Chapter 30
Inside the head nurse's office-
When Huo Mian entered the room, she saw Xu Yan, the head nurse, talking on the phone . At the sight of Huo Mian, the head nurse quickly finished her conversation and hung up the phone . She nodded at Huo Mian and said, "Take a seat . "
"Yes, ma'am . "
Xu Yan, the head nurse, was famous in the OB/GYN Department for being a stone-cold workaholic . She had made many interns cry .
Weaker-hearted interns had either quit or transferred to another department .
Huo Mian had interned under Xu Yan for 6 months now . Although the head nurse was intimidating, she was very professional and knowledgeable . Huo Mian preferred these qualities about Xu Yan, and as far as she was concerned, Xu Yan was much better than those greedy co-workers who only cared about money .
"Huo Mian, the hospital director's assistant just called and asked me to pass along the message to you . The surgery for the government official was very successful, and he should wake up in 12 hours . "
"Oh really? That's fantastic!" Huo Mian smiled .
"The director wants to reward the staff involved in this surgery after the official wakes up . Three from our hospital participated in it - the anesthesiologist, you, and another male nurse . The director would like to know what rewards you would like . "
"The patient isn't conscious yet, isn't it a little too early to speak of rewards?" Huo Mian asked, slightly hesitant .
"The director is sure that the official will wake up . Just tell me what you would like, and I will pass it along to the higher-ups," Xu Yan said calmly .
Huo Mian thought for a second and asked, "Ma'am, could I really make a request?"
"Of course, as long as it's not too over the top . "
"I was hoping to get a pay bonus . " Huo Mian made sure she enunciated every word .
"A pay bonus?" The head nurse looked surprised . "I thought you would ask for a permanent position . "
The process of obtaining a permanent position required at least three years . On top of that, interns must go through a rigorous process of testing and grading . It was a long and complicated process .
"A full-time position? Oh, I haven't thought of that . After all, I've only been here for 6 months, so I don't expect to become a full-timer any time soon . A bonus of 1,000 yuan might be more useful right now . "
She truly needed the money . Not only did she max out her credit card, she also owed Lingling 1,000 yuan .
So even if the hospital could only give her 1,000 yuan, that would still help out the situation . At the very least, her younger brother would have enough money to live for the next month .
"Alright, I will pass on your message . But, the decision will ultimately be made by the director . "
"Alright, ma'am, if there is nothing else, I'll get back to work," said Huo Mian as she got up to leave .
"Oh, Huo Mian . "
"Yes, ma'am?" Huo Mian turned around .
"I've heard that the lead surgeon for this operation is an incredible neurosurgeon, and all of his assisting surgeons are domestically-renowned doctors . He . . . is he very young?" asked the head nurse, slightly embarrassed .
The head nurse didn't mean to pry; she was just curious . She heard that the surgeon was from Harvard, but hadn't had the chance to meet him in person yet . She could only ask Huo Mian to quench her interest .
After three seconds of silence, Huo Mian bit down on her lips and replied, "Yes, he's very young . "
For reasons unclear to her, Huo Mian felt proud speaking about Qin Chu .
Despite the director's relentless efforts in inviting him to dinner, Qin Chu rejected the offer after the surgery .
Eating dinner with a dry and uninteresting old man? It was too boring to even think about .
Plus, it wasn't the director who convinced him to perform the operation . If it had only been him, Qin Chu probably wouldn't have accepted it in the first place .
As he walked out of the hospital, Qin Chu took out his phone and called his driver to pick him up . Suddenly, he saw a black Jaguar slowing down and stopping in front of him .
The window rolled down, and the young man sitting inside took off his sunglasses . Surprised, he exclaimed, "Qin Chu?!"
