251 Defeated in One Strike (1/2)

”Doctor Ling, do you take the taxi every day?” Tian Qi drove her car in slight guilt. She used the opportunity to get closer to Ling Ran.

Tian Qi now regretted that she did not find a relationship guru to learn how to flirt last year.

Ling Ran leaned against the seat in the Rolls-Royce comfortably. While he felt the soft leather, he said, ”Usually, I will drive my own car to work, but today, I can't start my car.”

”Did you find the cause?” Tian Qi felt even more guilty.

Ling Ran said in resignation, ”I don't know how to repair a car.”

”Doctor Ling, you don't know about cars?” Tian Qi breathed a sigh of relief and instantly became annoyed. How could men not know about cars? Had he forgotten the regulations on the Internet?

Ling Ran did not care about that. He said, ”I used to think that fixing cars is not as interesting as fixing people.”

Tian Qi let out a long hum. When she remembered how doctors fixed people, she shuddered a little and said, ”Doctor Ling, you have quite the personality.”

”It's a personal interest.”

”By the way, Doctor Ling, now that you're going to work, when will you be off work?”

”If it goes well, it will be three or four hours later,” Ling Ran counted all the time he would need to stay in the hospital, and that included the time before and after his surgery. He did not need to be sitting in the hospital's office to do work. The most tiring thing for junior doctors were chores, such as writing endless medical records, dealing with patients and family members who always had various problems, constantly change their orders on how to take care of the patient and how the patients should take their medication, the continuous check-ups, and reports. In addition, the stress from writing research papers and the fatigue from shifts could make a large number of resident doctors drop dead from exhaustion.

When a doctor's main job was just to perform surgeries, his time was freed. This was especially so when they only had a few surgeries to perform. Attending physicians and senior grade associate chief physicians were relatively very relaxed.

Tian Qi looked at Ling Ran through the mirror and felt pity in her heart. ”You actually have to work for such a long period of time?”

”There is only one surgery in the morning, so it will end three or four hours later.”

”You have to work longer sometimes?” Tian Qi was shocked.

”Of course.” Ling Ran nodded and said, ”Two surgeries take six to seven hours. If any accidents happen, it will take an even longer time.”

”Doctor Ling, you must have been working really hard.” Tian Qi was almost tearing up.

Ling Ran looked at Tian Qi and saw that she seemed to be serious, so he said, ”It is quite relaxing to work for six or seven hours a day. Normal working hours are eight hours a day. You can only claim that like if tough if you have to work for fifteen or sixteen hours per day.”

Tian Qi was so awed by the news that her tears disappeared. ”Aren't they pushing for flexible jobs nowadays? Google seems to work on the basis that once their employees' work is done, they don't have to go to work anymore. Yahoo used to be a work-from-home job as well, right?”

”If work is flexible and we do it slowly, we will end up having to work for even longer hours, right?”

”Oh, that's right.” Tian Qi paused and said, ”But I noticed that my relatives' working durations aren't very long. Maybe they finished their work ahead of time.”

Ling Ran nodded in a non-committal manner.

”I'm going to get great achievements in the future. We're almost at Yun Hua Hospital,” Tian Qi said, and she raised her head. Yun Hua Hospital's sign was already visible.

It was four o'clock in the morning, and the building was so pristinely white that it was terrifying. Tian Qi could not help but reduced her speed. She voiced out the reason she thought of earlier, ”Doctor Ling, I won't be using this car before noon. Why don't you use it first and give me back before six in the evening?”

The people of Yun Hua had dinner at six or seven in the evening. If Ling Ran were to return the car at that time, he would have no choice but to treat her to a meal.

Tian Qi originally wanted to choose seven o'clock so that her intentions would not be so obvious. But after some thinking, she became afraid that Doctor Ling, who was popular, might be invited by other people at six o'clock.

So, Tian Qi chose six o'clock in the evening.

Ling Ran was stunned for a moment before he shook his head, ”It's easier to get a ride during the day. You don't have to park your car here for me.”

Her plan was disrupted, but Tian Qi was not too nervous. She immediately brought out her second plan and said, ”Even if it's easier to get a ride, it will take a long time. Why don't you add me on WeChat? When you're done, just message me in advance. If I'm free, I'll pick you up.”

Ling Ran hesitated for a little while.

”You can send me red envelopes via WeChat. I'll just treat it as… me driving a black car. Like that, the company won't take some of my profit. I might even earn a little more.” Tian Qi racked her brain trying to persuade Ling Ran.

Ling Ran smiled. ”It's impossible for you to earn anything if you drive like this.”

”It doesn't matter. Gaining experience is still gaining something, right?” Tian Qi smiled sincerely. She did indeed think that way.

Ling Ran could only accept her offer since she worded it like that. He automatically added Tian Qi in WeChat.

Tian Qi nodded continuously. She held the steering wheel and looked at the rearview mirror while feeling pleased with herself, ”I will charge according to this billing. Hmm... I'll charge you as if I just sent you to this spot. It's 15 RMB, the figure is a round figure, just perfect.”

Tian Qi drove the car to the front of the hospital. She opened the door in a hurry and watched Ling Ran get off. Then, she slowly drove away. The nervousness in her disappeared, and she could not help but giggled as she looked ahead of her.
