“Thank you, Teacher Wu, but I don’t really like coffee.” Ji Yuanyuan replied politely.
Wu Qiuyun nodded, “Cappuccino then. It seems that little girls nowadays like to drink this.”
Then, she raised her hand and called for the waiter to come over. She ordered an Americano for herself and a Cappuccino for Ji Yuanyuan.
“You didn’t recognize me?” After the waiter left, Wu Qiuyun suddenly asked.
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned by Wu Qiuyun’s question for a few seconds, “Uh… You’re Teacher Wu. I recognized you just now.”
“No, I mean, we’ve met before.” Wu Qiuyun said.
She suddenly made a very confusing gesture.
She wrapped a scarf from the side around her head a few times, covering her forehead and mouth, only revealing her eyes.
“Take a look again.” Wu Qiuyun’s mouth was wrapped in a scarf, and her voice was a little muffled.
Ji Yuanyuan was shocked by Wu Qiuyun’s actions. She even had some doubts. Was Teacher Wu’s brain circuit really normal?
She suppressed the emotions in her heart and tried her best to remain expressionless, “Teacher Wu, can you give me a hint? I don’t seem to have any impression.”
Wu Qiuyun sighed, “Young people like you really don’t have good attention spans. I recognized you the moment I saw you this morning.”
She paused for a moment before raising her head, “Then I’ll give you another hint. Tibet!”
Tibet?
Ji Yuanyuan looked into Wu Qiuyun’s eyes. Slowly, a face appeared in her mind.
The woman was wrapped tightly. She wore a hat on her head and a mask over her mouth, revealing only her eyes.
She carried a bag of medicine and slowly left the hospital.
“So it’s you?” Ji Yuanyuan murmured.
She was not very excited. After all, when she was in Tibet, she did not have a good impression of Wu Qiuyun.
“I’ve seen your resume. You’re very outstanding. If you’re interested, I can be your mentor.” Wu Qiuyun looked at Ji Yuanyuan and said.
Ji Yuanyuan’s expression was a little suspicious. She did not quite understand why Wu Qiuyun would personally come to find her.
“Teacher Wu, I want to know why you came to see me personally.” Ji Yuanyuan asked straightforwardly.
“When you were talking to Zhou Hua in the morning, I was actually beside you. After you left, I looked up your grades for the four years of university and found that you were really outstanding. I need an outstanding student who can accurately understand my instructions and respond.”
As Wu Qiuyun spoke, the waiter had already brought the coffee over.
She paused her speech and waited for the waiter to leave. She picked up the Americano in front of her and took a sip. After frowning slightly, she continued to speak.
“Also, I told you on the phone that I have a grudge against Zhou Hua. Do you know why I appeared in Tibet?”
Wu Qiuyun’s words jumped too much. One second, she was talking about Zhou Hua, and the next second, she jumped directly to Tibet.
Even Ji Yuanyuan was stunned when she heard that.
After a moment of shock, she asked tentatively, “Traveling?”
“No, I’m swamped. I don’t have time to travel.” Wu Qiuyun shook her head. “Due to the high altitude, thin air, and low oxygen content, congenital heart disease was widespread in Tibet. Even many children had this disease.”
Ji Yuanyuan blinked, and the way she looked at Wu Qiuyun gradually changed.
“The symptoms of congenital heart disease are not obvious in Tibet, so many families will not notice the abnormality of their children. Even if the child were not feeling well, they would not take the child to the hospital for a check-up. Therefore, once many children had an illness, it was already irreversible. Every year, I will use my annual leave to go to Tibet for a period of time to do volunteer medical treatment.”
“I remember that you work in the Cardiology Department of the First Hospital?” Ji Yuanyuan probed.
Besides being a B University teacher, Wu Qiuyun was also a doctor at the First Hospital.
“Yes, the Cardiology Department has the highest patient mortality rate in the hospital. Due to the shortage of heart donors, many patients could only wait for their own death.”
Wu Qiuyun paused for a moment and adjusted her sitting posture, “Let me ask you a question. If there’s a patient who’s in a very dangerous situation right now, there’s no other way to cure him other than changing his heart. And now, there was no matching heart in the donor bank. What else could he do other than wait for death?”
Looking at Wu Qiuyun’s serious face, Ji Yuanyuan suddenly thought of a phrase, “Artificial heart?”
Wu Qiuyun looked at Ji Yuanyuan with admiration, “Yes, if he is financially well-off, he can choose to fly abroad to transplant an artificial heart and then slowly wait for a suitable donor to appear. However, there was a problem. Could a person who could die at any time take a plane?”
Ji Yuanyuan listened quietly to Wu Qiuyun’s words with a somber expression.
“Yes, he is well-off. He can choose to have surgery in China and transplant an imported artificial heart. He can live, but how expensive is an imported artificial heart? Those who had no money would still have to wait for death. Moreover, if we can only rely on imported artificial hearts, others will forever control us.”
“You want to study how the human heart works? Create an artificial heart that belongs to our country?”
In her previous life, Ji Yuanyuan was not involved in the medical field, so she did not know if the domestic artificial heart had been successfully developed.
However, at this moment, she was extremely excited.
How many lives would be saved every year if they could successfully develop a domestic artificial heart?
“I’ve been researching it since a few years ago, but I’ve never been optimistic. Zhou Hua and I were partners, but he gave up. He chose a simpler and easier topic.” When Wu Qiuyun mentioned Zhou Hua, her eyes showed a faint sadness.
Ji Yuanyuan subconsciously felt the relationship between Wu Qiuyun and Zhou Hua might not be as simple as she said.
“Perhaps you don’t like me, but I admire you very much. You’re a very outstanding and down-to-earth student. If you’re willing, you’re welcome to join my team.” After Wu Qiuyun finished speaking, she picked up the scarf again.
She stood up and wrapped the scarf around her neck, “You can consider it. My phone is on 24/7.”
She took one last look at Ji Yuanyuan and turned to leave.
Ji Yuanyuan looked in the direction where Wu Qiuyun had left, and a surge of hot blood rushed to his head.
She stood up and looked at Wu Qiuyun’s back as she shouted, “Teacher Wu, I’m married!”
Wu Qiuyun turned around and looked at Ji Yuanyuan in confusion.
That expression seemed to be saying, “What does your marriage have to do with me?”
“I mean, I have plans to have children this year.”
Wu Qiuyun frowned with a disappointed expression..
