Chapter 91: His liver hurts!

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

Zhang Fan and Wang Yanan both finished their rotation in orthopedic department #2. Ever since Wang Yanan had successfully completed her first ever surgery, she had been in really high spirits. She didn’t want to ever be rotated into an internal medicine department again, so she made her uncle, the head of Chasu City’s Bureau of Health, talk to Superintendent Ouyang and get her directly assigned back to orthopedic department #1.

Since Zhang Fan didn’t have a powerful uncle like Wang Yanan, he could only continue his rotations. When he received his paperwork from the hospital administration department, he saw that he had been assigned to the dermatology department. He was happy with this as he could still perform surgeries here. Right now, Zhang Fan’s most important goal was to continue leveling his system.

Once again, the hospital gave all the rotation doctors three days of vacation. Li Hui finally appeared again after not having bothered Zhang Fan for so long. He appeared to be quite proud of himself. Zhang Fan was somewhat mystified as he recalled how Li Hui had sworn to “conquer” the female doctor Wang Hong within a month.

‘No way, could it be that I was wrong? Wang Hong was so easily scammed by such a bastard?’ Zhang Fan thought to himself.

“How are things? Did you manage to conquer Wang Hong like you claimed?” Zhang Fan inquired.

“Almost, I’m almost about to succeed!” claimed Li Hui shamelessly. He wasn’t even close, actually. In fact, he had made zero romantic progress whatsoever with Wang Hong. She was treating him as nothing more than someone who was willing to perform heavy labor for free for her sake. Wang Hong intended to establish a young doctors club, and applied for an empty room from the hospital. The hospital gave her an old, abandoned warehouse that she could use for her proposed club activities. However, this warehouse was filled with all sorts of random rubbish that needed to be cleaned out first. Thus, Li Hui had been dragged over to help Wang Hong clean up the warehouse after work every day recently.

“Really?” Zhang Fan was rather doubtful of Li Hui’s claim.

“Of course! It’s only natural because I’m a grandmaster at these things! In the past month, Wang Hong’s been voluntarily contacting me every day after work!” This was technically true, but Li Hui was gritting his teeth as he said it.

“So you’re here to brag to me?”

“No, that’s not it. Since I’ve helped Wang Hong with a little something over the past few days, she’s insisting on treating me to a meal. However, the restaurant is a little far from the hospital. It’s N Restaurant in the suburbs. I figured that you would have nothing to do on this little vacation, so you should come along as well.”

“I’m not going. I’m busy.”

“Just come with me! Are you going to just watch as I lose Wang Hong!?” Li Hui’s strength was that he could be incredibly shameless!

“What does it have to do with me? If you want to go, just go. Stop acting like a hoodlum here. I refuse to go.”

“Don’t you have a car? It’s so embarrassing for me to show up by taking a taxi. If you don’t go, I really won’t have a chance with her! There are several other doctors pursuing Wang Hong! We’re bros, aren’t we!? Bro!” Li Hui had almost ripped Zhang Fan’s sleeve with how hard he was tugging on the latter’s shirt.

“Sigh! But she’s treating you to a meal, so why would I invite myself?”

“She’s treating many young doctors from our hospital. Just come, we’re all coworkers.”

In the end, Zhang Fan was unable to refuse due to how shamelessly Li Hui was acting. N Restaurant in the suburbs wasn’t actually that far by car. Li Hui made a call to Wang Hong as Zhang Fan drove towards the restaurant. Li Hui wanted Zhang Fan to go and pick Wang Hong up, but then learned that she had left for the restaurant already.

“It’s all your fault, being so slow! She’s left for the restaurant already!”

“Okay, so I’ll just go back to my place, then?” Zhang Fan was quite displeased. He felt that the thing known as Li Hui was so troublesome.

“Bro, I’m the one in the wrong!”

Wang Hong had picked a really nice restaurant with a great environment. There was a small pond and garden in front of N Restaurant, with some nice green trees. Several doctors had already arrived before Zhang Fan and Li Hui. They were currently playing poker at a table under the trees’ shade.

After greeting the other young doctors, Zhang Fan simply stood by the side and watched them play cards. Meanwhile, Li Hui looked around everywhere for Wang Hong. After being unable to find her, he nudged one of the doctors who arrived before him, and asked, “Where’s Wang Hong? Didn’t she arrive yet?”

“I heard that she went to some place nearby to obtain some fish for everyone.”

Li Hui wasn’t familiar with the suburbs of Chasu City. Otherwise, he really would have shamelessly chased after Wang Hong.

Not long after, Wang Hong arrived, stepping out of the passenger side of a black Buick. Li Hui was just about to step forward to receive her when he saw a young man only slightly older than he was step out from the driver’s side.

This young man took out a large black plastic bag from the Buick’s trunk, and then walked towards everyone while holding Wang Hong’s hand with his other hand. Li Hui felt like he was seeing nothing but black. He might have even fainted if it weren’t for the fact that he was leaning against a tree.

