Chapter 286: Let's go see Xiao Wei together
"Let's go in. I'm in this area on business at noon, so let's have lunch here."
Lu Ye didn't give her a chance to refuse and got into the car.
Seeing Lu Ye at the hospital entrance today and witnessing his mental state again was a huge shock to Director Zhou.
Now, Lu Ye is almost unrecognizable as someone whose body was ravaged by poison just a few months ago.
Both her complexion and emotional state have completely returned to normal.
Doctors who didn't witness Lu Ye's most severe condition firsthand might think everyone was exaggerating, believing Bai Zhi's success was just a lucky fluke.
But as one of Lu Ye's attending physicians, he knew better than anyone how serious Lu Ye's condition was.
Actually, from another perspective, Bai Zhi not only saved Lu Ye.
It also saved him.
Director Zhou knew very well that if Bai Zhi hadn't appeared, and Lu Ye's condition had worsened in the hospital and something had gone wrong, given the Lu family's background, they would have been held responsible for inaction if they hadn't brought Lu Ye back, and he probably wouldn't have been able to keep his title as director.
In the future, he will have no prestige in the industry.
Therefore, in a way, they should all thank Angelica dahurica for appearing.
After Director Zhou figured all this out, his attitude at work underwent a complete 180-degree turn. He not only fully cooperated with Bai Zhi, but also took the lead and actively urged everyone to do research.
If you have any questions, humbly ask Bai Zhi for advice.
He has completely lost his former aloof and superior demeanor.
With Director Zhou's change of attitude, the others naturally became more proactive as well.
This has significantly improved the overall work efficiency of the team.
The atmosphere in the laboratory also became more relaxed.
"Dr. Bai, we heard that you and Company Commander Lu are getting married. When is the wedding?"
Around lunchtime, Deputy Director Chen asked with a smile.
Bai Zhi said, "It's October 2nd. I was planning to send out the invitations after they were made, but I didn't expect you all to have already heard about it."
"Everyone must come to the banquet then!"
Director Zhou said with a smile, "We will definitely attend if Dr. Bai and Company Commander Lu invite us."
Seeing that everyone's relationship had become so harmonious, Deputy Director Chen suggested that they go to the cafeteria together after get off work so that they could continue to discuss small work-related issues while eating.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I have to eat out today."
"Xiaobai, are you going outside? Did someone invite you?" Shen Qian was a little disappointed when she heard that her dining buddy couldn't have dinner with her today.
"Yes, Lu Ye is here. Let's go out to eat."
Bai Zhi patted her to comfort her, "You can only go to the cafeteria alone today, but of course you can also go with us big shots."
"Can I be a third wheel for you guys?" Shen Qian's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Bai Zhi with a smile.
Bai Zhi replied, "Sure."
Of course she can.
I'm afraid Lu Ye will give someone a hard time.
Ye Qingbai was left halfway there this morning.
"Then it's settled. I happen to need to talk to Lu Ye."
When Shen Qian said this, she looked serious, and Bai Zhi had no choice but to agree.
As soon as the two left the hospital, they saw a conspicuous large Jeep.
Lu Ye got out of the car.
Seeing the girl beside Bai Zhi, he asked in a casual tone, "Is Dr. Shen going to eat too?"
“Dr. Shen is coming with us,” Bai Zhi said.
As she expected, Lu Ye's expression slightly hardened upon hearing her words.
Bai Zhi was afraid that Lu Ye would give Shen Qian a hard time and make her lose face, so she spoke first, "I invited her to have dinner with us. She has something to discuss with you."
Since his girlfriend had said so, Lu Ye didn't say much. He just hummed in agreement, took her hand, and said, "Let's go."
The two held hands on the street, and Shen Qian, following behind, was fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), feeling like she didn't need to eat lunch.
I'm already full.
Lu Ye led them forward for more than ten meters and they arrived at a stir-fry restaurant.
We ordered four dishes and a soup.
Bai Zhi said, "Isn't this much unnecessary?" The main problem is that the portion sizes in this era are a bit too generous; a single serving of cabbage stew with vermicelli is served in a huge bowl.
"Eat up, I'll pack up the leftovers." Lu Ye looked at his girlfriend with eyes full of concern. "You've lost weight lately, is work very tiring?"
When asked about work, Bai Zhi nodded with a wronged expression, "It is indeed a bit tiring."
“But I haven’t lost weight,” she added.
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she looked at Shen Qian, who had been left standing to the side, and said with a smile, "Dr. Shen, didn't you have something to discuss with Lu Ye? Why don't you two have a chat?"
Thinking of what she wanted to say, Shen Qian smiled politely and said, "Let's talk about it after we finish eating."
Lu Ye put some food in Bai Zhi's bowl, lifted his eyelids, glanced at Chen Qian, and said indifferently, "Did you come to see me for no reason at all, and just came to freeload a meal?"
Shen Qian's lips twitched slightly. "Company Commander Lu, we've been childhood friends for a while now. Shouldn't I eat a meal with you? How many times have I treated you to meals back in the army?"
Lu Ye, "You've treated me to meals quite a few times, but every time you did it was because you needed something from me."
Shen Qian, "!!!"
Lu Ye put another chicken leg in Bai Zhi's bowl and said softly, "Eat more."
"You eat too." Bai Zhi also put some meat slices on his plate.
Watching them being so affectionate and lovey-dovey, even their meal was so cloying, Shen Qian, a single woman, couldn't help but think of a certain figure, and a bitter look crossed her face.
Head down, silently eating.
After finishing his meal, Lu Ye glanced at his watch and asked Chen Qian, "What do you need me for? Please speak."
Shen Qian wiped her mouth, sat up straight, and her expression became serious.
"Do you remember what day tomorrow is?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye lowered his deep eyes.
"Remember."
Shen Qian's expression was also solemn. She said, "Let's go see Xiao Wei together tomorrow at noon."
"Um."
Lu Ye said, "Aunt Mu will probably go too. She's not in good health, and I'm worried that something might happen to her, so let's prepare contingency plans in advance."
"You've thought of everything." Shen Qian said calmly, "With Xiao Yue here, A Zheng is also taking care of Aunt Mu."
"I'm afraid Xie Zheng won't even be able to control his own emotions."
They all knew very well Xiao Wei's place in Xie Zheng's heart.
Ten years have passed, but he has never let go, never forgotten.
I've always shut myself off and lived in the past.
But Xie Zheng's successful performance last night made them all feel very gratified.
They felt that Xie Zheng was about to "come back to life".
The sunny, cheerful, and handsome young man from before is back.
“Brother Ye, I can tell that A-Zheng has always cared about you. Although he has been arguing with you all these years, you hold a very important place in his heart.” Shen Qian looked at him earnestly. “You should try to talk to him. He’s not young anymore. He should let go of the past and start a new life.”
As Shen Qian spoke, a hint of unease appeared on her face, and she quickly lowered her head.
