That night, his father was taken to Sanbo. Early the next morning, Dean Xia personally went to the ward to see him and instructed the head of the cardiology department for quite a while. By the time Li Zehui rushed back, his father had already settled in and held his hand, saying, "Your dean is truly a good man."
He nodded, thinking not just of a good man, but of someone who truly understands talent.
Dean Xia never talks about grand principles with him. He doesn't talk about "contributing to the country," or "national rejuvenation," or "patriotic sentiment." He just gets things done. Matters of housing, children, parents, life—one by one, quietly arranged for you.
Once, during a chat, Dean Xia said something that he always remembered: "Professor Li, you've come back not to endure hardships. Whatever treatment you had abroad, it will only be better domestically. Just focus your efforts on your work; I'll worry about everything else. I'm your service officer."
