Chapter 860 I almost didn't make it back

Shen Lu: "..."

She never expected that her counselor would advise her to rest more and go out more.

Don't get obsessed with treating and saving lives all day long.

That's true. In the years to come, she will likely be treating and saving lives every day, so there's really no need to rush.

But there was nothing she could do.

Patients always line up to come to her door; she can refuse one, but not a whole group.

Mr. Li's grandson is still waiting for her and Director Li to perform surgery.

"Teacher, I know, I will get some rest."

Shen Lu did not give the counselor a perfunctory response.

She genuinely intends to stop contacting new patients in the near future, aside from those she already has.

Qin Yue has had a hard time seeing Shen Lu lately, let alone anyone else.

Because she had to live on campus during her first year, Shen Lu would occasionally go back to the dormitory to stay, otherwise her roommates would see her even less.

The dorm had just had a get-together, and there's nothing much going on in the short term. Shen Lu going back means she's gone out to broaden her horizons with a senior doctor.

That's why I haven't been to school for several days.

This was the reason the school came up with for Ye Sheng.

When the group saw her, they asked her if it was fun to go with them to broaden her horizons.

"LuLu, wouldn't you say your resume is already full when you're only a freshman?"

Xue Tian was a little envious.

She was also in medical school, studying pharmacy, but she longed to go out and broaden her horizons.

Shen Lu shared the fruit she had bought with everyone before finally speaking to satisfy their curiosity: "This trip was quite thrilling."

"I almost didn't make it back."

"Don't envy me, just go at your own pace."

"Sweetie, you should master the basics first, then you'll have plenty of internship opportunities later."

As for Gao Ming and Zhang Zimo, she doesn't need to say anything.

The former also has a wealth of practical experience, even if it has little to do with their major.

As for the latter, Zhang Zimo didn't need any of those.

She wants to do an internship, and her family can arrange it.

What's more, she still has Cheng Ran now.

Therefore, Zhang Zimo felt no pressure at all.

Xue Tian is definitely not as hardworking as Gao Ming, nor is she as well-off as Zhang Zimo, which is why she is so conflicted.

“I know I can’t rush it. My mom also told me not to overwork myself in college and to balance work and rest.”

Why did Xue Tian's mother say that? It's because her daughter worked so hard for the college entrance exam.

Having finally been admitted to one of the nation's top universities, why can't you take a break?

Why push yourself so hard?

But Xue Tian knew that if she really slacked off in college, she would face a difficult struggle to survive in society.

Don't think that getting into the best university means you can rest easy; she's surrounded by top students!

Especially Shen Lu, she's so outstanding yet so stubborn, how are the others supposed to survive?

"Your mother is right. You need to relax and have a good balance in college. Did your mother also suggest that you start dating?"

Shen Lu thought Xue's mother was a very interesting person.

Xue Tian choked: "Yes, my mom said if you don't date in college, it will be difficult to find a relationship after you start working."

When discussing marriage, it's not just about feelings, but also about money.

“My mom wants me to find someone. She said my cousin is thirty years old and still going on blind dates because she didn’t catch a good guy when she was in school.”

Shen Lu felt that what Xue's mother said made sense.

"Look, I have a fiancé. He's very outstanding. And Miss is also engaged to Senior Cheng Ran."

"If you want to choose the best ones, you should definitely act early."

"Otherwise, you'll be eyeing someone else's meat."

Shen Lu's statement was agreed upon by Zhang Zimo.

"I think Cheng Ran is the kind of eligible bachelor that many women would choose."

"But it's no use if they like him now, isn't he already mine?"

The young lady had a slightly smug expression on her face when she said this.

It's clear that she and Cheng Ran are getting along very well lately.

The apartment across from the school was decorated using designs drawn by Zhang Zimo herself.

The young lady is quite capable; her designs and drawings are excellent.

At least, it suits her own taste.

“I told you before that if you liked Yanxi, you should go after him, but you don’t like him anymore.”

"How about next time, I organize a get-together and introduce you to some handsome guys?" There are quite a few handsome guys in Zhang Ziming's circle.

If it were before, Xue Tian would definitely have been interested.

But all she wanted to say right now was, "Forget it, if they're all like Yanxi, I can't handle them."

Xue Tian was well aware of the principle that being of equal stature was not a good match.

As for Gao Ming, all she cares about is making money and studying; she has no interest in men at all.

She doesn't even participate in discussions about topics like this.

Xue Tian ate the fruit Shen Lu had given her while still reading.

She is really hardworking.

While others were chatting, going out, shopping, or playing games, Gao Ming was working hard.

The girls had already discussed it and decided to invest in Gao Ming.

Gao Ming later decided to open a housekeeping company.

She is now not only accumulating initial capital, but also gaining a deeper understanding of the industry.

There is still a long way to go before someone can go from being a rule-follower to being a rule-maker.

On the other hand, Gao Ming still frequently receives calls from her parents, hoping that she can send money home.

The last time, he even threatened her, saying that if Gao Ming didn't send money back, he would come to the school to cause trouble.

Gao Ming's younger sister secretly called him and said that her parents planned to get her engaged when she returned home and use the dowry money to buy a house in town.

It's obvious that this house is for Gao Ming's younger brother to use when he gets married.

Several girls had already given Gao Ming some advice: she should call home and complain every time, write home and complain, and even deliberately send letters to the wrong people.

Everyone in the village now knows what kind of people Gao's parents are.

But they've given up and are no longer willing to pretend.

Moreover, the village was isolated and had a strong tradition of valuing sons over daughters.

Many people also feel that Gao Ming is inconsiderate of his parents.

As for Gao Ming asking his parents for money, he said he had caused trouble in Beijing and needed to compensate his roommates with over 100,000 yuan.

Her parents also scolded her and told her not to expect that her family would pay off her debts.

The money in the house belongs to her younger brother, so she doesn't need to worry about a single penny.

Her family even tried to trick Gao Ming into going back home so they wouldn't let her attend university.

In this way, they can both earn money from the betrothal gifts and help Gao Ming get rid of his debts. Isn't that a good thing?

This was all whispered between Gao Ming's younger sister and her older sister; she overheard her parents discussing it late at night.

With parents like that, Miss Zhang wished she could sever ties with Gao Ming's parents on his behalf.

“Mingming, it’s not a solution for your parents to keep harassing you and thinking about selling you for money.”

"They'll find their way to the capital sooner or later."

Zhang Ziming made a throat-slitting gesture: "Do you want me to help you?"

Gao Ming chuckled: "Murder is against the law."

Zhang Zimo: "...There are plenty of ways in this world that don't break the law, why would I kill someone?"

"Since your parents love money so much, we can send them to make money!"
