"Come on in, why did you arrive so early?" Shi Hongxing opened the door and entered the Chinese medicine department room 2, inviting Beisitian inside.
Beisitian walked in, the faint scent of Chinese herbs inside inexplicably calming her heart.
"It's my first day reporting in, so I came a bit early," Beisitian replied.
"Please take a seat; the place to check in is on the seventh floor of the surgery building in the personnel department. Do you know where it is? If not, I can have Xiao Zhou take you there later," Shi Hongxing said.
"I've been there before, but they start working at eight," Beisitian sat down.
Shi Hongxing picked up two thermos bottles and said to Beisitian, "Wait here; I'll go fetch some water." Without waiting for a response, he grabbed the thermos and left.
There's a boiler room on the first floor of the surgical building, not far away, so Shi Hongxing returned shortly after.
