My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1490 - 599: Promoted to Deputy Department Director, Qianqian Returns Home in Glory (Part 2)
Previously on My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points...
Wei Fang is typically a very quiet person.
This time, however, she surprisingly said a few words of thanks to Zhou Can and Su Qianqian.
Indeed, as she said, Zhou Can and Su Qianqian changed her fate. They helped her transition from a fated girl from the deep mountains to successfully integrate into urban life, and she found stability in both income and work in the big city.
The apartment she bought isn’t large, two bedrooms and a living room, over seventy square meters.
It’s completely sufficient for her and her grandmother to live.
Moreover, she usually stays at her boss’s house.
When she was buying a house, Zhou Can and Su Qianqian offered to give her one, but she firmly refused to accept it. Instead, she used the salary she had saved over the past few years to make the down payment and bought a house with her own money.
"We need to go to Qianqian’s parents’ house, probably for two or three days. Are you okay with coming along?"
"No problem! I’ll just go and tell grandma in a bit; she’s completely able to take care of herself."
Wei Fang nodded in agreement.
"Okay! Make sure to prepare adequately for the elderly," Zhou Can said, then looked at her again. "Since you’ve been in the city for so many years, haven’t you thought about finding a man to spend the rest of your life with?"
These are the kinds of things Zhou Can would only say in front of Su Qianqian.
Otherwise, it’s easy for this female bodyguard to think the boss has some idea about her.
Actually, Wei Fang’s appearance is quite masculine.
Especially after receiving professional protection training, she has truly become a bona fide tomboy.
"Never thought about it. I think living like this for a lifetime is pretty good."
She shook her head directly.
From her eyes, one can see despair towards love.
Women who have been hurt find it difficult to believe in the beauty of love again.
"Wei Fang, finding a man can actually be pretty good; it’s a sort of reliance! And after getting married, you can have your own children, build a complete family, which makes life more fulfilling and happy."
Su Qianqian also took the opportunity to persuade her.
"Thank you, boss and boss’s wife, for your concern. I really have no such thoughts at the moment. You all eat first; I’m going to prepare daily necessities for grandma for the next few days."
Fearful that the boss and his wife would continue to work on her thoughts about this matter, Wei Fang quickly found an excuse to escape.
Watching her dash away, Zhou Can and Su Qianqian exchanged glances and both smiled.
"Next time, don’t discuss such matters during meals, you scared Wei Fang away without even eating."
Su Qianqian said to Zhou Can.
"Who would have thought she’d resist love so much? I see she’s always single, time is fleeting; if she doesn’t find a man to marry while she’s young, it’s easy to delay this lifelong matter."
Zhou Can’s intentions were entirely goodwill.
"Wei Fang told me about her past; she was deeply hurt by a scoundrel who started casually and abandoned her, leaving a deep wound. That’s why she no longer trusts love but rather feels fear and disgust. This matter can’t be rushed; when she meets a man who stirs her heart, maybe she will rekindle hope in love. If you find a suitable man for her, you might introduce them!"
Both Su Qianqian and Wei Fang were women, so Wei Fang was willing to share these personal matters with her.
"I’ll keep an eye out, but my colleagues are all healthcare staff; they might not like ladies like Wei Fang. We’ll see, marriage depends on destiny. I’ll also ask Li Lao to keep an eye out for her."
Zhou Can thought that among his colleagues at the hospital, very few would want Wei Fang as a wife.
It’s not that Wei Fang isn’t good, but her masculine appearance and behavior surpass men. It really calls for love to find beauty in her.
"Let’s not talk about Wei Fang anymore. Qianqian, do your uncle and aunt know your current situation?"
Zhou Can started discussing the formal affairs of the proposal.
Taking three days off is extremely difficult; they want to get the blessing and approval of her family.
As much as possible, they want to have everything prepared for a smooth process.
