Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Flirting

"Alright then." Chen Bajin heard Gu Fuqiao say this, so he nodded and was about to head inside when Gu Fuqiao called out to him.

Gu Fuqiao said, "By the way, that Sister Bei today, how long have you known her?"

Chen Bajin, though unsure why she suddenly asked about Sister Bei, truthfully told Gu Fuqiao, "I’ve known her since I started serving in this military district."

It seems Sister Bei has been in this place for a long time, and judging by her accent, she somewhat sounds like she’s from the Capital.

Listening to her stories today, Gu Fuqiao felt a bit sympathetic toward Sister Bei and wondered what she had gone through. No matter the era, it’s never easy for a woman to make a living on her own. "Did Sister Bei ever talk to you about her family?"

"No, I wish I knew." Chen Bajin shook his head and said, "I think Sister Bei is definitely impressive, very mysterious, but she doesn’t want to talk about it, and I feel awkward asking. Besides, she seems to have gone through something... Anyway, it’s not easy for a woman. Even like this."

Chen Bajin leaned closer to Gu Fuqiao and gestured at his own face, indicating that Sister Bei had scars on her face. "Even so, quite a few people like her, like the boss selling pork at the market, but unfortunately, Sister Bei turned him down."

Hearing the word "butcher," Gu Fuqiao slightly furrowed her brows.

Although Sister Bei only runs a bun shop, Gu Fuqiao could feel that Sister Bei’s demeanor wasn’t suited for the marketplace, and a butcher... surely wasn’t a match for Sister Bei.

Seeing Gu Fuqiao remain silent, Chen Bajin continued: "Sister Bei’s former boyfriend seemed to be a soldier, so she especially likes hearing me talk about life in the military yard. Sometimes, I even mention Yan Camp Commander to her, because his reputation is widespread, a representative figure among soldiers."

Chen Bajin exaggerated his expressions while saying this, amusing Gu Fuqiao.

Gu Fuqiao carried the greens Chen Bajin bought for her and said, "Alright, alright, I need to get going home. Won’t chat with you much now. I’ll teach you to ride a bike next time."

"Sure!" Chen Bajin nodded.

Meanwhile, at the Gu family, ever since the issue with Ouyang Qing occurred, Mother Gu became increasingly gloomy. Although she still feared Old Mrs. Gu, it was obvious she tried to minimize contact with her.

Old Mrs. Gu was having lunch in the dining hall when she saw Father Gu come alone and asked, "Where’s Ouyang Rong?"

Father Gu looked awkwardly at Old Mrs. Gu and said, "Mom, don’t be like this... You’re always so cold, it’s inevitable you’ll frighten Rong."

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu tightened her grasp on her chopsticks by two degrees, but her expression remained indifferent, "Is she not willing to come for the meal?"

"Well... not really." Seeing Old Mrs. Gu’s gaze, Father Gu lost his nerve to speak for Ouyang Rong. He sat down and said, "Rong is, after all, pregnant, and sometimes her appetite isn’t great."

Old Mrs. Gu had nearly finished her bowl of porridge. After putting it down, she said slowly, "Since her appetite isn’t good, she doesn’t need to eat at this table anymore, causing a fuss."

After speaking, Old Mrs. Gu had Sister Sun help her up, and holding her cane, she left without looking at Father Gu again.

On the way upstairs, Old Mrs. Gu’s shadow was elongated by the light. She asked Sister Sun in a low voice, "How did the last matter go?"

"Everything went well, the girl agreed easily. After all, a thousand bucks is quite a bit for her," Sister Sun said, following beside Old Mrs. Gu.

"I remember there’s an employee award ceremony at Ouyang Xuan’s company, right?" Old Mrs. Gu raised an eyebrow and said.

Sister Sun immediately understood, quickly stepping forward and saying, "Yes... it might be quite lively this time for the young master."

Old Mrs. Gu smiled but said nothing further, continuing into her room with her cane.

The hospital holds an award ceremony every July or August, and this year was no exception. Ouyang Xuan has been working as a doctor for several years. As a top-performing individual always striving to excel, he’s almost always part of such award ceremonies every year.

Although the bonus is only two or three bucks, to Ouyang Xuan, he doesn’t want to miss such honors. Besides, during these award ceremonies, leaders are frequently invited.

He also wanted to use this hospital channel to cozy up to some leaders!

It was said that this time the mayor and his niece would be attending the award ceremony. The niece... Apparently, she’s a bit ugly, but her uncle is the mayor.

Ouyang Xuan thought... While his connections and capabilities currently weren’t on par with Old Mrs. Gu, by getting on the mayor’s good side, he’d sooner or later surpass the Gu family, eventually having the Gu family figuratively in his palm.

Thinking of that scenario, Ouyang Xuan looked at himself satisfied in the mirror. Though he wore only a white coat, his well-coiffed hair appeared quite spirited, and the bell-bottoms beneath the coat made him seem less rigid. The new metallic-framed glasses on his nose made him appear gentle and cultured.

Feeling ready, Ouyang Xuan left the dormitory building and had just reached the entrance of the ceremony hall when he saw a couple of black Hongqi cars parked at the door. Waiting there were their hospital director and key doctors.

Once the car door opened, out came a middle-aged man and a woman looking... round like a ball.

That middle-aged man was the mayor, and the woman was the mayor’s only niece. The mayor had no daughter, only a son, so this sole niece was like his own daughter.

After the mayor led his plump niece inside with the hospital leaders, Ouyang Xuan stood outside for a bit, contemplating how to approach the mayor’s niece when suddenly she rushed out from the hall, appearing quite in a hurry.

Ouyang Xuan curled his lips into a smile and then leisurely strolled towards the hall.

As soon as the mayor’s niece saw Ouyang Xuan, she seemed to see a savior. She hurried up, reaching out her chubby hand to grab Ouyang Xuan’s sleeve, asking, "Doctor, where’s your hospital’s restroom?"

When she said this, there was a tremble in her voice.

Ouyang Xuan had never seen a woman like her, but she was still the mayor’s niece.

So, swallowing his disgust, he smiled warmly and said, "You’re new here, right? Let me take you." With that, he led the mayor’s niece to the restroom.
