After seeing off the old lady, Zhang Hao returned to the departnt and saw that the young nurse hadn’t left yet, so he went over to urge her a bit more.
"Alright, alright, we can deal with these things tomorrow. It’s ti to get off work. If you don’t leave now, the hospital will be closing soon."
The young nurse looked at the ti and saw that an hour had already passed.
"I know, Mr. Zhang, I’ll pack up my things and go."
Zhang Hao also finished packing up, and left the departnt together with the young nurse.
As they walked toward the hospital entrance together, the young nurse hurried her pace from ti to ti, seemingly trying to catch up with Zhang Hao.
Noticing this, Zhang Hao intentionally slowed down his steps.
"You’ve been busy in my departnt all day, how do you feel? Can you adapt?"
The young nurse nodded vigorously: "No problem at all, since the head nurse asked to co over, it must be because she trusts in my abilities."
"She also believes that I’m up to the task, so I can’t let her down. Don’t worry, Doctor Zhang, I will definitely complete the tasks you’ve assigned to very well."
Zhang Hao was also very reassured that the young nurse could think this way.
"Good, then go ho early tonight and get so rest. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself."
"Then I’ll go over there to catch the bus, though I’m not sure if there are any buses left at this ti."
Zhang Hao checked the ti and saw that it would take about five or six minutes to walk to the bus stop, but the last bus was arriving in one minute.
"How about this, I’ll give you a ride ho. Where do you live?"
After saying this, Zhang Hao suddenly had a feeling as if it were from another lifeti—as if he had said similar words to soone else before.
"I live quite far from here, Mr. Zhang."
"No problem."
The two of them got into the car, with the young nurse sitting in the passenger seat, and Zhang Hao sent a ssage to He Qianhui in advance.
He told her that he would be coming ho a bit late, and He Qianhui, of course, didn’t ask why he was going to be late.
Instead, she sent him a voice ssage, which he played aloud.
"Then can you co to pick up from the company in an hour? I have to work overti tonight. You don’t need to bring anything to eat; I don’t want to have dinner at the company."
The young nurse had just buckled her seatbelt when a soft voice ca from the phone.
At the sa ti, Zhang Hao replied, "Okay, got it."
After responding to the ssage, Zhang Hao opened the navigation app on his phone and entered the address given by the young nurse.
He started driving according to the navigation route, and the young nurse didn’t say anything inappropriate during the drive.
But Zhang Hao could tell from her words and actions that she was very nervous.
"Are you this nervous just riding in the sa car with ? I won’t bite."
"No, it’s just that you’re the chief, and I’m just a nurse, so of course I’m nervous."
"Then relax, after so ti you won’t be nervous anymore. Our departnt has a good atmosphere."
The car fell silent again, but soon the young nurse mustered up her courage.
"Mr. Zhang, I heard from the head nurse that you have a girlfriend. When do you plan to get married? Will your colleagues in the departnt have to give you red envelopes then?"
"There’s no need for red envelopes. I’ll invite you all for wedding drinks and wedding candies. But about getting married, it might not happen for another year or two. Let’s wait and see."
The young nurse thought it strange: "Mr. Zhang, I heard in school that the longer you date, the less likely you are to get married."
"If you really want to get married, it’s a decision made in the heat of the mont. How long have you been with your girlfriend?"
Zhang Hao couldn’t respond imdiately but counted in his mind.
Less than a year in total.
With that thought, the matter of getting married had to be postponed a bit longer.
As they chatted, they reached the destination, and the young nurse hurriedly jumped out of the car.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang; drive safely on your way back."
Zhang Hao nodded in response, turning his car around at the intersection ahead, heading directly towards He Qianhui’s company.
Once he arrived at his company, it was still very noisy inside, but this ti, it wasn’t due to colleagues arguing, but rather the hustle and bustle of busyness.
"The docunt, give the docunt!"
"Where’s the material? Isn’t the photocopy ready yet? I need it by tomorrow."
Watching others bustling about, He Qianhui sat at her desk like an outsider, occasionally lifting her water cup for a drink.
Not a trace of urgency could be seen on her face.
Seeing Zhang Hao co in and wave to her, she waved back, but this ti, both chairs next to He Qianhui were taken, so Zhang Hao could only stand by her side.
"What’s up?"
"Nothing much, just give another five minutes and I’ll be off work."
Zhang Hao looked at the ti and didn’t rush her; indeed, he could see that He Qianhui had already shut down her computer and had her bag packed up.
She had unplugged her phone charger and everything, clearly ready to leave work.
As for the others, they were still busy,
"How co you’re the only one so free and easy?"
"Is it bad that I’m a bit more relaxed? Oh by the way, we got paid today. I’ll take you out for a nice al in a bit."
"Great, I’ve also prepared a gift for you."
The ntion of a gift made He Qianhui ecstatic, "What kind of great thing is it?"
"You’ll find out once we head downstairs."
Their conversation naturally reached the ears of other colleagues.
"Xiaohui, you’re too lucky, Doctor Zhang is always preparing gifts for you, unlike my boyfriend."
"For our second anniversary the other day, he only sent a two hundred yuan red packet."
"Saying I should treat myself to sothing good, what can I get with two hundred yuan here?"
Facing her colleague’s envy, He Qianhui actually wanted to keep a low profile, but her status didn’t allow it.
"Two hundred yuan is not bad, I rember your boyfriend just changed to a new job, didn’t he?"
"Changing jobs ans he needs to adjust, maybe that two hundred yuan is his al budget for a week."
As soon as the ti ca, He Qianhui pulled Zhang Hao and hurriedly left the company, fearful that if they stayed a second longer, the manager would co out of his office.
Coming down to the ground floor of the company, the sky had already darkened, and Zhang Hao took a big bouquet of flowers and a jewelry box from the back seat of his car.
"When I was leaving work today, I gave a colleague a ride ho, and she asked when the two of us are getting married."
"Guess how I answered," said Zhang Hao as he opened the jewelry box.
He took out a gold necklace from inside, the necklace was a dull gold color, and the style didn’t seem particularly attractive either.
"Everyone else is gifting platinum, and you’re giving gold, isn’t that old-fashioned?"
"What’s old-fashioned about it? Do you know how much this necklace costs?"
He Qianhui naturally knew. Zhang Hao was a very pragmatic person, and he never spared an extra thought on impractical things.
So it wasn’t hard to understand why he bought a pure gold necklace.
"Is this solid gold? How many grams is it? I hope I don’t float in the water when I go for a bath."
Seeing He Qianhui say this, Zhang Hao gave her a light knock on the forehead.
"Am I that kind of person? If I buy, I buy the real stuff; if I were to get you a fake one, I’d get you one as thick as your wrist."
He Qianhui laughed at his words, and although the gold jewelry seed a bit tacky, after putting it on her neck, she suddenly found the necklace quite pretty.
"I got the necklace, what about the two gold bracelets and the gold ring? When will you buy those for ?" He Qianhui asked.
"That’s going to have to wait until we’re married. Let save up so more money; as you know, the price of gold isn’t cheap these days."
