Chapter 137 Are you a masochist?
When Gu Jingzhou arrived at the emergency department of the 717 Hospital, Su Xiaoxiao was seeing a patient.
After taking a look at her at the door, he went directly to Xia Xueer's ward in the inpatient department.
"Jingzhou, you finally came to see me!"
Xia Xueer was lying on the hospital bed playing with her cell phone. When she saw Gu Jingzhou suddenly coming, she slowly sat up with a look of surprise.
"You've been the president's secretary for three days, and you're now admitted to the hospital. It seems you're not qualified for this job." Gu Jingzhou didn't want to play along with Xia Xueer, so he spoke in a businesslike manner with a cold face.
Xia Xueer's smile, which had just bloomed, suddenly froze in embarrassment.
Then, it converged visibly to the naked eye.
"Gu Jingzhou, the reason I was admitted to the hospital after only three days as a secretary was all thanks to you, wasn't it? I didn't even bother with you, yet you actually bothered with me? Do you still have any conscience?"
"Are you worthy of me talking to you about conscience? He Bin, play the things you just recorded for her to listen to!"
"Yes, Mr. Gu!"
He Bin then played to Xia Xueer the recording of what Manli and Sun Shaokai had said in the club's private room.
Xia Xueer's face changed when she heard this.
Gu Jingzhou looked down at her with a cold glance, "Xia Xueer, you no longer have the leverage to negotiate with me. Please take care of yourself in the future and don't appear in front of me again."
"Also, hand over the remaining ten photos, otherwise, I will completely disqualify you from marrying into any wealthy family in Haicheng."
"He Bin, go to the Xia family and take care of the photo issue!"
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
"Jing Zhou, listen to me. That night with Sun Shaokai, I was the victim. He took advantage of me when I was drunk! For so many years, I have always loved you in my heart, and I have always been chaste for you. Believe me!"
Xia Xueer was stunned for a moment before she reacted and immediately explained to Gu Jingzhou anxiously.
Gu Jingzhou looked indifferent.
"You don't need to explain so much to me, because I'm not interested in knowing. I'll cover your hospitalization expenses this time. Also, I'll have the company's finance department pay you one month's salary tomorrow. From now on, we'll be even!"
After saying this coldly, Gu Jingzhou turned and left the ward.
"Jingzhou, Gu Jingzhou--" Xia Xueer's face turned pale and she screamed behind him.
After leaving the inpatient department, Gu Jingzhou went to the emergency room.
Two more patients came into the emergency room. He walked in silently and had to sit on an empty chair next to him and wait for Su Xiaoxiao to finish her work.
He came last night and came again tonight. Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him with some displeasure and ignored him.
Gu Jingzhou waited patiently for over half an hour until all the patients left. He then stood up and walked over to her, asking with concern, "Are you so busy tonight?"
"Yes, so don't bother me!" Su Xiaoxiao answered rudely.
"Su Xiaoxiao, no matter how you treat me, I will never give up on you. So, don't think that if you talk to me like this, I will change my mind."
"Are you a masochist?"
"If loving the person you love is called masochism, then if you say I am a masochist, then I am a masochist." Gu Jingzhou replied stubbornly and calmly.
"You're so stubborn. I really can't stand you!" Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Fortunately, a patient finished the examination and came to her with the report to continue the consultation.
Gu Jingzhou sat back in his original seat and didn't talk about this topic with her anymore.
After seeing the patient, Su Xiaoxiao immediately raised her eyes and said, "Gu Jingzhou, I'm at work. The emergency department isn't the place to talk about personal matters. Don't come here to see me in the future!"
"Okay, I didn't come here specifically to see you today. I just happened to be passing by. Now that I've seen you and let you know my feelings, I'm leaving."
"By the way, I ordered some midnight snacks for you. They will be delivered to you shortly. Remember to eat them while they are hot."
Gu Jingzhou didn't insist any further this time.
He said this in a calm tone, then raised the corners of his lips, gave Su Xiaoxiao a warm smile and left.
Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised that he was so straightforward all of a sudden.
However, she had no time to think about it, as two other patients came to her with their examination reports to continue their consultation.
This night shift was another busy and fulfilling one.
Xia Xueer stayed in the VIP ward that night, feeling anxious and restless.
After Gu Jingzhou left, He Bin forced her to tell him where the ten photos were kept in her house.
Then she asked her to contact the maid at home immediately and said that she had asked a colleague to go to her house to get some important company information.
He Bin then went to her house and successfully found the indecent photos of Gu Jingzhou and Manli in her room.
From then on, she no longer had any evidence against Gu Jingzhou.
Moreover, he was misunderstood and hated by Gu Jingzhou.
The years of relationship and the dream of becoming the wife of a wealthy president were all shattered, as was the one million yuan spent on buying photos, and this fragile and tattered body.
In one night, it’s worse than returning to the starting point.
Xia Xueer was frustrated, angry, and unwilling.
She secretly swore in her heart that when she recovered and was discharged from the hospital, she would make those who had wronged her pay the price.
However, her gastric perforation this time was quite serious and she would probably need to be hospitalized for two to three weeks.
Now there is only one week left until the Spring Festival, which means she will have to spend this Spring Festival in the hospital bed.
This was the first time for Xia Xueer in her life.
**
Su Xiaoxiao was busy all night, seeing one group of patients after another. When she was about to get off work in the morning, Director Chen from the emergency department called her to his office.
He asked kindly and respectfully, "Doctor Su, our department is about to start scheduling shifts for the Spring Festival. Please check which days are inconvenient for you so I can stagger your shifts."
"Thank you, Director. I don't have anything special to do during the Chinese New Year holiday, so please schedule it for me as normal."
"Okay, then I understand."
"Oh, Director, last year the department took care of me and didn't arrange for me to be on duty on New Year's Eve. Please schedule it for me this year. I'll work the night shift on New Year's Eve."
"Oh, you are going to work the night shift on New Year's Eve?" Director Chen was suddenly surprised.
He had never seen such a simple and honest hospital owner who was not afraid of losing out. "If Director Ji knew about this, I'm afraid he would blame me, the department director, right?"
"Haha, don't worry, Director. He respects my work and won't interfere."
"Oh, that's fine. Thank you for your help, Doctor Su. I'll arrange for you to work the night shift on New Year's Eve!"
"Okay, you're welcome, Director. Thank you."
One of the reasons why Su Xiaoxiao volunteered to be on duty on New Year's Eve this year was because Gu Jingzhou interfered with the matter without asking for her opinion last year.
He didn't want her to stay in the hospital that night, but wanted her to stay at Gu's house and spend the night with him.
She also wanted to live with him, but she didn't like him, as a person in a high position, to interfere in these trivial matters in her work without authorization.
She doesn't have autonomy over small matters, so how can she have autonomy over big matters?
So the reason they would go their separate ways had already been decided in many details over the past few years.
It's just that she didn't want to see it clearly at that time.
This year is her second year in the emergency department. She has no reason to let other colleagues be on duty on New Year's Eve every year while she is always exempted.
She didn't like being made an exception like this.
What's more, this hospital is hers now, and she feels that she should have a stronger sense of ownership.
She also believed that Ji Xingyuan would understand.
