Chapter 387 – Candidate for Reception
Watching the plane gradually ascend, Song Yi felt a bit of soreness and heat in his eyes.
He thought about how, at this moment, his aunt, sitting on the plane and flying towards their homeland, must be feeling nervous and excited.
She must also be very happy.
Because she was finally able to return to her country, to her home, and soon reunite with her long-missed family.
He also wanted to return to his country.
He thought about it constantly.
He wanted to be by his wife’s side.
But he knew that, with his current study commitments, he couldn’t do so just yet.
Fanghua, I wonder how you are now?
Have you thought of me recently?
Do you miss me so much that you quietly cry in the middle of the night? Thinking this way was because Song Yi had once stayed up at night, desperately missing Xu Fanghua, his eyes red and his pillow wet with tears.
Fanghua, wait for me to come back.
I am studying hard now and will return as soon as I can.

Just two weeks ago.
The entire medical community in Beijing, as well as the major universities, especially those with medical programs, were in a state of excitement and anticipation.
Why?
It was naturally due to a significant piece of news.
Two weeks ago, they received an important notice from above.
It stated that the internationally renowned and famous surgical expert, Dr. Ning Di, would soon be coming from Country A to their country for a medical exchange.
As for Dr. Ning Di, there was no one in the medical field who didn’t know of her.
In fact, much of the content they studied in the medical field today was compiled by Dr. Ning Di.
In medicine, she was a great figure, her talent in medicine, her pioneering techniques and miracles, made countless people revere her.
Everyone also knew that although Dr. Ning Di had lived in Country A since she was young, and had continued to live there for many years while getting married and starting a family, she was actually of Chinese descent.
It was said that Dr. Ning Di had always wanted to return to her homeland, but since she was so important to the authorities in Country A, they had never been willing to let her go.
Now, finally, they had relented, allowing Dr. Ning Di to return under the guise of a medical exchange.
The authorities expressed immense welcome and joy at Dr. Ning Di’s return.
For them, who were still relatively underdeveloped in various aspects, having a medical giant like Ning Di return was incredibly valuable and served as a powerful boost, lifting everyone’s spirits and excitement.
Therefore, the authorities placed a high priority on Dr. Ning Di’s return.
They eagerly hoped that Dr. Ning Di would bring valuable medical knowledge and advance their medical technology.
Universities with medical programs also hoped that Dr. Ning Di would visit their institutions for medical exchanges, so their students could absorb advanced medical knowledge.
Of course, it would be even better if they could be noticed by Dr. Ning Di and become her students or disciples.
The excitement surrounding Dr. Ning Di’s return did not stop there.
Major newspapers reported extensively on her legendary achievements and her upcoming return.
Naturally, many prominent and wealthy individuals suffering from difficult-to-treat illnesses also felt a jolt upon hearing about Dr. Ning Di’s return.
They wondered if they might be able to enlist Dr. Ning Di’s help for their medical conditions and surgeries. Of course, they were willing to pay a considerable price for such assistance.
Would such an opportunity arise?
Whether it would or not, there was always hope.
And now, two weeks later.
The authorities suddenly announced: Dr. Ning Di was already on the plane and would return to the country tonight.
Tomorrow, Dr. Ning Di’s first stop would be Beijing University.
She would be conducting a medical exchange at Beijing University!
Dr. Ning Di’s imminent return once again ignited everyone’s enthusiasm.
The choice of Beijing University as her first stop seemed quite reasonable.
Although Beijing University was not the most renowned for its medical program, it was the most prestigious university and recognized as the top institution in the country.
Moreover, it was said that Dr. Ning Di had personally chosen this destination.
So, while everyone hoped Dr. Ning Di would visit their institutions, they still respected her choice.
Dr. Ning Di’s selection of Beijing University as her first stop delighted President Jiang Wenxu.
“Great, this is wonderful!” He couldn’t help but clap his hands, a broad smile on his face.
Dr. Ning Di’s visit was indeed a significant event, but as the president, he needed to prepare thoroughly.
He would certainly make sure to provide an exceptional welcome when Dr. Ning Di arrived at their university. Besides himself, there needed to be others involved.
Their medical program was outstanding, with talented students, including young prodigies in the medical field. And, there was one very important person to consider as well.
Teacher Xu Jinning must also be present!
Not only because Xu Jinning is a young teacher at their university, but also because she is a talented member of the National Translation Department. Recently, she successfully provided simultaneous interpretation at a multi-national conference, and according to Professor Liang, Xu Jinning performed exceptionally well, even surpassing some seasoned professionals.
Naturally, Mr. Zhang also held Xu Jinning in higher regard.
But President Jiang Wenxu wanted Xu Jinning to be present for more than just these reasons.
It was also because of the inner thoughts imagery from the last event, which made him feel that Xu Jinning was a remarkable person.
He even believed she was a lucky star for their university.
How could such a lucky star not be included?
So, Xu Jinning’s presence was a must.
Just as President Jiang Wenxu was planning this, he received a phone call in the evening.
It turned out that Dr. Ning Di had already landed and was currently staying at the Friendship Hotel.
Dr. Ning Di had made a special request for the visit to Beijing University: she wanted Xu Jinning and Xu Fanghua to be present.
“Why?” Although Xu Jinning’s presence was something Jiang Wenxu had planned for, he was curious.
“I don’t know. This request came directly from Dr. Ning Di. I’m puzzled, as Dr. Ning Di has never been to our country before. How would she know the names of these two students at your university?”
“Ah, you got it wrong. Xu Jinning is now a teacher. Although I don’t know how Dr. Ning Di found out, don’t forget that our country recently sent a batch of students to Country A for studying. So, where does Dr. Ning Di come from?”
The person suddenly realized, “You’re right. It’s very likely that Dr. Ning Di learned about them from our batch of students. It seems our students had quite a bit of interaction with Dr. Ning Di.”
As they spoke, the person sighed, “I wonder how the students who went abroad are doing now. Everyone is hoping for their successful return.”
“Yes,” Jiang Wenxu also felt a sense of nostalgia. After a while, he composed himself and said, “Teacher Xu Jinning can certainly go, but Xu Fanghua might not be able to make it. She is pregnant. However, I can’t make the decision for her. I’ll ask for her opinion.”
