Chapter 2023: Chapter 2025: Jiang Nuan vs Fu Yi 26

Fu Yi left decisively and briskly. Old Madam Fu came back worried, sighed, and said, "That rascal always tells me nothing’s wrong, nothing’s wrong, but with such a big earthquake, how could there be no danger? He’s always at the forefront, what if something happens... Nuannuan, do you think he’ll be okay?"

Seeing her full of worry, Jiang Nuan grabbed her hand, nodded, and said firmly, "He’ll definitely be okay, don’t worry, Grandma."

"Hmm."

For three days in a row, Jiang Nuan kept an eye on the situation in Hechuan County. The news and online sources all said the earthquake in Hechuan County was severe, many houses had collapsed, and many people were buried in the collapsed walls. The hospital in the county town wasn’t in much better shape, with only two buildings left standing and at risk of being affected by aftershocks at any time.

After the leaders arrived, they immediately mobilized the police and fire departments from the neighboring city to set up a temporary disaster relief shelter on a flat piece of land, where the first batch of disaster victims was accommodated...

She saw the shadow of that man on the news. When the camera swept over him, he was standing amid the broken eaves and walls, commanding the on-site excavation and rescue. His handsome face remained as steadfast as ever, rarely without his glasses, the pair of sharp phoenix eyes usually hidden behind the glasses narrowed into a sharp intensity.

It was raining locally, but he didn’t use an umbrella. The hair on his forehead was soaked and clung to the sides of his forehead in strands, droplets of muddy water splattering on his light-colored turtleneck sweater, and he didn’t even blink.

Jiang Nuan had liked him for twelve years and had been married to him, living together for two years, so she knew better than anyone about his obsession with cleanliness.

In the past, someone of Director Fu’s stature would never have allowed himself to wear clothes with dirty stains.

Today, she had completed all her work at the provincial hospital and, after finishing the handover with the hospital, Jiang Nuan packed her things and prepared to go back.

Before leaving, she thought for a moment and decided to go to Zhang Ke’s office to say goodbye.

Just as she reached the office door, she heard the sound of arguing inside.

"Director Zhang, why won’t you let me go?"

"You have four surgeries scheduled for the day after tomorrow."

"Let someone else do them, it’s not like they have to be done by me."

"Others haven’t kept up with the patients, how would they know the situation of the patients you’re handling? Switching people temporarily will increase surgical risks. We are doctors and have to be responsible for our patients!"

"Director Zhang, I’m the only one willing to go to Hechuan County, if I don’t go, who from our department will?"

"That’s still not acceptable! There’s no room for negotiation on this!"

Jiang Nuan heard Xu Qingrong’s angry voice say, "Fine, if you don’t let me go, you find someone to go to Hechuan County now, I won’t make a fuss. If you can’t find anyone, I still want to go! Even if you disagree, I’m going! Are the safety of four patients more important than the lives of millions in Hechuan County?"

Zhang Ke, exasperated, angrily yelled, "Those four patients also have their own families, they’re fathers, sons, wives, mothers, and parents. Lives are at stake, it’s not some math problem where 100 > 4!"

"Director..."

At this moment, Jiang Nuan pushed the door open and entered.

"Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt."

After she came in, Zhang Ke’s angry expression softened a bit, forced a smile, and said, "Nuannuan, what brings you here?"

Xu Qingrong’s face didn’t look good from the moment she saw Jiang Nuan coming in, scowling and pretending not to see her.

Not wanting to make things awkward for herself, Jiang Nuan also pretended not to see her, didn’t greet her and walked straight in, saying respectfully, "I’ve completed the handover work with the branch leaders, so I came over to see you."
