Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Want to Be Her Little Brother
“It’s my shoulder that hurts, I wonder if it’s periarthritis. It’s been quite painful lately,” Qiu Shuai said as he rubbed his thick shoulder.
Su ixi looked at him, “Stretch your arms out to the sides.”
Qiu Shuai did so.
Su ixi rose from her seat, took one of his hands, pulled it back a bit, then grabbed the other hand to touch the first one.
“Does this hurt?”
“A bit.”
“Minor periarthritis. I’ll prescribe so ointnt for you. Pay and then pick up the dicine.”
Upon finishing, Su ixi pressed the buzzer for the next patient.
Qiu Shuai quickly smiled, “Dr. Su, I know your husband Mr. Gu. He was at my bar just a few days ago.”
“You own a bar too?”
“Yes.”
Why do all the fat guys own bars? Su ixi thought.
Isn’t Xi Wanlin’s husband, Li Hengze, a bar owner too?
The next patient had already co in, so Su ixi asked, “Do you need anything else? If not, I need to get back to work.”
“Dr. Su, let’s exchange WeChat contacts. If my shoulder has more issues, I might need to consult you.”
Su ixi said, “If it still hurts later, just co register directly. I hardly ever look at my phone.”
“That’s fine, that’s fine,” Qiu Shuai didn’t persist.
…
In the evening, Su ixi finished her shift.
Just as she left the hospital, she felt soone following her.
She looked back and saw Qiu Shuai and a man about thirty, dressed in flamboyant attire and wearing a chunky gold chain.
Qiu Shuai, young, appearing only around 25, but the thirty-year-old man seed to take orders from him.
With many people at the hospital entrance, Su ixi wasn’t afraid. She walked straight up to them and asked, “Are you looking for ?”
At the sa ti, she slipped her hand into her pocket, ready to press the ergency alarm if needed.
Spotting Su ixi’s wariness, Qiu Shuai quickly said, “Dr. Su, please don’t misunderstand, we an no harm. I heard you were followed after work before, so I ca with one of my subordinates to protect you. His na is Zhao Gongji.”
Zhao Gongji? Quite a strange na.
Qiu Shuai clarified, “It’s a nickna, his real na is Zhao Ji.”
Seeing the beautiful Su ixi, Zhao Gongji couldn’t help but stare a few extra seconds, but knowing her status, he dared not think further.
Zhao Gongji said, “Previously, I was involved in a sche to fra you, although you beat up those two guys who were following you. Still, our boss is worried about your safety, so he sent to protect you after work.”
“You guys? Protect after work?” Su ixi asked.
Qiu Shuai grinned, “Yes, from now on, we’ll call you Sister Xi. We will be like your younger brothers.”
…
Su ixi gave a slight, embarrassed smile, “Thanks, but I don’t need it.”
Zhao Gongji said, “Don’t say that, Sister Su. My boss is serious. To make up for it, why don’t we add each other on WeChat? I’ll be ready whenever you call.”
Su ixi asked, “Are you just trying to curry favor with my husband?”
Qiu Shuai quickly said, “Originally, yes, but after seeing your capabilities, I do admire you.”
This chubby guy sure has a way with words.
Seeing Su ixi was unmoved, Qiu Shuai hastily added, “Or maybe I should introduce myself in more detail. Actually, I’m a rich second generation. My family sells tea and has recently started growing coffee. Plus, we own several resorts. Sister Xi, you and Brother Wei should co vacation with us soti; food and lodging on .”
“Are you trying to bribe him and make him commit errors?” Su ixi asked.
Qiu Shuai panicked, “Then, how about just being friends? I heard Sister Xi is from Feng City, new to Yun City, right? The saying goes: having more friends makes the journey easier, doesn’t it?”
“Friendships are based on fate; stop following .” Su ixi smiled at them.
Just as she turned around, Qiu Shuai and Zhao Gongji followed again. Su ixi deliberately slowed her steps until Zhao Gongji caught up. Suddenly, she turned, grabbed his hand, and kicked his knee pit.
Unprepared, Zhao Gongji imdiately fell to his knees.
He stared at Su ixi in shock. What just happened? How did he suddenly get knocked down?
Su ixi said, “See, none of you are a match for , yet you talk about protecting . Stop it, go back where you ca from.”
With that, she quickly walked away.
Qiu Shuai stood there watching Su ixi.
Truly impressive.
This little brother, he was determined.
…
That night, Su ixi called Gu Wei and told him about the incident.
Gu Wei couldn’t help but mock, “Those two cowards.”
“I’m not used to dealing with these people; it feels uneven, too complicated.”
Gu Wei said, “Zhao Gongji, though he might do so unethical things for money, is actually good to his subordinates and loyal to his boss. If I hadn’t provoked him a few days ago, he wouldn’t have fought with , nor would he have exposed Xi Wanlin. But you and he aren’t alike; a nod when you see each other will do.
As for Qiu Shuai, he might seem frivolous, but he’s actually quite cunning and scheming. If you hit it off, making a friend might not be bad.”
Su ixi laughed, “What fate could I possibly share with him? He runs a bar, and I’m a doctor; we don’t sh.”
“I’ll leave it to you,” Gu Wei said.
“How’s your career transition coming along?” Su ixi asked.
“It’s finalized. There’s going to be a demobilization ceremony soon, and family can attend. Oh, and mom might co too.”
Hearing about Qiu Yurou, Su ixi felt a bit annoyed.
But she is Gu Wei’s mother, after all, it’s only natural she would co.
“That’s fine, let know when, and I’ll arrange my schedule in advance.”
…
Today, Su ixi went to schedule her shifts with the chief, just having finalized when Wang Bing also ca along.
Although Wang Bing was wearing a mask and glasses, her eyes were visibly red, clearly having been crying.
“Chief, I’d like to take a leave today.”
“Are you sure? You have a surgery today; if you don’t co, Dr. Zhou will be overwheld.”
“I… then never mind, Chief, I won’t take the leave.”
“What’s wrong?” both the chief and Su ixi asked.
Wang Bing shook her head, “Just so family issues, wanted to take a break, but it’s okay now. I can pull myself together and make sure it doesn’t affect my work.”
“Alright, if you’ve decided to work, then work diligently.”
“I understand.”
Su ixi was also in outpatient service today, but once she was off at noon, she went to find Wang Bing.
“Wang Bing, shall we go to the cafeteria for lunch together?”
Wang Bing took off her mask, washed her hands, and said, “Sure.”
“Wang Bing, how are the issues at ho going?”
During lunch, Su ixi asked.
