Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Don’t Think I Don’t Know It Was You Who Set Up
Su ixi nodded, Han Ningzhen wasn’t wrong about that.
“Su ixi, you see everyone is looking out for you, but you can’t just ignore the life and death of the hospital, can you?” “Why don’t you et with the person responsible for purchasing to clear the air?”
After so thought, Su ixi felt that she indeed should talk to the people on the other side, so she agreed, “Okay.”
Han Ningzhen imdiately smiled and said enthusiastically, “It just so happens that I have the contact details for the person in charge on their side. I’ll set up a ti and place, and you must co.”
…
In the evening, Su ixi sent a ssage to Gu Wei: I’ve got sothing on tonight, won’t be back for dinner.
Han Ningzhen had already sent her a ssage, asking her to leave together after work.
She went to the parking lot and saw Han Ningzhen and Li Pingping.
Han Ningzhen was driving Qi Anran’s BMW, and she asked Su ixi, “Do you want to get in my car?”
Su ixi replied, “No need, I’ll drive my own.”
“Alright, then keep up.”
Su ixi drove her own Land Rover, following behind.
Once in the car, a trace of doubt flashed through her mind: Could Han Ningzhen be setting her up?
To et the person responsible for purchasing equipnt, she’s only bringing Li Pingping?
You’d think a hospital official should be present.
But since she was already here, she might as well see what Han Ningzhen was up to.
After driving for over 20 minutes, they arrived at a large shopping mall in the city center.
With the constant flow of people here, surely nothing would happen.
After parking, Han Ningzhen led Su ixi to a grilled fish restaurant and booked a private room inside.
Entering the room, Su ixi saw a chubby man sitting inside.
“Dr. Su, this is Mr. Ma,” Han Ningzhen introduced.
She continued, “Mr. Ma, this is Dr. Su.”
Upon seeing Su ixi, Mr. Ma couldn’t help but light up.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Su ixi, “Dr. Su, hello, I’ve seen your videos. You look a hundred tis better in person than on the videos, even better-looking than those celebrities on TV.”
Su ixi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Wasn’t this about making an apology? By all accounts, Mr. Ma should dislike her, so why did he seem so enthusiastic?
Han Ningzhen, sensing that sothing was off, quickly smoothed things over, “Mr. Ma, shall we order first? We can talk while we eat?”
“Sure,” agreed Mr. Ma.
Han Ningzhen ordered two grilled fish and two bottles of fruit wine.
When the wine was served, they started drinking.
Han Ningzhen, always good at creating a lively atmosphere, kept things from going dull, and Mr. Ma also engaged in lively conversation with her, even going so far as to say, “I had no idea the daughter of the Dean of the Third Hospital was also so good-looking.”
“Mr. Ma, you flatter too much; I’m not as good-looking as Dr. Su.”
Raising his glass to Su ixi, Mr. Ma said, “Dr. Su is indeed beautiful. With such looks, why bother becoming a doctor?”
Su ixi was puzzled; did being beautiful an she couldn’t be a doctor?
“What should I be then?” Su ixi, who could hold her liquor, wasn’t afraid of drinking.
“You should be a flight attendant, or a model, or an actress. If not that, you could be an internet celebrity; just by posting so photos, you’d get lots of tips,” said Mr. Ma.
Su ixi replied indifferently, “I don’t have that talent.”
“I know so agents in the entertainnt industry, how about I introduce a few directors to you? Maybe you could land a lead role,” Mr. Ma toasted Su ixi again.
“Forget it, I’m not cut out for that.”
Su ixi didn’t drink this ti; she felt that Mr. Ma wasn’t a good person.
At this mont, Han Ningzhen nudged Li Pingping. Li Pingping was just a follower, tagging along for the al, unaware of the current situation. Han Ningzhen gestured towards the door, signaling her to leave soon.
As Han Ningzhen picked up her bag, she said to Mr. Ma and Su ixi, “Pingping and I have sothing to take care of, so we’ll be leaving first. Dr. Su, have a good talk with Mr. Ma.”
By this point, Su ixi had already sensed that sothing was amiss.
She directly asked Mr. Ma, “Mr. Ma, I heard that the reason our hospital can’t purchase the phototherapy equipnt is because of ?”
Mr. Ma chuckled, put down his chopsticks, and tried to grab Su ixi’s hand, but she quickly dodged.
“You don’t want to buy the equipnt?” Mr. Ma asked.
“I do, but, Han Ningzhen told that you’re refusing to sell the equipnt to us because of the video.”
Mr. Ma replied, “Yeah, I did see your video, and I thought you were beautiful. If you could spend so ti with , then I would sell the equipnt to your hospital.”
“What do you an by ‘spend so ti’?” Su ixi asked.
“What do you think? After dinner, how about we get a room?” Mr. Ma was straightforward.
Looking at Mr. Ma’s greasy, fat face, not having wiped his mouth after eating fish, his lips and chin all oily, Su ixi felt the urge to vomit at the thought of being intimate with that mouth.Upd@te by n0vgo .c0
“I’m sorry, I think there has been so misunderstanding between us. Han Ningzhen told you had the wrong impression of our company because of the video, so I wanted to clear things up. But I didn’t expect you to have other intentions. I’m not into sleeping with people like that, sorry!”
Su ixi stood up to leave, but Mr. Ma grabbed her arm.
“Dr. Su, don’t go. I really started to like you after seeing the video and now that I’ve t you in person, I like you even more. Just spend one night with , just one night, and I’ll definitely sell the equipnt to you. If you don’t believe , we can sign the contract right now.”
“Let go.” Su ixi tried to shake off his hand.
But Mr. Ma was tall and strong, and Su ixi couldn’t break free.
In desperation, she used the self-defense techniques taught by Gu Wei—knee him in the jaw first, then a kick to his stomach.
She rembered Gu Wei’s words, not to linger after gaining the upper hand; it was ti to run.
Mr. Ma yelled from behind, “You’ll ruin any chance your hospital ever had after treating like this!”
Su ixi paused.
It was regrettable they couldn’t get the equipnt, but this wasn’t her fault. Surely the dean and the deputy dean didn’t tell her the truth because it was all so absurd!
She opened the door and exited the private room, seeing Han Ningzhen and Li Pingping eavesdropping outside.
Li Pingping hurriedly explained, “It’s not my fault. I didn’t know anything. I was just brought here for the al at the last minute; how was I supposed to know that Mr. Ma wanted to sleep with you?”
Han Ningzhen was nervous, but she defiantly said, “I didn’t know either. When my dad said it was all because of you, I thought it was just about the video. Who knew that Mr. Ma would be so awful?”
Su ixi raised her hand and slapped Han Ningzhen hard.
“Han Ningzhen, don’t think I don’t know this was your sche.”
Han Ningzhen didn’t expect Su ixi to hit so hard; she almost couldn’t stand straight as stars danced before her eyes.
But she still argued, “So what if it was ? It’s such an important matter to buy equipnt; shouldn’t you make so sacrifices for the hospital? How did you beco a chief physician, wasn’t that thanks to the hospital’s cultivation? Where would you be without the hospital?”
“I beca a chief physician through my own efforts, unlike you—a nepotism hire who got in through the back door. You’re the one who should pay the price for this,” Su ixi said, then pushed Han Ningzhen towards the private room.
Inside the room, Mr. Ma had just reached the door when Su ixi pushed it open, bumping into him.
As he was about to get angry, Su ixi shoved Han Ningzhen in, and unprepared, he fell backward.
Han Ningzhen didn’t stay on her feet either; she ended up on top of Mr. Ma.
