Chapter 252: Chapter 248: Professional Attire
But seeing He Qianhui in her business attire, walking with a seductive sway of her hips,
it would be hard for any man to resist.
It was just a pity that Zhang Hao didn’t have any other clothes prepared for her, otherwise he would have definitely asked her to change before going.
Watching his girlfriend enter the boss’s office, Zhang Hao initially wanted to wait outside,
but a call from Qin Miaoke meant he had no choice but to return.
He told himself that his boss wasn’t the kind of bad guy who would do anything to He Qianhui.
After returning to his own department, he saw Qin Miaoke’s anxious expression.
Zhang Hao couldn’t help but become anxious himself, "What’s wrong?"
"It’s that patient, she says she’s feeling a bit unwell and needs you to have a look."
Zhang Hao thought for a moment, "Wasn’t she fine during this morning’s rounds?"
"It seems to be sudden," Qin Miaoke added.
Regardless of the situation, Zhang Hao had to go and see for himself.
Upon arriving at the ward, the patient was hastily putting away her cell phone, thinking she had concealed it well.
But Zhang Hao saw everything.
"What you need to do right now is rest, not waste your resting time on electronic devices."
The girl leaned against the head of the bed and said softly, "I’m the only one in this ward, there’s nobody for me to talk to."
"I’m so bored I could die. If you don’t let me play with my phone, I’ll go crazy."
Zhang Hao felt helpless for her having to stay in the hospital these days, but there was nothing he could do.
Considering her condition wasn’t good enough for discharge yet.
"I just heard from my nurse that you were feeling unwell; where does it hurt?"
Before the girl could answer, she asked Zhang Hao to come closer.
"Let the nurse go out first, then I’ll tell you where I feel unwell. I’m embarrassed to speak with her here."
Suddenly, Qin Miaoke felt a sense of rejection, but she still tactfully left.
Once she was gone, only Zhang Hao and the female patient remained in the ward.
Zhang Hao put his hands in his pockets, and in the absence of a third person, he tried to maintain a certain distance from the female patient to avoid any misunderstanding.
"Now that it’s just the two of us, you can tell me where you feel uncomfortable," he said.
The patient took a candy-colored, rounded object out of the drawer beside her bed.
"Doctor, could you charge this for me?" she asked.
Looking at the object, Zhang Hao fell into deep thought.
If he hadn’t guessed wrong, this must be a woman’s personal toy.
How did such a thing end up in the hospital?
"I’m sorry, but you’ll need to take care of that yourself. If it’s not a medical issue that’s uncomfortable, please don’t disturb my work time," he said firmly.
Hearing this, the girl’s face turned ugly in an instant.
"Doctor Zhang, just do me a favor, will you? If you won’t charge my toy, I’ll find someone else to do it," she threatened.
Of course, Zhang Hao wasn’t about to agree because of this threat.
"Come and find me if you feel physically unwell," he replied.
Leaving the ward, Zhang Hao appeared nonchalant.
Qin Miaoke, who had been waiting for a while outside, asked out of concern as a nurse what was wrong with the female patient.
"She’s perfectly fine," Zhang Hao answered casually, his tone clearly mocking.
"That answer seems rather dismissive. It makes it seem like you’re ignoring the patient’s feelings," Qin Miaoke pointed out.
Zhang Hao turned around, squinting his eyes at her.
"Since you care so much about the patient’s needs, why don’t you help her," he suggested.
Qin Miaoke could tell there was something fishy about the way Zhang Hao said it, a gut feeling telling her to be wary.
Whether it was to protect herself or to respect someone else’s privacy, she couldn’t agree right away.
"I haven’t even finished my own work yet, so I don’t have time to help her, not talking to you anymore."
As soon as Qin Miaoke left, Zhang Hao stood in place and shrugged his shoulders.
Meanwhile, in the office of the hospital leadership.
He Qianhui was working hard to negotiate, but the hospital’s equipment costs ranged from a few tens to hundreds, and even the expensive ones costing tens of thousands couldn’t be stopped.
Thus, the deal He Qianhui was working on still faced some difficulties.
It took substantial effort to finally persuade the hospital leadership to agree to keep the equipment inspection report.
However, He Qianhui didn’t mention Zhang Hao in the conversation at all.
But with time running short, He Qianhui didn’t feel like going back to the company.
She decided to wait for Zhang Hao to finish work at the hospital, and, as soon as six o’clock struck, she appeared on time at the entrance of the traditional Chinese medicine department.
Seeing that Zhang Hao was still busy, she invited herself in.
There was a chair next to the desk, and He Qianhui sat down on it.
Zhang Hao didn’t look up, but he already smelled a familiar scent in the air.
"How did the talks go?"
"Not so well. The leadership of your hospital doesn’t seem very interested in the medical equipment I recommended. Looks like I’ll have to try a few more hospitals tomorrow."
"That’s going to be hard for you."
"It’s not hard. Medical devices are a matter of life and death; it’s always right to be cautious. How much longer until you finish work? I’ll wait for you."
"Almost done."
Zhang Hao finished what he was doing, shut down the computer, and Qin Miaoke, who had also finished her work, came out of the rest room.
She saw He Qianhui right away!
"Xiaohui, what are you doing here? Are you here to pick up Brother Hao from work?"
Hearing Qin Miaoke call her that, He Qianhui knew her status in this department wasn’t a secret.
"Yes and no. Xiaohui, you and Brother Hao really are affectionate, aren’t you? I’ll have to find a boyfriend like Brother Hao in the future."
Qin Miaoke found He Qianhui very easy to get along with, gentle and soft.
"What’s so good about him? Don’t go for someone like him; you’ll cry too late when the time comes."
Zhang Hao heard this and quickly changed his clothes.
"Xiaohui, how can you talk bad about me in front of my colleagues? That won’t be good for our unity," he said.
He Qianhui knew it wasn’t that serious and took Zhang Hao’s arm.
"Alright, I was just saying. You spend more time with them than I do. Do you think a word or two from me could affect your status in this department?"
Zhang Hao thought about it and felt she was right.
"In that case, we’ll get going first. See you tomorrow."
The traditional Chinese medicine department wasn’t busy these past two days, so they could finally leave work on time.
On the way home, He Qianhui sighed a lot.
Suddenly she remembered something the manager had told her.
"Can you finish work early tomorrow and accompany me somewhere?"
"Where?"
"Our big boss wants to treat us to dinner. I was going to decline, but my manager said we couldn’t refuse."
"I’m worried there might be danger, and if you are with me, at least I’ll be a little safer."
"Okay, I’ll do my best to free up my evening for you tomorrow."
After receiving a clear response, He Qianhui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She began to think about what to have for dinner tonight.
As soon as they got home, Zhang Hao eagerly held He Qianhui in his arms.
He Qianhui thought something had gotten into him, suddenly so ravenous.
"You stayed in our leader’s office for an entire afternoon, did he say or do anything to you?"
He Qianhui thought for a moment, "No, what could your leader do to me?"
"You look very nice in your professional attire today. Are you sure he didn’t do anything strange?" Zhang Hao asked.
