Chapter 37: Don't Know How to Back Off
Xiao Nanxing returned to the dormitory and turned on the fan to take a break.
There is no air conditioning here, but fortunately the temperature in the countryside is not as high as in the city, so it is barely enough to get by. She washed her face and heard her cell phone ringing. It was Secretary Li calling.
Xiao Nanxing paused for a moment before answering the phone. Sure enough, it was Pei Zhengping on the other end. "Are you here? Are you hot?"
Xiao Nanxing sighed, "Fortunately, there is air conditioning in the car."
Pei Zhengping: "It's not good to bother Li Xia all the time. Doctor Xiao, would you consider unblocking me?"
Xiao Nanxing was not so willing.
He continued, "Is that number unlucky? How about I change it?"
Xiao Nanxing rolled her eyes secretly, thinking that he was really good at making fun of her. This was not the Pei Zhengping she knew.
Pei Zhengping seemed to know what her expression was, and said with a smile, "Doctor Xiao, tell me, what exactly do you want me to be released from the blacklist?"
Xiao Nanxing didn't have the energy to argue with him anymore, so he removed him from the blacklist and accepted him as a friend.
Pei Zhengping hung up the phone instantly and sent a message on WeChat: "It's been a tiring day, have a good rest. Good night in advance."
Xiao Nanxing didn't reply and didn't want to pay attention to him for the time being.
I took a quick shower, listened to the squeaking sound of the fan, and fell asleep quickly.
As a result, she woke up in the middle of the night due to the heat, her whole body drenched in sweat. She heard the female doctor next door tossing and turning in restlessness, obviously unable to sleep due to the heat either.
Xiao Nanxing sat up and looked out the window at the moonless sky. "Is it going to rain heavily again?"
The weather here is often like this. When it rains, it is very hot and humid, as if putting people in a steamer and sweating, which makes people very irritable.
She moved the fan closer, turned on the light and read. Not long after, heavy rain came with thunder, making it even hotter.
The doctor next door is swearing.
Xiao Nanxing silently prayed to herself that if she kept calm she would feel cooler. She heard the doors on both sides open at the same time. Everyone woke up from the heat, but she didn't go out to join in the fun.
Doctor Wan from the First Hospital pulled up a stool and sat in the hallway, complaining, "Why choose the middle of summer for this free clinic? I've even got a rash from the heat."
Dr. Chen, the beautiful doctor from the Third Hospital, said, "Maybe summer can sharpen our patience?"
She paused and suddenly asked Doctor Wan, "Dr. Gong from your First Hospital opened a hotel and lived there? He's really rich. It's a month."
In fact, she wanted to move back to the county town, where there was a hotel and she didn't have to pay for it herself, but traveling back and forth was tiring, and she was afraid she couldn't hold on.
Doctor Wan nodded. "That should be the case. I haven't paid much attention to it."
The hotels in the town are not cheap either, but unfortunately they are all hard-working beasts of burden and dare not waste their meager wages.
Doctor Chen seemed very concerned about Gong Fangfang. "I heard her family is relatively wealthy and well-connected. Is she here to pursue Doctor Gu from your First Hospital?"
Doctor Wan fanned himself with a plastic fan, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Her family is poor. It was a friend of hers who, I heard, had connections in the health system. That person arranged her job at the hospital."
"No wonder, I think she's caught up with Dr. Gu?"
"I guess so."
Xiao Nanxing lay down gently, with a slightly cold look on his lips.
Is it related to Gong Fangfang? It should be Zhao Yuwen, or Luo Jiabao.
She will always remember how Gong Fangfang and two other roommates lied with their eyes open and gave false testimony, nailing her to the pillar of shame for plagiarizing a paper.
She always suspected that the original text of her handwritten paper became Zhao Yuwen's paper and was taken out by one of them because they just had to take a photo of it.
From then on, none of her information would be made public.
That was her most painful lesson.
Xiao Nanxing turned over, listened to the sound of heavy rain outside, and forced himself to sleep.
