Chapter 491: Chapter 488: Inspection Work
"I’ll drop you off at the company first, then I’m heading to the hospital, and I’ll come pick you up later," said Zhang Hao.
Upon hearing this, He Qianhui felt the whole thing was too troublesome, "No need, no need, I can handle it myself."
Under Zhang Hao’s insistence, He Qianhui had no choice but to accept his arrangement.
She just couldn’t figure out why he would go to such lengths. Could it be that he had a lot of spare time?
But since Zhang Hao never provided her with a proper explanation, He Qianhui stopped asking further.
She thought about quickly wrapping up her pending work before considering anything else.
When they arrived at the company, He Qianhui immediately got out of the car, "You said you’d pick me up, don’t forget, I’ll be waiting for you at the company. Drive safely."
Zhang Hao waved at her and drove off with a press of the accelerator.
He Qianhui didn’t even have time to take a second glance before hurriedly heading towards the company building.
The success of this deal owed a lot to luck.
Should the boss ask later how she managed to close this deal so smoothly,
He Qianhui planned to tell the truth, that it wasn’t because her business skills were exceptional.
It was partly due to a stroke of good fortune, but in the boss’s eyes, as long as the deal was successful, the method didn’t matter.
The principle remained the same, many paths lead to the same destination.
To thank He Qianhui for successfully closing this deal,
The company decided to throw a celebration banquet for her, but He Qianhui didn’t want to attend.
She felt the boss was making too much of a fuss this time.
He Qianhui declined, "Manager, it was just a deal I signed, there’s no need for a celebration banquet."
"Besides, I have plans tonight and won’t be able to make it, let’s talk about it some other time."
When the manager heard she had other plans for the evening, he became immediately curious.
"What, do you plan to spend a nice evening with your husband tonight?"
To this question, He Qianhui didn’t respond directly but simply smiled.
Her smile seemed to reveal the answer.
"I didn’t expect that Xiaohui and your husband had such a good relationship, unlike me and your sister-in-law, who haven’t seen each other for a long time," the manager said.
With the manager saying this, it was no wonder everyone else was curious, each of them craning their necks to hear more clearly.
"Relationships need to be nurtured. When there are holidays, you should also pay more attention to your wife, or someone else might do it for you," He Qianhui responded.
After saying this, He Qianhui checked the time, saw it was getting late, and quickly returned to her desk.
She summarized this work effort in written form, mainly to pass the time while waiting for Zhang Hao to pick her up.
After taking a two-day leave and returning half a day early, Zhang Hao quickly resumed seeing patients.
He didn’t want to make his waiting patients linger any longer than necessary.
Yet, as the end of the workday approached, Zhang Hao became restless. Seeing so many patients outside, he suddenly understood how much they depended on him.
After much hesitation, he chose to leave work early and drove to He Qianhui’s company.
For some reason, this time Zhang Hao didn’t plan to go upstairs.
He just called her to let her know he had arrived.
After receiving the call, He Qianhui quickly packed up her things and hurried downstairs as fast as she could.
As soon as she got into the car, He Qianhui couldn’t help asking, "I thought you weren’t going to pick me up today. I guess you decided to leave those patients behind for now."
Zhang Hao didn’t argue, "How come you are so smart? But I always keep the promises I make to you. It’s okay if I’m gone; there are other doctors to help."
They finally returned home, although it had only been two or three days since they had left. Yet He Qianhui missed it extraordinarily.
"Oh right, I just remembered something. When I called you tonight, you said you were at the bar,"
"Why on earth did you go to a bar late at night? It was urgent at the time, and I didn’t get the chance to ask more."
Zhang Hao said, "There’s quite a story behind this."
"Then make it short," He Qianhui said.
Zhang Hao told He Qianhui about everything that had happened that day in full detail.
He Qianhui was immediately amazed by his ability to find people, and that he had actually found them so quickly.
"What about the aftermath, did that woman go and apologize?" He Qianhui asked.
Zhang Hao said, "What aftermath, I got called away by you after that, and there hasn’t been any conclusion to this matter so far."
"It’s good that I didn’t see Mr. Zhang from internal medicine today; otherwise, I would have had to stick close to the walls when walking."
He Qianhui felt this was a bit of an exaggeration.
Perhaps Mr. Zhang from internal medicine doesn’t even know this has anything to do with him.
And if he was to blame anyone, it would only be his bad luck.
"So what are you planning to do? Are you really going to bring that woman to personally find Director Zhao from internal medicine and make her apologize face to face?" He Qianhui asked.
Zhang Hao, now donned in an apron, said with a cheery smile, "Of course, my relationship with Mr. Zhang isn’t great, but it’s not terrible either."
"Since we all work in the same hospital, we can’t avoid interacting in the future. I don’t want this incident to lead to an unspoken grievance between us."
He Qianhui knew that Zhang Hao, being who he was, would definitely take responsibility for the matter.
But she also comforted him, "This matter really isn’t much related to you, it’s the girl’s own problem, so don’t be too soft."
"Don’t let Mr. Zhang feel like he can overpower you. You should retain your dignity and composure."
"If he really wants compensation for this matter, just give a symbolic amount. After all, we’re not short of money."
Seeing that He Qianhui was seriously considering this matter, Zhang Hao quickly reassured her.
"Don’t worry, I have everything under control. You don’t need to fret about it. Go rest up, and I’ll cook a couple of dishes. Let’s keep dinner simple tonight."
Making two simple dishes didn’t take much time, and He Qianhui quickly took the opportunity to take a bath, washing away all the fatigue from her body.
Suddenly, she remembered the erotic lingerie that Zhang Hao had bought. She took them out of the box one by one as if opening mystery boxes.
There were red, white, pink, and black ones, all sorts of styles; some hinted suggestively, while others were openly displayed.
Even looking at these items, He Qianhui couldn’t figure out which style Zhang Hao preferred.
Whether he liked more revealing ones or the more reserved ones.
Before Zhang Hao realized it, He Qianhui quickly packed all the lingerie away.
She put them into the closet, in a corner at the very back.
A place where no one besides her would rummage.
Acting as if nothing was amiss, He Qianhui quickly came out of the bedroom to see Zhang Hao still busy in the kitchen.
She went over to see if there was anything she could help with.
Upon her arrival in the kitchen, Zhang Hao immediately took strong defensive measures.
"Wait, wait, wait, this is not somewhere you’re allowed to enter today. Get out, I remember there are drinks in the fridge. Go have a sip," he said.
Leaning on the kitchen door frame, He Qianhui said, "Usually, I’m the one cooking here. How come it’s suddenly become your territory? Can’t I come and have a look, inspect your work?"
Turning to look at her, Zhang Hao smiled, "Well, Director, look at me. I haven’t blown up the kitchen today. Not bad, huh?"
He Qianhui looked around and nodded in satisfaction.
