Regarding Li Zehui's situation, Yang Ping discussed it with Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang. Song Zimo agreed with Yang Ping's opinion and very much supported Li Zehui coming to Sanbo Hospital. He believed that Li Zehui's arrival was a good gesture, regardless of how long he stayed, without demanding a specific time.

Xu Zhiliang, being not very articulate, did not express any opinion, just quietly listened. If it really needed his input, Song Zimo found that chatting with Xu Zhiliang on WeChat was smoother than speaking directly.

Zhang Lin was in the doctor's office. He saw Li Zehui enter the director's office to have a private conversation with the Professor, knowing there must be some important news, so he paid special attention and wondered what the significant news could be.

When Li Zehui came out, Zhang Lin saw him shaking Professor Yang's hand and heard him say, "Professor Yang, I will handle the matters in the United States as soon as possible. I have a plane to catch, so I won't have dinner here, but we will have plenty of time to chat in the future."

"Alright, let me see you off," Yang Ping followed him out.

"You're busy, I'll go to the airport myself," Li Zehui said.

Song Zimo was leading the way in front: "I'll see you off."

"No need to be so formal." Li Zehui gestured for Song Zimo to stop, but Song Zimo insisted on seeing him off.

Zhang Lin pricked up his ears to listen to their conversation, using the limited information he had to make various speculations. The most he confirmed was: Li Zehui coming to Sanbo Hospital? Establish the Cardiac Surgery Department. Then he organized the information he had on Li Zehui, capturing some clues, and finally found many details supporting his judgment.

The news that Li Zehui planned to come to Sanbo Hospital quickly spread across the department.

Hearing that Li Zehui was coming to Sanbo Hospital, Xia Shu was a little unhappy. If Li Zehui didn't come, Xia Shu would surely become the director of the Cardiac Surgery Department in the future. Although it wouldn't happen quickly, with Li Zehui's arrival, he could only be the deputy director. After work, he shared this thought with Cai Qiaojun.

Cai Qiaojun smiled and said, "Your vision should be broader. Your future target is not just a department director but a world-class cardiac surgery expert. You should be happy about Li Zehui's arrival because he can help you set off earlier. Why are you still unhappy?"

"I'm a woman; maybe I don't see things as far as you do. But think about whether what I said makes sense."

"The biggest fish in a pond is just that big, but even a small fish in the ocean can be beyond what a pond fish can reach. Sanbo Hospital is an ocean, not a pond. So you shouldn't have a pond mentality but an ocean mentality. In this ocean, everyone competes with each other, and that's how you will eventually grow into a big fish."

After hearing this, Xia Shu felt quite ashamed. His vision was actually smaller than Cai Qiaojun's. She was right; his vision was indeed small. He shouldn't be discontented with Li Zehui's arrival, but happy and proactively assist him in establishing the Cardiac Surgery Department and growing it strong. This is the right kind of vision.

"Thank you. If you hadn't awakened me, I wouldn't have been able to break out of my narrow mindset," Xia Shu said.

Cai Qiaojun kissed him on the cheek: "It's not that you're narrow-minded. It's human nature. Actually, you were just expressing a bit of grievance casually. Even if I didn't say it, you would soon change your mind yourself, just like when a person gets angry; it's temporary, and they soon come to their senses. It wasn't me who woke you up; it's because you have a great vision and a broad mind. If you didn't possess such a vision yourself, it wouldn't matter what I said. I merely spoke your thoughts in advance."

Xia Shu felt much more at ease hearing this. He thought Cai Qiaojun was extraordinary, smart, sensible, and had a vision.

Cai Qiaojun and Xia Shu discussed marriage; her parents demanded a dowry of six hundred thousand yuan, saying it's not easy raising a university student and they needed six hundred thousand yuan to buy a house for her brother.

Cai Qiaojun refused on the spot: "I didn't cost you much for my college and graduate studies. I completed it all through student loans. Now my marriage is my own matter. After we get married, we will shoulder the responsibility to provide for you without any reduction, but if you ask for a dowry, sorry, none will be given. This is my own business and has nothing to do with you."

"You're defying us?" her father lost his temper.

"So what if I am? Don't threaten me with those words. I'll repeat once again, no dowry will be given. We're here to inform you that we're getting married because you are my parents, and it's a major life event. How could we not tell our parents? We're not here to give you a dowry."

With one sentence, Cai Qiaojun left her parents speechless.

She then turned to Xia Shu and said, "In the future, we can create our own happiness with our own hands, even without a house or car. As long as we work hard, we will have everything. You're a doctor, and I'm the head nurse; we will have everything. I don't want any dowry, house, or car; I only want your true heart in the future."

Faced with such a dominant Cai Qiaojun, her parents dared not mention dowry again. Cai Qiaojun herself said she would handle the wedding arrangements, all according to her own wishes.

Later, Cai Qiaojun used all her savings to pay the down payment and bought an apartment at a discounted price in a property near the hospital. Xia Shu felt ashamed; he had just graduated with his doctorate and had no money at all, needing a woman to pay for the house.

Cai Qiaojun told him, "Since I chose to be with you, why distinguish between you and me? My money is your money. In the future, we will have our own little home. Don't say that a house must be bought by a man. I started working earlier than you, so naturally, I have some savings. That's a normal thing." In fact, this was also Cai Qiaojun's savings accumulated through frugality.
