According to his understanding, the rich kids usually apply for majors in financial management, so after graduation, they can directly work in their family's business and prepare to take over.
The car fell into silence again.
The taxi driver was left speechless; is this how young people chat nowadays?
It's so boring.
So, he pressed the gas pedal more eagerly.
In less than half an hour, the car stopped at the gate of Zhen Garden.
"Driver, please don't leave, I'll be heading back in a while."
"Alright."
The taxi driver couldn't be happier, saving time on finding return fares.
Moreover, operating across districts like this, if seen by colleagues, would definitely result in complaints.
Since Lu Xuan was coming back, the driver was more than happy.
Earning money twice without worrying about complaints later,
"I'll watch you go home, text me when you arrive."
"Okay."
Su Kenan nodded lightly, seemingly a bit embarrassed, but under Lu Xuan's gaze, she turned and walked into the complex.
Returning home, as soon as Su Kenan opened the door, she heard Cheng Gaohua's irritable voice from the living room: "Remarry? Su Baoqing, don't even think about it. Back then, we agreed to venture out together, and you abandoned your wife and daughter to run off to some godforsaken place to become an official. Now you regret it; what's the use of that? I'm enjoying my single life, might just find myself a young toy boy, just to spite you."
"I don't dare? Just you watch and see if I dare or not."
"Kenan? Do you even care about your daughter anymore?"
"You're busy, busier than anyone else. Kenan's job was arranged by her aunt. If we waited for you, the food would have gone cold. We're just commoners; how would we dare call a big shot like you at the provincial health commission?"
In the capital of Zhijiang Province, Lingshui.
Listening to his ex-wife Cheng Gaohua's angry voice, Su Baoqing felt helpless; it's been so many years, and her temper hadn't changed a bit, still so irritable. If it weren't for Cheng Gaowen's fiery temperament back then, they wouldn't have ended up on the path of divorce.
Even so, neither of them had found another partner all these years.
It's mostly because they still think of each other. Su Baoqing knows this; given her temperament, and when he took the post in a remote area when Su Kenan was less than a year old, Cheng Gaohua raised her alone all these years. He feels guilty and chose to tolerate his wife's anger without confronting her head-on.
That woman doesn't respond well to force, only to gentleness.
The harder you push, the more rebellious she becomes. By then, not only won't remarrying be an option, she might even refuse to answer his calls, or even sell the house and move far away.
In recent years, Cheng Gaohua had made a lot from her business, and she could move any time she wanted.
Su Baoqing dared not show his edge and only spoke softly after her temper had cooled a bit, "Gaohua, these years have been my fault. You have every right to hate me, but can't we not involve Kenan because of our issues?"
"I've heard that Kenan got into the graduate program at Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She needs to find a hospital for her internship this summer. I've already spoken to the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Kenan can go directly there for her internship. I'm familiar with Elder Jiang at the Provincial Hospital. By following him, Kenan can learn a lot."
When it came to the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, for once, there was no rage from Cheng Gaohua; instead, there was a bit of interest.
Though her temperament is fiery, she's not unreasonable. Moreover, her temper is only directed at Su Baoqing. Towards others, she's always gentle and rarely loses her temper.
Although the money she's earned is enough for her daughter to spend in a lifetime, even several lifetimes, it's true that Su Kenan has a passion for traditional Chinese medicine. She also hopes her daughter can intern at the Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine.
Thinking of this, Cheng Gaohua hesitated, "But Gaowen has already arranged for Kenan to be at her Health Center. I heard her say that there's a very competent doctor at the Health Center, and Kenan can learn a lot by following him."
"At the Health Center on Qiu City Street?"
Su Baoqing scoffed, "What competent doctors could be at a Health Center? Most capable ones have already been snatched up by major hospitals.
Moreover, I already told Gaowen to get employed by the First Hospital, but she just wouldn't go.
And now, she's bringing Kenan to the Health Center. What future does staying at a Health Center hold?"
