Chapter 1109: Chapter 1091: The Person Has Escaped Chapter 1109: Chapter 1091: The Person Has Escaped Of course, she wasn’t just acting tough; she knew her own abilities and her limits.

The nurse double-checked before finally making the arrangements.

Tang Yuxin didn’t stop there; she only rested for about ten minutes before entering the operating room again.

As she had expected, the surgery wasn’t very difficult, so it took her less than two hours to finish.

After coming out, she first went to the window to see if it had started snowing outside.

Indeed, when everyone thought the skies had cleared and assumed spring was soon to follow, it unexpectedly began to snow heavily once more.

Fortunately, this only meant heavy snowfall without significant disruption to travel, and there was no need to stockpile food.

Even after two months of heavy snow in her past life, she hadn’t seen prices rise steeply, because not all major cities in the country were experiencing snow, and some even enjoyed warmth like that of spring.

Tang Yuxin wanted Tang Zhinian to take their child to another city to spend the winter.

But in the end, she gave up on the idea, considering she had just returned from Yun City, where an earthquake had occurred during her visit, possibly leaving her father with a poor impression of traveling.

So, she didn’t bring up going out again.

After removing her clothes, Tang Yuxin prepared to rest.

The day had been more exhausting than she had anticipated, and she hoped to be fully rejuvenated after a night’s sleep.

As for Jerry Song’s matter, she didn’t need to deal with it.

The hospital would handle it, and she had already done enough by aiding him; nothing was done in vain.

All matters had to be dealt with according to hospital regulations.

She went straight back to her dormitory and had a good sleep.

Gu Ning didn’t return for the night, and when Tang Yuxin woke up, she instinctively reached for the spot beside her, only to find it devoid of warmth, indicating Gu Ning hadn’t come back.

She took out her phone and called Gu Ning.

Soon after, she heard Gu Ning’s voice, clear and devoid of any drowsiness.

“This time it was fine,” said Gu Ning.

“Because we bought a large amount of industrial salt, we’ve been using it to clear the roads.

There’s hardly any accumulation of snow on the roads, which are being constantly cleared, so there’s no issue with heavy snowfall.

Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to clear later.”
“It’s better to prevent such situations from happening in the first place.”
Tang Yuxin pulled the blanket tighter around herself.

As the night wore on, she found it harder to sleep and sat up, considering whether to deliver love and care like she did during her university days.

But then she thought better of it; she wasn’t young anymore.

As an older auntie, she had to do what an older auntie should do: earn money to support her family and work with peace of mind.

She had several major surgeries to perform tomorrow, and she believed that nothing would happen to Gu Ning.

Groggily, she fell asleep again.

When she woke up the next day, the sky was already bright.

She ran to the window, hoping to gauge the extent of the snowfall outside.

The entire street was blanketed in snow, and it was still snowing heavilyaEUR”half a day’s snowfall might be enough to cover the entire city.

She tightened her thin clothes around her but felt no cold at all.

Outside was a world of ice and snow, but inside she was sweating from the heat, proof that Beijing General Hospital’s heating system was indeed famous for being excellent.

So she thought applying for employee housing in advance was indeed the right decision; otherwise, she would be like other commuters, facing the snowstorm early in the morning to get to work.

She went to her office and completed the two surgeries scheduled for the day.

After that, there wasn’t much left to do, aside from the unexpected departure of Jerry Song.

“He’s gone?”
Tang Yuxin was confused about how he could have just left, considering even surgical complications wouldn’t necessitate such a departure.

“He couldn’t handle the blow to his pride,” Li Jia said, always eager for gossip.

“These overseas returnees usually have high attitudes and expect that upon their return, they will secure the top position in the hospital and make all the other doctors, old and new, give way to them.”
“He couldn’t bear even the smallest setback.”
“Where did he go?”
Tang Yuxin didn’t expect Jerry Song to be so fragile; she had thought he was in for a long battle, determined not to give up until he had defeated her.

So his leaving after just one setback was a surpriseaEUR”what was the point of his initial show of strength?

Was it just a joke?

“I heard he went back overseas.”
Li Jia shrugged.

“He didn’t even return to Province Third Hospital.

Probably afraid of losing face.”
“The kids nowadays really can’t endure much.”
“He’s older than you,” Li Jia reminded Tang Yuxin.

“Don’t always think of yourself as an older auntie.

Although your medical skills and experience might match that of an old professor, you are still aaEUR| young lady in your twenties.”
Tang Yuxin placed her hand under her chin, then smiled.

“A budding flower.”
Li Jia was leaned over the desk, occasionally slapping the surface, probably laughing so hard her stomach hurt.

Tang Yuxin shrugged her shoulders; she needed to prepare for tomorrow’s surgery and deal with the influx of emergency patients due to the heavy snow.

As for Director Zhu, he was in his office, holding the phone in one hand and akimbo with the other.

“Old He, look what you’ve done to me,” Director Zhu complained.

“You said he was a returnee from abroad with superb medical skills, a hundred percent success rate in all major surgeries, and a rising star in the medical world.”
“And now, without a word, he runs off, leaving me with this mess to clean up.

Who’s supposed to handle this?”
Director He on the other end could only apologize profusely with a smile.

He had simply arranged for someone to make things difficult for Old Zhu, but now he was the one who ended up in the worst position.

“Does Director Zhu think he can be shameless just because he secured a good doctor?

If it weren’t for his quick action, that doctor would have been with Province Third Hospital, and he wouldn’t have to be enviously thinking about someone else’s doctor daily, scheming to poach them.”
But Director Zhu wouldn’t allow it, and now here he was, defeated and embarrassed, unable to lift his head in front of Director Zhu.
