Chapter 21: A Chance Encounter in the Hospital
It is a new week, the deposit of Taiping sub-branch has increased for three consecutive days, in the latest performance ranking announced by the head office, the performance of Taiping sub-branch has changed from negative growth to positive growth, in the words of the bank, it is out of the water, and about 10% of the task of "good start" has been completed, for which the head office sent a congratulatory letter.
Affected by the stock market, the people's enthusiasm for investment is high. After the weekend of marketing fermentation, the number of people who came to the branch to buy funds and wealth management increased significantly on Monday, and by 10 o'clock in the morning, there was even a backlog of people queuing up at the branch counter to handle business.
In the morning, Fang Hongli called again and asked Ding Le to go to the hospital for a reexamination, but she couldn't stand her mother's repeated requests, so Ding Le made an appointment with the attending doctor for an afternoon examination.
After making an appointment with the doctor, Ding Le told his mother about it, so as not to worry her.
Fang Hongli didn't have classes in the morning, she knew that Ding Le went to the hospital for a recheck, so she took care of him to go home for dinner at noon.
When it was close to noon, Ding Le said hello to Zhang Linli, asked her to pay more attention, and also told Fei Yang to call him if he had something.
When it was almost noon, Ding Le came home and his mother was cooking in the kitchen.
He saw that his mother was busy, and after entering the door and changing his shoes, he was about to go to the kitchen to wash his hands, but was pushed out by Fang Hongli.
"You still don't make a mess for me, you take a break, I'll be fine right away, and I'll cook your favorite dishes." ”
Ding Le had no choice but to sit on the sofa, turn on the TV, and wait while watching.
"You can call your dad and ask when you will come back for dinner, and I'll be ready!"
Ding Le was just about to pick up the phone when he saw his father Ding Jianguo pushing the door in.
Ding Jianguo only had one class in the morning, and when he knew that his son was back, he returned to the office after class, and dared to go home after saying hello to the teacher in the same room.
The mother served the last fish head soup, and the family of three sat around for lunch.
Between meals, his mother asked Ding Le, "How far has your relationship with that Xia Xiao developed? ”
Ding Le said: "It's all in the same unit, in order to avoid suspicion, I didn't take the initiative too much, let's go out like this first, and wait until there is a chance to stop being a unit!"
Hearing this, Ding Jianguo said unhappily: "What's wrong with a unit? The man is unmarried, the woman is not married, what's wrong with normal interactions? Didn't my mother and I also know each other in the same unit?"
"Dad, you know to raise the bar with me, I am the leader, she is the employee, too close, what do you let others say about us, and then we are still young, and so on. ”
Fang Hongli also had a headache for the bickering between the father and son, "Lao Ding, it's rare for the child to come back once, don't you say so much that is disappointing, don't you still have classes in the afternoon, go to school quickly after eating." ”
"Do you need me to accompany you to the hospital in the afternoon? If you do, I'll change classes with other teachers, and I'll come back to class after you go to the hospital. Ding Jianguo changed the subject.
"I can do it myself, Dad, you're still busy with you, I'll call you after I'm done." Ding Le insisted.
"Okay, I'll go to class after eating, and I'll go to the hospital when you rest at home. ”
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Le came to the hospital at the appointed time. Whenever you come to the hospital, it's always overcrowded.
The attending doctor gave Ding Le a follow-up, and the wound healed very well, and it would be healed in another month.
The doctor prescribed some medicine to Ding Le as usual, and after Ding Le took the medical insurance card to pay for the medicine, he turned around and was about to leave.
When he turned around, he looked up and saw Xu Jing, she was wearing a black down coat, wrapping herself tightly from top to bottom, hiding all her graceful figure.
Xu Jing was also very surprised to see Ding Le, and when she wanted to turn her face away and pretend not to know, Ding Le took the initiative to shout: "What a coincidence, Sister Jing also came to see the doctor?"
Xu Jing couldn't hide, so she had to respond embarrassedly: "I'll get some medicine for the elders, I met you so coincidentally!"
Xu Jing's face was not as glamorous as the last time they met, but more haggard, and there was an urge to hold people in their arms and pity them.
Ding Le wanted to apologize for what happened last time, but felt that this kind of occasion was a bit abrupt, and when he was in a dilemma, Xu Jing said, "What are you doing in the hospital?"
"I came for a check-up, and I had a bit of an injury before. ”
Although the news media did not expose all the facts of the "12.30 robbery case" in Taiping Branch, most of the people in Taiping Town knew about it, after all, there were gunshots that day.
