61:00 a.m.
Barbecue season.
Ding Qiunan stared anxiously at the doorway.
Ever since she bumped into Lin Yang at the hospital and asked him out for dinner, she had been asking around about him.
Although she didn't find out the specifics, Ding Qiunan knew about the arrest of the spies and the capture of Deputy Factory Director Teng within the factory.
This person must be capable of helping me.
But she wasn't sure if such a capable person would actually come to the appointment.
As the appointed time drew near, Lin Yang still hadn't appeared.
Just as she was feeling anxious, a familiar figure finally came into her view.
"Brother Lin!" Ding Qiunan, disregarding her usual icy goddess demeanor, stood up and waved to Lin Yang, saying, "I'm here!"
After glancing at her, Lin Yang continued walking towards her without stopping.
Some of the young men who had been eyeing Ding Qiunan at the barbecue restaurant were green with envy when they saw Lin Yang walk in.
Such a beautiful woman, how could you bear to make her wait for you?
Ignoring the envious gazes of the crowd, Lin Yang walked up to Ding Qiunan and said, "Dr. Ding, I'm not late, am I?"
Last night, he and Lou Xiao'e stayed up too late, and this morning, Lou Xiao'e, who has a strong ability to recover, wouldn't let him get out of bed.
If it weren't for his strong willpower, Lin Yang probably wouldn't even be able to get out of bed right now.
Ding Qiunan smiled and looked at Lin Yang, saying, "Brother Lin, you're not late. I arrived too early. Also, Brother Lin, you're too kind. Didn't I tell you before that you can just call me Qiunan?"
"It's my fault!" Lin Yang sat down next to her, inhaling her pleasant, youthful scent, and said with a smile, "Qiu Nan, have you ordered yet?"
"Not yet." Ding Qiunan held up her hand to call the waiter over, saying, "Brother Lin, would you like to order?"
The food here is expensive, but the service is much better than Yan Zhaolong's.
The waiter, with a professional smile and a small notebook in his hand, said, "Gentlemen, we've just received some new lamb, and it tastes pretty good."
Lin Yang didn't order much; he just casually asked for some recommended dishes and then signaled to the waiter that it was fine.
After everyone left, Lin Yang poured water for Ding Qiunan and said with a smile, "How's it going, Qiunan? Are you getting used to your work?"
Ding Qiunan said with a bitter face, "Brother Lin, to be honest, I am used to my work habits, but I often get scolded."
"Being scolded?" Lin Yang asked with a hint of doubt, "Qiu Nan, did you ruin someone's life?"
“No way…” Ding Qiunan said, somewhat speechless, “It’s just that too many people from the factory come to me for medical treatment, which affects the normal operation of our clinic.”
After looking Ding Qiunan up and down, Lin Yang joked, "You can't blame them for that, after all, Qiunan, you're too eye-catching."
Ding Qiunan said aggrievedly, "Then why does our director always criticize me and not the others?"
Lin Yang said speechlessly, "If I were your director, I would say the same thing to you!"
"Huh?" Ding Qiunan looked at Lin Yang in confusion and asked, "Brother Lin, why?"
"I heard from my friend that you're very aloof at your factory? You always have a blank expression no matter who you're dealing with?" Lin Yang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said with a slight chuckle, "Think about it, if your subordinates were expressionless towards you every day, would you like them?"
Ding Qiunan wasn't stupid; she just had never thought of this before.
Now that Lin Yang had brought it up, she thought about it thoughtfully for a moment before nodding and saying, "Brother Lin, I understand!"
Looking at Ding Qiunan's pretty face, Lin Yang didn't know if she truly understood or was just pretending.
As the meat was served, Ding Qiunan took a few bites and then looked at Lin Yang with expectant eyes, saying:
"Brother Lin, you're so amazing, could you teach me how to get the factory to approve my application?"
Lin Yang chewed on the mutton in his mouth, looked into Ding Qiunan's bright eyes, and said casually, "Do you know why the factory didn't approve your application?"
Ding Qiunan realized that Lin Yang really wanted to teach her, so she immediately put down her chopsticks and looked at him with a thirst for knowledge, saying, "I don't know."
"Because approving your application wouldn't benefit the factory." Lin Yang picked up a piece of mutton and placed it in Ding Qiunan's bowl, saying with a smile, "Eat up, mutton is the most nourishing food in winter."
Ding Qiunan had no appetite for mutton, but she couldn't refuse Lin Yang's kindness, so she absentmindedly picked it up and put it in her mouth, chewing it casually for a couple of seconds.
She then pressed on, "Brother Lin, why wouldn't approving my application benefit the factory? If I went to medical school, my medical skills would definitely be better after graduation!"
"And then?" Lin Yang shrugged. "Qiu Nan, do you think the steel mill's clinic needs a doctor with superb medical skills? Who will come to the clinic if there's a serious problem? The hospital isn't that far from the factory."
Ding Qiunan opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't refute it.
Before she could think it through, Lin Yang added:
"Even if the factory approves your application, will they raise your salary after you graduate from medical school, or will they not?"
"If we give you a raise, your boss will think it's not worth it; if we don't give you a raise, you'll feel like you're being treated unfairly, and you'll definitely try every means to get a job at the hospital."
Lin Yang shrugged and looked at Ding Qiunan, saying, "So now you understand why your application has been rejected all this time?"
After hearing Lin Yang's words, Ding Qiunan was dumbfounded; she really hadn't expected all of this.
She thought someone disliked her and that's why they kept suppressing her.
Now she realizes that it's better if someone dislikes her, because at least her application has a chance of being approved by the factory leaders.
Seeing Lin Yang eating barbecue with a relaxed expression, Ding Qiunan suddenly asked, "Brother Lin, do you have any ideas?"
She wasn't stupid. Since she had no other choice, why not just ask the young and promising Section Chief Lin Yang?
After all, the fact that he was able to tell me these things meant that he was definitely willing to help me.
Lin Yang, with a smile, wrapped a piece of mutton in a lettuce leaf and placed it in front of Ding Qiunan, saying, "If you don't eat it soon, I'll eat it all."
"Brother Lin, I don't want any! You can have all of these!" Ding Qiunan shook her head as she picked up a piece of beef and placed it in Lin Yang's bowl. Then she said ingratiatingly, "Brother Lin, can you tell me how to get the factory to approve my application?"
Look at that expression on her face.
If the workers who skipped work to visit her at the infirmary had seen her, there would probably be many more people heartbroken.
"Do you really want to go to medical school?" Lin Yang put down the mutton in his hand and looked at Ding Qiunan, who seemed different from usual.
"Yes!" Ding Qiunan nodded vigorously, a different kind of light flashing in her eyes. "My biggest wish in this life is to go to medical school."
