Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Seduction?
Thinking about what Gu Cheng had said about won needing a sense of security, Gu Wei knew what he had to do.
He couldn’t let his woman feel anxious, so he firmly told Su ixi, “Ah Xi, I might have had physical contact with so girls inside just now, but I wasn’t the one initiating it, and I got away from them imdiately.”
“…” By saying this, he actually made Su ixi feel embarrassed, as though she was being overly suspicious.
She laughed “haha,” “I’m not… It’s not that I think you did anything wrong.”
Gu Wei suddenly grabbed her hand, which was on the table, and looked at her, “Ah Xi, I actually…”
“What’s wrong?” Su ixi looked at him, and in that mont, he seed like he had a lot to tell her.
Gu Wei wanted to say that he rarely made contact with won; besides his mother, he had only been this close to Su ixi.
But then he suddenly thought about the teasing in the army, where the guys would joke about who was still a virgin, as if it was sothing shaful.
If he told Su ixi that, would she look down on him?
“It’s nothing, I was just thinking… we could go for a walk after dinner,” Gu Wei said.
Su ixi had no objections; it was still early, and she would only be reading at ho, so it might be better to take a stroll.
…
City Third Hospital.
During the morning eting today, Su ixi listened to other doctors discuss the hospital’s plan to purchase dical equipnt.
“Have you heard? The surgery departnt wants to acquire a phototherapy device that speeds up wound recovery significantly. Currently, only three hospitals in the country have it, with Sheng Kang Hospital being the only one in the province.”
Upon hearing this, Su ixi imdiately thought of Gu Wei’s wound.
Indeed, Gu Wei’s wound had healed quickly; in just over ten days, it was almost completely healed, thanks to that machine.
Hence, she listened with keen attention.
“This device is in high demand; right now, Feng City has only one, and all hospitals are scrambling to get it. If we can get this device, our surgery departnt can move up a level, and other departnts will benefit from it too.”
“But with such a hot-ticket item, is there a chance we won’t be able to get it?”
…
anwhile, in the hospital director’s office, the heads of more than a dozen departnts were gathered for a eting.
The hospital director paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking utterly frazzled.
“With First Hospital, Second Hospital, and also Fourth and Fifth Hospitals, as well as all the major affiliated hospitals—even the maternity and child care centers vying for it—our chances at Third Hospital are way too slim. So, you all need to co up with ideas on how we can procure this device.”
The deputy director was first concerned about the cost: “Is the device expensive?”
“It’s not a question of whether it’s expensive or not, we need to buy it regardless of the cost.”
The departnt heads fell silent.
Third Hospital wasn’t the one with the best overall strength in Feng City; the wealthy went to Sheng Kang Hospital, the average folk went to First and Second Hospitals, and those who visited Third Hospital lived nearby and didn’t want to travel far for treatnt.
Then, the deputy director spoke again, “I think I know the person in charge of the procurent company for that equipnt. Maybe I should get in touch with him?”
Upon hearing this, the hospital director said helplessly, “Then why haven’t you ntioned it earlier?”
The deputy director responded, “Because we’re not close. I’ll make an appointnt with him first, to gauge his intentions and see who they’re planning to sell the equipnt to.”
…
During dinner.
Su ixi and Gu Wei also talked about the equipnt.
“Gu Wei, the phototherapy you had at Sheng Kang Hospital was really effective, wasn’t it?”
Gu Wei nodded, “It was very effective. I’ve always been treated there after injuries, my brother Gu Cheng would take .”
Su ixi knew Gu Cheng had connections being a senior executive, so it was no longer a surprise to her.
But still…
“You get injured often? What branch are you in? Why are you always getting hurt?”
“…” Gu Wei quickly explained, “Not really, I’ve only been injured twice. We often have drills and also assist the local police in catching criminals, so minor injuries are inevitable.”
But he believed he wouldn’t face mortal danger with his abilities.
Su ixi didn’t know much about military matters, so she simply nodded.
Then she said, “Our hospital also wants to acquire that phototherapy device, but everyone says it’s very difficult.”
Gu Wei was considering whether he should lend her a hand.
But then he thought about it, the device, even if purchased, would belong to the surgery departnt, and her ex-boyfriend was a surgeon.
Besides, Su ixi was just a doctor, so even if the purchase was successful, the credit wouldn’t be hers.
He said, “These kind of things still rely on competition.”
“I think so too,” Su ixi replied.
After dinner, Su ixi suggested going to practice boxing.
She was really starting to like boxing more and more, not only for improving her physique but also for weight loss, and her colleagues had recently noted she seed much healthier.
Moreover, she hadn’t hugged Gu Wei today, so she needed to find an excuse, lest he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.
…
After an hour of boxing practice, Su ixi still hadn’t found an opportunity to hug Gu Wei.
Gu Wei was just too honest; training was training for him, serious as if he were a drill sergeant on the training ground, making no moves to take advantage of her.
So Su ixi had to create her own opportunity.
She had already tried using low blood sugar and pretending to fall down, what could she use next?
After thinking for a mont, she had an idea!
“Gu Wei, there’s a move I don’t quite understand, could you teach again?”
“Which move?”
“The one with the kick, aiming at the opponent’s waist.”
Gu Wei demonstrated it once and went over the movent again.
Su ixi followed suit, and after she finished, she asked Gu Wei, “Did I do it right?”
“Yeah, you got it,” Gu Wei was puzzled. She had actually mastered that move on her first try, and he wondered why she wanted to go through it again.
After hearing that, Su ixi imdiately pounced into Gu Wei’s arms like a child being praised at kindergarten, then hugged him, “That’s great, I did it!”
Gu Wei was silent.
What did this an? The move was obviously contrived.
Was it flirtation?
He hadn’t expected her to be so forward.
He thought maybe he should take the initiative too, as his injury was almost healed and he should be able to experience that feeling, it was ti to lose the virgin label.Update by n0vgo.co
However, just as he wrapped his arms around her waist, she imdiately let go of him, “Gu Wei, I’ve completed today’s task, thank you for your patient guidance, I’m going to shower now.”
Gu Wei was silent.
Was that not flirtation just now?
…
anwhile.
In a nightclub in Feng City, the deputy director and Mr. Ma, the person in charge from “Kang Cheng” Biotechnology Company, were discussing equipnt procurent.
The deputy director had brought two heads of departnts who were usually close to him, including Mr. Wang.
Being doctors, the three were not great drinkers and all ended up vomiting, but Mr. Ma still hadn’t discussed the equipnt.
The deputy director went to the restroom to vomit and ran into Mr. Wang, who had co to do the sa.
Mr. Wang cursed, “That Mr. Ma is sly as a fox. We’ve had our al and drinks, had our fun, but he just won’t discuss business, calling us his friends, what a joke!”
The deputy director wiped his mouth with a tissue, “That’s how businessn are, we just have to bear with it, we’re the ones who need him.”
They continued drinking until one in the morning, and finally, the deputy director couldn’t hold back anymore, he asked Mr. Ma, “Mr. Ma, about that device… does our City Third Hospital stand a chance?”
Mr. Ma, in his forties, was chubby with a beer belly as big as a woman’s at eight months pregnant.
He let go of the girl he was holding and took out his phone, pulled up a video, and passed it to the deputy director, “This girl, isn’t she a doctor from your hospital?”
The deputy director took a look, and Mr. Wang also leaned in.
As soon as Mr. Wang saw the video, he recognized her, “Isn’t that Su ixi? Last ti her mother was wrongly accused, soone took a covert video.”
