I'm a Landlady in the Apocalypse

Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...

Volume 1_Chapter 190 Do you want to stay in Taoyang?

The next day, Su Tao clearly felt that Zhuang Wan was absent-minded. When she asked her to call Song Yuebin, it took her several seconds to come back to her senses.

"Oh, I'll go now. Sorry, boss, I didn't sleep well last night."

Su Tao held her back and asked:

"What's wrong with you? You didn't feel this distracted even when Taoyang's orders were so high and you pulled all-nighters before. What happened?"

Zhuang Wan thought of Zhong Gaoyi's confession to her last night, and her face suddenly turned red. She stuttered and couldn't speak.

Su Tao said: "If you don't tell me, I will ask Chenxi. She will definitely know."

Zhuang Wan let out two "eh eh" sounds.

Confusion, embarrassment, fear, and anxiety, a series of complex emotions appeared on his face:

"I'm already old, but I didn't expect that there would still be someone who wants to be Chenxi's father."

Su Tao was startled, then smiled and said, showing a row of small white teeth:

"Doctor Zhong, what do you think?"

Zhuang Wan shook her head. "I hadn't thought about this. It was too sudden, so I didn't agree. But seeing how well Chenxi got along with him, I became hesitant."

"Besides, he's not from Taoyang after all. He can only stay in Taoyang for ten days a month at most. He usually has to obey Gu Mingchi's orders and has no control over his own affairs. I don't want to find a father from another place for Chenxi."

Su Tao asked again: "Do you like him?"

Zhuang Wan hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course I have a good impression of him. He is very steady, still cherishes our old friendship, and he is a supernatural being who can save the dying and the wounded."

Su Tao immediately said:

"That's good! Just ask him directly. If you want to be Chenxi's father, that's fine, but you have to come to Taoyang."

Zhuang Wan was stunned: "Gu Mingchi will definitely not agree to let him go."

Su Tao said: "That's something he should find a way to solve. Being Chenxi's father must come at a price. Otherwise, how can he easily get a son, a daughter and a beautiful and capable wife? How beautiful he is."

Zhuang Wan was surprised and felt that what she said made a lot of sense.

"Then I'll ask him today?"

Su Tao: "Go boldly."

Zhuang Wan felt more confident and no longer worried. She became the energetic Manager Zhuang again and happily went to call Song Yuebin.

In front of the clinic building, Zhong Gaoyi was speechless for a moment as he looked at the building that had changed drastically.

Every time he came, it gave him a great shock.

In another half year, I'm afraid that the community hospital that Su Tao mentioned will be fully realized.

Chenxi led him in and introduced joyfully:

"Right in the middle is the nurses' station. They haven't hired anyone yet, so I'm taking over for now. Behind it is the treatment room, there's a pharmacy on the left, and the right is still an office area."

Just then, Grandma Cen suddenly came over. Seeing Zhong Gaoyi, she immediately smiled and said,

"Doctor Zhong is here. Everyone missed you, haha. But I just came to ask Chenxi to help me today. It's a minor problem. I have a little toothache."

Chenxi immediately took Grandma Cen to the clinic, and immediately gave her the cause of the pain and prescribed some medicine:

"You can buy it at Dongyang Hospital. Two courses of treatment should be enough to see results. Eat less spicy food, especially cold food."

Grandma Cen said yes repeatedly, and after standing up, she praised Chenxi to Zhong Gaoyi:

"Chenxi is so capable now. She's basically the one who runs the clinic when you're not around. She's treated a lot of minor illnesses for us, saving us a lot of money and hassle. Otherwise, we would have to go to Dongyang Hospital, queue up for an appointment, and spend half a day and pay a huge amount of money for the consultation."

"But in the end, it's all thanks to your teaching, Doctor Zhong. Chenxi is a child that's destined to be with you. By the way, how old are you this year?"

Zhong Gaoyi smiled bitterly: "Almost forty."

Grandma Cen, the matchmaker, said with a cry of "Ouch":

"Xiaozhuang is 35 this year. You two are really a good match. Listen to my advice as an experienced person. Xiaozhuang is a down-to-earth person. She is also respected and liked by Boss Su. You will enjoy happiness if you marry her."

Zhong Gaoyi felt even more bitter.

He wanted to, but no one agreed to it.

Grandma Cen gushed on:

"When you two become a couple, stay in Taoyang. I heard your old club is in the East District. That's terrible. That place is half as good as Taoyang, okay? Let me tell you, people always go to higher places, and water always flows to lower places. Don't let yourself be wronged when you have the chance."

Zhong Gaoyi wanted to say something, but when he turned around, he saw Chenxi's big, bright eyes.

He suddenly became determined: "Auntie Cen is right."

After Grandma Cen left contentedly, Chenxi couldn't wait to ask:

"Uncle Zhong, will what Grandma Cen said come true?"

"Do you want this to be real?"

Chenxi nodded rapidly: "Yes!"

Zhong Gaoyi touched her hair lovingly and promised: "Okay, I will try my best."

Chenxi jumped up happily and continued to introduce joyfully:

"Uncle Zhong, this is the office that Sister Taozi prepared for you. There's even a water dispenser inside. Sister Taozi said that when I grow up, she'll build me an office next to yours."

Zhong Gaoyi looked at the clean and spacious office with floor-to-ceiling windows, thought of his cramped and crowded room in Dongyang, and shook his head. Yes, people always strive for higher positions.

After so many years of dedicated service, I have repaid Gu Mingchi's kindness.

It's time for him to take control of his own life.

Zhong Gaoyi's arrival helped Meng Qian's leg recover as before, and Song Yuebin's strain was completely healed.

Even Mr. Mei can walk slowly for half an hour with the help of someone.

For a time, Zhong Gaoyi's reputation soared again, and even tens of thousands of admission application emails were added to Taoyang, forcing Meng Qian, who had just recovered, to work overtime to deal with them.

Song Yuebin also said to Su Tao:

"Boss Su, there are so many talented people here. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet them, I'm afraid my injury would have lasted for a few more months. Thank you so much."

Su Tao smiled and said, "Captain Song, you're too polite. We're all friends."

The genuine Song Yuebin was deeply moved:

"Okay, I won't say any more polite words. We plan to leave today. If there's anything Boss Su wants, you can tell me again. If there is, I, Old Song, will do my best to get it for you."

Su Tao thought for a moment and said, "As long as it's seeds and books, I want them, no matter how many. And if possible, I also want crystal cores."

Song Yuebin said, "Seeds and books are easy to find. They're rare, but with the zombie outbreak happening so frequently, everyone's desperate for their lives, so they're not that valuable anymore. But this crystal core...ever since Changjing announced its effects, everyone's been rushing to get it. I can only do my best to find out for you."

Su Tao nodded: "I understand. Thank you for your help, Captain Song."

"Boss Su is too polite! We're leaving now. See you later!"

The "Yueling" convoy sped away in the bright afternoon sun.

Wu Zhen's face was full of anticipation:

"I hope they can bring all kinds of fruit seeds, saplings, etc. I'm really tired of the bare hillside of Panliu Mountain. It would be so beautiful if they could plant fruit trees. Oh, and if they can plant a big banyan tree in Taoyang, I can make a swing for the children to play with."

While some people here were fantasizing about flowers, vegetables and fruits, Zhong Gaoyi was facing the wrath of his boss.

"You want to stay in Taoyang? Zhong Gaoyi, I think you are tired of living."
