My Youth Began With Him (Web Novel)
chapter-278

At this crucial moment, Huo Mian's phone rang. What a bad time...

Qin Chu's movements stopped...

"Uh… I got a call," said Huo Mian, a bit awkwardly.

Qin Chu lightly sighed, stood up, and passed the phone that was resting on the coffee table to Huo Mian.

It was from Jing Zhixin...

"Zhixin?"

"Sis, did you get home yet?"

"Mhm, I did. What's up?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you to not worry. I won't tell mom. Even if you didn't tell me, I would've guessed. After you broke up with Ning Zhiyuan, he called me twice. I had a feeling that it was because of Qin Chu, and I became even more sure about it when his company gave me a car last time."

"Sorry, Zhixin. I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"I know, Sis. It's okay. I'm not blaming you, I just don't want you to be emotionally burdened. I'm different from Mom in that I support you in your pursuit of happiness. As your brother, I'll always unconditionally support your decisions as long as you are happy."

"Thank you, Zhixin."

"Don't say thanks to me. If anything, you are the one I should be thanking. Thank you for taking caring of this home, and caring for me and Mom for all these years.

"Zhixin, about your female classmate..."

"She's not my girlfriend, Sis. She does feel that way towards me, but I don't like her, because she only started approaching me after I got the sports car. I know what she wants."

"It's good that you are still rational. Also, you're still young, relationships aren't stable at your age and you have to face employment issues later on. Things are not so simple."

"I know, Sis."

"That's good, you should go to sleep."

"Mhm, thank Brother Qin Chu for me, the car is really awesome."

After speaking, Jing Zhixin hung up the phone...

Huo Mian held the phone and looked at Qin Chu in embarrassment, "Zhixin told me to thank you for the car."

"And this is how he pays me back, calling you at a critical time like this? He must have too much time on his hands." Qin Chu really wanted to ask Jing Zhixin to drive the car back, that ungrateful little d*ck ruining Qin Chu's critical business.

"Ahem…" Huo Mian dry coughed.

Although the time was ripe, Jing Zhixin messed everything up.

Qin Chu went upstairs to shower, and he got a call from his father after he got out, talking about a new project for the company.

Huo Mian waited for a long time but fell asleep before he returned.

The next day, she was called to the conference room for a meeting right as she got to the hospital.

She originally thought that it was a normal employee meeting, but she later discovered that there was an abnormal number of people present.

They were all hospital executives, and the person sitting in the middle of the room was actually Director Wu.

"Huo Mian's here, sit," Director Wu greeted Huo Mian.

That made the head nurses from other departments envious and jealous.

"How has work been lately?"

"Great, thank you for asking."

"Xiaoxue is recovering really well. I'd like to thank you again on behalf of my entire family."

"You don't have to, Director Wu, I would've done it for anyone." Director Wu thanked her in front of all those people, making Huo Mian very uncomfortable since she was never a show-off.

"Everyone, don't be shy. The main goal of this meeting is to talk about improvements. If you have any ideas, feel free to make suggestions. We promote innovation because if we can't keep up with the steps of time, we'll be out of the game sooner or later."

"That's all, let's begin now. Everyone, feel free to speak," Director Wu's assistant spoke into the mic and announced the official beginning of the meeting.

"Director Wu, I would like to make a suggestion."

"Alright, go ahead." Director Wu was pleased with Huo Mian's initiation.

"Um... Can the medical staff get new uniforms? The dresses are a bit too short." After Huo Mian spoke, everybody shot her strange looks.

Even Director Wu was stunned momentarily…
