Chapter 70: Keep Pretending
Xiao Nanxing put down his breakfast milk and looked at Li Ma.
Li Ma said to her seriously, "The secretary doesn't like to be extravagant on his birthday. Sometimes he doesn't even celebrate his birthday when he's busy.
When I have time, I just eat a few bites at home. It's usually Zhang Ma who takes care of everything. Don't worry, I'll go help her after work the day after tomorrow. It won't interfere with her work."
Xiao Nanxing suspected that she did it on purpose, but he had no evidence.
After all, she had just asked Li Rong to go to Hengxing to customize a set of scalpels for Liao Ming.
He also prepared two out-of-print ancient Chinese medical books to give to Wang Zhimin.
Is this a reminder to her not to forget Pei Zhengping when she sees him giving gifts everywhere?
Or maybe Pei Zhengping, the sinister man, was reminding her through Li Ma's mouth. Humph, he didn't even ask for a gift directly?
Xiao Nanxing narrowed his eyes and asked, "Pei Zhengping's birthday is the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, the secretary only celebrates his birthday according to the lunar calendar." After saying this, Li Ma quickly left, keeping her achievements and fame to herself.
Xiao Nanxing got in the car to go to work. On the way, he said to Li Rong, "Please remember everyone's birthdays for me from now on."
Not only Pei Zhengping, but also Rong Qing, Liao Ming, Nie Dong, and Xiao Changan, she also has to show her appreciation on their birthdays. This is the most basic social interaction.
Li Rong nodded.
Xiao Nanxing looked at the scenery outside the car window and suddenly laughed. What would happen to Pei Zhengping if she didn't give him a gift?
To be honest, how could she not be angry about his endless tricks? She felt a little itchy whenever she thought about it. It wouldn't be too much for her to fight back a little, right?
Xiao Nanxing was still thinking about this matter until he arrived at the department, and was a little excited.
As she was handing over her shift to Fei Dabai, Dr. Qu, who led the free clinic last time, contacted her:
"Doctor Xiao, we've received a letter from the National Health Bureau stating that you'll need to go to the Beijing General Administration the day after tomorrow to attend a short face-to-face training session. I'll send you the documents later."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Qu."
Xiao Nanxing thought, it's finally here, this is standard procedure. Every newcomer joining the Health Bureau must attend this on-the-job training session. It can be regarded as a formal debut, knowing their duties and obligations, and getting to know their colleagues.
But, the day after tomorrow? She has to go to the capital to settle down tomorrow afternoon.
Xiao Nanxing raised the corner of his mouth.
She went to the capital for business. Secretary Pei is a magnanimous person. He won't mind that she didn't give him a gift or celebrate her birthday with him, right?
After get off work, Xiao Nanxing went to Building 16 of Chang'an Garden with Li Rong. When she pushed open the ancient iron gate, she fell in love with the villa at first sight and said, "Move in, move in."
There are many rooms, so Li Rong can stay here and doesn’t have to get up early every day to pick him up.
Who would want to live in a small house when there is a big one? She is just a vulgar person.
Xiao Nanxing took a video and sent it to Li Xiaoxiao, "Prepare a big red envelope, sister, I bought another house~~~"
Li Xiaoxiao: "? Rich woman, sister, please support me!!"
"Call me daddy and I'll support you."
"dad!"
Xiao Nanxing was very happy. He finally felt proud of himself. Haha.
She was just enjoying herself when Pei Zhengping walked into the hall slowly, his hands behind his back, like an old man, without even changing his work clothes.
"Oh, Dr. Xiao has acquired new assets. Congratulations! It's such a happy occasion. How about we have a meal to celebrate?"
Xiao Nanxing: "Secretary Pei has a very sharp ear."
She was a little suspicious whether he and Xiao Changan had conspired to arrange this villa for her.
Facing her suspicious eyes, Pei Zhengping remained calm and said, "Doctor Xiao has to go to the capital tomorrow, so let's do it today. Aunt Zhang has already prepared dinner. Doctor Xiao, would you mind coming over to do me a favor?"
