Chapter 50.2: Can't solve it? (2)

Hold on! We just saw each other not too long ago? Ji Qingying stretched out her hand to pat her head.

Rong Xue blinked, Havent you heard the saying: A Day of Separation is as Long as Three Autumns?

""

How does that sound so familiar?

Okay then. Lets go first, she said smiling.

After getting into the car, Rong Xue asked, Where am I staying?

Ji Qingying looked at her and replied, Of course, at my place.

Or would you prefer staying at a hotel? she joked.

Rong Xue innocently teased, Wont I be a hindrance for you and Dr Fu?

""

She thought about it for a moment and replied, Nope. We dont usually go to my place.

"Oh."

She then grinned as she stated, Even if you did, Ill make myself scarce~

Ji Qingying was completely stunned and unable to retort to her statement.

Rong Xue chattered all throughout the ride, but she wasnt annoying.

She shared intriguing customer stories and informed Ji Qingying of the goings on in the shops neighborhood, like a few newly opened small businesses that were good finds. Theyll tour them all when Ji Qingying visits next time.

Ji Qingying responded to each and every query, her face full of happiness.

Definitely. No problem~

She smiled, Though, this time might be a bit challenging.

At that statement, Rong Xues brow furrowed.

"What are you afraid of?"

She glanced at Ji Qingying before saying, Its not as if we havent had our share of difficulties before.

She reminisced about their time together and smiled. Sister Qingying, have you forgotten when the studio first started?

Ji Qingying certainly couldnt forget.

Despite the fact that she had the necessary ability and a little bit of capital to run a small studio, running it was extremely tough, not to mention making it profitable.

At the beginning, everyone underestimated her. Many people thought cheongsams as traditional clothing and were very reluctant to purchase them from a newcomer studio.

For many months after Ji Qingying opened her studio, there was no income.

Only orders from acquaintances giving her face came in.

That was a confusing time for her to say the least. She had wondered then if she was good enough.

She had also spent most of her money that she couldnt afford to hire anyone to help her. During that time, she had to grit her teeth and persist.

She worked on her designs for 10 to sometimes 20 hours a day, every day. Eventually, word-of-mouth from her customers began reaping more orders.

It was only then that she met Xiao Shuang. A little later, Rong Xue would come too.

Everything seemed to be going in the right direction.

Ji Qingying rarely thought of the early days of her business, but on occasion, she would tell the two about them when she was drunk.

She had dug in her heels to persist for long periods of time, and it was a long and arduous vigil.

Thinking back, Ji Qingying realized that each step was a learning experience for hera test to prove her mettle.

Ji Qingying smiled when she thought about it.

How could I forget?

Rong Xue nodded, Yeah! It was so difficult and tiring, but we got through it. This competition is nothing!

Ji Qingying curved her lips upwards and nodded to agree.

After arriving, the two rested for a bit.

Rong Xue was one of her best assistants. Many of Ji Qingyings thoughts could be guessed by her, which gave the two excellent chemistry when cooperating with each other.

Ji Qingying left shortly after settling Rong Xue at her place.

The medical speech competition is today and Fu Yanzhi will be participating. She had to go listen.

It was a very important event.

The requirements to participate were very stringent. After all, the participants could be said to be the future of the industry, and all have worked hard to get where they were.

Fu Yanzhi had gone to the hospital this morning. Today was supposed to be his day off to prepare for the competition, but instead, he went to the hospital for

The venue of the competition was the school attached to their hospital, which had an auditorium.

Fu Yanzhi and Xu Chengli had arrived a little early. Several nurses and colleagues who were also off-duty were also present.

The speech competition was only held once a year.

Everyone was excited about the presentations as many of the participants were talented.

Zhao Yidong happened to be too. She grinned as she spotted the two of them before saying, Dr Fu and Dr Xu, good luck! Im rooting for one of you to win!

Is Nurse Zhao volunteering to treat us after the competition? Xu Chengli in a cheerful banter.

Zhao Yidong pondered before answering, Shouldnt the winner be the one to treat us?

""

Choking, Dr Xu sighed and said, Nurse Zhao is still Nurse Zhao: Stingy!

Nurse Zhao rolled her eyes, Im saving to buy a house! In order to do that, I cant spend indiscriminately!

She really was stingy.

But who can blame her? In order for her to gain a foothold in this city, she needed to work hard and save money.

Despite reports, the pay for medical staff, especially nurses like her, was actually quite low.

Thats why she needed to spend every penny wisely and not be a spendthrift.

Xu Chengli smiled and teased, If youre short on money, Im sure this Dr Xu wouldnt mind helping you out a bit.

Zhao Yidong gave her a blank look, Dr Xu. Please dont show off your wealth! Go and get ready already, since Im waiting for you to treat me to dinner.

After saying that, she looked at Fu Yanzhi and asked, Dr Fu, is Qingying coming?

She will.

He paused and whispered, Please take care of her later for me.

"No problem."

Xu Chengli couldnt help but sourly snort, Certain lecturers already have fangirls ready to cheer for them.

Fu Yanzhi didnt deny it.

Zhao Yidong immediately replied back, Dr Xu. Even without Qingying, Dr Fu still has a lot more fangirls willing to cheer for

""

While their banter continued, Fu Yanzhi phoned Ji Qingying.

"Where are you?"

Im almost there, Ji Qingying replied, but theres a bit of traffic up ahead.

No worries.

Fu Yanzhi said softly, It hasnt even started yet, so you still have time.

"Okay."

Ji Qingying lowered her voice, Just get ready, Dr Fu. Tell me where to go exactly so Ill go there myself.

Ive asked Nursa Zhao to pick you up at the lobby. Just call her when you arrive.

"Mm."

As he hung up, Fu Yanzhi raised his eyes to the stage. His expression was calm.

"Dr Fu."

A familiar voice came from one side.

Fu Yanzhi looked around. It was Liu Man.

Liu Man wore a relatively formal suit. He was slightly shorter than Fu Yanzhi, but his appearance was not bad.

He looked at Fu Yanzhi and smiled, Im looking forward to your wonderful performance, Dr Fu!
