In the outer room of the ward, Yang Xu saw Shen Du come out in a hurry after only two minutes. His heart skipped a beat. Before he could ask any more questions, he heard Shen Du say, "The house doesn't need to be cleaned. Contact a doctor for her."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xu suddenly raised his head, opened his mouth, and hesitantly replied, "...Yes."
The elevator doors closed in front of him, and Yang Xu sighed with mixed feelings. Just then, Aunt Wang came over from the other side. The two looked at each other, their expressions both somewhat complicated, but they tacitly remained silent.
Since making that decision, Ye Zhao felt as if she had put down a burden and felt completely relaxed. Just then, Aunt Wang brought her some light food, and she, who was already starving, began a new round of eating.
However, having learned from her previous experience, she ate slowly and in small amounts this time, fearing she might vomit uncontrollably again.
Meanwhile, Chen Du went straight to the company after leaving the hospital. There had been a lot going on at the company recently. He had just taken some time to go to the hospital and then had several meetings after returning. He was so busy that he didn't have time to think about anything else.
"Mr. Shen, HR has recently hired a few new secretaries. Would you like to interview them in person?"
Chen Du had just finished a meeting, and Lin Yi, holding documents, followed behind him and asked.
He frowned, and without turning his head, said, "Let Xiao Yang take a look. If there are no problems, let them start work as soon as possible. We're short-staffed right now."
"OK."
Chen Du had been in several meetings, and by the time he finished, it was already late at night. Outside the window, neon lights shone brightly. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes wearily, and pondered the matters that had just been discussed when the phone suddenly rang.
Chen Du picked up his phone, glanced at it, frowned, and answered the call: "What's up?"
"I'm downstairs at Shen's, wanna go for a drink?" He Jie's clear voice rang out.
Chen Du rubbed his aching temples and refused, saying, "I'm not going. Find someone else."
He Jie laughed on the other end of the phone: "Young Master Shen, you're so busy with work that you're practically a robot. We haven't seen you in ages, let's grab a drink together."
Without giving Shen Du a chance to refuse, he added, "Come down quickly, or they'll all come to invite you later."
Chen Du hung up the phone, closed his eyes wearily, got up to leave, and subconsciously glanced at the table, seeing the resumes Lin Yi had brought earlier. He reached for one and was about to look at it when he received another call urging him to come downstairs. So he put down the resume and turned to leave.
Blue Ocean Club is a private club owned by He Jie. He is very well-connected in the circle of rich second-generation people in City A, and most of his friends are also from wealthy families. Therefore, the customers of this club are almost all from his circle.
Today's gathering was organized by He Jie, but he only invited a few brothers he grew up with, who also have a good relationship with Shen Du, which is why Shen Du agreed to come.
As soon as the two pushed open the door, they heard a person inside chuckle and say, "Oh! Young Master Shen has graced us with his presence today? It's our honor!"
The group had grown up together and knew each other's temperaments very well. Chen Du glanced at him but didn't say anything, and went straight to sit down next to Xie Ming.
He Jie replied with a smile, "That's right, I personally went to the Shen family to pick them up..."
Xie Ming and Shen Du seemed not to hear the two teasing each other, and started chatting on their own. The Xie family and the Shen family had a recent collaboration, and the two began to talk endlessly about their work.
Wang Shuo, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and loudly interrupted them, saying, "Aren't you two tired? You finally have a little time to rest, and you start talking about work again. Can't you talk about something interesting?"
The two were interrupted and stopped talking. Fang Yizhou, who had been joking earlier, chimed in, "That's right, let's talk about something else. It's not easy for us to get together, what's the point of talking about work every day?"
Upon hearing this, He Jie seemed to remember something and asked Fang Yizhou with a smile, "Hey, Dunzi, I heard your family has arranged several blind dates for you? How did it go? Did you find anyone you liked?"
Fang Yizhou said impatiently, "I already told you not to call me Dunzi..."
He was just a chubby kid, is it really worth calling him by that nickname for so many years?
After saying that, she looked dejected and said, "Don't say anymore. I don't even want to go home lately. Every day, a different girl comes to my house. I can't even tell them apart anymore."
The others gloated upon hearing this.
Wang Shuo leaned back on the sofa, grinning roguishly, and said, "Just pick one to marry, what's so difficult about that?"
Fang Yizhou retorted, "I'm not like you, I'm not picky about food at all..."
Wang Shuo is known in the industry for never turning down anyone. He has never been seen to refuse a girl who takes the initiative towards him. He wasn't angry when he heard this, and laughed and said, "Isn't this all about mutual consent? As long as you're happy, why bother with so much? You're so picky, but have you found someone yet?"
He Jie chuckled. Fang Yizhou rolled his eyes at Wang Shuo without saying a word. Xie Ming smiled and said, "You're the only son in the Fang family, so it's normal for Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang to be anxious. You're not getting any younger, so stop being so picky."
Looking at Chen Du, who was bowing his head and remaining silent, Fang Yizhou suddenly blurted out, "I'd better pick some things out myself, so I don't end up like Brother Du..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent. Lu Chuan, who had been sitting silently in the corner, reached out and slapped Fang Yizhou: "Wow, you're something else, daring to tease your Brother Du now..."
The others also laughed. He Jie looked at Shen Du with a gloating smile and asked, "What are you thinking? You're not really going to marry Ye Zhao, are you?"
That's what they said, but nobody thought Shen Du would marry Ye Zhao.
They all knew Ye Zhao. Her family background was average, and she was just an average person. She was really not a good match for Shen Du. Moreover, Shen Du was known for being picky, so he probably wouldn't have taken a liking to Ye Zhao. It was only because of Old Master Shen's health that they got engaged.
Upon hearing this, Chen Du exhaled the smoke from his mouth and slowly said, "We'll see."
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, all wearing speechless expressions.
Lu Chuan sighed and said, "Anyway, I advise you to be very careful about marriage. It's a matter of lifelong freedom..."
As if in response to his words, his phone rang urgently the moment he finished speaking.
He Jie laughed again: "These are his heartfelt words..."
The others also burst out laughing. Lu Chuan told them to be quiet in a irritable tone before answering the phone.
"Hey, baby!" The cloying voice came from Lu Chuan's mouth, and He Jie and the others were shaking with suppressed laughter.
"Where are you? Are you coming back? Beibei misses you and keeps fussing and won't go to sleep." A clear, melodious female voice came from the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing that his child missed him, Lu Chuan stood up without hesitation, made a phone call, and left without looking back.
The remaining people, upon hearing the child's soft, sweet voice on Lu Chuan's phone, all changed their expressions from schadenfreude to subtle unease. Chen Du also looked thoughtfully in the direction Lu Chuan had left.