A few minutes later, Xiao Nanxing, who was sitting in the small restaurant of Building 8, brainwashed himself.
She must have come here to eat because she couldn't bear to miss Zhang Ma's cooking.
Yes, I was definitely not bewitched by him, nor was I soft-hearted!!
Pei Zhengping's expression was the same as usual. He picked up some food and handed her some water, as if he was not the one who asked Li Ma to pass the message to her.
Pack!
Xiao Nanxing wanted to see how long he would continue to pretend, so he became less anxious, ate peacefully, and enjoyed the care of Boss Pei.
In the end, she returned to Xi'anyuan, and Pei Zhengping didn't even mention the word birthday.
Xiao Nanxing was confused. Wasn't it him who told Li Ma to pass on the message? Did he misunderstand him?
Li Xiaoxiao got off work late today, so she came to stay with her. Xiao Nanxing thought about it and then told her what was in her heart.
Li Xiaoxiao: "No, sister, I'm with you, but you're thinking about other men. I'm jealous."
Xiao Nanxing came back to his senses and took the initiative, "Don't talk about me first. Your expression was not right last time. Tell me quickly, is there something wrong with you? And it's definitely not Lin Yang!"
Li Xiaoxiao immediately shrank her neck. "Can I not say it?"
"No! If you dare to hide it, I won't give you the bag I bought!"
"Ahhh, Xiao Nanxing, you are so cruel!"
After being coerced and lured, Li Xiaoxiao finally couldn't bear it anymore and confessed, "I slept with a man!!"
Earth-shattering.
Xiao Nanxing almost bit off his tongue, his voice rising, "What did you say?!!"
Li Xiaoxiao hid back in fear. "Um, sister, calm down. It was an accident. I was drunk. He took Chinese medicine. We..."
Xiao Nanxing turned around and found the feather duster, and was furious. "Give it back to us! To us! I'm going to beat you to death today!!"
Li Xiaoxiao screamed, turned around and ran, and the two of them circled around the sofa:
"Nanxing, Nanxing, Nanxing's father, calm down, calm down, I know I was wrong, I will never drink again, ah, help, help..."
Xiao Nanxing punched her hard a few times, covered his face and sobbed, "What should I do? Why are you so stupid? You bastard!"
Li Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, "Sister, stop acting, it's not as real as my mom's!"
Xiao Nanxing lowered his hand and roared, "How dare you smile so frivolously? Who is he? When did this happen?!"
Li Xiaoxiao felt that if that man were in front of her, Xiao Nanxing would definitely kill him with a knife.
She was so bold that she was a little hesitant to speak now.
Xiao Nanxing: "Hurry up and tell me!"
Li Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her voice weak, "He, his name is Li Sheng or Li Sheng? I just think he looks familiar..."
When he gave her his business card, she turned around and threw it in the trash can.
After a long time of mental preparation, she treated it as a bite from a dog and finally realized she was wrong.
Xiao Nanxing had difficulty breathing and sat down weakly, holding his chest.
Let her take it easy, she is so angry now that she doesn't know what to do with her.
Half an hour later, the two of them called a truce. Xiao Nanxing looked at his silly daughter in front of him and felt that sooner or later she would die young because of the anger she and Lin Yang caused.
"So, you both knew what the other person looked like, and he gave you a business card and never contacted you again?"
Li Xiaoxiao nodded. Such a handsome guy, and he was doing a good job. Now that she thought about it, it seemed like it was not a loss.
Ahem, I can’t tell this to Mr. Xiao.
"Li Xiaoxiao, you idiot, have you ever considered that he thinks of you as a prostitute?"
Otherwise, it is impossible for a big shot in Beijing to send away a savior who helped him find the antidote with just a business card.
Li Xiaoxiao was surprised. "No, no way? My skills are so bad..."
Xiao Nanxing: "Ahhh, Li Xiaoxiao!!"
