Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1894: The 36 Stratagems
"No." Chang Jiawei followed up, correcting her, "Call your childhood friend and ask her to come to the eighth floor. Teacher Fu and I will celebrate her birthday together here."
Xie Wanying: Huh?
She could only call her childhood friend to ask her own opinion on whether to eat on the eighth or ninth floor.
"Yingying, I’m almost there." After receiving the call from her friend, Wu Lixuan asked, "Where are you in the hospital right now?"
"Eighth floor or ninth floor?"
"What?"
"I asked if you prefer the eighth floor or the ninth floor?"
After pausing for a few seconds on the other end, Wu Lixuan said, "I’m here, wait for me a bit."
The taxi stopped at the hospital entrance.
After squeezing out of the car, Wu Lixuan spotted her friend’s silhouette and jogged briskly over.
"Doctor Chang, Doctor Huang, Doctor Song, good morning." Wu Lixuan greeted the clients respectfully, "Have you had breakfast? If not, I’ll go buy some—"
"We’ve bought breakfast for you." Chang Jiawei shook the bag in his hand.
"And we got you a birthday cake." Huang Zhilei chimed in.
So many people buying food to celebrate her birthday? Wu Lixuan’s face showed a large amount of surprise, her eyes darting around to look at everyone’s faces. Combining that with what her friend Yingying said on the phone, she shivered all over and said, "Yingying, I’ve thought of something we can buy to bring up and eat. Come with me to take a look." After saying that, without waiting for others to react, she quickly grabbed her childhood friend and dashed down the steps to escape.
A strategic retreat for safety. Even someone as skilled at navigating social situations for business as she felt the scenario was too complicated to handle.
Once others saw the two of them running off, cough cough. While chewing on chicken wings, Song Xueling nodded and laughed, "Dr. Xie’s friend is quite something too."
"What are we buying?" asked Xie Wanying, who was being dragged along, to her friend.
"Who do you want to buy food for?" Wu Lixuan turned back to ask for her own opinion.
"Teacher Fu likes porridge, so we’ll get porridge, buns, and fried dough for Teacher Fu. As for Senior Cao, it seems he likes rice rolls, but he mentioned wanting to try something different today and has already bought KFC." After thinking it over, Xie Wanying asked her, "What do you want to eat? It’s your birthday today, I’ll pay."
"Buy me a lollipop," Wu Lixuan playfully winked at her. In her mind, she thought her friend was torn between keeping both love and career in balance, thinking about both the teacher and the senior.
If she was going to buy lollipops, Teacher Fu wouldn’t eat them. Xie Wanying took the chance to also buy some for Senior Cao, Doctor Song, and the others.
The two girls happily picked out candies in the shop.
Not long after, Fu Xinheng received the breakfast delivered by an old classmate in his office and said, "Thanks. What made you think of buying me breakfast?"
Chang Jiawei, with a dark and sullen look on his face, was in an extremely foul mood and didn’t want to answer his question at all, because the duck that was almost in hand flew away. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Glancing at his expression and then at his athletic jacket, Fu Xinheng seemed to understand what was going on and solemnly warned him, "Stop using me as bait."
Chase your own people, stop using me to reel them in.
"Oh come on," Chang Jiawei returned to sit on the sofa, crossing his legs and slapping his knee, criticizing him back, "If I hadn’t helped you probe, would you have known she was interested in cardiothoracic surgery?"
"We all know she’s interested in cardiothoracic surgery," Li Chengyuan, who was also in the office, countered his statement. It wasn’t that everyone was blind. Student Xie ultimately couldn’t completely hide her thoughts, and some preferences were revealed.
