174. Cold Smile/175. Home Cooking, Homework

Tang Wan and Ye Xiaofan were at work, and Chen Rui suddenly felt that there was nothing to do. He thought about it and remembered that yesterday Lao Xie had reminded him to go to the hospital to change gauze. After all, with Lao Xie's half-baked level, he could only respond to emergency response, which was a bit unsatisfactory to use. At this time, he naturally thought of Xie Qinglan. He had not contacted her for a while. With her cold temperament, she was basically not very willing to contact Chen Rui, unless there was any test or surgery.

After leaving the house, Chen Rui went to buy a mobile phone first. After he installed it, he found that he had received more than a dozen unread text messages, including Yan Chixue and Cheng Qiyao. The last one was sent by Xie Qinglan last night, with only a few short lines of words: Chen Rui, are you free in the evening? I want to treat you to dinner. We have disappeared for a while.

Chen Rui shook his head, thinking that things are always so coincidental. When the phone is broken, there will always be such a belated text message. However, she asked herself for a few minutes to continue the experiment and dialed Xie Qinglan's phone number. Her cold voice came from the phone: "Chen Rui, did something happen to you yesterday? I can't contact you no matter how?"

"Something happened. The phone got water in. I just bought it. I'll go to your place later. I'll have a little injury on my body. I'll help you deal with it." Chen Rui said lightly. Although her temperament is cold, she still cares about others.

Xie Qinglan's voice did not change at all. She responded softly, and then said, "Then come here quickly, I'll wait for you, have lunch together, I'll treat you." After saying that, her voice suddenly changed, just like a child learning to speak, with a bit of anxiety in her voice: "Are you injured? Is it very serious? Do you want me to drive to pick you up?"

"No need to compare with the time two years ago, there is a negligible minor injury." Chen Rui just finished speaking, and suddenly his eyebrows tightened and asked in surprise: "Qinglan, your voice... do you understand this feeling now?"

"I'm recently receiving auxiliary treatment of instruments. Although the effect is not obvious, it still has a certain effect. I can produce some expressions in the book for those I care about." Xie Qinglan's voice returned to coldness, and then changed the subject: "Come here quickly. I found that I had changed a little last night and wanted to ask you to come out to celebrate. You also know that I have only you, a friend. I didn't expect you to be injured again, so I will celebrate at noon today."

Chen Rui responded and hung up the phone, then let out a long sigh, feeling very comfortable. The thousand-year-old iceberg finally melted a corner. Although it was an inconspicuous progress, it was a bit expected. However, in Chen Rui's opinion, it doesn't matter whether this coldness or not changes. Anyway, he adapted to her way of doing things. It was just the last sentence she said, "I am the only friend," which made him sigh for a while. Such a woman is destined to be lonely."

The car was on the elevated floor and moved along the inner ring to the central ring. Half an hour later, he arrived at Tianai Hospital. He was still wearing a vest and shorts and a pair of slippers on his feet. In this way, he dressed like a family man and entered the dean's office, attracting many nurses' side gaze along the way.

Xie Qinglan was writing something on the desk and explaining the task to a nurse beside her. When she saw Chen Rui coming in, she immediately stood up and greeted the nurse first: "Wait a minute, help me see the wounds of this gentleman." After that, she quickly walked to Chen Rui's side and noticed the naked gauze on his back at a glance. Her pretty eyebrows frowned and said coldly: "Chen Rui, take off the vest, why did you wrap the gauze? There is no technical content at all. I will remove it for you first, and let our nurses beat you again."

The nurse responded first when she talked to Xie Qinglan, and then slowly removed the gauze for Chen Rui. Although the injuries on his back were not serious, they were very large, like broken chickenpox, blurred. Looking at this look, Xie Qinglan shook her head and explained to the nurse a few words. Then Chen Rui lay on the sofa on one side with his back facing up. She leaned against him and sat down coldly: "Although this injury is not serious, if the treatment is not properly done, there will be many problems. Your temperament has not changed at all, and you are still so impulsive. With your skills, I believe this will not be an accident. It must be caused by man. Now that you have retired, it is time to calm down."

"Don't worry about me for now, what is the progress of your problem?" Chen Rui turned his head toward Xie Qinglan and asked curiously, how could this change happen to this woman who was as cold as an iceberg as an iceberg?

Xie Qinglan pressed Chen Rui's slender hand on his shoulder, checked his wound, and said slowly: "I guess there is no complete solution to my problem. My change has reached its limit. At least in terms of expression, it can correspond to my heart. It is to allow me to have some basic mood changes, and there is no possibility of other progress. It is impossible for me to change the idea of ​​rejecting men. But for me, this is enough, this is progress, and I have not mastered this change yet. When I fully master it, I will be satisfied."

