Chapter 126: Chapter 106 Luo Xiaoqiong’s Opportunity
```
"Applause! Applause! Applause!" Warm applause broke out.
Jing Zhe smiled warmly, "Thank you for your enthusiasm, next, I’ll call the roll so we can get to know each other..."
In this era, women tended to be modest, but that didn’t mean they lacked a yearning heart. Jing Zhe’s looks perfectly matched the image of a prince charming in the minds of most girls.
As a result, even those who were not usually keen on cultural classes sat up straight all of a sudden, eyes gleaming as they stared at Jing Zhe, as serious as primary school students who had just started school.
"Now there’s something to watch..." Luo Xiaoqiong muttered softly, curling her lip. What she despised most were women who usually acted all proper but then ogled a good-looking man.
She wasn’t familiar with other classes, but the current expressions of certain girls in class three really did not impress her.
Take Sun Shangmei, for example, who was usually stern when correcting others, but now? Her gaze was fixed intently on Jing Zhe, almost as if she was about to throw herself at him.
And then there was Yuan Mengmeng, whose expression wasn’t much different from Sun Shangmei’s...
It cannot be denied that one’s impression of a person shapes one’s opinion of them. To be fair, everyone’s expressions were similar, but in Luo Xiaoqiong’s eyes, they were really... different.
After the self-introduction and a simple explanation of half of the first Chapter, the first lesson came to a close. There was no school bell here, but from a practical standpoint, Jing Zhe had set each lesson to be fifty minutes, with a fifteen-minute break in between.
"Teacher, I don’t quite understand this part, look..."
"Teacher, what does this part mean..."
"Teacher..."
"..."
Looking at the eager students swarming over after class, Chuxia was speechless. It was only the first Chapter - how difficult could it be to have so many questions?
Had the leaders considered this problem when they arranged for a teacher?
Luo Xiaoqiong nudged her, "Are you going to the bathroom?"
Chuxia rose quickly, "Let’s go, need to move around."
"I’ll go too."
"Me as well."
Liu Meijun and Yun Doudou also followed out. In just two days, the four-girl group had essentially formed. Most girls preferred not to be loners, and it was natural for Liu Meijun to choose them as friends. As for Yun Doudou, it was even more straightforward; when Zhou Hanliang entrusted her to the two of them, it was a clear indication of her small social circle.
"Sigh!"
After they left the room, Liu Meijun sighed deeply, "I guess things are going to be even messier from now on."
"Yeah." Yun Doudou nodded in agreement, "It’s only the first day, and everyone’s already competing for attention. But this is good in a way; those people won’t have the mind to target Chuxia all the time."
"Hopefully..." Luo Xiaoqiong curled her lips, "Chuxia fainted once, and it was Doctor Jing who took care of her, which means she was the first to be alone with Doctor Jing. A woman’s jealousy is irrational. Hey, what’s wrong with that lady?" As she finished speaking, Luo Xiaoqiong had already rushed out.
About a hundred meters from where they stood, a woman in her forties was crouching down in pain, clutching her stomach.
"Auntie, what’s wrong with you?" Luo Xiaoqiong ran up to her and quickly helped her up, "Shall I take you to the General Military Hospital?"
The woman pointed at her bag in agony. Luo Xiaoqiong hurriedly opened it to find a small bottle of medicine, "This?" The woman nodded, signaling for Luo Xiaoqiong to help her pour out the medication.
By the time Chuxia and the others arrived, the woman had already swallowed the medicine. Her complexion improved shortly after, and she smiled gratefully at Luo Xiaoqiong, "Young comrade, thank you. What’s your name?"
Hearing these words, Chuxia’s lips twitched involuntarily, as she had heard this phrase all too often in educational films before.
"Auntie, are you feeling better now?" Luo Xiaoqiong looked her over, "Should I take you to the hospital right now?"
"No need, it’s an old ailment that I didn’t expect to act up suddenly..."
"Director Xu..." A young female soldier in her early twenties ran over, panic-stricken, "I’ve been looking everywhere for you. How did you end up here?"
"I was a bit bored and wanted to walk around..." The woman smiled at the young soldier and pointed to Luo Xiaoqiong, "Take down this little comrade’s information, she just saved me."
"Director, you..." The soldier started to tear up, "It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have left you there by yourself..."
```
"Alright." The woman kindly patted the soldier’s hand. "You can’t very well follow me and not be able to go to the restroom, right?" As if thinking of something, the woman looked at Luo Xiaoqiong, "You’re the new medic we just recruited, aren’t you?"
"Yes." Luo Xiaoqiong nodded. "Now that you’re okay, I’m relieved. I have a class soon, so goodbye."
"Hold on." The woman grabbed her. "How about you come work with me?"
