Chapter 17 Meeting an acquaintance
During the lunch break, Zhang Ning brought lunch, and Han Yunduo ordered takeout. The two of them came up from downstairs and headed towards the tea room.
Su Muchen came out of the office at this time and walked towards him.
Han Yunduo was afraid of him and did not dare to speak proactively.
Gu Fanxing asked politely: "Mr. Su, are you going to the restaurant for dinner?"
"Yes." He responded lightly, glanced at the lunch bag in her hand, and said, "Eat more for lunch."
"And you." After he finished speaking, he said something to Han Yunduo.
They both agreed and then entered the tea room.
"Sister Gu, are Mr. Su okay?" Han Yunduo asked in surprise, "He actually asked us to eat more. Why does he care about us?"
Gu Fanxing took out the lunch box and said with a smile: "I feel like he just said it casually, so don't take it seriously."
"However, when Mr. Su said this to us, it seems that he is quite humane, unlike at work, where he is not at all humane." Han Yunduo complained.
Gu Fanxing felt that what she said was correct and echoed: "Well, I think so too."
Open the lunch box, the food is delicious.
Zhang Ning brought her pastoral stir-fry, braised chicken legs, minced eggplant and a small cup of pig's feet soup for her at noon today.
There are also two supplements - one given to her by her previous mother-in-law, and one bought by herself.
Han Yunduo looked at the delicious food, and instantly felt that the spicy rice noodles in front of her were not fragrant.
Gu Fanxing was not stingy either. He served a small bowl of soup for her to drink and picked out a few pieces of pork trotters to put in it.
"Sister Gu, can I eat my sister's cooking with you? Bring me a portion for lunch and I'll pay for the food."
Gu Fanxing said: "If you like to eat, just eat with me. I might not come on vacation someday, so why should I pay for the food?"
"Yes, I forgot." Han Yunduo said pitifully: "We work together and eat together. I forgot that you have to take a vacation."
"Eat quickly. You can join your new colleagues then."
"Then I hope the new colleague is someone easy to get along with, as nice as you."
The two of them chatted while eating.
Gu Fanxing said: "After get off work tonight, let's go to the hospital to visit Secretary Xu. I originally wanted to go yesterday."
"Okay. Although Secretary Xu is cold-tempered, he is okay with me. Unlike those two nasty guys who know how to bully me, Mr. Su opened his eyes and fired them all." Han Yunduo said happily.
"Then buy some fruits and flowers after get off work and go over to have a look."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Before leaving get off work, Gu Fanxing went to the office to deliver documents and told Su Muchen about visiting Secretary Xu in the evening.
Su Muchen nodded in agreement, "Go ahead and come back early."
"knew."
Soon, when it was time to get off work, Gu Fanxing and Han Yunduo took a taxi to Marian Hospital, the best private hospital in the city.
I found the ward and pushed open the door. Secretary Xu was leaning back on the bed, with his arms and legs hanging up, and gauze still wrapped around his head. The swelling at the corners of his mouth had not subsided. It looked quite scary.
Seeing colleagues coming, Secretary Xu's family warmly welcomed them. Secretary Xu had a cold temperament, and he was even less talkative at this time. Listening to their comfort, he only made occasional noises from his nose.
After staying for about ten minutes, Gu Fanxing saw that he had finished talking about everything he could, and hurriedly said goodbye before the awkward silence. The Xu family sent them out of the ward.
When walking towards the elevator, Han Yunduo said: "Secretary Xu is seriously injured. He is really destined to die."
"Yes, you have to take care of her." Gu Fanxing put a heavy hand on her shoulder, "So, the future responsibilities of the General Secretary's Office will all depend on you!"
"I don't want it!" Han Yunduo wailed, "Isn't there still you? There are also newcomers. I can't take on the big responsibility."
Gu Fanxing saw her yelling and laughing happily.
Suddenly, WeChat came on the phone in her hand. She clicked on it and looked: Why are you smiling so happily?
She was startled, raised her head and looked around, and sure enough, she saw Zheng Wenhao with a smile on his face at the door of the doctor's office.
At this time the elevator came, and she said to Han Yunduo: "I saw an acquaintance, please go first, bye."
She turned around and walked towards Zheng Wenhao. When she got closer, she smiled brightly and said, "Brother Wenhao, it's been a long time."
Zheng Wenhao, an old neighbor of Gu Fanxing's family. They grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. He is four years older than her and he is like an older brother.
"Visiting patients?" He looked at the neighbor sister with doting eyes. He hadn't seen her for many days and he still missed her.
"Well, a colleague got into a car accident and came over to visit."
"I heard from my mother that you have moved out. Is it true?"
Gu Fanxing said "Oh", "Mom is still in the hospital now. I get off work late every day, and my house is empty when I come back. So I just moved to the staff dormitory. It's a bit popular."
"How's Aunt Ping doing lately?" He asked with concern, "The hospital has been very busy recently. I went out to study for half a month and didn't have time to contact you."
Gu Fanxing said: "It's still the same."
She didn't dare to tell him her affairs. It would be useless and would only cause him trouble.
Zheng Wenhao's family has always been very kind to her, and they have given them a lot of help when they were orphans and widowers. She will not forget this kindness and will return it in the future.
"I have been looking for information about Aunt Ping's condition. Don't worry, there will always be a solution." Zheng Wenhao comforted her.
A warm current surged through Gu Fanxing's heart, "Thank you, Brother Wenhao. You are so busy, so you should put your own affairs first."
"What are you talking about? Aunt Ping is so kind to me, how can I ignore her?" Zheng Wenhao rubbed her head and asked: "You haven't had dinner yet? Come on, brother will take you to dinner."
"Aren't you going to work?"
"It's already time to get off work, I just didn't leave." He said, "Give me five minutes and I'll change clothes."
Gu Fanxing was waiting for him on the sofa outside and sent Su Muchen a WeChat message: Mr. Su, I met a friend in the hospital and will go back after dinner.
After the message was sent, he never received a reply. Gu Fanxing didn't think much and followed Zheng Wenhao out and took the elevator down.
Zheng Wenhao drove her to a private restaurant. It had two floors and was decorated in a primitive style.
The two chose a seat on the first floor, the waiter brought tea, and then went down.
"Is it a blind box restaurant?" Gu Fanxing looked around and thought it was pretty good.
Zheng Wenhao said: "I have been here several times before, and I think the taste here is what you like."
"So sure?" Gu Fanxing poured tea and asked with a naughty smile.
Zheng Wenhao was full of confidence, "Don't forget, I have fed you since you were a child, and I still don't know what your taste is? It's a joke!"
Gu Fanxing's face showed a touch of warmth when she thought of what happened when she was a child. Although her parents always fought at that time, when they did, she would run to Zheng Wenhao's house and stay at his house to eat and sleep. I don't blame him for saying that.
