Huo Congjun had a tense face as he left the meeting room.
He was afraid that if he laughed, it would make it too awkward for the other doctors, and thus, affect subsequent collaborations between them.
But after returning to the Emergency Medical Center, Huo Congjun could not help but burst out laughing.
"Ling Ran, did you see the last look on Wei Qing, the one from the General Department? It's so amusing." Huo Congjun shook his head and laughed, his white teeth reflected the light from the ceiling lights, but the light reflected was faint.
Ling Ran gave Department Director Huo a rather general smile, which both soothed his mood and allowed the dialogue to continue.
"The General Surgery Department has always been conservative. This time, you could be said to have punched them in the gut." Huo Congjun recalled the scene in the meeting room and could not help but chuckle cheerfully.
Translator’s Note:
[1] Hanba: Also known as Nuba. Ba is the daughter of the Yellow Emperor (Huangdi) whom she aided during his Battle at Zhuolu against Chiyou: after Chiyou had fielded a wind god (Feng Bo) and a rain god (Yu Shi), Ba descended from heaven to use her drought power to defeat their wind and rain powers. She is one of the first goddesses attested to in Chinese literature, appearing in the early collection of poetry, the Shijing, as well as in the later Shanhaijing. Nüba can be considered to be an ancient Chinese mythical drought demon. After having descended from Heaven to aid Huangdi at Zhuolu, instead of returning to heaven, Ba wandered to the northern parts of the earth. Wherever Ba appeared there would be a drought.
