Chapter 393: Chapter 390 Adding Manpower
"Somehow, someone saw it and then it got posted in the group, sparking discussions. I’m now hesitating whether to reply or not."
After Zhang Hao explained, He Qianhui understood.
"So that’s what happened. And here I was thinking that maybe today you ran into another beauty or a femme fatale who scared you into a frenzied flight."
Zhang Hao tossed his phone aside and said with a smile, "What kind of woman could make me panic like that, unless it was you showing up."
He Qianhui frowned and her gaze became somewhat unfriendly.
"What do you mean by that? Why would I make you panic? Are you afraid I’d catch you in the act?"
Zhang Hao shook his head repeatedly, "How could that be? Surely you don’t really think that I’m the apple of everyone’s eye in the hospital."
"Rather than saying the hospital staff like me, it’s more accurate to say they’re interested in the value behind me."
Seeing Zhang Hao say this, He Qianhui immediately became intrigued.
"What value could possibly lie behind you? Is it Miss Gu, or some big shot you’ve met through work?"
"These important people, at most, appreciate your good looks, to put it ten thousand steps back."
"Even if they think you, as a junior director, have room for promotion, they could find other directors, couldn’t they?"
"There’s no need to waste time on you."
Suddenly belittled by He Qianhui like this, Zhang Hao still felt somewhat annoyed.
"If you’re really worried I might have something going on with another woman at work, why not just feed me well every day? Then I’d have no energy left to mess with anyone else."
He Qianhui pinched Zhang Hao’s nose and said with a laugh, "You wish. Even if you had the stamina, I’d like to see how many women you could handle."
For a moment, Zhang Hao knew he definitely had spoken arrogantly.
In the end, he said no more.
All the way until bedtime, both of them proceeded with their routines without anything unusual happening.
But when the two of them lay in bed, the atmosphere between them turned somewhat strange.
He Qianhui lay on her side, watching him, while Zhang Hao leaned against the headboard, fiddling with his phone.
There was no time to watch during the day, so before sleeping at night, he needed some personal entertainment.
He Qianhui looked up and saw the beauties flashing on his phone’s screen, and couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
"You think you can sleep after watching beauties dance late into the night?"
Zhang Hao instinctively responded, "It’s no problem."
However, it was this instinctive response that suddenly made him realize the issue.
He hastily threw his phone aside and embraced He Qianhui, who was looking at him with a stern face.
"Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. It was an accidental scroll through, you know how strange this big data push can be."
"If you linger on one type of video for a few minutes, they keep recommending the same thing to you."
"I just happened to glance a few seconds more that day, you see how harmful this big data can be."
Zhang Hao found himself a perfect excuse with big data.
He Qianhui wasn’t a three-year-old child, nor an eighteen-year-old girl; she couldn’t be fooled so easily.
"Keep deceiving me then. Let go of me now, it’s too hot to be held like this. Who do you want to kill with this heat?"
At this time, Zhang Hao stubbornly refused to let go.
"No, no, no, I want to hold you like this. Holding you like this makes me happy."
Despite all of He Qianhui’s dislikes, Zhang Hao held her even tighter.
Eventually, He Qianhui couldn’t do anything about it.
She let him embrace her just to cool off a bit, by turning the bedroom air conditioning cooler.
Unconsciously, the two of them fell asleep like that. In the middle of the night, He Qianhui realized Zhang Hao was still holding her.
If holding her before falling asleep was a gesture of affection, then continuing to do so in his sleep meant it had become a habit.
Seeing that the temperature of the air conditioner was still low, He Qianhui gently extricated herself from Zhang Hao’s embrace.
Go open the window, then turn off the air conditioner.
In a half-asleep daze, Zhang Hao realized the space next to him was empty. Squinting his eyes, he began searching for He Qianhui’s figure.
"Where is she? Where are you, Xiaohui?"
Hearing Zhang Hao’s call, He Qianhui quickly ran over.
"Right here. Can’t even make a trip to the bathroom."
Having found her again, Zhang Hao wrapped her in an even tighter embrace.
But He Qianhui also really liked this feeling and let him hold her just like that.
When they both woke up at dawn, as a high-profile employee in her company, He Qianhui didn’t have to hurry to work.
But that day there was a routine morning meeting, so she had no choice but to arrive at the company at the same time as everyone else.
In contrast, Zhang Hao’s work hours were much more flexible, so without even a second thought,
he drove He Qianhui to her company first, then hastily rushed back to the hospital.
The hurried departure of his the day before had already spread throughout the workgroup chat.
As soon as he arrived at the company, colleagues immediately came up to ask what had happened.
"Didn’t I already explain in the group chat that it was just regular clocking off?"
"What did you say? Don’t tell me you thought you replied in the chat."
Zhang Hao, utterly confused, quickly checked the group chat.
He then realized that he hadn’t said a single word in the chat yesterday.
After some thought, he realized that he had intended to reply, but at that moment, He Qianhui came to chat with him.
He had then brushed the matter aside and later forgot about it.
So he believed he had already replied to everyone in the group.
"Come on, spill it. What exactly happened?"
"What else could have happened? Yesterday, our department had so many patients, and it left a few of us dizzy from exhaustion."
"Taking the chance to leave quickly once the shift ended without patients around."
"Well, that’s really irresponsible of you. What if patients arrived after you left?" said the colleague.
"Aren’t doctors human, too? Aren’t you afraid that exhaustion would blur my vision, leading to a misdiagnosis?"
"Besides, those coming for traditional medicine treatments aren’t emergencies; real emergencies go straight to surgery."
By the time Zhang Hao finished explaining, the colleague finally understood.
"Fine, fine, I thought there was some gossip to indulge in. Turns out you just wanted to leave work early to rest, how boring."
Zhang Hao, waving his hand, couldn’t be bothered with him and went straight back to his department. Perhaps because he really was exhausted from the previous afternoon,
a doctor had taken a leave of absence to rest today.
With one person on leave, the remaining two naturally had to take on more.
But strangely, throughout the entire day, the number of patients they saw was less than a third of the previous day’s.
However, the higher-ups still felt sorry for Zhang Hao, so they ordered the head nurse early on
to keep an eye out for suitable nurses to be arranged over to his side. If there weren’t any, then never mind.
Days went by, and finally, a suitable candidate was found.
It was the head nurse who brought her in person.
Seeing the head nurse, Zhang Hao immediately stood up to greet her.
"What kind of wind blew you here? You hardly ever come by."
The head nurse had previously received help from Zhang Hao, so she was warmer to him than to others.
"Here I am, bringing you extra help. Take a look, what do you think of this one?"
