Chapter 192: 192, Parting Gift Chapter 192: 192, Parting Gift “Did she agree?” Jiang Tao asked.
“Yes,” Guo Zhenjiang nodded. He hadn’t met Song Yan Ning before, but through the phone call, he felt that Song Yan Ning was a somewhat arrogant child, perhaps because she knew medical skills, so she held a high opinion of herself.
Jiang Tao smirked, “Then now, should we go and report to the dean?” Since they wanted to bring a child into the operating room, they naturally needed the dean’s approval first.
“Let’s go to the dean’s office,” Guo Zhenjiang got up and headed towards the door. He hadn’t been sure whether Song Yan Ning would agree, so he first made a call to ask Song Yan Ning; now that Song Yan Ning had agreed, he naturally had to report to the dean.
Tong Qi waited until Song Yan Ning hung up the phone, “Xiao Ning, do you have something to do?”
Song Yan Ning shook her head, “Nothing right now, but I need to go to Central Hospital before two o’clock, Teacher Tong, let’s switch to another restaurant.” The matters here couldn’t be solved in a short time.
“Okay,” Tong Qi nodded. She also wanted to leave early. With this incident, she had lost the mood to continue eating here.
Song Yan Ning looked at Aunt Wu beside her, “Aunt Wu, no need to worry, nothing serious will happen, we will leave first.”
Aunt Wu nodded, “Okay, when you come next time, Aunt Wu will definitely serve you well.” With the issue unresolved, she also had no mood to entertain guests.
“Aunt Wu, if you really can’t solve it, just call me,” Song Yan Ning said.
“Okay,” Aunt Wu gratefully nodded. She could tell Song Yan Ning was no ordinary person, and often, Ling Yu and Guo Kai who came with her were not ordinary children either.
“You two are really messing around!” Having heard what Guo Zhenjiang said, Dean Li slapped the desk angrily.
“Dean, we are also trying to increase the success rate of this surgery,” Guo Zhenjiang shrunk his neck. The dean really had a fiery temper.
“Increase the success rate? Do you think that child is a lucky charm?” the dean glared at them sternly.
“Dean, that child isn’t ordinary, she’s Yang Lisheng’s granddaughter, her medical skill was taught by Yang Lisheng. You should know Mr. Yang, right?” Jiang Tao spoke hesitantly. He knew letting a child into the operating room was problematic, but they had no other options now; he and Zhenjiang were not very confident about this surgery. Moreover, he believed Mr. Yang wouldn’t make empty claims; he said his granddaughter’s medical skill was better than his, and even if it wasn’t, it shouldn’t be much worse.
“Yang Lisheng? The Master of Chinese Medicine, Yang Lisheng?” the dean had indeed heard of Yang Lisheng, but he had retired many years ago.
“Yes, yesterday I visited Mr. Yang and asked for his help, Mr. Yang said his granddaughter’s medical skill was better than his. I believe Mr. Yang wouldn’t joke about this, so Zhenjiang and I decided to have Song Yan Ning come and try,” Jiang Tao detailed the situation.
The dean nodded, pondered for a moment, “Alright, I approve of you bringing her in.” Although he had never met Yang Lisheng, the industry’s opinion of him was very positive.
“Thank you, Dean!” Jiang Tao and Guo Zhenjiang both sighed in relief. They had already agreed with Song Yan Ning on this, and if they had to change plans last minute, Song Yan Ning’s grandfather would certainly be upset.
“When will she arrive?” Dean Li asked. He trusted Yang Lisheng, but he was still a bit worried; after all, it was not a matter to be taken lightly, so he planned to test Song Yan Ning’s professional knowledge before she entered the operating room.
“She said she would arrive before two o’clock,” Guo Zhenjiang responded. He hoped Song Yan Ning would arrive early; he wanted to see what kind of person she was.
Dean Li nodded, “When she arrives, bring her here first, I have some things I want to ask her.”
“But the surgery is scheduled for two in the afternoon,” Guo Zhenjiang said hesitantly, looking at Dean Li.
“Don’t worry, it won’t take too long, and if she can’t get past this hurdle, do you think it’s necessary to let her into the operating room?” Principal Li said meaningfully to the two men.
Guo Zhenjiang and Jiang Tao exchanged glances, “Okay, we understand.”
Song Yan Ning and Tong Qi found a restaurant near Lantian Inn, which boasted a nice environment.
Led by a waiter, Song Yan Ning and Tong Qi entered a private room.
After all the dishes were served, Tong Qi took out the ancient jade from her bag and presented it to Song Yan Ning, “Xiao Ning, this is for you.”
Song Yan Ning glanced at the ancient jade and looked puzzledly at Tong Qi, “Teacher Tong, why are you giving me something so precious?” The ancient jade was clearly very old and of exceedingly fine quality, making it quite valuable.
“After you start middle school, I won’t be able to see you as often as I can now, and I don’t have much else to give you. This ancient jade is my farewell gift to you,” Tong Qi said with a smile while looking at Song Yan Ning.
Song Yan Ning shook her head, pushing the ancient jade back to Tong Qi, “This ancient jade is very valuable, Teacher, you can give me another farewell gift.”
“Xiao Ning, please accept it; this is a token of my affection,” Tong Qi pushed the ancient jade back to her.
Song Yan Ning looked at the ancient jade, hesitated for a moment, then accepted and put it in her bag, “Since Teacher has given me a farewell gift, I want to give you one as well.”
During the conversation, Song Yan Ning took out two jade pendants and handed them to Tong Qi, “Teacher Tong, these are Peace Jade Pendants given to my grandfather by a Mage. It’s said that wearing them can safeguard the wearer three times. Here, one for you and the other for you to give to someone you are very close to.” These jade pendants, which she had crafted herself, would provide automatic protection in times of danger and would disappear once the three opportunities had been used.
“Okay, then I won’t stand on ceremony,” Tong Qi received the pendants, hanging one around her neck and placing the other in her bag. Although she did not believe in the claim of three times protection that Song Yan Ning mentioned, she found the jade pendants truly beautiful and liked them instantly.
After the meal, Tong Qi drove Song Yan Ning to the Central Hospital.
Song Yan Ning called Guo Zhenjiang to inform him that she had arrived.
“Wait a moment, Uncle Guo will come to pick you up shortly,” Guo Zhenjiang said while heading out of his office.
Jiang Tao also stood up and followed Guo Zhenjiang; he was very curious about Song Yan Ning.
When Song Yan Ning saw two middle-aged doctors in white coats approaching her, she knew one of them had to be Guo Zhenjiang, because he bore a slight resemblance to Guo Kai.
“Are you Song Yan Ning?” Guo Zhenjiang and Jiang Tao were both startled when they saw Song Yan Ning. They truly hadn’t expected Song Yan Ning to be so beautiful, with her fair skin, delicate features, and particularly those spirited eyes, which shone like stars in the sky, radiating brilliant light that made her impossible to overlook.
