Chapter 359: [359] Being asked by a senior which department I like Chapter 359: [359] Being asked by a senior which department I like Zhu Huicang was the last one to come in, saying, “If it weren’t for the availability of a spot here, we would have crashed the neurosurgery and Ward Five’s private room for dinner.”

A bunch of people were surprised by his remark, “What? Are there others from our hospital coming here to eat tonight?”

This indicated that this place was a frequent spot for Guoxie medical staff to occasionally treat themselves to a better meal.

“Isn’t everyone’s meeting running late today? A bunch of us decided to find a place to eat together,” Zhu Huicang said while adjusting his glasses and walking over. Zhou Junpeng pulled out a chair for him. As Zhu sat down and turned his head, he saw Xie Wanying and blurted out, “Your Senior Cao is sitting diagonally opposite. You could go and pay him a visit.”

Zhu’s sudden comment left her unsure how to respond. She was currently interning in General Surgery Department Two under Teacher Tan, how could she dare to long for another department? Xie Wanying pondered and didn’t know what to say.

“Don’t be embarrassed. They’re serving dishes over there. You should go have a look and see what delicious food they have, then come back and tell us. Help us choose,” Zhu Huicang realized his suggestion might have sounded improper and offered her a perfect excuse.

Others misunderstood Zhu Huicang’s words; Li Wenhao asked, “Does Dr. Xie like neurosurgery?”

Hey, wasn’t she more interested in cardiothoracic surgery? Luo Yanfen was confused.

Regarless, once this was said, every teacher from General Surgery Department Two gazed at her, and Xie Wanying looked up seriously, “I’ve just begun my clinical internship, and I haven’t even completed a rotation in the first department. Which department I’ll end up in isn’t for me to decide.”

The choices of those who graduate are not simply based on where they want to go; first, the department’s leadership has to want you. It’s fair to say she was very self-aware.

Zhou Junpeng, with his chin resting on his hands and his eyes slightly narrowed, purposely asked her again, “The question is which department you like. It’s okay if you don’t know much about some. Just go with your gut and tell us which one you prefer.”

Sun Yubo slapped the table and objected, “How can you say you like a department if you don’t know about it? You just want to pull people into your department, right? Should I drag Huang Zhilei over here to argue with you?”

Teacher Xiao Sun and Senior Zhou suddenly started arguing. Xie Wanying and the others were taken aback while eating.

“What’s up with those two?” Zhu Huicang asked, pointing at the two young men.

“Could Teacher Sun and Senior Zhou be fellow townsmen?” Xie Wanying guessed.

Zhou Junpeng and Sun Yubo were both startled, “Do you know something about it?”

From this reaction, she probably guessed right.

“Why are you two keeping it a secret that you’re from the same hometown?” the crowd at the table started to tease.

Zhou Junpeng and Sun Yubo denied it vehemently, “No, no–”

Zhu Huicang shouted toward the entrance, “Huang Zhilei!”

Huang Zhilei was passing by in the corridor when he heard someone calling him. He turned his head just in time to peek into the private room and see a bunch of his colleagues, with a look of total surprise on his face.

“Aren’t your fellow townsmen here? Aren’t you going to come and say hello?” Zhu Huicang beckoned him with his hand to his mouth.

Upon hearing that he should greet his fellow townsmen, Huang Zhilei ran off as if avoiding the Plague God, or perhaps to sprint back to his own private room to tip off the others.

“Teacher Zhu is really good at throwing banter,” Luo Yanfen whispered to Xie Wanying, fully showing that students also occasionally like to gossip about their teachers.

Xie Wanying hadn’t interacted much with Teacher Zhu before and didn’t quite understand his personality. Thinking back, she realized that Teacher Tan and Teacher Fu were a different kind of teacher.

Compared to Zhu Huicang, who was keen to play around with the younger people, when Fu Xinheng came in, he quietly sat down on a chair, placed the menu on his thigh, and slowly started browsing, quietly.
