Chapter 1544 Dinner and breakup
"How can you be so calm?"
Chen Yue was a little angry. She had been struggling with this matter for several days, tossing and turning, suffering endlessly.
So seeing Zhou Chen's calm attitude was really hard for her to accept.
"It seems that you don't love me that much. If you loved me very much, you would definitely not have this attitude. No matter you want me to stay or choose to have a foreign relationship with me, you will not have this attitude."
"well."
Zhou Chen sighed. From Chen Yue's attitude and tone, he already knew what choice she would make.
But as she said, she had been struggling for so long. She felt that she had been fighting in her heart for a long time without making a decision, and his calm attitude made her feel dissatisfied.
He knew what Chen Yue wanted to see.
I want to see him reluctant and sad, even like she said, leaving everything here behind and going to England with her for love;
Even if you don't go with her, you should still show enough sadness and reluctance, so that she will feel better.
"I have you in my heart. You don't have to doubt this. The reason why I have this attitude is because I have been a doctor for so long and I am used to seeing separation between life and death. I can even face life and death calmly.
Why can’t we face love calmly?”
"Honestly speaking, what do you think my attitude is?"
Chen Yue suddenly choked up. To be honest, she didn't know what kind of attitude she wanted from Zhou Chen, but she knew that Zhou Chen's calm face was not what she expected.
"Since you won't give up the opportunity to study abroad for me, why can't I choose to stay in Dongjiang? Besides, you are just studying abroad, and it doesn't mean you won't come back. Falling in a foreign country is very difficult, but as long as the relationship is firm, there is no difficulty.
Can’t overcome it?”
In fact, he really doesn't mind at all that Chen Yue wants to study abroad. In the eyes of others, two or three years may be a long time, but to him, it has long been accustomed to it.
It's just that Chen Yue took the initiative and made the request, which was already showing her attitude, wanting him to follow her footsteps and focus on her academic career.
But this is obviously impossible. He has his own mission to do. He and Chen Yue have feelings, but they are far from enough to give up his mission for her.
Chen Yue retorted: "I can't accept long-distance relationships, let alone foreign relationships. A lot of things can happen and change in a few years. It's really hard for me to accept this uncertain future."
"So, if I don't want to go abroad with you and you don't want to stay for me, what choice will you make?"
"I don't know, what choice do you want me to make?"
After asking a rhetorical question, neither Zhou Chen nor Chen Yue spoke anymore. In fact, they both knew in their hearts that if neither of them compromised, there would only be one result.
Chen Yue held her head in pain: "I don't know, I don't want to choose."
I don’t know, I don’t want to choose. When I say these words, I have actually made a choice.
Zhou Chen didn't speak, nor was he angry. After living for so many years, he had already looked past many things. Not everyone's love is hysterical. In fact, most people's love is rational and weighs the pros and cons.
We are all adults. Career and love, no matter who you choose, it is just a choice. There is no right or wrong.
Frankly speaking, if Chen Yue chooses love, then he will definitely be as steadfast as her. If Chen Yue chooses her own career, he will not blame her, but will feel regretful.
"I need time to calm down and think about our relationship."
After saying this, Chen Yue picked up her bag and left Zhou Chen's house.
"Is that the end?"
Zhou Chen sighed softly, Chen Yue will not change, and neither will he, so the result is destined.
There is reluctance in my heart, but more importantly, I am relieved. The two people have different opinions and have their own opinions. Unless one party makes a compromise, it will be difficult to move on.
He has experienced a lot of time and had many women. He has made compromises, and his woman has also made compromises, so they can accommodate each other and stay together until old age.
But this time was different. If it was about other things, for the sake of the two of them, he would be willing to compromise and take a step back.
But going abroad with her would conflict with his own mission, so it was impossible for him to compromise on such a major matter.
…………
During lunch time, Zhou Chen met Zhao Yuliang who was humming a little tune at the elevator door.
"Hey, Director Zhao, you are in a good mood. Is the head nurse recovering well?"
