Chapter 241
Ping Xinyu carefully brought a spoonful of brain to her mouth.
Its tofu-like tenderness instantly filled her mouth.
Her eyes lit up.
Delicious!
The doctor witnessed firsthand just how terrifying a true foodie could be.
Out of an entire human head, he only managed to get two spoonfuls.
Ping Xinyu devoured the rest so quickly that she didn’t even leave herself time to talk.
Only when she saw the doctor add more broth to the hot pot did she remember that they’d been discussing something earlier.
“What were we talking about again?”
The doctor sighed and pressed the human head’s nose.
“What kinds of surgeries did you learn overseas?”
Ping Xinyu burped. “Most of them were heart-related. One of the more notable procedures was suturing a major cardiac artery.”
“Tell me more.”
“The patient was brought in after a car accident. By the time they reached the hospital, their vital signs were already extremely weak.”
The two ate hot pot while exchanging stories about their experiences.
When people of equal caliber sat down to talk, the sparks created by their clashing ideas were the most precious treasure of all.
Sitting off to the side, Zhang Bei watched them with a hint of envy in his eyes.
He wished he had someone whose ideas could spark against his own.
If they came up with enough ideas, they might even be able to double the number of attractions in the amusement park.
He turned and cast Chi Fu a disdainful look.
Chi Fu was one of Zhang Bei’s few friends, yet he couldn’t keep up with Zhang Bei’s train of thought at all.
Chi Fu was completely baffled.
What did I do?
What happened?
What’s with that disgusted look?
Zhang Bei sighed. “Eat!”
Chi Fu: ???
What the hell is wrong with you?
You’re the one who looked at me like that first!
You Bai took a bite of an eyeball and silently turned away.
Sure enough, the boss was acting up again!
Lunch passed amid noisy banter.
The doctor heard about many surgical techniques practiced overseas, and every one of them struck him as novel.
In turn, Ping Xinyu learned of many ideas from the doctor that she had never heard of before, each of which left her deep in thought.
She wiped her spice-reddened lips and gazed across the vast Amusement Park as a wild idea took shape in her mind.
Should I stay here and work as a doctor?
The moment the idea appeared, it became impossible to suppress.
This place had unimaginably delicious food, not to mention so many test subjects.
More importantly, there were two veteran professors here, one specializing in Chinese medicine and the other in Western medicine. They could answer her questions anytime she wanted.
There was simply no better place for her to improve her medical skills.
The doctor stood beside Ping Xinyu, burping as well.
“What’s wrong?”
Ping Xinyu looked toward the languid figure in the distance. “Is that Boss Zhang?”
“Yeah. Stay away from him. He’s no good.”
The instant he finished speaking, Ping Xinyu strode straight toward Zhang Bei.
“Boss Zhang?”
“The amusement park isn’t for sale, the Pass Card isn’t for sale, and you can’t beat me!”
His incredibly practiced response left Ping Xinyu momentarily stunned.
“No, I wanted to ask whether you’re still hiring doctors.”
“We are! We’ll take as many as we can get!”
Zhang Bei’s eyes lit up as he stared at the young woman before him.
The amusement park was still short on emergency doctors even now.
After all, most people spent nearly ten years studying medicine. How desperate would they have to be to come administer medicine at the Amusement Park?
“Do you think I’m qualified?”
With that, she handed him her phone.
Zhang Bei took it and carefully reviewed her résumé.
Her credentials were nothing short of spectacular, but someone of her caliber could only be considered ordinary at the Amusement Park.
After all, whether they were world champions or medical professors, which of them wasn’t already locked into a ten-year employment contract?
“Why did you come to the Amusement Park?”
Zhang Bei returned the phone to Ping Xinyu and asked the question that really mattered.
“Because you’re hiring?”
Zhang Bei paused. “Never mind. But if you work for me, the minimum contract term is ten years.”
Ping Xinyu immediately fell into thought.
She was twenty-five this year. Ten years from now, she would be thirty-five.
That might count as middle-aged, but in the medical field, she would still be considered very young.
“I accept!”
Ping Xinyu didn’t hesitate for long before agreeing.
She had thought it through. After training in a place like this for ten years, her medical skills were bound to improve tremendously.
Zhang Bei rubbed his chin. Who would have thought a new employee would simply fall into his lap on such an uneventful day?
“All right. When can you start?”
A smile instantly spread across Ping Xinyu’s face.
“It’ll take about a month to leave my current job. I’ll come as soon as I can!”
Zhang Bei waved a hand. “Go find Doctor Wang. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask him.”
“Okay!”
Zhang Bei watched Ping Xinyu leave, then turned around and dropped back into his lounge chair.
As the boss, was there anything wrong with slacking off?
Of course not!
Unfortunately, there were always certain dogs who simply couldn’t understand Zhang Bei’s deep-seated desire to do nothing.
Digua’s portly figure came barreling over from the distance.
“Woof!”
“What’s wrong?”
“Woof! Woof!”
“Where are you trying to take me?”
Digua grabbed Zhang Bei’s trouser leg in its teeth and began tugging him toward the back of the Amusement Park.
“Let go. I’ll follow you!”
Digua obediently released him and raced ahead.
Watching the rolls of fat jiggling as Digua ran, Zhang Bei let out a long sigh and hurried after it.
Before long, they arrived beneath a pine tree.
“Woof! Woof!”
“Meeeow!”
“Woof!”
“Meow!”
Zhang Bei looked up at the trembling orange kitten at the top of the tree.
“Don’t tell me the two of you can actually talk to each other even though you’re completely different species!”
Digua scratched the tree trunk twice with a paw, then looked pointedly at Zhang Bei.
Apparently, even a dog that had practically gained sentience still couldn’t climb trees. Otherwise, it would have handled such a trivial matter itself.
Zhang Bei rolled his shoulders, then swiftly climbed the tree.
The orange kitten tried to struggle, but Zhang Bei caught it in one hand.
It was tiny, only around three months old.
Judging by its filthy fur, it was clearly a stray someone had abandoned.
Holding the little orange kitten in one hand, Zhang Bei made his way back to the Amusement Park.
Professor Wei spotted him coming through the front gate. “Hey, Boss, where did you get that cat?”
Zhang Bei rubbed Digua’s head with his free hand. “Digua found it. I’ll take it for a wash first.”
Professor Wei took a closer look at the kitten.
“Are you planning to keep it?”
“I’ll leave it in the amusement park. It won’t starve.”
Professor Wei glanced at the plump Digua.
Well, then. It wasn’t hard to imagine the amusement park gaining another fat pet before long.
Zhang Bei washed the little orange kitten, carefully blow-dried its fur, then picked it up by the scruff of its neck.
A male, huh?
What should he name it?
After thinking for ages, Zhang Bei finally put his extraordinary naming talent to work.
“Since I rescued you from a pine tree at noon, I’ll call you Zhongwu!”
The little orange kitten stared blankly at Zhang Bei.
“Meow?”
“Looks like you’re pretty happy with it too. Then it’s settled!”
Once Zhongwu was all cleaned up, Zhang Bei dumped him into Digua’s care.
Since his peaceful afternoon had already been interrupted anyway, he went to the Monitoring Room and sat down to flesh out the rest of the script for 1999.
