Chapter 130 - 095 Emotional Teen The Real Princess
Two days later, Director Su returned from a neighboring province after attending a meeting.
After arranging the place with Director Zhao over the phone, Yun Ya took a taxi straight to the destination, a pretty famous Sichuan cuisine restaurant in Jiangzhou.
When she knocked and entered, she saw a man in his fifties wearing gold-rimmed glasses and exuding a gentle and refined temperament sitting at the main seat. Yun Ya composed herself, thinking that this must be Director Su Zhiyuan.
Sitting beside him was Director Gao, and apart from them, there were no other people in the private room.
Seeing Yun Ya, Director Zhao immediately stood up from his seat and eagerly came over to greet her.
"Dr. Nyx, you’ve finally arrived."
Dr. Nyx? A flash of surprise crossed the depths of Su Zhiyuan’s eyes.
He truly hadn’t expected the real Dr. Nyx to be so young, looking just like a high school student.
Dr. Nyx had a great reputation internationally, with no surgeries ever failing in her hands. Even if a surgery carried only a five percent risk, under her hands, it would turn rotten into magic, meriting nothing but astonishment. It was said that her skills had reached an incredible level. However, she had always been mysterious, and the outside world didn’t even know whether she was male or female. He even suspected that such a person didn’t exist at all, but was simply made up by others.
Never did he expect that she would be such a young girl, and for a moment, Su Zhiyuan was somewhat taken aback.
Director Zhao introduced them, "Dr. Nyx, this is Director Su. Director, this is the Dr. Nyx I’ve mentioned to you."
Seeing Director Su somewhat dazed, Director Zhao quickly reminded him in a whisper, prompting Director Su to suddenly come to his senses with an awkward smile, and he stood up to shake hands with Ji Yunya.
"Dr. Nyx, I’ve long heard of your great reputation."
Ji Yunya smiled faintly, "Director Su flatters me."
Once the three of them had sat down, Director Su looked at the girl sitting across from him. She was beautiful and elegant, with every move radiating a refreshing nobility, like a princess who lived in a castle, not at all like a surgeon battling it out on the operating table.
"Are you really Dr. Nyx?" Director Su asked again uncertainly. In his imagination, Dr. Nyx should have been either a mature and steady middle-aged man or a decisive woman in her forties, certainly not a young girl with the appearance of a high school student.
The extreme contrast made it hard for him to believe.
The girl merely smiled gently, her bright and tender smile reassuring, "Genuine and unfeigned."
Her clear eyes looked at him, conveying sincere expression, "If age alone could negate my efforts, that would be rather unfair, don’t you think, Director Su?"
Director Su was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "I was superficial."
Looking at Yun Ya again, his eyes showed admiration: "Impressive, young and renowned, a medical prodigy. For you to join our hospital, we might not be worthy of your talent."
Yun Ya smiled, "This was my own choice."
Director Su raised an eyebrow, "Oh? If I may be so bold to ask, is Dr. Nyx from Jiangzhou?"
"Yes, this is my hometown where I was born and raised."
Understanding, Director Su smiled, "No wonder your Jiangzhou dialect is so fluent."
"But, may I know Dr. Nyx’s real name...?"
Yun Ya glanced at him and said with a smile, "My last name is Ji."
The surname Ji? That surname is indeed quite rare, though there’s a well-known family with the surname Ji in Jiangzhou but... it couldn’t be that coincidental.
Director Su’s gaze lingered on her face, and as it turned out, he did manage to discern a hint of something. Internally surprised and uncertain, he nonetheless kept a composed expression and lightly laughed, "It’s good to have you back. At the hospital, you’ll continue in your old profession. While the benefits and salary may not match those abroad, rest assured, we will not short-change you."
Director Su glanced at Director Zhao, who immediately stood up and handed an envelope to Yun Ya, "Dr. Nyx, we understand you’ve just returned to the country and probably haven’t prepared anything. Our hospital values talent, and we’ve arranged everything for you—a two-bedroom apartment in Zhongzhou Garden and a Chery QQ car. They’re not worth much, but they represent the sincerity of our hospital. Please accept them, Dr. Nyx."
Without even looking at the envelope, Yun Ya shook her head, "How could I accept this?"
Director Su sipped his tea and said, "Please take them, Dr. Nyx. You must have not prepared anything upon your return to the country, and this way, you can focus on your work."
With things having come to this point, Yun Ya found it difficult to refuse any further and silently nodded.
Just then, another person arrived. This person first glanced at Yun Ya upon entering, then nodded towards Director Su, who laughed and said, "Old Pei, you’re quite late today, you owe three drinks as a penalty."
