godfather of surgery

Chapter 1214 Why

It seems Dr. Wen is in good condition and has not been affected by the incident. Zhang Huijie is quite an interesting girl. No one expected her to cause such a scene. How could such a quiet and gentle girl be so childish?

Song Ziming said, "Actually, there's nothing strange about it, now..."

Song Ziming had just finished speaking when a pathologist rushed in and interrupted him: "Dr. Wen, Zhang Huijie has gone to Dean Xia's office."

She went to Dean Xia's office, she really didn't care about making a scene, she completely disregarded her own reputation, she insisted on making this a big deal out of it, it was truly absurd.

"I have absolutely nothing to do with her, really. Aside from the fact that I've been pursuing her for the past few years, but she's always rejected me, so we have nothing between us. Now I don't want to pursue her anymore, I've lost interest in her, and I have a girlfriend. Why won't she allow me to have a boyfriend? She even questions me about why I gave up pursuing her? Why am I so weak-willed? Why did I get a girlfriend? I was dumbfounded by her questions. If I were her boyfriend, even if I had a boyfriend with whom I had a purely platonic relationship, I could accept her questions. I have absolutely nothing to do with her, so why can't I give up pursuing her? Why can't I have a girlfriend? I've never seen such a domineering and selfish woman." Wen Ru was furious.

A pathologist nearby said, "She went to see Director Zhao, but he dodged the question and didn't really pay attention to her, so she went to see Dean Xia. Now this is going to be interesting."

"Stop with this nonsense. Let's discuss the lab project. We need your collaboration on some work, such as the dynamic pathological feature detection during tumor cell therapy. Nandu Medical University is also using artificial intelligence for monitoring, but I still think you are more reliable. I need to collect data from both sides." Yang Ping was too lazy to listen to this nonsense.

Hearing that Yang Ping believed him, Wen Ruzheng immediately perked up: "You're absolutely right. No matter how powerful artificial intelligence is, it still needs people to build models and feed it data. Without high-quality models and data, how can it evolve? So I still have to look at these new things. I've seen some of the pathology slides you sent, and the proportion of tumor cells undergoing apoptosis has increased significantly..."

"She went, she went, she really went to Dean Xia's office, she went in!" Another doctor ran in, making a lot of noise.

Wen Ru turned and glared at the doctor: "Are you overflowing with energy today? You've already reviewed all the slides? Why are you always focusing on her? Where she goes is her business, we don't need to get so worked up."

"Oh!" The doctor, feeling disappointed, stopped smiling and left.

"Artificial intelligence will evolve rapidly in some fields where there is already a lot of data, but it cannot play a significant role in some innovative fields where there is not enough data," Wen Ruzheng continued.

Just then, Director Zhao's voice could be heard outside the office again: "Dr. Wen, Dr. Wen, Dr. Wen!"

Sigh! Why is it so hard to have a quiet discussion?

"You're hiding here, Dr. Wen. Zhang Huijie went to Dean Xia's office..." Director Zhao saw Yang Ping was also there, but swallowed his words halfway through, after all, it involved Wen Ruzheng's personal privacy.

“It’s alright, you tell me, it’s not like it’s anything shameful. A gentleman is open and honest, what do I have to be afraid of?” Wen Ruzheng said loudly.

Director Zhao then spoke frankly: "She came to me again, saying that you have deceived her feelings all these years, and now you say you will not pursue her anymore, which has hurt her too much. She asked me to talk to you and persuade you to leave your current girlfriend and pursue her again. She has now come to her senses and is giving you a chance. I hope you will cherish it."

“Of course, I can’t let her cause trouble. I came to you now because I wanted to discuss how to resolve this matter. This girl is making a huge fuss, and I’m afraid it might escalate into something serious,” Director Zhao said as he sat down.

“Director Zhao, this is truly an undeserved disaster. I’ve said it many times: I have absolutely no relationship with him. I pursued her, she rejected me, it’s that simple. We’ve never held hands, never kissed, and never had any deeper, more honest conversations. There’s absolutely nothing between us. Now her behavior is affecting my life, and she’s become the victim, while I’m the victim. If this gets out, if my girlfriend weren’t so understanding, she would definitely misunderstand me and think I did something to her and dumped her. If she makes a fuss any more, I’ll really call the police.”

Wen Ru was quite angry.

