Chapter 21 The Power of the Lucky Charm (Part 2) ...
In the blink of an eye it was the next day.
After one night, Liao Yanyan's courage returned.
She was so happy that she almost laughed out loud at the thought that she would never see Gu Ruyi again.
After changing into her newly bought pink suit and black shiny leather shoes, Liao Yanyan hummed a song as she went to work.
As a result, she met Gu Ruyi in the infirmary.
Liao Yanyan's rosy face instantly turned gloomy and a little distorted.
"Why are you back?"
Gu Ruyi smiled so kindly, "Auntie, I'm a health worker in the infirmary. Where else can I go if I don't go back to the infirmary?"
Seeing Gu Ruyi's cheerful face, even more cheerful than before, Liao Yanyan almost got angry, "Weren't you arrested?"
Gu Ruyi raised her right eyebrow playfully, "Auntie, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I went there to cooperate with the leaders, and they didn't arrest me."
Liao Yanyan didn't believe it at all, "You're just bragging! What kind of work can they let a yellow-haired girl like you cooperate with?"
Gu Ruyi blinked her eyes, "That's a secret, Auntie, are you sure you want to listen?"
Liao Yanyan: Of course...I dare not.
Although she was not well educated, she had heard the saying "the more you know, the faster you die."
Especially things related to the Revolutionary Committee.
Then you must definitely get as far away as possible.
Because of her fear of the Revolutionary Committee, Liao Yanyan remained silent.
Soon, Wang Shengnan also arrived.
Wang Shengnan was very surprised to see Gu Ruyi. Her misty eyes suddenly brightened up. "Girl, you're back. Are you okay?"
Gu Ruyi smiled and replied, "It's okay, it's okay."
Wang Shengnan patted her chest and said, "I'm glad you're okay. I was so worried yesterday that I only ate two bowls of rice."
Gu Ruyi: Two bowls of rice...is that not enough?
But looking at Wang Shengnan's overall appearance, two bowls may indeed be a bit too little for her.
"Thank you, Sister Shengnan. I knew you were the best."
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is good enough that Wang Shengnan can say those words, and Gu Ruyi is also happy to say nice things to maintain a good relationship between colleagues.
Wang Shengnan waved her hand, "Hey! I'm glad you're okay."
“Ouch, ouch…”
A patient has arrived.
Wang Shengnan usually took care of the patients, but unfortunately, she happened to be in urgent need of treatment, so she could only say to Liao Yanyan: "Sister Liao, can you help this comrade?"
As for why she didn’t call Gu Ruyi, it was of course because she was a newcomer and Wang Shengnan was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to handle it.
When Liao Yanyan saw the greasy patient, she couldn't help but frown. She turned her face to the side and pouted, "Well... well, you said you were very good! Come here."
Gu Ruyi: "Okay, Auntie."
Liao Yanyan: Damn! She hated the word 'auntie'.
The patient who just came was indeed a bit dirty, with black and yellow patches on his face, and it was hard to tell what he looked like.
But Gu Ruyi didn't despise them at all. They were hard-working people. It was just that their working environment was a little dirty, but they were not stealing.
"Comrade, what's wrong with you?"
Being looked at tenderly by Gu Ruyi, the patient's old face turned red and he instantly felt less uncomfortable.
"Doctor, I have a terrible headache and feel a little nauseous."
It could be a cold.
Gu Ruyi handed the patient a thermometer and said, "Take your temperature first."
"Okay, thank you comrade."
Liao Yanyan had been paying attention. Seeing that Gu Ruyi had just given her a thermometer, she couldn't help but curl her lips, "You talked so much, but in the end, this is it..."
Gu Ruyi spread her hands and said, "I can't help it. I'm just a nurse and I don't know anything. I don't know what disease the patient has and I don't know what medicine to prescribe. Auntie, you are an experienced person and you must be very capable. Why don't you take a look?"
Liao Yanyan's whole body froze. If she had the ability to treat patients, why would she need to be a nurse serving people?
Wait, it was Gu Ruyi who was bragging, what does it have to do with her?
