Chapter 122: Chapter 122: The Four Tigresses of the Xiao Family (8)

Zang Xiaolian drove her there.

Since Fang Yongxing was receiving treatment nearby, there was no need to transfer him to a larger hospital at this stage, so he was staying in the district hospital.

Gu Nuan arrived at the district hospital and went straight upstairs to find Fang Yongxing’s ward on her own. Zang Xiaolian did not follow her up.

Tang Qingzhong had received her message and was waiting for her at the entrance.

"Is senior the only one here?" Gu Nuan asked with some surprise.

Normally, when a company employee has a work-related injury, the company should send someone to take care of them, and there should be many people visiting.

Tang Qingzhong said, "President Chen visited last night. Considering the team leader’s temper, we thought it best for familiar people to stay with him. The team leader’s wife and child just went back to their hometown and are not in the city. I discussed it with Sister Yao, and she will have a colleague come over later to take over my shift."

The harsh nature of Fang Yongxing was indeed more than most people could handle.

It seems someone from the HR department had come by, had seen Fang Yongxing, but probably had been scolded away by him after failing to exchange even a few words.

Gu Nuan just learned that although Fang Yongxing and Sister Yao were not in the same department, they might be kindred spirits in the company due to their compatible personalities and way of doing things, which made them rather good colleagues. Apparently, it was Sister Yao who had told Fang Yongxing about her buying chrysanthemum tea.

After Tang Qingzhong pushed the door open, Gu Nuan followed him into the ward.

Fang Yongxing lay in bed, struggling.

After undergoing surgery to set his fractured bones the night before, both his injured hand and leg were swollen and painful, making it difficult for him to sleep day or night. The painkillers made him feel even worse—his mind was muddled.

When he heard someone coming in, Fang Yongxing opened his eyes and saw Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan walked up to him and said, "Team leader, you should rest. If there’s anything that needs to be done, just instruct senior and me to do it."

Fang Yongxing looked at her and noticed that after the scary incident the night before, there was not a trace of shock on her face.

Considering she was a woman, this kind of fortitude was rare, in no way inferior to any man.

A glint of thoughtfulness flashed in Fang Yongxing’s eyes.

Fang Yongxing said to Tang Qingzhong, "If someone comes to question you, have Gu Nuan speak for you, don’t say anything yourself."

The eloquence and crisis management skills of old Tang, as they were, left much to be desired, which Fang Yongxing knew all too well.

Thinking about how they both escaped danger last night, relying on Gu Nuan’s wit, old Tang wholeheartedly agreed with Fang Yongxing’s suggestion.

In the afternoon, the colleague Sister Yao sent arrived to take over their shift. Tang Qingzhong and Gu Nuan drove back to the company together.

By the time the two of them returned to the business development department, everyone there was staring at them but not one came up to show any concern.

Tang Qingzhong placed his official bag on the desk.

Gu Nuan got ready to wipe the dust off the desks, including Fang Yongxing’s desk, as if nothing had happened.

Xu Zhilin and the others watched her from a distance, unable to comprehend where her calmness came from, unlike a typical woman who had been frightened.

The call from the HR department came at that moment to the phone on Fang Yongxing’s desk.

Tang Qingzhong walked over to pick up the handset, "Yes, our team leader is not here, still in the hospital. —— Does upper management want us to go to the conference room now? Want to ask us some questions?"

It looked like what Fang Yongxing had predicted was happening, someone wanted to question them.

Tang Qingzhong hung up the handset and signaled Gu Nuan with his hand.

The two of them walked out.

As they passed the office of the department head, the door suddenly opened, and a head poked out and asked Tang Qingzhong, "Did HR look for you?"