Director Zhao said, “What’s the use of getting angry? Now we just need to find a way to solve the problem. Call the police? I’ve asked around, and calling the police really won’t help. I can only try to talk to her and help her accept reality. I’m here to discuss this together. I don’t know where to start when I try to talk to her.”

Wen Ruzheng knew that Director Zhao meant well, but this matter was difficult to handle both forcefully and softly, and it was really troublesome to deal with.

"Professor Yang, I'm sorry, how about we talk another time? I'll come to your department then. Don't worry, this won't affect my work; I can handle it." Wen Ruzheng had been interrupted several times because of this, and he felt quite embarrassed.

Yang Ping had no choice but to reschedule with him: "Okay, let's go back first."
-
At this moment, Zhang Huijie was in Dean Xia's office, still sobbing, having used countless tissues.

The cup of hot tea in front of Dean Xia no longer tasted good. He patiently sat down to talk to her. This woman in her thirties was acting like a child.

Do you like him or not?

"I just really like him, that's why I'm heartbroken."

"How much do you like it?"

"I just really, really like him, that's why I asked you for help mediating." Dean Xia said, "How can you expect me to help you at this point? Dr. Wen already has a girlfriend. You expect me, as his superior, to do his ideological work? Persuade him to break up with his girlfriend? And then start dating you?"

“Yes, that’s what I meant. You have more courage than Director Zhao. I’ve talked to Director Zhao about this twice, but he always gave vague answers and made excuses, and he didn’t give me a reply for a long time,” Zhang Huijie said, wiping away her tears.

Dean Xia was also having a headache. He stood up and paced back and forth in his office, saying, "Huijie! You've been working at our hospital since graduation, I think it's been almost ten years, right?"

“Yes, it’s been more than eight years!” Zhang Huijie said.

Dean Xia paused for a moment: "I can say that I have watched you all grow up. I treat you like my own children. I will scold you when I need to, and I will also care for you when I need to."

"What can I say to you? Since you liked Wen Ruzheng so much, why didn't you accept his advances back then? He liked you too, and pursued you for so many years. Everyone in the hospital knew how many times you rejected him, even I knew. If you had readily agreed then, you two would have kids by now. What a wonderful thing! Two PhDs, working at the same hospital, and Dr. Wen was a key talent in our hospital. You liked him, and he liked you. If you had readily agreed then, you could have started a family together. Now, he's no longer interested in you and has a girlfriend, so why do you suddenly remember how good he was? Where were you all before? I really don't know what you young girls are thinking!"

"I was just testing him, wasn't I? Who knew he couldn't withstand the test and went to find someone else? What am I supposed to do now? I just love him." Zhang Huijie started crying again.

"You're going to test him for a few years? He joined the company three years after you, and you're going to test him for five years? What are you testing him for? You're already thirty-six, and you'll be forty in a few years. Do you still think you're so young? Aren't you in a hurry to get married? I'm in a hurry. I met someone as good as Wen Ruzheng and I should have rushed over and gotten married. Why are you putting him through a five-year test? What are you going to do now? How can I help you?"

"At that time, he was far from meeting my ideal boyfriend criteria. He was well-educated, but only 1.78 meters tall. I required my boyfriend to be 1.85 meters tall, which he was far from. He wasn't good-looking either. I required my boyfriend to be sunny and handsome, and he didn't own a house or a car. With so many differences, how could I accept him?"

Dean Xia was speechless, staring at Zhang Huijie for a long time before finally managing to utter a word:

"Where can you find your perfect husband? You can only find him in idol dramas, or in those 'pig butchering scams.' Those are all fake, scams, specifically targeting young women like you. Idol dramas have ruined you all. You're already thirty-six, and you're still being picky, complaining that he doesn't have a house or a car? If you had the money, you could buy a house and a car too. If you don't have money, how can you expect him to? You complain that he's not 1.85 meters tall? How tall are you? 1.6 meters or not? You complain that he's not handsome enough? I don't think you're that good-looking yourself. A PhD, a doctor, a house and a car are just a matter of time. He's only graduated a few years ago, do you expect him to fight for a house and a car? It's good enough that he doesn't look down on you because you're a young woman. If you were my daughter, I'd slap you right now. Don't you know your own worth?"

