Chapter 332 -0316: Little Gao

I’m not certain if it’s true or false that Liang Qichao was able to learn Japanese overnight while on a trip to Japan.

But it is true that Takahashi learned Chinese in four months. As Takahashi exited Nandu airport, even the air felt sweet to him.

On the flight over, he recited the social rules repeatedly reminded by Teacher Tang until he knew them by heart, so he could apply them smoothly in real life.

The person picking him up was still Manager Yangzi, and even the Toyota Alphard car was parked in the same parking space as the last time.

It was unthinkable that after just four months, everyone had met again. Manager Yangzi was very excited. Last time he saw Takahashi, he was talkative. This time, he remained silent.

Before he left, Teacher Fujihara told Takahashi the story of “carving the boat to find the sword,” and Takahashi understood his teacher’s painstaking efforts. He decided to make the most of this trip and not to let his teacher’s high expectations down.

...

“Your talent may be slightly inferior to Sasaki’s, however, you possess a quality that Sasaki lacks — you know how to lose. Those who can lose with grace, can win even more. Therefore, I have higher hopes for you in the future.”

Before he left, these words from Teacher Fujihara seemed to hint that his successor might not be Sasaki, as everyone believed. The chances were high for Takahashi as well.

Takahashi and Fujiwara didn’t go to Yangzi’s hotel, they went straight to Sanbo Hospital’s Medical Education office to report in, hoping to start their studies as soon as possible.

Three months were too short, but it was impossible to spare more time. Takahashi was not an ordinary doctor, he was the head of the Trauma Center at Tokyo University Hospital.

Looking at the twin-tower building of Sanbo Hospital, a sense of reverence was born in Takahashi’s heart. He respectfully bowed to the tower.

Miss Yangzi was ordered to return to the hotel. Takahashi did not wish to offend Professor Yang, thus losing this precious learning opportunity.

After asking around, under security’s guidance, the two Japanese arrived at the Medical Education office.

Director Zhou had been waiting for a long time and immediately stood up to shake hands.

Takahashi bowed: “Thank you for your care!”

The foreign professor naturally had shown some concern. Originally, Director Zhou had everything arranged satisfactorily, such as a hotel suite, personal translator, Japanese cuisine chef, but was scolded terribly by Director Han.

So, Director Zhou hastily canceled all these arrangements, signed some papers randomly, and let Manager Xu lead Takahashi and Fujiwara to the dormitory.

Sanbo Hospital has one building dedicated to dormitories, run like apartments and not expensive. The rent is much cheaper than outside, mainly for doctors, researchers, trainees, interns, and standardized training students who just started working.

Takahashi and Fujiwara were placed in ordinary dormitories. After they settled in, under Manager Xu’s guidance, they received their trainee certificates, white gowns, access cards, etc. Then Manager Xu took Takahashi and Fujihara to the general orthopedics department to report in and handed them over to the academic secretary, Zhang Lin.

“This is Zhang Lin from the general orthopedics department, Dr. Zhang!” Manager Xu introduced.

Zhang Lin was slightly displeased: “Please call me Teacher Zhang!”

“Teacher Zhang, thank you for your support!” Takahashi and Fujiwara bowed simultaneously.

“You may go now. Once they’re in the general orthopedics department, I’ll take care of everything about their training.” Zhang Lin signed the handover list, urging Manager Xu to leave so he wouldn’t get in the way.

Manager Xu, seeing the displeasure on Zhang Lin’s face, obediently left. Takahashi looked around, seemingly searching for Yang Ping.

“Stop looking. Dr. Yang has gone to the orthopedic research institute and won’t be back until later. Takahashi Fumiya, Fujiwara Miyuki?” Zhang Lin asked with an odd tone.

Takahashi and Fujiwara immediately responded: “Yes!”

“First of all, welcome to your internship in Sanbo General Orthopedic department. I’ll skip introducing our academic stature. I need to mention that we have strict requirements for our students because we aim to cultivate truly world-class doctors. You may quit anytime if you can’t keep up.” Zhang Lin stood up and spoke, very much like lecturing an intern.

