung a lot of clothes in the simple wardrobe, and asked her, "What are you and Liang Yuanan going to do?" "What should I do?" Wang Yuling's ears turned red all of a sudden, "What do I have to do with Liang Yuanan?" "Don't you like him?" Wang Yuling immediately got up from the bed: "Who said I like him!" Tan Jing just smiled and said nothing, Wang Yuling stared at her for a while, like a deflated ball: "Tan Jing, why do you know everything." Tan Jing just patted her on the shoulder and said, "Liang Yuan'an is a nice person with a good heart, but he's a little too extravagant." "That's right, he is a senior mounter, and his monthly salary is much higher than ours, but he can't save any money. After finally saving some money last year, he sent it back to his hometown to make a dowry for his sister. Who would After marrying him, why don’t you drink northwest wind with him.” Wang Yuling seemed rather troubled, “Besides, he likes to drink some wine when he’s fine. I’m really a little scared when I talk about Jingjing.” Of course Tan Jing knew what she was afraid of, that Liang Yuanan was like Sun Zhijun.Thinking about her life, she pursed her lips slightly, but she didn't want to say anything anymore.Seeing that her brows were frowning, Wang Yuling quickly comforted her: "Tan Jing, don't be angry, I didn't mean that. Sigh... I just can't speak, this mouth is too stupid, it always makes people angry. " Tan Jing forced a smile: "I'm not angry. You are right to think about it. Marriage is a very solemn thing. If you think about it more, you will have less trouble in the future." "I don't even understand why you married Sun Zhijun." Wang Yuling is a straightforward person, "Honestly speaking, he really doesn't deserve you." Tan Jing smiled and said: "What is worthy and not worthy, it's just my own fate." At this time, for some reason, Pingping woke up on the bed, rubbed his eyes and called "Mom".Tan Jing hurried over to pat him on the back, but he scratched his belly, rubbed his eyes, and said, "I didn't take a shower... I couldn't sleep." It was too boring in the Internet cafe just now, both mother and son were sweating. Granny Chen took good care of Sun Ping and bathed him every day in summer.The child was used to sleeping cleanly, so he was clearly asleep, but he still woke up at this time. Wang Yuling hurriedly found a new towel for Tan Jing: "Go take a bath, this house has a water heater, so it's very comfortable to take a bath." The water heater was indeed comfortable for bathing. Sun Ping stood under the shower, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.He muttered, "Mom, let's buy a water heater too." The child seldom asked her for anything because he was too sensible.Knowing that her illness cost a lot of money, her salary will never be enough.Tan Jing thought sadly that she should really buy a water heater. Every time she bathed Sun Ping, she used a gas stove to boil water, especially in winter, when she boiled a large pot.Every time after taking a bath, the mother and son are sweating again, and the water can't be saved.But she also went to the shopping mall to see that there are brands of water heaters that cost more than 1,000 yuan, and she dare not buy a water heater that is too poor, for fear of accidents. After taking a bath, she carried the child back to the bed, and Wang Yuling said, "You two sleep here, I'll go to the next door to squeeze with the villagers." Tan Jing wanted to decline, but Wang Yuling had already taken her clothes and went to take a bath. When Tan Jing was lying on the bed, she temporarily put the water heater behind her head. She was very tired today, especially translating the two explanation letters in the Internet cafe.There are many people in the Internet cafe, and it is stuffy, and many people are smoking, the air is really dirty.She checked the words word by word, corrected the grammar, and changed again and again, as if she was completing a difficult homework. In