"We haven’t been in contact much in recent years. That roadshow got into trouble, and then I was diagnosed with uremia; I called them once to borrow money. My uncle initially agreed to lend me ten thousand yuan, but then my aunt said they needed the money to buy fertilizers and seeds, so they didn’t agree. Later, when I called again, they wouldn’t answer."
Su Qianqian mentioned the past, still appearing somewhat sad.
At her most helpless, when she needed help the most, her uncle and aunt chose to abandon her, making her very sad.
She profoundly felt the cruelty of the world and the coldness of familial affection.
After that, with Zhou Can’s help, she gradually developed her career, eventually becoming a winner in life.
Yet, the heartache from those times remains fresh in her memory, hence her reduced contact with her uncle and aunt.
"Hmm...how about when we go back tomorrow, we dress ordinarily, and just say the car is rented? About your current income and economic situation, choose to kindly conceal it. What do you think?"
Zhou Can discussed with her.
"Are you worried that my uncle and aunt might make excessive demands?"
Su Qianqian quickly understood his mindset, as they were on the same wavelength.
"It’s crucial to stay cautious, right? You won’t be angry? I’m doing this to see their attitude towards you, and to make the proposal go smoothly. Since taking leave is so difficult, if the proposal isn’t successful, it would be exceptionally challenging to take leave again."
Zhou Can’s mind is mature, far beyond his peers.
Su Qianqian is kind-hearted, but it doesn’t mean she’s lacking in experience.
She also has a profound understanding of the darkness and evil of human nature.
"I understand your concerns, I won’t get angry over these things. You’re doing this for my good."
Su Qianqian agreed to Zhou Can’s request.
Early the next morning, the three of them set off with gifts.
I wonder what the road condition is like in Su Qianqian’s hometown, which is in the valleys?
There are many remote areas where, in earlier years, once reaching the town by car, there were no roads ahead. You had to switch to an ox-cart.
You might even need to cross a cableway or climb mountain paths.
In areas lacking developed infrastructure, traveling feels like being in a primitive society.
...
After driving for more than eleven hours, they finally arrived at Su Qianqian’s hometown.
This is a small mountain village deep in the mountains.
Thanks to the nation’s infrastructure development over the years, the road went all the way to the village entrance. The local villagers pooled their resources to build a cement road leading into the village.
Moreover, the mountain village has many buildings; even ordinary houses are nicely renovated.
The cement yard, exterior walls tiled with ceramic, red glazed tiles, stainless steel doors, and windows lend a sense of modernity to this village deep in the mountains.
The rice fields are planted with maize and rice, growing well.
Presently, rural life should be relatively comfortable. But due to lack of economic industries, making money is difficult. Most able-bodied workers have gone out to work, leaving mainly the elderly behind.
"Qianqian, which one is your home?"
"Drive a bit further inside; I haven’t returned in many years. The changes in my hometown are so big."
Su Qianqian rolled down the window and looked outside, trying to find some memories from her past.
"It should be that house up ahead. My house used to be adjacent to my uncle’s house, but now the house seems to be gone."
Su Qianqian pointed at a house ahead.
The arrival of a Mercedes-Benz car in this impoverished village had already attracted the attention of quite a few villagers.
However, due to the rapid economic growth domestically these days, the roads are filled with luxury cars everywhere.
So it didn’t cause much of a sensation.
Many were merely curious to see who the son of the family was to earn money and come back gloriously?
"Wei Fang, park the car here first; I’ll go and have a look."
Su Qianqian said to her.
Zhou Can also accompanied her out of the car.
Although Su Qianqian specially dressed plain, she couldn’t hide her stunning beauty. As soon as she got out of the car, she immediately became a beautiful sight.
"That’s right, my home was right here before. But it seems it was demolished by someone. I also remember the big persimmon tree behind the house; when dad was still alive, and we were poor, he would pick unripe persimmons and soak them in water for a few days to get rid of the bitterness, making them crisp and sweet. That was the most delicious childhood snack I ever had..."
She pointed at a lush persimmon tree.
Recalling her childhood and memories of her father, her expression was noticeably different from any other time.
