Life With You

Song Xi thought for a long time before dialing Pan Houxun's phone number. After the phone rang a few times, the call was answered. She took the initiative and said, Vice Dean, I'm Song Xi.

Pan Houxun immediately responded: It's Xiao Song.

Song Xi said: I just saw your missed call. I'm sorry to reply to you now. I was too tired after working the night shift before, so I went to bed straight away when I got home.

Pan Houxun's attitude was unexpectedly kind, and he was not as anxious as Han Chunmeng or Ding Huiqin. He even took the time to care about Song Xi's adaptability after being transferred to the night shift. Song Xi chatted with him in an official tone, and Pan Houxun took the initiative to change the subject. to the events of the day.

Song Xi listened to his roundabout talk for a long time. When he finished, she calmly replied: Vice Dean, to be honest with you, I will not apologize to Jiang Jiayi.

Pan Houxun naturally did not expect Song Xi to be so resolute. He paused obviously and then said: Xiao Song, young people have some tempers. We can understand this, but you still have to put the overall situation first.

Song Xi replied without changing her expression: We have to put the overall situation first, but I can't sacrifice my self-esteem for the overall situation. It's impossible for me to apologize to her.

Song Xi is not the kind of person who hesitates. He says one thing and two things, lest the other party mistakenly think that there is room for maneuver in this matter.

Seeing her decisiveness, Pan Houxun was really stumped. After a moment of silence, he said: Xiao Song, to be honest, you are also someone who has made great contributions to our hospital. Both the director and I feel that you are our We are a rare talent in the hospital. We will not trouble you unless necessary... In fact, this matter is difficult to say and simple to say. If you really don’t want to apologize to the secretary of the Director of Health, you can Mr. Qiao from Haiwei will tell you, as long as he opens his mouth, I think the health bureau will never make things difficult again.

In this world, unexpected things happen every minute. Just like at this moment, Song Xi never dreamed that Pan Houxun would ask her to find George Sheng so straightforwardly.

For a moment, Song Xi was confused. Of course she didn't think she heard it wrong, but she just felt that this world was really ridiculous.

It's so ridiculous that it makes you mad.

Holding the phone, Song Xi said expressionlessly: Vice dean, I told the dean the same thing, my relationship with George Sheng is not the kind of relationship you imagined. I am not his, and he has no obligation. Help me with something.

Maybe there was obvious anger in Song Xi's voice, and Pan Houxun also noticed that he had made a mistake. Even if it was true, how could Song Xi admit it easily?

He quickly changed his words and said, You misunderstood Xiao Song. I don't have any other ideas. I just think that you and Qiao have always been friends. It shouldn't be difficult for friends to talk to each other.

Song Xi replied with a cold face: We are not friends.

What are friends?

Her friends were Han Chunmeng and Gu Dongxu. They would never sneer at her, never point the tip of a knife at her, and poke holes in her heart if she wasn't careful.

Song Xi's most sensitive nerve was finally touched. Now she seemed calm, but in fact, she was like a cat with exploded fur.

Pan Houxun saw Song Xi and George Sheng together more than once. Although George Sheng was against Song Xi...he did spend tens of millions. Even if the Qiao family was rich, the money did not come from the strong wind, and Every time Song Xi goes to do something related to Haiwei, he can only use four words to describe it: success is immediate.

So Pan Houxun took it for granted that they had that kind of relationship, but Song Xi's attitude at the moment didn't seem like he was pretending, but rather like he was really eager to get away with it.

Pan Houxun was also at a loss for a while. He was not only afraid of offending Song Xi and indirectly offending George Sheng, but also afraid that he would not be able to handle the matter well and would not be able to communicate with the dean when he returned. He was in a dilemma.

But I have to say that Jiang is still very old. Pan Houxun can sit in the position he is in today. He must have professional strength, but his EQ and IQ should not be underestimated. He can change the subject in just a few seconds. He said as follows: Xiao Song, if I said something wrong in a moment of urgency and made you feel uncomfortable, then I apologize to you. I am just worried. It doesn't matter if the Health Bureau makes it difficult for the hospital, or even the director. But now they are stuck in a new project that is outside your heart.

How many of your doctors have invested your efforts in that project? No one knows better than you. After the key project is launched, how many people will benefit? How many people can be helped? This is the most important thing. If it is because of some attempts to incriminate, As a result, new projects have been temporarily blocked. I think the most sad thing besides the patients is us doctors.

Pan Houxun's undergraduate degree shouldn't be about cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but psychology. Otherwise, how could he be so good at understanding a person's psychology?

Who is Song Xi? She has a hard mouth and a soft heart. If someone confronts her head-on, she will be like an egg and she will make a noise. But if the other person is soft-spoken and pokes her heart, she will definitely not be able to bear it.

Yes, because of her personal reasons, the entire project was blocked. How could she feel embarrassed?

Both of them were holding mobile phones, and no one spoke for a while. After a long time, Song Xi finally spoke. She said softly: It was my fault. I didn't think carefully before doing things.

Pan Houxun heard that her tone obviously softened and said quickly: I don't blame you, everyone knows what kind of person you are. If we want to blame, we can only blame the hospital, which is under the control of the Health Bureau. Our three inches are being pinched, and there is nothing we can do about it. .”

Song Xi lowered his gaze and said softly: Give me some time, I will think of a solution.

Pan Houxun said: Okay, don't be too anxious. If you need support from the hospital, please feel free to tell me.

Song Xi responded, Pan Houxun gave some more instructions, and finally hung up the phone. Song Xi sat blankly on the edge of the bed, the bedside lamp shining on her fair face turned yellow, as if coated with a layer of honey-colored syrup.

Song Xi stared at a certain place without blinking. She didn't know whether it was because she hadn't blinked for too long or because she felt too aggrieved. Seeing her eyes becoming moist, her hands on the bedside clenched into fists inch by inch.

She thought about Song Yuanqing again. Would the child be more easily bullied without her father around?

Raising her hands to wipe away the tears on her face, Song Xi's vision immediately blurred again. The moment Pan Houxun asked her to find George Sheng for help, her first reaction was that Pan Houxun bullied her without the support of her father, but how could George Sheng be praised? Do you deserve to be called a friend?

She had almost no idea why she was sad, because of Song Yuanqing? Or George Sheng?

Maybe both.

Song Xi was sad for a moment and shed a few tears, but soon she straightened her back, took a deep breath, and forced herself to hold back her tears.

She had to go to work at night, so she couldn't cry.

I don't know since when, Song Xi got used to suppressing all her grievances in her heart. Unless she couldn't help it, she would hide and cry for a while, but it was only for a while, and she didn't even have the chance to indulge for a long time.

The harder life gets, the more restraint you need.