Liao Yanyan, who was almost dragged into the ditch, glared at Gu Ruyi fiercely, "Little girl, stop playing tricks on me. It's you who are bragging, what does it have to do with me? Stop bringing me up..."
As soon as Dr. Chen entered the room, the first thing he heard was Liao Yanyan's chattering voice.
She frowned immediately.
Only when she saw Gu Ruyi taking care of the patient and considerately handing the patient a towel to wash his face did her brows relax.
“Ahem…”
Two coughs warned Liao Yanyan, and Dr. Chen quickly asked, "What's wrong with this comrade?"
The patient described his symptoms, and Dr. Chen looked at the thermometer again and found that the patient had a slight fever, so he concluded that it was a cold.
"You may have caught a cold last night. I'll get you two tablets of Analgin. Take them at home, drink more hot water, and have a good sleep. You should be fine."
After the patient left, Doctor Chen said solemnly, "Liao Yanyan, please be less talkative when you have patients in the future. This is a clinic, not a market."
Why were they saying that about her? Liao Yanyan was not convinced.
"Doctor Chen, I'm not the only one speaking."
Doctor Chen doesn’t understand Liao Yanyan yet! He asked her back, "Did you say it first or did Xiao Gu say it first?"
Liao Yanyan was stumped by the question, but she still refused to give in. "It was Gu Ruyi who first said that someone was better than me yesterday."
Doctor Chen frowned even more when he heard this. "I clearly said this, why are you blaming Xiao Gu again?"
Doctor Chen was obviously protecting Gu Ruyi. Liao Yanyan was so angry that she burst out, "Doctor Chen, you are too biased. How am I inferior to Gu Ruyi? She is just a newcomer. I should be better than her in terms of seniority and skills!"
Doctor Chen almost laughed out of anger, good technique? Others, Gu Ruyi, can use flying needles, but what about her? The patient was almost stabbed into a hornet's nest by her.
He still has the nerve to say that he has good skills, it's really laughable.
"Great joy, great joy!"
Just when Dr. Chen was about to tell the truth, Director Jiang walked in with a happy look on his face.
"Director, what's the good news?" asked Doctor Chen.
Director Jiang joyfully took out the banner in his hand, and looked at Gu Ruyi with eyes comparable to those of a real father, full of love.
"Of course it's all thanks to Xiao Gu. She actually saved a big leader yesterday, and he sent us a banner."
Doctor Chen was immediately overjoyed, "It really is a silk banner!"
For doctors, receiving a banner is even more gratifying than receiving a bonus.
Although the banner was not given to her, Gu Ruyi is from their clinic, so rounding it off, it is also an honor for their clinic.
"Xiao Gu, you are so awesome. Tell me quickly, how did you save her?" Wang Shengnan, who arrived later, praised Gu Ruyi desperately.
Gu Ruyi didn't expect that Mr. Qi would give her a banner.
It's so ostentatious that it makes her feel embarrassed.
Gu Ruyi gave Wang Shengnan an awkward smile, "Sister Wang, I'm sorry, the leader asked for confidentiality."
In fact, no, but as a medical worker, it is professional ethics not to disclose patient information. She didn't want to spoil the fun, so she had to pull the saw and raise the flag.
Wang Shengnan really believed it, and even became more excited, "I understand, I understand. The situation of the big leaders is not something that small people like us can know."
"But thinking about it, I am still very happy. I was worried about you yesterday, but I didn't expect that your luck would turn around. Not only was you fine, but you also saved the big boss. You will definitely not have to worry about your life in the future. Don't forget each other when you become rich and powerful, sister."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ruyi looked at the banner and joked, "My wealth is there, go touch it and get some good luck."
"Smart!" Wang Shengnan gave Gu Ruyi a thumbs up and actually touched the banner.
Everyone in the room was very happy except Liao Yanyan, whose eyes were red with blood and her mouth was almost twisted with anger.
The power of the banner did not stop there. After a while, the factory leaders also came.
The person who came was the deputy director. When he saw Gu Ruyi, the smile on his face was brighter than the chrysanthemum.