Chen Rui listened to the joy that came out of her words, and felt a sense of emotion in her heart. She had just changed a little in her mood, and could produce emotional changes such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Although she had not mastered it yet, at least she had hope. As for her sense of rejection of men, there was no improvement. But even so, she was already satisfied. This made Chen Rui sigh inwardly. Her requirements were really low.

The nurse came back again. Xie Qinglan took a white towel. It was obviously the towel she used to wash her face on weekdays. She soaked it in a basin of normal saline, then wrung it out, and began to scrub Chen Rui's back.

Her fingertips were very thin, and her snow-white fingers formed a sharp contrast with Chen Rui's wheat-colored skin. While she rolled, there was a trace of blood on the towel, but Chen Rui felt a sensation on her back. Although it was a little painful, she felt a lot of comfort.

The nurse was slowly pouring out some ointment and preparing to apply it to Chen Rui's back. Seeing Xie Qinglan's movements, a kind of unhidden surprise floated on the corners of her eyes. You know, Xie Qinglan never contacted a man within one meter distance. Now she is not only sitting next to Chen Rui's side, but also rolling around on his back with the towel for washing her face. Her ringworm is also famous in the hospital, so the nurse's face is very wonderful, and her eyes seem to fall out.

"Director Xie, your illness..." The nurse couldn't help but ask in a low voice, looking at Chen Rui's back, who had become very clean

"It's nothing. This is my friend and the only man I don't reject. Thanks to his help in the past few times, I was able to complete several operations." Xie Qinglan's calm voice came, unstoppable.

The nurse didn't say anything anymore, brought the ointment to Chen Rui and slowly applied it to him. The technique was very skillful and the application was very even. It was far from comparable to Lao Xie's level.

After doing these things, the nurse wrapped gauze on Chen Rui again. Whether it was the technique or the materials, it was very comfortable. Chen Rui sat up straight and straightened his waist. He glanced at Xie Qinglan and thought that it was indeed a professional doctor who made people feel comfortable.

The nurse retreated, Xie Lan threw the vest to Chen Rui, then looked down at the time, and asked coldly: "Chen Rui, go, I'll invite you to go

Your injury will be fully recovered at most half a month. Remember to let those doctors treat you three days later, it is just delaying the time for the wound to heal."

Chen Rui put on a vest and didn't say anything, but thought to himself that Lao Xie is not even a doctor in the martial arts world. But in that case, it is already very lucky that someone can do these things. How can he have so many requirements?

The two left the hospital together. Xie Qinglan wore black tight cropped pants and a black floor skirt. The cold and white face made the sun a little cold. Her soft black hair floated like silk, attracting countless men's pursuit gazes along the way. "Chen Rui, what do you want to eat, you can't eat dumplings this time?" Xie Qinglan's formal outfit, accompanied by Chen Rui's casual dress, was very disharmonious.

"My diet requirements have been raised a lot now, so in my opinion, there are no different restaurants outside. Let's eat whatever you like." Chen Rui remembered Wang Li's cooking skills, and protested in his stomach. He had not eaten Wang Li's dishes for a while, and he really felt empty.

Xie Qinglan looked at him, brushed his fingertips across the bangs on his forehead, and asked hesitantly: "Let's go eat Shandong cuisine, one of the four major Chinese cuisines. You like northern dumplings, and you must also like this authentic northern dish." After saying that, she asked again: "Did you hire a chef at home? When will I try the craftsmanship? What do you mean by what you said is that you have increased your dietary requirements a lot?"

Chen Rui felt relieved. She had a little more diverse emotions inadvertently. In the past, she was always cold to the end, without any ups and downs in the middle. Whether it was hesitation, smile or other emotions, they were all cold expressions. Now these expressions are superimposed on the coldness, so they are charming and intoxicating.

"A little sister came to my house, and her cooking skills are indeed extraordinary. When she comes back from Europe, I will take her to your house and cook a meal for you. I am afraid that you will not be willing to leave after you taste it, so I will lose it." Chen Rui said casually, and then got into the car

Xie Qinglan did not drive her own car, and sat directly in the passenger seat, looked at Chen Rui with a delicate face, and then said coldly: "I don't believe there is also the food you said that makes people never forget. I'll talk about it after I taste it, and see if you are gilding on your face."

After saying that, the corner of her mouth raised, and an indescribable smile appeared. It was a cold smile, like the dizzy sunshine in winter, making people feel a hint of warmth, but it was also very touching.

***************************************

175.

