Zhu Tanzhi asked her, "Is this a congratulatory message?"

Zhu Xi pretended not to hear him, didn't look at him, put away her phone, and walked into the hall.

She always has a way of making people uncomfortable.

Wei Jiaqing linked arms with Zhu Tanzhi, "It's all your fault for spoiling him!"

"What have I spoiled about you!" Zhu Tanzhi shook off her hand. "It's you who spoiled Zhu Hao."

There were people taking shelter from the rain at the gate, and some curious eyes were fixed on the two of them.

Wei Jiaqing's hand froze in mid-air, then she retorted, "I spoiled him, so what?"

"Incomprehensible!" Zhu Tanzhi said angrily and left.

Zhu Xi went to see the patients under observation and happened to run into Tian Tian, ​​who was also there for a consultation.

Tian Tian, ​​applying hand sanitizer, said, "Are you free? Buy me a coffee."

As Zhu Xi wrote the medical instructions, she slightly lifted her eyelids and said, "Do I owe you something?"

"Celebrating your wedding?"

Zhu Xi's pen paused, and a drop of thick ink fell onto the white paper.

Tian Tian raised an eyebrow. "I'll send you a big red envelope. Since you don't seem to be planning a wedding banquet, just buy me a cup of coffee."

Zhu Xi continued writing, "Then you can save that big red envelope."

She deliberately emphasized the word "big" in her pronunciation, "so I can save the cost of a cup of coffee."

Tian Tian seemed to smell gossip in the air. "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xi closed her medical record book, pressed down on the pen cap, and put the pen back in her breast pocket. "I'm getting a divorce."

"what?"

"Ah," she smiled faintly, "shut your mouth, my sis is getting a divorce."

Tian Tian followed her to wait for the elevator, without asking why, only to confirm whether it was true or not.

Zhu Xi gritted her teeth, still smiling, her cheeks puffed out, and nodded repeatedly.

"President Zhu, you have great courage!"

Zhu Xi forced a smile again, "Thank you for the compliment."

The two entered the elevator one after the other. Tian Tian leaned on Zhu Xi's shoulder and said, "Your sister is really a handful."

Zhu Xi lowered her eyes. "That's not my sister."

Tian Tian continued, "I smashed two thermos flasks and three water cups this morning. The nurses are afraid to go into that room!"

Zhu Xi repeated, "I don't have a younger sister, I only have a older brother."

"You still have a husband," Tian Tian said, glancing at her. "Your sister went to the VIP ward!"

The elevator stopped almost every floor. When it reached the surgical floor, Zhu Xi gently patted Tian Tian's buttocks.

"I'm getting a divorce soon, I don't have a husband."

As Zhu Xi spoke and laughed, she pressed the close button, successfully shutting out Tian Tian's cursing from the outside world.

The two were too careless while chatting. Zhu Xi assumed that the elevator was full of family members and did not notice the nurse eavesdropping in the corner.

Throughout the morning, rumors and gossip spread and permeated every corner of the hospital.

Within just a few hours, the cleaning lady and the uncle found out.

Her expression was full of sympathy and regret.

Cattle and horses take a midday rest.

Zhu Xi closed her eyes on the small sofa in the doctor's lounge when Dr. Huang walked in, whistling.

He glanced at her and smiled, "President Zhu?"

Zhu Xi hummed in agreement, recognizing the voice as "Dr. Huang."

Dr. Huang looked at the thick layer of tea leaves in the glass and thought it didn't taste good, so he took out his phone to order some milk tea.

"Want some milk tea?"

Zhu Xi gestured "OK".

Dr. Huang kept adding orders, "Full sugar, please?"

Zhu Xi shook her index finger, unwilling to speak.

He straightened his index finger, then bent it.

Dr. Huang immediately understood, "Half sugar?"

Zhu Xi gestured "OK" again, then gave a thumbs-up and thanked him.

Dr. Huang successfully completed the payment. "When you're feeling bitter, you need something sweet to drink. Mr. Zhu, you have a strong tolerance, half sugar is enough for you."

