Receiving the key from the personnel department employee, Zhao Heng felt a sense of relief, finally able to move out of the urban village.
After leaving the personnel department, Gao Jun went to a meeting, and Zhao Heng returned to the operating room alone.
The Anesthesia and Perioperative Center was still under construction, so the anesthesia department and the operating room were still together.
As soon as he entered the break room, everyone started speaking all at once.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
"Little Zhao, today is a great day!"
Zhao Heng smiled and nodded in response to everyone.
Indeed, today was a special day; however, the person he wanted to share it with the most was already across the ocean, thousands of miles away.
Just as he sat down at his workstation and placed the key on the table, Xu Man Ni approached, and the first thing she noticed was the key on the desk.
"Is this the apartment assigned by the hospital?"
Xu Man Ni picked up the key and looked at it.
"Yes."
Zhao Heng nodded.
"A Class C?"
Xu Man Ni asked again.
"It's a Class B."
Zhao Heng replied.
"Class B? Looks like old Gao pulled some strings; some new doctors can't even get a Class C, only a shared apartment."
Xu Man Ni said with a bit of surprise.
"You've really upgraded, now you have a proper job and a place. Is there anything else you're missing?"
After pausing for a moment, Xu Man Ni continued.
"What's missing? Hmm, indeed, the new place is a bit bigger, so I probably need to buy some furniture and household items."
Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said.
"That's not what I meant. Of course, you'll also need to get furniture."
Xu Man Ni said in an exasperated tone, as Zhao Heng totally missed her point.
"Last time you helped me move. How about I help you this time?"
Xu Man Ni added.
Watching Zhao Heng grow step by step gave Xu Man Ni a peculiar feeling.
It's kind of like having a daughter growing up, no, having a son growing up? That's not quite right either; it doesn't sound smooth.
"No need, my stuff can be moved in minutes with a car."
Zhao Heng shook his head slightly, not wanting Xu Man Ni to help him move because he didn't want her to see where he used to live.
Just think about it, renting a single room for four hundred yuan in a city like North City; the conditions speak for themselves.
"Well, once you've moved in, I'll help you arrange it and maybe accompany you to buy some furniture."
Xu Man Ni nodded, being open and cheerful, she didn't get caught up in the small details.
"By the way, what about that Yin Jian?"
Zhao Heng suddenly remembered that Yin Jian abruptly resigned two weeks ago after posting an exposé video, and the matter seemed to end just like that.
"He resigned, as you know. Think about it, with fake credentials, how could he still have the nerve to stay at Eastern Hospital? I was going to confront him, but then he got exposed. Some scumbags just get their comeuppance!"
Xu Man Ni pouted and said.
She looked down on Yin Jian from the start, and now even more so.
"Forget about that scumbag, it's better that he's gone."
Xu Man Ni continued, feeling disgusted just thinking about Yin Jian.
"Yes."
Zhao Heng nodded thoughtfully.
Honestly, the exposé video had an unexpectedly powerful impact.
"Have you told Song Chen about your official appointment?"
All of a sudden, Xu Man Ni asked.
When Song Chen was around, they were competitors, but now that Song Chen was thousands of miles away, they communicated more and became close friends.
Being separated by such distance, if there were any past feelings, they would be put to rest.
"Yes, I did."
Zhao Heng nodded, and there was a hint of melancholy in his expression when Song Chen was mentioned.
"Across the Pacific Ocean, do you miss her a bit?"
Xu Man Ni joked half-heartedly.
"The senior sister is pursuing her dreams, best not to disturb her too much."
Zhao Heng shook his head.
Previously, he hoped that Song Chen might have some thoughts about staying, but in reality, his expectations were dashed.
When Song Chen left, she showed no hesitation or intention of staying, making the little excitement Zhao Heng had vanish into thin air.
"That's true. She just went over and must have a lot on her plate."
Xu Man Ni hadn't expected that despite constant confrontation with Song Chen when she was around, they became inseparable best friends after she left. The twists of fate between people are truly remarkable.
Perhaps in Xu Man Ni's heart, she greatly admired Song Chen for bravely pursuing her dreams despite the distance.
"Let's not talk about her anymore."
Zhao Heng seemed reluctant to discuss Song Chen, couldn't quite explain why, he just didn't want to bring her up.
"Okay."
Seeing Zhao Heng like this, Xu Man Ni felt a bit of secret joy.
Song Chen's straightforward departure burst the little budding feelings between her and Zhao Heng.
"By the way, your classmate, Wang Qiang, also resigned yesterday."
Xu Man Ni suddenly remembered something.
"He resigned too?"
Zhao Heng was a bit surprised. He hadn't paid much attention to this classmate. After Wang Qiang had approached him once, they basically had no interaction.
"Yes, he left happily. I heard he went to Pfizer to sell drugs."
Xu Man Ni had reliable information, of course, it was also a piece of news Wang Qiang shared.
"Selling drugs? That's a complex field."
Zhao Heng thought for a moment, frowning.
The pharmaceutical and medical device sales field is very deep, not something everyone can handle.
"Maybe he got connected with someone, anyway, I heard he was quite happy when he left."
Xu Man Ni continued.
"Instead of spending time and energy as an instrument technician here, going to sell drugs might not be bad; who knows what he can achieve."
After a pause, Xu Man Ni said casually.
"Wang Qiang doesn't have the personality for pharmaceutical sales."
Zhao Heng shook his head slightly.
Sales isn't something everyone can do well.
Although it's lucrative, Zhao Heng admitted he couldn't work in a field where his dignity might be compromised.
"Each to their own dreams, maybe he got inspired seeing you succeed, being classmates and all."
Xu Man Ni dismissed it casually.
"I'm not that successful yet, just managing to get by."
Zhao Heng shook his head slightly.
"You've made great progress in such a short time. Besides, this is just the beginning."
Xu Man Ni confidently encouraged Zhao Heng.
