With so many years of experience in dissection, she had an intimate understanding of the human body's structure. Moreover, having been sent to martial arts school by her father when she was young, her finger techniques and strength were exceptional, which proved invaluable in this emergency resuscitation.
If she were not a forensic doctor, she would have been fully capable of being an outstanding physician as well.
Mai Xiaomai had pulled the elderly man back from the brink of danger, and the ambulance arrived.
The doctor didn't ask who she was but requested her accompaniment.
Going to any lengths for others, she saw her good deeds through to the end.
Mai Xiaomai might appear indifferent, but her heart was filled with a passionate and compassionate spirit.
Not knowing how to contact the elderly man's family and having nothing else to do at that moment, she followed the ambulance to the hospital and assisted with the admission procedures for the elderly man.
By the time she completed the procedures and arrived at the elderly man's room, he had already received further treatment from the doctors and was looking quite spirited, talking with his attending physician.
The attending physician spoke to the man with utmost respect.
Seeing her return, the doctor said to the elderly man, "Mr. Qiao, your rapid recovery today owes the greatest debt to this young lady's timely first aid, which bought us some precious time. Otherwise, the consequences could have been unimaginable!"
The old man nodded, his face grateful and amiable as he thanked Mai Xiaomai.
"No need to thank me; saving lives and helping the injured is a responsibility we all share."
Mai Xiaomai casually recited the slogan posted in the hospital corridor, glancing at her watch, "You're fine now, so I'll be on my way. Please take care and recover well!"
"Miss, wait a moment,"
the old man called out, "I don't even know your name."
"I'm Mai Xiaomai."
Mai Xiaomai wasn't like Lei Feng, always doing good deeds without leaving her name behind.
When someone asked for her name, giving it wasn't for the sake of a reward, but rather a matter of politeness.
"Alright, I'll remember that. My name is Qiao Feng. If it weren't for you, I might be lying in bed like a vegetable right now, unable to move a muscle. I want to repay you, but I don't know what you need."
Upon hearing the name Qiao Feng, Mai Xiaomai was somewhat taken aback.
In A City, even the children knew who Qiao Feng was.
Of course, the reference was not to the Qiao Feng from the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," but to the founder of A City's largest enterprise group, the Qiao Family Group, and A City's richest man.
No wonder, the attending physician treated him with such respect.
"Heh, thank you, but although I'm not Lei Feng, when I saved you, I didn't expect any reward. I don't need anything, just reimburse me for the hospital admission fees I paid for you."
Mai Xiaomai took out the payment receipt she had received earlier and placed it in front of Qiao Feng, "The total is 3,460 yuan. Here is the receipt."
"What kind of person would Mr. Qiao be if he owed you a few thousand yuan?"
The attending physician chided from the side, "In A City, it's not just a few thousand yuan; even millions could be offered by him."
"I just did what any decent person would do. Millions are not what I deserve; just reimburse the few thousand yuan, and that will be fine."
Mai Xiaomai was someone who stuck to her principles.
Though not wealthy, her salary was sufficient to cover her everyday needs.
"Aside from that, you have no other requests? Miss Mai, could you give me a chance to repay you?"
Qiao Feng asked, looking into the eyes of the young lady before him, clear and calm.
"The fact that you were successfully saved by me is good enough,"
Mai Xiaomai said with a smile. "It's always been a good quality of us Chinese to give without expecting anything in return. Don't put a utilitarian label on me; just paying me back the 3,460 yuan is enough."
Qiao Feng got Mai Xiaomai's account details and transferred 3,460 yuan to her with his phone.
He didn't transfer more to avoid disrespecting her.