Tomorrow we have to go to the village for free medical treatment, which will be more tiring, so we need to stay in good spirits.
It rained heavily all night, and the temperature and humidity rose in the morning, making even breathing sticky.
Many doctors complained uncomfortably, saying that having to go to the village under the scorching sun was simply unbearable.
Xiao Nanxing and Dr. Wan were in the same group, accompanied by the nurse Jin Azhu, plus a driver. They packed their things and set off at 8 o'clock.
For the next four days, it rained at night and was sunny during the day. Every time they visited a village, the female doctors all got tanned.
Doctor Wan looked at Xiao Nanxing's still glowing white complexion with immense envy, "Not getting tanned is truly the magical skill that women most want to possess."
Xiao Nanxing smiled and said, "My skin is still allergic, so I use a lot of sunscreen."
Doctor Wan suddenly felt balanced.
On the fifth day, I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Gu Yizhi thought that everyone was tired after four days and could take a day off.
Xiao Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief. This way, she wouldn't have to make any special arrangements to go to Yuan City and delay everyone.
That evening, as she was packing her backpack, Pei Zhengping messaged her: "Uncle Wang will pick you up at the hospital at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"No, no, I can go there by myself. It's too much trouble for Uncle Wang to make a special trip."
Pei Zhengping sighed, "I hope you can trouble me."
The more polite she was, the more she showed that she didn't want to develop further with him.
Xiao Nanxing was speechless. This was exactly what she meant. Why didn't he back off?
Pei Zhengping: "Uncle Wang will contact you when he arrives. Go to bed early. Good night."
Xiao Nanxing put down his phone and scratched his scalp. Tomorrow would be another day of "torture" and Pei Zhengping would definitely be waiting for him there.
Sure enough, when she was giving acupuncture to Xiao Changan, Pei Zhengping rushed over. He was still wearing his executive coat and the sharpness between his brows had not disappeared. It was obvious that he had just returned from some big scene.
He took off his coat and handed it to the nanny in Building No. 9, untied his tie, sat next to her and drank some water, without saying a word, just looking at her indifferently.
Xiao Nanxing felt a chill on his back and glared at him unhappily.
What is he doing?
Nie Dong and Xiao Changan exchanged glances, one with his hands in his pockets and the other with needles all over his face, and went upstairs leisurely.
Xiao Nanxing forced himself to remain calm as he prepared medicine for Xiao Changan, pretending not to be aware of his gaze.
After several minutes, I heard him say, "You have no conscience. You gave gifts to Uncle Wang but not to me. Haha."
Uncle Wang conveyed her words word for word, which made him feel embarrassed to ask for them. Fortunately, Uncle Wang was smart. He deposited all the specialties in Building No. 8 and had dinner with him.
Xiao Nanxing couldn't help but retort, "Secretary Pei has tasted all sorts of delicacies, how dare you ask for something like that?"
Uncle Wang worked so hard, traveling back and forth for several hours, but she still felt that the gift was not enough.
Pei Zhengping raised his eyebrows slightly, "I want even one of your needles."
So he felt very comfortable as long as it was given by her.
Xiao Nanxing was at a loss for words. This man was indeed a high-ranking official, and his polite words were so nice.
Pei Zhengping put down his cup, sat back, and stared at the back of her small head with a smile, "Uncle Wang and I will buy it. You can continue to give it to us. We can consider it as an increase in his income."
Xiao Nanxing's mouth twitched slightly, impressed by his shamelessness. "That's great. I will generate more income for Uncle Wang."
Pei Zhengping laughed out loud, his hands itching to pinch her pretty earlobes.
Xiao Nanxing seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and quickly moved away with amazing intuition.
Pei Zhengping felt extremely regretful.
This time, it was lunch brought by Aunt Zhang, and the four of them ate together. The menu was provided by Xiao Nanxing, and most of it was medicinal food, mainly to take care of Xiao Changan.
"Doctor Xiao, are your medicinal recipes suitable for most people?" Xiao Changan asked.
