Wang Shuqiu might have arranged to et her colleagues quite early. Du Heng wasn't even at work yet, and she had already arrived.
She tossed Du Heng the car keys, grabbed a large suitcase, and was ready to leave.
"Where are you all heading off to?" Du Heng asked casually as he waited with Wang Shuqiu for her ride.
Wang Shuqiu seed very excited. "They said we're going to drive along the Qinghai-Tibet line, then head into Shuchuan for a tour, and finally return via Ganna."
Du Heng was surprised. "A road trip, huh?"
"Yeah, driving ourselves! We can go wherever we want and stop whenever we feel like it."
"How many of you are going?"
"Four. Don't worry, all four of us have driver's licenses."
Du Heng clicked his tongue twice.
A road trip... are they underestimating it? The Qinghai-Tibet line, no less. I bet after one day of driving, once the initial excitent wears off, none of them will want to touch the steering wheel.
"Should I give you a ride to et them?"
"No need. You'd just have to drive back again; it's not worth the trouble. We'll ssage you when we set off."
"Alright then, be careful. And send a ssage every day to let know you're safe."
After seeing Wang Shuqiu into her car, Du Heng took out his phone and transferred 20,000 yuan to her.
It's better to be frugal at ho and well-provisioned on the road. Since she's going out to have fun, she should do so to her heart's content.
Upon returning to his office, Du Heng imdiately summoned Qian Lizhen, the newly appointed doctor of the Departnt of Preventive Healthcare, and Huo Yinhua.
Then he assigned them a task: to go into the villages and conduct seminars on reproductive safety. Their focus was to be on won who were already pregnant. While registering and keeping records of these won, they were to do their utmost to encourage them to undergo prenatal examinations, make them understand the importance of these check-ups, and instill in them the awareness that childbirth should take place in hospitals.
Giving birth at ho was simply too dangerous.
Once the tasks were assigned, Huo Yinhua had no objections. Instead, Qian Lizhen, who had been quiet the whole ti, was very unhappy.
However, Du Heng didn't care in the slightest whether she was happy or not. As long as she did the work he assigned, that was all that mattered.
Afterward, he paid no mind to how they would handle the matter, simply gathered his things, and began his own day's work.
He was busy until the afternoon when Gu Ping called to discuss the follow-up visits. Just as he was about to hang up, Du Heng suddenly called out, "Gu, be my assistant tomorrow. Do you have ti?"
Gu Ping was taken aback by the sudden invitation. "Mr. Du, are you holding consultations tomorrow?"
"It's like this: the Municipal Criminal Police Team has invited to conduct dical examinations for them. I was hoping you could be my assistant for the day. If you can't adjust your schedule, it's alright; I can find soone else."
On the other end of the line, Gu Ping was stunned and montarily speechless.
It wasn't until Du Heng prompted him again that he hurriedly replied, "Mr. Du, please wait a mont. Let talk to the Director. It should be fine."
"Alright, go ask him quickly, and let know once you have an answer."
He had just hung up when another call ca in. It was Zhou Yixian.
It was nothing urgent. After briefly discussing a patient's condition, Zhou Yixian brought up the matter of fees.
Regarding this, Du Heng was indifferent; he could accept any amount, whether large or small.
Before that conversation ended, Gu Ping called back, his voice brimming with excitent.
Yet Gu Ping's excitent was nothing compared to that of another person: Wu Shengnan.
「The next day, as dawn was breaking,」
Du Heng got up to wash and saw a person in a police uniform standing in the yard.
Holding his washbasin, Du Heng looked rather glum. "Ms. Wu, isn't this a bit too early?"
Wu Shengnan's excitent was written all over her face. "Not at all! By the ti we get to the station, they'll just be starting their workday."
Seeing Du Heng standing still with the washbasin, she quickly urged him, "Hurry up and wash! We can leave as soon as you're done."
Du Heng found Wu Shengnan's excitent sowhat baffling.
Even if I were to examine everyone in their team, what does that have to do with her? Why is she so worked up about it?
"Ms. Wu..."
"Don't be so formal. Just call Shengnan."
This woman is truly hard to figure out. When we first t, she was incredibly haughty, as if everyone was after sothing from her. The second ti we t, she surprisingly didn't refuse and even had drinks with . The third eting was even more outrageous; she directly asked to go to their workplace to conduct dical check-ups. This is only our fourth eting today, right? And she's already telling to call her Shengnan. Tsk, tsk, this relationship is progressing by leaps and bounds!
Du Heng, with his limited experiences, found her eagerness quite unsettling.
"Sheng... Shengnan, tell the truth. Why are you so invested in this?"
"It's nothing, just genuinely concerned about my colleagues."
"Are you going to tell or not? If not, I'm not going today," Du Heng threatened.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shengnan fell for this tactic and quickly said, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you."
"The truth now, don't even think about deceiving ."
"I want to do sothing for everyone so they'll agree to my transfer to the front-line team."
Du Heng reached up and scratched his head. "So, what are you now?"
"Internal work."
What a character! She doesn't want a comfortable job, preferring instead to rush into the exhausting and arduous front-line work. Any man who marries such a woman is in for a world of unending trouble. This lifeti, he could forget about eating a hot al she cooked; he'd probably have to cook for her every day. And that's not even ntioning taking care of children or managing the household.
Du Heng walked listlessly towards the washroom. He was rely curious about her reasons; he didn't actually care whether or not she could really transfer to the front-line team.
