Xiao Zhao lived up to Xu Zhiyi's instructions. Within half an hour, Xiao Zhao returned to the office and said to Xu Zhiyi, "Director, I've found out everything. The reason this matter spread was that when the nurse from our department came to the hospital to work this morning, she happened to see Chief of Staff Qin returning from breakfast. After that, the nurse asked the colleague who was on night shift last night, and that colleague said that Chief of Staff Qin stayed with you in the hospital all night.
But when they were talking, there happened to be a patient's family member in the corridor, and that family member happened to be from the military compound. So word spread quickly, and everyone knew about it."
Xu Zhiyi held his forehead and cursed in his heart: What a bunch of people who have nothing to do, so idle.
Xiao Zhao smiled mischievously again: "Director, I think what the outsiders said is correct. Let them say whatever they want. They envy you. They envy you. Chief of Staff Qin is so good to you."
"Okay, I get it. You...they said, let them talk, but don't say anything more. I'll be embarrassed."
Xiao Zhao looked at Xu Zhiyi with a look of surprise on his face, and immediately said, "Director, you've become a bad guy too, and your face is getting thicker and thicker."
Xu Zhiyi said disapprovingly, "Yes, I've become bad. Okay, let's get back to work. By the way, how is Old Man Zhang doing? What did the ICU doctor say? Old Man Zhang, when can he be transferred out of the ICU?"
"When I came this morning, I went to the ICU. Doctor Zhang said that Mr. Zhang's condition is relatively stable, but it would be better for him to stay in the ICU for another day to be on the safe side."
Xu Zhiyi nodded. "Okay, then tell the head nurse to get ready to welcome Old Man Zhang back tomorrow."
Xiao Zhao nodded.
Today's task still started with ward rounds. After the rounds, Xu Zhiyi took Xiao Zhao to the emergency room as usual.
Xu Zhiyi didn't see anyone the whole morning and kept muttering to himself: Why does the magic seem to have failed today?
Alas, as expected, whether patients come or not still depends on luck.
That night, Xu Zhiyi stayed in the hospital again, but tonight Xu Zhiyi said she would not let Qin Zheng come to the hospital again.
However, Qin Zheng still brought food to the hospital and had dinner with Xu Zhiyi before reluctantly saying goodbye to Xu Zhiyi and returning home.
Doctor Zhao was on the night shift today, but for some reason, Doctor Zhang returned to the hospital after dinner tonight. Just like Doctor Li last night, he refused to leave no matter what.
In this way, three people plus a nurse were on duty in the cardiothoracic surgery department.
Qin Zheng was filled with reluctance on his way home, mentally cursing those who had been gossiping outside this morning. It was all their fault. If it weren't for them, he would still be staying in the hospital tonight, and Guai Guai wouldn't have driven him back home so late at night to stay alone in the empty room.
Qin Zheng continued to curse as he walked.
At the same time, for some reason, Wu Wei had just returned from his shift in the army.
In the dark night, Wu Wei looked at Qin Zheng's figure, shook his head, and muttered to himself: He must have seen it right, is this Qin Zheng? It's really Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng, why are you back at night? Isn't he going to stay with his wife in the hospital?
Wu Wei quickly stepped forward and said, "Hey, why didn't you stay in the hospital tonight? How did your family send you back?"
Qin Zheng didn't even bother to pay attention to Wu Wei. What Wu Wei said was just rubbing salt into Qin Zheng's wounds. He was too lazy to pay attention to him.
A bunch of people gloating.
Wu Wei smirked and said, "Oh, no way, it's true. Your husband really drove you back. I have to say, your husband still has some dignity, unlike you. He is so thick-skinned that he can't even face people."
Qin Zheng continued to listen to Wu Wei's sarcasm and continued walking on his own.
Wu Wei grabbed Qin Zheng and said, "Damn it, I'm talking to you, can you hear me? Can you please say something back?"
Qin Zheng looked at Wu Wei and said, "It's all because of you. If you hadn't been talking behind my back, I wouldn't have been sent back tonight."
Wu Wei laughed and said, "Pfft, Qin Zheng, you're really screwed since you met your wife. Tell me, ever since you met your wife, that thing on your neck has been filled with water."
Qin Zheng looked at Wu Wei, "Old Wu, if you want to talk nicely, then talk nicely. If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Ever since I returned to the army, you've been acting weird all day long. What do you want to do?
Also, I just love my wife a little more in my life, so what? Life is life, work is work, have I ever made any mistakes at work?
"You didn't make any mistakes, but you didn't perform well either! Qin Zheng, you're different from the rest of us. You have a bright future. You've been studying in the capital for four years, and you've performed exceptionally well during those four years. If you hadn't applied to come back, you would have already settled down in the capital.
You've seen the world, why do you want to stay in this small place like mine? If you work hard and complete a few more missions, you'll be promoted even higher. When you get promoted, wouldn't it be better for you to pamper your wife?"
Qin Zheng patted Wu Wei's shoulder and said, "Old Wu, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I have my own plans. Even if I wanted to go on a mission now, there's no mission for me to go on. As for my promotion, I don't want to think about it right now. I just want to do the things in front of me down to earth.
I can't even handle the things right now, so how can I get a promotion? I'm lucky if they don't devalue me. Old Wu, why are your horizons getting narrower and narrower?"
Wu Wei perfunctorily replied, "Yes, yes, we are not as good as you. We are not as broad-minded as you. Have you eaten yet? If not, come to my house. I'll ask Li Ruonan to cook a few dishes and we can go drink."
Qin Zheng quickly pushed Wu Wei and said, "Goodbye, you should go by yourself. I'm afraid that if I come to your house tonight, people outside will continue to talk about me tomorrow morning.
I'm really impressed by them. Do they really have nothing to do?"
Wu Wei jokingly said, "You don't know this, but this is their fun."
"What's the fun of talking about people behind their backs?"
After Qin Zheng and Wu Wei separated, Qin Zheng returned home, stood in the yard, looked at Hei Qiuqiu's room, sighed, and slowly walked in. Qin Zheng turned on the light in the living room, washed up briefly, and climbed into bed.
This night, Qin Zheng was very uncomfortable. Usually, Qin Zheng would hug Xu Zhiyi when he slept, but this night, Qin Zheng felt empty.
In the darkness, Qin Zheng sat up, looked at the empty space beside him, sighed, then lay down, forcing himself to close his eyes and sleep.
