My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 289: Chapter 282: Give Him the Chair

“So, is it not possible?” Lin Yile really cried this time. Was her dream really in conflict with reality?

“Lele…” Lin’s mother tried to console her daughter, “You’ve had a weak health since childhood, so I didn’t let you learn the piano. If you want to study music, what do you need to learn? Piano or singing, you’ve already lost at the starting line. Your father and I know it’s doomed. How could we let you go down that path? Moreover, regardless of the major you study, you may not be able to get into Qing University. Your score is only just touching the edge of what’s required, and if you miss or overshoot this edge, it’s all uncertain.”

Lin Yile returned to her room and cried for a long time. When she emerged, it seemed like she had come to some understanding.

“Mom, Dad, I will not study music anymore.”

Only then did Lin’s parents breathe a sigh of relief. Their daughter’s notion had finally changed. They really didn’t know what to do if she held on to her original idea. Fortunately, she changed her mind.

As Lin Yile lifted her head, her musical dream had been cried away. Tang Yuxin was right, between dreams and reality, there always lies the issue of ability.

Her ability was not enough to support her musical dream, so she would no longer think about it.

She was going to pursue a more realistic path now.

“Dad, Mom, I want to study nursing. I want to become a nurse.”

“Good,” Lin’s dad was the first to agree. He originally wanted his daughter to become a teacher or a doctor. However, he knew his daughter was timid and not suited for surgery. So, it was best for her to be a nurse, or a teacher.

But now that his daughter wants to be a nurse, then a nurse she shall be. And if she really gets into Qing University, then, after graduation, she won’t be an ordinary nurse, but a top-tier nurse.

This brings promise, limitless potential.

Of course, Lin’s mother agreed too. This child had weak health. Being a nurse in the future would at least guarantee her personal health.

For Lin Yile, they filled her first preference for university as the Nursing Department of Qing University Medical College, while the second preference was a second-tier college further from Qing’an. Despite being farther away, this college was also highly respected in nursing. So the second preference, as chosen by Lin’s father, was this one.

As for Tang Yuxin, she directly wrote Clinical Medicine of Qing University Medical College for her first choice, leaving the second option blank.

Lin Miaomiao decided on the Normal (Education) department of Qing University. To be on the safe side, the Education department of Qing’an University was also listed. Anyway, admission into either was fine. Qing University was nationally-renowned. If she couldn’t get in, she just wasn’t capable enough, so she would choose a school near home – the Education School of Qing’an University. It was so close that she could ride her bike there in a matter of minutes and could come home every day to see her parents. So, admission into either was perfectly fine.

As for Chen Lidong, he had his own thoughts. He chose the Computer Science Department at a large university. It was a new and flourishing field that would definitely be in high demand in the future. Even though this university lagged a little behind Qing University and Nanqing University, its Computer Science Department was very well-known.

Now all they were waiting for was the release of the examination results.

Tang Yuxin wasn’t worried. She continued her daily routine of mountain herb picking or playing with her brother. She was content operating independently.

As for the college entrance examination scores, they were about to be released. Lin’s father, a mid-level government official, was certainly not someone to dismiss lightly. Otherwise, he would not have been able to send his daughter to Number Five High School. With Lin Yile’s grades, she might not even have been admitted to Number Two High School, let alone Number Five High School. She would have been relegated to the awful Number Three High School. Thanks to the backdoor channels his father had opened, Lele’s prospects had been saved from ruin.

“Hey, Mr. Lin, I have something to talk to you about. Could you come to my office?”

The leader was looking for Lin’s father.

Lin’s father had no idea what was happening, but when his superiors summoned him, he went without hesitation.

“Mr. Lin, sit here.”

The leader gestured to a seat next to his own. Lin’s father took his seat, his heart in turmoil. What was this about? What was the reason for calling him here out of the blue?

“Hehe…” The leader chuckled slightly, “Relax, it’s not a big deal. It’s not bad news, but good news.”

Saying this, the leader poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Lin’s father.

Lin’s father was quite surprised. How come the leader was personally serving him tea? Was this a polite gesture? Or was this a setup?

The leader picked up his own cup, then sighed lightly, “I have been sitting on this position for almost five or six years. I thought I would stay here for the rest of my life.”

“But who would have thought, I am finally moving on.”

Lin’s father was startled. Moving on, where to?

The leader patted Lin’s father’s shoulder lightly, “Thanks to this opportunity, otherwise, I would not have been able to move so smoothly to a position at the provincial committee.”

Lin’s father was even more baffled now. He hadn’t done anything, had he?

“Ah, sorry. I forgot to inform you earlier.” The leader slapped himself on the forehead, revealing a hint of a bald patch. Indeed, he had grown old, and had started to lose hair. But the prospect of a promotion made all this hair loss worthwhile.

“I guess you’re in the dark about these details, aren’t you?”

Lin’s father nodded. Indeed, he had no clue about all of this. He was pretty confused. What was all this about? Why should he be thanked? What did the leader’s promotion have to do with him?

“Hehe…” The leader laughed again, a genuine one this time. There was nothing added, just pure happiness.

“We have a provincial topper in Qing’an for the college entrance examination this year, and from the school you manage, six students have been admitted into Nanqing University and Qing University. Moreover, many of them have been admitted into nationally renowned first-tier universities. This year, our Qing’an has nearly matched the results of the province’s Number One High School, and even surpassed it.”

Upon hearing this, Lin’s father’s heart skipped a beat.

The school he managed, wasn’t it Number Five High School?

If it was indeed Number Five High School, then out of the six students accepted into Qing University and Nanqing University, Tang Yuxin must be one of them. After all, she had been the top student in her grade for those three years. Whether it was her or not was still uncertain, but Lin’s father felt there was a high chance it was.

“It’s all thanks to those kids.”

The leader sighed once more, then patted Lin’s father’s shoulder again, “After I move out, this position will be yours.”

Lin’s father’s heart took another leap. Was the leader really going to give him this position?
