What to do when your first love cries and asks for reconciliation?

"Director, you're still at get off work? What do you want to talk to me about at this hour?"

Su Huai pushed open the door of the department director's office. The strangeness in his voice had not completely subsided, and there was still a faint blush on his face, revealing that he wanted to say something but couldn't.

If the person sitting inside was a young girl who had been in love, she would be able to tell at a glance what the cold Dr. Su had just experienced.

Unfortunately, the person sitting inside was Jiang Tongcai, the serious-looking director of the thyroid and breast department, who had no interest in this at all.

Su Huai responded with a sigh filled with complex emotions, followed by a sentence: "Please sit down first."

Su Huai pulled out his chair in surprise, but his questioning tone was joking:

"What happened? Another patient causing a disturbance in the department? Did you have an argument with Director Zhang? Or...is your son being called in again?"

It was rare for her to say so many words at once, so Jiang Tongcai glanced at her coldly.

I'm in a hurry, and you're still happily taking care of your wife!

The news of Su Huai's marriage has caused a lot of buzz in the hospital these past two days. After all these years of working together, Su Huai didn't reveal a single word. It's a shame that he wanted to help her choose a good home before.

Waste of feelings!

It's inevitable that you will feel sad when the younger generation you have always taken care of and loved is unwilling to tell you something as important as their marriage.

However, when Jiang Tongcai thought about the old man surnamed Fang who also knew about this, he felt balanced in his heart.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Su Huai was much kinder.

"Whose son is being called to school again? Su Huai, watch your words!"

Jiang Tongcai's son is a hopeless case, and everyone in the department knows about it. He causes trouble at school every day, and several times he has to put down his work and go to school to be criticized.

Every time he mentioned his son, he would get angry. The brave ones in the department also liked to joke about it. Jiang Tongcai had a good temper and usually didn't say anything, but sometimes he would even curse a few words.

That's why Su Huai said that when he saw his sad face. He was just joking and didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, the old man was in such a bad mood tonight. She quickly admitted her mistake, but her tone was nonchalant:

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay?"

Jiang Tongcai glanced at her and snorted coldly.

"That's about right. How's your wife doing?"

"Cough cough...cough cough cough..."

Su Huai just picked up the unopened bottle of mineral water and took a sip when he was choked by his words.

"You're already married, why are you more childish than before? You can even choke when drinking water, and no one's competing with you for it."

Jiang Tongcai hurriedly pulled out a few sheets of toilet paper from the drawer, stood up and handed them to her, without stopping his scolding.

"I heard your wife has an acquired heart disease, and the situation isn't optimistic." Then, with a look of disdain, "How are you going to take care of her?"

After his lecture, the coughing finally stopped.

Su Huai took the tissue and wiped the corner of his lips, as elegant as ever.

The word "wife" really caught her off guard, so she lost her composure, but the corners of her mouth still raised honestly, and her heart was filled with uncontrollable joy.

Everyone knows that Gu Yu is her wife...

very nice.

Jiang Tongcai was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore. He waved his hands, wishing he could kick the man out.

"Stop, stop smiling like that. This is the boss's office, not a place for you to show off your affection."

Su Huai curled her lips. Being able to achieve a happy ending with the person she likes (temporarily), a normal person's reaction would be to tell the world. Of course, she would do the same. After all, she was still young, and when she encountered something that really made her happy, she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.

I could only sigh in my heart that Old Man Jiang was so boring. It was the first time I took the initiative to show my emotions to someone, but I was interrupted so ruthlessly.

Her expression is so disgusted, doesn't she have any dignity?

Complaints aside, Jiang Tongcai should have gone home to rest after get off work by now. Not only did he not go home today, he also called her over, and his expression never relaxed.

Thinking about what might have happened recently, Su Huai quickly stopped smiling and his expression became serious.

"Let's not talk about my business for now. Why did you call me here?"

It would have been fine if I hadn't asked. As soon as I asked, the atmosphere in the office, which had just begun to improve, instantly became quiet again.

Jiang Tongcai frowned, and the teacup in his hand slammed heavily on the desk with a bang.

Su Huai's heart sank as well. As if she had thought of something, she opened her mouth to speak, but the words on the tip of her tongue came out from Jiang Tongcai's mouth.

"The higher-ups intend to have Dean Fang temporarily step down from the front lines and appoint a new acting dean."

Su Huai frowned, his fingers rubbing in circles as usual. "Teacher Fang will be able to retire in half a year. Why is he asking to leave the front line now? Can't those people above him even wait for this little time?"

Jiang Tongcai shook his head. "Their explanation was that the next dean could become familiar with the affairs of the academy as acting dean, and could also exchange experiences with Mr. Fang before he officially retires."

So, the so-called acting dean is the next dean?

Su Huai's lips were pursed straight, his expression was indifferent, and half of his face was sunken in shadow, making it difficult to see or guess what he was looking at.

The municipal hospital is quite large, with nearly a thousand full-time doctors alone. If you include the nurse interns and doctors who come here for further training, there are at least several thousand people.

The bigger the scale, the more cake can be divided, and various forces have been competing for many years.

At this critical juncture, Dean Fang has delegated power and a new dean has taken office. Who knows how many people with unstable foundations will be knocked down by this gust of wind.

Su Huai has always hated getting involved in these power struggles. In the past, with Dean Fang's favoritism, no one dared to offend her.

Now that Dean Fang is gone, Zhang and his son will probably be the first ones to make things difficult for her.

No wonder Mr. Fang said to her earnestly that night that she would have to walk her own path in the future.

I think he should have known at that time that he didn't have much time left in this position.

Su Huai lowered her eyes, and the interests of all parties slowly unfolded in her mind. In the end, only one name was left:

"Who do you want to be the acting dean? Zhang Ruifang?"

Jiang Tongcai nodded in agreement.

"When will Teacher Fang step down?" Su Huai asked again.

"I've already left. This morning."

Jiang Tongcai sighed and kept an eye on her reaction.

However, Su Huai did not get as furious as he thought, slamming the table and cursing.

She just said "hmm" lightly, and didn't seem surprised.

Anyway, this day will come sooner or later. One day later or one day earlier, it makes no difference to Su Huai.

It's just so sudden, it seems we have to speed up, otherwise we won't be able to give Director Zhang the promotion gift on the day he takes office.

This is not okay.

His fingertips rubbed his chin gently, and a meaningful smile flashed in Su Huai's eyes.

"Mr. Fang was invited by Professor Wen to teach at University A for the rest of his life."

"Before he left, he told me to tell you that the gates of University A are always open to you. You can come back to him if you need anything."

Jiang Tongcai thought that her silence was caused by excessive sadness, so in order to give her more time to calm down, he stopped talking after conveying his message.

After all, no one would be able to bear the fact that a teacher who has guided you for many years and has been kind to you suddenly leaves without saying goodbye.

But he obviously underestimated Su Huai's ability to withstand blows.

"Teacher Fang's departure is inevitable, but I still have doubts about Zhang Ruifang taking over as dean."

Su Huai held the handles on both sides of the seat with both hands and leaned back, like a trader who truly controlled the overall situation, calm and powerful.

Even Jiang Tongcai was shocked by her aura and subconsciously asked:

“What doubts?”

Su Huai did not answer directly, but just said: "You will know soon."
