Chapter 439 You still can’t lose your identity as a poet!

What Cao Zhiqiang just said to Lu Xiaowei was actually just a sigh of relief. He said it casually without expecting to get any answers.

But who knew, Lu Xiaowei instead said seriously: "Is this it? I probably know some of the reasons."

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned: "Well, you know? What's going on?"

Lu Xiaowei sighed: "Every family has its own problems. Although Director Liao has excellent medical skills, his family situation is said to be not very good."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly stopped feeling sleepy, sat up straight and said, "Come on, tell me in detail!"

Lu Xiaowei frowned and said, "Actually, I don't know much. I only heard from my colleagues."

After a brief pause, Lu Xiaowei continued: "I heard that Director Liao's current wife is the daughter of a senior leader. It is said that Director Liao was able to be transferred here thanks to his wife's family connections.

Then, I also heard that before he married this wife, Director Liao had already been married to someone else. They were still classmates, and they had a very good relationship.

It was said before that it was Director Liao who abandoned his original wife and married the daughter of the current leader for the sake of his own future.

But there is another theory that Director Liao's current wife fought for love, used coercion and inducement to forcefully separate Director Liao from his ex-wife, and then forced Director Liao to marry him.

And in order to avoid disconnection, Director Liao was sent here.

Also, Director Liao's wife has a very bad temper and is very suspicious. Whenever a single woman approaches Director Liao, she will question Director Liao and even come to the hospital, trying every possible means to transfer the woman away. Even if she cannot be transferred out of the hospital, she will

You can’t be in the same department as Director Liao."

"So that's it." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

But soon, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Lu Xiaowei suspiciously: "Then why are you okay?"

"Me?" Lu Xiaowei smiled bitterly, "Because, because I have a partner, I am not single."

"Ah, it turns out you have someone." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Isn't it the male doctor from before?"

"Yes." Lu Xiaowei continued to smile bitterly, "His name is Gao Bo, he is from my hometown, and then, then..."

"What happened next?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Lu Xiaowei sighed and lowered her head: "Actually, I don't like him, but he has been chasing me since college. Then, during my internship, I was transferred to the emergency room with Gao Bo. At first, it was okay, but later I heard

After telling the legend about Director Liao, in order to continue learning from Director Liao, I agreed to Gao Bo's request and became a couple with him."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiaowei raised her head and said: "But we are just on the surface, just for people to see. I, I actually..."

"You don't need to explain this to me." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, then spit out his alcohol and said, "Dr. Lu, actually I think Dr. Gao is okay, he is quite tall and handsome, and if you don't tell me, he is the same as you.

Fellow countryman, I have been chasing you.

In my opinion, you two are quite a match, so why not just fake it and make it real."

"Impossible!" Lu Xiaowei shook her head and frowned, "I don't like him at all. I get annoyed when I see him. How can I be with him?"

After a short pause, Lu Xiaowei said: "I made an agreement with Gao Bo, we just pretend to be a couple in front of others, so that Director Liao's wife won't be jealous.

When I really succeed in my studies, Director Liao promised to find a way to transfer me to another department. By then, I won't have to continue pretending with Gao Bo."

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned: "Why are you being transferred instead of Director Liao?"

Lu Xiaowei said: "Because Director Liao doesn't want to leave the emergency room. He likes the emergency room and the feeling of saving lives and helping the wounded. And then..."

"What else?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Lu Xiaowei sighed and said: "Furthermore, the emergency room is very busy, and most of the time is devoted to this. Therefore, when Director Liao is in the emergency room, he can go home less and see his wife less."

"Ah, that's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "It seems that Director Liao's married life is not very harmonious."

"Yes." Lu Xiaowei also sighed.

"Director Liao occasionally talked to me the other day, saying that when you are looking for a partner, you must not seek fame or fortune. That is not important. The key is whether you can control your temper, whether you can see the right eye, and whether you can understand your heart and soul.

If you don’t like it and just force yourself to be together for external things like fame and wealth, you will only be asking for trouble in the end.”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaowei raised her head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "Dr. Gao Bo may be very good, but I have no feelings for him at all. Therefore, it is impossible for us. If we force ourselves to be together, we will not be happy in the future."

"It makes sense." Cao Zhiqiang nodded and rubbed his temples with both hands, "But why are you telling me this?"

Lu Xiaowei was stunned, looked at Cao Zhiqiang carefully, and then quickly turned away: "I, I don't know, maybe, maybe I drank too much."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaowei's originally pink cheeks turned a little red again.

Cao Zhiqiang exhaled and nodded: "I understand, you should be burying these words in your heart for a long time, and you can't find anyone to say it. Then when you meet me, an outsider, you feel that it doesn't matter even if you say it, so you can't help it.

