Chapter 549: Why Don’t You Dismiss Her
Su Qingsang drove Huo Jinyao to his office after they had breakfast, and handed him a box full of medicines to take.
“Take the medicine if you are not feeling well. Give me a call if you still don’t feel well. I will come over immediately——”
Huo Jinyao approached her suddenly, and before she could finish her sentence, he kissed her on the lips.
Su Qingsang looked at him, blinking. He moved away after a kiss, with a mischievous smile on his face.
“Don’t worry, Doctor Su. I will take good care of myself.”
He still wasn’t looking too well. His face was a little pale, but she knew that she could not convince him to stay home anymore.
Su Qingsang said nothing more. She thought that she would maybe make a phone call to Yang Wenchang later on, to tell him to keep an eye on Huo Jinyao.
Huo Jinyao took the box of medicines, waved at her, and alighted from the car. He seemed to be in a good mood. However, Su Qingsang’s heart was feeling heavy, thinking about Huo Jinyao. She couldn’t relax even a little bit.
She believed him when he said that he would take good care of himself, but how was he going to do that?
After all, the person who had hurt him was his mother, his birth mother.
What’s worse was that Liu Tongjia dared to make use of the people around him to cause more problems. The issue was far more serious.
She just didn’t know how Huo Jinyao intended to solve the issue.
......
“President Huo? Why did you come to work?”
Yang Wenchang’s eyes were full of surprise when he saw Huo Jinyao at work. “You’ve recovered?”
“Yes.”
“Are you feeling better?”
“Much better.”
Huo Jinyao nodded, and he glanced over at Ding Qing’s office. “Is Ding Qing here yet?”
“Not yet.” Yang Wenchang followed him into the office. “President Huo, are we going to dismiss Ding Qing?”
Huo Jinyao walked to his office desk. He sat down and placed the medicine box on the table. “What do you think?”
Yang Wenchang raised his eyebrows as he thought carefully. “President Huo, you don’t want to dismiss her?”
“Not now.” As Huo Jinyao thought of Liu Tongjia, his expression became hard to read. “She hasn’t made any big mistakes, so what’s the reason we will give if we are going to dismiss her?”
“Are you just going to keep her around like that?”
“Don’t keep her around and let my mother send another busybody, whom I know nothing about?”
There was a tone of sarcasm in his voice. Yang Wenchang didn’t know what to reply to him, so he remained silent.
Huo Jinyao did not need his answer. Keeping Ding Qing around would be better than changing to another person.
“But there are some things that we can keep track of, and make necessary arrangements.”
Huo Jinyao’s eyes were sharp and full of danger when he said that. Yang Wenchang suddenly had a feeling that someone was going to be getting the short end of the stick soon.
Yang Wenchang’s mobile phone rang when they were having a discussion about work. He stared at the number for a moment, glanced at Huo Jinyao, and quickly answered the call.
“Mrs. Huo.” Hearing that attracted Huo Jinyao’s attention immediately, and Yang Wenchang felt an enormous amount of pressure at that moment.
“Assistant Yang, Su Qingsang speaking.” Su Qingsang went straight to the point without getting into any formalities with Yang Wenchang. “Jinyao has not fully recovered. But he insisted that he had work to do. I couldn’t stop him from going to work but do pay more attention to him today. If he relapses, you must call me immediately.”
“I will, Mrs. Huo.”
“Keep a close eye on him. Get him something light for lunch. Don’t let him work overtime tonight. And, just decline any social engagements.”
“Yes, I will.”
“There is nothing else important I need to say. Thank you for working hard.”
“No. It’s not hard work.”
Yang Wenchang ended the call and looked at Huo Jinyao. “It’s a call from Mrs. Huo. She has asked me to keep an eye on you, and not let you tire yourself out too much.”
Huo Jinyao finally had a faint smile showing on his face.
He remembered how worried Su Qingsang had been when he wanted to come out of the house. She repeatedly told him that he must look after himself, and that warmed his heart.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a few grasshoppers. I will not let them buzz around for too long.”
Now that he had seen through their conspiracies, how could he let them continue executing their plans?
......
“Doctor Su, am I very ill?”
The patient’s voice pulled Su Qingsang’s attention back from the diagnostic report in her hands. She looked up at the person in front of her.
“It’s not very serious. It is just a small cyst. Take some anti-inflammatory medications, then pay attention to your diet and rest, and you’ll be just fine.”
“This... This doesn’t need to be removed? Will the medications work? Can I get surgery?”
“Ms. Zhang, take a look. The cyst is less than two centimeters, so it is actually just an inflammation. You just need to take some medications and rest well. It will shrink and dissolve naturally. Under normal circumstances, we would not recommend getting surgery, as it is not necessary at all.
“Alright then. I’ll listen to you.”
“I’ll prescribe some medications for you, and you can just take this to the pharmacy to get them.” After Su Qingsang finished her sentence, she added, “The money for these medications can be reimbursed if you have medical insurance. So, don’t worry.”
“Alright. Thank you.”
After sending the patient off, there weren’t any other consultations. Su Qingsang stood up, rubbed her shoulders, and walked back towards her office.
She had lost her focus for a while just now. The truth was that on one hand, she was worried about Huo Jinyao, and if he would be able to handle the work today.
On the other hand, she was still thinking about the kidnapping incident that Liu Tongjia had told her about.
Liu Tongjia had lost two children at once, so it was not unusual that she was taking her anger out on Huo Jinyao. That could the reason a misunderstanding between the two of them.
Should she help Huo Jinyao to resolve this misunderstanding with Liu Tongjia?
There would not be a single child who does not desire maternal love. She believed that Huo Jinyao was no exception.
What did actually happened that year? If she can’t get the whole story by asking Liu Tongjia, could she possibly ask Old Master Huo?
Or, could she just ask Huo Jinyao directly?
With this thought in mind, she couldn’t help but take out her mobile phone to call Huo Jinyao.
His voice was still sounding a little hoarse in the morning, and she had asked Yang Wenchang to get him some lozenges.
“Darling.”
“It’s me.” Su Qingsang was relieved that his voice had gotten better. “How are you? Are you feeling better?”
“Yes, I am.”
“That’s good.” Su Qingsang paused for a moment, as she didn’t know how to voice out her queries.
“What’s wrong?” Huo Jinyao noticed the pause in her voice. “Is something wrong?”
“I just want to ask you ——” Her following words went a long way around her mind, but what came out of her mouth was, “have you eaten?”
“Not yet. Wenchang has ordered take-out for me. It will be delivered later.”
“Take-out?” Su Qingsang frowned without realizing. “Don’t you have a cafeteria downstairs?”
“He said that one of the hotel restaurants served good soup. He said it nourishes the stomach.”
“That’s good then.” There was a moment of silence again. Su Qingsang bit her lips, and she walked to the end of the corridor with her phone.
“Darling?” Huo Jinyao called her again. “Is there anything else?”
“Huo Jinyao.” Su Qingsang felt her palms sweating. However, she was not facing Huo Jinyao directly at that moment, so she felt a little more confident in asking him what she wanted to.
“I, I heard something.”
“What?”
