Then he suddenly asked her, “Is this the only thing you have to discuss with me, Yingying?”

Could it be that Senior Cao sitting across from her had discovered her weekend plans? Xie Wanying’s eyelids twitched, and she felt an inexplicable panic. She remembered the intense gaze of Senior Cao that morning, which seemed to see right through the little misdeed she had done, shaking her to her core.

Across from her, Cao Yong was wondering if his junior would mention the matter of the envelope. The neurosurgery department was now undergoing an inquiry by the medical affairs department. He had asked privately and confirmed that someone had sent a letter informing President Wu that there was corruption in the hospital.

As for the anonymous letter’s content being true or false, the hospital needed to investigate and wouldn’t wrongly accuse any staff. Another reason President Wu had ordered an investigation was to remind all medical personnel not to be lured by modest bribes into traps laid by some individuals, which would be the height of stupidity.

At first, he was absolutely convinced that it was false. Because Guoxie’s doctors enjoyed excellent benefits, earning their reputation and academic prospects, they had no need to take bribes. Unlike those small local hospitals where doctors lacked money and prospects and were willing to take such risks. Small places had intricate interests; the patients were mostly locals, and not everyone dared to expose the truth.

But what about this morning’s encounter with his junior?

“Senior, are you free this weekend?” Xie Wanying boldly brought up the idea of going out over the weekend, inviting Senior Cao to a meal.

Cao Yong was stunned: This was unprecedented!

“Of course, I’m free!” he exclaimed firmly.

No matter what, he would make time.

“How about Sunday,” Xie Wanying suggested a time. Because tomorrow morning she and her senior sister had to continue working, and she planned to go to the department store on Sunday to buy handkerchiefs. On Sunday afternoon, she had a German class at the Foreign Languages University and guessed she would meet Senior Cao in the evening. Just in time, if Senior Cao had to be busy during the day, he could continue with his tasks.

“Sunday evening?” Cao Yong couldn’t hide his amusement. Was his junior planning to have a candlelit dinner with him?

“Yes.”

“Alright, you choose the place.”

“What do you like to eat, Senior Cao?” Xie Wanying asked, remembering her senior sister said that Senior Cao was very fashionable. He might enjoy western food, “How about steak?”

A candlelit dinner indeed? Cao Yong thought to himself. If he hadn’t already known that his junior had a bit of a naive streak, he might have thought it was a date.

“I’m easy with food. I would be happy just to go out for a meal with you. Have you never had steak in the Capital? How about this, I’ll drive you to a western restaurant I’m familiar with,” Cao Yong suggested.

Senior Cao was so good at speaking. By comparison, she, the one inviting him, didn’t know how to engage in social niceties. Now, she thought about it, and her mother and Li Xuan were right; she did lack in that aspect. Xie Wanying scratched her head and said honestly, “I don’t know where to get good steak, so I’ll have to trouble you to decide, Senior. I’ll pay after we eat.”

What a joke, how could he let a girl he liked pay for the meal? With a smile in his voice, Cao Yong gently told her, “When you are about to finish your class, call me half an hour in advance, and I’ll come to pick you up.”

Finally, she had managed to arrange the outing with Senior Cao. Xie Wanying let out a long breath as she put down her phone.

Turning his thoughts back to the matter at hand, Cao Yong pondered: Why had his junior suddenly called to invite him to dinner?

In the evening, he met up with two old classmates. They mainly discussed today’s big event at the hospital.