the past, Nie Yucheng always edited English compositions for her. He learned everything faster and better than her.She is already known as a good student, but for him, she is really far behind.And his achievements usually do not come from hard work. "That's because I'm smart." He always poked her forehead with his finger, "Stupid girl." So many years have passed, I never thought that I would open the homepage of my mailbox and still remember that username.Maybe she is really stupid, that's why she can't forget everything about the past. She was really sleepy, with a kind of weakness of physical and mental exhaustion, and the sound of short and flat breathing was right next to her ears. It was different from the breathing of ordinary people, and children often couldn't breathe.Every time she went to the hospital, the doctor told her that an operation was necessary, but where would she go to get the astronomical operation fee. She must figure out a way, half asleep, half awake, she thought vaguely, she must also figure out a way. "Doctor Nie." Nie Yucheng turned around, saw that it was a colleague, and said hello lightly: "Doctor Li." "Today you quarreled with Director Fang with a blushing face and a thick neck, which is really eye-opening." Dr. Li said with a smile, "First, you quarreled in Chinese, halfway through the quarrel, you switched to English, and finally changed to German. Pukins's latest papers all come up with theories, including genetics, and it's really rare to quarrel at such a high level." Nie Yucheng lowered his head and said, "The director is studying in Germany, and he speaks German better than me." "It's not a matter of good German. You are the first to argue with Director Fang!" Dr. Li couldn't help but shook his finger and said, "The whole hospital, even the president, dare not You said everything you said. You are amazing, I am convinced." "Director Fang opposes the introduction of this project because it is too risky. But for newborns, even traditional heart surgery is still very risky." Nie Yucheng sighed, "But the progress of human medicine is based on At the cost of risk and failure, we just give patients one more choice." "But that medical company gives high subsidies, and patients who may have difficulties in life will have to choose this kind of surgery." Director Fang's words seemed to resound clearly, "Nie Yucheng, I know you don't think so. Patients must choose this operation because they have no money for conventional heart surgery. Parents of doctors, have you ever thought that if you are the parent of a patient and you are forced to choose a high-risk and immature surgical plan, you will What kind of psychological pressure and guilt did you bear?" "But if they don't have the money to do conventional surgery, they will still delay the disease or even die." He retorted calmly and rationally, "It's better for us to give patients a chance than not to give them a chance." "Are you giving an opportunity? What you are giving is a ridiculous choice. Treating patients as targets for practicing immature plans, you are a doctor, have you ever thought that every cut you make is a life?" Director Fang finally got angry His face was so red, he pointed directly at the door of the meeting room, "Nie Yucheng, get out of here!" He was taken aback for a moment, then walked out of the conference room very calmly.Within half a day, the entire department knew about this dispute.Everyone didn't think who was right and who was wrong. They had been in the clinic for too long, and sometimes they even became numb when they saw patients. Especially in the cardiothoracic surgery department, life and death were staged in the ward almost every day.When Nie Yucheng first arrived at the hospital, he tried to rescue a patient all night, but he failed.The patient's family members were crying outside the operating room. He rushed into the bathroom and turned on the faucet, tears streaming down his face. A living