Chapter 262: You like lively people?

Around noon, Shen Qian affectionately called Bai Zhi to go to the cafeteria to get lunch.

"Dr. Xiaobai, did you bring your lunchbox?"

Bai Zhi smiled and nodded, "I took it. My Lu Ye packed a lunchbox in my bag."

She only discovered it when she went to get the silver needles.

She never even considered that she would need to bring her own lunchbox to work at the hospital.

After all, I have no experience working in a hospital.

The two walked towards the cafeteria, each carrying an aluminum lunchbox. Bai Zhi looked at the elegant girl beside her and said, "Dr. Chen, thank you."

This morning, Shen Qian was by her side supporting her the whole time. She felt very warm-hearted that the two of them could be harmonious and friendly in front of a group of male comrades, helping each other.

"What are you thanking me for?" Shen Qian felt a little embarrassed because of Bai Zhi's words.

She looked at Bai Zhi with a sincere expression and said, "Dr. Bai, I should be thanking you. You are really amazing. The best decision I made this year was to come to the military hospital and join this research and development team."

"As a military medic, I used to watch those soldiers struggle in agony as criminals injected them with those inexplicable drugs, and we were helpless, we could only watch. You can't imagine how that felt..."

Shen Qian's mood turned somber when she brought up the topic.

I also felt utterly powerless.

At this moment, she looked at Bai Zhi with admiration, but also with great seriousness. "Dr. Bai, I felt a lot of pressure watching you work in the lab today. Although I have joined this medical research and development team, I think it would be difficult for me to achieve anything in this field with my current level of expertise. Acupuncture is not something that ordinary people can learn in a short period of time."

Even Deputy Director Chen felt powerless to take action at that time.

Besides, she was a complete novice who only knew the names of some Chinese medicines.

Hearing Shen Qian's concerns, Bai Zhi comforted her in a relaxed tone, "Dr. Shen, acupuncture is only one step in the treatment. This detoxification therapy consists of many complex procedures. In addition, each patient's condition is different, and the corresponding approaches we need are also different. The treatment methods cannot be one-size-fits-all. As I said, depending on the properties of the medicine, we will also add Western medicine treatment. Moreover, while we are developing detoxification plans, those criminals are also constantly researching more lethal new drugs. This road is long and arduous. If we are to continue on this path, the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine will be indispensable in the future."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Qian and asked a serious question, "What are your future career plans? Did you join this medical team just to learn something temporarily and go back, or do you hope to develop a long-term career in this field?"

If you're just here to gain prestige, then there's no need to be so genuine.

She could tell at a glance that the other experts didn't trust her, a complete newbie, so she didn't intend to treat them sincerely.

Everyone should handle business strictly, and as for the research results, they can share them with her if they want.

However, she cannot guarantee that they will be able to solve the problem if unexpected situations arise in the future.

As they were talking, the two arrived at the cafeteria, got their food, and sat down at the last row to eat.

Shen Qian glanced around; there weren't many colleagues left eating. She said softly,

"To be honest, before coming to the military hospital, I thought I could learn some of your detoxification treatments as soon as possible to relieve the pain of more comrades. But after I arrived, I learned about Lu Ye's treatment process at the military hospital. When I learned that the experts at the military hospital had done nothing to help in this matter except toil, and that it was all thanks to traditional Chinese medicine, I was confused. But through our conversation just now, I have a clearer understanding of my future career plans."

As Shen Qian spoke, her expression hardened. She looked at Bai Zhi and smiled as she said, "Since this is a long and arduous road, it will certainly be difficult for one person to walk it alone. Doctor Bai, do you need someone to fight alongside you?"

Bai Zhi met her gaze and asked, "Can I trust you?"

"Comrade Bai Zhi, I am a military doctor."

“Okay, just for those four words.” Bai Zhi extended her hand to her. “I believe you will not let your profession down.”

"Thank you." Shen Qian and Bai Zhi chatted for a while, and Shen Qian no longer felt reserved as before.

"You have to admit, my brother Ye has great taste." She was sitting opposite Bai Zhi, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

“He’s usually so quiet and reserved, we were worried about how he would find a partner, but we never expected that he would be the first among us to get a girlfriend.”

Shen Qian sincerely said, "I can tell that Brother Ye really loves you."

Bai Zhi and Shen Qian had become quite familiar with each other. She smiled and teased, "To be honest, when I first met Lu Ye, I misunderstood the relationship between you two."

"The two of us?" Shen Qian blinked her curious eyes. "What misunderstanding do you have about us?"

I thought you two were a couple.

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Shen Qian couldn't help but chuckle.

She shook her head with a look of disgust, "I don't like his aloof and reserved type. Being with him would be exhausting."

"Really?" Bai Zhi looked puzzled. Why didn't she feel tired being with Lu Ye?

“Of course not in front of you. I can see that his indifference is only directed at us; you are the exception.”

Perhaps this is the power of love.

As Bai Zhi listened to her words and ate the fried potatoes in her lunchbox, she felt that life was quite enjoyable.

She found love, made friends, and her career is on the rise.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

In this life, she was happy and joyful, striving forward step by step, feeling that life was incredibly wonderful.

“You don’t like quiet people, then…” Bai Zhi was halfway through her meal when she suddenly looked up at Shen Qian and scrutinized her, her words hitting the nail on the head, “You like lively people.”

Shen Qian, "!!!"

She brushed her hair back, her eyes sparkling, and stood up with her lunchbox in hand. "We've finished eating, let's go home early."

She didn't want to bring up the topic, and Bai Zhi didn't continue.

When the two returned to the office, no one else had arrived except for Deputy Director Chen.

Deputy Director Chen was reading a medical book when he saw Bai Zhi and Shen Qian come in. He politely stood up and greeted them with a smile.

Such politeness from a senior colleague made the two women feel somewhat reserved.

"Deputy Director Chen, please have a seat."

Bai Zhi noticed that he was reading books on traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

Deputy Director Chen put down his book and asked Bai Zhi, "Dr. Bai, look at this acupoint in the book. It says that when performing acupuncture, the needle should not be inserted too deeply, but rather at an oblique angle of 1mm. How do I control the technique?"

Bai Zhi leaned over and took a look, saying, "Deputy Director Chen, we also struggled with this problem before. We found that it was difficult to control the depth with the length of a regular silver needle. So we improved the size of the needle and practiced more and more. After practicing the technique repeatedly, we were able to control the force naturally."

"First, we need to improve the size of the silver needles; second, we need to strengthen our practice so that we can become proficient through practice." Deputy Director Chen picked up his pen very seriously and took notes.

His humble and earnest attitude made Bai Zhi feel good about this senior.

"Yes, if you're interested in this, we can discuss it when we have some free time."

The other doctors didn't arrive until after 2 p.m.

It's pretty much right on time for starting work.
