I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2587 - 1619: Small Gathering (2)

The employees and their families of Star Medical Technology almost always go to Xinghuo Medical Center for treatment.

A good collaboration is always about mutual pursuit and complementing each other.

"For vegetative patients, no institution in the world can guarantee a hundred percent success."

"Indeed, money isn’t everything. Nothing is more important than health."

Ouyang Qing spoke from experience.

"Then why do you always nitpick?"

"Where do I nitpick?"

"Don’t you always criticize Xie Wendong for not being good here and there?"

Ouyang Qing was taken aback. Then she immediately explained and unconsciously sat up straight, "I’m just being honest. Whenever we go out for social engagements, he can’t hold his liquor after just a few drinks. Am I supposed to accompany people instead? If all public relations were like him, nine out of ten deals would fall through."

"Not being able to drink well is a matter of health, not something he does deliberately. You’re just being overly critical, finding fault where there is none. He used to work as a technician at the power bureau, making such a big leap to work with us, I think he’s already trying hard enough."

Ouyang Qing shook her head, "As the boss, you can’t show favoritism due to classmates. Issues must still be addressed."

"Of course, I’ll address them, but as a girlfriend, you should be reasonable and not too demanding."

Ouyang Qing was stunned, baffled, "What girlfriend?"

Wu Yufei braked at the crosswalk, giving way to pedestrians, "Do you think I’m an idiot or blind?"

With her neat short hair and eyebrows exuding charm, Ouyang Qing’s face inexplicably blushed.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Are you saying I don’t lead by example? Then tell me, how should I handle you two sneaking around with your office romance?"

"We are not!"

"Oh? Not officially confirmed yet? Still testing each other?"

Ouyang Qing blushed even more, feeling a bit embarrassed. Usually decisive, she suddenly became a little tongue-tied, "I, I have nothing with him, just colleagues, don’t make things up."

"Look at yourself in the mirror. You know you can’t lie."

Ouyang Qing actually opened the vanity mirror on the passenger side. Under the light, her face, not particularly pretty but fitting certain male aesthetics, was flushed red, suddenly having a bit of femininity.

The proof was undeniable.

"Snap."

The vanity mirror was closed again.

"When did you know?"

Wu Yufei’s lips curled upward, she released the brake, and the silver-gray BMW M4 crossed the crosswalk.

"Liking someone is something you can’t hide. Can you treat ordinary colleagues, old classmates, and lovers the same way? You’re in it, so you’re unaware, but bystanders see everything clearly."

Ouyang Qing suddenly felt a bit shy, shrinking back into her seat, "Really no. Just... getting to know..."

"Getting to know?"

Wu Yufei chuckled, "You’ve known him since high school, were classmates for three years, isn’t that enough time to get to know him? They say there’s a seven-year itch, but you’ve known each other for ten years."

"How can it be the same? If it weren’t for working in the company together, we would have always remained uncontacted old classmates."

"That’s what fate is."

Ouyang Qing was silent and then, not knowing what she thought of, began to laugh to herself.

She nodded, with a hint of nostalgia, "Yes, it really is fate."

What does she have with Xie Wendong?

Growing feelings over time?

Not sure.

But looking back now, from that class reunion in River City, the wheels of fate began to turn quietly.

"Back in high school, I never even thought about it, I didn’t even notice him. Jiang Chen left a deeper impression in my mind."

"I didn’t expect our old discipline committee officer to be someone who judges by appearance."

"What judging by appearance? He went to report at the political and educational office every other day. It was hard not to have a deep impression of him. Just him alone brought so much trouble to our class, added much pressure to my work."

Wu Yufei smiled,

"Didn’t he repay you? From a certain point of view, he counts as your matchmaker."

Ouyang Qing found it absurd, about to retort, but suddenly realized there might be some truth to it.

"Why is life so... ridiculous?"

Wu Yufei drove, her smile gentle, "If you stand in youth’s position looking to the future, you might say your future is uncertain, you might say your future is limitless; but if you stand at the end point looking at your life’s path, you’ll see only one road, you can only see one destined path. Not knowing what fate is, only then understanding what destiny is."

Ouyang Qing got lost in thought, looking at the congested traffic ahead, and after a while, said: "Did you ever write a love letter to Jiang Chen?"

Wu Yufei instantly fell from her strategic composure to flustered.

"No!"

"Really? I don’t believe it."

Wait.

This questioning style feels familiar.

"You said it, he was called to the political and educational office frequently due to puppy love issues, everyone knew he was dating Fang Qing, how could I have had the courage."

See.

Though she denied writing a love letter, she admitted the secret crush.

Nothing shameful about it.

In youthful years, who hasn’t experienced a flutter of feelings?

Even someone as aloof as Li Shuru admired a senior during middle school.

It’s human nature.

"Wasn’t that a misunderstanding?"

Looking back now, indeed it was a misunderstanding.

"But who knew back then, and I was so ordinary at the time."

Ouyang Qing couldn’t help but chuckle at this, even with their current relationship, she didn’t know how to console her.

In middle school, Wu Yufei was indeed quite ordinary.

She really isn’t good at lying.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"Focus on driving!"

Ouyang Qing urged, then with a teasing smile, continued, "Ordinary as you were, back then, looks didn’t matter so much. It was about seeking a novel experience. If you’d been brave, you might have won over Jiang Chen."

"It’s easy to talk smack. Being so ordinary, how could you have confidence?"

"What about now?"

Ouyang Qing looked at the face beside her that even she found amazing, "Now you’re so beautiful, how come you’re still not confident?"

Wu Yufei gave her a sidelong glance.

"Look, so charming. Use it on men, what good is it on me?"

Wu Yufei found it both funny and frustrating, "Stop distracting me while I’m driving. The others should all be there."

"President Wu, back in high school, if you’d been a bit braver, your life might be completely different. Like you just said, ten years from now, looking back, would you regret not being braver today?"

Wu Yufei didn’t react dramatically, just gave a faint smile.

"Speak up, why are you smiling."

"Who told you I regret it?"

Wu Yufei’s voice was light, "To like someone, I think, doesn’t necessarily mean you have to have them. I never felt regret for not confessing my feelings back then, but I do wish high school could happen again. Just being able to see him is a wonderful thing."

Ouyang Qing was lost in thought, then shook her head.

"You’re hopeless."

Wu Yufei was indifferent, or perhaps "willingly indulgent."

"I think I’m the luckiest person in the world."

A lucky girl encounters two men in her lifetime.

One gentles the time.

One dazzles the years.

But if the two men happen to be the same person, isn’t that extreme luck?

Back then, she was a complete ugly duckling, boys treated her as invisible, also ostracized by girls, only Jiang Chen would not walk around if her books fell to the ground but instead would help her pick them up.

And additionally,

Though the young boy wasn’t extraordinarily handsome at that time, during the afternoon physics class, when sunshine shone at a 40° angle through the window, refracted by the glass, over the towering pile of books landing on his plain, clean white shirt,

it was really enchanting.
