I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 279 - 123: Class Reunion (Part 2)
Moreover, with Lu Xuan's connection, Elder Zhang would also take more care of him in the future.
Sure enough, upon hearing that Gu Huahua and Lu Xuan were classmates, Zhang Jingcai couldn't help but gape in astonishment.
People really have different fates!
No wonder Gu Huahua's expression was so strange just now. Now he understands.
If it were him, he'd probably have the same expression!
After all, a former classmate now standing at the pinnacle, who wouldn't be bewildered?
At this moment, Zhang Jingcai could only offer words of comfort: "Study hard, sometimes talent is really mysterious."
"Mm."
Gu Huahua nodded heavily, but inside he was anxious as hell, eager to grab his phone and spread this explosive news to all his classmates.
He couldn't be the only one having his jaw dropped; others should too.
He hoped everyone could experience the bizarre atmosphere.
…
When Lu Xuan returned to his Room 249, Moon Lake Park saw a gathering of former classmates.
This reunion was first suggested by Cai Huanjin, and being the class monitor, he naturally arrived first at Moon Lake Park, found a teahouse, ordered a few pots of tea, and quietly waited for others while looking out at Moon Lake Park.
He also booked a place for dinner tonight.
It's not overly fancy, but not cheap either, with an average cost of nearly a hundred per person.
Of course, this isn't something he's paying for alone; it's split amongst everyone.
It's only been more than half a year since everyone started working, and after deducting rent, there's barely anything left at the end of the month. A gathering like this, including drinks, would cost at least two to three thousand in total, which is quite a bit for one person to handle.
Compared to other classmates, Cai Huanjin was doing quite well in the hospital after graduation. His family had some connections, getting him into the District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital as an assistant to a deputy chief traditional Chinese medicine doctor, which drew the envy of many classmates.
Today, Cai Huanjin was dressed quite casually, but everything was branded clothing, and even though it was summer attire, it must have cost seven to eight hundred.
His slick appearance made it obvious he wasn't from an average family, and that they were well-off.
It didn't take long for most people to arrive.
After Cai Huanjin called the waiter to pour tea for everyone, he raised his cup in the air, displaying a host-like demeanor: "Everyone, it's been more than half a year since we graduated, we've gone our separate ways, some stayed in Lingshui, some returned to their hometowns for development, while many came to Yong City.
Honestly, I'm honored to have been classmates with you all. This is our first reunion since graduation, and since it's not quite night yet, we'll take a walk around Moon Lake Park later. For now, let's raise a cup, I use tea to substitute wine, cheering for today's gathering.
Even as the green hills remain, though we grow older, the bond between classmates remains strong; as the years increase, the streams flow long, the sentiments stay deep.
Appreciate every friendship by your side, regardless of whether it has passed, or whether it will have a future.
Perhaps it won't last forever, maybe it will fade, it might become distant, but it should never be forgotten.
It is a seed; if cherished, it will sprout, leaf, bloom, and bear fruit in our hearts.
And the fragrance of that bloom will accompany each one of us seated here through our lifetime. I finish this cup in reverence."
Cai Huanjin lifted his tea and drank the tea that had cooled to room temperature in one go.
Clearly, since graduation, Cai Huanjin had become more adept in the area of social relations.
However, everyone was quite used to it; back in school, Cai Huanjin was like the social butterfly, organizing every class activity, and when it came to networking, not many could outshine this class monitor.
Indeed, during school days, Cai Huanjin was also well-liked by mentors.
Getting into Yong City's District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital was not solely due to his family connections, his own abilities mattered too; after all, not many could be on such familiar terms with mentors.
If Cai Huanjin hadn't wanted to come to Yong City, with a mentor's help, getting into the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine wasn't out of the question.
In just a few words, he could draw everyone's attention; that's a skill.
For a moment, the teahouse was filled with thunderous applause, cheering for Cai Huanjin.
"Class monitor, in these over six months, while we've just been treading water, only you and Gu Huahua have been really doing well. We're just green with envy."
"Exactly, compared to you and Gu Huahua, the rest of us are just stuck."
"Don't even mention it, talking about it brings tears! At least you guys are still assistants. I'm still stuck in the herbal pharmacy; I haven't even touched a patient's pulse, let alone seen one in person. If anyone should be envious, it's me."
"Brother Li, that's... quite unfortunate. But I'm in the herbal pharmacy too."
The two unfortunate ones seemed to find their other half in life and sat together, tending to their bloodied wounds.
"Class monitor, I've heard you're quite valued at the District Hospital. They let you try your hand every other day. Even though I'm with a chief traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I've only had one chance to practice; it's not even useful for gaining experience, better off reading books on my own." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"The class monitor was always excellent, plus his networking skills. It's no surprise he made it this far. But Gu Huahua, going to United South Chinese Medicine Association, that was unexpected. Though Gu Huahua isn't here today, otherwise, I'd definitely ask for some tips to become elder Zhang's assistant there!"
Mentioning Gu Huahua, Cai Huanjin folded his hands to everyone and said with emotion, "No need to envy me; feel free to envy Gu Huahua. That guy really struck it lucky. But of course, he's capable, otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to United South Chinese Medicine Association as elder Zhang's assistant.
The person I assist has some skill, tries my hand here and there, but comparing to elder Zhang, they still fall short.
To be honest, I'm quite envious of Gu Huahua. But I have good news for everyone: Gu Huahua will attend today, even if he misses dinner, he'll be there for the KTV session. If you have questions, ask him directly then."
"Really?"
"Would I lie to you?"
"That's great, we hope that classmate Gu Huahua learns some real skills from elder Zhang. If he can share with us, his classmates, it'd be amazing, even if we just catch the scent of the meat he's eating."
"In the short term, that might be tough; Gu Huahua isn't as bold as the class monitor with networking. It might take two to three months for him to get comfortable over there."
"Seems like it, not everybody has the class monitor's social skills."
"Lu Xuan didn't come?"
While everyone was chatting about Gu Huahua, Mi Nannan, who had been quietly sipping her tea, suddenly asked.
Everyone was taken aback at the mention of Lu Xuan, and their eyes fell on her, unable to avert their gaze for a moment.
As the class beauty, Mi Nannan had always been stunning, and since graduation, her wardrobe had become even more stylish than during school.
Today, Mi Nannan was wearing a light coffee-colored dress, with an ivory Indian silk scarf around her open neckline, adorned with a large ruby brooch, fully displaying her elegant figure.
Many were, as if fixated, after casting their eyes on her.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Mi Nannan instinctively tucked her hair behind her ear, oozing with charm, making their eyes almost glued to her.
Even Cai Huanjin couldn't help but praise, "Classmate Mi Nannan, you've become even more beautiful since graduating. If this flower doesn't have an owner yet, shouldn't it be kept within the circle? We have plenty of eligible bachelors here."
Hearing Cai Huanjin, many got visibly excited.
If they could win over someone as beautiful as Mi Nannan, it would surely be something to brag about!
For a brief moment, everyone was excited, completely forgetting about Mi Nannan's inquiry about Lu Xuan.