Say it, right?"

Lu Xiaowei thought for a while, then nodded: "Maybe."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Wait a minute, if you dislike Dr. Gao so much, don't you already have a sweetheart?"

Lu Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and nodded again: "That's right, but he... forget it, don't mention it, it's impossible for us."

Cao Zhiqiang glanced at Lu Xiaowei and did not ask why it was impossible.

After smiling slightly, Cao Zhiqiang said: "By the way, are you full? If not, can I give you something else?"

"No, no, no." Lu Xiaowei shook her hand quickly, "That's enough, that's enough, I'm full."

"Are you really full?" Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "Doctor Lu, don't be polite to me. You ate some steak before and almost didn't eat anything else. Are you sure you can eat enough just by eating steak?"

"This..." Lu Xiaowei chuckled, "It's a bit not enough."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Then what are you waiting for? Keep eating. Didn't you see that there are bread, toast, fried foie gras, lettuce salad, mushroom soup and so on on the table? I just went to drink wine before and didn't eat much food.

, the food is a bit cold, do you want someone to heat it up for you?"

"No, no, no." Lu Xiaowei waved her hand, "This is good, it's already very good. Just eat it like this."

Cao Zhiqiang laughed and waved his hand: "Then let's eat. We'll talk about it when we're full."

After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang stopped using a knife and fork, picked up a piece of French toast, and took a big bite.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang's heroic action, Lu Xiaowei smiled, but still didn't take action and continued to pour tea and eat.

After eating for a while, Cao Zhiqiang put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin: "Ah, I'm finally full. By the way, Dr. Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Xiaowei also quickly wiped her mouth with a napkin, and then said to Cao Zhiqiang: "I'm full, I've been full for a long time."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "That's good, but Dr. Lu, you also drank a lot, how about I open a room for you and stay here for one night?"

"No, no!" Lu Xiaowei waved her hands quickly, "I won't live there anymore. I'm different from Director Liao. It's better for me to go back to the hospital dormitory."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaowei looked at her watch: "Oh, it's getting late, I have to go back."

At this point, Lu Xiaowei stood up, but maybe she got up too quickly, or maybe she was drunk, so she couldn't stand still and swayed a bit.

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head and stood up: "Look at you, you're even unsteady when you walk. You might as well stay here."

"No, it really can't be done!" Lu Xiaowei said, "I have to go back, otherwise, otherwise..."

"What else would happen?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned.

Lu Xiaowei said: "Otherwise, if Director Liao stays here, I won't go back. This will easily spread gossip."

Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin: "That's true."

Then, Cao Zhiqiang put down his hand: "In that case, it's so late, I'll take you back."

"No, I can be alone." Lu Xiaowei waved her hand again.

"Hi!" Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "What are you talking about? It's so late at night. I'm worried about you being a girl walking at night. It just so happens that I'm also a little drunk and I've eaten a little too much. I want to walk to digest my food.

It’s just a way of giving it to you.”

Lu Xiaowei bit her lip and thought for a while: "Okay, thank you very much."

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "That's right. I should be the one to thank you. After all, you have helped me a lot, and I am forcing you to treat you to a meal. What is there to thank you for? Okay, let's not talk anymore.

Let’s go.”

After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang picked up his suit jacket, put it on his arm without putting it on, and invited Lu Xiaowei to go with him.

The reason why I didn't wear any clothes was because I was too hot after drinking alcohol and the smell of alcohol hadn't dissipated yet.

The two of them came to the front desk on the first floor. Just when Cao Zhiqiang was about to go to the front desk and ask the waiter for a taxi, Lu Xiaowei said: "Don't bother, didn't you say you need to digest food? Otherwise, let's walk back. Anyway,

It’s not too far.”

Cao Zhiqiang thought it right, so he didn't call for a taxi.

Then, the two of them walked out of the hotel gate and walked slowly side by side along the sidewalk.

It was already dark at this time, and because it was September, the weather was much cooler at night. It was neither cold nor hot, so walking on the road was quite comfortable.

Although the roads of this period could be considered the main roads of Jinling City, they were far from as good as those of later generations. Generally speaking, they were quite narrow, at least in Cao Zhiqiang's opinion.

Of course, although the road is not wide, there are not many cars, especially at night.

Because of this, walking here feels more like a pedestrian street.

Combined with the landscape trees on both sides, it’s actually quite interesting.

Unfortunately, Cao Zhiqiang and Dr. Lu are not very close, so there are relatively few topics.

Well, the main reason is that Cao Zhiqiang drank a little too much and was too lazy to talk, while Lu Xiaowei was a little shy and embarrassed to speak.
