"It was… fine . " Although Deputy Director Guo didn't want to admit the cruel truth, he couldn't lie in front of so many experts .
"Thank you, Deputy Director . " Huo Mian smiled at him .
Director Wu waved . "Sit down, Huo Mian . "
Huo Mian nodded and sat down . . .
Director Wu added many things to the discussion before ending the meeting an hour later .
When Huo Mian was walking out, Director Wu's assistant stopped her, "Wait, Huo Mian, the director wants to talk to you . "
The people in the meeting room left slowly, and soon, only Huo Mian and Director Wu were left in the room .
"Huo Mian, you did well today . "
"No, I'm just stating facts . " Huo Mian was a little shy .
"I'll make improvements based on your suggestions . Actually… South Side should've been fixed long ago, it was just that at every single meeting, people beat around the bushes and nobody wanted to take the lead . Sadly, I never had an excuse to implement any new policies . You speaking out today made me feel much better . You're right, doctors should act like doctors, and they can't work in a foul environment . "
"Eh, Director, don't listen to my blabber, I'm just stating my opinions, haha . "
"No, your opinions were very useful and I learned a lot from them . There's only one thing that I regret . "
"What is it?" Huo Mian was a little confused .
"You have such a great gift, why don't you try for a medical degree while you're still young? If you start now, you'll definitely find success in the medical field . Last week, the British Royal Hospital gave us an exchange opportunity . It's a 6-month ophthalmology discussion and exchange program . I really want you to go, what do you think?"
"Director Wu, I'm not familiar in the field of ophthalmology, haha . "
"You don't have to hide it from me, I know . Before Xiaoxue and Ning Zhiyuan got married, I got somebody to investigate into him . You wrote all of his ophthalmology papers for him, is that correct?"
"Uh…" Being exposed made Huo Mian quite uncomfortable .
"Sorry, Director Wu . I shouldn't have lied to you for him . "
"No, you didn't do anything wrong . I only feel that your talent is wasted by merely being a nurse here at South Side . Even if you succeed and choose to leave the hospital, that's still fine by me . I still want to hone and train you . "
"Director Wu, thank you for the opportunity, but… I don't want to go to England . I think that my current occupation is great . It's fulfilling, engaging, and meaningful . I believe that in life, one's fame or riches don't equate success . As long as I set goals and do my job, life is meaningful . For example, ordinary sanitation workers clean the streets day after day, but it's because of them that our city is clean . We can't say that they're wasted doing that, we can only say that people have their own goals in life . As for me, I want a quiet and peaceful life, one that I can spend with my family . I want to work at a job I enjoy and retire when the time comes . I don't have big dreams, and I can be happy living a plain life . "
"I finally see why Dr . Qin treats you so well… Anyways, you're an excellent girl, I believe that you'll always be happy like you are now . "
Director Wu's words were not direct, but someone as smart as him had guessed Huo Mian and Qin Chu's relationship already .
"Thank you for your blessing . "
After saying farewell to Director Wu and leaving the conference room, Huo Mian's mood was quite joyous . She sincerely hoped that South Side could change for the better .
It could be a green recuperation center, not a yellow and tainted one . . .
If she remembered right, this was the third time Director Wu talked about sending her abroad to study .
To others, the opportunity may have been once in a lifetime, but she rejected it so nonchalantly .
In fact, to Huo Mian, the biggest happiness came from being alongside Qin Chu . She already had no other ambitions .
When she got home from work, Qin Chu had just gotten back as well and was making dinner .
Huo Mian walked in and embraced Qin Chu's waist from the back in a teasing manner .
"Mr . Qin, thanks for your hard work . "
"Are you hungry?" Qin Chu turned around . He tilted Huo Mian's face up gently and asked .