Li Hui had worked quite hard for an entire month, cleaning the warehouse, due to Wang Hong acting ambiguously with him and making him feel like he had a chance. Li Hui had even spent a great deal of time on sprucing up his appearance today. He was wearing a suit and tie, had sprayed cologne on himself, and even waxed his hair. Li Hui had prepared himself to make a love confession in front of everyone today. He even planned out all the words in the confession already as he dreamed about how he would succeed in obtaining his love in public.

“He’s probably her cousin or something, right?” Li Hui said in an unwilling tone as he asked Zhang Fan. Meanwhile, Zhang Fan was actually enjoying Li Hui’s troubles. Zhang Fan felt that a thing like Li Hui couldn’t be pitied one bit in matters of romance.

“Have you ever seen cousins behaving so intimately with each other? Anyone who’s not an idiot should be able to tell that they’re a couple.” Zhang Fan didn’t hold back one bit with his words.

“Hello and welcome, everyone. Allow me to introduce my boyfriend Chen Zerui to everyone. He’s a member of Chasu City Communist Party Committee. There’s too many people here for me to introduce everyone to him, so I’ll let everyone get acquainted with him as we eat together.” Wang Hong had a big smile as she introduced her boyfriend to everyone.

“So he’s not her cousin after all!” Li Hui was in a bit of a daze.

Zhang Fan ignored him. Meanwhile, Wang Hong’s boyfriend, Chen Zerui, spoke up. “Everyone here is an expert doctor from Chasu City Hospital. I’m the only one who doesn’t know anything about medicine, which makes me quite nervous. I’m treating everyone to some Russian coldwater fish today to help me get acquainted with everyone.” Chen Zerui was quite a skilled speaker who spoke very politely.

“No need to be so polite with us. Wang Hong is truly fortunate. Brother Chen, let me help hold the fish for you. We’re all truly fortunate today as this fish can’t be bought even with money. Brother Chen is truly so skilled,” a doctor said. He was probably acquainted or even good friends with Chen Zerui already.

“Not at all. These fish were simply a gift from a friend.”

“What are you going to say for yourself? You dressed yourself up like a fancy flower, but she’s completely ignoring you. You dare to claim that you can conquer her within one month? Haven’t you done nothing but embarrass yourself?” Zhang Fan took advantage of the situation to make fun of Li Hui.

“Get the hell out! I don’t want to talk to you right now.” Li Hui was in a rather foul mood. He had finally realized that Wang Hong had taken advantage of him for an entire month, making him do so much work for her. He could only feel that he had truly been an idiot indeed as he had done all of the work voluntarily, chasing after Wang Hong everywhere.

Wang Hong and Chen Zerui had gotten acquainted with each other recently at a Chasu City Communist Party Committee meeting. Their relationship progressed quite rapidly as they were both romantically interested in each other. Wang Hong also felt that Li Hui and the other doctors pursuing her were useless to her now as the warehouse she received for the clubroom had finally been cleaned up. Thus, Wang Hong was using today to nominally thank the doctors and treat them all to a meal, but actually also to let all the doctors know that she was already taken.

Having Chen Zerui come here to meet everyone was to make things irrefutable so that all the doctors could understand the situation without a doubt. This would mean that the doctors could no longer pursue her, and would have to behave around her.

No matter what type of person Li Hui was, this was quite a severe slap in the face to him. Not only had his feelings been scammed, he also felt that his intelligence was being looked down upon! For once, Li Hui didn’t drink a single drop of alcohol today. He needed no convincing from Zhang Fan on this. It was because he didn’t want to embarrass himself any further. Li Hui ate nothing but the most expensive food here as Wang Hong was treating them.

Zhang Fan figured that this would deal a severe blow to Li Hui that might even make the latter slightly more mature.

‘Hahaha! He actually tried to dream that Chen Zerui was only Wang Hong’s cousin!’ Zhang Fan couldn’t help but constantly laugh as he recalled this.

Chen Zerui was quite an eloquent speaker as he went around making conversation with the doctors. He was even better with words than Wang Hong was. He didn’t ignore anyone, and whenever someone else spoke, he appeared to be really attentive, making the speaker feel like he really valued their words.

“Do you see that? Compared to him, we’re nothing but children!” Zhang Fan whispered to Li Hui, who didn’t respond. It was quite obvious that not only was Chen Zerui generous with his money, he was truly skilled.

Zhang Fan’s next words made Li Hui so angry that even his liver hurt. “I told you before that only women who are silly and sweet are suitable for you, but you refused to believe me!”

If it weren’t for there being many people around, Li Hui really would have wanted to smash his plate of food into Zhang Fan’s face. It was so rude to insult someone directly to the face like this in China. How could Zhang Fan just insult him like that?
