Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 2307 - 2300: Self-Interest

"Director Ji!"

"Dr. Cheng?" Ji Chuan stopped walking and turned to look at Cheng Yue, "What’s up? If I remember correctly, you’re on the night shift tonight, aren’t you?"

"Yes, that’s right. But I have something to deal with tonight, so I’d like to switch shifts with Dr. Lei!" Cheng Yue said.

The department had a rule. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

If two doctors wanted to switch shifts, they needed the approval of the department director.

"Why do you want to switch shifts?" Ji Chuan asked while changing his clothes.

"Here’s the thing. I’m leaving with the team on Monday. I have something to handle tonight, so I want to swap with Dr. Lei. I’ll cover his shift when I return." Cheng Yue explained.

"Alright. Go ahead." Ji Chuan agreed.

Just the day before yesterday, the hospital had a meeting, and the higher-ups decided that the hospital would send a small team to support the medical development of Hanshan Village! To put it simply, it was to provide free medical assistance.

Each department had to send one or two people.

From the General Surgery department, he recommended Cheng Yue!

Firstly, Cheng Yue was a young man with decent skills. When he was transferred to the affiliated hospital, he had already worked in surgery for several years at the Jiangning Military Region General Hospital.

He was favored by Yan Ye as a talented student.

Ji Chuan knew this.

By recommending him, he believed Cheng could perform well. Especially for such tasks of supporting medical development in impoverished areas, it was an opportunity to gain merit. He himself wasn’t interested in such accolades.

But Cheng Yue was young and needed them if he wanted to climb the ranks.

He considered it giving this talented young man a chance to earn merit.

Secondly, Ji Chuan had a bit of a personal motive. If he wanted to develop anything with Yan Huan, he had to go through Cheng Yue.

In Yan Huan’s mind, Cheng Yue had always been someone she couldn’t let go of.

He didn’t think he was worse than Cheng Yue, he just thought Yan Huan had yet to see his merits. So, taking advantage of this opportunity, letting Cheng Yue leave for a while might let him enter Yan Huan’s radar.

This was also a chance for him to be the one nearby to seize.

Ji Chuan finished changing clothes and left the hospital.

He went straight to the department store to buy a gift for Yan Huan.

It’s true that future in-laws need to be pleased, but most crucial was Yan Huan.

He walked around the mall, unable to decide on a gift for Yan Huan. He knew she was not an ordinary woman, and ordinary gifts might not catch her eye.

In the end, when he was about to find a place to call An Hao for help, he saw a counter selling scarves.

A sky-blue scarf caught Ji Chuan’s attention, and he immediately fancied it, stepping forward to ask for its price.

"Our scarves are made of silk and are very expensive!"

"No problem. No matter the price, I’ll buy it!" Ji Chuan, being single for many years, had considerable savings. As long as Yan Huan would like it, he was determined to purchase it.

Eventually, he spent nearly a third of his month’s salary to buy the scarf.

Afterwards, he also bought wine for Mr. Yan and tea for the future mother-in-law. Once everything was ready, he headed to the Yan Family.

.....................

This was Ji Chuan’s first official visit.

Feng Yuzhi was busy in the kitchen, preparing a table full of dishes.

While working, she hummed a little tune.
