Chapter 191: Chapter 189 The Woman on the Phone
Zhang Hao didn’t think there was anything to it, considering the hospital was short-handed anyway, with every department stretched thin.
The traditional Chinese medicine department didn’t require as much hands-on manipulation, but when it came to patients without severe injuries.
There was still a need for traditional Chinese medicine’s massage and bone-setting techniques for treatment.
"If you want to come to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, I can go talk to the head nurse about it."
"I think if I step in, she should be able to agree," Zhang Hao said.
Xia Jing didn’t expect Zhang Hao to be so easygoing: "Really? Then thank you, Mr. Zhang."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he shifted his gaze away from Xia Jing and noticed that something was off with Lin Wan’s expression.
He quickly made a joke: "Ever since we moved to the new hospital location, my workplace has been thoroughly upgraded."
"There are sure to be changes elsewhere, too, and once our hospital’s reputation spreads."
"The patients coming because of our fame will only increase, so we need to take advantage of the fact that the patient load hasn’t overwhelmed us yet, to further improve our professional skills."
After lunch, when he returned to the department.
Zhang Hao received a call from the head nurse, asking if he wanted Xia Jing transferred to his side.
Actually, Zhang Hao didn’t know what Xia Jing had told the head nurse, but since she had already called to ask.
He helped out by saying a few words.
"Mr. Zhang, what’s so attractive about your traditional Chinese medicine clinic that so many people want to go there?"
Zhang Hao didn’t know either; he thought his clinic didn’t have anything particularly special.
So he didn’t quite understand why so many nurses were insistent on working there.
"If someone has aspirations, I can’t just reject them. I’m entrusting Xia Jing to you then."
"Nothing better go wrong with her on your watch, and you can’t bully her either," the head nurse said.
Zhang Hao felt that the head nurse was being a bit too grave with her words.
"My place isn’t some monster that devours people without spitting out bones, Head Nurse, if you speak like that, I won’t be happy," Zhang Hao retorted.
That very afternoon, Xia Jing came over, since she had just started working at this hospital, so everything was still very unfamiliar to her.
However, working with someone who had caught her eye at first sight was a nice experience.
But Xia Jing had gotten one thing wrong.
In this hospital, there were plenty of people interested in Zhang Hao.
Apart from those within the hospital, there were those outside as well.
During the first few days, Xia Jing behaved normally, with nothing to criticize.
One lunch break, Xia Jing went to find some information.
By coincidence, Zhang Hao was there too.
On the staircase, one person ascending and the other descending.
As Xia Jing passed by Zhang Hao, she deliberately bumped into him, causing the materials in her hand to scatter all over the floor.
She had no choice but to crouch down to pick them up.
Zhang Hao saw this and immediately came over to help: "How could you be so careless?"
Xia Jing was wearing a nurse’s uniform, but perhaps the size of the uniform was a bit too small for her, fitting tightly.
When she squatted down, her movements were very awkward.
"If I had known I was going to work in the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, I should have touched on it before," she said.
Only then did Zhang Hao notice that all of these materials were related to traditional Chinese medicine.
Gathering everything up and organizing it, when he handed them back to Xia Jing, Zhang Hao inadvertently caught a glimpse beneath her skirt.
He suddenly realized that Xia Jing seemed not to be wearing underwear.
However, Zhang Hao maintained his composure, pretending as if he hadn’t seen anything.
"Take a good look at them, consider it broadening your knowledge. I’ll be here to help out with work."
Xia Jing stood up, looking at Zhang Hao with an apologetic face.
"But I don’t want to hold everyone back, so I must master what I should; it’s just that the weather is so hot today."
While speaking, Xia Jing unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt and used her hand as a fan to generate some breeze a couple of times.
The two unbuttoned buttons just revealed the two little buns on Xia Jing’s chest, seemingly ready to pop out.
How do all these girls grow up these days? Each and every one of them is so big.
However, this is a hospital. Whether doctor or nurse, there are quite strict requirements for attire.
To prevent Xia Jing from making a mistake in this regard, Zhang Hao kindly reminded her.
"Quickly dress properly; if you bump into your head nurse later, she’ll surely give you a demerit."
Xia Jing playfully stuck out her tongue: "With Mr. Zhang here, I just relaxed a little."
"Mr. Zhang, why do I always feel like Lin Wan, doesn’t seem very friendly towards me? Does she not really want me to be in the surgical traditional Chinese medicine clinic?"
Zhang Hao thought that wasn’t the case.
Although Lin Wan could be a bit stingy on some matters, she was quite generous when it came to work.
After all, Xia Jing could help share her workload so she wouldn’t have to be so tired every day.
"Don’t overthink it. There’s nothing like that. Just do your job well," Zhang Hao said,
Xia Jing buttoned up and straightened her shirt.
"I understand, Mr. Zhang. It seems I was overthinking it."
After the lunch break ended, Xia Jing returned to her department to continue working.
But indeed, Lin Wan wasn’t too friendly to Xia Jing, always targeting her at work.
However, Zhang Hao had patients to see, and he didn’t have the energy to pay much attention to the two of them.
As work was nearing the end, Xia Jing came to Zhang Hao with a look of grievance.
"Mr. Zhang, what am I doing that’s not good enough? Lin Wan seems to always have issues with me. Maybe I should go back to the surgical clinic."
Recalling what the head nurse had said, Zhang Hao specifically sought out Lin Wan.
He wanted to hear from her if she indeed had issues with Xia Jing.
"I wouldn’t dare to take issue with her. She’s young and pretty, with a better figure than me. She came here to work looking for a wealthy and handsome boyfriend."
How could Zhang Hao not detect the sarcasm in Lin Wan’s words?
"What kind of attitude is that, and besides, it’s not like I have anything to do with her."
The day Lin Wan had been worried about still arrived.
Zhang Hao started to blame her for someone else’s sake.
"Fine, fine, fine, I’m the one who’s being sarcastic, I’m the one who can’t stand her. What are you going to do about it? If you have the capability, transfer me; I too want some peace."
Knowing Lin Wan as he did, Zhang Hao figured she wasn’t that petty. Probably as a woman,
she saw through some of Xia Jing’s maneuvers.
"Alright, for my sake, please don’t hold it against her. We’re finishing work early today; I’ll take you out to unwind."
Lin Wan gave Zhang Hao a cold look: "No need. You should go find that person from your phone; she needs you more than I do."
Up to now, Lin Wan was still curious about who the woman on the phone was.
Why was Zhang Hao so anxious?
To stop Lin Wan from being angry with him, Zhang Hao coughed.
He said in an ultra-casual tone: "You women really, how can you even be jealous of my mother?"
Lin Wan had always thought Zhang Hao had another woman on the side, but as soon as she heard the word "mother,"
she instantly ran out of things to say!
"What, the person who called that night was Auntie?"
Zhang Hao nodded: "My mom was cooking at home and cut her finger. I went back to bandage it up for her."
