This Doctor Is Too Wealthy

Everyone turned their heads to see a chubby, short middle-aged woman standing at the door.

These women had always been curious how someone with her physique could produce such a somewhat shrill voice, but none of them dared to ask. Instead, they quickly shut their mouths and started walking out of the office.

As they passed by, they kept saying, ”Director Gao.”

”Director Gao, you’re back.”

The chubby woman nodded and walked into the office with a gloomy face. ”What happened?”

Cui Ying recounted the incident, then lowered her head, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly. ”Director, I’m sorry, I was impulsive again. I’ll go and apologize to the Dean right away.”

Gao Qin’s face darkened with anger.

She had just been outmaneuvered by Du Heng and was already feeling awful. She hadn’t expected this bitch to do such a thing again! She could already imagine how terrible Du Heng’s expression would be when he saw her later.

She was about to give this bitch a piece of her mind, but then she remembered the bitch’s shrew-like personality and the fact that this bitch was only two years younger than her. Gao Qin immediately closed her already open mouth.

”This incident happened because my management wasn’t strict enough. I’ll go with you to apologize to the Dean.”

After saying that, she walked out of the office with a dark face once again.

Du Heng had originally thought this matter, which he had only just begun to address, would be very troublesome. He never expected it to be resolved so easily.

At the same time, it also made him understand what they meant by ”three women make a drama,” and what ”scheming and plotting” truly entailed.

Gao Qin’s submissive words, Cui Ying’s sudden change in attitude, and Qiu Pingzhen’s subtle insinuations—all these made Du Heng realize just how terrifying women could be when dealing with each other.

But it didn’t matter. As long as they listened to him and were willing to help him improve the hospital, he wouldn’t ask a single question, even if they pulled each other’s hair out.

But if they caused trouble when it came to official business, he wouldn’t mind seeking advice from Wu Shengnan’s father.

Du Heng’s work was back on track, and Wu Shengnan was slowly getting back to work as well.

After work, Du Heng ended up waiting a good two extra hours before picking up Wu Shengnan.

Wu Shengnan looked tired when she first came out, but her face immediately lit up with a smile upon seeing Du Heng. ”I’m sorry, I just received a case that was sent back for re-examination. We have to reorganize the files again, so it’s been hectic.”

Du Heng shrugged and drove off. ”I’m slowly getting used to it,” he said with a hint of resignation.

”Thank you, Du. You’re so nice.” Wu Shengnan was behaving more and more like a demure young woman, even learning how to act coyly. However, every time she called him ”Du,” Du Heng couldn’t shake the feeling he was being called ”Dad.”

But right after she acted coy, she saw Du Heng’s mouth full of blisters and his swollen, everted lower lip, and immediately asked with a surprised look, ”Du, what happened to your mouth?”

This question ruined Du Heng’s mood completely.

He immediately poured out all his grievances to Wu Shengnan. He complained that he couldn’t stand this ’intensity,’ talked about how formidable the women at his workplace were, and also took the opportunity to grumble about Wu Shengnan’s father.

But Wu Shengnan was completely unfazed and just roared with laughter.

She suddenly remembered picking Du Heng up from the Health Clinic last year; his mouth had been covered in blisters then too. She hadn’t paid much attention at the time, but thinking about it now, it seemed quite amusing.

Wu Shengnan suddenly lowered her voice and asked in a very lewd tone, ”Du, if we were to, you know... *do it*... would your mouth get like this too?”

Du Heng was seething. ”Comrade Wu Shengnan, please be mindful of your status! Can you not be so crude? Also, don’t derive pleasure from my suffering. I will get angry.”

”Alright, alright, I won’t say any more,” Wu Shengnan said, but she still couldn’t help but laugh whenever she saw the blisters on Du Heng’s mouth.

Today, Wu Shengnan had worked late, and Du Heng was feeling down, so neither of them wanted to cook. They found a random restaurant outside and decided to just make do with a meal there.

Du Heng’s mouth was covered in blisters, so he couldn’t eat most things. He ordered some egg noodle and slurped it slowly.

Wu Shengnan, however, seemed to be doing it intentionally. She ordered a lot of barbecue and made a point of eating it noisily in front of Du Heng.

Looking at the increasingly childish Wu Shengnan, Du Heng said helplessly, ”You should eat less of that stuff. Be careful not to get pimples on your face.”

Wu Shengnan chuckled and took another hearty bite. ”Don’t worry, I never get pimples. Last year, I pulled all-nighters for a whole week straight, eating takeout every day, and still, not a single pimple like you described appeared on my face.”

Du Heng decided to ignore her. He lowered his head and slowly slurped his noodles. Hearing Wu Shengnan’s voice quiet down a little beside him, he tentatively asked, ”Nannan, why don’t you consider switching to internal work? If that’s not possible, maybe ask your dad to transfer you to the Municipal Bureau Department. What do you think?”

Wu Shengnan tilted her head, still chewing on her barbecue, and replied somewhat distractedly, ”Why? I like my current job, and I’m doing pretty well, aren’t I?”

”We’re not getting any younger, especially me—I’m already thirty. We should be thinking about marriage soon. After we get married, we’ll need to consider having children. So, I think it would be better for you to transfer to internal work or an administrative unit.”
