Chapter 281: Little Zi, You’re Simply a Treasure!
Dou Jingning headed elsewhere with his phone to answer the call.
Dou Zerui looked at him leaving and whispered to Dou Xiangling, “Say, why did Lu Jingye call First Uncle at this time?”
How could Dou Xiangling possibly know?
Dou Zerui made a guess. “Perhaps he had gotten to know of grandfather’s situation and specially made a call to check up on him. After all, he’s…”
Speaking up to here, he glanced at the people surrounding him and subconsciously lowered his voice. “He’s Yiyi’s boyfriend.”
Dou Zerui admired Lu Jingye’s behavior even though he did not wish for his cousin to date him.
Dou Jingning returned very soon with a livid expression.
Everyone was surprised to see his expression.
“Eldest Uncle, what’s wrong?” Dou Xiangling asked in concern.
Dou Jingning said, “Little Zi is getting attacked all over the net.”
“What?!”
Dou Zerui and Dou Xiangling raised their voices.
Even the expressions of Dou Xiaoyong and Dou Zhiyuan sitting beside them had darkened.
They stood up concurrently and Dou Xiaoyong asked, “What did they write about her?”
Dou Jingning gave them a simple rundown.
Dou Xiaoyong sneered. “What does our family business have to do with those outsiders? This won’t do, I can’t watch on and see Little Zi getting attacked.”
Ever since last night’s incident, their attitude towards Zi Yi had changed drastically.
When they heard of Zi Yi getting attacked all over the net, they were also furious.
Someone hastily checked their social media and everyone finally discovered what had happened.
“Someone must be deliberately trolling her. The netizens were originally discussing that car of hers and later on, someone exposed her past.”
“Do they simply have nothing better to do?!”
The more they talked, the angrier they got.
Dou Jingning spoke up. “All of you, quieten down.”
He then said to Dou Xiaoyong and Dou Zhiyuan, “Reporters have flooded the hospital entrance. The three of us shall go and clarify on Zi Yi’s behalf.”
Dou Xiaoyong and Dou Zhiyuan nodded in unison.
Thus, the three of them headed towards the elevator.
In fact, the others had also wanted to tag along but Dou Jingning turned around and said, “Stay here. Jingye has already made arrangements down there and it’ll cause more trouble than help with too many people.”
Having said that, he told Dou Xiangling, “Xiangling, go upstairs and keep guard. If Little Zi comes out from the office, don’t let her leave first.”
Dou Xiangling hastily stood up. “I understand.”
…
Regardless of how big of a commotion happened outside, the group of people sitting in the office had a serious expression. Each and every one of them had a notebook and a pen in their hands.
That’s right, they were taking notes.
Zi Yi explained to them the emergency procedures for cerebral hemorrhage and the treatment plan.
The treatment method she revealed to them had overturned what they had known and all of them were flushed with excitement.
After Zi Yi finally managed to get them to understand, after much difficulty, Deputy Pang excitedly asked, “Little Zi, that medical equipment you made was able to effectively control the bleeding and… I believe that the equipment does not exist in either our hospital or the whole medical industry. How did you build it?”
Obviously, she would not say that she was from the Interstella era. In the end, she talked rubbish with a serious expression. “I like reading books related to this field and I am also interested in various medical instruments. Therefore, I had combined various medical cases to come up with it. Also, I would often purchase tools to try building it and that was how the medical equipment came about. It must have been because I was under pressure last night that I was somehow able to create it.”
Elder Dou was her grandfather, and that it was normal for Zi Yi to be anxious upon seeing her grandfather in critical condition. In the end, they believed in her explanation.
However…
“Little Zi is truly talented with medical equipment. If you are interested, you can come to our First Hospital’s medical equipment storage room to play around.”
In any case, someone would pay for the bill even if it gets damaged.
Deputy Pang recalled the promise Lu Jingye made and did not feel any pressure when he made the suggestion.
Zi Yi glanced at Director Pang. Even though she did not know what Ah Jing had said to him, the medical equipment in this hospital was indeed pretty good. She merely pondered for a moment and agreed to it.
After having stayed up all night and skipping dinner last night, Zi Yi was not intending to speak another additional word after this.
The specialists could do nothing to persuade her and so, they allowed her to leave.
Before she left, Qiao He called out to Zi Yi, “Little Zi, are you that student who entered through M.Uni’s Independent Enrollment with the top scores?”
Zi Yi responded with an affirmative.
Qiao He smiled and said, “Your medical skills are pretty good. I think that you will have a bright future if you study in the Medical School.
Zi Yi looked at him.
He added, “I am a specially appointed professor of the M.Uni’s Medical School and I usually give lectures there. If you have the inclination in this field, you can come look for me.”
“I’m not interested.” Zi Yi did not intend to beat around the bush and she directly rejected his offer. “I’m only interested in medical equipment. I’m not at all interested in studying medicine.”
Qiao He was somewhat disappointed at her reply, but he could not possibly force her. In the end, he said, “You can consider it. In fact, having medical skills is beneficial for you, your relatives, and your friends.”
“Okay.”
Only then did they walk out of the office and Qiao He struck up another conversation. “You’re not interested in medicine but you have a vast knowledge about it. Little Zi, you’re a treasure.”
Just as Zi Yi wanted to reply, she saw Dou Xiangling standing in the corridor and she was obviously waiting for her.
She said to Qiao He, “I’ll make a move first.”
Qiao He nodded and said, “Little Zi, come over and play sometime.”
Zi Yi did not feel anything after hearing that. Instead, Dou Xiangling had looked towards Qiao He in surprise.
It had to be known that Qiao He was the gold medal Chief Physician in the First Hospital and he usually had a serious attitude. He would never appear to be so enthusiastic and kind to a person.
Zi Yi merely faintly responded and came over to Dou Xiangling’s side.
Dou Xiangling looked at her with a complicated gaze.
However, Zi Yi asked, “Do you have anything to eat?”
In fact, Dou Xiangling indeed had something. She took out two pieces of chocolate from her handbag and passed them to her. “If you’re hungry, we can eat something at the canteen.”
“No, I’ll go home and eat.”
Zi Yi then tore the wrapping and stuffed one piece of chocolate into her mouth and passed the other back to Dou Xiangling.
Dou Xiangling revealed a smile and took the chocolate and the both of them headed to the elevator.
After entering the elevator, Zi Yi directly pressed the first story.
Dou Xiangling’s eyelids twitched and hastily stopped her. “Yiyi, you’re not planning to see Grandpa first?”
Zi Yi blinked her drowsy eyes. “He’s still in the ICU and the Chief Physician said he would update me about his condition. What’s there to visit him for?”
Dou Xiangling pursed her lips and kept quiet for a moment as she tried her best to come up with an excuse. “Even if you can’t visit Grandpa right now, you should at least greet the rest of the family?”
“Im not going. I don’t know them well.”
She was truly unfamiliar with the rest of the Dou Family members. Perhaps she might even be unwelcomed if she went to greet them. She was not a fool to be a scarecrow[1] and be a target of their criticism.