“Fujiwara Miyuki, you’re assigned to Teacher Wu’s team, and Takahashi Fumiya, you’ll be in my team. Your direct superiors are the leaders of these two teams, understood?” Zhang Lin was very stern.

Takahashi and Fujiwara nodded: “Understood!”

“Good. Little Five, there’s a new intern in your team. Go ahead.” Zhang Lin pointed at Little Five.

Little Five was discussing a case with an intern when he saw Takahashi and Fujiwara enter, and everyone’s attention was attracted to them.

After dividing them into teams, Zhang Lin planned to give Takahashi a formal talk, for some in-depth communication with the intern.

“Dr. Zhang, bed number 3 needs an air mattress, can you please send an intern to help carry the patient?” a nurse called from the doorway.

Zhang Lin sized up Takahashi, his physique was impressive: “You, go with that nurse teacher to carry the patient.”

“Understood!”

Takahashi immediately followed the nurse out. Before coming to China, Teacher Tang had instructed: Act immediately upon hearing orders.

“After you finish, wash your hands as per standards, and then come back!” Zhang Lin instructed Takahashi.

“Understood!” Takahashi responded promptly.

According to Teacher Tang, in China, if you’re asked to do some work, it means the teacher regards you highly and may consider you for specialized training; if you’re not assigned any tasks, it means the teacher is very disappointed in the student and has given up on them.

Being assigned a task right after arriving made Takahashi very happy as it indicated a good start.

Soon, Takahashi returned, with sweat on his forehead.

Zhang Lin was quite satisfied. Fujiwara Miyuki was already doing her afternoon rounds with Little Five.

Being a tall girl can attract some attention. At around 5’10”, she would be rather ordinary if she were a guy, but as a woman, she stood out wherever she went.

The male white gown on Fujiwara Miyuki, with no tailored waistline, still could not hide her perfect body. Those who walk the runway truly are different, her steps even hinting at a runway rhythm. Zhang Lin couldn’t help but take another look.

It’s hard to imagine why such a beauty is working as a doctor instead of being a celebrity. I can’t comprehend the worldview of these people.

“You must come to the hospital before 7 o’clock every day, move all the case records to my desk, neatly stacked, quickly scan the examination results of our patients on the computer, record the abnormal ones and report them to me.”

“No matter what position or title you previously held in the hospital, now you are a visiting doctor here. Your immediate superior is me. Do you understand?”

“I will arrange for someone to familiarize you with the computer HIS system, after checking the ward there will be a written and operation test, only those who pass the test are qualified to observe clinically and enter the operating room —”

“Understood, Teacher Zhang! Please take good care of me!” Takahashi stood at attention and bowed, both hands tightly against the sides of his body.

Good, this visiting student is very obedient. If he weren’t, Zhang Lin would give him a good scolding, teaching him manners before discussing his studies.

“Also, Teacher Zhang likes to drink tea. When you come to the department every morning, you should brew the tea in advance. Don’t put too many tea leaves. That’s my cup with my name on it. Don’t get it wrong. The tea is on the side, you know how to brew tea, right?” Zhang Lin pointed to his cup on the shelf,

“Yes! I am very good at it! And Professor Yang? Should I brew his tea too?” Takahashi was pleased, feeling valued.

Zhang Lin showed a disdainful expression: “It’s not your turn to brew tea for Dr. Yang. Don’t fantasize about unrealistic things. Doctors need to be down-to-earth. Some things come step by step.”

“Understood! I’ll remember.”

“I’ll take you to make some ward rounds, Guodong, you demonstrate for him.” Zhang Lin got up and lead everyone to check the ward.

“We usually do our own rounds. On Tuesday mornings, Dr. Yang has a big ward round. Preparation is needed in advance, as you’ll be asked questions. We have two physician groups, Teacher Wu and I are the leaders. Above us is Dr. Song Zimo, and Dr. Yang is higher still. Make sure to lay clear the hierarchy, don’t overstep your bounds.”

