Chapter 102 I'm Not Gay
Interview results
Chi Dong also followed to persuade them. Chi's father had never endured the repeated bombardment from the two of them, so he could only compromise with a helpless smile. In fact, his workplace was not far from the hospital, but the mother and son insisted on letting him go and would not let him stay any longer, so he had no choice but to pick up his bag and go to work reluctantly.
After Chi's father left the ward, Chi Dong was left alone with him. The two chatted for a few words, and soon there was a knock on the door.
"Good morning, both of you!"
It's Lu Jinjiang who's here to check on the patients.
"Good morning, Doctor Lu."
"Doctor Lu!" Chi Dong stood up from his chair in surprise.
Lu Jinjiang walked in with a chuckle, his foxy eyes were hidden by the gold-rimmed glasses on his face. When he saw Chi Dong was also in the ward, a hint of ambiguity flashed across his eyes.
Someone called him several times last night while he and his love were having a romantic candlelight dinner to celebrate their second anniversary.
Before he and his lover could take the next step, this guy had no sense of propriety at all and suddenly a phone call came in. But it was also his fault, because who told him not to turn off his phone?
Fortunately, the lover did not care about this little episode. Instead, when he found out that it was Bu Qianli calling, he openly and smiled and let him answer the phone.
Lu Jinjiang glanced at his lover apologetically, shook his hand, and answered the phone unhappily, saying, "Master Bu, what are you doing? Why are you looking for me so late at night?"
"…Did you eat explosives today?"
Lu Jinjiang complained angrily: "What are you eating? You disturbed our anniversary dinner."
"Oh, I'm so sorry." There was no trace of guilt in the tone of the person on the other end.
Lu Jinjiang was so angry that he laughed, "No, you called me just to tell me this? You don't have a nightlife, but I do."
"Okay, stop making trouble. I came to you to find out about Dongdong's family situation."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinjiang's curiosity immediately started to rise again. "Hey, don't you chat with him every day? Why didn't he tell you?"
"……Um."
"Alright, alright, stop pretending to be pitiful." Lu Jinjiang knew that he was serious this time, so he put away his mocking expression and spoke in a serious tone, "Your Dongdong is fine. I heard from his family that he has been busy these days, and it seems that he is attending interviews for recruitment."
"As for her family--" Lu Jinjiang sighed lightly, "The doctor has to keep the patient's condition confidential, so I won't tell you the details. I can only tell you that according to the current treatment progress, her condition has improved. In a few days, when the blood pressure and platelet values return to normal, they can be discharged from the hospital."
"Okay, I understand. Thanks."
Lu Jinjiang joked with him: "If you really want to thank me, then treat us to a big meal. Remember to invite Jiang Ying and Han Yun and the others. It will be more lively with more people."
"Haha, do you really want to see me laugh?
Lu Jinjiang was suddenly speechless. He could even guess this. Wow, he is truly a top student. He can guess what the other person is thinking as soon as he hears it.
"By then, if both of you bring your partners to the appointment, wouldn't I be made a fool of myself?" Bu Qianli snorted coldly, his tone indifferent.
Lu Jinjiang immediately retorted: "Who said you are the only single? Isn't there Cen Siming? But why has he disappeared recently?"
"……you do not know?"
Lu Jinjiang was puzzled: "What?"
"He's been busy chasing people lately and has no time to pay attention to us." The person on the other end of the phone casually said this. This sentence was like a bomb, catching Lu Jinjiang off guard and shocking him.
Lu Jinjiang thought silently. It seemed that he had missed a lot of interesting things during this period of time. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, even he has someone pursuing him. Young Master Bu, why don't you hurry up and grab him?"
"Um."
"But I heard that people outside are saying that you like men. I didn't believe it at first, but this time you visited..." Lu Jinjiang was just trying to take this opportunity to find out when he fell in love with Dongdong and gossip about it, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted indifferently by the other party.
"I'm not gay."
Lu Jinjiang was stunned. He was not gay? Then why did he say he liked Dongdong? Wasn't Dongdong a boy?
"What? Not the same? But you asked me to help..."
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. I have some things to take care of here, so I won't disturb you two from celebrating your anniversary. I'll treat you to dinner later."
"No, hello?" Before Lu Jinjiang could call him, the other party hung up the call, "? You hung up so quickly? I haven't finished asking my question yet!"
Lu Jinjiang looked at his lover in confusion, his mind in a mess.
The next day, when Lu Jinjiang returned to the hospital to prepare for his ward rounds, he recalled what he had said to Bu Qianli last night. He even slowed down his movements in putting on his white coat. He wondered whether he should test Chi Dong on behalf of his good brother.
But then he thought again, that guy disturbed his anniversary party last night, and hung up the phone without listening to his explanation. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. So he decided to just let them deal with it themselves and he wouldn't get involved.
When someone finds out the truth someday, I wonder if he will slap himself in the face. He still refuses to admit that he is gay. Could it be that Dongdong is a girl? A man dressed as a woman?
Isn't this ridiculous? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he is a man.
When Chi Dong saw him coming in, he quickly put down the apple he was peeling, stood up and said with a smile, "Good morning, Doctor Lu."
"Good morning, both of you."
Lu Jinjiang first performed a routine check, then signaled the nurse to change the medicine. After finishing everything, he whispered a few words to Chi Dong and left the ward with the nurse.
