"ah?!"

The man on the blind date was initially clutching his head and complaining of pain.

Upon hearing this, he scrambled to his feet and pointed to a spot nearby, saying, "Isn't there a security camera over there?"

"broken."

Gong Yanli answered calmly.

The man on the blind date was truly surprised to find that the surveillance cameras at the most famous and upscale private hospital in the northern part of the city were broken!

He pointed at Gong Yanli and said, "Then what about you? You be my witness. Did you see her hit me just now?"

Ji Tong looked at Gong Yanli with some nervousness.

The last time she crossed paths with Gong Yanli was several years ago. She not only scolded the man but also blocked him. Their relationship wasn't very good, and she wasn't sure if Gong Yanli would help her.

Gong Yanli looked down at the well-dressed man on their blind date, who was sitting on the ground trying to cheat her, and her expression was indifferent.

"I've never seen anyone so disgraceful to men like you before, and I'm not going to testify for you." After saying that, the man turned to Ji Tong and said, "Where are you going? I'll take you."

The man on the blind date was furious.

But Gong Yanli was taller than him and looked very strong, so he didn't dare to fight him.

All I could do was yell from behind, "Dare you tell me your name? I'm going to the hospital to complain about you!"

Gong Yanli stopped, turned to the man she was meeting on a blind date and said, "My name is Gong Yanli. Gong means palace, Yan means scholar, and Li means inside and outside. Go ahead and sue me."

The man on the blind date stood still for a second and asked, "Which character is 'yan' in 'Wenyan'?"

"Pfft, hahaha." Ji Tong couldn't help but burst out laughing. "If I were you, I'd rather not know than ask. It's the 'Yan' in 'color,' the 'Yan' without the 'page,' understand? Mr. Illiterate?"

The man on the blind date didn't care about Ji Tong's mockery: "Fine, I'll go to the administration building and complain about you right now. You're just trying to be a hero here, aren't you? I'll make sure you lose your job tomorrow!"

Gong Yanli only said to Ji Tong, "Let's go."

The man she was set up with didn't come along.

Ji Tong took a few steps before turning back. Seeing the man she was on a blind date heading towards the administration building, she asked somewhat anxiously, "Um... if he reports you, what kind of punishment will you receive?"

No.

The answer crossed Gong Yanli's mind, but she didn't say it aloud.

Instead, he asked Ji Tong, "What other words can you make with the character '彦' in this sentence?"

Ji Tong was stunned.

She never expected the man to turn around and do this again.

She had thought about it herself when she laughed at the guy she was meeting on a blind date.

She couldn't think of any common phrases to use the character "彦" in Gong Yanli's name. If she hadn't known it beforehand, she probably wouldn't have been able to figure out which character it was.

"I don't know! I'm illiterate, okay!" Ji Tong quickened her pace. "And I even cared about you? I was just being nosy. What does your being fired from the hospital have to do with me!"

"They won't fire you." Gong Yanli followed a few steps behind. "At most, they'll deduct your year-end bonus."

At Shenghe Hospital, the usual punishment for doctors is to take away their year-end bonus.

He also set this rule.

Shenghe Hospital is a company under the Gong family. Gong Yanli is the vice president here, but he is just pushing some complicated matters out.

But within the St. Union Hospital, he absolutely wielded the most power.

The dean couldn't possibly challenge him.

Ji Tong was actually faking her anger.

She's almost 30, past the age of being unable to distinguish right from wrong.

She knew that Gong Yanli had helped her, and she also knew that his words were meant to change the subject.

Ji Tong stood there, somewhat conflicted, and asked, "So... how much was your year-end bonus?"

"Not necessarily. After all, I am the vice dean, and I also receive some bonuses. So even though my year-end bonus was deducted, I still have other income."

In Gong Yanli's income structure, the income from the position of vice dean is very small.

The vast majority of his income comes from dividends from Shenghe Hospital, as well as from his holdings in the Gong family business.

Ji Tong still felt a little guilty. "So... how much was your year-end bonus last year?"

What are you doing?

“You did help me after all, so I know what I’m doing. If I can handle it, I’ll give you a portion so you can lose less.” Ji Tong’s heart was bleeding as she spoke, and she added, “Of course, I didn’t ask you to be so generous in helping me, so if your year-end bonus is deducted a lot, I can’t give it all to you. I can’t bear to do that.”

Gong Yanli really found Ji Tong very interesting.

He recalled last year's year-end bonus, understating the figure: "About five and a half million."
