C18 Surgical Success and the Appearance of New People

And at the same time as Zhang Zhu Lan's operation, on the other side of the world …

This is what is happening in a posh half-mountain villa in New York, USA.

"I said I wouldn't go to China, why?" A girl's voice sounded slightly angry as she asked.

"If I tell you to go, then go. You still dare to talk back." The one who spoke was a middle-aged man.

"This is my problem. Why can't I make the decision? If I don't want to, then I won't!" The girl said angrily.

"Cheng Xiao Han, I'm not negotiating conditions with you." The middle-aged man shouted out the girl's name angrily.

"Mom, hurry up and control Dad. Why are you letting me go to China? I'm not going, give me a reason!"

The middle-aged woman who was called out was standing behind the middle-aged man. She didn't know what to say.

"Hmph, don't always expect your mother to spoil you so that you can go to the country to study and exercise yourself. Look at how you are now."

Just as the middle-aged man was reprimanding the girl in front of him, a subordinate ran over.

"Director Cheng, the car is ready. The meeting over there is about to begin." The subordinate whispered into the middle-aged man's ear.

"This time, go and be honest. The plane ticket and passport are already prepared for you. Don't make me angry again." With that, the middle-aged man left the room with his men following closely behind him.

After the middle-aged man disappeared at the end of the corridor, the girl angrily sat down and banged on the sofa.

"What is this? How can a father be like this?"

At this moment, the middle-aged beauty walked over and patted the girl's head in consolation.

"Xiao Han, don't be too stubborn. Your dad is doing this for your own good. Going out to exercise is good for you. Also, Dragon City University isn't any worse than American schools."

"You're annoying. I think you just don't want me with you." The girl stood up and went upstairs, entering her room and slamming the door.

When Zhang Chu was pushed out of the operating room, it was already past 8 pm and the operation lasted for 5 hours. Because the effects of the anesthesia had not yet reached its peak, Zhang Chu was still in a deep slumber. However, according to Dr. Geng Lin, the operation was very successful. They repaired and molded the kneecap with titanium alloy and rubber, and took out most of the broken bones.

Zhang Xiashan was sent to the ward, waiting for him to wake up. Zhang's parents were very happy to hear the news of the successful operation, but had to wait outside the ward as a rule not to visit Zhang.

As the numbness faded away, a wave of pain hit him, and he slowly opened his eyes. He could feel the pain in his legs, and the swelling. There was no one around, only him in the ward. The room was dark except for the faint glow of the heart rate meter. Zhang Xiashan felt physically and mentally exhausted, but the pain made him want to sleep yet not be able to sleep. Zhang Chu's mouth was very dry and his throat was very thirsty, but he could not make a sound.

The next night passed quickly. After a night of tormenting, Zhang Can Lan gradually fell asleep.

Doctor Geng Lin came to the ward to check the postoperative condition of Zhang Geng. Every time he came, Zhang Geng was sleeping. Judging from the inspection, Zhang Chu's reaction was normal. Right now, he just needed to take his time to recuperate. President Song also came to the ward to see Zhang Chu. He instructed him to cooperate with the doctor's work so that he could have a good attitude.

After recuperating over a period of five days, Zhang Xiashan was basically free from the torture of having just undergone surgery, and was now able to eat and read normally. Geng Lin filmed another film for Zhang Xiashan and found that his legs were moving in a favorable direction. Only here could he officially announce the success of the first phase of Zhang Xiashan's operation.

A few days later, another treatment meeting was called, but this time, Zhang Chu Lan wasn't present. The conference was to discuss the second stage of corrective treatment. Because the second stage of correction also depends on surgery, so it can only be done after Zhang Chu's legs have reached the conditions for the second operation. The preliminary judgement will still need about 15 days, which is the year after the second operation. And it takes about two months to recover. This meant that Zhang Xiashan would be delayed by one and a half months to report to school. Thus, Zhang Xiashan's parents sent the situation along with the certificate given by the hospital to the Dragon City University's Principal's office. In order to proceed with the next step of treatment as soon as possible, the hospital also accelerated Zhang Hengchuan's recovery. From the original 3 days of treatment, he changed to daily medicine.

