When did your headaches start?

If time aligns with her expectations, then everything makes sense.

Gu Zhun rubbed his temples. Every time he tried to recall important information, a piece of the puzzle would be removed.

"I can't remember, it was..."

"The doctor is making rounds and checking the wound."

The doctor who performed the surgery last night walked in with a group of people and pointed at Gu Zhun.

"This is the medical miracle of last night. He endured 10 injections without any anesthesia."

After saying that, he put on gloves and examined Gu Zhun's wound. "It's healing quite well, there's no infection. It seems your wife is taking good care of you."

Finally, he gave Shen Beitang some instructions and post-operative care.

Gu Zhun sat on the bed, slowly pondering those two words.

Wife...

Then, looking up at Shen Beitang who was diligently remembering the doctor's orders, a ridiculous smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"The doctor said you can't eat spicy food or get it wet for the next few days, and also..."

Shen Beitang read aloud all the precautions the doctor had mentioned earlier.

"Wife."

Seeing that she didn't react, Gu Zhun leaned closer and called out, "Wife."

Who are you calling your wife?!

Shen Beitang almost reached out and hit Gu Zhun on the head with her phone, but stopped herself when she saw the gauze on the back of his head.

"Don't take advantage of me."

"Did you sign my surgery consent form last night?" Gu Zhun asked.

"Yes." Shen Beitang felt a little guilty when asked. Couldn't he sign it?

Gu Zhun smiled and shook his head, without saying a word.

Because she lost her parents at a young age, she didn't want Aunt Lin to worry.

Therefore, Gu Zhun authorized Su Yiquan to sign the surgical consent form, as Su Yiquan was a doctor and knew how to handle the situation.

Because apart from Su Yiquan, he really couldn't think of anyone else he could entrust with this matter.

The section for his family members is always blank...

"Could you sign the family consent form for me in the future?"

"No." Shen Beitang said resolutely.

"One surgery isn't enough, you want to have it done several times?"

Gu Zhun breathed a sigh of relief. So that was the reason. "Then, can you sign the other family member section in the future?"

Shen Beitang crossed her arms and looked at Gu Zhun playfully: "That depends on what it is. Sign the good ones and don't sign the bad ones."

"Okay." Gu Zhun drank the porridge clean from Shen Beitang's hand.

Shen Beitang glanced at his watch and said to Gu Zhun, "I'm going out for a bit."

Before leaving, the doctor quietly reminded Shen Beitang to go to his office later.

Seeing the doctor's solemn expression, Shen Beitang's heart sank, but on the surface she pretended that nothing had happened.

"Doctor, is there something you need me for?"

"Look."

Last night, while Gu Zhun was asleep, I still managed to get a brain CT scan done.

"Did he have some kind of brain surgery, and was his memory altered?"

The doctor was also puzzled. He had examined Gu Zhun's head yesterday and found no wounds, but the CT scan showed that certain parts of his brain had been disturbed.

"Can I have this CT scan?"

Shen Beitang put away the CT scan and said, "Please don't tell Gu Zhun about this, doctor."

The doctor nodded knowingly; after all, no one wants to have brain problems at such a young age.

Back in the ward, Gu Zhun was already dressed and sitting on the balcony reading documents.

"You're a patient now, can't you lie down a little longer?"

Shen Beitang shook his head helplessly; this person really was a handful.

"We're not going to Ding Zhiang's company at 10 a.m. today. It's 9 a.m. now, so we can get ready to leave."

While Shen Beitang was in her office, Gu Zhun had already optimized the entire project proposal.

"You should just stay at the hospital and rest today. I've already made arrangements with Mr. Ding, I'll go."

Shen Beitang had contacted Ding Zhiang after the incident to apologize for Gu Zhun's inability to attend today's meeting.

Unexpectedly, Ding Zhi'ang was not angry at all, but rather delighted, emphasizing that everything should be done according to Shen Beitang's wishes.

Gu Zhun paused in his work of tidying up the documents, and said with a displeased expression.

"I won't allow you to go alone. Either I go with you, or you don't go at all."

Gu Zhun was adamant and simply moved a chair to sit at the door of the ward.

"You don't trust me? Are you afraid that my collaboration with Ding Zhiang alone will harm your interests?"

Shen Beitang said confidently, otherwise why would it only be a preliminary initiation meeting?

Gu Zhun was always so cautious, preferring to go even with injuries.

"Think whatever you want, but you can't go alone."

Gu Zhun's answer confirmed her inner thoughts.

"Okay, if you can handle it, then go."

Before leaving, Shen Beitang turned off his pain pump, and Gu Zhun almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

...

Xiongba Group

Shen Beitang looked up at the four large characters above her head, which indeed matched Ding Zhiang's taste.

Starting from the entrance, a fluorescent pink carpet was laid on the ground, and red roses decorated around it.

If Shen Beitang's skin were even a shade darker, she would become the most conspicuous presence on the carpet.

"Welcome, Ms. Shen, to Xiongba Company for your inspection and guidance."

A deafening sound rang out, and more than a dozen young ladies dressed in red formal attire bowed in unison to welcome Shen Beitang inside.

At the end of the sea of ​​flowers, Ding Zhiang, dressed in a fluorescent pink suit with a red rose pinned to his chest, blended perfectly with the carpet.

"Thank you, Ms. Shen, for coming to my Xiongba Company."

As Ding Zhiang spoke, he bent down, intending to give the other person a kiss on the hand.

Huh?

Are Shen Beitang's hands really that big? The knuckles are quite thick too.

"Mr. Ding, this is quite a grand affair."

Gu Zhun pulled his hand back and vigorously wiped it with a silk handkerchief.

The used handkerchief was thrown on the ground without any mercy, and Gu Zhun even stomped on it hard.

Ding Zhiang looked up and realized that he had almost kissed Gu Zhun's hand, and he immediately felt disgusted.

He asked his secretary to bring him mouthwash, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Why is it you? Didn't Miss Shen come by herself?"

Gu Zhun's expression wasn't much better; Ding Zhi'ang had arranged everything along the way as if he were proposing marriage.

"Is this why you came by yourself?"

Shen Beitang was also taken aback by the scene and was momentarily speechless, unable to give any instructions.

If Gu Zhun hadn't reacted quickly, he would have kissed her hand instead.

Ding Zhi'ang is really something. It's just a business meeting, why does it have to be like a welcome party for a leading cadre's inspection tour of the countryside?

"Perhaps Mr. Ding is just being a bit too hospitable."

After all, the business deal with Ding Zhiang hadn't been finalized yet, so they still had to appease him to some extent.

"Miss Shen really understands me."

Ding Zhiang was so moved that he wanted to go forward and take Chen Beitang's hand, but Gu Zhun blocked him from doing so.

"Mr. Ding, please have some self-respect."

Ding Zhiang puffed out his chest and patted it, "I've always been heavy!"
