Chapter 264: Chapter 197: A Strange Name_3

"Why?" Lu Xue didn’t understand.

She didn’t feel that Tang Xi was putting on airs of superiority. After all, Patient 28 clearly appeared to be someone of high status. Saving such a significant figure, if they kept you in their good graces, even a little help would be meaningful, especially for ordinary medical staff like them.

How could there be people actively pushing it away...

Lu Xue furrowed her brows lightly, scratching her head. "Sister Tang Xi, do you actually know Patient 28? It seems like you’re not a local. I remember you filling out your information before, you’re from North City, and that Patient 28 also..."

She was cut off before she could finish, by Tang Xi’s cold voice.

"Lu Xue, I’ve said it, I just acted on an impulse at that moment. If I had to do it again now, I wouldn’t pay his medical expenses. Such a foolish and pointless thing to do." She stood up and patted Lu Xue on the shoulder, "You keep eating, I’m going back to the office. Remember, this has nothing to do with me."

Tang Xi now, couldn’t wait to hide.

She didn’t want to know anything about Fu Tingzhou.

But returning to the emergency department, these past few days, she could hear bits and pieces about Fu Tingzhou from every corner. His appearance seemed to ignite the hearts of all the young, unmarried, and single women at Central Hospital in an instant.

Everywhere, there was discussion about his identity, the distinguished head of Fu Group, having come to North Island to invest in the tourism business.

"I heard that his car accident was premeditated, life in a wealthy family really isn’t easy these days."

Tang Xi’s hand gripping the pen paused, the black carbon pen releasing deep ink.

The woman’s hand bones slowly turned white.

Strained.

"It seems to be because of a cooperation issue with the Gao Family and the Shangguan Family, someone harbored dissatisfaction, played dirty tricks behind the scenes. Thankfully the injuries weren’t serious, and the cooperation will continue. My cousin works at the Gao Family, it’s said that Fu Group and Gao Family are preparing to establish the first luxury seven-star resort on the island, with Fu Group leading the investment, along with a series of leading tourism chain products. Shangguan Family didn’t outcompete the Gao Family."

Tang Xi slightly pursed her lips, a woman wearing a mask, revealing only a pair of clear, amber-like eyes. She carefully checked the medication used today, signed the name, and then handed it to the head nurse, Song Qin.

After Song Qin signed, she said, "Tonight, as it happens, we all have time. Except for those on night duty, let’s all get together, find a barbecue place and have a good time." Pausing, Song Qin said cheerfully, "It’s my treat!"

Everyone agreed unanimously.

A treat from the head nurse, of course, they would feast!

Tang Xi nodded as well.

Although she wanted to go home to be with her daughter, she also had to... participate in the department’s dinners. Wen Ruomian had reminded her not to be too solitary and to avoid appearing unsociable.

The seaside barbecue stand.

The evening breeze carried a faint salty scent.

Tang Xi had a bit to drink, slightly tipsy, her cheeks tinged with a faint blush.

Though she was busy in the emergency department, after a half-month together, Tang Xi had grown fond of this place. All her colleagues here were great, harmonious in their interactions. Head nurse Song Qin, senior Su Wenqing, they had been very kind and accommodating to her.

North Island might not be large, but the local customs here were mild.

Very inclusive, unlike many large cities where there was exclusivity, prospering alone yet so indifferent, Tang Xi had experienced the coldness of human nature. Yet on North Island, she also felt a different kind of care.

She liked it here, liked this little island.

"Song Qin sister, Wenqing sister, I toast to you both." Tang Xi said, raising her glass and drinking it all in one go.

The beer went down her throat, slightly bitter but refreshing.

Song Qin and Fang Wenqing also smiled and drank a glass, "Tang Xi, we have our rules here in the department. We dine together every week. This time it’s my treat, next time Wenqing, and after that, it’s your turn."

"Of course!"

Tang Xi smiled, but a faintly downcast gaze hid the loss in her eyes.

She liked it here; she didn’t want to leave.

When she returned around ten o’clock at night, Song Qin arranged for a designated driver to take the colleagues who lived farther away home. The car stopped in front of the residential complex where Tang Xi rented her place.

Song Qin reminded her, "Tang Xi, you’ve been here for four years, consider buying a car for convenience. Now there are many affordable electric cars, and it would be convenient for you when you have night shifts. Sometimes it’s too late after work, and there’s no public transport."

"Mhm, I’m considering it... Thank you, sister Song Qin."

Seeing Tang Xi about to leave, Song Qin called out to her, "Tang Xi, how old are you this year?"
