Chapter 11 International "Friendly" Gestures



The three rushed to the hospital and registered at the dermatology department.

Due to severe bleeding, Cheng Qicai's finger needed to be anesthetized so that the part of her nail that had been lifted could be removed, exposing the tender pink nail bed to the air, which made Cheng Qicai's teeth ache.

The anesthetic needle pierced her hand, and the stinging pain made her involuntarily pull her hand back. The doctor held her firmly, frowned, and asked, "How did you manage to do this to your nails?"

When the iodine was poured onto the wound for disinfection, even though she was under local anesthesia and wouldn't feel any pain, Cheng Qicai still hissed reflexively when she smelled the iodine.

Cheng Qicai glanced cautiously at Gu Rongqi's face with moist eyes. Her curled eyelashes trembled with pain, making her look timid and pitiful.

She bit her lower lip, not daring to reveal the real reason, still wanting to save face for her boss, and simply said, "I wasn't paying attention when I was carrying the things."

Pulling up your pants counts as pulling them up, so how can that be considered lying!

The doctor looked at Gu Rongqi disapprovingly, "Young man, you're tall and strong, why do you let your girlfriend carry heavy things? You should be more considerate of your girlfriend and be more self-aware when it comes to carrying things."

"Doctor, he doesn't..." Cheng Qicai was anxious to explain, she couldn't possibly be Gu Rongqi's girlfriend!

Gu Rongqi calmly replied, "Okay, thank you, doctor."

The doctor's attitude towards Gu Rongqi was still good, and he didn't say anything more to him, but just gave him instructions on various precautions for care.

At the hospital entrance.

Cheng Qicai said to Gu Rongqi, "Mr. Gu, you can go ahead and do what you need to do. I can go back by myself."

While seeing the doctor, Cheng Qicai saw Li Gui answer several phone calls and consult Gu Rongqi.

"It's alright, there's still time. We'll take you home first." Gu Rongqi glanced at the time on his phone, which he had asked Li Gui to pick up from a friend's place that morning.

Hearing him say that, Cheng Qicai couldn't keep refusing, lest it take even longer.

“Your hand is injured right now, so it’s inconvenient for you to work. You can rest until your hand recovers, and you will still be paid your salary,” Gu Rongqi said to Cheng Qicai.

? ? ?

To be honest, Cheng Qicai was very excited when she heard this and subconsciously wanted to agree, but she immediately thought that if she rested, it would take at least a month for her injury to heal and for her to get used to work. If she didn't go to work now, it would be as if the time she had spent getting used to work was wasted.

Moreover, she got in through connections, so it's really not good for her to be absent for a month right after arriving.

So she still declined, saying, "It's okay, Mr. Gu, it won't affect me much. I can work."

Gu Rongqi asked again, "Are you sure?"

Cheng Qicai nodded.

Cheng Qicai was dropped off at the entrance of the residential area, and she watched Gu Rongqi's car leave.

When she got home, she threw herself onto the sofa and let her mind wander.

Every day, I'm just a maid, and I still suffer.

Her middle finger was injured, making it inconvenient for her to do anything. When she used her hands, only her middle finger was raised, which was very contemptible.

After a night, she felt her middle finger becoming increasingly swollen. The finger, which she could bend yesterday, was now easily aggravated by the slightest movement.

I started regretting not agreeing to Gu Rongqi's proposal as soon as I woke up this morning. I should have known better than to be so reckless.

She doesn't know where this sudden urge to go to work came from; now she even wants to go back and slap herself for what she did yesterday.

As soon as he entered the office, Lin Fengjie's gaze fell on her swollen middle finger, which was wrapped in a bandage.

Lin Fengjie asked with concern, "How come your hands are in such a state after only two days of vacation?"

"Just bad luck," Cheng Qicai vaguely dodged the question, changing the subject. "By the way, why couldn't I reach you, Brother Lin, on Saturday? What were you doing?"

Lin Fengjie smiled wryly and said helplessly, "I had a fight with my girlfriend and we broke up."

"Ah!" Cheng Qicai picked up her coffee cup, hiding her gossipy expression. "How could that be? Brother Lin is so outstanding."

Lin Fengjie recounted the breakup with distress: "We went out to paint dolls, each of us painting half. She thought my painting was too ugly, but I thought mine looked exactly like the picture. In the end, we started arguing."

"..." Cheng Qicai hadn't expected there to be such a reason for the breakup, and at the same time, she was curious about what Lin Fengjie's makeup looked like that would make his girlfriend so angry that she wanted to break up with him.

Cheng Qicai's eyes were fixed intently. "So what kind of dolls are you painting?"

Lin Fengjie showed Cheng Qicai the pictures he had taken on his phone.

"..."

Cheng Qicai stared at the picture on her phone in silence for a long time. "You deserved to be dumped because of this ugly thing."

This plaster cat has two contrasting appearances. One side is pink and tender, so cute it melts your heart, while the other side looks like a demon condemned to hell and never to be reincarnated.

How can drawing something this ugly not be considered a talent? Even stomping on it twice would look better than this.

Cheng Qicai asked with difficulty, "Brother Lin, where did you get this idea from?"

“Spider-Man! Look at this web-like suit, the spider logo on the chest, isn’t it exactly the same?” Lin Fengjie said, pointing to the black spot in the center.

The only similarity you've achieved is in the red and black colors; you can't deny the other aspects. How blind are you?

"Yes, yes..." Cheng Qicai nodded reluctantly, taking a sip of coffee to cover up her insincerity.

Lin Fengjie looked at her raising her injured middle finger, and no matter how he looked at it, it was all sarcastic at him.

Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~

Cheng Qicai's phone vibrated on her desk. She quickly picked it up and answered the call, taking the opportunity to avoid this awkward topic.

"Hello, who is this?" The phone displayed an unfamiliar number.

A deep voice came from the other end: "I am Gu Rongqi."

"President Gu." Upon hearing the voice of the big boss, Cheng Qicai immediately became serious.
