Chief Cheng knew about the trouble he had caused Jin Xingqiu and wanted to teach him a lesson, so he told him that Doctor Song was Jin Xingqiu.
Ding Honglei felt that the name Jin Xingqiu was familiar. His lackey whispered something in his ear, and he then remembered that she was the stubborn female doctor whom he had forced the director of Sanhe County People's Hospital to fire!
He didn't even know the person's name before he casually made a move and ruined the person's life.
Ding Honglei's face immediately turned deathly pale.
Beating his chest and stamping his feet in frustration.
It wasn't because I felt sorry for Jin Xingqiu, whose future was ruined and who lost her job for no reason, but because I regretted not making the most of such a good resource.
He decided that once Jin Xingqiu recovered from her illness, he would offer her to Xia Dong.
He keenly sensed that Han Weiguo might be in trouble, so finding a new master was very important.
The Xia family holds a pivotal position in Jiang Province; aligning oneself with the Xia family is a sure win.
Jin Xingqiu's pledge of allegiance is also quite impressive.
His dizziness attack was extremely severe this time, and he lay in bed for three days and three nights in a daze before he fully recovered.
He felt that if this happened again, he definitely wouldn't be able to survive it.
Ding Honglei's lackey followed behind him, carrying a bunch of net bags, which were full of things: cigarettes and alcohol, candy and snacks, face cream and scented soap, and even two pieces of good material.
After a few days apart, Ding Honglei looked noticeably thinner, with large dark circles under his eyes, as if he had just returned from a near-death experience.
However, he came to see Jin Xingqiu, not Su Ruyi.
"Looking for Dr. Jin? She's in class." Su Ruyi saw Ding Honglei and then realized that there was another link in Chief Cheng's elaborate scheme. "If you want to find her, just wait in the backyard."
"Hey! Thanks!" Ding Honglei said with a forced smile as he left, then turned and disappeared into the courtyard.
Jin Xingqiu had just returned to the courtyard when she saw Ding Honglei sitting at the stone table. Naturally, she ignored him and went into her room with a cold face.
"Dr. Jin!" Ding Honglei exclaimed with a broad smile, "Look at this mess! This is a disaster! It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple!"
He stood outside the window, bowing and scraping, apologizing profusely, "Dr. Jin, please don't hold it against me. I'm just a roughneck, please forgive me if I offend you!"
As he spoke, he leaned a little closer: "Dr. Jin, Chief Cheng has already told me that you cured his illness. Chief Cheng is my elder, and we are actually very close!"
Seeing no response from inside, he continued, "Dr. Jin, with just one word from you, I'll immediately reinstate you to your position at Sanhe County People's Hospital! Besides, I've heard you've always been a resident physician, which is a waste of your talents. I think you'd be more suited to be the head of surgery!"
...
There was still no movement inside the house.
Jin Xingqiu had already guessed what was going on—that righteous Chief Cheng must have been trying to get her revenge.
She understood perfectly well that this was all out of respect for Su Ruyi, and her gratitude towards Su Ruyi became even more complicated.
Ding Honglei stood outside the window and talked until his lips were sore, but there was still no sound from inside the room.
A little while later, Su Ruyi returned, carrying two lunchboxes. Without even glancing at Ding Honglei and his lackeys, she knocked directly on Jin Xingqiu's door: "Auntie, Shulan made some dumpling soup, do you want some?"
Recently, Shulan saw that Su Ruyi had finally returned, but she became very attached to her.
She finished reading the book Su Ruyi gave her, and now she has a head full of questions.
I cook her delicious meals every day, and then ask her one question after another.
It must be said that Shulan's dumpling soup is absolutely delicious.
The ingredients are very simple: just lard and scallions stir-fried in oil, with some potatoes and cabbage. But her dough is made very evenly, and after the egg mixture is poured in, I don't know what kind of chemical reaction occurs, but it makes you want to lick the bowl clean after you finish eating.
Su Ruyi suspected that Shulan was using the 5 yuan monthly allowance to treat herself to special meals.
Upon hearing that the dumpling soup had arrived, Jin Xingqiu couldn't resist opening the door.
Ding Honglei hurriedly took the scalding hot lunchbox from Su Ruyi's hands, stubbornly refusing to let go: "It's hot, I'll just put it on the table for you!"
Jin Xingqiu had no choice but to step aside.
And so, Ding Honglei brazenly entered the house.
He rubbed his earlobe with his burning hand, then grinned, his face crinkling with wrinkles, and said, "Dr. Jin, I apologize to you!"
As he spoke, he bowed.
Jin Xingqiu rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Su Ruyi.
Seeing Su Ruyi's expression, she knew what to do.
So she said in a voice filled with extreme disgust, "Get out of here! You've made my room stink! I still need to eat!"
As if he had received a royal decree, Ding Honglei hurriedly backed away, his movements quite exaggerated, taking small, shuffling steps.
Su Ruyi couldn't help but sigh, "This person is truly flexible and adaptable. Perhaps that's why he was able to climb to such a high position!"
Ding Honglei returned to the courtyard, but didn't dare to sit down. He just stood there waiting for Jin Xingqiu to drink the soup.
Jin Xingqiu eats very slowly, stopping after a few bites.
Eat a few more bites, then stop.
Ding Honglei's legs were aching from standing. He had just moved to the stone bench to sit down when he saw Jin Xingqiu's eyes sweep over him.
He immediately jumped up, straightening his back perfectly.
Unexpectedly, after Jin Xingqiu finished eating and washed the lunchbox, she drew the curtains.
Su Ruyi also returned to her room.
Ding Honglei and his lackey stood staring at each other in the yard, both of them hungry.
In the end, the lackey went back to the car and got two hard cornbreads that he used as his own food, and also brought up half a bucket of water, so that the two of them could barely manage to have lunch.
Ding Honglei dried the golden apricots in autumn until dark.
Shulan delivered chive dumplings in the evening.
It's not steamed, it's pan-fried, and its aroma can be smelled from miles away.
Ding Honglei and his lackeys had run out of food.
Although they brought many snacks and canned goods, it was not convenient to open the mesh bags to eat them, so they could only endure the food there.
After finishing her meal and washing her lunchbox, Su Ruyi asked with disgust, "There are only two women in our compound. Is Director Ding planning to have me report you to the police for refusing to leave our compound?"
Ding Honglei looked at Su Ruyi pitifully: "Dr. Su, there's a misunderstanding between us! A very deep misunderstanding! It's all my fault, and I sincerely apologize to you!"
Su Ruyi rolled her eyes at him: "I won't accept it!"
As he spoke, he took the bowl and returned it to Shulan.
Just now, when Su Ruyi served dinner to Jin Xingqiu, she put a note at the bottom of the bowl and handed it to her.
Now, it's her turn to perform.
She opened the door and said to Ding Honglei, "I can save you, but you have to swear that you will never do anything immoral again!"
