After reincarnation, attack as a female imp!

"That's not right. He's been missing for so long, don't his family know? The kid is really stupid. Shouldn't the whole village immediately start looking for him if he goes missing?"

Zhu Jiang laughed when he heard Liu Tingjin's words, and his laughter was meaningful.

"So you grew up on honey, huh? A dumb idiot is a negative asset. I think the old man in his family was too soft-hearted and didn't let the idiot go easily. He was going to die anyway, so they didn't use any harsh measures. The idiot was still in the water and suffered for a week in vain."

Chapter 145: The Cold Smoke and the Hesitant Jin Ni

Qin Zhixin picked up her report book and emerged from her cubicle. She checked the time: 7:40, still a while before her shift change, which was due at 7:45. She hesitated for a moment before entering the doctor's office. Most of the doctors and nurses in the department had arrived, nearly thirty of them standing around the long table in the middle of the office, many chatting quietly. As Qin Zhixin entered, everyone looked at her.

Qin Zhixin didn't react at all. She stood beside the long table with a cold face and the report book in her hand. Her charming almond-shaped eyes now looked like the white blood of a dead fish, and she had an indescribable decadence.

She sighed inwardly, her eyes scanning everyone around the table in the doctor's office.

"The head nurse hasn't arrived yet, so let me make a few remarks before the shift begins. There's a new hire here today, and you should all know about it. Each group will explain things to the new hire later, emphasizing the essentials and common mistakes. Let me be clear, the department's account is running low. If accidents keep happening, we'll have to figure out how to raise the money ourselves after deducting the department's funds."

After Qin Zhixin finished speaking, there was still silence below. The two people in her group who were sitting around the table were making faces at her.

Both of them are boys.

One was a doctoral candidate, about 5 feet 4 inches tall, thin, and unassuming. He had joined the team last year and was considered Qin Zhixin's "senior." His given name, Meng, was Wei, and he was known for his unruly nature. He often made excuses during surgeries, and when things got busy, he would have to work late into the night, leaving Qin Zhixin, his "junior sister," to shoulder the responsibility.

But the problem was that Qin Zhixin didn't dare to say anything to him, because Meng Wei had suffered from bronchiectasis and his physical condition was very poor. Qin Zhixin was afraid that he would suddenly die of sudden death from staying up late one day.

The other one, a professional master's student, had joined two months earlier, making him roughly the same age as Qin Zhixin, but Qin Zhixin was employed while he was enrolled. His name was Zhang Heshou, a rather old-fashioned name, and he looked honest, tall and strong. The problem was that he was gay, and his usual manner of speaking was flirtatious. He called Qin Zhixin "Sister Xinxin" and Meng Wei "Good Brother."

Last month, Zhang Heshou confessed his love to another boy who joined the department at the same time as him, but that boy was straight. In the first month after joining the department, this unlucky boy would come to Qin Zhixin all the time to ask about her well-being. His licking dog behavior really annoyed Qin Zhixin. But after Zhang Heshou confessed his love to him, he didn't dare to come to Qin Zhixin's department anymore.

After being rejected by his sweetheart, the big man Zhang Heshou hid in the doctor's office and cried, giving off a strange feeling like Zhang Fei with tears in his eyes.

Meng Wei was always afraid of getting into trouble. He was afraid of being harassed by a gay man. After all, Zhang Heshou's repeated calls of "good brother" over the past month had left him with a psychological scar. He didn't dare to comfort the sickly man, and the nurses in the department just watched the fun. In the end, Qin Zhixin had to clean up the mess, but she felt uneasy even around Zhang Heshou.

She had seen many people like Zhang Heshou in Chengdu, but she still felt uncomfortable every time she saw him.

Qin Zhixin couldn't help but feel tired at the various performances of the two monsters in the same group, but she had just taken over the shift and was standing in the middle of the office. She couldn't say anything at the moment, so she had to continue reciting with a cold face, and simply asked the doctors and nurses on duty in each group to briefly talk about the conditions of the patients who were admitted and discharged yesterday.

After giving the order, Qin Zhixin quickly stood aside, first hiding behind the head nurse, then stood on tiptoe and glared at the two people who had just made faces, then looked at her watch and counted the time.

