The Imperial Physician in the City - C292 The Philosophy of Survival
“That’s not what I meant. Wherever my contract with the Chinese Medical Hospital is, I won’t be able to come back. I mean, in the future, when I’m dozens of years old, I’ll have to work harder and walk. Other than that, I can’t do anything else.”
Huang Suning thought for a while and said, “Is your current grand wish any different from before?”
“Really? When I first entered the Central District, I was thinking that through my own hard work, I would have to change the environment of doctors and patients, and change the high prices of medicines. Now, it seems so ridiculous, especially after coming back from two meetings where most doctors treat the practice of medicine as a way of earning a living, not as a responsibility. Although I also know that talking about ideals while starving is impractical, this is not a reason to try to get money out of a guilty conscience. However, this was a common occurrence, as long as the staff members were willing to do more, tragedy would occur every day. This was something that could be avoided, as long as every staff member was willing to do more. However, the result was that even though those experts and professors appeared to be superior to the others, they were actually not extremely skilled. Instead, they were just trying to cheat and earn money. If I were the Minister of Health, I would beat them to death, but for people like me, even if I were given a hundred years, I wouldn’t be able to become the Minister of Health. ”
Huang Suning sighed, “This is the status quo. The darkness in the human heart is even darker than the moonless night, and there will be an end to the darkness of the night, but there will be no end to the darkness of conscience. Even if you complete the contract with the Central District and use your influence to open a private hospital, you must have a guest source. You prioritize your duties, so you can do it. Not necessarily, and if you lower the price, if you don’t earn some black sheep money, there will be a lot of people who will look for trouble with you and it will be hard to continue. In short, the darkness of this society makes one feel helpless, yet the power of humans is very weak. To use one’s power to change such a huge and deep-rooted environment is an impossible task. ”
Cao Ziyang did not say anything, because that was indeed the case. It was very sad.
Huang Suning continued: “Actually, it’s fine if you can’t do it, if you can’t change others, if you can’t change the environment, as long as you don’t assimilate with others, then it’s already a victory. Remember the words of the Aunt Su, you must always be yourself, don’t leave a stain on your own life, okay? ”
Cao Ziyang said, “Right now, I just want to work hard and take responsibility for my actions. Others will let me down, but that is their problem. I can’t do the same. This is a philosophy of survival.”
“Yes, or else you would be very tired. The reason why you are tired is partly because you have seen many things that are different from what you imagined, and sometimes it is always the opposite of what you wished for. Helplessness, pain, this is normal.
“Of course not. Never.”
“Well, I believe no one can beat you except you. In fact, you’re actually very strong in your heart, even if you don’t like it, you can just say it out loud. I like this bit of you, I like you, and I feel good about you, I’m pragmatic, to a certain extent, you’re the same as Xiao Jing, it’s not easy, especially not easy for Xiao Jing. ” “Let me tell you a secret. Actually, I know more than anyone else who my sister and brother-in-law are than anyone else, it’s just that I don’t want to argue over it too much, the main reason is because Xiao Jing is the same as me and it is very difficult for Xiao Jing to become like them. It is also very difficult for him to assimilate and maintain the purity in his heart, I hope that she can continue to be so.”
Cao Ziyang was surprised, Huang Suning was doing this for Xiao Jing? It was just her niece. She was really good. Cao Ziyang was thinking, if the Village chief couple was here right now, would he be so ashamed to hear Huang Suning’s words? Most likely not, because it’s hard to change one’s nature, they thought that they were very smart. In fact, as long as they weren’t an idiot, they would be able to see through their schemes and tricks, but they disdained arguing with them. Take Cao Ziyang for example, if he really wanted to argue with them, facing a conspiracy, Cao Ziyang could trick them to death, but Cao Ziyang’s personality was not so dark, facing someone he was close with, even if he suffered a huge loss, he would always think of it, just let the matter rest. Moreover, this was Xiao Jing’s relative.
While they chatted like this, Tian Wen quickly finished cooking and ate together with the four of them. During this time, some neighbors came to visit and also ate a bit of food, and then they chatted and drank tea. Until two in the afternoon, Huang Suning left. Cao Ziyang did not choose to send him off because Huang Suning wanted to visit the village chief’s house first. Cao Ziyang did not want to go, and did not know what to say to Xiao Jing. Especially after hearing what Huang Suning had said, and hoping that Xiao Jing could continue to be pure, Cao Ziyang’s current situation would most likely only dirty Xiao Jing. Therefore, Cao Ziyang’s plan was to communicate with Xiao Jing via text message tonight and see if they could talk about the old place, the fields, and so on.
However, Cao Ziyang’s thoughts did not come true as Huang Suning had just walked for an hour or so when Cao Ziyang received a phone call from Ouyang Qiu. Ouyang Qiu said with a sorrowful tone: “Cao Ziyang, come back quickly.
Cao Ziyang was a little unsteady, and his back was immediately drenched in cold sweat. “What happened? Just tell me clearly, don’t scare me! ”
Ouyang Qiu said: “Let’s talk about it when you’re back. I can’t explain it over the phone.”
