Chapter 929: Chapter 929: Touching upon Interests

"Oh, I understand now," Ruan Fangfang nodded thoughtfully.

"What about you?" Since Ruan Fangfang had inquired about his situation, Lei Linxuan also wanted to know about the interns’ progress, "How much longer before you finish your internship? Which department will you go to next?"

"This is my last rotation," Ruan Fangfang said and then refused to say another word to Lei Linxuan.

She made the excuse that she had other things to do and then she left.

Only then did Lei Linxuan go to fill his water bottle and returned to the office.

Around him, a group of interns was chattering away, whereas An Hao was quietly sitting at her station, still organizing the notes she had taken that morning.

Seeing Lei Linxuan return from getting water, An Hao casually remarked, "Took you long enough to get water. I thought you fell in there. I was about to come and fish you out."

"I got held up by Ruan Fangfang; we exchanged a few words," Lei Linxuan said as he poured water for An Hao. Lowering his voice, he added quietly, "You know, they’re all really envious of us for having Teacher Yan as our mentor."

An Hao put down her pen and looked up at Lei Linxuan, "Actually, being envied isn’t always a good thing! For instance, right now, can you be certain how many of them are envious and how many are jealous?"

You should know that envy and jealousy have totally different definitions.

"I can’t guarantee that," Lei Linxuan admitted.

"So, you see, trouble comes from the mouth. You should be more careful with your words," An Hao cautioned Gu Shuangshuang, "Did you see the subtle expressions on their faces this morning when Teacher Yan introduced us to everyone?"

"Ah! By that, you mean I might have been too talkative." He shouldn’t have said what he did to Ruan Fangfang.

"It’s okay, just be more careful in the future," An Hao advised.

During the time it took for Ruan Fangfang to visit the restroom, she unexpectedly ran into Ma Mei.

"Teacher Ma, just now in the water room, I asked that Lei Linxuan, and she’s rotating through different departments. And that An Hao, it seems Teacher Yan wants to cultivate her specifically?"

"What? Specific cultivation? That’s ridiculous! As if cardiac surgery is that easy to learn!" Ma Mei said disdainfully.

"But who can say for sure? After all, Director Yan is personally mentoring her," Ruan Fangfang voiced her barely concealed worry, "I heard that this year, we’re only keeping one intern, and now I’m a bit concerned that An Hao’s sudden arrival is the will of the hospital leadership?"

"Don’t worry about it, don’t make wild guesses," Ma Mei said, frowning at Ruan Fangfang, "It’s not your problem to consider! You just focus on studying; I’ll think of a solution for the rest."

"Teacher Ma, you must help me stay," Ruan Fangfang clung tightly to Ma Mei’s hand, "I just want to stay at this hospital. I don’t want to go anywhere else."

"Of course. That’s also why I went to great lengths to get you in here," Ma Mei stated.

"Then thank you so much! With your word, I feel reassured," Ruan Fangfang sighed in relief.

"But don’t be too relieved just yet," Ma Mei sighed, "Human efforts can only go so far; fate plays a role, too. We should prepare for both outcomes! After all, she’s Yan Ye’s student! If Yan Ye intends to keep his student in the department, we’ve got a tough battle ahead."
