Chapter 446: Chapter 443 Drunk
Allowing every patient who comes for treatment to recover and return home is just not realistic.
Qin Miaoke kept urging Zhang Hao to eat some food, "Hurry up and have some, did you drink fake alcohol today? Why are you losing your composure like this?"
Everyone knew that Zhang Hao was already too drunk at this point, and just as he was about to pour more drinks,
Yu snatched the bottle from his hand and put it aside.
Seeing his hands empty, Zhang Hao gave up but still grumbled.
Is it not my good day today? You guys actually won’t let me drink to my satisfaction, all this time spent together is in vain.
Zhang Hao didn’t tell He Qianhui about the location of the dinner.
She had been familiarizing herself with the documents and the client’s information in the company, but the client she was about to face this time was not like any of the previous ones.
Seeing that it was getting late, the manager hurried out of the office, "Xiaohui, it’s getting late."
"I already feel bad for calling you over on such short notice. Once you’ve taken care of this matter, I’ll give you a little extended break."
He Qianhui packed up her things and tucked the folder back into her bag.
"It’s okay, I’ve been staying at home these past few days, feeling a bit bored, and I was looking forward to coming back to work early."
The manager was doubly relieved to hear He Qianhui say this.
"Last time the big boss came for a meeting, he praised you in my presence and said that if there’s a chance, he would transfer you from here to the main company."
"I was planning to talk to you about this tomorrow, but since you’re here today, I’ll let you know now. Do you have any thoughts on this?"
He Qianhui had never thought about being transferred from the small company to the headquarters.
Firstly, the headquarters were located in another city, and she did not want to turn her relationship with Zhang Hao from being in the same city to a long-distance one.
Also, you never know, with a spur of the moment decision they might end up at the civil affairs bureau to get their marriage certificate.
When it comes to having children, that would definitely come onto the agenda at that point.
Then it wouldn’t make sense to continue delaying because of work.
After considering everything, she decided not to leave.
The manager was aware of He Qianhui’s thoughts and naturally did not object.
Besides, the company’s big boss valued her capabilities and the primary reason for considering her transfer was to improve the sales of the head office.
If He Qianhui was willing to stay at the small company, they could rely on her to stand out among the many branches.
Such a good employee is hard to let go.
Luckily, He Qianhui had no intention of going to the main company; otherwise, the manager would surely regret it to the point of beating his chest and stomping his feet.
"If there’s nothing else, Manager, I’ll be leaving first. I fear it might take me a day or two to go through these documents. I am thinking of asking for a day off tomorrow."
The moment the manager thought about He Qianhui staying, he agreed to all her requests.
"Of course, of course. I know the environment in the company is chaotic, and it’s not conducive for you to concentrate on these materials."
"Whenever you’ve finished with them, then come over."
"Right now, you are our company’s secret weapon; no one is more capable than you."
Facing the manager’s praise, He Qianhui felt unworthy of it.
After leaving the company, she called Zhang Hao right away, wanting to know if his dinner gathering was over.
If it wasn’t, she would make a trip over.
To prevent him from drinking more and possibly causing trouble.
The person who answered the call wasn’t Zhang Hao, but a girl.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang is too drunk and has already passed out. May I ask who you are?"
Upon hearing this, He Qianhui couldn’t help but feel anxious.
"Where are you? I’m his girlfriend. I’ll come over now to pick him up."
After asking the girls where they were gathering for the meal, He Qianhui immediately hailed a taxi and rushed over.
Upon arrival, she found that everyone at the table was inebriated, with Zhang Hao being the most drunk of all.
However, He Qianhui also knew that today was his promotion and pay raise day, so being a little drunk was forgivable, as long as he did not lose his composure. It was better than anything else.
She gathered Zhang Hao’s things, paid for the meal, and helped him to the parking lot.
By now, he was truly drunk, unconscious.
He Qianhui did not complain aloud.
Since she had arrived, there was no need for a designated driver. She drove home herself with the two of them.
Once home, Zhang Hao began clamoring to drink more, saying he hadn’t had enough yet.
He Qianhui brought over a basin of hot water to wipe down his body.
"If you can’t hold your liquor, don’t randomly invite people to drink. Just look at yourself now," she said.
Zhang Hao lay limp on the couch, devoid of his usual commanding presence.
But this was the first time He Qianhui saw him drunk, and she actually found it somewhat endearing.
He was not like other men who became rowdy after drinking, unable to control their hands, feet, or mouth, and even breaking things, tormenting others.
In short, He Qianhui did not worry too much that night.
The next morning, when Zhang Hao woke up, he felt dizzy and cloudy-headed. He had drunk too much the previous night, and had no recollection of how he got home.
Looking at He Qianhui still sleeping beside him, he hurriedly took out his phone to see if anyone had messaged him.
Sure enough, there were messages from Qin Miaoke and Yu.
Yu briefly described to him what had happened after he got drunk the previous night.
Even though Zhang Hao had no memory of this part of the evening, as long as it was He Qianhui who had brought him home, there was no major problem.
Thinking about how his wife had taken care of him the day before made Zhang Hao feel somewhat guilty.
As a means to express his appreciation, still not completely sober, he made his way to the kitchen.
He decided to prepare a loving breakfast for her. The usually unromantic him wanted to be romantic for once.
However, making this loving breakfast truly tested his patience.
Zhang Hao was capable of cooking on normal days, but he was not precise in presenting the food with finesse.
Sometimes the meals looked good, other times they were quite unappealing.
After he finished, he went to the bedroom and woke up the still-sleeping He Qianhui.
"Wake up, it’s time for breakfast. It’s your day to go to work," he said.
He Qianhui opened her eyes in a daze, not thinking too much about it, and uttered an "oh" as she sat up with Zhang Hao’s help.
"Yes, I have to go to work today," she said.
Yawning, He Qianhui dragged her tired body to the bathroom to freshen up.
But halfway through washing up, she realized that she had asked for a day off from her manager the day before, and it had been approved.
So she didn’t need to go to work, yet as she had already brushed her teeth and washed her face, going back to bed for more sleep didn’t seem right.
Arriving in the living room, she thought she’d review the materials she had brought back the day before.
Surprisingly, she noticed a ready-made breakfast on the table. Looking at its presentation, He Qianhui couldn’t help but turn her glance toward Zhang Hao.
"You made this?" she asked.
Zhang Hao nodded repeatedly, "I followed an online tutorial. We just didn’t have some of the tools at home, so the reproduction isn’t perfect, but I tasted it and it’s really good. Eat up, it’s not poisoned," he said.
He Qianhui smiled and did not rush to start eating. Instead, she looked for her purse.
"Have you seen my purse?" she asked.
"Don’t you always leave it on the shoe cabinet? But I checked, and it’s not there," he answered.
