Chapter 113 - 092 National Male God, Heartthrob_7
This was the very topic that Li Yuan’s team had been discussing recently, and Yun Ya’s unique insights made him view her in a new light once again. She wasn’t just adept at handling surgical instruments—she had real substance. At the very least, Li Yuan believed that she had indeed read his works, fully understood them, and committed them to memory.
By the end of the meal, the food had grown cold, and both were still reluctant to end their conversation. A professor was indeed a professor; learned and eloquent, he provided tremendous inspiration to Yun Ya.
Li Yuan also enjoyed chatting with Yun Ya very much. This young lady had a sharp mind, a unique and quirky perspective on issues, and she often surprised him, giving him moments of enlightened clarity.
"I heard from Professor Bird that you’re planning to develop your career domestically?" Li Yuan asked.
Yun Ya nodded, "Mhm."
Li Yuan frowned slightly, "Why? You have a great career abroad, why come back to Country Hua? Of course, on behalf of our motherland, I welcome the return of talent, but personally speaking, the opportunities abroad are much greater and better."
Yun Ya smiled, "Because this is my home. After drifting abroad for ten years, I want to return to my roots."
Her smile seemed a bit ethereal, and Li Yuan felt he understood her a bit—it was a very traditional mindset of the people of Country Hua.
"Why don’t you come to my hospital? We’re in need of a main surgeon," Li Yuan’s offer was the result of careful consideration.
Yun Ya was stunned. She knew how difficult it was to get into the military general hospital, and she hadn’t expected Li Yuan to offer an olive branch so readily. It was like a pie falling from the sky. Anyone else would have been overjoyed beyond words.
From his tone, the position was at least that of a deputy chief; although she was young, her qualifications and academic credentials spoke for themselves.
Yun Ya spoke with a hint of regret, "It looks like I have to decline your generous offer, as I’ve already accepted an invitation from another hospital."
"Which hospital?" Who dares compete with him for talent?
"Jiangzhou First People’s Hospital," Yun Ya said indifferently.
Jiangzhou was considered a first-tier city in Country Hua, having undergone rapid development in recent years, with its GDP consistently ranking in the top three nationwide. Located in the south and near the sea, it enjoyed a spring-like climate year-round, making it an ideal tourist destination. The tourism industry boosted the local economy, making it a notable place indeed.
Still, as good as Jiangzhou was, compared to the Capital City, it was lacking, not to mention the difference between the two hospitals. Anyone dreaming of becoming a doctor would know which option was the best for them.
"Won’t you reconsider?" Li Yuan did not want to let this talented individual slip away and hoped to change her mind.
Yun Ya’s bright eyes met Li Yuan’s as she sat across from him, "I truly appreciate the professor’s kindness, but Jiangzhou is my hometown. I want to be closer to home, so..."
Seeing this, Li Yuan sighed, "Alright then, I won’t force you. You’ve been away from home for so many years; it’s time to visit more often. The deputy dean of The First People’s Hospital is my junior brother. One day when I go to Jiangzhou, let’s have a meal together."
That was an implicit way of opening doors for her. With Li Yuan’s words, she would avoid many troubles at the hospital.
Yun Ya smiled, "Thank you, Professor Li."
——
Professor Li invited her to his home, but Yun Ya politely declined.
Stepping out of the restaurant, the April breeze still held a chill. Yun Ya wrapped her coat tighter around herself, preparing to hail a taxi home.
Just then, a black sedan slowly pulled up, and from the lowering window, Qin Du’s handsome and gentle profile appeared.
His hands rested on the steering wheel, and he turned his head to smile at Yun Ya, "Get in."
Behind them, cars whooshed past and brilliant neon lights flickered. His tender features seemed even more captivating.
Yun Ya opened the passenger door and climbed in. The car’s heater was on, instantly dispelling the cold.
Qin Du suddenly leaned in, startling Yun Ya. She gazed at his magnified handsome face, seeming somewhat at a loss.
Qin Du smiled, pulling out the seat belt from behind her, "You need to buckle up when you get into a car."
After fastening it, he glanced up at Yun Ya and couldn’t help but tease, "What did you think I was going to do?"
Yun Ya pursed her lips and looked out the window, as the car started to move away from where they had been.
"Brother Ah Du, where did you get the car?"
As he drove, Qin Du replied, "Just bought it."
Yun Ya turned to look at him, "Brother Ah Du..."
Qin Du raised his eyebrows, "What, you think buying a car has left me broke? I’ve made quite a bit of money from stocks these past years. Buying you a Rolls-Royce would be no problem at all."
