Jiang Jingxue didn't indulge her either.
"Yue Keqi, don't be ungrateful! Have you ever seen anyone taking care of a patient wear clothes like yours?"
Jiang Jingxue simply grabbed a piece of clothing from the corner and tossed it to her.
"If you want to work here, you have to wear this. Whether you change or not is up to you!"
Yue Keqi picked up the clothes.
It's tattered and covered in patches, and the style is outdated. It's so ugly!
Yue Keqi looked disgusted, but had no choice but to put it on.
The moment she put on that dress, she looked twenty years older.
"Alright, go and prepare the medicine for the patient!"
Jiang Jingxue waved her hand and sent Yue Keqi to brew the medicine.
Yue Keqi sat by the stove, fanning herself to start a fire and brew medicine.
Just then, Gu Pingwei came over on business and also came to see Jiang Jingxue.
I heard that Yue Keqi stayed behind to help again, so I'll check to see if she's up to any trouble.
After Gu Pingwei entered, he looked around but didn't see Yue Keqi.
"Wasn't Miss Yue supposed to stay and help? Where is she?"
“Look, that’s not it.”
Jiang Jingxue gestured with her eyes.
Gu Pingwei looked over.
All that could be seen was a figure that appeared to be a middle-aged woman.
Yue Keqi also heard Gu Pingwei's voice.
She turned her head back.
"Brother Pingwei, I'm here!"
When Gu Pingwei saw her attire, especially the soot marks on her face, she looked like a refugee.
Gu Pingwei was utterly astonished.
She no longer has any of her usual airs of a young lady.
Yue Keqi saw the surprise in Gu Pingwei's eyes.
She looked down at her outfit and knew without a doubt that she must look disheveled.
Yue Keqi stood up abruptly, pointed at Jiang Jingxue, and said, "Jiang Jingxue, did you do this on purpose? You deliberately made me dress so ugly, to embarrass me in front of Brother Pingwei! You're such a scheming woman!"
Jiang Jingxue was utterly speechless.
"Yue Keqi, don't cause trouble! Everyone working here wears this!"
After Jiang Jingxue finished speaking, she secretly winked at Gu Pingwei.
Gu Pingwei understood, quickly coughed lightly, and praised, "Your outfit has a unique beauty."
"Really?"
"Yes, labor is the most glorious thing, and this uniform looks especially good on me!"
Gu Pingwei's praise made Yue Keqi so happy that she was completely overwhelmed and her mind became muddled.
She lowered her head shyly.
"Then... then I'll dress like this from now on, okay?"
"The medicine is ready. Go and deliver it to the patient."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Yue Keqi was incredibly efficient at her work. She quickly prepared the medicine and delivered it to the patient, showing great enthusiasm and a much better attitude towards patients.
This earth-shattering change completely surprised Jiang Jingxue.
Looks like he's love-struck...
It exists in every era.
"Gu Pingwei, I need to discuss something with you."
Jiang Jingxue pulled Gu Pingwei aside and whispered, "Can you come here every day from now on?"
Gu Pingwei looked at Jiang Jingxue with some confusion.
"Didn't you see? You just praised her a couple of times, and she was like she'd been injected with adrenaline. You can motivate lazy comrades with just a few words, isn't that great?"
Gu Pingwei finally understood what Jiang Jingxue was planning.
So it turns out he was supposed to use his good looks to encourage Yue Keqi.
Gu Pingwei felt somewhat displeased.
He's her fiancé. Doesn't she feel jealous at all that he encourages other women?
Or perhaps, she wasn't in love with him?
Is she only staying by his side because of their engagement?
Actually, she already had someone she loved.
"Major, there's a new development with the villagers; we need you to go and take a look."
Chen Hong came in and asked Gu Pingwei to leave.
After Yue Keqi finished distributing the medicine to the patient, she turned around but didn't see Gu Pingwei.
Where is Pingwei?
"He had something to do and went to take care of it."
In order to make good use of Yue Keqi as a source of labor, Jiang Jingxue kept brainwashing her.
"Gu Pingwei said he likes your outfit today."
"He also said that he likes diligent, obedient, and gentle women. The way you were delivering medicine to the patient just now showed him another side of you."
Jiang Jingxue brought up Gu Pingwei and casually praised Yue Keqi a few times.
Yue Keqi was immediately overjoyed and asked back with a shy smile.
"Really? Did Brother Pingwei really say that?"
"Of course, would I lie to you?"
Jiang Jingxue's words gave Yue Keqi hope.
She always felt that if she performed well, she could win Gu Pingwei's favor.
In the work that followed, Yue Keqi was incredibly proactive.
She fed the patient medicine, patted his cough, and was both kind and gentle.
Even the patients found it unbelievable.
Where did that arrogant and domineering young lady go?
The girl in front of me is clearly gentle and capable!
Her attitude changed way too fast!
Dr. Niu approached Jiang Jingxue.
"Madam, I heard from the children that a woman came to help yesterday. She was fierce, had a bad attitude, and even argued with the patient. But she seems to be doing fine today. Could it be that they've changed her?"
Dr. Niu's soft chirping of crickets was accidentally overheard by Yue Keqi.
"No, it wasn't changed. That person is me!"
"I just arrived yesterday and I'm not very knowledgeable. I've offended you a lot. I will try harder in the future."
Seeing Yue Keqi's smiling face, Doctor Niu felt the embarrassment of being caught red-handed talking badly about someone behind their back.
