Chapter 466 - "Would you like the recording? Yours for 1 million yuan." (1)

Half an hour later, Gu Shishi, who had finished washing up and dying to find out what was going on, had, nevertheless, slowly finished eating her nutritious breakfast under the in-person supervision from the calm Huo Sishen before she changed and was shoved into the car.

The weather was cold now so, every time she went go, she was ordered to have herself wrapped up securely.

A thick sweater along with a warm, long down coat sealed not only her stomach completely but even all the way below her knees!

Gone was Gu Shishi’s sense of style, destroyed by this straight man.

Luckily, she had stopped looking into the mirror. She’d just put on whatever he handed to her.

She decided that this was nothing compared to being able to eat melon in person!

“Whose melon are we going to be eating? Where are we going? Are you sure it’s a good idea for you to skip work and go melon-eating?”

Gu Shishi asked excitedly as soon as she had sat down on the car, unzipped the down coat, and loosened up her scarf.

Huo Sishen grabbed her little hand. Noticing that it was warm, he helped her out of the down coat.

“You will see when we get there.”

Gu Shishi’s eyes lit up and quickly nodded docilely.

Right, no hot melon if one’s impatient!*

Right then and there, she pulled out her cellphone from her purse, clicked open an audio app, and continued listening to the Book of Poetry that she had gotten half way through the night before.

She quietly committed the good words and phrases to memory as she listened.

Huo Sishen would not let her read any paper or e-books in the car. He said that was bad for her eyes.

She relied on audio medium to kill time nowadays. As she looked outside of the window, whenever she noticed a good scenery, or the highway interchanges that looked like dragons and clouds mingling together, she would bring up her cellphone and take a picture of them.

Everything could be inspiring.

Everything provided her with learning materials.

It wasn’t entirely a waste of her time.

Noticing that she was perfectly fine entertaining herself, Huo Sishen put on his Bluetooth earpiece and started listening to his assistants reporting to him the progress of today’s work.

Siyi, sitting in the front, looked at the interaction between the two of them through the rearview mirror. There was even respect from a macho man after devouring the dog food.

An outstanding woman was a good match for an elite man.

Even though they were on their way to melon-eating, neither one of them slacked on studying and working on their way!

See? That’s the difference between individuals!

How come he, Siyi, could only be an assistant and not the boss? Was it because of his family background? No! It’s a matter of attitude!

Tsk!

Siyi pulled out his cellphone silently and pondered over whether he should download some planning software and improve himself some.

“Eh? Isn’t this the way to Dr. Qin’s clinic?

After the car had gotten off the highway half way through and got onto the less-travelled remote paths, she finally slowly recognized the way.

Sure enough, the car pulled over in front of a private clinic shortly.

Huo Sishen got out and helped her out of the car. They went in through a small side door and into the building for special-need patients.

Qin Ruhai’s private clinic was well known within their circle.

Every single corner, the disinfection of equipment, medical staff, thoroughness of patient’s examination, control on the spread of viruses… all of them meticulous to a point of obsession

There were many rich people in the circle and many of them very demanding.

The patient room here run from the lowest of 20,000 yuan a week to the best suite at 20,000 yuan a night.

Before bringing her inside of the room, Huo Sishen first had Gu Shishi disinfected her hands and put on a surgical mask.

After he had finished examining her and decided that everything was properly in place, he brought her into a special-need room on a specific floor.

He didn’t say anything on their way nor did she ask. She waited cooperative for the drama to reveal itself.

Sure enough, she was not disappointed when the door opened up.

Translator's notes:

A play on the saying “no hot tofu if one’s impatient.” Honestly, I don’t get it. I’d think one could just pop a piece of hot tofu in one’s mouth IF one’s impatience. The best I could find out was that when tofu was just made, it was VERY hot in the center, even if the outside was already at a reasonable temperature (for consuming). So one had to wait longer or break it apart in order to eat it warm…. Still, odd saying. :/
