Chapter 211: Life’s New Goal - Taking Down Bai Dingxian (2 updates)_1

He Wei couldn’t ultimately persuade Sun Qing, and he didn’t want to say too much.

He had a wife and children, and the women of Hua City were quite strong-willed. A man who married a Hua City woman was destined to be a ’little man’ around his wife.

Therefore, He Wei was always reluctant to get too close to the female employees in the company. He rarely called female employees into his office alone for a talking-to.

He was afraid it would reach the ears of the tigress at home, and she would quarrel with him, not allowing him to save face.

Were it not for such a serious matter, he would never have called Sun Qing alone to remind her not to entertain the thought of opposing Zheng Cheng.

With someone like Zheng Cheng, as long as you go with the flow a bit, you won’t lose out.

But once you infuriate the other party, it’s truly beyond his power to protect you.

The reason he advised Sun Qing was as he had said: Sun Qing was truly dedicated to her work. The way she came to the company was just like how he had started.

Every young person, in their first year out of university and entering society, is filled with fighting spirit and full of ideals, eagerly wanting to find a suitable platform to show off their talents.

Sadly, after a few years of work, these young people who were once full of fighting spirit and ideals either go with the flow or, like him, only seek stability—a salary sufficient to support a family suffices.

As for ideals and ambitions, those with a family do not have the right to burn their boats.

In less than five minutes, Sun Qing had He Wei wave her out.

Five minutes is definitely not enough to do anything, even if someone reports that he was alone in the room with a female employee, the brevity of five minutes would also mean his wife wouldn’t suspect anything.

Sun Qing had an easy day at work, but without any tasks, she felt even more exhausted than if she had had a heavy workload.

Punching out on time, Sun Qing received a call from Tang Su, asking if she had time to join them for dinner at a small tavern.

He even proactively informed Sun Qing about who would be there; Bai Dingkai was away on business, leaving only Bai Dingxian.

Hearing the name Bai Dingxian, Sun Qing couldn’t help but think of what happened last night.

She delivered the packed barbecue and fried rice to Bai Dingxian at the hospital. Due to a sudden, severe car accident, many people needed medical treatment and assistance. Even though the Hua City hospitals shared some of the burden of the injured, Huanan Hospital still received many victims.

The police had urgently notified the families, and with both injured patients and relatives present, the hospital was very crowded.

Sun Qing searched for a long time before finding Bai Dingxian; however, dressed in a white coat and wearing a mask, he was very busy pushing carts and doing what a doctor should do.

He bustled past Sun Qing numerous times, passing back and forth. Sun Qing wasn’t wearing a mask, yet, Bai Dingxian didn’t even cast a glance her way.

Bai Dingxian, so devoted to his work, suddenly entered Sun Qing’s heart. In that moment, she felt he was the most charismatic man she had ever seen.

The book says that a man who works diligently is really handsome. If you have seen it, and if that scene unfortunately moves you, believe that it might be for a lifetime.

Sun Qing originally didn’t believe this saying, even commenting above that line in the book—"The author is being too absolute."

The author who wrote that line replied to her with a smile, not saying much more.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, wisdom in the mind of the wise. Perhaps, that scene had moved others, even the author themselves, but not necessarily.

As for her comment, wasn’t it also absolute?

She hadn’t experienced or felt it, so she denied others’ experiences and feelings. That too could be considered presumptuous.

At that moment, Sun Qing truly felt the unfixed nature of that statement.

Of course, whether it’s for a lifetime needs time to prove. All one can say is, it might be, and it might not be.

Later, Bai Dingxian had a brief moment of downtime, and when he turned his head, he saw Sun Qing. Sun Qing, carrying some late-night snacks, wanted to offer him some food to fill his stomach.

Next to Bai Dingxian, a child of a few years old brought by some patient’s family, seemingly hungry, stared at the food Sun Qing took out, continuously swallowing.

Bai Dingxian shared what he had in his hands with the child, who thanked him. After that, a few more children came over, attracted by the aroma. Bai Dingxian simply shared the fried rice and barbeque with them as well, not eating a bite himself.

Truly selfless.

After the children had finished eating, Bai Dingxian took the empty insulated food containers from their hands. He initially wanted to hand them directly to Sun Qing, but then thought better of it, "I’ll go wash this, and then you can take it back. Ah, I thank you on behalf of those children."

"There’s no need to be so polite, Doctor Bai," Sun Qing said, her ears turning a bit red.

"Then wait for me a moment, I’ll come back after I’ve cleaned it up."

"Okay."

During this short break, Sun Qing also went to the restroom. When she came back, standing at the entrance near the sinks, she heard Bai Dingxian’s conversation with his colleagues very clearly.

"Doctor Bai, a suitor?"

"Don’t talk nonsense, just a friend," Bai Dingxian outright denied.

"Just a friend? Which regular friend would be so selfless, braving the cold wind to bring you such a delicious midnight snack in the middle of the night?"

"Exactly, the young lady looks quite nice. Doctor Bai, since you’re single anyway, I think you might as well accept her."

"Sorry, I can’t, she’s not my type."

"Look at you, acting all high and mighty, a perfect example of the well-fed man who doesn’t understand..."

The colleague turned around and, seeing Sun Qing standing at the door, suddenly choked on his words, unable to utter another unnecessary word.

The male colleague nudged Bai Dingxian with his elbow. After Bai Dingxian wiped off the water droplets from the outside of the insulated food container, he turned around and saw Sun Qing. In that instant, he didn’t feel any embarrassment.

What he said was true, he really wasn’t interested in Sun Qing’s type.

Of course, she was quite attractive, and he acknowledged his colleagues’ taste, but they only saw Sun Qing’s appearance and didn’t know that beneath her nice exterior was a heart that played with men.

Such a woman never thought about having a good life with a man.

He wasn’t foolish enough to like her.

Also, this girl had revealed another unfavorable trait, stealthily eavesdropping on others’ conversations.

Bai Dingxian naturally handed the items back to Sun Qing, "It’s getting late. You should head back earlier; we’ve still got work to do."

"Okay, goodbye, Doctor Bai."

After Sun Qing took the food containers, she turned and left.

As she departed, she inadvertently recalled the words Bai Dingxian had said to his colleagues, unexpectedly awakening a fighting spirit within her.

It had been a while since she had actively pursued someone; being handsome and a fleeting crush were not enough to motivate her to take real action.

However, Bai Dingxian’s rejection of her, along with his demeanor while working that evening, made Sun Qing feel as if she had found a new goal.

Yes, from now on, Bai Dingxian was her brand new life goal; she was determined to win him over.

Before capturing her target, Sun Qing never acted rashly; she had to strategize. Therefore, even though Tang Su said Bai Dingxian was also going to dinner that night, Sun Qing still refused to go.