Lying down, Zhu Xi thought he was sympathizing with her miserable life as a resident chief.

She shifted her position, opened her eyes a crack, and said, "I didn't fall asleep until 4 a.m. last night, no, I didn't fall asleep until 6:30 a.m. today, and I woke up at 6:30 a.m.

She yawned, "I'm sleepy."

To Dr. Huang, the word "困" (kùn, meaning trapped or confused) seemed to have a different interpretation.

The delivery rider had arrived at the store. Dr. Huang put down his phone. "Xiao Zhu," he said, "life is tough, no matter where you are."

Zhu Xi keenly sensed something was wrong; her eyes, which hadn't slept well, were sore and throbbing, and her temples were throbbing.

She opened her eyes, shifted from lying on her side to leaning back, her right foot stepping on her left ankle. "What?"

Dr. Huang raised an eyebrow. "People, you know, they can get by if they just make do. You've only been married a short time, how did you get to the point of divorce!"

Zhu Xi was dumbfounded.

"Divorce is easy, but it's too late to regret it later." Dr. Huang slapped his thigh and gave an example: "When your sister-in-law and I first got married, we often argued. At one point, she even smashed the TV we had just bought for our wedding home."

Dr. Huang chuckled, "That cost me a month's salary."

"Look, we're doing just fine now, with a son, a daughter, a cat, and a dog."

Zhu Xi raised her hand, frowning in confusion. "Dr. Huang, are you trying to persuade me not to get a divorce?"

"Your husband shouldn't be involved with your sister," Dr. Huang said. She had met Zhou Yinghuai once and thought he was a very cultured man.

He spoke up for Zhou Yinghuai, saying, "But I always feel there's a misunderstanding. Your husband doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do these things."

Zhu Xi: "Huh?"

At that time, Zhou Yinghuai was always working in the president's office of Dazhou Group.

The vice president was Zhou Yinghuai's younger brother from a collateral branch of the Zhou family. Seeing Zhou Yinghuai's expression, he pushed the tea towards him.

"Brother, have some water."

Zhou Yinghuai remained silent, staring at the project feasibility report on the computer screen.

His brow furrowed. "Did you approve this report?"

Cousin Zhou Yingbo nodded, "Mm."

Zhou Yinghuai leaned back in his chair. "Using the photovoltaic technology from the neighboring city's west side to invest in an African factory, thereby seizing the market there?"

Zhou Yingbo: "Yes."

"And they also want to proactively undertake projects for the local government?"

"Yes, I've checked it out; the profits are considerable."

Zhou Yinghuai nodded, and said sarcastically, "If we take on a few more good projects like this, Dazhou Group's market value can multiply several times this year."

"Brother, this is something your younger brother should share."

Zhou Yinghuai picked up his phone, preparing to call his cousin's father and briefly complain.

His cousin, anticipating his intentions, said, "Brother, you've changed four younger brothers in two days. If you change me again, you'll have to send out the younger brother who's already in college."

"Brother," the younger cousin stood up and pushed the coffee forward a bit, "If the project doesn't work out, we won't do it. If you've had a fight with your wife and things aren't going well, I'll go to the hospital and beg her to forgive you."

Zhou Yinghuai looked up. "Who said we had a fight?"

My cousin spread his hands, pointing at his bitter, cynical face, "You used to be a workaholic, but you've never looked this miserable before."

sad.

This word is both appropriate and fitting.

Zhou Yinghuai coldly told him to get lost!

My cousin, with his tail between his legs, also took the paper project proposal he had brought with him.

In the luxurious office of the president of Dazhou Group, only Zhou Yinghuai remained, looking forlorn.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, but couldn't stop the throbbing in his temples.

Several screenshots of group messages were sent from the hospital's internal network.

The reasons for his divorce from Zhu Xi have developed into...

He fell in love with Zhu Xi's half-sister, and the two had a child.

Zhu Xi was kept in the dark about all of this and still treated her half-sister with genuine kindness.

Feeling bitter, Zhou Yinghuai looked at the chat box between the two of them and typed a few words.
