chapter 73

She felt slightly embarrassed.

Zhao Yidong looked sideways, stared at her, and continued, “Another reason was Dr. Fu’s personality. That person, he doesn’t look like someone who would eat with his cousin every day.”

Ji Qingying laughed.

“Sorry.”

Zhao Yidong waved her hand to show that it wasn’t a big deal, “Don’t worry. I know that sometimes such things are quite fun.”

“…”

Ji Qingying became speechless.

Observing her once more Zhao Yidong asked in a whisper, “So are you dating Dr. Fu?”

“No.”

Ji Qingying pursed her lips and smiled, “I am chasing Doctor Fu.”

Zhao Yidong: “…”

She stared at Ji Qingying for a long time, then whispered again, “Then… good luck to you.”

Ji Qingying smiled and nodded.

“Thank you.”

Zhao Yidong smiled, “I will go and eat first.”

“Okay.”

That afternoon.

This piece of gossip had spread all around. The source was a nurse who had heard the conversation between the two.

Now, everyone knew that there was a beautiful lady who liked wearing a cheongsam and was chasing their hospital’s metaphorical selling point and walking sign—Fu Yanzhi.

When Fu Yanzhi was in the cafeteria for lunch in the afternoon, he could hear everything the nurses were saying.

“Have you heard? There’s someone who visits the hospital everyday to woo Doctor Fu?”

“Of course! And I heard that the woman who is chasing Doctor Fu this time is very beautiful and has a very good figure! Apparently, she wears a cheongsam all the time.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I don’t know when she will be rejected.”

“Have you seen her?”

“No, I listened to someone talking about her.”

He paused and looked up at the two people who were probably talking about Ji Qingying.

Just a moment later, he saw Lin Haoran coming in from the other side and it looked like he had heard everything as well.

He sneered as he sat in front of Fu Yanzhi with his meal.

“No.”

He looked at the person in front of him who replied before he had even said anything and asked, “Miss Beauty Ji is chasing you?”

Fu Yanzhi was silent.

Lin Haoran clicked his tongue with a loud tsk and continued rather uncomfortably, “Do you know what?”

Fu Yanzhi gave him a look.

Lin Haoran couldn’t laugh or cry and said with a grumble, “This matter has spread all the way to our department.”

“…”

There was no doubt that Fu Yanzhi was the hero of the day in the hospital.

Ji Qingying hadn’t expected that this matter would explode like this.

God, all she wanted was to not continue deceiving people. She never wanted to declare it to the whole world

But now, the story had spread all the way from the orthopedics department to Lin Haoran’s department. It truly showed the hospital staff’s ability to gossip.

After all, their work life was too hectic and even depressing at times. So listening to gossip in their spare time was their only enjoyment.

Fu Yanzhi was silent for a while, then looked up and stared at Lin Haoran, “You aren’t going back today?”

Lin Haoran replied, “I’m on night duty.”

Fu Yanzhi nodded.

Lin Haoran looked at him and probed without hesitation, “Why doesn’t Miss Beauty Ji come to deliver food at night?”

Fu Yanzhi gave him a glare to warn him.

If it was someone else, they might stop with that scathing look earlier, but Lin Hao Ran wasn’t someone else.

“I haven’t seen Miss Beauty Ji for a long time. How about we meet up and go out together on a day off? “

Fu Yanzhi ignored him and bowed his head to eat.

Lin Haoran dissatisfied, “I am talking to you.”

“No time.”

“Why? Are you going on a vacation?”

He continued to goad his indifferent friend, “Miss Beauty Ji isn’t a local, right? The flowers in Tao Ling should be blooming right about now, and we haven’t visited that place for a long time. Let’s find some time and go for a walk. What do you say?”

Tao Ling.

It was a small mountain.

Foreign tourists generally didn’t go to see the treasures and places preserved by the locals.

Every year during spring and summer, wildflowers in the mountains would be in full bloom and the lush vegetation attracted quite the attention with its beauty.

The air was fresh, and Fu Yanzhi used to go hiking there occasionally when he was free.

He paused and said indifferently, “Say it again.”

Lin Haoran wanted to say something else, Fu Yanzhi clearly noticed his schemes and said, “Shut up, say it again while sitting at the next table.”

Lin Haoran: “…”

Ji Qingying arrived home from the hospital at noon and answered a call from a customer.

This customer was a frequent visitor to her shop and an actor in a stage play. She needed to go abroad to participate in a performance and was looking for Ji Qingying to get a cheongsam at the last moment.

If it was someone else, Ji Qingying wouldn’t have picked it up.

But for regular customers, she generally showed due respect.

Immediately after that she set aside all her distractions and didn’t pay them any attention. Even Fu Yanzhi’s nightly messages were no exception.

Naturally, she didn’t know what had conspired in the hospital.

When she finally visited the hospital it was two days later.

As she was rushing to finish her work, Ji Qingying received an email from San Qing, the organisers of the competition.

She had passed the first round and could participate in the second round.

The second round was different from the first round.

The first round’s requirement was to submit the design draft. The second round was to not only submit the design draft but also to sew out the clothes based on the draft for the model to wear and showcase in the selection.

”

”

After that, it would be the final round.

Taking into consideration the scale of this competition, the organisers would rather gather all the participants who passed the first round and then arrange a hotel for accommodation so that the designers could make the clothes within a set time period and do the exhibition altogether.

From the details given in the email, the organisers had given the participants three days to prepare.

Everyone had to show up at the designated location on a set time on the fourth day.
