Chapter 1358: Chapter 1357: Meeting the Ning Family Eldest Young Master Again
Now that Ye Qiu had asked so many questions, both Boss Lu and Zhou Peng were confused about why Dr. Ye was asking them. They thought it was impossible for Ye Qiu to be interested in that print factory because, as Boss Lu just mentioned, the factory is a burden that doesn’t make money, offering only some reputation in return.
“Boss Lu, it’s like this, the father of a female friend of mine has worked at that print factory for twenty or thirty years, but now he’s still just the lowest-level production worker in the production department.”
“So what do you mean, Dr. Ye?”
“It might have caused some family issues, so I want you to gradually promote him. Of course, based on his abilities, he should have been promoted long ago, but he himself said that without connections and money, he’s stuck at the bottom.”
Boss Lu looked a bit awkward when Ye Qiu said that.
However, this is a factory in a joint venture with SASAC. He knows about the issues within the company but is powerless to change them; otherwise, if they laid off most of the staff as Ye Qiu suggested, the print factory would have been making a lot of money long ago.
“Promote him? That’s not hard!”
If it’s just about promoting someone, that surely isn’t difficult.
“Just promote him to a mid-level manager, nothing too high.”
The two seemed to understand a bit.
“Of course, it can be done.”
Boss Lu said.
“But I don’t want anyone else to know, including the father of my female friend.”
“Dr. Ye, I understand.”
“Great, then there’s no issue. I can treat you now. In three to five days, you should see quite a bit of hair growing on your head, and in a month, it will be as thick and dark as Dean Zhou’s.”
It was obvious that they had agreed on the terms.
In the adjoining private ward, when Lu closed his eyes and opened them again, Ye Qiu said: “Boss Lu, it’s done. In three to five days, a thin layer of hair will definitely grow. If it doesn’t, you can come to me. Of course, regarding the matter of my female friend’s father, you can do it after your hair grows back as well.”
“Dr. Ye, I understand.”
Ye Qiu and Boss Lu came out of the private ward, and after Lu thanked Dean Zhou, he left.
“Dr. Ye, you really didn’t have to go through all that trouble just now. Even without treating Lu, he probably would have done it.”
“Dean Zhou, that’s another matter. People are only motivated when it benefits them.”
If I completely cure Boss Lu’s baldness this time, he will regain his dignity and face. Promoting a regular employee in the print factory wouldn’t count as much, just a matter of increasing their salary a bit more each month.
Ye Qiu drank a couple of cups of tea and left Zhou Peng’s office, heading over to Wen Xin’s office next.
Upon arriving at the office, Ye Qiu saw a few female nurses there but no sign of Wen Xin.
Could Wen Xin be off work today?
“Dr. Ye, you’re looking for Wen Xin, right? She’s resting in the dormitory today.”
“Okay.”
Ye Qiu left the Affiliated Hospital and called Wen Xin.
“Ye Qiu, I’m here at the dormitory.”
Wen Xin had alternating day and night shifts, and of course, after becoming the head nurse, her work was much more relaxed compared to other regular nurses.
“Is there anyone else in the dormitory?”
“Just me.”
“I’ll come up then.”
Ye Qiu arrived below the female dormitory, and Wen Xin came down to open the door and they went into her dorm room together.
Inside the dorm, besides Wen Xin, the two other nurses had already gone to work.
Wen Xin was still wearing a winter nightdress; she’d clearly just woken up.
It was tough working night shifts, so she usually slept in during the day.
She hadn’t even had breakfast.
“Did you come over to treat someone?”
“Can’t I just come to see you?”
“Of course you can, I kind of missed you too.”
Wen Xin said, blushing slightly.
Seeing her still yawning, it was clear she hadn’t had enough sleep.
Wen Xin had worked the night shift, returning to rest after six in the morning, and it was now past two in the afternoon. She didn’t feel hungry because she had breakfast before coming to rest.
“Are you still sleepy?”
“A bit!”
“Close your eyes for now. You’ll feel better quickly.”
Wen Xin closed her eyes as Ye Qiu suggested, feeling him kiss her cheek.
“I haven’t brushed my teeth or washed my face.”
Wen Xin felt a bit embarrassed, quickly opening her eyes, but she did feel less sleepy and much more awake as she rushed to freshen up in the bathroom.
She freshened up, changed out of her nightdress into her regular clothes, then put on a jacket. It was so cold outside, she didn’t dare wear a dress for fear of freezing.
Ye Qiu and Wen Xin left the dormitory and got into the car. Since Wen Xin hadn’t had lunch, Ye Qiu planned to take her to eat first.
“What do you want to eat?”
“I’m up for anything.”
Wen Xin had no particular cravings, and it was more about who she was eating with.
“Then let’s go for hot pot.”
In this cold winter, Ye Qiu thought hot pot from the Southwest was a good choice.
They drove to a hot pot restaurant, parking outside. It wasn’t mealtime, so there weren’t many cars, making it easy to find a spot.
They got out of the car and entered the hot pot restaurant. A waitress immediately greeted them and led them inside.
“Do you have a private room?”
“Yes, we do.”
The waitress led Ye Qiu and Wen Xin to a private room. Nowadays, many restaurants have private rooms without a spending limit.
Once inside and seated, Wen Xin’s mouth watered at the aroma, and her stomach growled.
The waitress handed them a menu, and as they were about to order, Ye Qiu said, “You can order whatever you want, I’ll just go to the restroom first.”
When Ye Qiu stepped outside, he felt someone staring at him, and the gaze was extremely hostile.
Ye Qiu looked over and saw it was none other than Ning Family’s eldest son, Ning Le.
Ye Qiu hadn’t seen Ning Family’s eldest son for some time, and he didn’t expect to see him here, eating hot pot with a beautiful woman. However, Ning Le’s gaze quickly shifted, pretending not to have noticed Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu didn’t spare him another glance, heading straight to the restroom.
