Chapter 84: 072 Visiting Lu Han Under the Pretense of Seeing Grandpa Wu (2 Updates)_2

Shen Cheng and Ruan Mei exchanged a glance after hearing this, their eyes communicating:

Right, that’s the kind of work attitude a street office director should have! Look at Director Wen, she’s even worse than those market hags who love to take advantage. She simply asks people directly for things.

If she can’t get what she wants directly, she’d take things from others indirectly by issuing IOUs.

Some people are too embarrassed to ask for such small sums of money, so they keep quiet. If someone asks for it, she just pretends and laughs it off, claiming she’s been too busy and forgot.

How did such a person get into this department? She’s not serving the citizens; she’s focused entirely on taking advantage of the common people.

Seeing that Director Chen was determined not to agree, Tang Su couldn’t insist either, as the other party had already mentioned the unit’s regulations. How could she make them violate their rules?

"Then take a seat here, Director Chen. A cup of warm water is fine, right?"

Director Chen nodded, "Thank you."

That meant boiled water was no problem.

Once Chen was served a cup of boiled water, Shen Cheng left.

Tang Su and Director Chen chatted face to face for about ten minutes before Director Chen stood up to take her leave. Tang Su insisted on seeing her to the door.

When Tang Su turned to come back, the three of them gathered around, "What did Director Chen say?"

"She came to explain to us that the film crew had already prepared compensation for our businesses. The standard is close to the average value, not the peak value for high compensation, nor the low value to shortchange us. It turns out, Director Wen had ill intentions and wanted to embezzle part of the money. She has been reported and is under investigation, so Director Chen is taking over," Tang Su explained.

"So that’s how it is. I knew it didn’t make sense, the way that Ms. Wen explained it," Ade said, recalling Director Wen’s demeaning tone and still feeling very dissatisfied.

Talking about being a servant of the people, public servants are supposed to do real work for the people. She’s just like a modern-day Huang Shiren, too malicious at heart.

"Director Chen seems like a decent person, upright and straightforward," commented Ruan Mei.

Shen Cheng nodded, "From now on, we’ll have good days ahead."

"That’s for sure. The days of paid leave for all of you will soon be here," Tang Su dropped the most explosive news.

"Hahaha..."

Tang Su was also very happy. The film crew tentatively planned to wrap up all the scenes on Culture Street within two weeks, which meant she would have two weeks off to confess her feelings to Lu Han.

How wonderful!

As the new takeout orders came in, Ade and the others got busy again. The orders weren’t too large, and Tang Su left the cafe with Little Douding in tow.

A lady and a cat arrived at the outdoor parking lot on Culture Street; Tang Su’s car was parked there the whole night yesterday.

The local businesses paid for parking by the month, which was cheaper than paying per use, allowing for overnight stays without extra charges.

Vehicles not registered on record were charged by the hour with different rates for day and night.

Just as Tang Su got in her car, her phone rang. For a second, she thought it was Lu Han calling, and when she speculated it might be him, her heart started pounding fiercely.

Little Douding, cradled in her arms, was the first to feel the increase in her heartbeat.

The little guy raised his head, "Meow, meow—" Was it an earthquake?

Tang Su moved the little one to the passenger seat and took out her phone from her bag. After seeing the caller ID, her racing heart calmed down.

It wasn’t Lu Han; it was Wu Jie.

Wu Jie had been accompanying his grandfather for a full medical checkup at the hospital today, having completed almost all the exams in internal medicine.

They were planning to go to the ENT department for another checkup, but Wu Donglin was tired and wanted to rest. Moreover, he hadn’t eaten breakfast because he planned to give blood this morning.

But when the doctor asked if he had been drinking, Wu Donglin candidly admitted to it, so no blood could be drawn today. He would have to go hungry again tomorrow.

Wu Donglin was annoyed, yet there was nothing he could do.

Wu Jie, on the other hand, was amused, always telling him to stop drinking and listening to him claim it was no big deal.

He’s just too stubborn. When rushed, he’d even say that at his age, dying was worth it.

If a person isn’t even afraid of dying, what can Wu Jie say? Insisting further would make him seem callous.

After all, the doctors had said drinking was bad, but being in a bad mood at his age was also detrimental.

What to do?

Drinking seems to really boost his grandfather’s spirits. To let him drink or not?

"Tang Su, are you sober yet?" Wu Jie asked.

"Yeah, I’ve already helped out in the shop. Which hospital are you and Grandfather Wu at for the checkup?"

Tang Su’s thoughts were, if they were at her parents’ hospital, she could call her mother to take extra care of them.

"Huanan Hospital. My grandfather said an old comrade recommended this hospital to him," Wu Jie replied.

"Huanan?" Hearing that it was Doctor Lu’s hospital, Tang Su’s voice involuntarily shot up by an octave.

Little Douding, who was about to nap on the passenger seat, was startled by the ’noise.’

"What’s up?" Wu Jie was also puzzled.

"Doctor Lu works at that hospital; he’s the head of the ENT department."

"Really? That is quite a coincidence." Wu Jie’s voice didn’t betray whether he was happy or not, followed quickly by him saying, "We’re about to go to the ENT department for a checkup, but Grandfather is tired and wants to rest awhile."

"Then I’ll come right over to see Grandfather Wu; wait for me," said Tang Su before she hung up the phone.

Wu Jie: "..."

He figured she was using the excuse of visiting his grandfather to see Doctor Lu, wasn’t she?

No, was she that drunk last night?

She didn’t drink much, whereas his grandfather had been sneaky and drank quite a bit.

Or was it that Tang Su had had a successful confession and couldn’t wait to see Lu Han again after just a short while?

Wu Jie felt that if it was the latter, then his heart was being tormented by the love between Tang Su and Lu Han.

Of course, Wu Jie didn’t know that Tang Su’s excessive drunkenness wasn’t just because of the fine wine but also because she thought she had dreamt of Lu Han once again.
