Chapter 167 - 099 My Love Torrential Waters_6
Pei Jinghong raised an eyebrow, "I’m more than happy."
Yun Ya followed Pei Jinghong out of the director’s office, and Pei Jinghong glanced at the young girl beside him, "I saw the newspaper this morning. The top socialite, not bad."
Yun Ya smiled, "Thanks for the compliment."
She accepted the praise naturally and without any of the shyness typically associated with women.
"Excuse me for being bold, but how old are you this year..."
Yun Ya raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Doesn’t Vice President Pei know that a lady’s age is a secret?"
Pei Jinghong was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a laugh, "Then I won’t ask."
"Sixteen," Yun Ya stated indifferently.
"I could find out even if you didn’t tell me. To be precise, I’ll be sixteen after July."
Pei Jinghong had considered that she would be young, so he wasn’t too surprised, but he still expressed his disbelief, "With your age and your current achievements, you really are a prodigy."
Having been praised as a prodigy since she was little, Yun Ya was used to it, but she still smiled with a touch of modesty.
Exiting the elevator and leaving the administrative building on the way to the inpatient department, Pei Jinghong introduced her to the history of the hospital and the various departments, while Yun Ya listened patiently.
Yun Ya noticed that almost every passing nurse seemed to be stealing glances at Pei Jinghong, which reminded her of something Director Su had said half-jokingly.
It seemed that Vice President Pei was indeed quite popular among the nurses at the hospital.
Yun Ya’s office was in the innermost room on the right side of the top floor in the inpatient department, a quiet environment seldom visited, with a spacious office, bright and clean windows, and included a bathroom, a desktop computer, a bookshelf, a sofa, and a coffee table.
Yun Ya looked around and nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad."
Pei Jinghong wrote down a string of numbers on a paper and handed it to Yun Ya, "This is my number. Call me if you need anything."
"Come in." Following Pei Jinghong’s invitation, a young girl walked in.
She appeared to be in her early twenties, with neat short hair, a round face still showing traces of baby fat, wearing a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses, simple and unadorned.
Pointing to the girl, Pei Jinghong said to Yun Ya, "From now on, she will be your assistant physician, supporting your work. She can also take care of any miscellaneous tasks in life for you."
He turned to look at the girl, who, upon receiving his gaze, stepped forward, slightly bowed her head, and calmly stated, "My name is Wei Qing, graduated from the Clinical Surgery Department of Jiangzhou University, Class of 2027..." The girl recited her résumé methodically.
With her excellent academic performance, she impressed her thesis advisor and turned down the opportunity to pursue a master’s or doctoral degree, choosing instead to work in clinical practice. Her dream was to become an excellent surgeon, and she believed that theory alone couldn’t teach her everything; the best surgeons are formed through practice and experience.
She had joined the hospital after passing a professional exam held by the Health Bureau, ranking first, and intended to work her way up from assistant physician, hoping to become independent after a few years. When the hospital’s senior officials talked to her initially, she hadn’t understood until they mentioned that she was to be Dr. Nyx’s assistant. Even the usually composed her nearly jumped in surprise.
Dr. Nyx, to those who dream of becoming surgeons, was a lofty figure, as unreachable as a deity, and a role model whose surgical cases were frequently discussed among medical students. They all concluded that Dr. Nyx was almost supernatural, with unreplicable success.
But wasn’t Dr. Nyx overseas? It was known that he worked at St. Mary Hospital, so how could such a renowned figure come to Jiangzhou? She thought about it over and over, still feeling like she was dreaming.
It wasn’t until this moment, standing in front of Dr. Nyx and introducing herself, seeing that it was a young girl, that she was surprised, but quickly suppressed it.
Strangely, she wasn’t too astonished, feeling that Dr. Nyx was a legend in her own right.
"Very well, you can follow me from now on." The girl smiled faintly, her beauty unspeakably mesmerizing.
If there was any surprise, she was astounded by the girl’s demeanor and beauty, looking like a figure stepped right out of a painting. What surprised her even more was that Dr. Nyx was a person from Country Hua.
Yun Ya didn’t stay there long. Looking at the time, she prepared to visit a furniture market. Seeing this, Pei Jinghong asked, "Do you have urgent business?"
Yun Ya replied with a smile, "I’m planning to go to the furniture market in a bit."
Pei Jinghong then said with a smile, "That’s perfect. I have a meeting nearby, so I can give you a ride."
"No need, I can take a taxi," Yun Ya declined gently.
