Chapter 234: Thank you for your hard work, Professor Jiang
The lobby of Renxin Hospital is like a bustling market, with a constant flow of people. Medical staff in white coats are hurrying along, holding medical records and discussing patients' conditions with serious expressions, or pushing medical equipment and moving quickly and carefully among the crowd.
As for the patients' families, some were queuing at the registration office with anxious faces, while others were standing in the waiting area with tired faces, their eyes full of worry for their loved ones.
These various people interweave and collide in the hospital, forming a unique and busy landscape, as if this is a never-ending stage and everyone is performing his or her own story.
The VIP ward is warmly and comfortably decorated, forming a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle outside.
The respected 70-year-old man has been transferred out of the intensive care unit and is in a stable condition and is receiving further treatment in the VIP ward.
In the ward, various medical instruments made rhythmic ticking sounds, as if they were playing a melody of protection for the old man's life.
President Bai looked pious and filial. He sat quietly beside the bed, looking at the old man without blinking.
The old man had all kinds of instruments and tubes inserted into his body, and his thin body looked even more frail under the white quilt.
President Bai asked softly with concern, "Dad, you finally woke up. You scared Mr. Yang. It's okay to win or lose in a game of chess. It's just to kill time. Why are you so anxious?"
The old man moved his lips slightly like a child, his voice was a little weak but with a bit of stubbornness: "Old Yang's car didn't come out, but he insisted that he came out a long time ago and insisted on killing my horse. Don't you think he is infuriating?"
Seeing this, President Bai hurriedly comforted him, "Okay, okay, Dad, let's not talk about this now! Just focus on recuperating and don't get anxious, okay?"
At this moment, Bai Jinrong, with her naughty smile, hopped towards the old man like a happy little bird, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Grandpa, I brought you another big prize. Are you happy?"
The old man's eyes, which were originally somewhat dim, seemed to be lit up the moment he saw Bai Jinrong, and he smiled: "Really? I knew that my little girl is the best! Hehe"
Bai Jinrong blinked her big eyes and said proudly: "Grandpa, get well soon, I will play a few games with you; we can fight him for three hundred rounds and kill him until he is exhausted, day and night." Bai Jinrong gestured as she spoke, like Mu Guiying on the battlefield.
The old man was amused by her and laughed: "Okay, okay, hehe, little girl is the best at stealing my troops and bullying me because I am old and blurry."
Bai Jinrong pulled the old man's hand and shook it like a spoiled child: "Grandpa is not old or blind at all. You saw me stealing your soldiers, didn't you? Grandpa just loves Ronger and gives in to Ronger. Haha."
For a moment, the ward was filled with the laughter of the grandparents and grandchildren. That cozy scene was like a ray of warm sunshine that shone into everyone's heart, making others envious.
At this moment, the door of the ward was gently pushed open from the outside, and Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji walked in holding flowers and fruit baskets.
Mu Xiaoji smiled faintly and said, "It's so lively. Is the old man awake?"
President Bai smiled and nodded, "Yes, he is awake! Thanks to the two of you for your amazing healing skills, my old father is safe and sound."
When Bai Jinrong saw Jiang Chengyu coming in with a fruit basket and flowers, a cunning look flashed in her eyes, and she slowly approached Jiang Chengyu with a playful expression.
He stretched out his hand to catch the flowers, looking like a little fox ready to tease its prey.
Jiang Chengyu still remembered Bai Jinrong's bold move the first time, so this time when he saw Bai Jinrong approaching, he immediately became alert.
When Bai Jinrong was about to tease Jiang Chengyu again, Jiang Chengyu calmly handed her the flowers and fruit basket, with a slight smile on his face, as if to say, "I won't be fooled by you again."
Bai Jinrong had a look of unyielding determination, her eyebrows slightly raised, a stubborn light flashing in her eyes. She took the flowers and fruit basket, "Thank you...", put on a fake smile, and turned around to put them on the bedside table.
She was eager to try and was ready to "challenge" Jiang Chengyu again.
But just as she was about to make a move, Mu Xiaoji took a step forward, stood sideways, and blocked the two of them.
Mu Xiaoji said with a polite smile: "Hey? Miss Bai, we meet again."
Bai Jinrong paused slightly, then returned to her quirky look and chuckled, "Yes, President Mu, this world is so small." As she spoke, she let out a laugh like a silver bell, but her eyes would occasionally glance towards Jiang Chengyu, as if she was thinking about a new "battle plan."
Mu Xiaoji was like a hunter with keen intuition and naturally noticed Bai Jinrong's eyes which were somewhat cunning and provocative.
He calmly cast his gaze towards Jiang Chengyu, his eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, with a hint of deep meaning and full of jealousy: "Are you watching? If you dare to get close to her again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you when I get home."
Jiang Chengyu received Mu Xiaoji's gaze and frowned slightly, with a few shallow lines between his eyebrows. There was a hint of helplessness and innocence in his eyes, as if he was silently explaining to Mu Xiaoji: "It's not my problem, please forgive me!"