By mistake, Zhang Lin called Lu Xiaowu “Teacher Wu”. It’s almost the same, Zhang Lin is too lazy to correct himself.

Guodong is a standardization student, leading from the front, knocking at the door of the ward three times then pushing it open, Zhang Lin swaggered in, acting as if he were a director making a ward round. He had quite a style.

“When leading the way, keep pace and distance, don’t rush or slow down. As I enter, you need to push the door open, tell the patient in advance, ‘Dr. Zhang is coming to check the ward’, as I leave, you should all follow—”

“Our patients are very special, all are ones that others can’t cure or dare not treat, those with high surgical difficulties and risks, there are hardly any simple ones.”

“You can change dressings, write case records, right? Also, do you have any problems typing on the computer?”

“I can type with Pinyin, but it’s really slow. My language teacher didn’t have time to teach me before I came to China.” This was a problem for Takahashi.

“Takahashi! I’m not criticizing you, but your preparation is a bit lacking,” Zhang Lin stroked his chin.

“Understood, I’m very responsible, I will take up the role. Please rest assured, Teacher Zhang.” Takahashi tried to explain, afraid of any mistakes.

After Zhang Lin finished the ward round, he passed by the nurses’ station with his hands behind his back. Head Nurse Cai saw Zhang Lin’s team and laughed, “Dr. Zhang, new students have arrived.”

“From Japan, Takahashi. He’s just arrived, not familiar with everything yet. Everyone please remind and guide him. Professor Yang asked me to help him along.” Zhang Lin showed off his teacher-like demeanor.

“Please advise me.” Takahashi bowed again.

“Takahashi, do you have WeChat? Register a WeChat, a lot of communication relies on it.” Back in the doctor’s office, Zhang Lin sat down.

“Yes, I have WeChat.” Takahashi immediately took out his phone, a Huawei, specifically asked Yangzi to buy in advance.

“Teacher Zhang, should I scan you?” Takahashi asked cautiously.

Zhang Lin lazily revealed his QR code: “Go ahead and scan!”

Takahashi opened the phone, not very skilled, clicked into the wallet a few times, Zhang Lin saw his WeChat balance had a long string of zeros, actually a hundred thousand! Damn, keeping so much pocket money, do Japanese people like to stash their private stash too?

“Takahashi, where do you live?” Zhang Lin found it easier to call Takahashi by his shorter name, it felt much better.

It feels great to call someone else by a shorter name after being called ‘Little Zhang’ all this time.

Takahashi immediately replied: “I live in a dormitory in the hospital, for visiting students.”

“Hmm.” Zhang Lin took a sip of tea, his cup was empty.

Takahashi reacted quickly, immediately reached out with both hands to take the cup: “Teacher Zhang, let me refill your water.”

Little Five took Fujiwara Miyuki to do a ward round as well, seeing Takahashi obediently following Zhang Lin’s instructions was quite amusing..

At this time, Yang Ping came in.

Zhang Lin immediately stood up: “This is Dr. Yang!”

Finally meeting his idol, Takahashi stood at attention and bowed, even more rigidly than in front of Teacher Fujiwara.

“Dr. Yang!”

Yang Ping nodded slightly.

“These are the visiting doctors from Japan, Takahashi Fumiya and Dr. Fujiwara Miyuki.” Zhang Lin immediately reported.

“Welcome!” Yang Ping shook hands with them.

“Welcome to China, welcome to Sanbo Hospital. If you encounter any difficulties in study or life, report them to Teacher Zhang in time. I hope everyone can spend a happy and fulfilling study period.”

“We are very grateful for the opportunity Dr. Yang has provided. We will cherish this opportunity and will be happy to be fulfilled.”

Takahashi’s Chinese is indeed good. The expensive tuition was not wasted.
