Chapter 1054: 704 good woman full of fat_3
"Ugh..." Wu Shengnan grimaced. "That’s hardly worth the trouble."
Du Heng shook his head. "How should I put this? You can’t have your cake and eat it too. If you want to be slim but also desire larger breasts, that’s very difficult."
"But there are so many slender ladies on the street, and they all look quite well-endowed," Wu Shengnan retorted.
However, such a rebuttal held no weight with Du Heng. He chuckled and said, "Aside from a few individuals with exceptional natural endowments, perhaps. But such people are rare; one in a thousand would be a lot.
The rest that you see who are thin yet voluptuous are either using ’enhancements’ or padding. Don’t be fooled by appearances."
Since they were in the office, Du Heng didn’t want to continue the conversation and summarized for Wu Shengnan, "If you want breast augmentation without side effects, then the best method is to move away from the ’bony chic’ look and gain a healthy amount of weight.
This not only meets aesthetic desires but also strengthens the body and improves overall physical fitness.
Another way is pregnancy. Generally, women gain weight during pregnancy, and estrogen levels rise significantly. After the breastfeeding period, with some determination to lose weight, you can achieve a similar result."
Having said that, Du Heng gave Wu Shengnan a gentle smile. "Alright, you can sit here for a bit. Once I finish up what I’m doing, we’ll go home."
Wu Shengnan looked a little disappointed. She settled down and said, "Then you get back to your work. I’ll use this time to order something for Tingting and have it shipped to her."
"Sure," Du Heng replied, then lowered his head to focus on his tasks.
By the time he finished his work, he found Wu Shengnan lightly snoring on the sofa.
Du Heng wasn’t surprised by this. It’s quite normal for pregnant women to have an increased appetite and feel sleepy.
"Wake up, sleepyhead. Let’s go home."
Wu Shengnan rubbed her eyes and sat up. "Are you finished?"
"I’m done. Let’s go."
Du Heng gently helped Wu Shengnan up, and then they left the office together.
"Honey, look across the street. Are those people putting up a banner?" As they were leaving, Wu Shengnan curiously pointed to a few people busy hanging something across the road.
Du Heng, who was driving, glanced over briefly before turning his attention back to the road. "The old flour factory building across the street is slated for demolition. People were protesting there a while ago.
They left a few days ago and hadn’t been back for a while, so I thought it was over.
Now they’ve returned. Negotiations probably fell through, so they’re back to protesting."
"But it’s directly opposite your hospital. Won’t that affect you?" Wu Shengnan asked, a little puzzled.
Du Heng had just pulled onto the main road. Hearing Wu Shengnan, he glanced back again. "Hey, you’re right. I hadn’t noticed. For the past few days, they were hanging them off to the side, near the entrance of that residential complex.
Why are they planning to hang it right opposite our hospital today? Did they run out of space because they have too many banners?"
Du Heng pulled the car, which had just entered the main road, over to the side. He then took out his phone to call the Dean in charge of logistics.
The demolition compensation has nothing to do with our hospital, but having banners hanging right in front is a real eyesore. We need to address it with them.
After handling everything, Du Heng took Wu Shengnan home.
"Honey, do you think they’re protesting with the banners because they’ve genuinely been treated unfairly?"
"Hmph, if it were a private residence, there might be a point. But for staff apartments of a factory like this, such issues don’t exist."
Du Heng smiled. "To put it bluntly, they’re just being greedy. I heard that for this demolition, they compensate based on the exact area being demolished. If you want a larger replacement, you just have to pay the difference at cost price.
But from what I hear, the old lady protesting wants an apartment for her grandson as well, also at cost price. That’s why things are at a standstill."
Wu Shengnan shook her head. "That definitely won’t fly. If they sell her an apartment at cost price, wouldn’t that be unfair to everyone else? If everyone started demanding the same, the situation would get out of control."
"Exactly," Du Heng agreed. "But the old lady doesn’t care. Every day, she drags an old man along, and the two of them bake under the scorching sun. The community staff are afraid of them too."
Just as they were talking, Du Heng’s cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID; it was the Vice Dean he had called earlier.
Du Heng checked the traffic ahead, then slowly pulled over to the side of the road before answering the call.
"Vice Dean Zhang, has the matter been resolved?"
"Dean Du, they’re not from the flour factory. They’re here for our hospital."
"What?" Du Heng’s mind went blank; he couldn’t quite process Vice Dean Zhang’s words.
Vice Dean Zhang on the other end of the line also realized he hadn’t been clear. After a brief pause to gather his thoughts, he spoke again, "The banner those people across the street put up reads, ’Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital’s Illegal Medication Use Leads to Five-Year-Old Child’s Death.’ It seems to be about that child you treated before."
Du Heng’s hand, holding the phone, trembled slightly. Even his gaze grew unfocused.
