Chapter 819 - 838: Not an Overflow of Sympathy, But Having the Capacity and Kindness to Spare

"But standardized management can be implemented."

"It requires too much manpower and resources," Dean Zhu said. "No one takes this matter to heart.

"A single person can’t carry the weight alone."

"The best way to resolve these issues is to organize the practical activities differently, or to extend the duration." But Dean Zhu couldn’t decide these matters. He held a high position and great power, but the Spirit Healing Association was not his dictatorship, and among the deans of the joint schools, he didn’t have the final say on everything.

"However, this time, the situation is too egregious.

"I’ve already asked the Q3 government to send people to guard the lines."

"But... there will still be many people who won’t be seen, right?" Qiuqiu asked.

Dean Zhu knew what Qiuqiu meant. "Yes."

Jiang Qiuqiu thought a lot. "Dean, I want to do something, may I?"

"Let me guess. Qiuqiu, you don’t want to take a break anymore, and you want to ask if you can go to work in the consultation room right now?"

"Mhm, but Dean, you only guessed half of it."

Dean Zhu looked at her. "What else?"

Qiuqiu felt she was being rather unconventional. She explained her idea.

Dean Zhu patted her shoulder. "According to the joint school rules, theoretically, it’s not allowed. But while I, your teacher, can’t make decisions for all the schools, I can make the call for our school. I approve of you doing this."

"Thank you, Dean!"

"No, this time, I should be the one thanking you." The old man was very gentle and refined. "I’ve been a dean for so long that it’s gotten tiresome. Seeing your sincere heart makes me very happy."

"It’s not really a sincere heart." Jiang Qiuqiu felt she didn’t deserve such a noble term. She just thought... "I can help them."

If it didn’t harm her own interests and could help others, Jiang Qiuqiu would choose the ’yes’ answer.

After returning to her dorm, she packed her things. She sent a message to Little President Qian, asking him to send over some items she currently needed.

When her dormmates saw Qiuqiu packing, they couldn’t help but ask what was going on. Qiuqiu didn’t hide it and straightforwardly said she was going to ’work’.

The other three girls in the dorm paused.

After only a few breaths of thought, Gu Xiang, Wang Shasha, and the others immediately said they would tag along too.

"The patients treated during break time don’t count towards the competition tally," Qiuqiu reminded them.

"Well, we’re all ranked outside the top hundred," Wang Shasha said, a little embarrassed. "We don’t need to care about that."

So what if they weren’t ranked well?

What about Gu Xiang? She was ranked in the top ten.

"Why are you looking at me? It’s just a ranking." Gu Xiang also started grabbing her things. "I want to become one of the most, most, most outstanding Spirit Healing Masters! I’m not here to collect a bunch of little awards.

"By practicing more and diagnosing more, I can also gain valuable knowledge."

They all had pretty good reasons.

Qiuqiu smiled. "Then let’s all pack our bags and head to the hospital together."

"Okay!"

"Is it open over there?"

"I asked the dean, and he said the doors would be open."

"OK!"

Under these circumstances, packing their things, pushing the door open, and setting off actually gave them quite a valiant and high-spirited feeling.

The four of them huddling together with their backpacks as they left the dorm was quite conspicuous. On the way, when people from the same building saw them, they couldn’t help but ask what they were going to do. Were they going out? It was best not to go out recently; some scary things might happen.

Upon hearing that they weren’t going out, but rather going to ’work at the clinic’, everyone’s expressions turned strange. Some looked surprised. Some...

Many felt pity for the people outside the gates and wanted to do something to help them. But upon seeing someone immediately heading to work to help right as their vacation began, they couldn’t help but make a few remarks. Was this an overflow of sympathy? Was there really a need to go this far?

Initially, Qiuqiu hadn’t spoken up while outside. But after that person made that remark, she rebutted them with a calm and determined gaze.

"It’s not an overflow of sympathy.

"It’s about having the strength to spare and the kindness to share."

It wasn’t that she was a bodhisattva who couldn’t bear to see worldly suffering. It was just that this matter happened to be something she could resolve simply by lending a hand.
