She glanced at Ding Min who had slammed the door and left. When Wen Xi turned to look at Li Yu, she quickly hid the coldness in her eyes. She smiled at Li Yu and mouthed a thank you. Then, she lowered her head and continued with her work.

Li Yu’s eyes were dazzled by Wen Xi’s bright and beautiful smile. After being slightly stunned for a while, she slowly regained his senses. She smiled lightly and looked at her beautiful side profile before asking, “You were called away by Director Si after the meeting, and only came back after Director Chen brought us for a ward round. Did the director have something important to discuss with you?”

Hearing Li Yu’s casual and probing tone, Wen Xi did not even raise her head. She just looked at the medical records in front of her as the corners of her mouth slowly curled up into a light smile. She opened her mouth and replied calmly, “It wasn’t Director Si who had something to discuss with me. I was the one who had something to discuss with him.”

“Oh? What did you discuss? Can you tell us?” Li Yu couldn’t help but be curious after hearing that. She threw away the things in her hand and turned to look straight at Wen Xi!

In fact, it wasn’t only Li Yu who was interested. All the doctors in the office curiously looked at her with different looks in their eyes. They seemed to want some sort of info.

This was because the Cardiovascular Surgery Department’s candidate for this year’s trip to the northern border had not been decided yet. Chen Ze was someone who did not care much about these trivial matters, so this matter had become a sharp blade hanging in everyone’s heart.

These doctors were all kind and proud children of heaven. No one wanted to go to a place like the northern border to suffer. However, this was an annual practice. They could not run from this, nor did they have a reason or way to refuse. Hence, they were always worried that this year, if they were not careful, it would really be their turn!

Chen Ze was a stubborn person. If they were to count on him to tell them, they might as well count on Mrs. Chen. Furthermore, Wen Xi was the disciple of the hospital’s old head, Director Si. Thus, her words still carried some weight.

The sooner they decided on the person to go to the northern border, the sooner everyone could be at ease and prepare in advance. It was indeed a little inappropriate to keep dragging things out like this.

After hearing Li Yu’s question, Wen Xi put down the things in her hands and looked up at her colleagues. After thinking for a while, she smiled at Li Yu and asked, “What do you mean? Nothing has been confirmed yet.”

Seeing that everyone’s faces turned green after hearing this, Wen Xi shook her head in amusement and continued, “I know what everyone is worried about. That matter should be settled in a few days, so don’t worry! I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed.”

She stood up as she spoke. She squeezed the medical records in her hand under her arm and walked out of the office with a smile. She still had to go to the nurse’s station to discuss matters related to the patient with Head Nurse Yang. It was getting late today. After dealing with matters in the ward, it was time to go for lunch at the cafeteria.

Li Yu and his colleagues were slightly dazed after hearing Wen Xi’s words. They looked at her in unison as if they were sending her off with their eyes. They only came back to their senses when her figure disappeared through the office door.

“What does Wen Xi mean? What did she mean when she said it will be settled in a few days? And what does she mean by saying we won’t be disappointed? Did they really already decide on the candidate? However, I’ve never even heard the Director and Deputy Director even mention it. They couldn’t possibly have revealed it to Wen Xi, could they?”

After Li Yu heard this, her expression darkened. She looked at her colleague who had asked her those questions, sighing. She helplessly picked up the pen on the table and buried her head back in her work again before replying calmly, “Who knows? Let’s just wait and hear what the leaders say. As long as we stay in Renxin, we’ll have to go sooner or later. It’s just a matter of time!”

After listening to Li Yu’s words, the office was filled with whispers of discussion. Everyone was angry, but did not dare to voice out their complaints about this weird project. There were also some who were slightly jealous of Wen Xi and Chen Ze, who had a superior position in this matter.

Chen Ze was the director of their entire department, so this task of going out to the border would naturally not fall on his head.