Xie Qinglan and Chen Rui sat on both sides of a long varnished wooden table. She held the menu for a while and then stretched out her fingers and pointed to the dish with a golden and seductive color on the menu. She coldly ordered the first dish to the waiter beside her: "Let's get two kilograms of dumplings first, and you'll need this..."

Chen Rui was speechless and thought that she always felt sorry for dumplings. He just said he didn't want dumplings. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he started eating dumplings again. However, this is also her best rice. It is also possible that she only knows how to make dumplings, but the taste of the buns she made is really wonderful. From this perspective, it is a bit like all her thoughts, which are covered up under the cold appearance. In fact, her inner world should be very colorful, but I just don't know how to express it.

Putting down the menu, Xie Qinglan glanced at Chen Rui, and then said coldly: "Chen Rui, I think I can have more time to handle some things by running a hospital myself. I feel that always working now may also be one of the reasons for my temperament. What do you think?"

"If you think so, I will naturally support you. Since I know you, you work for at least ten hours every day, and you don't even have holidays on you. I can't see any worries. I thought you just like working. Employees like you, no boss doesn't like, even overtime pay. It's not worth it to send a talent like you, but now you finally figured it out. Of course, it's good to do it yourself. I support you. With your reputation, if you want to re-run a hospital, it's better to buy a hospital to save trouble and save a lot of money." Chen Rui took a small plate for her, poured some jealousy, and pushed it in front of her.

Xie Qinglan nodded: "I have thought about this problem too, but acquiring a hospital is also a relatively large project to confirm the other party's financial situation and have some professional skills. I am not proficient in other things except medical skills."

Zhang Qingqing's figure flashed through Chen Rui's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that she was the best candidate, but now his relationship with Zhang Qingqing is a bit stiff. Since that mistake, he has only seen her once. He has never had any contact in the middle. She will not contact Chen Rui on his own initiative. He is not good at taking the initiative to find her in this matter.

"Qinglan, I have a friend who opened an accounting firm. You can ask her for help in this situation. I'll give you a call and you go directly to her, and I'll say it's my introduction." Chen Rui thought about it, but still gave up the idea of ​​contacting Zhang Qingqing. It's better for Xie Qinglan to come forward by himself. According to his experience, women are more serious, and it's better to avoid this kind of thing. Xie Qinglan comes forward by himself, which is much better than him.

Xie Qinglan saw Chen Rui write a note with Zhang Qingqing's name, phone number and company name address, and couldn't help but glance at him and asked coldly: "Is this person trustworthy?"

"She is very professional ethics. You can rest assured that if you have anything to ask me to help you, please inform me. Anyway, I am not as busy as you. I am used to being casual on weekdays, but I have more time." Chen Rui pushed the note in front of her and stretched his waist.

Xie Qinglan didn't say anything, just nodded. With her personality, she was originally very suitable to be a manager. Without too much burden, the rewards and punishments would definitely be clear. And the most important thing is that although she is cold and only has Chen Rui, she has a good popularity. She has a calm temperament and is difficult to make grudges with others. This kind of temperament that is neither hot nor very difficult to get along with is one of the necessary conditions for an excellent leader. It is just that she has never cared about anything other than medical skills. So if she really owns a hospital, it would be a headache. I guess she would spend a lot of time on management.

The dumplings came up, and there were a few special dishes. Chen Rui ate a few dumplings and suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart. This was a wonderful emotion. Although Xie Qinglan was very cold, she often cooked and cooked something. This may be related to her temperament. Many things are actually very simple. In this state, they ordered some things that can be eaten at home. Home-cooked dishes are the warmest and most touching.

"Chen Rui, if you are fine these days, you will accompany me to negotiate. I already have five hospitals in my mind. They are all private hospitals without exception. The management cost is not very good, and the management cost is higher than that of state-owned hospitals. So if I go to discuss the transfer, I should be more sure, after all, everyone is

"Xie Qinglan took a few bites and stopped. Her red lips were seductive.

Chen Rui paused in his heart, thinking that she had put in a lot of effort to study these things in the past few days, otherwise she wouldn't have known so clearly. "Okay, I'll be your free driver these two days, but why are you suddenly so anxious to start a new job?" Chen Rui asked in confusion.

"Actually, it's not recently. We have known each other for two years. Since you returned to Shanghai, I found that you have gradually changed, but you seem to be living comfortably. In the past, you always had an uncomfortable atmosphere, making people feel that you are not an ordinary person. But now you are like a family man, dissipating and faint, which makes me feel a sense of closeness. So I also want to try to change, change the environment and work style, but I can't waste my skills, so I think of becoming a boss by myself." Xie Qinglan glanced at Chen Rui and said softly.