When she brings Lu Zudra here today, at least her medical team will have one more reliable person, and he will be an old acquaintance. At least there will be someone to help when she has to stay up late to perform the operation.

The department's morning shift handover was boring, more like a sign-in exercise for everyone in the department. The department's most senior professors didn't even show up for the morning handover, leaving subsequent ward rounds entirely to the younger doctors. Qin Zhixin was in charge of four beds, but she wasn't in the mood to do them. She waited until the morning shift was over, lingered in the doctor's office, and then grabbed Meng Wei, allowing Zhang GAY to show them all the beds they were responsible for.

Zhang Heshou complained a lot, hooking his fingers like an orchid and fidgeting, but he still did as Qin Zhixin told him because he was intimidated by her power.

After the department director and the ward round team walked away, Qin Zhixin and Meng Wei first poked their heads out of the doctor's duty room door and looked around surreptitiously. After Qin Zhixin was sure that the director had gone far away, she unbuttoned her white coat and ran to the hospital's surgical teaching and research department.

Lu Zude had already sent her a message, saying that he was undergoing training in the Department of Surgery. Qin Zhixin asked him to wait at the door.

The surgical teaching and research department of Nanling Stomatological Hospital is located on the second mezzanine floor of the inpatient building. It is a first floor divided into two floors, the floor height is relatively low, and the lighting is very poor, so all lights have to be turned on during the day.

The hospital wasn't properly waterproofed when it was built, so the second floor always smelled musty. Meng Wei sneezed continuously as he followed Qin Zhixin over. After a short rest until his nose felt better, he followed Qin Zhixin to the door of the teaching and research office, where Lu Zude was standing.

Qin Zhixin met her old classmates for the first time in eight years and felt a little unfamiliar.

Lu Zude looks quite different from when he was in high school. He has lost a lot of weight and looks more energetic.

His facial features were similar to those of high school, but clothes make the man. Lu Zude was wearing a dark camel-colored, double-breasted suit with peak lapels. The suit accentuated his broad shoulders, making his 5'7" frame appear even taller. Overall, he looked like an academic elite.

Meng Wei sneezed again, this time his nose erupting with snot. He reached into his white coat pocket, pulled out a tissue, and blew his nose with a "puff" sound, a hint of water. Qin Zhixin couldn't stop rolling her eyes beside Meng Wei. She sighed and quickly paced forward, as if avoiding the plague.

Lu Zude's eyes lit up when he saw his old classmate. Although Qin Zhixin's white coat buttons were undone, and the baggy plaid shirt she wore underneath was a little unkempt, all these little flaws seemed to make sense on her. She had always been like this; Lu Zude knew it when they had been deskmates in high school.

Lu Zude opened his arms for a hug. "Old Qin, it's been a long time."

Qin Zhixin stood half a meter in front of Lu Zude, raised her head and squinted her eyes, with scrutiny in her watery eyes, as if she was taking a closer look at this old classmate whom she hadn't seen for many years.

"Yeah, it's been a few years. You're dressed too formally. Also, you should call me Senior Sister."

"Okay, okay, Senior Sister Qin, are you satisfied now?"

Lu Zude couldn't keep his smile off. Although Qin Zhixin ignored his hug, which made him feel a little awkward, he felt at ease because she was still the same as she was in high school. It was as if the eight years of school had left no trace on her. She was still as beautiful and charming as ever.

"Are you done yet? I was distracted. Okay, I'll take you to the department and we'll start the surgery right away."

"I'm just here to hand in my file. I'm a student, not an employee."

After hearing this, Qin Zhixin grabbed Lu Zude's sleeve and walked towards the elevator.

"What are you talking about here, posing? Come on, follow me to the stage."

Lu Zude staggered as Qin Zhixin pulled him, and he was completely stunned.

"No, Old Qin, you're too impatient. Don't you want me to get familiar with it again? I'm afraid of you being like this, urging me to work like a slave."

"How can I not be anxious? Our team only has a few big and small people, and we are short of laborers. You are really here to save us from danger."

Meng Wei finished blowing his nose and followed. He stuffed the tissue he used to wipe his nose directly into the pocket of his white coat. Lu Zude's eyes twitched slightly when he saw this, but Meng Wei paid no attention to it. His nose was itchy and uncomfortable, and the intercalation made his whole body itchy, including his nasal mucosa.

