1831: Chance Encounter

Chance Encounter

Jiang Yao was a well-known figure at the university—even the cafeteria staff would probably recognize her. The news that a freshman had passed all the exams and graduated with outstanding results had spread like wildfire throughout Nanjiang Medical University. If it were not for the Chancellor and Professor Ouyang's help in suppressing the news, the reporters who wanted to interview Jiang Yao would probably have run to Jiang Yao's hometown.1

Therefore, when Jiang Yao appeared at the Shengqi Hospital, everyone was excited and curious. They wondered if Jiang Yao skipped her internship to work at Shengqi Hospital because she was the Divine Doctor's student.

Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi did not pay much attention to the people staring at them. The news that Jiang Yao was married was not a secret at Nanjiang Medical University. Many people had seen Jiang Yao's husband at the university. Therefore, the seniors were not too curious about him.

"Jiang Yao," someone boldly called out to her. "Are we going to work together in the future?"

Jiang Yao's footsteps paused, then she turned to look at the person who had called out to her. They were all young and excellent doctors. Jiang Yao was patient with them.

"No, I'm still studying," Jiang Yao replied.

The hospital director, who was watching from afar, wiped the sweat off his forehead when he saw that scene. He thought that the new doctors were really ambitious. They had dared to ask their boss if she wanted to work with them.

Director Jiang owned Shengqi Hospital; she was the largest shareholder. The other shareholder was basically out of the picture. He only cared about the dividends at the end of the year. Director Jiang had the final say about things in the hospital.

It was a pity that Director Jiang was too low-key and refused to reveal her identity to the public. Some people looked down on her.

When Jiang Yao spoke, she noticed the director waiting for her. She waved at the director to signal him to go back and then called out to the person standing nearby.

"Sister Zheng Yi!" Jiang Yao was happy. "I haven't seen you for more than half a year. What are you doing here?"

Zheng Yi looked toward the source of the sound. When she saw Jiang Yao, she rushed straight toward her. Her smile got wider.

She was wearing makeup. If one did not lean very close and stare at her, it would be difficult to notice something different about her face.

"I'm here to visit a colleague. He's sick." Zheng Yi walked toward Jiang Yao and hugged her. "I didn't expect to see you here. Oh, right! I went to Jindo City to look for Chen Feibai to see how his rehabilitation went. When he heard that I was going to the border, he insisted on going with me. If his mother hadn't stopped him, he would have sneaked his way to Nanjiang City to look for me."

Jiang Yao had not seen Chen Feibai for as long as she had not been to Jindo City. However, the Chen family had not looked for her, so Chen Feibai's rehabilitation must have been relatively smooth.

"Why are you going to the border?"

Jiang Yao was curious about that.

"I'm going to do what I can. The poaching situation at the border is very serious. I've already applied to join the volunteer team. From now on, I will be a member of a team that protects and cherishes wild animals. I used to be an investigator, and I feel that I'll be able to utilize my skills with them." Zheng Yi did not return to the police station after she was discharged from the hospital. She had not minded what had happened, but there were things that she could never do again.