“Now I’ve figured it out. I don’t require him to have a house or a car. I’m lowering my standards and I can give him a chance.”

“You’ve figured it out, and so has he. You thought you could do whatever you wanted, but now he doesn’t want you anymore. You’ve given away a treasure you had in your grasp.”

"That's why I came to you for help. You're the dean, you have to help me, otherwise I'll come to your office crying every day."

"My goodness, what can I say about you? It's all because of idol dramas that you've all been ruined. You don't even know your own worth, do you think you're priceless? You're thirty-six years old. If you're going to pick someone else, someone else will pick you. Such a good man, and you didn't make a decisive move, you were so hesitant. Now look what happened, he's been snatched away by someone else, and you regret it? I really want to slap you."

Dean Xia really wanted to slap her. Look at Cai Qiaojun from the research institute. She's so smart. She's also a woman in her thirties. Xia Shu has only been working in the research institute for a short time, but she was immediately won over. There was no hesitation, no years of testing, no need for a house, car, or savings. She didn't consider anything and won Xia Shu over with lightning speed. Now the two are preparing to get their marriage certificate and have a bare-bones wedding.

Compared to Cai Qiaojun, she is not just a little bit inferior, but a hundred thousand miles behind. Someone like Wen Ruzheng, who is in his early thirties, is a doctor and associate chief physician, and is now the academic leader of the pathology department. He has a lot of options, but Zhang Huijie may not have that many options. As she gets older, her options become smaller and smaller.

"I'm sorry, but let me make this clear: even if you come to my office crying every day, there's nothing I can do. This is all your own doing, and you have to swallow the bitter pill yourself. Don't expect anyone else to help you. Consider this a lesson, young lady. You need to change some of your views. Watch less of those short dramas; watching too much can make you lose your mind and become detached from reality, understand? Now, get out. If it's really not working out, I'll talk to your director and get you a few days off to reflect on your actions. Don't cry and whine here. I'm very busy all day; I don't have time to deal with your trivial matters," Dean Xia said coldly.

"Then what should I do?" Zhang Huijie became anxious. Dean Xia was making it clear that she wouldn't take care of her matter. If Dean Xia didn't care, who would?

She went to see Professor Yang at the research institute. She heard that Wen Ruzheng respected no one but Professor Yang. Zhang Huijie had a new plan in mind, but she still said, "If you don't take care of this, I'll come and cry every day."

“Zhang Huijie, you can’t do this! Let me tell you, others may coax you, but I won’t indulge you. I’ve already been kind enough by sitting here listening to your tantrums for so long. If you continue to be so childish and act recklessly, I really will slap you. You’re cutting off your own future. Even if Wen Ruzheng doesn’t like you now, he’ll hate you. If a new unmarried doctor comes along, do you think any of them will still be interested in you? Your behavior is as stupid as a pig’s; you’re just wasting your reputation. Let me tell you the truth, I’ve met Wen Ruzheng’s girlfriend. She’s very beautiful, much better than you. She’s at least 1.7 meters tall, a graceful young woman, and her education is also impressive—a PhD from the Public Security University. The key is that she’s only 27 or 28 years old, a recent graduate. She’s better than you in every way. Why should he give up such a good girlfriend for you? Do you think he’s as brain-dead as you are?”

"You'd better calm down and focus on your work. You'll have other opportunities to meet someone suitable in the future. If you keep making a scene like this, not only Wen Ruzheng, but no one will have a good impression of you. You were a very good girl, but you've ruined your reputation by causing such a fuss."

Dean Xia said fiercely.

Zhang Huijie flinched in fright and instinctively dodged, thinking that Dean Xia was coming over to slap her.

Dean Xia picked up his teacup and took a big gulp: "Huijie, stop making a fuss. If you keep this up, you'll never get married. Let's leave it at that. Go apologize to Wen Ruzheng. Be generous and open. You're a very good girl with many advantages. You'll need a suitable man in the future. We recruit so many PhDs every year. Maybe when the time is right, you'll find someone you like. I'll play matchmaker for you."

After saying that, Dean Xia waved his hand and said, "Go back and think about it carefully. Wake up. You've already made a mistake, and you can't make the same mistake again."

Zhang Huijie immediately got up and slunk away. She was terrified of Dean Xia, who might actually slap her. Moreover, every word Dean Xia said felt like a whip lashing her face.
