Chapter 29 Wandering
"Hey, grandpa, how are you feeling lately? Are you feeling well?" Zhou Jingzhan's attitude was astonishingly good.
Zhou Qing didn't fall for his sugar-coated words: "Yunqi has been back home for several days, and you still haven't brought him back for dinner. Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
He had no intention of taking Chu Yunqi home in the first place, and now that they had quarreled, he couldn't go back. Zhou Jingzhan made an excuse: "How could I, Grandpa? There are so many things to do in the department. How can we go back? We can't just leave the patients alone to please you."
A doctor came in from the elevator and greeted him. Zhou Jingzhan nodded.
Zhou Qing seemed to have let himself go since he retired, becoming less and less serious, like an old child: "I don't care, no matter how busy you are, you still have time for a meal. If not, come over after get off work in the evening, or I will come to see you."
With other people around, Zhou Jingzhan returned to his usual cold tone, saying, "We had a fight, and I can't go back. So don't come over."
While he was talking, Zhou Jingzhan got off the elevator. A bunch of people were waiting for him. Zhou Jingzhan seemed to have seized the opportunity: "Okay, Grandpa, I have something to do. I'll hang up first. I'll come back to see you when I have time."
After seeing him hang up the phone, everyone asked about the outcome. Zhou Jingzhan said briefly that it was okay and walked towards the office.
When he looked up, he saw Ji Hong standing in front of him with a shy look on her face.
Zhou Jingzhan felt it was unbelievable: "Be normal, tell me what you want to say."
Ji Hong pretended to be shy and said, "I heard from Professor Chu that you prepared a gift for me."
Zhou Jingzhan was embarrassed for a moment, then took out the box and handed it to him: "I didn't buy it, Chu Yunqi asked me to give it to you, happy birthday."
"Wow, Director Zhou is so generous." Ji Hong took a look at the exquisitely packaged box and laughed at him, "Don't be embarrassed. Professor Chu told me that it was obviously something you wanted to give it to me."
Before Zhou Jingzhan could think of a reasonable excuse, Ji Hong said, "I'm treating everyone to dinner tonight, so remember to come."
Ji Hong ran away before Zhou Jingzhan could say no.
Chu Yunqi and his two companions arrived in Lhasa at 7 pm.
After getting off the plane, the two people who had been shouting about being strong and healthy became listless and could not even walk. They leaned on Chu Yunqi on both sides, barely surviving. Chu Yunqi held two oxygen cylinders to help them breathe oxygen.
"I told you to drive here, but you two were too lazy to drive. This is your karma." Chu Yunqi seemed to be gloating.
Lu Wen Ning felt so miserable that he felt like he was going to die. He even began to leave a last word: "Brother, I may not make it to the hospital. My entire life's reputation has been ruined here. How can I die from altitude sickness..."
His emotions directly affected Xia Baiming: "Yunqi, if I really can't go back, for the sake of our brotherhood, you must take care of the company for me..."
"Look at you two, you're half dead. It's so annoying." Chu Yunqi put the oxygen cylinder back on them and took out two bags of glucose powder from his pockets: "Drink some water and you'll be fine."
Xia Baiming and Lu Wen Ning looked at each other, took it half-believingly, and drank the glucose water one sip at a time.
Half an hour later, the two men felt refreshed and instantly thought that Chu Yunqi was playing tricks on them, holding the "magic weapon" for a long time before taking it out.
So Chu Yunqi suffered a lot that night. His ID card, mobile phone and wallet were all taken away by Lu Wen Ning. Xia Baiming spent 68 yuan to book a youth hostel for him, and then turned around and went to a five-star hotel not far away with Lu Wen Ning arm in arm.
Without a cell phone and no money, Chu Yunqi cried out to heaven and earth but to no avail. He thought it was just one night and he could just bear it, but he really couldn't stand the living conditions in the youth hostel anymore! ! !
At nine o'clock in the evening, when it was still daylight, Chu Yunqi was wandering alone on the street. In the end, he pawned the watch that he had cheated from Zhou Jingzhan. Because he could only accept cash, he sold the watch worth 970,000 yuan at a low price of 42,870 yuan.
Chu Yunqi went out with cash in his hand and bought a new cell phone, then he froze in his tracks again because he couldn't remember the numbers of those two bastards.
At the same time, most of the people in the cardiothoracic surgery department were still busy, and only a small number of them had time, so they could barely get together to sit at a table.
With Zhou Jingzhan around, the atmosphere was not as lively as before.
Suddenly Zhou Jingzhan's cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. He hung up, but the other party kept calling. Zhou Jingzhan didn't think it was important, so he didn't go out. He didn't say anything after the call was connected, but just left the call hanging, waiting for him to hang up.
Chu Yunqi called out for a long time but no one answered. In this situation, he couldn't be tough anymore and could only shout, "Zhou Jingzhan!!!"
Chu Yunqi's voice suddenly came from the phone that was left aside. Everyone at the table felt it was strange, and Zhou Jingzhan was no exception. He apologized and prepared to leave.
It was unknown whether they were sincere or pretending, or simply wanted to hear gossip. They all said it was okay and asked Zhou Jingzhan to stay. Zhou Jingzhan could only answer: "Why is it you?"
Chu Yunqi continued to shout like an idiot, "I forgive you! Can you please give me Lu Wenning and Xia Baiming's phone numbers? They left me on the streets of Lhasa!"
His voice was so loud that everyone in the room heard it and lowered their heads trying hard to suppress their laughter.
"..." Zhou Jingzhan was silent for a while: "Can you speak more quietly? I can hear you. Where are you now?"
As luck would have it, when Zhou Jingzhan was saying the first half of his sentence, a car sped past Chu Yunqi, causing him to only hear the last half: "I'm in Lhasa! They took my ID card! I can't stay in a hotel! They just left me at a youth hostel and left!"
Ji Hong couldn't help laughing. Zhou Jingzhan felt that Chu Yunqi's image could no longer be preserved, so he said bluntly, "I don't think you need to come back."
Chu Yunqi was very puzzled: "I still have to go back! I just came out to relax!"
Now several colleagues laughed. After listening to the conversation between the two people, they felt that Zhou Jingzhan was not that aloof and was quite down-to-earth.
"You ran off to Lhasa without a word, had your best friend confiscate your phone and ID card and dumped you in a youth hostel, and were still wandering the streets at nine o'clock that evening. Half the department has heard your story. Do you think you need to come back?"
Chu Yunqi hung up the phone expressionlessly.
Zhou Jingzhan ignored him, blocked the number, put down the phone, and said casually: "Don't worry about him, let's eat."
After the call ended, Ji Hong immediately took the lead in gossiping, but felt that if he asked too directly, Zhou Jingzhan might not tell him, so he placed the beer bottle in the middle of the table: "How about this, let's play a game to liven up the atmosphere. Spin the bottle, and whoever the bottle points to has to answer the question. You must tell the truth. If you don't say it..."
Ji Hong picked up the mustard and soy sauce next to him and poured it into the beer. He then asked the waiter to bring him a whole tube of mustard and added a lot of it, making a cup of something that irritated the eyes: "Don't talk about drinking this."
The table was full of young people, nearly half of whom were interns just starting out, so the atmosphere quickly became lively.