Cheng Gaohua sneered, "If Gaowen hears you say this, do you think she wouldn't rush to Lingshui to confront you?"
Su Baoqing shrank his neck but braced himself, saying, "I'm just speaking the truth! How many people working at a Health Center actually make it out?
Water flows from high to low, this is the principle, why can't she understand it?
Gaowen is capable, and even if she goes to the First Hospital, no one would dare gossip about her getting in because of me, don't you agree?"
"That makes sense, but let her decide her own matters; don't interfere."
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you." Su Baoqing nodded repeatedly.
"Why didn't you listen to me twenty years ago?" Cheng Gaohua retorted sharply, leaving Su Baoqing speechless. Is this hurdle insurmountable?
He pretended not to hear these words and changed the subject, "What about the matter of Kenan's internship?"
Cheng Gaohua thought for a moment, "Let me ask her first, let her decide."
Su Baoqing hesitated, "That's fine, but you must explain the pros and cons clearly. Interning at the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is definitely much better than at a Health Center. With this internship experience, after graduation, she can directly go to the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, or get a position in the Yong City's health system, closer to home."
"I'll ask her then."
"Alright."
While they were talking, Cheng Gaohua suddenly heard the door open and turned to see that it was Su Kenan who had returned. She said with a smile, "You're back, have you eaten?"
"Yes, I have."
"As long as you've eaten, go take a bath first."
On the other end, hearing this, Su Baoqing was instantly excited, "Is Kenan back?"
"Let me talk to her, just to speak about going to the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Initially, Cheng Gaohua didn't intend to let the father and daughter speak directly, but hearing the latter part of what Su Baoqing said, she softened and agreed.
"Kenan, Su Baoqing wants to talk to you."
Su Baoqing: "..."
Can't you just say your dad?
However, he no longer cared about such details. After more than twenty years, it was the first time to talk to his daughter on the phone. It was impossible not to be excited. He had wanted several times to visit Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to see Su Kenan but was deterred by threats from Cheng Gaohua.
Finally being able to speak to his daughter, one could imagine how he felt.
Su Baoqing?
This name was simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar to Su Kenan.
She hesitated at the door for a long time before finally nodding and accepting the phone that Cheng Gaohua handed over.
But she didn't say anything.
Su Baoqing knew that on the other end of the line was the daughter he longed for day and night. Although she hadn't said a word, he didn't mind.
Over twenty years without a single meeting, not a single word spoken. It was understandable not to know how to face him.
Since his daughter didn't speak, he decided to take the initiative.
"Kenan, I heard you're looking for a hospital internship this summer. I've already spoken to the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. How about interning under Elder Jiang there? His expertise in traditional Chinese medicine ranks among the top five in the province, and he is also nationally acclaimed. Under his guidance, you can learn a great deal."
Su Baoqing tried to keep the conversation about the internship and not delve into emotional matters.
"Your mom didn't tell me about the internship earlier and arranged for you to go to a Health Center. What can you learn at a Health Center? No matter how skilled a doctor might be, how skilled could they truly be?"
Su Kenan listened quietly, but when she heard this, she stubbornly said, "Dr. Lu is very skilled."
Unmoved, Su Baoqing replied, "I understand why you say that, but after you intern with Elder Jiang for a while, you'll realize the vast difference between a Health Center doctor and Elder Jiang."
Kenan still insisted, "He is more skilled than any doctor I've ever met."
"Kenan, you haven't seen enough of the world, you're being deceived."
"What skilled doctor would be at a Health Center? If they were really skilled, they would've already been recruited by major hospitals."
Su Baoqing earnestly tried to convince her.
However, the next sound wasn't quite right.
The phone beeped...
Was the call disconnected?
Su Baoqing was entirely baffled.
My precious daughter hung up on me?
He could accept it if Cheng Gaohua hung up on him.
But Su Kenan, his precious daughter hanging up on him, was something he couldn't quite accept.
Did I say something wrong?
Filled with questions, Su Baoqing dialed Cheng Gaohua's number again.
