238: Chapter 238 Disruptive Interest

Shen Yan replied with a wry smile, "Can't I just ask for time off because I miss you and want to go on a date with you?"

Hearing this, Liu Hui's face immediately turned red. She stammered to Shen Yan, "I... I don't believe you! With your workaholic nature, you wouldn't take leave just because you wanted to date me..."

Shen Yan smiled and shook his head, taking out a gift he had specially prepared from his pocket and handing it to Liu Hui.

"Believe it or not, we are definitely going out on a date today. This is a gift I bought for you on the way. Open it and take a look."

Liu Hui happily accepted the gift and opened the box.

"A keychain!"

Shen Yan nodded.

"Weren't you discussing this keychain with Xiao Ya the other day? I thought you might like it, so I bought it."

Receiving a gift she liked, Liu Hui smiled so broadly her teeth showed. She looked up and asked Shen Yan, "This keychain is a limited edition. How did you manage to buy it?"

Shen Yan gave a mysterious smile and replied, "I used a secret power to get it. As for what that secret power is... I'm not telling you!"

Liu Hui blushed and lightly punched him with her fist.

"You're so naughty!"

Just as the two were flirting in the office, someone suddenly pushed open the door.

"Dr. Liu!"

The person who entered was a young woman.

Seeing a man in the office besides Liu Hui, the girl was startled.

"Who... who are you!"

Seeing the girl's startled reaction, Liu Hui quickly said to her, "Xiao Ting! This is my boyfriend!"

As soon as the words fell, the girl calmed down.

Her surprised gaze turned into curiosity.

She looked at Shen Yan and asked him, "Are you the boyfriend Dr. Liu is always talking about?"

Hearing this, Liu Hui's face instantly turned even redder. She stammered to stop the girl, saying, "Xiao Ting! What are you saying? When did I talk about you all the time?"

Shen Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "That's right, I am the boyfriend your Dr. Liu often mentions. My name is Shen Yan."

The girl's eyes lit up as she looked at him, "Dr. Liu was right, you really are handsome, even more handsome than the big handsome guys in the entertainment industry!"

Liu Hui couldn't take it anymore. She raised her hand and lunged toward the girl, looking like she was about to cover the girl's mouth.

"Xiao Ting! Shut up for me!"

The two playfully bickered and soon walked out of the office.

While Shen Yan was watching the fun from the side, other voices suddenly sounded from outside.

"Oh ho, isn't this Dr. Liu?"

As the voice faded, both Xiao Ting's and Liu Hui's expressions changed.

They stiffly adjusted their clothes and turned to the person behind them, saying, "Director Lian."

Since Shen Yan was still inside the office, he couldn't see the face of the person speaking outside, only discerning that this Director Lian was a woman.

At this moment, Director Lian was still speaking.

"It's working hours right now. What is the meaning of you two fooling around during work hours! What if a patient sees you playing around here?"

Liu Hui replied expressionlessly to Director Lian, "All the patient slots have been diagnosed. There won't be any patients coming up at this time."

Director Lian didn't listen to her at all.

"Even if there are no patients, you still can't be fooling around with your colleague here. It's completely improper conduct!"

"Also! What kind of garbage are those reports you submitted last time! Do you know the Hospital Director is very angry about this!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ting mumbled quietly, "This wasn't our task originally. It's already very kind of us to help you do it!"

Although she said it very quietly, Director Lian still heard what she said.

"Chen Tingting! What do you mean by that? Do you mean that if it's not your job, you don't have to do it anymore!"

"Why do you think I assigned this report to you? I did it to cultivate your abilities! You have such a good superior, and instead of cherishing the opportunity, you even dare to badmouth me behind my back!"

Wow!

How could someone be so shameless?

Shen Yan wondered, while curiously walking toward the outside.

He wanted to see just who this shameless Director Lian was.

When he walked out, he found that this Director Lian was not the forty or fifty-year-old director he had imagined, but a young woman who looked to be in her thirties.

The moment he saw her, she also saw him.

As soon as she saw him, a look of astonishment quickly flashed in her eyes.

"You... who are you?"

Seeing him come out, Liu Hui quickly pushed him back into the office, "He is my boyfriend. He came up to chat with me about something."

Hearing that he was Liu Hui's boyfriend, Director Lian's expression quickly turned cold.

"Liu Hui, oh Liu Hui! You are becoming more and more unmotivated. Don't think that just because you've worked at this hospital for a few years, you can be like those old hands, bringing all sorts of shady people up here to cause trouble."

"The hospital is for treating the sick and saving lives, not a place for you young couples to date!"

"Forget it, talking to you is useless. You won't get your bonus this month."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ting immediately couldn't hold back.

"It's shift change time. What's wrong with Dr. Liu having her boyfriend come up to pick her up?"

"The two of them didn't do anything excessive, why should you dock Dr. Liu's bonus?"

Hearing the question, Director Lian glanced faintly at Xiao Ting and said, "Since you want to stand up for Dr. Liu so much, then you won't get your bonus this month either."

After speaking, she turned and walked away.

It wasn't until Director Lian's back completely disappeared from the second floor that Liu Hui pulled the indignant Xiao Ting back into the office.

"Alright, stop being angry. You know what she's like. You shouldn't have spoken up for me just now."

Xiao Ting pouted aggrievedly.

"But I truly couldn't stand it. If it weren't for her father being the Hospital Director, how could she have gotten the position of Director at such a young age?"

"In my opinion, she's just jealous that you're pretty and have a handsome boyfriend, which is why she targets you everywhere!"

Liu Hui pinched Xiao Ting's cheek and said to her, "Anyway, we just need to do our own jobs well. Your bonus was docked because of me, so I will cover your bonus for this month."

Xiao Ting's eyes widened, and she waved her hands to refuse, "How can that be? Your bonus has already been docked, how can you cover mine too?"

As she finished speaking, Shen Yan, who had been silent beside them, finally spoke up.

"Don't be polite with us. Just let us cover your bonus for you."

Xiao Ting was a doctor who had only recently finished her internship. Her wallet was as flat as a piece of paper; she simply couldn't afford the penalty of having her bonus docked.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally agreed.