"Junior Brother Lu, I may have to trouble you later. My name is Meng Wei, and I'm in the same diagnosis and treatment team as this tomboy. Our chief physician doesn't take care of the case very much, so there's another person performing the surgery. You'll find out later."

Hearing Meng Wei call her a tomboy, Qin Zhixin turned around and kicked Meng Wei's shoes. Meng Wei couldn't dodge. Although he didn't feel any pain from being stepped on, he still deliberately grimaced and gasped. Qin Zhixin saw that he was pretending and snorted in annoyance.

"Lu Zude, this guy is our team's Lin Daiyu. He can't lift anything with his hands or shoulders, so he definitely won't get any overtime. The boss is afraid he'll die on the job. From now on, if there's an emergency surgery at night, it will probably be you, me, and another person from our team."

Speaking of the remaining person, Qin Zhixin's expression was a little strange. She looked at Lu Zude with a half-smile, and that expression of unable to suppress the smile made Lu Zude a little confused.

"Old Qin, what's wrong with you? Let me be clear, I used to be a master's student. It's impossible for you to ask me to perform surgery alone. Without someone to guide me, I would cause a medical accident in a matter of minutes."

"Don't give me that. I didn't have much chance to go to the clinic before graduation. You'll learn the surgery as you go along. Meng Wei teaches surgery very well. You'll definitely be able to do a few minor surgeries in half a month. Don't worry, I'm a good person. You're dressed so handsomely. The other one in our group will definitely like it."

Qin Zhixin started laughing after she finished speaking, and even Meng Wei joined in the laughter. However, the sickly man soon started sneezing again. Meng Wei's condition only improved after the three of them got into the elevator.

After recovering from his shock, Meng Wei couldn't help but chatter. Seeing Lu Zude's stylish attire, which complemented his sleek figure, he might have been kind, or perhaps malicious, but he still spoke up. "Junior Brother Lu, why don't you leave your clothes with Qin Zhixin later? She's the chief resident, and she has a small room for storage. The white coat department has one too. Don't dress too formally when you come to the hospital. Another person in our group might be a little, uh, too intimate with others, so you should be careful."

Lu Zude didn't answer. He looked at Qin Zhixin again. Qin Zhixin didn't answer, but just smiled. This damn girl's smile was silly and evil.

Lu Zude felt something was wrong, as if he had gotten on a pirate ship.

"Brother Meng, is there something wrong with the other one?"

"Well, how should I put it? He confessed his feelings to a blogger from the next group last month and was rejected."

"That's perfectly normal. What's wrong with being rejected? We've been doing it in the operating room for most of the day. We've been face to face for so long, so it's fair to say we've grown to love each other. Even if we were rejected, it wouldn't be that serious."

Meng Wei's expression became even more strange after hearing this. He nudged Qin Zhixin with his elbow and kept making expressions.

Qin Zhixin had a tense face. Seeing that Lu Zude was confused, she simply opened her mouth to explain.

"He's gay. If you dress up and make a good first impression, he might confess his feelings to you. He's doing emergency surgery tonight, so you'll have plenty of time to develop a crush on him later."

The expression on Lu Zude's face suddenly fell.

Chapter 146: Rare Goods

On the afternoon of October 6, 2013, Qin Zhixin returned to Nanling.

There were only a day and a half left of the National Day holiday, and she had to go back to school at noon on the 8th. The National Day holiday only lasted seven days, and Qin Zhixin had already spent three of them in the countryside. The signal in Huanzigang was so slow that even browsing Tieba was impossible, which made Qin Zhixin very resentful. But time had passed, and it was not subject to her will, so her dissatisfaction was useless.

But Qin Zhixin wasn't all negative. Qin Zhifeng urged her on the phone, telling her to go home and skip dinner. He'd first gone to Haining Leather City to buy her a schoolbag, then picked her up at 4:30 pm to go shopping at Deji Plaza. After they'd finished their shopping, they'd go out for dinner at a newly opened, affordable seafood restaurant.

