Chapter 2223: Chapter 2223: Or Go Back
Two days have passed.
That day, Xie Wanying received notice from her mother that today she would be meeting Aunt Min and Teacher Zhuang at a teahouse, and she should come to see the elders after work.
Inside the teahouse, the afternoon sunlight was quite nice.
Sun Rongfang and Xiao Shugang, Shang Siling found a pretty good teahouse, reserved a spot, and waited for the guests to arrive.
The two little ones weren’t around; today He Xiangyu was off, and she drove the family’s small car to take the kids for a ride around the Imperial City.
Without children around, it was indeed much quieter. Before the guests arrived, Xiao Shugang and Sun Rongfang discussed among themselves what to say.
It turned out that the situation with Wu Lixuan was a wake-up call for these elders. When children go to distant places for work and study, feeling lonely and helpless, they are bound to encounter similar situations of being bullied.
If there’s no family network to support the child in a foreign place, once the child breaks off relations with others and wants to seek help from family, the family is too far to assist. The entire Xie, Sun, Xiao, and Shang families have no relatives in the Capital. Sun Rongfang harbored these worries about her daughter staying in the Capital for work.
Xiao Shugang’s plan for his cousin was like this: "Studying in the Capital and then returning to work in the hometown is a very good path. Yingying has excellent grades, Songyuan is too small to accommodate Yingying, she can come to the provincial capital. Although the top-tier hospitals in our provincial capital might not match up to those like Capital Guoxie, they are on par with other top-tier hospitals in the Capital."
The provincial capital’s Tumor Hospital and Zhongshan Medical University’s several affiliated hospitals rank among the few top hospitals nationwide, in terms of both comprehensive and specialized fields. Xiao Shugang’s view was right.
"We understood Yingying’s desire to do her best in exams and attend the best school back then," Shang Siling continued her husband’s words, "The problem is that the job market for medical students is tougher than we outsiders imagined. If Yingying can’t stay at the best hospital in the Capital, her cousin and I think she could choose to return to the provincial capital. We have some connections in the provincial capital and can help her bridge to the top-tier hospitals there. If she encounters any trouble at work in the future, her cousin and I can have someone back her up."
With this assurance, there was no need to fear that Xie Wanying would be alone, advantaged with her skills but bullied by local jerks. Like any other profession, the medical field also has troublemakers. If someone continually speaks ill of you to the bosses, it can be enough to hinder your path to promotions or obtaining research projects.
Now Xie Wanying is just a student; once she starts working, the competitive consciousness of rivals will be even stronger.
"We need to prepare these things in advance for her," Shang Siling said as she refilled Sun Rongfang’s teacup, probably urging Sun Rongfang to make a decision soon.
If her daughter could work at one of the top three hospitals in the provincial capital, it would be considered an honorable return home. Sun Rongfang was greatly surprised and pleased that Xiao Shugang and his wife were willing to help her daughter with this favor. However, when she came to the Capital, she noticed that her daughter had a good relationship with the teachers here and seemed to be fond of these people.
A loving mother always wishes for things to align with her child’s wishes. Otherwise, Sun Rongfang wouldn’t be anxious to meet with Xiao Min and Teacher Zhuang before returning; these are the connections that genuinely could help her daughter stay in the Capital.
Xiao Shugang and Shang Siling weren’t forcing Xie Wanying back to the provincial capital; they just believed it was better to prepare for the worst ahead of time.
"Fangfang—"