During this time, Chi Dong remembered what the nurse told him yesterday, so after hesitating for a while, he asked Lu Jinjiang about his current condition. He learned that his condition had improved and he would be able to be discharged from the hospital after some time.
"Thank you, Doctor Lu, Miss Nurse, thank you so much." Chi Dong bowed to Lu Jinjiang and the nurse with gratitude.
Seeing this, Lu Jinjiang quickly turned aside without leaving a trace. He was not the one who should be thanked. If someone knew that he had taken the credit, his gift would be wasted.
"You're welcome. Since there's nothing else, we'll continue our rounds. The patient needs to have a good rest." After saying that, he left the ward without stopping.
Mother Chi looked at Lu Jinjiang's departing back and couldn't help but sigh, "Dr. Lu is such a good person."
"Yes." Chi Dong nodded in agreement, but he was worried in his heart about how to repay the great favor of killing a man every ten steps.
Chi Dong stayed in the hospital until 5pm. During this time, his phone was terribly quiet. Not to mention emails, there was not even a spam message. He looked at the phone for a few seconds in disappointment, then put it on the table beside him and stopped paying attention to it.
It just so happened that my father got off work early at this time, and on the way back he bought three large boxes of rice with different dishes.
"Dad, why did you get off work so early today?" Chi Dong hurriedly stepped forward and took the heavy bag in his hand, saying in confusion.
The father was beaming with joy, no longer looking depressed: "My boss thought I did a good job, so he allowed me to leave work early, and he also gave me a salary."
"I'm so happy, so I bought your favorite dishes." Chi's father helped Chi Dong set up the bedside table, and he didn't forget to remind him, "But, honey, you are still in the treatment period, you can't eat too greasy food, I bought you some light food."
Chi Dong opened the bag and was greeted by an appetizing smell. "It's garlic-flavored pork ribs and fish-flavored eggplant and minced meat. So fragrant."
"Hurry up and eat." Chi Fule's eyes were almost smiling. He walked to his wife with two boxes of different soups and carefully placed them on the table. "Honey, drink some soup first. I picked all these at the market and paid the store to make the soup for me. They say it has the effect of nourishing qi and blood. Come and try it."
Seeing her lover and son by her side, Mother Chu's heart was filled with warmth. She took the spoon with a smile and ate slowly.
The two people were being affectionate here. Chi Dong, who had been single for more than 20 years, couldn't help but shook his head and smiled when he saw this. He didn't want to disturb them, so he sat on the sofa and ate quietly.
When he was halfway through his meal, the cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated a few times. Chi Dong thought it was a spam message, so he decided to deal with it after he finished his meal so that it wouldn't take up the phone's memory.
Before he could continue eating, the sound of receiving an email suddenly rang in his mailbox. He had set this up before to prevent himself from not being able to check emails in time. After all, many companies deliver information by email.
Hearing the voice, Chi Dong was stunned for a moment, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Could it be a message from ET. Company?
Thinking of this, he didn't even stop eating. He quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, ignored the puzzled looks from Chi's father and the others, stood up and grabbed the phone from the table, his fingers trembling slightly.
He stared at the dark screen for a few seconds, then finally gritted his teeth and opened the screen. The result almost pissed him off. Even he, who always hated swearing, almost couldn't help but curse in a low voice. However, the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he still held them back.
The text message was not the interview result he had been longing for, but a spam message from some malicious software that was trying to steal his privacy.
What a false alarm!
Chi Dong sighed silently and lowered his eyes. His long, curved eyelashes hid the loss in his eyes. Just when he was about to put down his phone and continue eating, he suddenly stopped.
He suddenly remembered that he had only read the text messages, but had not yet opened the email message, so he opened the software without any expectations.
"Huh? ET. Technology?" Chi Dong's breathing stagnated when he saw the title of the email unexpectedly. He couldn't help but clench the phone in his hand, and his heartbeat began to accelerate.
His voice attracted his father and mother who were chatting nearby.
"My dear, what's wrong?" Mother Chu had never seen him so out of control. She thought something big had happened, so she quickly put down her chopsticks, touched her lover beside her, and motioned for him to go and take a look.
"Dad, Mom, I, I passed the interview." Chi Dong suppressed his excitement and shook his phone unconsciously. On the top of the screen was an email with several key words "ET. Technology" written on it.
My father took the phone and read the email carefully for no less than three times. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "Hahahaha, he is worthy of being my son. He even got an offer letter from a listed company. He is really amazing."
"Need I say more? Our baby has always been the best." Chi's mother was happy for Chi Dong from the bottom of her heart. The pain from the treatment these days was relieved a lot because of this happy event.
Father Chi smiled from ear to ear, holding onto his phone tightly. "By the way, when did they ask you to sign the contract?"
Chi Dong said cheerfully, "Be at their company on time at 9:30 the day after tomorrow. If you are late, your employment qualification will be revoked."
"The day after tomorrow at 9:30, you must remember it well, and don't forget such an important thing." Father Chi frowned his rough eyebrows and reminded.

Mini-theater:
——In the hospital if line, Bu Qianli comes to find her good friend Lu Jinjiang.
Lu Jinjiang (with bad intentions): Say it again, what are you not?
Bu Qianli (resolutely denies three times): I am not gay, I am not gay, I am not gay.
At this time outside the door——
Chi Dong (his face turned pale) (his heart was dead): I understand.
