Shixi glanced at Shifeng and did not comment on his praise.

After asking about the matter, Shixi was about to for leave, but was stopped by Shifeng.

“Mom told me to follow you home after work to check if you are living alone and eating passively!”

Thinking of the big and small bags of things that Zhong Weiyu bought yesterday, Shixi was not worried at all.

“Oh!”

Shixi got off work that night and got into Shifeng’s car. However, her colleagues at the hospital happened to see her.

“Hey, look, isn’t that Department Director Shi and Doctor Shi from the surgery department?”

“Yeah, those two…”

This news quickly spread through the small group at the hospital.

…

When Shifeng arrived at Shixi’s apartment and saw that the refrigerator was full, he was relieved.

It was no wonder that his mother wanted him to check on her. When his younger sister first moved out, there was nothing in her home except for instant noodles.

Their mother had nagged at her countless times and even threatened to make her move back home if she didn’t eat properly.

Only then did Shixi started putting her kitchen to good use.

Although Shixi didn’t say anything complimentary about Shifeng’s dinner, she silently ate an extra half of a steamed bun her made.

“I remember mom saying that the blind date she arranged for you can also cook!”

Hearing Shifeng’s teasing, Shixi did not respond.

“It would be good if you can get along with him. From what I know, he won’t do anything to let you down!”

“Brother, I just want to work hard now!”

Shixi was very reluctant to go on this blind date, but she could not avoid it.

“This won’t affect your work. It’s just a meeting and getting to know more people. There’s no harm in it!”

Shifeng obviously agreed with his mother’s arrangement and became a lobbyist for her agenda.

“Mom has already made an agreement with him. You don’t want mom to be in a difficult position, right?”

Shixi didn’t say anything else. Shifeng obviously knew Shixi very well and knew how to use his words to persuade her.

“Don’t think too much. If you’re not willing, we won’t force you to contact him again after the date!”

Shifeng followed his mother’s instructions and checked Shixi’s residence. After convincing Shixi and completing the mission, he left her residence, and returned to his.

…

The next day, when the young nurses of the hospital saw Shixi walk in, they all stopped discussing in low voices.

Shixi did not pay attention to the others’ strange behavior at all. She walked straight to the office and heard Jiangwen’s voice from inside.

“Am I right? Shixi is a vixen. In order to get ahead, she seduced the director!”

A nurse named Yexin said, “If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it!”

“Let’s see how she can squirrel out of allegations this time. That vixen is just waiting to lose her reputation!”

Shixi pushed the door open and stood at the door with her arms crossed. She stared at the two people inside.

Jiangwen and Yexin were first shocked, then they revealed a mocking expression.

“Well, well, well… look who’s here!”

Jiangwen said, “I thought someone was going to ask for an extended leave again!”

Shixi said, “I already gave you guys a chance last time!”

At the mention of this, Jiangwen became even angrier. “I didn’t have any evidence last time, so I let you escape. Let’s see how you’re going to defend yourself today! Just wait for the hospital director to talk to you!”

Shixi did not refute anything. She lowered her head and tapped on her phone a few times.

Just as they were talking, the director of the hospital came over. Shifeng was also with them.

When Jiangwen saw the director, she said, “Director, you’re here because of the message in the group, right? Shixi has already admitted it. She’s been pestering the department director all this while, wanting to rely on the him to rise to the top…”

The person’s expression did not look good. The director simply shouted in a low voice, “Shut up!”

Jiangwen thought that the director did not want to make a big deal out of this and was afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the hospital.

However, she was not willing to give up. This was a good opportunity to topple Shixi. She could not miss it.

“Director, you can’t make a big deal out of this just because this matter involves Department Director Shi. Shixi has done such a shameful thing. If she continues to stay in our hospital, it’s hard to guarantee that she won’t harm others!”

Jiangwen deliberately raised her voice to attract the attention of the patients or their families in the corridor. Soon, many people gathered at the door.

“You’re right. If such a person stays in the hospital, it will indeed damage the reputation of the hospital!”

Shifeng, who was beside the director, suddenly said, “Director, I also think that such a person should be driven out of the hospital immediately!”
