Chapter 296 — An Evening Engagement
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Are you free tonight? My granddaughter is on leave tomorrow and will be home tonight. I'll have her cook a few dishes, and the two of us can share a drink. How about it?" Guan Xuewen had not discussed medical matters with Wei Zhao for a long time and could barely restrain himself.
If he did not call Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao would not come to him on his own. With no other choice, Guan Xuewen had to summon his nerve and dial Wei Zhao's number.
"Tonight? That works too." Wei Zhao had also been wanting to discuss his idea of founding a pharmaceutical company with Guan Xuewen, but simply had not found the time. Now that Guan Xuewen had called him, Wei Zhao naturally would not refuse.
"Then it is settled! I will be waiting for you at home on the dot!" Guan Xuewen was delighted to hear Wei Zhao agree to visit.
"No problem. I will be there on time to disturb you," Wei Zhao said with a smile.
After hanging up on Wei Zhao, Guan Xuewen immediately called his granddaughter Guan Xin.
Guan Xin had just finished giving her statement and had been given several days off directly by the director, who told her to go home and rest properly.
Guan Xin's words—"Don't worry about me, shoot, quickly! The patient in the ward was stabbed by him; if he is not treated soon, his life will be in danger"—had already spread through the hospital, and even the news media had gotten wind of it and come to interview her.
Director Qin was overjoyed, his face wreathed in smiles before the reporters who came to interview him! Nowadays, many reporters liked to run negative stories about hospitals, and Director Qin was furious about it, but this time, with what had happened to Guan Xin, Director Qin could hold his head high!
Who would dare speak ill of our hospital now? Our nurse is the finest; when faced with a threat to her life, the first thing she thought of was the safety of her patient, not herself.
Of course, beyond that, no one knew the details of how Huang Guanya had been***, because at the time only the police had been in front; everyone else could only stand far off at the perimeter. They had heard Guan Xin's shout, but did not know that Huang Guanya had been finished off by Wei Zhao.
Because Guan Xuewen and Guan Xin's father were shareholders in the hospital, Director Qin wanted to do Guan Xin a favor, but could not find a suitable reason. Promoting someone always required convincing others, did it not?
This time, however, he intended to promote Guan Xin by exception, and he supposed no one would voice any objection. Such an outstanding nurse—if not her, then who should be promoted?
While giving Guan Xin her leave, Director Qin had already decided to convene a meeting of the hospital leadership that afternoon to discuss the matter of Guan Xin's personnel adjustment. Was not the old head nurse of the inpatient department about to retire? First promote Guan Xin to deputy head nurse, and then wait for***.
As for whether Guan Xin could achieve even more in the future, that would depend on her.
Guan Xin had just left the hospital and was about to head home when her phone rang. She took it out and saw it was the home number. Guan Xin was startled—could her grandfather have learned that she had been injured?
Guan Xin frowned and silently cursed some loose-lipped, bootlicking leader at the hospital! She had been afraid her grandfather would worry, so she had instructed Director Qin not to tell her father and grandfather about the matter—so how had her grandfather's call come so quickly?
"Grandfather..." Guan Xin answered the phone and greeted him somewhat uncertainly.
"Xin Xin, are you off tomorrow?" Guan Xuewen asked with a smile.
"Yes... why?" Guan Xin was slightly taken aback. From her grandfather's tone, he seemed not to know about what had happened at the hospital earlier, and Guan Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