Deji Plaza is Nanling's most renowned luxury shopping center, boasting annual sales of no less than 5 billion yuan since its opening. Tax revenue alone brings in hundreds of millions of yuan annually, surpassing even several established high-end shopping malls in Shanghai. Second only to Shin Kong Place in the capital, it firmly holds the title of China's second-largest high-end commercial shopping center. It's also renowned for its comprehensive selection of luxury goods. Many of the highest-end, handmade luxury goods are found only in one location in China, and that location is likely located in Nanling Deji Plaza.

Qin Zhifeng said on the phone that he had reserved an Alaskan long-legged crab weighing more than four pounds for her today, and he would definitely let her eat until she was full.

Qin Zhixin was as happy as a puppy. She went home and took a long bath. For the first time ever, she didn't use soap to wash her hair or face. Instead, she used shampoo and facial cleanser. She even took out a new lavender soap for her body. Qin Zhixin preferred soap to shower gel, and one of the reasons she liked soap was that brand new bars could be stacked like bricks. It was a comforting sight, as if she were storing gold nuggets instead of soap.

It was almost time to finish washing. Qin Zhixin originally wanted to wear a windbreaker to go out, but in the end she wore a denim short jacket and jeans, and changed her base into a newly bought gray hooded sweatshirt. This was her most familiar outfit. When she was a tomboy when she was a child, she liked to dress like this all the time, and then wander around and do some sneaky things.

Qin Zhixin dug the watch the system had given her from under her pillow. It hadn't been working for a long time. She hadn't worn it when she went to the countryside. This handmade, manual-operated mechanical watch was a work of art, with a reserve time of less than forty hours. Qin Zhixin adjusted the time on her phone and carefully wound it, not wanting to wind it all the way to the limit.

Qin Zhifeng was already downstairs urging her.

Qin Zhixin went out happily, and as soon as she left the community, she saw Qin Zhifeng standing next to a brand new Volkswagen car.

Qin Zhixin had never seen this car before. She quickly walked over to Qin Zhifeng. Seeing her, he got in and followed her to the back seat. There was a black backpack and a dark camel-colored women's aviator leather jacket on the back seat. Curious, Qin Zhixin reached out and touched them. Both were well-made and had a nice leather smell, not unpleasant at all.

Qin Zhifeng turned on the car radio, but the signal wasn't very good. There was a constant murmur coming from the speaker. He hadn't adjusted it properly, so he punched the radio hard. It made another crackling noise, then stopped for a while before it came back on again, this time with the murmur gone. Qin Zhixin was speechless at this primitive repairmanship, but seeing how he acted, she was certain the car belonged to Qin Zhifeng. She spoke uncertainly.

"Brother, when did you buy this car? I've never seen it before."

"It was only registered a few days ago, and you were still in the countryside at the time. It's a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, so you'll have to make do with it for two years. Do you see the backpack and clothes in the back seat? I bought them for you. Try them on."

Qin Zhixin shed her old clothes and donned a leather jacket. It wasn't particularly thick, nor was it a slim fit; it was rather oversized, but it felt very well made, with the zippers inside and the rivets on the outside made of sturdy material. She lifted the black leather satchel and placed it on her lap, examining it. It was large and heavy, with several compartments and a dozen or so brass parts that had been distressed, giving it the appearance of being quite expensive.

Qin Zhixin was so excited that she rubbed the leather surface of the schoolbag, but she only felt proud for a moment before she quickly felt guilty.

"Brother, these are not cheap, right?"

"The schoolbag is over 1,000 yuan, and the clothes are over 4,000 yuan. The prices are not bad."

"Oh my god, this dress is so expensive?"

"The schoolbag is made of ordinary top-grain cowhide, a domestic leather material. The clothes are imported Nappa suede, the cost can't be low."

Qin Zhixin widened her eyes and touched the clothes for a long time with her tender little hands. Just now she thought the two leathers felt similar, but after Qin Zhifeng said that, she suddenly felt that the leather jacket on her body felt different, as if it was much more delicate than the schoolbag.

"Brother, what's going on? I feel a little insecure... Did you do something bad?"

Qin Zhifeng watched Qin Zhixin's troubled expression through the rearview mirror and felt that giving this damned girl money was a waste of money. He took a deep breath, too lazy to bother with this heartless girl.

