University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 460 - 377: Do All Drivers Get One Week of Paid Leave?

"Old He!"

Chen Mu even thought about it.

One day.

Secretary Lu couldn’t withstand the pressure and directly collapsed, sent to the hospital.

Chen Mu had never imagined.

The one who would collapse was Driver He.

At Hai City University.

Besides Zheng Xin, who worked with him in the early days.

Chen Mu was most familiar with Driver He; whenever there were fragile college students, it was always the two of them who rescued them together.

But now his old partner suddenly collapsed.

It left Chen Mu a bit at a loss.

Was it because he had joked too much a moment ago and really provoked Old He?

Even though Chen Mu’s mind was blank.

But after all these years as a doctor, muscle memory led Chen Mu to instinctively reach out and feel Driver He’s pulse.

A few seconds later.

Following behind Chen Mu, Mu Yao, who also seemed a bit anxious, noticed that Chen Mu’s expression was easing.

Mu Yao raised an eyebrow, inexplicably letting out a sigh of relief.

Mu Yao: "Dr. Chen, how is it? Is there no big problem with Driver He?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "It’s not serious."

"The work intensity is a bit high, overworked, coupled with the heat, heatstroke, and excessive emotional fluctuation."

"Support him inside, let him lie down for a while, and he will be fine."

As Chen Mu spoke.

With Mu Yao’s help, he steadily moved Driver He into the car.

Took out a Silver Needle.

Stimulated Driver He’s acupoint, and in less than half a minute, Driver He woke up.

Seeing Chen Mu.

Driver He’s face was somewhat pale; obviously, the sudden fainting a moment ago not only gave Chen Mu a certain startle.

It was also quite a fright for Driver He himself.

Driver He squeezed Chen Mu’s hand.

Refused to let go, "Old Chen, tell me the truth, is there any hope for my illness?"

It’s no wonder Driver He easily fell into despair.

Mainly because.

Since working at Hai City University, Driver He has seen many sudden illness patients who were eventually sent to the hospital’s intensive care unit.

Not to mention.

Compared to this group of fragile college students, he is older.

When he gets sick.

The probability of recovery is smaller.

"Pfft!"

Looking at Driver He’s downcast appearance, Chen Mu felt a little awkward seeing an old acquaintance acting pitiful.

Couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Upon hearing Chen Mu’s laughter, Driver He felt a chill run down his spine.

Suddenly lifted his head.

Looked somewhat flustered at Chen Mu, his eyes full of disbelief, "Dr. Chen! No matter what, we’ve been old partners for many years, right?!"

"This old partner of yours just blacked out and fainted; you can still laugh. Do you have no humanity at all?!"

—

"Dr. Chen can still laugh because Driver He’s illness isn’t that severe, right?"

"We know, and Dr. Chen knows, but Driver He himself doesn’t know."

"Saying it like this, I’m starting to feel some pity for Driver He."

"Honestly, when people think they have a serious illness, they are usually very vulnerable."

"Considering, Driver He’s trips recently have far exceeded the usual workload."

"Mainly, driving an ambulance is different from driving other cars; one’s spirit is really always in a highly tense state, which is very draining."

"That’s true. Sometimes, the speed of the ambulance reaching the hospital indirectly determines whether the patient can survive or not. Driving such a car is not an exaggeration to say it’s a race against death; it’s normal for Driver He to be under considerable mental stress."

"Will you continue driving next? If you continue working, you might not be able to relieve the stress."

"Hai City University has only one driver; if Driver He takes a break, Hai City University won’t have its own driver anymore."

"Exactly, and what employee needs a break? Just buy yourself a coffee and keep enduring!"

"Reading your comments, I just feel today’s iced Americano is especially bitter."

"..."

—

Chen Mu’s hand lightly patted Driver He’s shoulder.

Just to soothe his old buddy’s emotions.

Facing Driver He’s still somewhat agitated appearance, Chen Mu laughed and said, "I guarantee with my career that you’ve only overworked and been overly startled."

Saying this.

Chen Mu showed Driver He the WeChat page on his phone, "I’m contacting Secretary Lu to see if I can get you a local leave."

Local leave?

As a diligent and hard-working employee.

Hearing such words suddenly from Chen Mu didn’t make Driver He as excited as he had imagined.

On the contrary.

Driver He subconsciously glanced in the direction of the school hospital.

As the school hospital ambulance driver who has maxed out his trips recently.

Driver He is well aware.

The work volume at Hai City University’s school hospital recently.

He’s not some impressive figure.

But he’s the one at Hai City University who has fought side by side with Chen Mu the longest.

If he also temporarily left the school hospital to go home and rest.

The veterans at the school hospital.

There would really only be Chen Mu left.

Driver He worried whether Chen Mu’s mental stress might be a bit too much.

Over here, Chen Mu was still typing on his phone, communicating with Secretary Lu.

When he looked up.

He met Driver He’s face, which was on the verge of tears.

Instantly.

Chen Mu found it somewhat speechless, "No, I’m just helping you apply for a break, not messing up your job. Why are you acting like this..."

It would have been better if Chen Mu hadn’t spoken.

As soon as Chen Mu spoke, Driver He’s tears unexpectedly began to fall.

Seeing Driver He’s tears.

Chen Mu paused, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

As for Driver He himself.

He was also stunned.

Awkwardly, using his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes.

Driver He looked up at Chen Mu: "I didn’t cry."

Chen Mu nodded perfunctorily: "Mm, you didn’t cry."

Just as Driver He was about to say a few more words.

Ding-dong—

Chen Mu’s phone notification sound rang.

Chen Mu looked down at the message from Secretary Lu.

Then looked up at Driver He, "Old He, Secretary Lu has responded; in a while, leave the car here, and another driver will help drive it back."

"You can head home now; starting from today, take a week off before coming back to work."

At this, Chen Mu’s tone paused.

His lips curled up, "Paid leave!"

—

"???!!!"

"I have to say, the benefits at Hai City University are truly enough to make every working person extremely envious!"

"Even a driver at the school can get the right to take leave when feeling unwell, while we have to write a thousand-word report explaining the situation before it affects our assessment..."

"Speaking of a thousand-word report, a middle-aged person shed tears; I haven’t even written my leave report yet!!!"

"Some people, writing checks in school and reports after work, their literary level isn’t great, but they’re constantly typing."

"Wanna scold again? Wanna scold again?"

"Help, I’m really a bit upset!"

"Working hard, even gets criticized in comments; workers truly have it too tough!"

"..."