At this moment, President Bai shifted his gaze away from his daughter. He didn't want his precious daughter to be too presumptuous in front of the distinguished guests.
So, he greeted them enthusiastically, "Oh, President Jiang and President Mu took the time to come visit my old father. I really don't know how to thank them!"
Mu Xiaoji had a generous and decent smile on his face, which was like the warm sunshine in spring, and said: "President Bai is too polite. You can choose to receive medical treatment in my territory;
This is a recognition of us, and it is the greatest care for me. I, Mu Xiaoji, will do my best to live up to your trust and do my best to satisfy every patient. "
Bai Jinrong's eyes turned, as if she had thought of some interesting ideas. She deliberately walked towards Mu Xiaoji with light steps, and said with a sweet smile on her face:
"Thank you, President Mu. The environment here is as comfortable as a five-star hotel. The service is first-class, and the medical staff are very considerate.
I will personally send you a banner with the words "Miraculous Healing" someday to express our Bai family's deep gratitude."
Mu Xiaoji nodded slightly, his eyes full of sincerity: "Thank you Miss Bai for your support and kindness, this is what we should do."
As he spoke, Mu Xiaoji gently walked around Bai Jinrong and approached the old man with a concerned look; he bent his body so that his eyes could communicate closely with the old man.
Mu Xiaoji asked with a concerned smile: "Grandpa, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
The old man moved slightly and responded in a weak but gentle voice: "Very good, thank you young man, I feel much better now, thank you for your concern."
Mu Xiaoji held the old man's hand and said, "If you need anything else, just tell us. We will definitely satisfy you."
Bai Jinrong seized the opportunity and while everyone's attention was on the old man, she moved around Mu Xiaoji like a nimble kitten and moved closer to Jiang Chengyu.
She tilted her head slightly, lowered her voice, and said with a hint of coquettishness: "Boss Jiang, are you so afraid of me?"
Jiang Chengyu looked down at her seriously, with a warning in his eyes, and said softly: "Miss Bai, this is a ward, please keep quiet."
Bai Jinrong raised her head proudly and disapproved, curling her lips slightly and muttering softly: "Humph, coward."
Suddenly, there was another knock on the ward door. The crisp knock was particularly abrupt in the quiet ward.
A nurse gently opened the door, walked in with a medical tray and said, "Mr. Bai, it's time to disinfect and change the dressings on the wound and the catheter."
President Bai quickly stood up and walked towards the nurse, saying, "Okay, Miss Nurse, thank you for your help."
The originally relaxed and warm atmosphere in the ward became temporarily busy, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengyu demonstrated his qualities as a professional doctor and his warm and gentlemanly demeanor.
Without hesitation, he walked quickly towards the nurse, his eyes focused and confident, and said, "Come on, let me handle it!"
The nurses were used to it because Jiang Chengyu had always been such a gentleman in the hospital. Whenever he was around, the medical staff would be taken care of by him.
So the young nurse was very obedient and handed the disinfection and dressing equipment to Jiang Chengyu.
Bai Jinrong quietly watched Jiang Chengyu's busy figure from the side, and a different emotion flashed in her eyes, which included admiration and appreciation.
It was as if Jiang Chengyu had become the only focus in her eyes at this moment. Everything around him gradually became blurred, and only the look of Jiang Chengyu working seriously was deeply imprinted in her heart.
Jiang Chengyu took the disinfection equipment from the nurse and treated the old man's wound and catheter skillfully and gently.
His focused expression and serious look seemed to radiate light in Bai Jinrong's eyes. Bai Jinrong just watched quietly, and her liking for Jiang Chengyu increased a little more.
President Bai watched Jiang Chengyu's operation from the side, his face full of satisfaction, and said to Mu Xiaoji: "President Jiang is really young and promising. Having such a person is a blessing for patients."
Mu Xiaoji smiled and nodded: "He has always been very dedicated to medicine and treats patients with great care."
After taking care of everything, Jiang Chengyu stood up and reminded the old man of some precautions.
"Chen Qian, don't worry about the trouble. The old man's health is not as good as that of a young man. Come over every two hours to disinfect the wound and change the dressing on the catheter. The catheter is a little inflamed and can't be infected."
Chen Qian responded: "Yes, Professor Jiang; just leave it to me!" After that, she took the medical tray and left the ward.
Bai Jinrong walked forward and said jokingly with a rare well-behaved look, "Professor Jiang, you have worked hard."
Jiang Chengyu was somewhat disdainful of her teasing, but still responded politely: "This is what I should do."
Jiang Chengyu looked at Mu Xiaoji unnaturally, only to see that Mu Xiaoji looked calm, which made him even more unsure.
President Bai is also an experienced person, and he has seen all the little actions of the young people in the ward, especially his own little girl, whose mother died of illness since she was born.
He is the one who raised her as both a father and a mother. How could a father not know what his daughter is thinking?
