Chapter 241: Such A Coincidence
No wonder!
“Alright, alright. Then hurry up and go to school. Don’t be late.”
There were no parents or teachers around. They couldn’t possibly make a child pay the fees, right?
It was also unlikely for a child to carry too much cash on him, of course, except for a select few.
Anyway, the fish bones were extracted by hand. It was fine if she didn’t charge the fees.
“Thank you, doctor jie-jie and ge-ge.”
Guan Xiaodong scratched his head:
“You’re welcome. Go to school.”
“Okay!” The child nodded heavily before turning around to leave.
Jiang Tingxu was still worried and chased after him for a few steps:
“Child, be careful on the road!”
“Got it!”
Such a young child was really very worrying. It was even more worrying if he were outside all by himself.
...
In the afternoon, Jiang Tingxu was getting ready to go home from work.
Her son had told her to go home earlier and to get some rest.
However, before she could change out of her white coat, she received a call from Doctor Zhao.
“Dr Jiang, are you busy tonight?”
“I should be fine.”
After all, she didn’t need to pick up her son. Her son was also sleeping at the old residence tonight. She didn’t really have much to do since she would be on her own.
“Dr Jiang, could you help out with the night shift?”
It happened suddenly. The car broke down, and I’m at least a two hours’ drive away. I really can’t make it back to work in time.”
“Okay.”
Anyway, she didn’t have anything to do at night.
“That’s great. Thank you so much. I’ll help you out next week. Dr Jiang, I love you. Mwah!”
“Are you with Dr Wu?”
“F*ck. Right, he’s also found someone to replace him.”
Pfft, could this be considered solid evidence?
“That’s good. It’s safer with Dr Wu around. I’m hanging up now.”
“Oh, okay.”
Since she had to work the night shift, it was better to hurry up and go to the cafeteria for dinner.
The emergency department at night was much busier than during the day!
If she didn’t hurry up, she would have to wait until midnight before she would be free to have dinner.
Yes, she still had to go to the nurses’ station to greet them.
Qiao Ran was the happiest when she learned that Jiang Tingxu was going to work the night shift tonight.
“Wow, Dr Jiang, I’m also working the night shift tonight!
Let’s go to the cafeteria.”
The Head Nurse smiled and shook her head. Then, she used a marker to change Dr Zhao’s name to Jiang Tingxu on the whiteboard next to her.
Jiang Tingxu did not notice that the person who replaced Doctor Wu was actually Department Director Pei.
It was not until she arrived at the canteen with Qiao Ran that she realized that Pei Rusi, who was supposed to go home from work, was swiping his card to prepare his meal.
“Why didn’t Dr Jiang leave?”
“Department Director Pei hasn’t left either.”
Pei Rusi nodded and continued,
“Doctor Wu couldn’t come because he had something to do. I’m on night duty for him tonight.”
Qiao Ran was the first to burst into laughter:
“Fate is really wonderful. Director Pei, do you know who is on duty for Doctor Zhao tonight?”
Eh?
Pei Rusi’s gaze shifted from Qiao Ran to Jiang Tingxu:
“It can’t be such a coincidence. It’s Dr Jiang, right?”
“It’s indeed quite a coincidence. It’s me.”
Qiao Ran burst into laughter:
“Since it’s such a coincidence, let’s have dinner together.”
Pei Rusi and Jiang Tingxu did not have any objections to this. After they finished eating, the three of them found an empty table and sat down.
In fact, as colleagues who got along with each other every day, it was not so awkward after getting to know each other. Moreover, as medical staff, there were too many topics to talk about, so there was no need to worry about awkward situations at all.
So far, the most serious case that the department had received during the day was the family of four who had food poisoning.
So, they talked about it at lunch, and still talked about it at dinner.