"Ah?" Luo Xiaoqiong stared at her blankly, not sure what to say. Who was this person, asking her to work by her side... Was there something wrong with her mind?
"Shouldn’t you thank Director Xu quickly..." the young female soldier said anxiously, secretly pinching Luo Xiaoqiong. "Director Xu is the head of the General Military Hospital, and she’s here today to inspect the work in the military area."
"Xiao Miao, don’t be impatient!" Director Xu glared at the soldier and then smiled warmly at Luo Xiaoqiong, "Comrade, I really liked how cool-headed you were in a crisis. If you’re willing, I can start the transfer process for you right away.
"You can skip the internship period, let Xiao Miao guide you for a while, and then you can directly become my assistant. If you’re interested in medicine, I can send you to a medical school for training, or you can study right here.
"As for your official position, I’ll get that sorted out immediately. You should think it over. I’m not doing this just because you saved me just now. I don’t want to see your talent go to waste."
Chuxia secretly marveled. A leader was indeed a leader, with an impeccable way of speaking! If Luo Xiaoqiong really accepted and became her assistant, there would be no talk of her getting the job through the back door.
"I..." The sudden news stunned Luo Xiaoqiong. It seemed like a great opportunity, but if she accepted, she wouldn’t be able to take care of Chuxia.
She had promised her parents to look after Chuxia.
"Director, thank you, but I want to stay with Chuxia."
Kid, what you’re saying could easily be misconstrued. Are you suggesting a buy one, get one free deal?
Director Xu chuckled lightly, "What a loyal little comrade. Which one of you is Chuxia?"
"I am, my name is Lin Chuxia." Chuxia quickly stepped forward. "Director, we grew up together. Please don’t take her words seriously. She’s just overwhelmed by the good news and doesn’t know what to say."
"No..."
Luo Xiaoqiong’s words were cut off by Chuxia, "Director, how about this? Give Xiaoqiong some time to think and calm her excited heart, okay?"
"Alright, it was my haste." Director Xu waved her hand at them, "We can talk about this another day. Xiao Luo, Xiao Miao will get in touch with you. Think seriously about my offer."
"She... was she serious?" After Director Xu and Xiao Miao had walked away, Luo Xiaoqiong asked incredulously.
"It seems so." Chuxia patted her. "This is a good thing, Xiaoqiong. I always knew you were blessed. Go on, following her will surely be better for your future than staying here."
Chuxia knew all too well the importance of connections and relationships.
Although she was still trying to figure out why Director Xu was so fond of Xiaoqiong, considering the era and Luo Xiaoqiong’s background, she believed that transferring to the General Military Hospital would definitely be advantageous.
Xiaoqiong was the first good friend she had approved of. As much as she didn’t want to let go, she couldn’t hold her back from a better opportunity, especially when the other person wasn’t in a position to make the best decision for herself. Chuxia had been ahead of this era and had a clearer vision of future trends.
If Director Xu had taken an interest in her, Chuxia certainly wouldn’t have refused.
However, from the look on Director Xu’s face, it was clear she only had eyes for Luo Xiaoqiong. Chuxia could have been an additional benefit, perhaps, but she had her pride. To be an accessory wasn’t for her.
"Yes, Xiaoqiong, Chuxia is right. It’s a rare opportunity that you should cherish. Besides, the General Military Hospital isn’t far from here. We can visit you when we’re off, and you can see us when you’re off," Liu Meijun also advised.
"Xiaoqiong, since you’re not from City A, you might not understand the stature the General Military Hospital has in everyone’s hearts. Let’s put it this way, if such an opportunity were presented to the mayor’s daughter, she’d have to think it over," Yun Doudou added, perhaps hyperbolically, but effectively making the point that the opportunity was indeed rare.
"Is it really that good?" Luo Xiaoqiong was even more conflicted. All this felt like a dream to her. One minute she was attending class, the next she had this incredible opportunity fall into her lap.
After their analysis, she understood that if she really followed Director Xu’s arrangement, her future would certainly not be any worse than her comrades’.
But... Her gaze fell on Chuxia, and she hesitated again. She had already once acted without loyalty, and that time, she nearly lost this friend. This time...
Chuxia, unaware that she was recalling the incident with the name change, assumed she was simply hesitating and said, "After all, this is your own matter. We’re just offering advice, not pushing you. Take a couple of days to think it over."
Having said that, she inwardly sighed. What a friend she was! She needed to decide whether or not to marry Zhou Mikang in the next few days, while Luo Xiaoqiong was facing a tough choice of her own.
Thus thinking, Chuxia wondered if not telling Luo Xiaoqiong about her own situation with Zhou Mikang was a bit lacking in the spirit of friendship? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote and support it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
