He pinched the space between his eyebrows and felt a little tired.
He turned on his phone and found a video to relieve his fatigue.
It was the video of the song Jiang Yu and Jiang Xingyi had sung together.
The girl in the orange sweater on screen had a pleasant voice. It looked like all the lights on stage were focused only on her.
Jiang Jingnian automatically ignored Jiang Xingyi, who was standing right next to her.
He thought, ‘it seems that I haven’t seen Jiang Yu for a while?’
Hmm…
What reason should I use to look for her?
She got first place in the five-subject examination… Should I go and congratulate her?
As he was thinking, the video on his phone was cut off as a call came in.
It was a call from an overseas number.
Jiang Jingnian picked up the phone. On the other end, David asked curtly, “Alex, when will you be back?”
Jiang Jingnian ignored his question, “Have there been any high-profile cases recently?”
“Not really,” David answered, “I’m not used to it without you here.”
Jiang Jingnian said, “David, everybody has to learn to grow up eventually.”
David: “…”
Thinking of the fact that Jiang Jingnian had gone to another country and was reluctant to come back, David wondered, “What’s so attractive about China? Is it because it’s your hometown? So now you want to stay in your hometown and don’t want to come back?”
Jiang Jingnian didn’t deny it. “Maybe.”
David became even more resentful. “Don’t leave me, Alex…”
“Okay, don’t talk like I’m your girlfriend,” Jiang Jingnian interrupted. “You didn’t call me to talk about this, did you?”
“Alright, let’s get down to business then. I do have something else to talk to you about.”
When it came to business, David’s tone became serious, “Didn’t you successfully invite that medical genius to join our research institute? We’ve already sorted out the papers on her successful heart surgery case and have published them. Not long after, someone came looking for her.
“It’s someone from your country.”
Jiang Jingnian asked, “So you came looking for me?”
“No, to be exact, he came looking for that little genius, and you.”
David continued, “Every country knows that you’re stationed in China now. It’d be complicated for them to come headquarters to look for you, but now that you’re in the China office, it’s much easier for them to go there and look for you. If the other party knows that you’re in China, they’ll definitely want you to help.
“Moreover, that young genius’s precise grasp of heart surgery can indeed increase the success rate of this surgery. After all, the case he presented us with isn’t simple. It’s brain surgery.”
“Brain surgery?”
“Yes, I’ve sent the case to your email.”
Jiang Jingnian looked at his computer screen and saw that he had received a new email. After he had opened it and saw the patient’s information, he suddenly chuckled with a hint of mockery.
David sensed it. “Is there something wrong?”
Jiang Jingnian refused, “I’m not taking this surgery.”
“Why?”
“It’s a personal grudge. I’m not taking it.”
David said in surprise, “You actually have a personal grudge with someone. That’s really amazing… Didn’t you say that you don’t hold grudges against anyone?”
Although David knew that this was just a front.
After spending so much time with Jiang Jingnian, he already knew that this person’s smile was warm but his heart was cold.
He was equally kind to everyone.
But this meant that everyone was the same in his heart and couldn’t him anyway. He didn’t care for anyone at all.
Because they didn’t matter, there was no difference.
