The silence was awkward. Shi Wenwen looked up and met Gao Yue's eyes. Under the streetlight, they could still clearly see each other's expressions. To ease the awkwardness, Shi Wenwen thought for a moment and took the initiative to ask, "By the way, what else did you just tell me?"

"Have you told the people at Renxing Company about your work in the hospital?" Gao Yue asked.

She even heard of Renxing Company for the first time tonight. Shi Wenwen shook her head and said, "I don't know anyone from Renxing Company."

Gao Yue glanced at her suspiciously and said, “Shen Liangchen, who attended the Ke family banquet before, is not only the general manager of Renxing Company, he is also an investor and owns 80% of the shares of Renxing Company.”

"Him?" Shi Wenwen looked surprised and asked, "Did he encounter any problems?"

Gao Yue said, "He was also present at the dinner tonight. Although we are competitors, we have never had a direct conflict. He mentioned you to me during the dinner and told me about your appointment. It's obvious that he is well aware of your movements."

Having said that, he looked at her again.

Shi Wenwen didn't want any more misunderstandings about work between them, so she said, "We just chatted for a while that day. He knew I hadn't decided which hospital to work for yet, so he suggested a Chinese medicine hospital. That's pretty good. Other than that, there's nothing else."

"I'm afraid he came prepared!" Gao Yue sneered.

Shi Wenwen felt that he didn't trust others enough and said, "You think too much."

Gao Yue said: "The Shen family holds 30% of the shares of the Chinese Medicine Hospital."

Shi Wenwen, "..."

Seeing her silence, Gao Yue continued, "This year, the old man of the Shen family is seriously ill, and the three sons of the Shen family have been fighting for the family property. The old man does not intend to divide the family property equally, but to choose the best one among the three sons to inherit it."

"The old man issued an order last month that the genius doctor Shi Wenwen was about to return to China, and he must be recruited to work at the Chinese Medicine Hospital."

The two of them have arrived at the late-night snack shop.

Gao Yue handed the menu to Shi Wenwen and asked her to order what she liked. Shi Wenwen chose two of her favorites, and he also picked out a few of the store's signature dishes.

After the shop owner left with the menu, Gao Yue continued, "Shen Liangchen is a very ambitious strategist, far more than you seem. Before you decided whether to take up a job in Haicheng, the news about you spread like wildfire. Do you know why?"

Shi Wenwen guessed and asked, “Do you think it was Shen Liangchen’s work?”

Gao Yue corrected her tone, "It's not a feeling, it's just how it is."

"What evidence do you have?" Shi Wenwen had only been with Shen Liangchen once, and she had always had the impression that he was an elegant gentleman. It was hard for her to imagine him being so calculating.

"What evidence do you need?" Gao Yue said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, let's take a look and see if Shen Liangchen will make any other moves later."

Shi Wenwen was speechless for a moment.

She did not choose a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, but went to the older Haicheng First Hospital.

It was here that she performed private surgery on Dong Fengping, and this was also the hospital that Jiang Heping recommended to her after she returned to China.

First of all, the old director of the hospital had met her once before, and Dr. Zhao Yangrong, together with Jiang Heping, arranged Dong Fengping's operating table.

They knew her strength best. If she needed anything in the future, at least they would still be able to help her.

What moved Shi Wenwen the most was that the new director allowed her a lot of free time. She didn't have to work on weekends, and there were no strict requirements on her during weekdays. She only needed to work half a month a month. The only requirement was that she had to be on call whenever surgery was needed.

Of course, Shi Wenwen would not be so casual, but not having to work overtime on weekends just happened to meet her needs of taking care of the medicine garden and the leader.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

…

It was almost ten o'clock when the two of them finished their midnight snack. After having enough wine and food, Gao Yue felt more energetic and not sleepy at all.

Shi Wenwen looked at the time several times, looking like she was in a hurry to go home.

Gao Yue said, "I'll take you home."

"No need, it only takes five minutes for me to walk back." Shi Wenwen's residence is very close to the hospital and the company. It only takes five minutes to walk to the hospital and ten minutes to walk to the company.

"It was late that day, and since it only takes five minutes, that's even better. I'll just take a walk to kill time. I'm a little full, so a walk around before going back to rest is just right." Gao Yue had an expression that was uncompromising. "Either let me take you, or you can come back to the company with me. There's a lounge at the company anyway."

And then share half the bed with him?

There was no way Shi Wen would really agree, so of course he chose the former.

But she was also worried that the nearby residents would see her and Gao Yue together, and that the news would reach Shi Qingyuan and Wang Xiaomin's ears, so she deliberately slowed down her pace on the way home, and it took her a few more minutes to get back to the downstairs of her house.

"Okay, I'm here. It's getting late, so you should go back quickly!" Shi Wenwen urged.

Gao Yue said calmly, "I'll see you go upstairs before leaving."

Just then, a couple came back from a walk. Shi Wenwen was nervous. As soon as she heard the footsteps, she turned around and rushed upstairs without thinking.

Gao Yue: "..."

Although the two of them only have a cooperative relationship now, they are still old acquaintances after all.

Isn't it a bit too much for her to run away like she is avoiding a wild beast?

The couple who were coming back from a walk were startled when they saw Gao Yue who was about to leave. It was obvious that he was a stranger, definitely not from the community. The couple couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Where is this guy from? Why does he look so familiar?

After Gao Yue walked away, her husband slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, "I know who it is. It's Gao Yue, the man of the hour in Haicheng. He's mentioned all the time in the financial newspapers. I've seen his picture in the newspaper. He's very handsome, and he's still unmarried. I wonder what kind of girl would catch his eye?"

The wife asked, "What is such a big shot doing in our poor place?"

"Who knew? You scared me!" said the husband, pulling his wife's hand and going upstairs.

…

Shi Wenwen went to the company to handle affairs as usual the next day, and also went to the hospital to work on time on Monday. When she got off work in the evening and just walked out of the hospital, she was suddenly stopped by a car.

"Miss Shi."

The car's window rolled down, and Shen Liangchen's handsome and elegant face appeared before his eyes. He looked at Shi Wenwen, smiled affectionately, and said, "I saw you from a distance and thought I had recognized the wrong person. When I got closer, it turned out to be you. Look, we meet again, Miss Shi."

Shi Wenwen looked around and asked with a smile, "What is Mr. Shen doing in the hospital?"