life passed away quietly like this. People who have never experienced it will not have that kind of strong shock and horror.But so what?Eventually even he got used to it.He will do his best to treat patients, he will stand by the operating table for hours with concentration, but if the end result is unfortunate, then admit that it is fate. Doctor Li was very considerate of his feelings, patted his shoulder, and said, "I know, you are for the patient in the fourteenth bed." It was a very cute little baby, only six months old, who was sent to their hospital because of a particularly complicated congenital heart disease.In order to treat their child, the young parents had already sold their house in the country and borrowed money from relatives and friends, but they still couldn't make up the surgery fee.Yesterday, he finally asked to be discharged from the hospital. The young father held his hand, and the corner of his mouth was trembling: "Dr. Nie, thank you, my baby is not so lucky, so let her come to this world for nothing. We really have no choice but to die. Yes, go back and make another one." He watched the young mother bend over and hold the child, crying all the way, all the way to go through the discharge procedures. There were too many such things in the hospital, too many to enumerate, and he still felt sad.At times like this, even a glimmer of hope is better than despair, right?So when the foreign medical company proposed a subsidy plan, he suggested Director Fang to accept it without hesitation.As a result, during the meeting, the two argued about this matter. Director Fang's words actually make sense, and it's not that he doesn't know.There is no free lunch in this world, let alone a capitalist multinational medical equipment company.The purpose of all subsidies is naturally to fully promote new types of artificial cardiovascular and artificial pacemakers, heart stents and other equipment. He was just a little depressed and a little unwilling.Can't help but sigh. Dr. Li heard him sigh and said, "Don't worry, the director is doing it for your own good. If it were someone else, he wouldn't bother to scold him." He also knows that Director Fang has always been partial to him, and always takes him with him in all large-scale consultations and difficult operations. This experience is actually the rarest.Director Fang was originally a doctoral supervisor, and he had several doctors under him. Although he was not a student of Director Fang, he was the most valued one among all the doctors in the department, especially the young doctors. Moreover, Director Fang had always been selfless to him. Teach each other. When he got off work at night, he went to the parking lot and happened to meet Director Fang.The hospital has provided cars for the directors of each department, especially for such a respected authority as Director Fang, they are not only provided with a car, but also have a driver.Nie Yucheng watched the driver open the hood of the car and was busy tinkering with something. He probably broke down the car.Although it was already dusk, the parking lot of the hospital was an open-air concrete floor, and there were bursts of heat waves. The west-slanting sun shone on the glass curtain of the outpatient building and reflected back, making people even more uncomfortable. Nie Yucheng hurried over and asked the driver, "What's the matter?" "It's broken again." The driver said helplessly, "It seems that the battery is dead." "Or, the director can take my car." Nie Yucheng said, "It's too hot." Director Fang glanced at him, seemingly noncommittal.Nie Yucheng said: "I just have two questions. I want to ask you about the patients in bed 35." Although Director Fang is still angry, he never embarrasses Nie Yucheng in front of administrative staff or patients.This is probably also a short-term protection.Sometimes he scolded Nie Yucheng in front of a room full of doctors, but as soon as nurses or other