This was quite painful for Zhang Xiashan. It was very painful to change the medication, and every time, he would have to use the part of his body where Zhang Xiashan was operated on. What was even more unexpected was that one of the nurses who changed his medicine was the one who shaved his hair that day. This confused Zhang Chu. Now that he thought about it, he still couldn't control himself from thinking about what had happened that day. Therefore, every time he changed the medicine, he would have to pretend to be doing other things, such as reading or sleeping.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the new year. This year's new year was going to be spent in the hospital, and this was something new for Zhang Xiashan. A few days before New Year's Eve, they didn't have the leisure to stay with Zhang Xiashan's parents. The two of them helped the doctors and nurses clean the ward, move stuff, and hang up the Spring Festival couplets. When he wasn't in the hospital, he would go out to buy New Year's food, saying that it was only for New Year's food, that it was just to buy some sweets, and even bought a new set of clothes for Zhang Can Hen. It had been a long time since Zhang Xiashan had any new clothes, so he was exceptionally happy. A happy new year was about to come. Although this new year was not very tasty, it was the happiest new year in his heart.

At the same time, on the New Year's Day, there were still some people busy with their work. The Dragon City University's President was one of them. During this period of time, he had to busy himself with arranging the affairs of the school, cleaning up the finances, having a meeting and also taking care of the academy's matters. Now he was sitting at his desk, a little overwhelmed by the papers.

In front of him was an application for dropout and two applications for admission to school. Both applications were made in exchange for a student, the applicant being a man and a woman.

The woman was very pretty and was a Chinese American who was currently studying at the New York Women's Institute in the United States and had applied to be inserted into the School of Finance and Management in exchange for a student. The girl's name was Cheng Xiao Han.

The other male applicant had an ordinary appearance. He had applied to join the English Academy through a special recommendation.

As for the person who applied to drop out, it was a male student. His name was Wang Jing, and he was enrolled in the Finance Department. The reason for his withdrawal was unknown.

Faced with these three applications, the principal was at a loss. What puzzled him the most was Wang Jing, who had dropped out of school. Although his grades were not top-notch, he was still very outstanding. You know how many people can't get in with their heads crushed. The principal had also called Wang Jing's parents, but none of them could get through.

These two applications were even more strange.

According to the information given by the girl, Cheng Xiaohan, she was a very good student. She had been in the United States since primary school, and she had always been a top school. The principal felt strange that Dragon City University had not established any kind of exchange with this New York Women's College. However, the application not only had the seal of the Women's Academy and the seal of the embassy, but also the seal of the Education Bureau and a letter of recommendation from the Education Bureau.

If it was said that a girl was outstanding enough to let the principal cast aside some doubts, then he would not be able to understand the information on boys. The boy's name was Zheng Bin, and his education experience was blank. His family background was blank, with only a small amount of personal information. But it was this almost untouchable application that also had the Board of Education's seal and recommendation letter.

It was the first time in years that the headmaster had seen such an application. He had no idea what the identities of these two people were, but he knew that having the Board of Education's seal meant that the application was almost passed. Unless there were special circumstances, the principal could not refuse the application. The headmaster had also called the Board of Education to ask about the matter, but the answer he got was vague and did not contain any useful information. The only thing he knew was that the Board of Education's seal was real.

The two of them applied for admission on March 1st. The principal recorded their names before signing the application and handing it to the teacher in charge of this matter. The headmaster decided to check on the two students after the start of school.

Lunar New Year, a traditional Chinese holiday, families gathered together to celebrate. Zhang Chu's New Year was on the hospital bed, accompanied by the nurse doctor and his parents. Although they were not at home, it was still very lively. Eating steaming hot dumplings, looking at the Spring Festival Gala, the ward also laughed repeatedly, joyful. The new year's bell rang, and Zhang wished himself all the best in the new year. At this very moment, Cheng Xiao Han, Zheng Bin, Wang He, Ran Yu, Zhang Yi, Li Yu Ying, Wang Jing, and some others were celebrating the arrival of the new year. What they didn't know was that in the new year, their fates would be tightly linked to each other and to Zhang Can Hen.
