60 Utter Disbelief (1/2)

Theater 3 - 12:30 pm

Jiang Huan rushed into the scrubbing area. She was dressed in scrubs, her hair was messy and there was sweat dripping down her forehead. Jiang Huan's face was bright red and she was out of breath.

Jiang Huan put on a face mask and entered the main theater, she walked towards Li Xiuying. Jiang Huan waited quietly to one side. She took out a tissue from her pocket and began dabbing away her sweat and trying to catch her breath.

Two minutes had passed when Li Xiuying looked up from the patient's abdomen.

Jiang Huan took this opportunity to speak: ”Dr. Li I am so sorry for being late. My car was broken into this morning.”

Li Xiuying assessed Jiang Huan's current state, which was in disarray: ”Okay?”

Jiang Huan: ”Yes, thank you for asking. When I arrived at my car a passerby who had witnessed the break in had already called the police and was giving a statement. The witness said it was a couple of teenagers and when they saw him they ran. ”

Li Xiuying thought that it was a little strange that Jiang Huan's car had broken into at such an odd time in the morning; but she put the thought to the back of her mind.

Li Xiuying offered: ”Day off?”

Jiang Huan adamantly said: ”No I'm fine. The police are now looking for the teenagers; the witness gave a very detailed description of the perpetrators. I've also had my car towed to the garage. I must be really unlucky that it was just my car that was broken in to, I didn't even have anything valuable inside it.” Jiang Huan sighed. Life always hits you when you least expect it.

Li Xiuying: ”1 hour lunch.” Her tone left no room for negotiation.

Li Xiuying turned her attention back to the operation.

Jiang Huan: ”Thank you. I'll be in the office after I've finished the hour.” She was grateful to have such an understanding employer.

Qin Enterprises

Elder Qin and Qin Song were in an elevator, heading up to Qin Song's office.

Elder Qin was staring daggers at his son, who had been tight lipped since they had left the hospital.

Qin Song didn't look at his father; he kept staring at the elevator doors in front of him. He would never tell his father what had happened with Li Xiuying. How could he possibly tell his father that Li Xiuying had repeatedly rejected his requests?

He was the CEO of a major conglomerate, a successful business man with dashing good looks, he was the man that men wanted to be and women wanted to be with. How could he possibly be rejected by a woman who was barely half his size?!
