Chapter 181 - Stunned! (1/2)
Zhang Fan went back to his apartment and changed his clothes. He then phoned Shao Hua, since she also knew that he was going to the excellent youths of Chasu City award ceremony today. It was likely that she was waiting for his good news.
”Have your parents eaten already?” Zhang Fan asked Shao Hua.
”They had a late lunch, so they didn't have appetite for dinner and went out for a walk instead. I was waiting for you. Is the ceremony over? Did you have to go on stage to give a speech?” Shao Hua giggled at her own joke.
”Nope, since I'm not high-ranking enough to give a speech. No need for you to cook dinner. How about coming out to eat dinner with us?” Zhang Fan also explained what had happened today.
”Are you alright? Are you tired?” Shao Hua asked out of concern.
”It's fine. I'm not tired at all. Everything was pretty successful. How about I come pick you up? You can also meet some new friends.”
”Okay. I'll be waiting for you at the neighborhood entrance then.”
”Alright, but I think it'll take me about 20 or so minutes to get there. Don't come out too early. It's really cold.” Zhang Fan then took a shower and put on some normal clothes before heading out. He really wasn't accustomed to wearing a suit and tie.
When Zhu Bing met Shao Hua, his originally extinguished flames of passion suddenly became ignited again. E Restaurant's food was extremely spicy, which helped to set a nice atmosphere for the five young people's meal. After the unexpected incident at the previous hot pot restaurant, Lu Renjia had calmed down significantly and didn't act so arrogantly anymore. She also had plenty of smiles for Zhu Bing. They counted as comrades who had experienced a battle together now! However, it was unknown what the result of a romance between an ordinary policeman who could only work hard and the daughter of a high-ranking government official would be. One could only hope that it would end well!
On Monday morning, when Zhang Fan went to the endocrinology department, he didn't even get a chance to report in to the director, as the hospital administration department summoned him. It turned out that yesterday, the pregnant woman he had helped had come over with all her friends and family, a large group of more than 100 people, to parade around, making music and drumming as they gave a silk banner to Chasu City Hospital.
They had made a rather large commotion. In fact, they even hired a band to start playing music all the way from downtown to Chasu City Hospital.
The child's father was a young and upcoming elite at the post office. In order to express his utmost gratitude, he even invited the leader of the post office to come thank the hospital.
Although there had been no prior notification, the leader of Chasu City's main post office would have equal ranking to Superintendent Ouyang. Just for this alone, Superintendent Ouyang personally stood at the hospital entrance to receive the crowd.
Such things were Superintendent Ouyang's favorite activities. The hospital had a publicity department. Zhang Fan was made to take countless pictures together with the silk banner as if he was a trained monkey. Some people were born leaders, while some people were naturally unsuited for leadership positions.
Zhang Fan was able to easily converse with any patient or their family members. Zhang Fan wasn't afraid of even the most difficult surgery or most difficult family members. However, Zhang Fan truly wasn't used to facing this type of event with all its glory. He was even really shy as if he had been discovered while doing something he shouldn't have. This was a common problem for those who were highly skilled! Being the superintendent or some high management position would be beyond him.
Superintendent Ouyang could tell that Zhang Fan wasn't acting as naturally as normal. She was happy, yet also disappointed. Superintendent Ouyang really liked Zhang Fan. She planned on retiring in five years. It would be quite difficult for her to find and groom someone to take over her superintendent position, and Zhang Fan was amazingly skilled. Although Chasu City was rather small, she felt that it would be quite nice if Zhang Fan could take over her position in the future as this would also help to make Zhang Fan stay in Chasu City.
