At exactly 10 p.m., Ming Jiayi's alarm clock rang.
She rubbed her eyes, then turned over and turned off the alarm clock.
The second after she swiped to turn off the alarm, she picked up her phone.
The instant the screen lit up, her drowsy state was instantly banished. She stared in astonishment, her mouth agape, completely dumbfounded.
Help.
She only slept for a few hours, didn't she?
How can there be so many missed calls?
With a startled feeling, she opened the call log and looked at it carefully.
Feng Yunyun made 25 calls, Mo Xing made 19 calls, Lin Xiaorou made 10 calls, plus Ming's parents, Ming Fengche, Gu Shaojin, and some scattered unknown calls, totaling about 100 calls.
What kind of outrageous scandal has she gotten into this time...?
As Ming Jiayi was pondering who to call first, Gu Shaojin's call came in.
She answered the phone instantly, and then said in a light tone, "Good evening, Mr. Gu. I was just about to call you. What can I do for you?"
Gu Shaojin raised an eyebrow.
Oh? Should I call him now?
They have such great chemistry.
In fact, Gu Shaojin happened to be having dinner with the dean that evening to discuss some matters.
But as they were talking, they suddenly started talking about Ming Jiayi, and then the hospital director told him about the hospital.
He thought that if the surgery was to be performed at 11 o'clock, then Ming Jiayi should be up around 10 o'clock, right? So he called again to try, and she answered.
"You just woke up?" Gu Shaojin asked tentatively.
Ming Jiayi hummed in agreement, then quickly replied.
"Yes, that's right. So, Mr. Gu, what brings you here? Did we get involved in another scandal while I was sleeping?"
If Gu Shaojin's mood just now was like a fish blowing bubbles, then his mood now is like a lion whose territory has been invaded.
Gu Shaojin replied calmly in his somewhat deep voice.
"Yes, people online say that you and I got our marriage certificate. I thought we shouldn't disappoint the netizens, so why don't we actually get our marriage certificate?"
Ming Jiayi took the phone away from her ear with a bewildered look, then stared in surprise at the contact name on it.
It's definitely Gu Shaojin...
"Really? Haven't we not seen each other for a while? This is just a rumor. Don't be angry, Mr. Gu. Don't worry, I'll delete this false rumor right now and then post an update to accuse them."
Gu Shaojin grew increasingly angry as he listened. He clenched his fist slightly, but quickly relaxed it again.
Suddenly, an undisguised smile appeared in his eyes.
“It’s been a long time since we last saw each other, but if you want to see me, you can come to my office anytime. You’re welcome anytime.”
Ming Jiayi smiled, seemingly unaware of what was going on.
But that wasn't the main point of what she just said, was it?
"Mr. Gu, you misunderstood me. What I wanted to talk about was mainly the second half."
Gu Shaojin raised an eyebrow. He refused to continue the conversation with Ming Jiayi, because he felt she would get angry if they did, so he steered the issue back on track.
"Are you aware that a marketing account spread rumors about you this afternoon?"
As Ming Jiayi got out of bed, she slowly answered her phone, "I know, just a bystander."
Gu Shaojin quickly hummed in agreement, then continued to ask,
"Did you know that he posted another message this afternoon, exposing your entire background?"
Ming Jiayi paused for a moment as she put on her coat.
No wonder they all called her...
"Are you referring to the fact that I am Ming Yiran's daughter from the Ming Group?"
Gu Shaojin methodically relayed the Weibo post to Ming Jiayi, and then recited the prepared script he had already written.
"I found out who that person was this afternoon. His name is Tan Ziting. I've already asked Duhui to hack his account and use his account to issue a statement apologizing to you."
But this was done without your consent, so I'm sorry.
Ming Jiayi looked at the notes on her phone again with a puzzled expression.
Gu Shaojin actually said he was sorry...
It seems that this President Gu is not as bad as she imagined.
And it seems to be quite good...
She had already reached the hospital corridor, so she could only answer in a low voice.
"It's alright, it's not a bad thing. In fact, I should thank President Gu for his help."
Gu Shaojin smiled, then said matter-of-factly,
"Thanks can't just be expressed with words, right? I heard you took two days off from the film crew and had surgery today, so you're planning to deal with this tomorrow?"
Now that I've taken care of it for you, you'll have a free day tomorrow, right?
Ming Jiayi nodded.
That's true.
That was her plan from the beginning.
"Yes, Mr. Gu wants me to treat you to dinner as a thank you?"
Gu Shaojin didn't beat around the bush and answered directly, "Yes."
Ming Jiayi readily agreed to Gu Shaojin's request.
After all, he really helped solve a troublesome matter.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Gu Shaojin began to steer the conversation back on track.
"By the way, you also need to post an update to clarify your relationship with Bai Lisuheyi, and then explain why you didn't reveal your Ming family identity."
I've already asked the company's public relations department to write it for you. I'll send it to you in a bit, and you can send it out.
Ming Jiayi couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Gu Shaojin's thoughts were so comprehensive; if Gu Shaojin hadn't mentioned it, she probably wouldn't have thought of these things herself.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Gu. I'll definitely treat you to dinner another day."
"Um."
Gu Shaojin hung up the phone in a good mood.
He claimed credit again.
That's really great.
Ming Jiayi glanced at the hundred or so phone calls again, and then pressed the power button for ten seconds without thinking.
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
She strode into the operating room through the medical staff-only entrance.
Although she had already met with the cardiologists, there were also doctors from other departments and some nurses participating in the surgery, so she still had to come early to change her clothes.
"Jiayi, you're here so early." Zhang Dao, the patient's attending physician, called out softly to Ming Jiayi.
Ming Jiayi smiled and replied softly, "I came to change my clothes first. Why are you here so early?"
Zhang Dao scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"Actually, today is my wife's birthday. We had planned to take the day off together and go out, but unexpectedly..."
"Ugh, I was afraid if I went home and stayed for two hours before coming out again, she'd get annoyed with me, so I simply didn't go home. Besides, this is one of my patients, so of course I had to come early to prepare."
Ming Jiayi asked, somewhat confused, "If you don't go home, won't your wife be even angrier?"
