Chapter 2282: with translation of chapter title
Time flew by, a few days later at noon, the Shou Bing was done, the day's work completed, Zheng Ren sat in his familiar spot, dazed.
"Su Yun, when do you think we can snag a Shou Bing from Old Liu?" Zheng Ren suddenly asked.
"You're the Boss, you decide." Su Yun held his phone, head down, playing. He seemed somewhat annoyed at Zheng Ren interrupting his chat, his words tinged with impatience.
"Then these few days, find an Opportunity to go check." Zheng Ren, as if not hearing Su Yun's tone, muttered to himself: "I'll go to the Emergency Department; are you coming?"
"What for? Go see Manager Zhou's jokes?" Su Yun asked without lifting his head.
"Regarding Zhou Litao, I think you're being too gloomy." Zheng Ren said.
"Yo, with your old man's mentality, you still have the nerve to call me gloomy?" Su Yun slightly lifted his head, his disdainful gaze like an arrow piercing the black hair on his forehead, landing on Zheng Ren's face.
Zheng Ren shrugged, completely indifferent to Su Yun's contempt, stood up and walked out.
Lin Yuan sprang to his feet, striding after Zheng Lao Ban. Su Yun furrowed his brows, also stood up and followed out.
After the previous incident, Lin Yuan became more obedient. Zheng Lao Ban's words must be carried out unconditionally; this sentence had already been etched into her mind.
"Zheng Lao Ban, are you going to the Emergency Department to ask Manager Zhou about his love progress?" Lin Yuan asked behind Zheng Ren.
"Um…"
Zheng Ren truly had not the slightest interest in any romantic progress of Zhou Litao.
Going to the Emergency Department had become one of Zheng Lao Ban's main entertainments as a Shou Bing dog.
"I think Zhou Litao, Manager Zhou, finds it hard to get a girlfriend." Lin Yuan could keep chatting without Zheng Ren's cooperation: "No girl would like his temperament."
"You know that again?" Su Yun said disdainfully.
"Huh? You said the same last time; I thought we were on the same page." Lin Yuan saw Su Yun catch up and laughed.
"Boss, the girlfriend Manager Zhou is currently chatting with really isn't suitable." Su Yun shoved Lin Yuan aside and told Zheng Ren.
"Oh, I remember you said you were treating Zhou Litao as a backup; is that what you mean?" Zheng Ren laughed.
"Sure, it's still out of respect for Manager Zhou being one of our 912 doctors, keeping him as a backup. If we really can't find someone we like later, we could grit our teeth and settle for Zhou Litao."
"You're speaking too ill of Manager Zhou."
"Basically it's like that, nothing too bad. If he suddenly gets enthusiastic, I think Manager Zhou is on track to become a dad." Su Yun said disdainfully.
"No way, you're going too far." Lin Yuan frowned.
"What do you know, you little brat."
Lin Yuan was about to retort, but for a moment didn't know how to counter Su Yun's personal attack. After a brief pause, Zheng Ren and Su Yun had already walked away.
She hurriedly quickened her pace to catch up.
Arriving at the Emergency Department, Zhou Litao was directing an emergency rescue. Car accident injury, femoral fracture; Zheng Ren glanced at the System Panel and went straight to Zhou Litao's duty room.
The condition wasn't serious; send the patient to Orthopedics Department for direct surgery.
After over twenty Minutes, Zhou Litao finished his emergency work and returned to the duty room.
"Zheng Lao Ban, not busy?" Zhou Litao, his face's little freckles flying from busyness, returned to the duty room laughing.
"Mm, nothing much, just came to take a look." Zheng Ren smiled, "How are you?"
"These few days' shifts aren't busy." Zhou Litao said.
"Who asked you that?" Su Yun said: "Any progress on that blind date we talked about last time?"
Zhou Litao's expression immediately sank; he sighed, shook his head, and said: "I've already deleted the friend."
"I… you're doing this, it's too much!" Su Yun exclaimed in surprise.
"Yun Ge'er, I really don't blame you." Zhou Litao sighed; his longing for love life had already suffered setbacks before the Inpatient Chief even finished.
"Why not blame you? Come, tell us." Su Yun became interested, smiling and asking.
After listening to Yun Ge'er last time, I thought it made sense. Her attitude toward me is somewhat hot-and-cold, but a classmate of mine set it up, so it's hard to say anything.
"Then what?" Su Yun's forehead hair fluttered slightly, looking very interested.
"I think we should just lay it all out, giving each other some face."
"Tch, that sounds nice." Su Yun said disdainfully, "You just want to save face for yourself."
"Yun Ge'er, life's hard, don't tear it apart." Zhou Litao said with a mournful face.
"What's with the not-demolishing? You think you're a demolition household?" Su Yun retorted, "If you wrote a big 'demolish' character, in our 912 area, girls would chase you backward in droves."
"Too materialistic." Lin Yuan commented.
"Too childish." Su Yun said.
"Then what?" Zheng Ren asked offhand.
"Afterwards I chatted with her for a long time, speaking frankly. The main point is that I was still sincere, but feelings require mutual affection. If it doesn't work out, I wish you soon find your ideal boyfriend."
That was said, really too direct.
"Hmm, pretty good." Zheng Ren didn't see a problem, laughing: "Simple and direct, nothing complicated."
"Don't impart your cheat-code life experience to Manager Zhou." Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren, coldly saying.
"Afterwards she also said, let's just be ordinary friends." Zhou Litao sighed, "And so it was."
"Ordinary friends and you deleted the WeChat friend?"
"No, that's not it. We weren't done talking, but a few days later she contacted me again, asking if I'd gone on a blind date, if I was busy, complaining about work unpleasantness, and inviting me to see a movie when I had time."
"Isn't that pretty good?" Zheng Ren thought. But as soon as the idea popped up, he recalled Su Yun's earlier "prediction."
Almost exactly the same; could this guy actually have been right?
"Then what?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Yun Ge'er was right, I'm just a backup." Zhou Litao said, Discouraged, "Out of courtesy, I chatted with her for a while, about half an hour."
"Then I felt this wasn't right, dragging on indecisively. Moreover, the process was basically the same as what Yun Ge'er said; I also wanted to clear my mind, so yesterday I deleted her friend."
"Clap clap clap~" Su Yun applauded.
"Manager Zhou, nicely done!" Su Yun praised, "From now on, we really have to look at you anew."
Yun Ge'er, please don't laugh at me.
"No, I'm really not laughing at you." Su Yun said with a smile: "For such a girl, ordinary people really wouldn't feel embarrassed to delete it; they'd always feel embarrassed, sorry about something."
"It's all thanks to your good teaching, Yun Ge'er." Zhou Litao gave a wry smile, took out his phone, and saw a little red dot on the contacts list.