administrative staff came in, he immediately silenced him. So several doctoral students led by Director Fang always joked that Nie Yucheng was actually like Director Fang's closed disciple, because he was scolded the most.Director Fang once said to his students: "It is for your own good to scold you, and it is for your own good to scold you in front of professionals. If there are outsiders around, I will not talk about it. Laymen don't know how to do it. You are a doctor. You should have your own majesty in front of patients." Now in front of the driver, Director Fang certainly won't refute his face. Nie Yucheng drove a Buick, which was neither good nor bad among young doctors.At first, Director Fang hated seeing him, saying that buying a car when he was young and just starting work was the temper of the young master.After a long time, I realized that Nie Yusheng didn’t need any money from his family at all. He started speculating in stocks and futures when he was studying in the United States, and the income was pretty good. Nie Yucheng turned on the air conditioner to the maximum, and then Director Fang said a word to him: "Do you know the address of my home?" "I know." During Chinese New Year, Nie Yucheng was called by director Fang to eat at home, because when he was on duty, Nie Yucheng took the initiative to ask for the night shift on New Year's Eve.Although Director Fang didn't say anything, he saw everything in his eyes, and asked him to go to his house for dinner the next day.Director Fang leads by example, and every time he is on duty, he is on the first day of the new year.Director Fang's wife works in the city library. She is knowledgeable and virtuous. She has heard Director Fang praise Nie Yucheng countless times at home, so she treats him like her nephew and cooks a table of dishes for him.Director Fang seldom entertains his colleagues at his home, so colleagues in the department always tell jokes, saying that Director Fang really loves Nie Yucheng, but it is a pity that the director does not have a daughter, otherwise he will definitely marry his daughter to Nie Yucheng. While driving, Nie Yucheng asked Director Fang about the treatment plan for patients with 35 beds. There were two things he couldn't figure out why. Director Fang was always very rigorous professionally and explained it to him very carefully.At the end, Director Fang said, "I scolded you this afternoon for your own good." "I know." "Those foreign companies, how can they be so kind, spend so much money to subsidize patients, and they don't want us to use their equipment." "I see." "You are young. If you strongly support this project, you will be responsible for any problems in the future. The personnel relationship in the hospital is complicated. I don't want you to make mistakes." This time Nie Yucheng paused for a moment before saying, "Thank you, Director." "I have been in the hospital for decades. I have taught countless students and brought out a bunch of apprentices. Now I am getting older, but I am getting less and less courageous." Director Fang sighed a little, "I also know that sometimes, I obviously want to To save people, but to harm people instead.” Nie Yucheng was a little uneasy. He rarely saw this side of Director Fang. In the department, especially when it came to professional issues, he was always tough and even domineering.Young doctors were afraid of him, and even the dean gave him three points. While waiting for the red light, Director Fang said, "Well, you can do a risk assessment of that company's project. When the time comes, I'll hand it over to the vice president of business." Nie Yucheng was very surprised and turned around: "Director..." "In fact, what you said makes sense." Director Fang seemed a little tired. "Doctors are parents. As parents, even if there is one ten-thousandth hope, they will definitely try. It is better for us to give patients a chance than not to give them a chance." Be nice." When