Chapter 429: Chapter 315: Believers and Nuns

A coffee shop not far from Star City and Mu Hospital.

Dong Ya was sitting by the window with Qi Xi, both sipping coffee and chatting.

Both naturally possessed remarkable looks and demeanor, especially engaging in cheerful laughter, their smiling faces blooming like flowers, attracting the attention of many men.

Dong Ya and Qi Xi were from different departments and originally didn’t know each other, but they had been selected to attend a shareholders’ dinner gala.

They had adjoining seats on the airplane and hotel rooms next to each other, not to mention, it was their first trip so far from home, so the two women naturally grew close.

“Qi Xi, aren’t you off tomorrow, do you have any plans?” Dong Ya curiously asked.

...

Qi Xi shook her head, “No plans, probably just reading some books in my dorm, then going downstairs to bask in the sun, and maybe pet some cats.”

“You’re staying in too much, how about we go hike Tianhua Mountain in Star Sand together?”

Since changing departments, Dong Ya not only escaped night shifts and an annoying head nurse, but her schedule had also improved significantly.

She had been targeted before, only resting once every three or four days, never getting consecutive days off.

For a working person, what can one day off achieve? It’s consumed by a single sleep-in.

But now things had changed. The new schedule was out, and hers was the best in the department, mostly getting two consecutive days off, and even one time, three days off.

Thus, she planned to visit all the places she hadn’t been able to in the last two years.

Not only was her vacation schedule much freer, but she had also been promoted from nurse to head nurse, substantially increasing her salary.

Even her colleagues, leaders, and the duty doctors didn’t dare to raise their voices at her, treating her with the utmost politeness.

Even more surprising was seeing the head nurse who had targeted her rumored to be demoted to a regular nurse soon, giving her a sense of thrilling retribution.

No wonder so many people wanted to cling to someone powerful; no wonder so many people racked their brains to climb up.

These developments made Dong Ya genuinely feel the weight of the word “power” and understand how exhilarating it is to “have connections.”

After pondering, Qi Xi responded, “That’s possible, but I only have one day off. Will that be enough time to go and come back?”

“Actually, one day is enough, but two days would be better. We could climb halfway, stay overnight at the mid-mountain hotel, then get up at 4-5 in the morning to reach the summit for sunrise. That would be perfect!”

Dong Ya imagined the sunrise at the summit and felt utterly relaxed, only pitying that Qi Xi had just one day off.

“If you’re planning for two days, then I won’t go. If it’s one day, I’ll join you.”

Qi Xi only had one day off and didn’t want Dong Ya to compromise for her.

“Ah~”

Dong Ya looked at her helplessly; Qi Xi was just too kind, but there was a better solution—she could become Shen Yuan’s woman too.

Then her schedule would certainly be just like hers, not to mention two days off, even three could be arranged.

However, Dong Ya still had her selfish motives. If Shen Yuan had one more woman, she would receive slightly less of his “affection.”

But on reflection, what use was selfishness if she had no power to stop Shen Yuan from seeing other women?

Moreover, from the last gathering at his house, it was clear Shen Yuan was interested in Qi Xi; otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked her to bring Qi Xi along.

Any small manipulation from her part would undoubtedly annoy Shen Yuan.

She contemplated her current comfortable life. Could she really return to her old life?

It’s easy to escalate from frugality to luxury, but hard to revert—Dong Ya certainly didn’t want to go back to her former life.

“What about next week’s holiday? Do you have one or two days off?”

Dong Ya didn’t have many friends at the hospital, and her other friends weren’t interested in hiking, so she still wanted to go with Qi Xi.

“Next week I need to go back to high school for a reunion, so I won’t have time.”

“A reunion? Haven’t you just graduated from college two years ago? Why would your high school invite you?” Dong Ya didn’t quite understand.

“Our high school reunion this time has a broad coverage, and they’ve invited people from all professions and outstanding graduates.”

“Oh, okay then.”

Dong Ya had to let it go and then asked, “Qi Xi, let’s put the hiking aside for a moment, let me ask you, what do you think of Chairman Shen?”

Dong Ya wanted to gauge Qi Xi’s attitude. If she entertained the idea, it would be a good match, which could also improve Shen Yuan’s impression of her.

“Chairman Shen, he’s quite good.”

Qi Xi recalled Shen Yuan’s image in her mind—great physique and demeanor, always driving luxury cars, living in a mansion, lacking any airs of superiority, approachable, and also down-to-earth.

“I’m not asking about his character. I’m asking about matters of men and women. Don’t you have that kind of liking for him?”

Qi Xi was taken aback, “Huh? Why would you suddenly ask that?”

“Just curious.”

After some thought, Qi Xi said, “I don’t think I have those feelings. Chairman Shen is nice, but I think he’s too far out of reach for me.”

“Too far? I think he shares common topics with us.”

“Mm, very far.”

In Qi Xi’s view, even though Shen Yuan was approachable, the aura surrounding him made him feel unrealistic.

Moreover, she always felt that Shen Yuan was accommodating downward, making the common topics that Dong Ya sensed probably just his effort to adapt to them.

Thus, facing such a radiant man, Qi Xi couldn’t harbor any romantic feelings.
