Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 1721 - 1820: A Little Bit of Pride
Previously on Overbearing Immortal Doctor...
Female Nurse put on a knowing expression: "A bright girl like you surely shouldn’t give in so easily to those wealthy young men.
Otherwise, they won’t cherish you!"
Tang Ju could only smile without saying anything.
"But he treats you quite well, running up and down, even paying for your medical expenses, which is rare in this age, and he’s handsome too!"
Female Nurse showed a hint of envy, but Tang Ou sat quietly, her gaze a bit distant, even while looking at her grandmother.
Yet, all she could see was Su Mi’s gentle smiling face.
What he said and did was so self-assured.
His demeanor seemed full of confidence, especially when talking about the internet and machines, making Tang feel inadequate.
In front of Su Zhe, she actually felt somewhat ashamed and embarrassed.
Back in school, she never felt this way; being the top scorer in exams always gave her a small sense of pride.
She always maintained this pride.
But when it came to the math test paper, she realized for the first time,
she wasn’t as excellent as the teachers claimed, she just didn’t know.
Su Zhe’s appearance shattered Tang’s long-held beliefs, this feeling even harsher than failing an exam.
Su Zhe, the Su from Su City, the Zhe from philosophy!
Tang silently chanted Su Zhe’s self-introduction, her mind a swirl of chaos.
"Due to a relative’s hospital stay, I owe Su Zhe 60,000 Yuan for medical expenses. Signature: Tang Mo, ID number, home address,
phone number, school exam number"
Su Zhe looked at the note Tang Mo wrote him, smiling slightly, imagining the serious expression on the other side while writing it.
Not only including ID number and home address, but even the exam number and school were written.
Then, Su Zhe slipped the note into Central’s dashboard, sat upright, and drove home.
Henceforth, the seas are wide for fish to leap, the sky is high for birds to fly.
Su Shi murmured.
It felt like the world was within his grasp; he routinely logged into stock trading, seeing the shares skyrocketed again.
million.
Ring ring.
At this moment, the phone rang, Su Zhe looked and saw it was an unknown number.
Su Zhe spoke politely, and a resonant voice came through: Hello, Mr. Su? I’m from the Telecom Bureau, here to install your broadband!
Instantly, Su Zhe’s face brightened with a smile, finally bidding farewell to this damned dial-up internet.
"Okay, I’m home."
If it weren’t for the car parked at the entrance, he wouldn’t believe this was the house getting broadband installed.
After all, in this age, those who could afford 1M broadband were definitely wealthy.
1,500 per month, ordinary people simply couldn’t bear it.
"Excuse me, is it your house installing broadband?"
The young man stood at the door, watching Su Zhe open the door, Su Shi nodded: "It’s my house."
The young man subconsciously asked, putting down his toolbox.
"Sure, my mother wouldn’t agree otherwise!"
The young man carried the bulky toolkit, complete with broadband installation facilities, having a broadband at home was a big deal in those days.
And Su Zhe’s house was in a rural area, making broadband installation even tougher.
First, a broadband line had to be drawn from the telephone’s terminal, then connected to Su Zhe’s home.
Usually, the telephone terminals were set up on cables, so poles had to be applied for; thus, a job demanding both physical strength and technical skill, not for the average person to handle.
After 2 whole hours, Su Zhe’s house’s broadband was finally installed.
Handsome guy, your computer’s not cheap!"
Gong Hao, the broadband installation manager, exclaimed while examining Su Zhe’s computer.
Su Zhe smiled, saying little.
"Oh, here’s my card!"
For any broadband issues, feel free to call me!"
Gong Hao handed a business card to Su Zhe, who subconsciously glanced at it, realizing the title was:
A surprise — Tianchao Telecom Su City branch Deputy General Manager Gong Hao!
Su Zhe was somewhat dumbfounded, thinking wasn’t this guy too young?
So young yet already a deputy manager?
Su Zhe quickly sat at the computer, eager to try the 1M broadband.
Turns out, a speed surge wasn’t possible; it improved a bit, downloading from 70-80k to 150k/s, doubled.
"Ugh, still turtle speed..."
Su Zhe shook his head, continuing to write his 2G network proposal.
June 9, 1999, last day of the college entrance exams.
After finishing the comprehensive test in the morning, Su Zhe felt liberated; he drove to Da Li’s place, parked the car, and upon raising his head, saw a pair of long legs standing right in front of him.
"Su Zhe, after the exams, can you go to the hospital with me for a bit? I have something to give you."
Tang Mo seemed to muster courage to say this, Su Zhe thought for a while and nodded: "Alright, what is it?"
"Nothing much. My grandma asked me to give you this, to thank you for saving my grandpa!"
Tang Ju said this, while his face showed some color.
He didn’t put it in, just smiled and then with
Tang Yuan followed him, neither spoke much along the way, until reaching Tang Mo’s test venue, Tang Mo finally turned and softly said: "Su Zhe, keep it up!"
"Huh? Oh."
Su Shi was actually reciting the comprehensive test answers, but Tang Mo thought he was deep in thought, waved, and headed to his exam venue.
This detail caught many eyes, including students from No. 3 High School.
Though many didn’t believe, Su Zhe became a grudge in their eyes.
This guy filled the application randomly, not to mention stealing their dream girl.
Unbearable!
So when Su Zhe sat the exam, he noticed countless hostile glances, puzzling him, what was going on?
Last day, was this venting true feelings?
Or a classmate quietly said to him: "Su Shi, hey"
Tang Mo’s matter opened in the hotel.
Seemed like he only chatted with Tang Mo a little? Maybe?
"Someone saw Tang Mo getting into your car; didn’t expect you could drive?"
The classmate felt quite surprised.
Su Shi listened with interest, his classmate continued: "They say you applied to Qinghua for pursuing Tang Mo, eating swan meat, haha!
Some fun, right?
Su Zhe laughed heartily, this bunch’s imagination truly rich.
However, Su Zhe found it amusing.
He looked forward to seeing their faces once looking at his college entrance exam scores!
Su Zhe, you aren’t pursuing Tang Mo, are you?
His classmate gossiped, but Su Zhe returned a deep smile "You bet?"
The classmate was instantly speechless.
"Alright, exam’s soon!
Go back."
Su Kuo took the paper, started marking answers on the sheet.
An hour passed quickly.
Su Man satisfiedly glanced, after writing the final word, feeling a huge sense of liberation, welling from within.
Although he only experienced a month-long college entrance exam time, he felt like reliving high school exam days, memories of King Guan’s previous life exams, vividly at this moment, once again
popped in his mind.
This was him in a past life, but now, obviously, no longer present.
Su Zhe closed his eyes, cherishing the past life.
Memories of King Guan’s college exams, fresh in this mind, hard to bear.
