Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 692: Not Planning to Pack Up and Leave
At the fire brigade, Jiang Ye took the call and then drove away from the fire station.
The whole day was busy with no news.
However, around noon, before the end of the workday, Aunt Li appeared at the door, holding a lunchbox that looked very familiar.
Lu Jing happened to notice Aunt Li since there were no patients in the clinic at the moment:
"Aunt Li?"
"Is the Young Madam done with her tasks?"
Rising from the chair:
"I wasn’t busy this morning, Aunt Li, come on in."
"Eh, alright, alright, you sit, Young Madam, I’ll take care of it."
Luckily, the intern had gone out; otherwise, just hearing Aunt Li’s address would probably have them staring wide-eyed.
Lu Jing couldn’t help but smile and said:
"Aunt Li, just call me Xiao Lu, please don’t call me Young Madam; it doesn’t sound good to others while I’m working."
With so many prying eyes, it would be troublesome if something got out.
Aunt Li wasn’t someone living in isolation; she was quite familiar with the internet these days.
"Okay, Xiao Lu."
Being over thirty years her senior, it wasn’t excessive for her to call her Xiao Lu.
The meal had been specially made by the hotel, and it was complete with color, fragrance, and flavor, even prepared by a nutritionist.
Checking the time, it was time to finish up work.
"Aunt Li, just put it here."
"Eh, okay."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I have."
That’s good.
Otherwise, it would be rude to eat alone while having someone watch.
Lu Jing had thought about asking Aunt Li to leave, but she knew Aunt Li wouldn’t listen to her; she only followed certain people’s instructions.
Sigh.
Fortunately, as medical personnel, she had long trained to eat quickly.
Soon, she had almost finished eating.
While Aunt Li was clearing the table, Lu Jing’s phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Jing’er, are you at work?"
From the tone of the voice on the phone, it sounded like the person had just woken up.
Truly envious!
"What else?" she said, amused.
Li Wu cleared her throat:
"Then I’ll come find you after I’m done with my things."
It had been a long time since the two had seen each other; last time in Jing City, they only quickly grabbed a coffee.
No, they didn’t even finish a cup of coffee before parting ways.
"You’re coming to the clinic to find me?"
"Yeah, is that not okay?"
"There’s no problem with that, I’m at the outpatient department now, just come straight here when you arrive."
"Ok!"
"I’ll hang up first."
"Alright."
....
Li Wu tidied up at the hotel and even called the front desk to order a steak. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
After eating, she dusted off her hands and left.
The rest would be taken care of by the hotel staff.
But just as she left, Jiang Huai arrived.
It was the same manager from yesterday who greeted him as he saw his boss enter alone, quickly approaching:
"Mr. Jiang!"
"Hm," he nodded.
His mind was elsewhere, and it was clearly visible on his face.
The manager wasn’t blind and could see the situation very clearly:
"Mr. Jiang, are you here to see Miss Li?" he asked.
Only then did Jiang Huai shift his gaze to the person in front of him:
"Correct."
The manager felt a bit uneasy, but still spoke up:
"Well, Miss Li has already left."
Sss~
She left?
Jiang Huai paused on the spot, then spoke again, his gaze sharpening:
"When did she leave?" he questioned.
The manager wanted to wipe his sweat, but under his boss’s unadorned stare, he didn’t dare to move:
"About five minutes ago."
The person just left, and then you, the boss, came.
He didn’t dare say this out loud, after all, he wasn’t ready to pack up and leave just yet.
Hearing that the person had left, Jiang Huai could only sigh in silence:
"Bring this quarter’s report to my office."
Huh?
"Yes, Mr. Jiang!"