Chen Rui was stunned and sighed in his heart. It turned out that her transformation was because of herself, but everyone's perspectives on the problem were very different. In Tang Wan's view, his sloppyness was just not doing his job, but in Xie Qinglan's view, it was comfortable. This may be related to the difference between them pursuing.

Xie Qinglan always thinks that she is a patient, and her serious rejection characteristics have always been cold, so she likes to be friends with people like Chen Rui, and she is the only friend.

The two of them ate silently without saying anything. Chen Rui kept thinking about what would Xie Qinglan look like if she became the boss of the hospital?

After dinner, they left the hotel and the two returned to the car. Chen Rui patted the steering wheel, turned his head to look at Xie Qinglan sitting beside him and said, "Say, where do you want to go? Which hospital should we start from?"

Xie Qinglan looked at her watch and then said, "I haven't called to talk about this yet. I'm afraid I'm a little inadequate preparation, and I'm not sure if I'll receive us."

"Go first, just call on the road. Negotiation is something that depends on the on-site performance without preparing in advance. Anyway, you have a rough impression of these hospitals and have thought about the price in your mind. It is enough to make the first contact. If the other party is willing, then continue to talk." Chen Rui smiled and said.

Xie Qinglan thought about it, told Chen Rui an address, then took out a notebook from the bag she carried with her, looked through it, and then called: "Is it President Liu? Oh, I am Xie Qinglan... No, I'm making this call, I don't want to change jobs to your place, I want to ask, does your hospital have any idea of ​​transfer? We can negotiate to resolve the price and land matters."

After seven or eight minutes of communication, Xie Qinglan hung up the phone, her expression was still cold. She turned her head and looked at Chen Rui and said, "Okay, the other party agreed to meet us. This is the most promising hospital among the five hospitals I just mentioned. If this one cannot be negotiated, then the other four will have no hope. However, the main problem now is money. It is really difficult to raise these hundreds of millions of funds."

Chen Rui nodded and thought to himself that if you acquire such a hospital, hundreds of millions of funds are the most basic requirement. She can't solve this problem by herself. You should discuss it with those professionals. It would be best if Zhang Qingqing could give an idea. This kind of thing mainly depends on loans.

"Don't worry, let's talk first, let's find a way when the time comes. Let's ask those professionals, they will provide us with some help," Chen Rui said calmly.

Xie Qinglan glanced at Chen Rui, nodded, and stopped talking. The car got off the elevated road, and turned a corner. The hospital was mentioned in front of her. At this time, Chen Rui remembered that this hospital was the hospital where Tang Wan had been admitted. Xie Qinglan had taught a class here. No wonder she said it was the most confident.

After coming out of the parking lot, Chen Rui put his hands in his shorts pockets, accompanied by Xie Qinglan, and walked towards the hospital casually. At this time, he found something unusual in the corner of his eyes. Dozens of gangsters were wandering around the door of the hospital outpatient building, and several of them were still whistling, slutty and frivolous.

This is also a private hospital. There are not many patients coming and going, and the business is very light. This may be the reason why they need to transfer it. After all, the purpose of investment is to make money

Chen Rui and Xie Qinglan entered the hall and immediately attracted the attention of the gangsters. They all stared at Xie Qinglan. This kind of iceberg-like woman is particularly easy to attract men's attention.

But Xie Qinglan didn't have any expression, and Chen Rui just frowned, and his heart became increasingly puzzled. Could it be that the hospital now relies on finding some gangsters to increase popularity?

Xie Qinglan is familiar with the road and came to the dean's office. The director of this hospital is also the boss, and the investor and manager are the same person. This model is not uncommon, especially in private enterprises. This will enable decision-making and investment to be implemented in the idea.

The dean is an old man in his fifties, thin and healthy. When he saw Xie Qinglan, he stood up and greeted him with a smile, but did not dare to get close to her. She had to keep a certain distance between her and a man. This has spread in the circle, mainly because of Xie Qinglan's fame. After all, she is the leading surgeon in China, and even a well-known doctor in the world.

"Director Liu, what are you thinking?" Xie Qinglan sat down and went straight to the point without any prelude.

Chen Rui was stunned and thought to himself that she had just thought her temperament had begun to change, but she didn't expect that she would return to her original form in the blink of an eye. This way of thinking about problems is still so unacceptable.

Dean Liu may have been used to Xie Qinglan's way of speaking. After all, she has been teaching a class for a while here, so he did not look unhappy. He just glanced at Chen Rui in confusion. He sat on the sofa beside her, and when he came in, one by one, one by one, one by one, not even half a meter away. This is obviously a bit strange, but he did not ask this question directly.
