Chapter 40 Who is Liu Chengzhou?
Zhang Pengfei was young and in good health. He met the discharge criteria after two weeks, but Chen Jingyang disagreed and gave several reasons.
For example: He needs to strictly control his diet, but it's difficult to do so after being discharged from the hospital; the court treats interns like donkeys, so it's not advisable for them to go back too early, otherwise they would have to ask the president of the court to give them special treatment, and so on.
Zhang Pengfei had no choice but to stay in the hospital for another week, but Chen Jingyang still refused to let him leave, which completely enraged Zhang Pengfei: "Chen Jingyang, I want to be discharged! If you don't go to complete the discharge procedures today, I'm leaving the hospital!"
Chen Jingyang clicked his tongue: "Baby, why are you in such a hurry to be discharged? Your stomach and intestines are very delicate. It takes at least three to six months for a moderate injury to fully recover. What if it recurs?"
"I'll suffer the consequences myself if it recurs, I won't drag you down with me, damn it, I want to be discharged!"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Chen Jingyang's face darkened: "You can be discharged, but you must agree to a few conditions."
Zhang Pengfei glared at him irritably: "You say it!"
"First, until you are fully recovered, everything you put in your mouth, even a sip of water, must be approved by me first! I don't want you to end up in the hospital again because of any food or drink!"
So what if you can't eat whatever you want?
"OK!"
"Secondly, I will hire someone to come to my house to cook three meals a day and clean the house. You are not allowed to do any housework, not even to pick up a fallen oil bottle! Don't give me a case of overwork causing a relapse!"
Damn! I couldn't be happier if I didn't have to do any work!
"no problem!"
"Third, I will speak with the dean to ensure you can leave work on time every day. In addition, I will arrange a car and driver for you during this period to pick you up and drop you off."
"No!" Zhang Pengfei couldn't accept this: "You're exaggerating! Can't I just take a taxi to and from get off work?"
Chen Jingyang glanced at him and said, "No way! You'll have to wait for a taxi, or even fight for one. These are my conditions. If you can accept them, I'll go and get you discharged right away. If not, you'll stay here and not worry about it!"
"Okay, okay, okay! Hurry up and process the discharge!"
After being cooped up in the hospital for three weeks, Zhang Pengfei never imagined that going to work could bring him such joy.
However, when he arrived at the underground parking garage and saw the car that Chen Jingyang had prepared for him, he couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.
A man in his thirties got out of the car, reached out and bowed: "Hello, are you Mr. Zhang? Starting today, I will be responsible for picking you up and dropping you off at get off work."
Zhang Pengfei scratched his head: "Yes, Chen Jingyang invited you?"
The man smiled and said, "Yes," then opened the car door for him. "Please get in."
"Wait a minute, I need to make a phone call!"
As soon as the call connected, Zhang Pengfei roared, "Chen Jingyang, are you fucking crazy?! You got a Rolls-Royce Phantom..."
He was halfway through his sentence, then, fearing he might have wrongly accused Chen Jingyang, he asked the driver next to him, "Brother, is this a Rolls-Royce Phantom?"
The driver nodded.
Having received confirmation, Zhang Pengfei became even more excited: "Do you think this is appropriate? Am I the kind of person who can afford to ride in a car like this?! What if I run into a classmate or colleague?!"
Chen Jingyang scoffed, "What's inappropriate about it? Of all my cars, this one is the most suitable for your current physical condition, and it's quite comfortable. Why can't you afford it? I think this car isn't good enough for you! As for meeting classmates and colleagues..."
Chen Jingyang smiled and said, "So what if we run into each other? It's not shameful to take this car to work."
"Do I think it's shameful to ride this bus? I am...!"
"Baby," Chen Jingyang interrupted him, "I'm just giving you a friendly reminder, it's almost 7:35 now, if you don't leave soon you'll be late!"
"Damn it!" Zhang Pengfei had no choice but to sit down.
As they approached the courthouse, Zhang Pengfei shouted to the driver to stop: "Brother, I'm getting off here, don't drive any further!"
The driver smiled wryly: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chen specifically instructed that I must take you to the door. I can't let you walk an extra step. It's not easy for us working people. Please understand."
As they were talking, the car stopped at the entrance of the courthouse.
As the saying goes, what you fear most is what happens. As soon as Zhang Pengfei got out of the car, someone called out to him.
"Pengfei!" Zhao, a fellow intern, looked at him with shining eyes as he rode on his electric scooter. "Oh my god! I thought I was seeing things!"
Zhang Pengfei quickly put his hands behind his back, signaling the driver to hurry up and leave!
"Good morning, Brother Zhao."
Brother Zhao watched the luxury car speed away with longing eyes, and teased him, "You're something else! That car must have cost six or seven million, right?"
Zhang Pengfei chuckled sheepishly and uttered the lines he had been rehearsing all the way: "That's a ride-hailing car, haha, I never thought I'd have the chance to ride in one to work."
After three weeks apart, everyone missed him dearly. Despite Zhang Pengfei's somewhat bad temper, he was very popular. Everyone gathered around him, asking how he was doing and sharing what had happened during his absence.
The biggest news was Sister Sun's engagement. Today was also her first day back at work after the engagement. Several female colleagues were chattering away, asking her about the engagement details. Then someone exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Your husband is really generous to you! Isn't that a Chanel heart-shaped double C? This little hair clip must cost over ten thousand!"
Sister Sun smiled and tacitly agreed with a happy expression.
Zhang Pengfei was very curious, so he took a special look at the so-called heart-shaped double C. It was a very small gold hair clip with two Cs strung together on a black heart-shaped plastic.
Is that all?
Zhang Pengfei didn't understand; he felt that one yuan was more like it.
When Zhang Pengfei got home in the evening, he was living a life of being waited on hand and foot. He was so bored that when he saw Zhang Huahua's schoolbag, he couldn't help but pick it up and try to tidy it up.
Zhang Huahua's schoolbag is always a mess, which seems to be a common problem for all poor students. She tears her notebooks apart and hides all the small scraps of paper in her schoolbag. If she doesn't clean it up for a week, it will turn into a garbage bag.
Three weeks have passed, and I wonder how messy her schoolbag is now.
To his surprise, when Zhang Pengfei opened his backpack, he found it to be very tidy!
He couldn't help but ask Chen Jingyang, "Did you pack this schoolbag for her?"
Chen Jingyang shook his head: "No."
Zhang Pengfei was overjoyed and praised Huahua: "Great job! You can pack your own schoolbag now!"
Hua Hua glanced at her schoolbag: "Oh, Liu Chengzhou helped me with this."
That's good, Zhang Pengfei thought. Classmates should help each other out. Just as he was about to zip up his jacket, he suddenly noticed a small, golden thing. When he took it out, he realized it was the same heart-shaped double-C hair clip that Sister Sun had on her head!
"You bought this for her?"
Chen Jingyang shook his head: "No."
Is this the original?
Chen Jingyang glanced at it: "Huahua, where did you get this hair clip?"
"Liu Chengzhou gave it to me!"
Chen Jingyang nodded: "Then it should be the original."
Zhang Pengfei frowned: Who is this Liu Chengzhou?
