"Are you bored sitting here?"
“Not boring.”
"Are you thirsty?"
"Not thirsty."
"Then do you want to change places?"
"Okay. Where to?"
Xu Zhiyi smiled and said, "It's already twelve o'clock, aren't you hungry?"
"Are you off work? Shall we go eat?"
"Okay, let's go after I change my clothes."
On the way, Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng chatted casually, and the people going to the cafeteria to eat were also looking at Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng, whispering.
"Hey, look, who's that? Who's that guy next to Doctor Xu? He's so handsome."
"I heard from the surgeon that this is Dr. Xu's target."
"Wow, what a perfect match!"
"Who says it isn't?"
"Tsk, one is a capitalist and the other is from the countryside, they are not even a good match."
"What are you talking about? Even if her family is a capitalist, what does it have to do with you? After all, her father is Xu Chengde. After all, her father is capable. After all, she herself is capable."
"Why would Doctor Xu choose a country boy? He's not a bad guy, but this is a little too unbelievable."
"I don't know either. Who knows what the Xu family is thinking? Could it be because of the An family?"
"Maybe, but the An family is fine too. Besides their bad background, they're bankrupt now. No one knows where An Xiangwen and An Xiangwu from the An family have gone. They even published an announcement in the newspaper severing ties with the Xu family. They've long had no connection with the Xu family."
"Well, as the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush someone. Commander Xu has someone above him, so it could be someone above him. Let's just treat it as a lively meal and don't get involved in anything else."
"That makes sense."
Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng walked along the way, not affected by any outside comments at all, as if they were talking about someone else.
"You are lucky today. We are having braised pork today."
Qin Zheng looked at Xu Zhiyi with eyes full of affection: "Then I am really lucky."
"Let's go. Today, I'll show you the food in our hospital."
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Okay."
Zhang Yumei saw Qin Zheng and Xu Zhiyi chatting and laughing. She recalled the look Xie Heng had given Xu Zhiyi at the social gathering that night and felt dissatisfied with her.
Zhang Yumei cursed inwardly: "You're just being arrogant in the hospital because you have a good father. Now you've even seduced Xie Heng's soul. Xu Zhiyi, you're even more disgusting now than you were in your last life. You deserved it for the suffering your Xu and An families suffered in the northwest in your last life."
And you, Qin Zheng, why haven't you died yet? Why are you still alive and standing in Xie Heng's way? You'd better die sooner rather than later.
Zhang Yumei's colleague asked curiously, "Yumei, is that the guy Dr. Xu met at the social gathering? He seems like an average guy, not particularly talented. How did Dr. Xu choose him?"
"Do you think anyone can become the leader? You want to marry him, but he doesn't even like you."
"Why would he care about me? I'm just a peasant, what's so great about me?"
"But I just don't like you!"
"You... humph."
"Why did Doctor Xu marry a country bumpkin? Even though he's a regimental commander, he's still a bit inferior to the people in our compound. What was Doctor Xu thinking?"
Zhang Yumei sarcastically said, "Don't you think a capitalist and a country girl are a perfect match? Besides, how could those people in our compound be interested in her? What are they thinking? She's just a capitalist, and her background is so complicated. Who in our compound would dare to marry her?"
Some people who couldn't bear to watch asked, "Yumei, what about you? Why did you fall for Xie Heng?"
One of them raised his hand and said, "I know this. It's you, Zhang Yumei, who took a fancy to Xie Heng, the head of a regiment, and so you've been clinging to him relentlessly."
"Hey, Yumei, this is your fault. Although your father is just a battalion commander in the logistics department, at least you can be considered a city dweller thanks to your father. Now, because of Xie Heng's identity, you have been reduced to your original state and become a peasant. And now you still look down on him, look down on that person. Oh my, what can I say to you?"
"Yeah, Yumei, what are you thinking? I've been inseparable from you, so when did you even meet Xie Heng? You even hid this from me. Do you still consider me a friend?"
"She's just afraid that someone else will snatch Xie Heng from her, afraid that someone else will snatch the stepmother position from her."
"Yumei, people need dignity and trees need bark. I will never rush to be someone's stepmother like you in my life. But I will never ruin my own reputation and the face of my whole family for the sake of my future life like you. Yumei, you disappoint us so much." After saying that, the few people took their lunch boxes and left, leaving only Zhang Yumei and a few comrades who had not finished their meal.
Even if Zhang Yumei wanted to get angry, she had no place to vent because of the facts they said. If she really got angry at them now, then her job as a nurse would be over. She couldn't afford to offend any of them, and she didn't dare to offend any of them.
The remaining people looked at Zhang Yumei's expression and locked eyes. "Eat quickly, and leave quickly after you're done."
Only a few people who had a good relationship with Zhang Yumei tried to comfort her, while the rest continued to eat the food in their lunch boxes as if it was none of their business.
"Yumei, they are just jealous of you, don't take it to heart."
"That's right, they're just jealous that you can find a group leader. Although Xie Heng is a second marriage and has children, he is capable and talented, so you will naturally not be far behind in the future."
