Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Isn’t Attending Class a Waste of Time for You?

The consultation meeting was quite successful, and when it came time to choose the surgeon, Xu Qinghuan became a popular recommendation.

Shen Jiangli told Xu Qinghuan to return to school first. It was already past noon, and the first class in the afternoon had started. She hurriedly rushed back to school.

Shao Lizhong and Shen Jiangli met up and went to report to Huo Fuhai. Upon hearing the recommendation of Xu Qinghuan for the surgery, Huo Fuhai was taken aback, "Is this appropriate?"

Shao Lizhong truthfully explained, "Comrade Xu Qinghuan performed several surgeries before, all with very high precision. Although there are others with mature surgical experience, through our discussions, we realized that if the blood vessels near the heart suffer trauma and need emergency care using silver needles, Comrade Xu Qinghuan is the only qualified person."

Huo Fuhai raised his eyes, "You’re all aware of the patient’s identity, does she know?"

Shao Lizhong and Shen Jiangli lowered their heads.

Huo Fuhai asked again, "Do you think the patient will agree? Have you considered the consequences if the surgery fails?"

Shen Jiangli sighed, "But there truly isn’t anyone more suitable. To be cautious, we should consult Comrade Xu Qinghuan’s opinion."

Huo Fuhai said, "The patient doesn’t want his situation to be known by his daughter."

Shao Lizhong disagreed with this approach, "But, sooner or later it has to be disclosed, family members need to sign before entering the operating room."

Huo Fuhai said speechlessly, "He’s a military person."

Shao Lizhong patted his head, implying his mind was a bit muddled.

But, as Shao Lizhong pointed out, Xu Qinghuan was bound to find out sooner or later.

Xu Qinghuan actually had some suspicions. Every time she met her father, she would feel his pulse. She was quite aware of her father’s health, and she had long known that his heart might not be in good shape. She had tried to hint at it several times, but he never spoke about it.

If there’s a shrapnel that hasn’t been removed, it all makes sense.

Given the country’s current medical standards, even if the shrapnel hasn’t shifted, the surgery is still very risky.

She was pondering the treatment plan and unknowingly arrived at the classroom door. Inside, a woman in her thirties was teaching an English class.

The blackboard had some simple vocabulary written on it, and she was teaching pronunciation.

Xu Qinghuan called out "Report" during a break. Jiang Dongxue turned around and sized her up, "Are you the Xu Qinghuan who skipped my class without a reason?"

Though rude, the other person was a teacher, and she indeed hadn’t requested leave in time.

"Teacher, I’m very sorry. I took a leave this morning, thinking I could make it back, but the meeting took too long and delayed me." Xu Qinghuan spoke very sincerely.

If it were someone willing to let it go, hearing the word "meeting" would at least warrant a question or a post-class explanation, but Jiang Dongxue didn’t. She perceived Xu Qinghuan’s response as a provocation.

"Then just stand at the door. I’ll mark you as absent from this class!" Jiang Dongxue showed no leniency towards Xu Qinghuan.

Half of the classmates showed schadenfreude, while the other half sympathized.

Skipping class on the first day can only mean Xu Qinghuan is too arrogant. If not her, who else should be punished!

Xu Qinghuan had no complaints, there was indeed an issue on her part.

After the class ended, Xu Qinghuan was about to enter the classroom when Jiang Dongxue raised her chin and asked, "Did I say you could come in?"

Xu Qinghuan was taken aback.

"Did I say you could enter my classroom?"

Xu Qinghuan didn’t know how to respond.

"You’re quite capable, arranging things yourself without my permission. Since that’s the case, don’t come to any more of my classes."

It dawned on Xu Qinghuan that this teacher was targeting her.

But she didn’t know why.

"Teacher, I really had something to do this morning. I went to the Army General Hospital. I thought it would be done by noon, so I only took half a day off. I was late rushing back in the afternoon, that’s my fault. If I’ve offended you in any way, please correct me."

"Ha! Just because you went to the Army General Hospital, you think you’re justified in skipping my class without a word?"

"I came back in a hurry." Xu Qinghuan was getting a little heated. Can’t you understand human language!

Jiang Dongxue had spent seven years in rural reform, and time had transformed her from an urbane and elegant woman who had studied abroad into a middle-aged woman who resented anything beautiful.

She couldn’t stand the sight of someone like Xu Qinghuan, who was clearly well-cared for and pampered by life.

"You don’t need to explain so much to me. I’ve already said, you don’t need to attend my classes in the future."

Liu Xiaojun laughed from the side, "Teacher Jiang, Xu Qinghuan is this year’s top scorer in Hei Province’s college entrance exam. Maybe you should give her a chance!" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

This was clearly adding fuel to the fire, and it was exactly what Jiang Dongxue wanted to hear. She sneered, "No wonder, so she’s the top scorer. Then there’s even less need for her to attend my classes."

Xu Qinghuan gave the two of them a deep look, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Honestly, attending English class was a waste of time for her. Since this teacher refused to let her in the classroom, she could simply skip it.

The possibility of not getting a diploma due to scoring zero in English didn’t worry her at all.

Back when she obtained the advanced German translation certificate, Gong Mingjie faced a challenge - a very technical scientific journal needed translating. After she translated it, the Foreign Translation Bureau directly granted her an advanced translation certificate, only asking that she assist them when needed in the future.

This year’s college entrance exam had English as an optional subject because students didn’t have the opportunity to learn it. Schools had been closed for ten years, and even literacy was rare, let alone English.

However, to become a cutting-edge talent, a foreign language is an essential tool.

Universities, therefore, offered basic English courses, scheduled quite frequently, almost daily.

For several consecutive days, Xu Qinghuan truly didn’t attend any English classes. Jiang Dongxue was trembling with anger in class, "If someone doesn’t want a diploma, I’m not going to force it. Since you’re in university, you should cherish every subject.

Whether we want to admit it or not, the science and economy of EU countries are more advanced than ours. I saw this ten years ago over there. If we want to surpass others, we must first understand them. If we can’t even speak their language and don’t recognize their words, how can we understand them?"

Li Hu heard feedback from the class representative Liu Xiaojun that Xu Qinghuan had repeatedly missed English classes.

He decided to talk to Xu Qinghuan about it.

But he never found Xu Qinghuan, as she had been on leave for a whole week.

In Cen Zhongshu’s laboratory, Xu Qinghuan was helping him extract the main agent for adhesive manufacturing from Jiangzhu Star, "I’ve written down the extraction method and process. You can pass it to the pharmaceutical factory. Next week I need to go to the Army General Hospital, and tomorrow I simply have to attend classes, I can’t keep taking leave!"

"What’s so good about attending classes? I’ll speak to them. Starting tomorrow, you’ll work directly in my lab. I’ll help you graduate early," Cen Zhongshu said, "Isn’t attending classes a waste of time for you?"

Xu Qinghuan: "..."

Did she live another life just to die of overwork like in her previous life?

She also had two children.