getting out of the car, Director Fang said, "Both my sons are unwilling to study medicine. So..." He patted Nie Yucheng on the shoulder, but said nothing. Although Director Fang agreed to consider introducing this project, Nie Yusheng always felt unhappy.For him, this project is just an alternative.Domestic medical security is not perfect, although the foreign ones are not much better.No matter where they are, there will always be people who look down on doctors, not to mention that the cardiothoracic surgery involving them is usually complicated and major surgery.Those medical expenses are enough to bring down a poor family. A mature surgical plan is always the first choice, and when there are not many clinical cases of this new type of equipment, it is natural to use as little as possible.He devoted himself to translating the materials for a few days, and handed them over to Director Fang after finishing them.After handing in the materials, I seemed a little regretful, but stopped talking. Director Fang seemed to know him very well, and said, "Don't worry, if the hospital really decides to introduce it, there must be an entire expert group for argumentation, and it won't be decided lightly." 聂宇晟从主任的办公室出来，想了想去病房转一圈，这也是他的工作习惯。如果是上白班，除了早上查房之外，每天差不多固定的时候，他会去病房看看。早上查房的时候人多嘴杂，有些细节不见得能留意到。等大查房结束后再抽时间去病房，可以更仔细地跟病人交流。 今天他到病房的时间比较早，正好撞上探视时间。所以各个病房里头都比平时热闹，差不多都有访客。聂宇晟走到七号病房门口，突然听到有人叫自己名字，回头一看，原来是舒琴。 她手里捧着一束花，笑吟吟地看着他。 聂宇晟以为她是来探视病人的，于是说：“你那位同事转到十六号病房去了，那里条件更好一点儿。” 因为刚开始为了住院，他曾经跟方主任撒谎说那病人是自己的亲戚，没想到方主任还真的特别关照，不仅打招呼让提前入院，而且等双人病房一空出来，立刻让人把那病人给转进去了。舒琴说：“我知道，我去看过他了。”把手里的花递给他，“送你的，白衣天使。” 聂宇晟怔了一下，才接过去：“谢谢。” “谢谢你才是真的，听说你亲自主刀，手术结果让人非常满意。” “心脏搭桥只是小手术，也没什么。” 舒琴笑出声来：“好了，聂大医生，知道你技术精湛，心脏搭桥对你而言都只是个小手术。可是我是受人之托，我们副总的家人，还有我们董事长，一定要请你吃饭。” “不用了。”聂宇晟说，“我完成我的工作而已，而且我们医院有规定，不准接受病人宴请。” “他们之前还打算送你红包，被我给阻止了，我说千万别给，不然他会扔出来的。”舒琴扮个鬼脸，“我真是了解你，对吧？” 聂宇晟不由得淡淡地笑了笑，正巧有护士经过，看到他手捧鲜花站在那里正和一个年轻漂亮的女人说话，而且破天荒地看到聂医生的嘴角竟然有一抹浅浅的笑意，这简直是前所未有的事情。小护士几乎被吓了一跳，目不转睛，打量完他又打量舒琴。聂宇晟觉察他们俩站在走廊里很引人注目，于是说：“我还在上班呢，没别的事，我就去病房了。” “我也算病人家属吧？我了解了解我们副总的病情不行啊？” “他术后恢复得很好，明后天就可以出院了。” “无论如何，这个饭局你一定要去，救人一命胜造七级浮屠，你就当救我吧。”舒琴双掌合十，“拜托！拜托！” “我已经救了你们副总，不用再救你了，你也没有心脏病。”聂宇晟丝毫不为之所动，“谢谢你的花，也替我谢谢你们副总的盛情，吃饭就免了。” 舒琴知道他不爱应酬，所以今天来也只是勉力一试，听见他说不去，亦是意料之中。她笑了笑，也不再多说。 聂宇晟拿着这束花，倒不知道该如何是好。走回办公室去，放在桌子上。坐在他对面的就是李医生，看他拿着花进来，打趣他：“哟，暗恋者送的？” 全医院的小护士几乎都暗恋聂宇晟，以前还有人专门在食堂守候，就为了看聂宇晟一眼。聂宇晟每次在外头吃饭都是敷衍，医院食堂的大锅菜，当然更难对他的胃口。所以每次去食堂吃饭，都是匆匆忙忙拨拉完。那些小护士常常在食堂里头等一个小时，聂宇晟就出现十分钟，已经吃完走人了。 “不是，朋友送的。”聂宇晟把住院记录找出来，虽然现在已经电脑建档了，可是医院仍旧要求医生亲笔手写一份。每天写住院记录也是个体力活，尤其聂宇晟管的病人多，经常一写就是几个小时。 刚写了几行字，电话就响起来，他一看是舒琴，以为她忘了问自己什么事，于是就接了。 谁知道她只是问：“没把我的花丢在垃圾桶吧？” “当然没有，好好供在桌子上呢。” “谅你也不会把我送的花丢垃圾桶，毕竟咱们是患难之交。”舒琴朗声笑着，“副总请你吃饭你不去，我请你吃饭你肯吗？” “为什么？难道你又要相亲？” “倒不是相亲，这次为了搞定住院的事，全公司上下都传说，我的男朋友在医院当医生，所以公司周年庆，一定要我携男友参加。” “我欠你的人情好像已经还清了。” “是，是。我不敢劳动大驾陪我去周年庆，可是一般周年庆吃完饭之后还要去唱K，我就想请你在我吃完饭之后，开车去接一下我。你知道我五音不全，就让我免于出丑，吃完饭有个理由走人好不好？” “我也许那天上夜班。” “聂医生，求你了！看在在美国的时候，我天天烧土豆牛肉给你吃的分上，搭救兄弟一把！” “好吧，如果那天不上夜班，我可以去接你。” “谢谢谢谢，聂医生你真是白衣天使！” 舒琴一边开车一边讲电话，听到聂宇晟答应，不由得松了口气。挂断电话取下蓝牙，开车直奔公司。刚刚走进电梯，忽然看到一个人，不由得笑容微敛，却点头打了个招呼：“盛经理。” 盛方庭也点点头：“舒经理，你好。” 盛方庭是空降到公司的，年纪不大，资历尚浅，但他所主管的企划部却是很重要的部门。他跟公司里的两派人马似乎都不太合得来，素来独来独往。正因为如此，两派反倒似乎都挺忌惮他，怕把他推到另一方的阵营里去了。 进办公室之后舒琴坐下来喝了杯水，助理抱着一堆资料进来给她，问：“您和盛经理一起上来？” “电梯里头遇上了。”舒琴头也没抬，“对了，盛方庭点名要求一个门店的值班经理调到总公司来当他的助理，我让你去打听打听是什么来头，打听清楚没有？” “打听清楚了。”助理笑着说，“说起来可笑，据说是盛方庭去巡店，正好遇见这个值班经理跟顾客有争执，盛方庭就让他写了封解释信，结果那封信写得声情并茂，有理有据。最最重要的是，这是The letter of explanation，你知道下面那些值班经理的英文水平，恨不得二十六个字母都认不全。没想到这位值班经理竟然文理通顺，一个单词都没有拼错。据说当时区域督导都惊讶了，立刻把信转给盛方庭。盛方庭看完之后，就向我们要求，调用这个值班经理去当他的助理。” 盛方庭有海外留学的背景，所以一贯作风很洋派，上一个助理就是因为英文不好被他打发的。舒琴耸了耸肩，说道：“这封信能让盛方庭点名要人，那么把这封信找来给我看看。” “好的。”助理乖巧地说，“回头我就发到您邮箱。” “原文就是电邮？” “是的，是电邮。” “是直接发给区域督导，并没有CC盛方庭？” 助理点点头。 舒琴说：“这个人还真是……先把邮件给我看吧。” 助理回到自己的办公室，马上就把邮件抄送给舒琴，舒琴一目十行地看过，觉得这封信确实写得不错，逻辑上滴水不漏，情感上不卑不亢，作为一个值班经理而言，难能可贵，甚至比有些店长还要强。怪不得盛方庭一眼相中。 既然盛方庭执意要这么一个人，那么就让他称心如意吧。舒琴想，这都是小事，反倒可以让盛方庭觉得，欠自己一个人情。 谈静是在上班的时候接到派出所电话的，本来店里的电话工作时间不借给私人用，但接电话的店员听对方说是派出所，要找谈静，不由得吓了一大跳，连忙叫谈静去接。 谈静也被吓了一跳，还没来得及多想，已经听见电话那头问：“你是孙志军的妻子？” “是的。”谈静有点慌神，“孙志军出事了吗？他怎么了？” “他好得很，你来一趟派出所办手续吧！” 谈静更觉得心慌意乱，可是电话那头没容她多问，三下五除二告诉她姓名地址，就把电话给挂了。
