CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: RECOGNIZE YOURSELF

"I understand."

Zhao Heng nodded, clearing up many of the doubts in his heart.

It can be said that Gao Jun had already been completely open with Zhao Heng.

"Teacher, about Wang Qiang’s matter?"

Zhao Heng couldn’t help but ask.

"Don’t get distracted. You don’t need to worry about this. These little tricks aren’t worth mentioning."

Gao Jun waved his hand and said.

"Hmm."

Zhao Heng wasn’t particularly bothered about what others thought; he just found it a bit disgusting.

After speaking, Gao Jun went out.

The experience from the old professor instantly established miraculous achievements, making Zhao Heng deeply aware of how precious the integrated experience from the old professor in his mind was.

As Zhao Heng was organizing his experience, he suddenly heard a voice.

"I heard you turned the tide today?"

When Zhao Heng looked up, it turned out to be Xu Man Ni.

"I just happened to come across it, it’s not that exaggerated."

Zhao Heng said indifferently.

"That’s not what I heard. Whether it’s TEE or superior vena cava catheterization, not many in the whole anesthesiology department can do it. This can’t be a coincidence."

Xu Man Ni smiled and said.

The more impressive Zhao Heng was, the happier she felt.

When no one knew about Zhao Heng, she was already familiar with him. Watching someone grow step by step gave her a sense of pride and satisfaction.

To put it metaphorically, it’s like playing a nurturing game, right?

"Sis, do you think I’ve unintentionally offended someone recently?"

Looking at Xu Man Ni, Zhao Heng suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Man Ni’s expression stiffened, as she was very concerned about Zhao Heng’s matters.

Zhao Heng recounted the incident with Wang Qiang.

Although Gao Jun said he would handle it, Zhao Heng felt that this feeling of having someone watching from behind was really unsettling.

"I know who it is now."

As Zhao Heng spoke, Xu Man Ni immediately matched the description in her mind.

"Speaking of which, it might be that I dragged you into this."

Xu Man Ni said apologetically.

"Huh?"

Zhao Heng looked puzzled. Wasn’t this supposed to be about him? How did Xu Man Ni drag herself into it?

"You know Yin Jian, right? He’s been pestering me lately, and maybe he heard something and is targeting you."

Xu Man Ni sighed and said.

Considering someone like Yin Jian, who was well-connected, she really didn’t know how to handle it.

"Is this person so petty?"

Zhao Heng felt like he was caught in the crossfire while lying down.

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle this."

Xu Man Ni said, frowning.

It seems she would have to ask her uncle, Xu Wenqiang, to come forward and knock some sense into Yin Jian.

"This guy is really devious."

Even Zhao Heng was gaining insight.

Inciting his classmate Wang Qiang, exploiting jealousy among peers to stir up trouble.

Whether successful or not, the aim was achieved, which was to really disgust Zhao Heng.

"You better stay away from that classmate of yours in the future. It’s brainless to be so easily used as a tool by others."

Xu Man Ni advised.

"We weren’t close to begin with. I was just minding my business, and suddenly I had to speak for him out of nowhere. It’s really enough."

Zhao Heng was also quite helpless.

Some people just lack a sense of boundaries, to put it bluntly, they don’t understand what kinds of relationships entail what kind of responsibilities.

For instance, if Wang Qiang and Zhao Heng were really close in university, then even without Wang Qiang asking, Zhao Heng would voluntarily help him if he had the capacity.

But if their relationship is just average and he still expects others to do such things, that’s just not clear-headed.

"If you’re a little dumb, there’s hope for saving, but human folly is beyond saving."

Xu Man Ni shook her head and said.

Not everyone is as perceptive as Zhao Heng.

In Eastern Hospital, competition is so fierce that even the slightest opportunity would have many rushing to climb up.

"Why don’t I just tell that Yin Jian that you’re my boyfriend, let him give up?"

Xu Man Ni suggested after a pause.

"This is not good.."

Zhao Heng murmured.

"Why not? Do you really think Yin Jian sincerely wants to pursue me? He’s just interested in my conditions and background."

Xu Man Ni sighed and said.

She didn’t know why, but she now found this focus on conditions and background very repulsive.

Previously, Xu Man Ni was all about the idea of being well-matched in social status.

"Sis, I.."

Zhao Heng wasn’t keen on carrying around the false title of Xu Man Ni’s boyfriend. On one hand, it was an empty title, and on the other, he truly only felt a sense of friendship towards Xu Man Ni.

"Nevermind, I’ll handle it myself."

Seeing Zhao Heng’s troubled look, Xu Man Ni waved her hand and said.

Seeing Zhao Heng’s hesitance, Xu Man Ni suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She kept telling herself that Zhao Heng wasn’t her ideal type, but over time, she found more and more bright spots in him.

Having said that, Xu Man Ni left the lounge, not in a very good mood as she exited.

Not long after, Xu Man Ni arrived at Gao Jun’s office, and as soon as she entered, she sat on the sofa with a face full of displeasure.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing Xu Man Ni like this, Gao Jun asked somewhat puzzledly.

"Isn’t it that pest Yin Jian? Now it’s affecting Zhao Heng."

Xu Man Ni exclaimed.

"I’ll find someone to handle Yin Jian. It’s just a small issue. Your unhappiness probably isn’t just because of Yin Jian, right?"

Gao Jun, with his keen perception and having known Xu Man Ni since childhood, understood her all too well. He could roughly guess what was on her mind.

"You know it and still ask."

Xu Man Ni replied, not in a good mood.

"I’ve told you before, you can’t have everything. Value the person more than the conditions, and if you focus only on conditions, that person will never be ideal. If you want everything, you might end up alone."

Gao Jun said angrily, feeling like he couldn’t get through to her.

"Don’t take advantage of the fact that you’re one year older than me, just because I call you cousin, to lecture me here!"

Hearing Gao Jun say this, Xu Man Ni retorted indignantly.

"Actually, I’m already very clear-headed now, it’s just so hard."

Before Gao Jun could reply, Xu Man Ni murmured to herself again.

"In the past, when those pursuing you didn’t occupy an absolute initiative, you could do as you liked. Now the tables have turned; if you can’t let go of those old attitudes, then be prepared to stay single."

Gao Jun spoke very directly, clearly pointing out that the reason why Xu Man Ni had remained single was largely due to the differences between men and women.

Men can settle down, but the more outstanding a woman is, the less likely she is to settle down.

Truly outstanding men are very rare, and once they appear, many women would set their sights on them simultaneously.

Ask any man, wouldn’t they prefer a gentle and virtuous woman?

"Brother, my dear brother, I haven’t been putting on airs. I even asked him to help me move and invited him to co-rent; isn’t that obvious enough?"

Xu Man Ni said, quite helplessly.
