Su ixi's work today was the sa as usual: busy, with the occasional irritation.
The irritation naturally ca from those with minor aches and pains who still ca to register.
But there were still many genuine patients.
Each ti Su ixi made her rounds, her slots would be booked within half an hour because she was patient, enthusiastic with her patients, and never gave a cold face when they had more questions, always explaining with warmth and instructing them on what to pay attention to.
The most crucial thing was that she genuinely hoped her patients would recover soon, and she would not prescribe dicine recklessly or anything overly expensive.
So hospital doctors would frequently suggest patients be admitted, but Su ixi would analyze the situation first, giving patients a choice. There were thods for treatnt with or without hospital admission—the latter just took a little longer to recover.
At noon, she sent away her last patient only to find soone else sitting down by her side.
Puzzled, she thought she had seen all her appointnts for the morning.
Turning around, she saw Qi Anran.
Qi Anran was still in his white hospital gown, clearly just having finished his shift.
"What are you doing here?" Su ixi asked, not in the best of tempers.
Qi Anran's face was also stern, "Do you think I want to be here?"
"Then why are you?"
Qi Anran pulled out his phone and showed her a photo, "You wrecked my car yesterday. Ningzhen said you have to compensate, at least 2000 yuan because she also paid 100,000 for that car."
"..." Su ixi was so aggravated she almost laughed, "It was because you suddenly braked that I hit you."
Qi Anran dismissed her point, "Su ixi, do you understand traffic rules? Even if I braked first, the fact is you were following too closely. What was the rush? Were you hurrying to et the guy from yesterday's date?"
"It's none of your damn business!" Su ixi swore.
However, her voice was soft and naturally carried a bit of a lisp, so it didn't sound too aggressive.
Qi Anran continued, "Regardless, you must give 2000 yuan today, and it has to be a WeChat transfer. I need to show it to Ningzhen; otherwise, she won't forgive ."
"You blocked when we broke up to please Han Ningzhen, didn't you? How am I supposed to transfer to you?" Su ixi asked.
Qi Anran suggested, "Add . After the transfer, I can just block you again—it's the sa thing."
Su ixi was beyond words, "I've never seen such shalessness. You just demand money and expect to get it? Better call the traffic police then, whatever they say I owe, I'll pay."
After that, she shut down her computer, took off her white coat, and picked up her bag from the desk, "I'm off work now!"
Qi Anran followed her out, "For a re two thousand yuan, do you really intend not to pay?"
"It's not about not intending to; if I'm at fault, let the traffic police penalize . You're not qualified!"
Su ixi had already reached the nurses' station; two nurses were still busy and looked on curiously at their arrival.
Weren't they broken up? Why was Doctor Qi chasing her to the pain clinic?
Maybe Qi Anran felt embarrassed because he stopped chasing after Su ixi.
...
Afternoon.
The product launch of Gu Group went on as scheduled.
Since Gu Cheng had already let his assistant hint that he would be attending the event, many socialites showed up that afternoon, so even flying in from out of town, changing into their evening dresses in taxis right after landing.
Gu Cheng was introducing new products onstage, while Gu Wei sat straight as a rod in a corner of the back row.
After the event finished, it was ti for the cocktail party.
The mont Gu Cheng ca down, he was surrounded by socialites.
And Gu Cheng purposely stood very close to Gu Wei.
"Mr. Gu, I'm Lisa from City B. What a coincidence—I just arrived in Feng City yesterday, and here I am eting you today!" said a girl in a golden evening dress.
Gu Cheng, holding a glass of red wine in one hand and the other hand in his trouser pocket, gave Lisa a faint smile, "You've just co off a plane. Although you've changed into a dress and high heels, your ankles show the marks from your socks, you were wearing sneakers ten minutes ago, weren't you? Would you like to wipe the sweat from your forehead?"
Lisa: "..."
Another socialite approached, "Mr. Gu, I heard you like surfing. I'm quite the expert myself. Maybe we can go together so ti."
Gu Cheng responded indifferently, "Your na is Rose, and you just earned your beginner's level 2 surfing certificate in Australia last month. Though I wasn't there, a friend of mine was a judge. I've seen the list. You've made quite the effort to get close to ."
Rose: "..."
Gu Cheng wasn't giving the won any face, which made so of the more calculating ladies hesitate to approach.
Still, there was a woman who looked quite innocent, holding a piece of cake in her hand.
"Mr. Gu, I heard you like tiramisu. I made this myself, I hope you enjoy it."
Gu Cheng didn't look at the cake, but his gaze lingered on her for a while.
Just as everyone thought Gu Cheng was interested in this woman, he chuckled with disdain.
"You're Zhou Lan from Zhou Group. Your real purpose isn't to have eat your cake. The way you've dressed up now, you've mimicked soone else. You're quite calculating."
Zhou Lan: "..."
...
The cocktail party wasn't over when Gu Cheng left with Gu Wei.
In the car, Gu Cheng said to Gu Wei, "You saw that, right? If a woman wants to get close to you, she will be relentless and spare no effort. So that doctor you ntioned must be the sa. She's a doctor, she might know about your insomnia through certain channels, so she has prepared ds in advance."
Whenever Gu Wei thought of Su ixi, he couldn't help a small smile forming on his lips.
"Dr. Su isn't like that."
"How many tis have you seen her?"
"Just three tis."
"So, you know her well? Give her details, and within an hour, I'll have all her information."
Gu Wei sent Gu Cheng the photo of Su ixi's ID card he had taken yesterday, then said, "Brother, go ahead and check. I believe in Dr. Su."
"You're that certain?"
"The person I choose should not be wrong."
The van stopped in front of Gu Wei's residential complex.
Gu Wei asked, "Do you want to co up for a bit?"
Gu Cheng glanced at the entrance of the complex and frowned, "You're comfortable living here? Why don't I buy you a villa?"
"I'm not used to living in villas."
"You're still being formal with your brother? You know you're my dearest sibling."
"Really, it's not about formality; I like it here."
"Then I'll co up another day, there's still matters to attend to at the company today."
...
Su ixi also finished work.
She hopped on her electric bike and as she left the staff parking area, she saw a black BMW stopped ahead.
A man and a woman stood by the car door, seemingly waiting for her.
It was Qi Anran and Han Ningzhen.
Upon spotting Su ixi coming out, Han Ningzhen nudged Qi Anran, signaling him to go over.
Then Qi Anran blocked Su ixi's path.
"What's the matter?" Su ixi asked.
Qi Anran said, "It's still about the compensation."
