Ryan Bolton looked at the short-statured yet proud Secretary Thompson standing out among the crowd, deeply shaken by the invisible aura of authority radiating from him. Seventh rank! Seventh rank is already this impressive? I thought he was some prince from a noble family. Looks like being an official in this era is really something! After sleeping for 1,396 years, Ryan Bolton suddenly felt a strong desire in his heart—he wanted to become an official, to be the bright moon among the stars, not for anything else, but for that sense of satisfaction from standing above all and commanding attention.

After the leaders left, the interns gradually dispersed. No one but Sophie Harris knew about Ryan Bolton's miraculous actions tonight. Sophie Harris was clearly full of curiosity about him, always walking by his side, wanting to ask about the reduction technique, but it seemed Ryan Bolton had even more questions. Most of their conversation was a back-and-forth, with Ryan Bolton usually asking and Sophie Harris answering.

It was already ten o'clock at night. The interns gathered in small groups outside the main entrance, excitedly discussing, still immersed in this unprecedented emergency experience.

"Xiaoqing!" Megan Clark came bouncing over to Sophie Harris, but when she saw Ryan Bolton beside her, her previously joyful smile instantly turned cold and hostile as she asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ryan Bolton didn't have any fondness for this chatty girl either. He was about to say goodbye when he saw John Green, who had just finished work, coming out. He greeted the interns warmly, "You all did a great job tonight!"

Megan Clark smiled and said, "Teacher Green, we helped you out so much tonight, shouldn't you show your appreciation?" The other students joined in, egging him on.

John Green smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll treat everyone to dinner at the Erbu Street night market!" He glanced at Sophie Harris, intentionally or not. Sophie Harris's long black eyelashes lowered gently, as if avoiding John Green's gaze. Ryan Bolton's sharp eyes immediately sensed that this Teacher Green probably had some improper thoughts about the beautiful Sophie Harris. Beast! In Ryan Bolton's mind, teachers should never have ambiguous feelings toward their students.

Ryan Bolton originally didn't want to go, but Sophie Harris quietly invited him to join. He never had any resistance to beautiful women, and after a busy night, he was indeed a bit hungry, so with the mindset of getting a free meal, he followed everyone to the Erbu Street night market.

In the early 1990s, bicycles were still the most common means of transportation. Surgeon John Green already owned a Jincheng Suzuki 125. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he had already become the prince charming in the hearts of the unmarried nurses at the hospital, and his appeal extended to these inexperienced female interns who had just entered the hospital.

Erbu Street wasn't far, about five hundred meters from the county people's hospital. The seven interns who accepted the invitation all walked, while John Green rode his sapphire blue Jincheng Suzuki alongside them. Sophie Harris and Ryan Bolton walked shoulder to shoulder, which not only surprised the other interns but also made John Green feel frustrated. Who does this guy think he is? How can he be so oblivious? Although he was annoyed, as a teacher, he had to maintain at least some composure, especially in front of Sophie Harris. His interest in Sophie Harris wasn't just because of her outstanding looks, but also her privileged family background. Sophie Harris's father, James Harris, was the director and party secretary of Jiangcheng First People's Hospital, and her uncle, Paul Harris, held even more power as the director of the Jiangcheng Finance Bureau. Both were high-ranking officials. If he could climb the social ladder of the Zuo family, transferring to a city-level hospital would be a piece of cake, and his future career would be smooth sailing.

Sophie Harris had no idea about John Green's calculations. She was low-key by nature, and chose to intern at a county hospital precisely to avoid unnecessary trouble. Of course, she also wanted to stay away from her family's sphere of influence, so not many classmates knew about her background.

John Green smiled and said, "Sophie Harris, how about I take you over first? We can order the food, so when everyone arrives, we can eat right away!"

Although the interns had just left school, some things were still obvious at a glance. Quite a few of the male students couldn't help but feel a bit upset—if someone else wanted to pick the flowers from their own garden, who wouldn't feel unbalanced? But he was a teacher, after all, not someone these poor students could compare to.

Sophie Harris smiled faintly, "I prefer to walk, Teacher Green. Why don't you take Megan Clark over first?" Her subtle rejection left John Green a bit embarrassed.

Megan Clark unceremoniously jumped onto the back seat of the motorcycle, grabbing John Green's waist. "I don't want to walk. If you won't ride, I will!" Ryan Bolton watched coldly from the side. This girl was clearly helping John Green out of his awkwardness, and there was a high chance she had some secret deal with him. When Brian Bolton was alive, his favorite places were the palace and the brothel—both hotbeds of intrigue. So even the slightest clue allowed him to immediately deduce the underlying secrets.