Cao Ziyang was anxious. “You have to tell me something, right?”
“I haven’t even made it clear yet. In short, you’re back. Right now, but don’t drive too fast.” With that, Director Ouyang hung up the phone!
Cao Ziyang grabbed the phone in a daze for a few seconds, then called again. Ouyang Qiu did not answer, and the result was the same every few times! According to Cao Ziyang’s understanding of Ouyang Qiu, something huge must have happened, or else Ouyang Qiu would not have done this. She would have said that it was because she was afraid that he would not be able to take it, which would be bad for the car. However, Cao Ziyang could think of all these, although he did not know what had happened, but he was in the same mood.
After thinking for a few seconds, Cao Ziyang rushed into the room to clean up. Tian Wen and Fang Nan followed behind him and asked: What’s wrong? Is something wrong? ”
Cao Ziyang said, “Something has happened to Bai Rou. I will go back now. You stay here. I will come back to fetch you after I settle the matter.”
Tian Wen said: “Can’t we go with you?”
Fang Nan also agreed, “That’s right!”
Cao Ziyang continued to pack up his clothes, “You stay here first, the family needs someone to take care of them, the herbs have not been dried yet, and there is so much food in the family. If we leave now, won’t it stink?” “I can’t wait until I’m done packing, so I can’t leave. Things are rather urgent, but actually, it’s not a very serious matter. Don’t worry, I will call you guys when I’m done, and then we’ll see what we can do.”
Cao Ziyang’s idea was already set, so Tian Wen could only reply with an “oh” and then Fang Nan followed suit.
After packing his things, Cao Ziyang gave some instructions to Tian Wen and Fang Nan before he hurriedly left. The carriage drove out at the fastest speed possible, and only after adding oil to the town did they head towards Nanhu Lake.
It was almost 6 o’clock when Cao Ziyang returned to Nanhu Lake. This was because he was driving at a high speed, so he reckoned that there would be a fine.
Upon arriving at the residential area, he stopped the car, but Cao Ziyang did not immediately get off the car, and instead called Ouyang Qiu. This time, Ouyang Qiu picked up the phone, and because of this time, she knew that Cao Ziyang had already returned.
Cao Ziyang impatiently asked, “Are you guys home?”
Ouyang Qiu said: “Not home, we are at the Oriental Hotel, 8th floor, 806.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? “He doesn’t answer the phone either.”
“Come here!”
Cao Ziyang hung up the phone and hurriedly drove.
Hotel? Why would it be at a hotel? Actually, Cao Ziyang had been thinking about what had happened along the way. It was a mess, some things he did not even dare think about, he hesitated even if he should give Bai Jun a call, but he did not decide. Maybe he should not give it to anyone before he figured out what happened, in case there was an extra person who was worried and could not help him out.
Very quickly, Cao Ziyang drove the car to the Oriental Hotel, parked his car in the parking lot, and rushed inside the hotel to take the elevator to the eighth floor.
Standing at the entrance of Room 806, Cao Ziyang took a deep breath, knocked heavily on the door, and in less than five seconds, the door was opened. Ouyang Qiu could see the interior of the room.
As for Ouyang Qiu, she had a pained expression on her face, causing Cao Ziyang’s mood to drop to the bottom. Her voice was a little hoarse: “What happened? Where’s Bai Rou? ”
Cao Ziyang pointed to a door in the room and said, “It’s in the room.”
“You won’t go in and look at her?”
“She tricked me out.”
“What is going on?”
“I don’t know how to explain it to you.”
“You still don’t know how to tell me this even after you’ve reached this stage? Can you handle it? “No, why didn’t you tell me you wanted me to come back here?” Cao Ziyang was a little incoherent. Bai Rou was his best classmate’s sister, and he brought her to work in the Chinese Medical Hospital. He was responsible for every matter that happened to her, “Don’t dawdle, quickly tell me.”
“She …” Ouyang Qiu was a little stumped, “Last night, they all ate together in the same department. There was a director’s birthday, and many people went to there, and then … I don’t know if there was anything wrong with the wine she was drinking, and I don’t know about the process, but she woke up in the hotel and then she loved someone, and nobody knew who she was, and she was crying all the time, and I asked some of her colleagues from last night, and they asked her why she wasn’t there, and it was because she wasn’t working that I came to find her and found out about it. ”
Cao Ziyang felt a little dizzy. How could this happen? This was a huge blow to a girl, especially a girl like Bai Rou. Otherwise, would she need to come to the Chinese Medical Hospital to work? You can’t do it in the previous hospital? For a person like Ouyang Qiu, it was like having one’s body refreshed after drinking wine, but without any memory, it was truly impossible for Bai Rou to be so magnanimous.
Ouyang Qiu pulled Cao Ziyang into the room and closed the door, the sound finally pulled Cao Ziyang out of his daze. Cao Ziyang started to become angry, wanting to beat him up, but who? Furthermore, looking at Bai Rou’s condition first seemed like the right decision.
Cao Ziyang walked to the door and knocked, “Bai Rou, it’s me. Cao Ziyang, are you alright?”
There was no response.