"Comrade Xiao Gu, you are the one who saved the life. Well done! You did a great job on your first day at work. You are truly a pillar of our factory."
This compliment is too high.
Gu Ruyi was extremely terrified. "Director, you think too highly of me. I just happened to meet you."
The deputy director waved his hand and said, "Xiao Gu, you are too modest. If you don't have the ability, it will be useless even if you encounter it. Anyway, you are a good person. You should prepare yourself. The factory will hold a celebration party for you later. You can tell us about your feelings and experiences of saving people and set an example for everyone."
〣(Δ)〣
What? If I were to speak in front of the whole factory, it would be too ostentatious.
Gu Ruyi didn't want to be watched like a monkey, and her whole body was full of resistance, "Director, this is not necessary..."
Deputy Director: "We will also give you a prize, a Phoenix brand bicycle."
"In addition, you will be promoted to Level 2 worker as an exception."
This is the benefit of saving the old leader. If it was an ordinary person, the factory would not be so generous.
Gu Ruyi immediately changed her tone, "Okay, I will definitely be ready."
The bicycle did not attract Gu Ruyi, but the salary.
Gu Ruyi is currently a first-level worker with a salary of 18.5. If he becomes a second-level worker, his salary will be 24.
An extra 5.5 a month is actually not of much use to Gu Ruyi who already has a system.
But outsiders don’t know! With a few more dollars, no one would suspect anything if she occasionally indulged herself in luxury.
As soon as the deputy director left, Gu Ruyi immediately started writing the speech.
No one else disturbed her except Liao Yanyan, who was feeling upset and accidentally tripped over the broom and knocked over the cup.
After she accidentally spilled the medicine again, the deputy director suddenly appeared behind her and said faintly, "Your name is Liao Yanyan, right?"
Liao Yanyan almost lost her soul.
"Ahhh, Deputy Director..."
Why did the deputy director suddenly appear?
The deputy director ignored the fact that Liao Yanyan was frightened to death and coldly scolded her, "Shut up. You are so old and still making a fuss. Are you so impatient? If I see you not taking it seriously again, I will send you to do odd jobs in the warehouse. Do you hear me?"
Liao Yanyan shuddered instantly. The work in the warehouse was dirty and tiring. After working all day, she would be covered in dust from head to toe, but she would never go there.
"Got it, Deputy Director."
The deputy director really wanted to give Liao Yanyan a slap in the face.
Gu Ruyi, a newcomer, knows to call him director, but Liao Yanyan, an old employee, calls him deputy all the time. It's really tactless.
Liao Yanyan turned around and wiped her tears in anger. The deputy director actually said that she was old. How could she be old?
He is so bad at speaking, no wonder he is still the deputy director even with his gray hair.
The deputy director strolled behind Gu Ruyi again. When he saw that Gu Ruyi had stopped writing, he couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Gu, are you done?"
Gu Ruyi nodded slightly.
The deputy director immediately took the speech and within two minutes he was slapping his thigh.
"Well, well written!"
Gu Ruyi: Embarrassing~
As expected, nonsense literature is the most popular in official circles.
That’s right, although Gu Ruyi wrote a long article, in fact, the whole article was full of nonsense, praising the country and the leaders, and writing about life and philosophy.
There are so many profound truths, but not a single one of them is useful. When she was writing, she felt so corny that she got goosebumps all over her body.
But this kind of nonsense literature is actually what the official likes the most.
Look, the deputy director was easily captured!
The deputy director was worried that Gu Ruyi might not be able to write a good speech and came to give her guidance. He never expected that although Gu Ruyi was young, her writing skills were better than his.
She is trouble-free, excellent, and good-looking. She is exactly the legendary child from other people's families. At this moment, the deputy director is extremely envious of Gu Ruyi's parents, envious that they got such a good daughter for free.
But in fact, Gu's mother had been scolding Gu Ruyi for several days in a row.
There was no other reason, except that she found out that Gu Ruyi had lied to her.
On the third day after Gu Ruyi left home, her mother rushed to find her in a hurry to get some benefits.
As a result, not to mention the person, even the shadow was not seen.
