Chapter 1077: Chapter 1059: Forcing the Duck onto the Shelf Chapter 1077: Chapter 1059: Forcing the Duck onto the Shelf Gu Ning took Tang Yuxin over and also got her a blanket.
As long as there was a blanket to cover them, they didn’t care if it had been used by someone else.
They might have to stay here for most of the day, not returning home until tomorrow.
Gu Ning sat down, and Tang Yuxin rested her head on his lap, quickly falling asleep.
As she drifted in and out of sleep, she thought she heard her name.
“What’s the matter?” she abruptly sat up, “Why would someone be calling my name?”
Gu Ning patted her hair down, his expression quite peculiar.
And the hospital’s broadcast was still calling out.
“Tang Yuxin, Doctor Tang, someone asked if you are in the hospital.
If you are, please go immediately to the dean’s office.”
The announcement was being repeated periodically; ignoring it was impossible.
It was one thing to disregard it once, but to hear it repeated over and over made Tang Yuxin cover her face in distress.
How do they know I’m here?

Right now, Tang Yuxin just wanted to go home.
She didn’t want to stop anywhere else, let alone hear her name called, but it seemed she had no choice in the matter.
“Let’s go, we can’t escape this,” said Gu Ning as he stood up, folding the blanket meticulously before leaving it there, in case they needed it later.
No matter how they found out Yuxin was there, now that her presence was known and her name had been called, she had to go.
Only by going could she find out what this was all about.
Tang Yuxin also stood up, straightening her clothes.
Yes, whatever the case, she had to go first.
As for where the dean’s office was, she didn’t know yet, but she could easily find out by asking someone.
“Doctor Tang, you’re Doctor Tang,” said the dean as soon as he saw Tang Yuxin, promptly standing up and offering his hand for a handshake.
“I’ve long admired you.
I’ve only seen you on TV and in the newspapers, always regretting not being able to meet you.
Who could have thought we’d meet under such circumstances?
Truly, fate plays tricks on us.”
The dean was all smiles, showing more teeth than eyes, and the whole demeanor seemed far more agreeable than old Dean Zhu Bapi.
“Do you need me for something?”
Tang Yuxin really didn’t understand why these people were looking for her.
“Please, have a seat, have a seat,” urged the dean as he hurried to get Tang Yuxin seated and personally poured water for them.
Despite being a little disheveled and not in the best of spirits due to the recent influx of patients, the dean still maintained the composure befitting the head of the hospital.
“Doctor Tang, as you have seen…” said the dean, getting straight to the point without beating around the bush.
“Right now, our hospital is facing a shortage of medical staff.
In particular, we have several cases of cerebral hemorrhage, as well as patients with internal injuries.
Our doctors haven’t had a break in several days, yet these patients still can’t receive the care they need.”
But the inability to provide the best treatment wasn’t just because the hospital staff was stretched too thin; it was also due to the long duration required for such major surgeries.
There were only a few doctors in their hospital capable of performing these complex operations, and a single surgery could take upwards of ten hours.
After having worked day and night for several days, many doctors were now ill from exhaustion.
The lives of these patients were in extreme jeopardy, yet they found themselves powerless.
If it hadn’t been for Dean Zhu from the main hospital informing him that Tang Yuxin was right here, he wouldn’t have even considered that Tang Yuxin, who comfortably held the top position at the main hospital, would just happen to be in Yun City, and in their very hospital, no less.
But with the current chaos at the hospital, where there were too many patients and their families, he had no idea where Tang Yuxin could be.
It was possible she had already left.
He only wanted to try his luck, which was why he had announced the broadcast throughout the hospital.
If Tang Yuxin were still inside, then she would definitely hear it.
And his fears were unfounded; thankfully, she was still here and had come over.
With her arrival, the many patients now had hope.
“You want me to be your hospital’s chief surgeon?”
Tang Yuxin had considered many possibilities.
The most she expected was to be asked to stay a few days as an emergency doctor, considering the number of trauma patients still present.
But she hadn’t anticipated that the dean would audaciously suggest she take on the role of chief surgeon.
Chief surgeons of a hospital are predetermined, and it’s unheard of for an external doctor to waltz in and be offered such a position, especially since this was her first meeting with the dean.
How could he entrust her with a group of critically ill patients?
“Yes, that’s exactly it,” the dean said, rubbing his hands together anxiously.
“Dr.
Tang, could you arrange for surgery soon?
We have several patients whose conditions are very severe, and we can’t afford any delay.”
Tang Yuxin placed a hand on her forehead.
Was this like sending ducks to the perch?
“Alright,” Gu Ning stood up, taking out Tang Yuxin’s phone, “I’ll inform Dad that we’ll be going back a few days late.”
What else could Tang Yuxin say?
It seemed that, apart from agreeing, she had no other choice.
This was not just about sending ducks to the perch; it was more like being driven onto Liangshan.
Of course, the dean didn’t waste a single minute.
He quickly made arrangements for the upcoming surgery.
Now he could finally address some urgent issues, and the lives of the patients were assured.
Gu Ning took the phone to a quieter area and then dialed Tang Zhinian’s number, briefly informing him about the situation.
“Yes,” Tang Zhinian nodded, “Let Yuxin stay there; don’t come back yet.
Human life is of utmost importance.”
Although Tang Zhinian also wanted his daughter to come home—feeling at ease only when they would be back under his watchful eye—he was not insensitive to the urgency of the situation.
Human lives were at stake, and saving people came first.
Besides, as a doctor, it was Tang Yuxin’s duty to treat and save patients.
If not in a hospital saving lives, what kind of doctor would she be?
“Dad, Dad…”
Tang Xincheng called out and ran over, tugging at Tang Zhinian’s sleeve, urgently trying to pull him inside.
“What’s the matter?” Tang Zhinian asked his son in puzzlement, wondering why he was tugging at his sleeve.
“Dad, sister, my sister…”
Tang Xincheng, out of breath, managed to say, pulling Tang Zhinian along with him.
Tang Zhinian was still confused; wasn’t his sister still in Yun City?
On the large TV outside, Xiaobai sat obediently on the sofa, staring intently at the screen.
The two little cherubic faces were bright and flushed—clear indications of clever, healthy children.