"Last time I went to a hotel to promote anti-cancer drugs, it's confirmed that, combined with other miscellaneous items, I can conservatively make over 30,000 yuan a month."

Qin Zhixin took a breath.

"Wow! Thirty thousand, how can you make so much money as a middleman?"

"You're a bullshit middleman! If you keep calling me that, I'll beat you up! I'm qualified."

"Okay, I'm not a middleman, but I think I can be a drug agent. Do you have half a million this year?"

Qin Zhifeng stopped at a red light. He was silent for a moment, thinking, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel. "Next year."

"Tsk, Gouzi, you're rich! Take me with you when I graduate. I want to get rich too. Five hundred thousand a year! I don't know how to spend it."

Qin Zhixin leaned forward with a smile, her plump breasts resting against the back of the driver's seat, and her soft hands draped over Qin Zhifeng's shoulders, like a little girl acting coquettishly, but that silly expression made her inexplicably deserve a beating.

Qin Zhifeng felt Qin Zhixin's arm pressing on his shoulder, his face expressionless.

"You want to be a drug agent?"

"I'm rich! Why don't you become a rich man?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Study hard at Nanshi High School and go to a good school in the future. I went to Suzhou University, but honestly, my degree isn't very impressive. Going to a good school and getting a decent degree is more useful than anything else. You'll be taken advantage of in my line of work with your looks."

"So, were you taken advantage of?"

"I'm a man, and the troubles male drug agents encounter are different from those faced by female ones. There are many young women among them. When they first come here, they are in their early twenties, with faces full of collagen, but you can't tell their age. They look old, constantly drinking and socializing, and the beautiful ones often have to sleep with men, and they always have flattering, almost vulgar smiles on their faces. Most female drug agents don't work long. After five or six years, they look no different from those in their thirties. This is a job for the young, and you don't want to work here."

"Well, you're taking it too far."

"I haven't said anything more unpleasant, do you want to hear something more unpleasant?"

"do not."

Qin Zhixin sat up straight, looking out the window, tactfully avoiding the topic. It was still a holiday, but many people were already at work. Students had seven days off for National Day, but for office workers, four days off was considered a sign of goodwill from their bosses. It was still a while before the evening rush hour, but the roads were already showing signs of a traffic jam. Qin Zhifeng's car couldn't move fast enough in the traffic, and soon stopped again.

"Your sister is very smart."

Qin Zhifeng said something without thinking, but he didn't continue. The only sound in the car was the radio, which was broadcasting a celebrity's emotional gossip.

"What happened to her? Brother, do you still remember Liu Yujin? She's the fat guy we went hiking with before. She went to Gan Province with him these past few days."

"I remember. It's not surprising. She always knows what she wants. Liu Yujin is a perfect match for her. He's very simple and honest, and she has him completely captivated."

"You make it sound like she's such a bad person, really..."

Qin Zhixin was interrupted before she could finish her words.

"She was divided into arts and science classes and asked me about college. I told her that if she studied arts, her best path forward would be law, but law is a very difficult and crowded field, and there are too many women in arts programs. I asked her if her sexual orientation was normal, and if she liked being around women and interacting with them, she should study arts."

"Tsk, she chose physics and chemistry. And how can liberal arts be considered an abnormal sexual orientation?"

"You chose a bad one when you could have chosen a good one, isn't that..."

"So she's very smart. Not only will she choose physics and chemistry, she'll also study engineering when she goes to college."

Qin Zhifeng didn't continue talking. He looked at Qin Zhixin through the rearview mirror. Qin Zhixin and he looked at each other through the reflection of the rearview mirror. Qin Zhixin felt that there was something else behind Qin Zhifeng's words. The topic was about Tang Manwen, but he was talking to her more.

"Because there are more boys in engineering?"

"Because there are more boys in engineering. With more boys, her appearance will be more valuable. There's a saying among soldiers that goes, 'After three years in the barracks, a sow becomes as beautiful as Diao Chan.' And your sister's appearance is already as beautiful as Diao Chan."

"Hey, that's corny. I'll tell my sister about that."

"Whatever you say, the truth doesn't become false just because someone retells it. Not only your sister, but your mother is also beautiful. I've told them that they are beautiful."

Qin Zhixin came to her senses and felt a little dissatisfied, her lips pouting.
