Chapter 239: Chapter 236 Wedding Invitations
"You don’t need to prove anything to me, perhaps we were wrong from the beginning."
"The woman who came today is my sister-in-law, our relationship isn’t as close as family but not as distant as strangers, yet it’s not what you imagine."
Lin Wan was already unable to take in any words Zhang Hao said.
Just like a child, she clung to him from behind, her face pressed against his broad back, feeling his warmth through the clothes.
"I know, I know everything, but I got jealous today, I don’t want to see you so close with other women."
"Your every action today showed too much concern for him, don’t think I didn’t notice."
Zhang Hao hadn’t expected that his most ordinary actions would cause such great harm to Lin Wan.
"You’re overthinking, it’s getting late, I need to go home to have dinner, let’s not have this kind of situation happen again, I’m tired after a day’s work, I need to rest early."
In the end, Zhang Hao still broke free from Lin Wan’s embrace, but this time Lin Wan didn’t chase after him.
The next day, Zhang Hao went to the hospital as usual.
Before he started working, he received a bag of wedding candies.
Looking at the candies, he asked with a puzzled face, "Who’s getting married now?"
"It’s Lin Wan, she messaged us today saying she’s going to have her wedding on the fifteenth of next month. She’s been quite secretive about it," Qin Miaoke said.
Lin Wan was getting married, and so soon, Zhang Hao realized something was wrong but didn’t show it.
An entire morning passed without seeing her, and Zhang Hao grew somewhat anxious, making use of the break to call her.
"You’re getting married, when did this happen?"
"It’s none of your business, it was a last-minute decision of mine, I have an old classmate, he has always liked me a lot."
Ensuring that Lin Wan wasn’t making an impulsive decision, Zhang Hao finally felt relieved.
He congratulated her over the phone and promised to attend her wedding.
Originally, Lin Wan had always rejected that male classmate’s pursuit, claiming that her career hadn’t yet stabilized.
Her thoughts were still naive, not understanding the ways of the world, unable to quickly build a family with someone and shoulder the responsibilities of being a wife.
But because of Zhang Hao’s various actions yesterday, she knew that maybe if she rejected some people any longer, they would no longer belong to her.
So, counting carefully, she would be entering the hall of matrimony in just over twenty days.
Fortunately, the man who wanted to be with her was an old acquaintance, so it certainly wasn’t a rash decision.
During the phone call, Lin Wan also revealed that after the wedding, she would go on a honeymoon, so she had requested a long leave the night before.
As for when she could resume work normally, Lin Wan herself didn’t know, but she’d at least need to finish her honeymoon before considering it.
Over the next twenty-some days, Zhang Hao spent his time in the hospital.
Without Lin Wan, Xu Mi and Ling Tong were worn out.
It’s not known whether it was because of Zhang Hao’s growing reputation, but clearly, over these twenty days.
The number of patients visiting the Traditional Chinese Medicine department only increased, resulting in Zhang Hao almost not being able to leave on time for half a month.
One day when he came to work, he received a wedding invitation sent by Lin Wan.
Seeing the location of the wedding venue, Zhang Hao thought it over and still decided to tell He Qianhui about it.
She was on a business trip out of town and it was uncertain if she could make it back in time for the wedding.
He Qianhui was quite happy to know about it: "Great, you can go, I’ll be back in a day or two."
"Make sure you prepare a decent gift for Nurse Lin."
"Okay, I’ve already prepared the red envelope, I guess everyone from the department will go, I’ll introduce you then."
After hanging up, Zhang Hao placed the wedding invitation in his drawer.
When He Qianhui returned from her business trip, she saw her performance for the quarter.
It could be said she had the highest salary in the entire company, despite being there for the shortest time, her performance was extremely astounding.
Even the manager couldn’t fathom what virtues or abilities he possessed to have recruited such a capable female sales executive.
However, He Qianhui now had the confidence to discuss with her superiors about whether she should get a raise.
In order to retain such a qualified sales executive, when He Qianhui directly proposed a salary increase for herself,
the leader didn’t hesitate at all and immediately agreed, "I’ve been wanting to give you a raise for a while now, just been too busy recently to mention it to you."
"How about starting from next month, I increase your salary by an additional thirty percent on top of your current pay?"
He Qianhui did the math and felt that the salary was quite good.
"Okay, I hope to further increase my salary by the end of the year."
The manager joyfully said that if one wants a higher salary, then they must work harder and bring in more large orders for the company.
Looking at He Qianhui’s blooming smile, the manager was also mesmerized.
In the past, he always thought that beautiful women were all looks and no brains.
But He Qianhui had both the looks and the brains.
"Qianhui, if you go out and encounter those troublesome clients, and you don’t want them taking advantage,"
"just let your partner handle it. You are now our company’s treasure."
He Qianhui took it in stride.
Since she felt comfortable working at this company, she never considered the idea of job-hopping.
"Okay, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first. The hotel I’ve been staying in on my business trip wasn’t great,"
"It seemed like a couple moved in next door, making noise in bed all night long, keeping me awake."
Upon hearing this, like a magician, the manager somehow pulled out a set of skincare products.
"Here, this is for you, I bought it from the duty-free shop when I was out."
Looking at the exquisite packaging, He Qianhui refused, "This is too precious, I can’t accept it. Manager, you should keep it for yourself."
If she guessed right, the set was worth at least three to four thousand yuan.
With He Qianhui’s salary, it wouldn’t be difficult to afford it, but she believed in not accepting rewards without merit. Once she accepted such a gift, it would make certain things awkward afterward.
"It’s okay, I bought too many, and it would be a waste to leave it in the office if you don’t take it."
Upon the manager’s insistent request, He Qianhui reluctantly accepted the skincare set.
Carrying it back home, she found Zhang Hao already asleep on the couch.
He had been working tirelessly these days, and He Qianhui felt sorry for him.
So, she put down her things and turned to the kitchen, intending to cook a delicious meal to make up for it.
Zhang Hao had intended to select a gift for Lin Wan; becoming sleepy while browsing, he had fallen asleep on the couch.
In a daze, he heard noises in the kitchen and guessed He Qianhui had returned.
Reluctantly opening his eyes and getting up, he went to the kitchen doorway and saw the busy figure.
Zhang Hao couldn’t help but yawn, "You’re finally back."
At the sound of his voice, He Qianhui was startled.
"Why don’t you make any noise when you walk?"
"It’s you who was too focused, not hearing me. What are we having for dinner tonight?"
"Steamed fish, bacon with greens, and a rib soup," He Qianhui replied truthfully.
Zhang Hao hugged He Qianhui from behind, "You smell so good, I really like this faint scent."
When he hugged her like that, He Qianhui felt a tingling sensation throughout her body.
