Chapter 145: News spread quickly

“Grandparents, listen to me, I’m just an intern—”
”Whether you’re an intern or not, we don’t understand that, but you need a mobile phone to save lives, don’t you?”

Sometimes, doctors really do need mobile phones. The development of the communication and information industry has, in a way, contributed to the further advancement of medicine, enabling the faster breaking down of information barriers, timely communication of medical information, and indeed saving lives.

Zhenzhen’s grandparents, being ordinary folk, spoke plainly. Who cares about the specifics? If a doctor needs something to save lives, just give it to them.

“Take it. We’ve consulted with your medical college and your instructor, and they’ve agreed,” said the secretary as she firmly stuffed the phone case into Xie Wanying’s hands.

“This isn’t right—” Xie Wanying tried to give it back.

The secretary turned and ran, fearing she would try to return it again, and as she fled, she said, “President Qi is very grateful to you, Dr. Xie.”

...

Xie Wanying looked at her senior with wide eyes: What should I do?

What could Huang Zhilei do when the medical college said the student could keep it? The little junior sister wasn’t an employee in his department yet and wasn’t under the department’s control but the college’s. Even though, deep down, he didn’t want the little junior sister to accept it—why should someone else give her a phone when he, as her senior, could do so?

Jiuchengjiu Medical College couldn’t refuse the decision of Guoneng Group, which sponsored the college with a lot of money every year. It was a sponsor. Moreover, when a student did a good deed and was rewarded for it, the college was more than happy.

Huang Zhilei was inwardly troubled and said to his little junior sister, “Just hold onto it for now.”

If her senior said to keep it, Xie Wanying reluctantly accepted it for now and decided to go back and talk to the instructor later.

The news spread quickly throughout Guoxie.

Guoneng Group rewarding a medical student with a mobile phone directly was unheard of by most, and it seemed worthy of a front-page story in the school newspaper.

At five o’clock in the evening, Cao Yong, who was about to head out on an errand, abruptly turned back and rushed to find his junior: “Did you know she didn’t have a phone?”

What a question, thought Huang Zhilei, feeling wronged. The fact that the little junior sister didn’t have a phone seemed like something Senior Cao should also know. It was just that nobody had taken it to heart.

It should be said that, like Xie Wanying, quite a few medical students couldn’t afford mobile phones due to family circumstances; this was not unusual or surprising. But Guoneng Group’s act of giving Xie Wanying a phone made everyone suddenly realize that there was something amiss.

Cao Yong was so anxious he fidgeted with his collar, wondering: Why hadn’t he noticed this sooner? If he had realized earlier, he could have been the one to give the little junior sister her first phone, not some Guoneng Group.

Doctor Wang, passing by, glanced at the two of them and said, “If you guys had said something sooner, I could have made a report to Director Lv. Director Lv would definitely have been willing to discuss with Director Chen about using the department’s award money to reward her with a phone.”

Cao Yong and Huang Zhilei collectively gave the man a look: Scram~

Making a phone call back to the school to ask an old classmate what was going on, Cao Yong picked up his mobile and dialed Ren Chongda.

In the teacher’s office, Ren Chongda was being teased by a group of teachers. They knew he had hidden the two banners of appreciation given to Xie Wanying by a patient in his office for over three years to encourage the student to remain humble and diligent in her studies.

“Teacher Ren, what will you do now? Someone just gave your student a phone, making your banners unnecessary,” someone joked.

“Are you regretting it? You should’ve known better than to hide it. After more than three years, those banners are useless now, aren’t they?” another teased.

“You can’t say that about Teacher Ren. He had good intentions, and finally, after more than three years, his student got a phone,” another added.