After that, she waited for a few more days before she heard from others that Gu Ruyi had not returned at all.
When she realized she had been cheated, Gu's mother almost vomited blood in anger.
However, since she couldn't find the person, it was useless for her to be angry to death. There was no other way, Gu's mother could only vent her anger by scolding Gu Ruyi.
The commendation meeting started soon.
After all, he has been to college, served in the student union, and seen big scenes.
In front of hundreds of workers, Gu Ruyi showed no sign of shyness and read out the contents of the speech confidently.
She speaks with a clear voice, is beautiful, and is simply charming when she smiles.
Not to mention men, even many young girls like her.
Just as the commendation meeting was over, a group of excited young people started chattering.
"Ahhh...Comrade Gu is so beautiful, I like her so much, it would be great if she were my wife." This excited lesbian.
"Li Jiahui, when you said that, did you forget that you are a woman? I am the one who will marry you. You should just go wherever you want."
"Bah! Li Zhiguo, you are really an ugly person who dreams of beauty. You look like a toad and yet you dare to dream of a beautiful woman. You are shameless."
"What's wrong with me being average looking? I'm a man, honest and family-oriented."
"Ugh... Being honest and caring about the family is more like being a coward."
"Li Jiahui, I'm going to fight you."
"Come on, who's afraid of you!"
On this day, Gu Ruyi was truly in great glory.
But this was far from over. She was pushing her new bicycle home from get off work and had just entered her rented house when Qi Lin arrived.
Qi Lin was quite low-key when he came, just riding a bicycle.
But there were a lot of things on his bicycle. There was a big package stuffed in the front frame, three layers of wooden boxes tied to the back seat, and even two chickens hanging on the bicycle frame. He was simply using the bicycle as a truck.
Gu Ruyi was stunned.
"Qi...Comrade Qi, what are you doing?"
“Are you moving?”
Upon hearing this, Qi Lin's face turned bitter. Of course he wanted to move, to move next door to Gu Ruyi and meet her every day.
It's a pity that there are no vacancies next door.
Qi Lian pushed the bicycle directly into Gu Ruyi's yard and said, "Comrade Gu, I really look forward to the day when we can be neighbors, but you misunderstood. These are the thank-you gifts my family asked me to buy. Thank you for saving my grandfather's life."
It turned out to be a thank you gift.
A rich family! Gu Ruyi understands that using money to buy off favors is good for you, me, and everyone else.
Gu Ruyi, who understood, said modestly, "Your family is really polite."
Qi Lian: Why does it feel like Gu Ruyi has become much more distant from him in an instant?
Could it be that he felt that his parents didn't come in person and didn't take him seriously enough?
Qi Lin, who had misunderstood, quickly explained, "Comrade Xiao Gu, my mother was originally going to thank you in person, but unfortunately, she happened to be on a business trip, so I had to come."
What a coincidence!
Just listen to this.
Gu Ruyi didn't believe it at all.
However, Gu Ruyi still followed Qi Lin's words and said, "I understand. Besides, your presence here already shows that you value me enough."
Qi Lin blushed.
Skipping this topic, Qi Lin pointed to a few boxes of things on the back seat of the bicycle and said, "Comrade Xiao Gu, these are some dried seafood and two large hams. They are a bit heavy. Let me help you move them into the house!"
"good!"
With Gu Ruyi's words, Qi Lin rolled up his sleeves and moved all three boxes of things into the house at once.
After moving all the things, Qi Lin reached into his pocket and took out a black cloth bag and... two movie tickets.
Gu Ruyi:? ? ?
Qi Lian lowered his voice and said, "Comrade Xiao Gu, here are 500 yuan and some bills. They are my family's real thank-you gift."
"Your family is... too generous."
Gu Ruyi was really shocked. The things that Qi Lian moved were worth a lot of money at a casual calculation, but she didn't expect him to give her so much money.
There are so many thank-you gifts just for saving an old man. Is this a scam?
Or is this the power of a lucky charm?
Gu Ruyi's expression was too obvious. If it were someone else, the protective Qi Lin would definitely turn around and leave.
But if it were Gu Ruyi...