Zhao Yuliang smiled and said: "Yes, she is recovering well and will be discharged from the hospital in about two days."
"That's really congratulations."
"Ha ha."
Although the intrauterine intervention was successful, although it could not completely cure the disease, Zhao Yuliang and his wife were in a much better mood at this time than before.
"This first step has gone smoothly, but no one can predict what will happen in the future. What if, I say just in case, if there are any problems in the future, you must help me then."
As a doctor, Zhao Yuliang knows very well that he cannot get carried away and can think about the good things, but he must also be mentally prepared.
Zhou Chen is the top cardiac surgeon at Dongli Heart Center in the country. He is a cardiac surgeon himself, but he also recognizes Zhou Chen and considers himself inferior.
In the future, if his child needs treatment or something, Zhou Chen will definitely be a very reliable expert.
Zhou Chen assured: "It's absolutely no problem, as long as Director Zhao and the head nurse say a word, I'll be on call."
"Justice."
Zhao Yuliang gave a thumbs up, and then said: "By the way, I'm going to invite you all to dinner on Saturday night, and you have to come too."
"Saturday night, okay, I understand. If there are no special circumstances then, I will definitely go to support you."
Zhou Chen knew that Zhao Yuliang was going to treat everyone to a farewell drink in advance.
When their children are born in the future, they are destined to spend a lot of money. Although the salaries of doctors and head nurses in tertiary hospitals are not low, it is still quite stressful to support a child with congenital heart disease.
The most critical thing is time. He works as a deputy chief physician at Dongli Hospital. His work is irregular and he often has to work night shifts. There is no fixed rest time, so it is difficult to spend time with his son.
Both of them are in their forties, and the elderly at home are even older. It is not easy to take care of a child with congenital heart disease, and we cannot count on the elderly.
Neither time nor money could satisfy him, so for the sake of his children, he had to find another way.
Zhou Chen can understand him very well. As a good man with a sense of family responsibility, he will naturally put his family first.
In a blink of an eye, it's Saturday.
Zhao Yuliang just called some doctors from the heart center who were relatively close to him. Except for those who had to be on duty and couldn't come due to something else, only ten people ended up attending the appointment.
The place where Zhao Yuliang treated the guests was the Pizza Hut not far from the hospital, so everyone arrived quickly.
"Why are you gathering everyone here?"
Zhao Yuliang explained with a smile: "First of all, it's close to the hospital, so it's convenient for everyone to go back and work overtime."
This statement immediately made everyone laugh.
"Director Zhao, I thought you were doing this to save money."
"Nonsense, how can I save money? The things here are also very expensive, okay? This table will cost a lot of money."
After a few words of ridicule, Zhao Yuliang continued: "Secondly, let's get some luck. We must win. In recent times, I would like to thank you all for your concern and help to me and the head nurse."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Tianming interrupted.
"What are you doing? Are you so unscrupulous? Are there any outsiders?"
"It's just, it's just too polite and too sensational."
"Okay, okay, then I won't be polite. I'll keep it to myself. Our heart center is a warm family. Come on, I respect you all."
"Come, let's drink together, cheers."
"Everyone must have fun eating and drinking. Don't be polite to me."
Everyone is an acquaintance. Except for Zhou Chen, Fang Xiaoran and Lin Yi, who came relatively late, the others have all stayed in Dongli Hospital for many years. They looked down without looking up. Everyone was familiar with each other, so they sat together to eat together.
There is no pretentiousness.
After everyone ate and drank, Zhao Yuliang spoke again.
"Everyone, eat first, and I will announce something to you. Well, I have accepted the invitation from Dongmuer Clinic and decided to switch jobs there."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone here stopped caring about eating and drinking. They all looked at Zhao Yuliang with a forced smile on his face. They were all surprised, and the table fell silent instantly.
"What's your reaction?"
"Old Zhao, Dongmu is a private pediatric clinic. You are a surgeon and you just left a tertiary hospital?"
