"Is it possible that you left it at the company and didn’t bring it back? Why don’t I go to your office to pick it up for you later?"
He Qianhui shook her head quickly; she hadn’t drunk any alcohol yesterday.
"I’m sure I brought it back. The only possibility is that I threw it sowhere and forgot about it. Could you go look for it in the car?"
Zhang Hao didn’t hesitate, and imdiately changed his shoes to go downstairs.
As soon as he opened the car door, he saw the black handbag. Zhang Hao imdiately sent He Qianhui a ssage to reassure her, letting her know that he had found the bag.
But the mont he picked it up, Zhang Hao felt the weight of the bag.
He couldn’t help but wonder what could be inside, was it a piece of iron?
Carrying the bag back, he saw that He Qianhui hadn’t eaten yet.
Zhang Hao couldn’t help but urge her, "What kind of important matter could make you lose your appetite?"
"Today’s als are all on ; you just rest at ho."
He Qianhui knew that so things weren’t urgent at that very minute.
"Alright, I got it, but why would the hospital just give you a promotion and a raise for no reason? Did you make another significant contribution to the hospital?"
Zhang Hao shook his head repeatedly, "Not at all, what capabilities do I have to contribute that much to the hospital?"
"Originally, the hospital had chosen two people for promotion, one was , and the other was the Director of Surgery."
"But the Director of Surgery imdiately said that he wasn’t willing to be promoted. Firstly, he felt his abilities were limited, and secondly, he wanted to focus on treating and saving patients."
"So, in the end, the hospital leadership promoted instead and even said I was young and could do more for the hospital."
"But I always feel like there’s a catch to this arrangent. Can you help look at it and see if there’s any issue?"
"If there’s a problem, I’ll turn it down early and let the hospital arrange for soone else."
At this, He Qianhui also couldn’t figure it out on the spur of the mont.
"Maybe the hospital leadership values you and wants to provide you with more opportunity to excel. After all, this is a good thing, isn’t it?"
Whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, it had already happened, and there was no room for regret, so Zhang Hao could only accept it.
He Qianhui ate her breakfast in a hurry and also complinted Zhang Hao’s cooking, which had improved a lot from before.
Then she quickly devoted the rest of her ti to reading the materials.
Zhang Hao didn’t want to disturb her and, wanting to make her reading more comfortable, he also specially cut so fruit and put it beside her.
In this way, she could eat and read at the sa ti, combining work and leisure.
Seeing that the fridge at ho was nearly empty, Zhang Hao’s first thought was to go to the supermarket to buy so things.
Initially, he wanted to ask He Qianhui to co with him, but seeing how focused she was, he discarded that idea.
Arriving at the supermarket alone, he first went to the vegetable section.
Since he arrived early today, the vegetables were all fresh. He picked so of his favorites and He Qianhui’s favorites and put them in the shopping cart.
He also bought so snacks. The supermarket wasn’t crowded that early in the morning, so there was no need to wait in line for checkout.
Zhang Hao one by one took the items out of the cart, and the cashier quickly scanned the barcodes with the scanner in hand.
"Mr. Zhang, you’re buying so much at once; is there a party at your place?"
"Not at all, I’m off today and just wanted to make sothing nice for my girlfriend. I’m not even sure what she’d like to eat today."
"So I bought all sorts of things, and whatever we don’t eat, I’ll just put in the fridge."
The cashier smiled faintly as she scanned the last item.
Zhang Hao then flashed his paynt code, laden with two large bags of items.
When he got ho, he found that He Qianhui had fallen asleep on the sofa.
She had eaten half of the fruits he had cut for her, and regarding the spread-out materials, it seed she had only flipped through a couple of pages.
After tucking her under a blanket, Zhang Hao grabbed so items and headed to the kitchen, where he already had planned out today’s lunch in his mind.
As he busied himself with cooking and was washing the vegetables, he suddenly heard He Qianhui talking in her sleep from the living room.
"No, no, stop, don’t do this, I have a husband," she mumbled.
At first, he didn’t think much of what she said, especially the last line, which piqued Zhang Hao’s interest.
Without even taking off his apron, he quickly walked over.
He too was curious what exactly He Qianhui was dreaming about.
Could it be so tall, muscular hunk?
But then He Qianhui slept peacefully afterward, not saying another word.
Zhang Hao finished making lunch and then shook her awake.
"Wake up, it’s ti for lunch," he said.
Rubbing her eyes, He Qianhui realized it was already past eleven and let out an exclamation.
Slapping her legs, she said, "How did I fall asleep again? I’ve just wasted an entire morning."
"The manager asked to finish reading these docunts ASAP. I absolutely must not sleep this afternoon. Are you going to use the study today?" she asked.
Zhang Hao shook his head.
"That’s good, then. I need to use the study this afternoon to go through these docunts. You better not disturb ," she said.
"Then I’ll just play so gas. My ga account hasn’t been logged into for over half a year," he replied.
And just like that, the two of them had their afternoon planned out.
After lunch, He Qianhui took a short rest before taking the thick folder into the study.
Zhang Hao was still very considerate, preparing coffee and so snacks for her.
Before he left, he made sure to remind her to work hard in the afternoon and not to fall asleep after just two pages.
Upon hearing this, He Qianhui knew he was making fun of her.
She thought about throwing sothing at him but decided against it upon realizing everything at hand was quite expensive.
So, she ignored Zhang Hao.
As the door shut, the study imdiately fell silent.
Zhang Hao returned to the bedroom and turned on the computer. It wasn’t a problem to enjoy a round in the online ga during his rare day off.
While the login screen took its ti to load, Zhang Hao recalled that he had started playing this ga in university.
Back then, he had all the ti in the world and would spend every day gathering materials and crafting equipnt with his teammates, until he graduated and it was ti to find a job.
His gaming ti grew shorter and shorter. In his mory, the last ti he played was already over half a year ago.
Having not augnted his character in six months, he figured he probably couldn’t beat players of the sa level anymore.
After wandering around in the ga for a bit, he found it uninteresting; the friends in his list seed to have been offline for a long ti too.
He completed a few minor tasks and then felt the ga wasn’t that fun anymore.
He logged off in a picturesque spot, unsure when he would log in again—maybe not until the distant future.
Zhang Hao then went to the living room and finished off the remaining half plate of fruit.
Just then, he saw He Qianhui co out of the study, massaging her temples and looking exhausted.
"These materials are so hard to get through. It’s like there are two little people fighting in my head," she said.
"One tells to rest and sleep right away, while the other insists there isn’t much ti left and urges to read quicker, warning that I won’t be able to complete the task the company has given if I don’t finish," she explained.
Zhang Hao gave a small smile, his gaze landing on the cup in her hand.
It had not been long, and she had already finished such a large cup of coffee.