Xu Jing opened a restaurant again, and the guests came to eat, and after three rounds of drinking, she liked to talk about all kinds of gossip news, so she was well-informed about all kinds of news.
Hearing Ding Le mention the injury, she looked like she suddenly realized. "It turns out that you, like my sister, are people with stories!".
Ding Le was aroused by her words and wanted to gossip, so he continued: "Sister Jing, are you empty now, why don't you go to the café and sit down for a while, let me hear your story!"
"I also want you to formally apologize for your rude behavior last time!" Ding Le said with a sincere face in Ding Le's eyes.
"At the right turn of the hospital, there is a Shangdao Café, you go there first and wait for me, I will finish the matter and go over, ten minutes!" Xu Jing said.
"That's okay, I'll wait for you after work, I'll help you order what you drink!"
"American, thank you!"
Ding Le followed the direction pointed out by Xu Jing, came to the café, and after ordering a cup of American and vanilla latte, he found a window seat and sat down.
The winter afternoon sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass, making people feel drowsy.
In less than fifteen minutes, Xu Jing came slowly, she took off her coat when she entered the café, and today she wore a red tight sweater, her full breasts, swaying with the movement of her steps, which was really eye-catching.
After Xu Jing sat down, Ding Le apologized again for what happened that night, Xu Jing's face was haggard, and after hearing Ding Le's words, a blush permeated from her fair face.
Xu Jing elegantly picked up the cup, took a sip lightly, and then told Ding Le her story.
Xu Jing is a native of Zhejiang Province, she met her husband in college, the two returned to Haizhou together after graduation, his husband was admitted to the civil service and became a police officer in the Taiping Branch, she worked in a foreign company, and the two got married soon after working, the husband and wife were in love, and the family was happy.
3 years ago, during a regular attendance in the unit, he was attacked by gangsters, and after a fierce fight with the gangsters, Xu Jing's husband died heroically.
Xu Jing's husband is the only son in the family, his sacrifice made the whole family fall into grief, her parents-in-law became depressed and fell ill, and her parents-in-law opened Yangyang Hotel for many years without management. Yangyang is her husband's milk name.
Xu Jing is very beautiful, and after taking over the management of the hotel, many people came for her appearance.
After her husband's death, colleagues often come to consume in the unit, which is also a deterrent to those who have other intentions, and it is also a protection for the hotel.
Over time, Yangyang Hotel is famous for its proprietress being a beautiful young woman, and all kinds of gossip news are endless, some say that she is the mistress maintained by a certain leader, and some say that she is a black and white all-you-can-eat......
Ding Le listened silently to Xu Jing's words, and only then did he know that there was such a story behind this seemingly weak and beautiful woman.
Xu Jing said so much in one breath, took a few sips of coffee, and then continued to speak.
After marriage, she and her husband were busy with their respective careers, and planned to have children after their careers were successful, but they didn't expect that her husband's sacrifice made this a permanent regret.
After his father-in-law became depressed, he never got out of the grief of losing his son, and he died after a year.
After her mother-in-law became depressed, her health deteriorated, and she has been being treated for several years.
Looking at the glamorous young woman in front of him, he never thought that there was such a sad story behind it.
"You're so tired, why don't you consider closing the restaurant and changing careers to other businesses?" Ding Le asked puzzled.
"The restaurant is a thought of our family to my husband, and my mother-in-law is sick all the year round, and it takes a lot of money to see a doctor.
"One day my mother-in-law is gone, I won't do it anymore, the one you see in the restaurant is not the real me, I am forcing a smile every day to please customers, I am so tired, I don't know how long I can last" Xu Jing said and began to feel sad.
Ding Le suddenly didn't know what to do, so he had to pick up the tissue paper on the table and hand it over silently.
"I've seen you a few times, and from your eyes, I didn't see that kind of lustful look, but a kind of admiration and admiration, do you like me?" Xu Jing suddenly asked back.
Ding Le was stumped by Xu Jing's sudden rhetorical question, and paused and said: "You must also know the accident before the New Year's Day of the Taiping Branch, after I was shot and rescued in the hospital, I felt that life was precious, and I began to learn to appreciate all the beautiful things I encountered in life, and now I see you like a bewitching white lotus, out of the mud without staining, sometimes fragrant and sometimes bewitching!"
Xu Jing was amused by Ding Le's compliment, pursed her lips, lowered her head and smiled, and at that moment it was like a blooming flower.
