Chapter 222 Submitting Resignation
The rickshaw driver walked briskly, but Jiang Shiyuan's heart felt like it was being pressed by a huge rock.
Japanese spy and Operation Sakura, these two key words kept circling in her mind.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the Wanguo Apartment. Jiang Shiyuan paid the taxi fare and quickly walked to his room.
She closed the door gently, then immediately locked it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Shiyuan took off her coat and hat, hung her new violet cheongsam in the closet, and changed into comfortable home clothes.
Then she walked to the window and stretched lazily as if unintentionally, but in fact she was carefully observing the movements downstairs.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, she closed the curtains and sat down at the desk.
Jiang Shiyuan took out a pen and paper and began to record her analysis and speculation about this "Operation Sakura".
After writing, she rolled the long strip of paper into a thin tube and stuffed it into the empty pen cap.
This was the contact method she and Gu Fangxun had agreed upon before.
Tomorrow morning, she will "accidentally" place the pen in the dead letter box dedicated to the Lantern Bearers Group.
The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the gaps in the curtains.
Jiang Shiyuan got up early, washed up, and changed into a simple dress.
Then she put on some light makeup to cover up the tiredness on her face.
She pinned the pen she had prepared into the pocket of her dress, walked quickly out of the apartment and hailed a rickshaw.
"Master, go to Sacred Heart Hospital."
Today she is going to the hospital to submit her resignation, bidding farewell to the doctor profession that she loves so much.
Although she likes the work of saving lives and wants to continue to promote the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, it can only save a small number of people after all.
However, by lurking in the Japanese pirates' Special High Section in Shanghai, she could save more people in disguise and usher in victory in the anti-Japanese war as soon as possible.
So, she resolutely chose to resign.
They arrived at Sacred Heart Hospital. Jiang Shiyuan paid the taxi fare and walked into the hospital gate.
A familiar smell of disinfectant hit her face, and she walked towards the dean's office with heavy steps.
"Knock, knock, knock." Jiang Shiyuan knocked on the door gently.
"Come in." A slightly unfamiliar voice came.
She pushed the door open and saw a gray-haired, energetic foreign man sitting behind the desk.
"Hello, Dean. I'm Jiang Shiyuan from the Department of Cardiac Surgery!"
Upon hearing this, the new dean stood up and extended his hand enthusiastically.
"Hello, Dean Williams has returned home, and I am his successor, Smith."
"Dr. Jiang, I've heard of your name for a long time. Dean Williams often mentions you and says you are the best surgeon in the hospital!"
Jiang Shiyuan shook hands with him politely, "Hello, Dean Smith!"
After the greetings, Jiang Shiyuan took out the resignation letter he had prepared long ago from his handbag and handed it to Smith with both hands.
"Dean, this is my resignation letter."
Dean Smith took the letter and asked in surprise, "Doctor Jiang, why do you want to resign?"
"It's the hospital's work. Is there anything you are not satisfied with?"
Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Dean Smith, I really like the work at Sacred Heart Hospital, and I also like the sense of mission of saving lives and healing the wounded."
"I have more important things to do right now, but I cannot reveal the specific reasons."
Dean Smith frowned, "Doctor Jiang, you are the backbone of our hospital!"
"If you leave, it will be a huge loss to Sacred Heart Hospital!"
"Especially now that the war is raging, this is exactly when we need an excellent doctor like you. Please reconsider it!"
Jiang Shiyuan said firmly, "I'm sorry, Dean. I have thought it over carefully and my decision will not change."
"I hope you can approve my resignation!"
Dean Smith wanted to persuade him further, but when he saw Jiang Shiyuan's determined look, he knew that it was useless to say more.
He sighed and signed the resignation letter reluctantly.
"Doctor Jiang, I hope that if you have the opportunity in the future, you can come back to work at Sacred Heart Hospital."
Jiang Shiyuan took the resignation letter and smiled, "Thank you, Dean. We'll see you again if we're lucky!"
She turned and left the dean's office, holding her resignation letter, and walked towards the Human Resources Department with firm steps.
The sun shone on her, but it could not dispel the heaviness in her heart.
What awaits her ahead will be even more arduous challenges and more dangerous situations.
But she will not hesitate or retreat at all, and will move forward courageously without looking back.
In the corridor, doctors and nurses greeted her from time to time, with expressions of regret on their faces.
"Doctor Jiang, are you really leaving?" A young nurse asked with red eyes.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled and patted her shoulder. "All good things must come to an end. We'll see you again someday!"
"Doctor Jiang, what will we do if you leave?" Another older nurse held her hand, reluctant to let her go.
"Don't worry, there are many excellent doctors in the hospital!" Jiang Shiyuan comforted, "You will all get better and better!"
After completing the formalities at the Human Resources Department, Jiang Shiyuan returned to the Department of Cardiac Surgery and began the work handover.
The atmosphere in the general office of the Department of Cardiac Surgery was a little dull for a while.
Colleagues who had worked with her during this period gathered around her, expressing their reluctance to part with her one by one.
"Doctor Jiang, remember one time when we were in a field hospital and the bombardment was raging, and you managed to save that little soldier despite the hail of bullets..." A male doctor wearing glasses choked up.
"Yes, that was really thrilling, all thanks to Dr. Jiang!" another female doctor echoed.
"There was also that time when a plague broke out in the camp. Doctor Jiang worked tirelessly to research treatment options and finally brought the epidemic under control..."
Everyone's eyes were red as they recalled the times when they had fought side by side.
Nurse Wang, who had been very afraid of Jiang Shiyuan, now stepped forward with tears in her eyes and hugged her tightly.
"Dr. Jiang, thank you! Thank you for teaching me so much..."
Nurse Wang whispered in her ear, "I will remember your teachings and continue to contribute my strength to the war of resistance..."
Jiang Shiyuan hugged her back tightly and whispered in her ear: "Take care, we will continue to fight on our respective battlefields!"
Nurse Wang has now been secretly developed into an underground party member by her. She is also preparing to resign this week and secretly go to the enemy's rear battlefield in her hometown of Ancheng to work as a medical worker.
Jiang Shiyuan handed over his work notes and some research results that he had compiled during this period to his colleagues without reservation.
"These are some of my experiences. I hope they can be helpful to you and benefit more people."
"Doctor Jiang, you are such a good person!"
A young doctor said excitedly, "We will learn from your experience and carry forward your medical skills!"
Jiang Shiyuan smiled and said, "I believe you!"
After the handover was completed, Jiang Shiyuan looked around, his eyes full of reluctance.
Every table, chair, blade of grass and tree here are full of memories.
She saved lives and healed the wounded here, and also made friends with like-minded people here.
Now she is leaving here and heading to another battlefield.
"Take care, everyone!" Jiang Shiyuan bowed deeply and turned to leave.
Colleagues stood up and watched her leave.
The sunlight shines through the window into the empty office, making it seem particularly lonely.
Jiang Shiyuan walked out of the Sacred Heart Hospital, took a deep breath, and felt the familiar smell of disinfectant in the air.
She knew that she could never go back.
But she had no regrets because she chose another more difficult and more glorious path.
A new identity, new tasks, and new challenges are all waiting for her!
