A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 332 My mindset is too small to accommodate my work

When Chen Jinnian saw the furious look on his face, he guessed that his future father-in-law, a workaholic, must have done something out of the ordinary.

And this extraordinary thing is not difficult to guess, after all, both parents are in the hospital, but the son is not around.

He walked forward and gently pulled Wang Yidi, asking, "Auntie, how long has grandma's surgery been going on?"

Wang Qing quickly took over his words and skipped her daughter's question for the time being because she was in a difficult position to explain what Wang Dazhuang had done.

"Grandma started the surgery just after noon and it took almost two hours."

"One hour and forty-seven minutes." Wang Zhanwen added that he had been standing at the door waiting since his mother was pushed into the operating room.

A normal fracture reduction surgery only takes an hour. Every minute that passes now makes Wang Zhanwen extremely tormented. Even staying in a raging sea of ​​fire would be easier than it is now.

Fortunately, this torment did not last too long. The operating room was opened and several nurses pushed Wang Yidi's grandmother out. Unlike her previous rosy complexion, her grandmother was now pale and lay listless on the hospital bed.

"Grandma, don't scare me." Wang Yidi rushed over and asked anxiously while touching the edge of the bed.

"Be good...it's okay." The grandmother tried hard to touch her granddaughter's face, but under anesthesia, she was completely unable to control her body and could only lift her fingers weakly.

Wang Qing knew that this was not the right time to speak, so she took her daughter's arm and said, "Didi, please ask the nurse to take grandma to the ward first. We can talk later if you have anything to say."

"Yeah." Wang Yidi nodded hurriedly, then followed the nurses to the ward.

Chen Jinnian and Wang Zhanwen stayed where they were, asking the surgeon about the situation.

"Director Yuan, how did my mother's surgery go?" Wang Zhanwen asked.

"The surgery went smoothly. The fracture has been reset, and the patient was not given general anesthesia, which would have been very physically demanding. He'll be able to recover from the anesthesia in about five hours, and by then he'll be completely out of danger."

After briefly explaining the surgery, Director Yuan continued, "The patient is very old, so we must be very careful during the first 24 hours after surgery. We must ensure someone is accompanying him. If any problems arise, we must contact the nurse and the doctor on duty immediately."

"Thank you, thank you, we will definitely take good care of you." Wang Zhanwen thanked repeatedly.

Chen Jinnian also hurriedly asked, "Director, can my grandmother fully recover? I just saw that the surgery was on her leg. Will that affect her future life? Will she be able to get out of bed and walk?"

"That's hard to say," Director Yuan said with a serious expression. "After middle age, the calcium in the bones begins to be lost continuously. This is an unstoppable and irreversible process. Therefore, the recovery rate of elderly people after fractures is particularly slow. I can't guarantee that they will be able to walk normally."

"However, if you pay more attention to the elderly's nutritional intake, take good care of them, and do regular rehabilitation, you can still achieve good results."

Chen Jinnian found that Director Yuan was also an expert. He listened to every word he said and repeated it again, repackaged it and gave it back to him.

Although the other party did not give a clear answer, it just proved that the answer was not optimistic. Doctors did not dare to guarantee the subsequent recovery condition if they were sure that the operation was successful.

After returning to the special care ward, Chen Jinnian and Wang Zhanwen tacitly agreed not to mention the matter, because mentioning it would only cause more trouble for everyone.

After Wang Yidi's grandmother fell asleep, Wang Qing whispered, "Zhanwen, you and Yiming should go back first. Your fire department is preparing for the Spring Festival, which is the busiest time of the year."

"It's okay, I have asked Yiming to resign. He is free now, so just let him stay in the hospital." Wang Zhanwen explained.

He himself is a commander with a rank, but Wang Yiming is not. Frontline firefighters are contracted consumables. They can't run much after they reach their thirties, and they will be dismissed if they fail the physical test. So Chen Hong has been making a fuss recently, just to change Wang Yiming's job quickly while he is still young.

"Ah, Yiming resigned. Was it so sudden?"

"The family has been discussing this for a long time. Chen Hong didn't want Yiming to continue working as a firefighter since the beginning of last year."

"Then stepping down is a good thing. Fire scenes are really too dangerous." Wang Qing nodded. As a mother herself, she understood Chen Hong's thoughts. "I'll go back and talk to your brother about it. I'll ask him to find a job for Yiming in the company."

"He doesn't need to worry about Yiming's affairs."

Wang Zhanwen refused in a firm attitude. He was now full of anger towards Wang Dazhuang. If the relationship was just a little cold before, then from today on, it had completely escalated to tension and conflict.

Seeing that he was getting angry, Chen Jinnian quickly changed the subject.

"Auntie, uncle, why don't you go back first? The doctor asked for 24-hour care. Yidi and I will take the first shift, and you can come and take over in the evening. We can't all stay here."

"Yes, Mom, you guys go back first, leave this to Jinnian and me."

Wang Yidi, who was sitting beside the hospital bed, raised her head and said that she knew why her uncle was angry. She was even angrier than Wang Zhanwen when she learned that her father had only stayed in the hospital for a while and, after making sure that her grandparents were not in danger of life, he flew to Shanghai without looking back.

She could understand her father's actions, but emotionally she couldn't accept it.

"Okay, I'll pick up Dad from the hospital first. At night, I'll let your brother take your place." Wang Zhanwen nodded, and after looking at his mother a few times, he pushed the door and walked out of the ward.

After Wang Qing gave them a few words of advice, she left quickly. What happened today made her extremely nervous. Now that she had relaxed, she was extremely tired and could only go home to sleep.

After the two elders left, Wang Yidi could no longer control himself. "How could my dad do this? He actually abandoned my grandparents and ran away. Is the company's business that important?"

"Maybe. From the company's perspective, your father is indeed dedicated enough, but from your family's perspective, he is also heartless enough. There is no way. When there is a conflict of roles, there is always a trade-off." Chen Jinnian sat next to him and advised.

Although his relationship with Wang Dazhuang was ordinary, he really didn't want to see the relationship between Wang Yidi and Wang Dazhuang have problems.

"What is there to weigh? Do I have to go to work?" Wang Yidi asked, his eyes full of anger.

"Yidi, do you remember when we started school, our teacher said that drama is more important than anything else and asked us which we would choose between performing on stage or seeing our families for the last time?"

This question is asked by almost all acting teachers.

"In fact, if I had to say it, the teacher is overly glorifying actors and is too obsessed with values. What's the point of saying 'drama is more important than anything else'? To put it bluntly, it's about which is more important, work or life. Damn, he's an actor, so he shouts 'drama is more important than anything else' every day. If he were a delivery driver, I'd see if he'd shout 'delivery is more important than anything else'."

"For those who prioritize work, no matter what their profession, work is always their priority. For those who prioritize life, no matter what their profession, life is always their priority. There's no right or wrong. It's right to prioritize the show, and it's also right to prioritize the show. Your father is the same. No matter which path he chooses, it's not wrong, because neither path will satisfy everyone."

Wang Yidi understood what he meant, "What about you? What will you choose?"

"My vision is too narrow to accommodate too much value. It's only enough for my own people." Chen Jinnian said with a smile.

Wang Yidi rolled her eyes and then snuggled in his arms.
