Chapter 428 Lifesaver - Zhuang Tunan
At Tongji University's design institute, Zhang Wanshu was intently drawing at her desk, her pencil constantly sketching lines on the blueprints.
Suddenly, she seemed to hear a familiar voice, a voice that sounded like Zhuang Tunan's.
I put down my pencil, stood up and looked over, and sure enough, I saw Zhuang Tunan and Professor Dong standing at the door.
Didn't Zhuang Tunan go to the construction site today? Why is he back so early?
As soon as Zhuang Tunan returned to his seat, Zhang Wanshu immediately went over to him.
Her gaze immediately fell on Zhuang Tunan's right hand, which was wrapped tightly in gauze, and her heart clenched instantly.
Zhuang Tunan noticed her gaze, quickly put his hand under the table, forced a smile at her, and called softly.
"Wanshu".
Zhang Wanshu reached out with heartache and carefully took his hand out from under the table, asking anxiously.
"What happened? He was fine when he went to the construction site this morning, how did he get injured?"
Zhuang Tunan looked back at the teachers and senior students who were drawing around him, then pressed Zhang Wanshu down into a chair next to him and explained in a low voice.
"There was a little accident at the construction site today. A worker lost his footing and was about to fall. I instinctively pulled him up, but I accidentally got scratched by something nearby. It's nothing serious, and it won't delay anything once I'm healed."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanshu became so angry that she put her hands on her hips, her brows furrowed tightly, and said sternly.
“Zhuang Tunan, don’t give me that joking face! Let me ask you this: if he takes you down with him, this seemingly ordinary little thing at the construction site could turn into a tragedy! Tunan, what will I do if something happens to you? What will our parents do? Have you thought about these things?”
Seeing her anxious expression, Zhuang Tunan quickly comforted her.
"I understand. If something like this happens again, I'll help as long as it doesn't involve my personal safety, okay?"
Zhang Wanshu's heart skipped a beat when she saw his injured hand.
She knew all too well that for people like them in the construction industry, their hands were their livelihood, and she was aware of Zhuang Tunan's passion for this profession.
She couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be if his hand function were truly affected.
Fortunately, she was relieved to hear Zhuang Tu say that she was alright.
"You still haven't taken what I just said to heart, Zhuang Tunan."
Zhuang Tunan smiled and put his arm around her shoulder.
"That happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to react. It was a completely subconscious action. I couldn't just stand by and watch someone fall and die, otherwise my conscience would be tormented."
Zhang Wanshu knew exactly what kind of person Zhuang Tunan was; it was his kindness that had attracted her attention.
But she also understood that if real danger were to occur, she would rather Zhuang Tunan protect himself first, even if people said he was inactive.
Call her selfish or self-serving, all she wanted was for Zhuang Tunan to be safe and sound, not to be the hero others talked about.
"Hmph, I'll talk to you this afternoon. Don't bother drawing anymore, just sit still."
After saying that, she stood up, ignored Zhuang Tunan, returned to her seat, picked up her pencil, and continued drawing the unfinished blueprint.
But she couldn't calm her mind, and after an entire afternoon, she had only managed to draw a few lines on the blueprint.
Around five o'clock, there was a knock on the door, and the voices of several men came through.
"Knock knock knock, is this Tongji Design Institute? Is Zhuang Tunan here?"
Everyone's eyes turned to look.
Zhang, the construction team leader, was standing in front, with Lao Liu next to him and two other workers behind them.
They were carrying fruit and pastries, and clutching something cylindrical in their hands.
Captain Zhang held Lao Liu's arm, clutching a banner in his hand—it was specially commissioned by them to be rushed out of the printing factory.
Today's events happened too suddenly. If it weren't for Zhuang Tunan's crucial pull, Lao Liu would have fallen from the fourth floor and would certainly be in grave danger.
If a fatal accident occurs at the construction site, the construction progress will be severely delayed, and as the team leader, he will certainly not escape the joint responsibility for inadequate supervision and will inevitably suffer the consequences.
So, taking advantage of the early hour, he hurriedly pulled Old Liu over, making sure he could express his gratitude to Zhuang Tunan and thank him for saving his life in person.
Old Liu, this simple and honest man, has two sons and three daughters.
Zhuang Tunan's pull not only saved his life, but also the future of his entire family.
Hearing someone call his name, Zhuang Tunan immediately stood up reflexively. "I'm here. Hey? Captain Zhang, Lao Liu, what brings you here?"
Professor Dong and the old professor in the office also heard the commotion outside.
Although news of Zhuang Tunan's hand injury had spread throughout the design institute by the afternoon, everyone initially thought it was an accident. After all, they were busy with work and the drawings were in urgent need, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
"Tu Nan, I brought Lao Liu here specifically to thank you."
"You not only saved Old Liu today, but you also saved his whole family."
Upon hearing this, Old Liu's eyes reddened, and he quickly walked a few steps to Zhuang Tunan, bowing deeply to him.
"Thank you, Tu Nan. From now on, you will be my savior. I will never forget this kindness for the rest of my life."
When Captain Zhang saw the old professor and Professor Dong walking towards them, he quickly and respectfully handed over the banner in his hand, saying sincerely.
"Professor Dong, the situation was really urgent at the time. If Tu Nan hadn't acted quickly and pulled him back, Lao Liu might have been killed. Our entire construction team will never forget Tu Nan's heroic rescue today. We must accept this banner."
The old professor walked over with a smile and gently patted Zhuang Tunan on the shoulder.
"Tu Nan, well done! You are a true hero who acted bravely and righteously. You deserve this banner. Let's hang it on the office wall so everyone can see that our design institute has produced a hero."
After saying that, the old professor looked down at Zhuang Tunan's injured right hand and gave him some concerned advice.
"Your right hand is injured, which is related to drawing. You should rest well these few days. By the way, let Wanshu take care of you. Anyway, there's only one week left before the holiday, so you can use this time to recover properly."
Captain Zhang immediately nodded in agreement and added to the statement.
"Tu Nan's cut was very deep, which scared us a lot. Fortunately, we took him to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that luckily no bones or tendons were damaged, otherwise it would definitely affect the function of his hand in the future. Tu Nan is a good person who is rewarded."
Old Liu quickly and carefully placed the fruit and pastries he was carrying on the table. "I haven't received my salary yet, and I don't have much money, so I just bought some snacks and fruit. Tu Nan, please don't mind."
Professor Dong frowned slightly as he looked at Zhuang Tunan, feeling both angry and relieved.
That brat, when I asked him just now, he seemed so relaxed and said there was no big problem.
If he injures a tendon and can't hold a pen anymore, it will ruin his future, and he'll have nowhere to cry.
But you have to admit, Zhuang Tunan really showed some manly spirit when it mattered. He's a good student, no wonder he was personally trained by Zhuang Tunan.