This cannot be blamed on her. As a girl, she should be more cautious.
The double standards are obvious.
"Actually, my family originally wanted to find you a job, but I heard that you passed the steel rolling mill exam, so you can only get the same salary. So Comrade Gu, don't feel burdened, just take it."
Qi Lin's words dispelled Gu Ruyi's doubts, but she was still puzzled when she looked at the two movie tickets, "This... is also" a thank-you gift?
Qi Lian: “Ahem…”
After pretending to cough twice, Qi Lin's eyes wandered, "Uh... yes."
The expression on someone's face that showed he was lying was too obvious, but Gu Ruyi was not a three-year-old child, so she immediately understood that these two movie tickets must have been bought by someone secretly.
Sima's intentions are simply too obvious.
What a pity!
Gu Ruyi felt regretful.
If Qi Lian were an ordinary person, Gu Ruyi might agree.
Putting aside other things, just because he is good-looking, you won’t be at a disadvantage if you have a talk with him.
However, Qi Lian is the heroine's white moonlight, destined to have a short life.
If you stay with him, not only will you become a widow at a young age, but you will also be hated by the heroine.
The first point was okay, if a person is gone, he is gone, you can always find a new one.
But the last point...
Gu Ruyi really doesn't want to be hated by the heroine.
Gu Ruyi pretended not to notice the anticipation in Qi Lin's eyes, picked up the movie ticket, checked the time and said, "Oh! It happens to be my day off, so I can watch the movie with my new friend. Your mother is so thoughtful, please thank her for me."
New friends!
Qi Lian didn't care that his little plan had failed. Alarm bells were ringing in his heart, and he wondered if Gu Ruyi's friend could be a boy.
"Haha... you've already made friends after just starting work. They must be lesbians who share the same ideals as you!"
Someone's intention to test her was too obvious. Gu Ruyi wanted to make that person give up, so she pretended to be shy and said "hmm" twice.
But when he saw her reaction, Qi Lin's heart broke into pieces.
Gu Ruyi was obviously lying. Anyone who mentioned her female friends would reveal the attitude of a young girl in love.
It’s obvious that he’s a dog and a man.
Yes, who!
Which fox, raccoon or spirit is it?
He wanted to kill the man who dared to steal his wife.
The anger in his heart was worse than a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years and then erupted, but on the surface, Qi Lin looked extremely sad.
"Okay... OK! Comrade Xiao Gu, you go ahead and do your work. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Seeing someone looking as aggrieved as a 300-pound dog, Gu Ruyi's heart softened a little, and she said softly, "Goodbye, Comrade Qi. Be careful on the road and stay safe."
Qi Lian was delighted.
It turns out that what my dad taught me was right, showing weakness is a man’s best weapon.
He left with this expression, and as soon as Gu Ruyi closed the door, Qi Lin's expression turned fierce.
Wang Erhu, who was standing not far away, shuddered in vain.
Oh no, Brother Qi is going crazy.
"Brother Qi..."
Wang Erhu's throat was trembling, he looked weak and helpless.
"Go, check it for me. I want to see what Comrade Xiao Gu likes." Qi Lin's voice was icy.
Wang Erhu shuddered all over.
It turned out that Comrade Xiao Gu was robbed.
No wonder Brother Qi’s expression was even more horrible than when his mother was having her period.
Wang Erhu, who knew he couldn't afford to offend, nodded hurriedly, "Okay, Brother Qi, I'll go right away."
Wang Erhu turned around and walked away, but after walking a few steps, he turned back and asked in a low voice, "Brother Qi, what should we do if the person is found? Should we take action?"
Qi Lin gave him a slap on the face. "Idiot, haven't you heard the saying that the more miserable a man is, the more women love him? You're giving the other party an assist. I really doubt if you're an undercover agent sent by someone else."
Wang Erhu was in so much pain that he almost cried. Is there such a sentence? Hasn't he heard of it?
"Then Brother Qi, what should I do?"
"Find him and investigate his entire ancestry for me."
Qi Lian really knows men these days, and few of them are good.
As long as he gets the evidence, he will have the upper hand.
