Complicated Substitute
In her eyes, she probably thought that after she invited him to dinner, she wouldn’t owe him, instead, he would be owing her. Ye Mo did not like these girls who were so up of themselves at all.
“You mean to say that because you feel you owe me, so you want to invite me for food, is that right?” Ye Mo asked blandly.
“Yes, yes, just like that.” Su Mei finally felt happy after Ye Mo understood what she meant. She felt as though she was relieved.
“How much are you willing to spend for inviting me to food?” Ye Mo’s words fazed Su Mei for a bit.
“Ugh…. Ah….. I was thinking of going to the Ju Wei restaurant in the school for a meal. It should be around 300.” Although she didn’t understand what Ye Mo’s words mean she was still able to react.
“Oh, do you have 200 dollars cash on you right now?” Ye Mo looked at Su Mei still expressionlessly.
Su Mei sneered in her mind. What are you pretending. Pretending to be cool and yet you’re asking to borrow my money. It looked those flowers were indeed for someone else. He probably acted like this because I took your flowers. She was still thinking about whether to invite him to dinner after lending the money to him or not. She wasn’t expecting this money to be returned anyways.
“I’m thinking that since it’ll be 300 dollars for a mean and I would probably eat about two thirds. That would be 200 dollars and you have given that to me meaning that you have already invited me for food. Now, we don’t owe each other anything. Don’t disturb me anymore.” Ye Mo took the 200 dollars and turned to leave.
“You…..” Su Mei caught on to reality after a long while. There was actually this type of people in the world. She was so furious that she almost couldn’t breathe. Who did he think he was? An impotent man acting like he was top shit. Did he forget that he was impotent?
……
What made Ye Mo curious was that he had already finished eating at school and still didn’t find anyone suspicious following him. He didn’t think that Zheng Wenqiao would let things go like this. Hmm.. it seemed that he really has patience.
Just when Ye Mo went back to his residence, he saw Xu wei with a face full of worry walking around the outside of his room. So, he asked with curiosity: “Xu Wei whats wrong? You look like an ant on a stove.”
“Ye Mo, you’re finally back. Can you help me out, I’m really have something urgent today but I agreed to help Zhou Yun take her night shift.” As soon as Xu Wei saw Ye MO, she immediately became overjoyed and walked up to him.
“What can I help you with?” Ye Mo asked curiously.
“It’s like this, I was supposed to take Zhou Yun’s shift today but now I have something urgent. Can you take the shift for me? It’s only a few hours and you can finish at 12am.” Xu Wei said with an urgent face.
Ye Mo had black lines down his head and was almost speechless: “I’m a jobless person and you want me to take your shift in the hospital. Do you have a fever?”
“Didn’t you say you know some medicine? In actual fact, you can still take the shift for me even if you don’t know anything because my job at night is just to measure body temperature. You only need to take a thermometer and give it to the patients and they can measure it themselves. Then you can just record it and according to the temperature, put them on the waiting list. I’ll give Xiao Wu a call later and ask her to teach you. You can learn it in a few minutes.” After Xu Wei finished, he looked at Ye Mo with hopeful eyes.
Ye Mo looked Xu Wei speechlessly, it was really simple. Ye Mo had a good impression of Xu Wei who invited him for dinner so he thought and said: “I can help you but what if a manager checks and found out about it?”
“Don’t worry, the managers won’t go to the reception. There are definitely no managers at night and even if they do go for checks, it would be at the specialisation wards. On top of that, you’ll be wearing a face mask, who would know who you really are?” Xu Wei said with certainty.
Ye Mo thought to himself: “Of course I won’t worry. Even if they find out I didn’t work there, the one who gets punished isn’t me.”
Seeing that Ye Mo agreed, Xu Wei gave her lanyard card to Ye Mo and hurried packing up her bag before leaving. Seeing as how she was calling as she was walking with her eye brows frowned, Ye Mo knew that she was probably in some really sticky situation.
Just in case, Ye Mo still brought his little medical kit. He didn’t think that the medical kit he prepared for his stall which hadn’t been used before was used for the first time in a proper hospital.
Probably because Xu Wei rung Xiao Wu before, Xiao Wu pulled down her mouth mask ask soon as Ye Mo came to Li Kang hospital reception: “You are Ye Mo right? Wear your white gown first. Let me tell you, it’s very easy, this is the record and thermometer, just leave everything else to me.”
Ye Mo then understood how easy it really was and there weren’t much patients at night. Even if he didn’t come, Xiao Wu could probably have managed herself.
“we’re just afraid that we will get a sudden burst of patients at night and I won’t be able to manage. Then we will get complained by patients. It is very serious matter if a patient complained about a doctor not coming. Zhou Yun is still in her trial period and that is all the more reason she must come. Usually, it’s little children who come at night, either in a cold or fever.” Xiao Wei seemed to see Ye Mo’s confusion and explained.
Ye Mo had understood. The reason that he was needed to take the shift was because they were afraid of patient complaint saying that there was only one person at reception. In that case, the one who didn’t come would be punished severely.
Xiao Wu was a girl was a round face and had two dimples when she smiled. She looked amicable. As expected, just past 6pm, the patients started to increase and it was just as Xiao Wu said, they were mostly some little children either having a cold or fever. If it was just Xiao Wu by herself, she really wouldn’t be able to take care of things.
At around 11pm, everyone was basically finished work and the hospital started to quieten down leaving Ye Mo and Xiao Wu some free time.
When Xiao Wu saw there weren’t much people left, she said to Ye Mo: “I’ll go get something to eat, I have a night shift, do you want anything?”
Ye Mo waved his hand. He wasn’t hungry yet. Seeing Xiao Wu walk out, he also carried his medical brief case to the toilet. The reason he did so was because he understood how much the contents of it was worth. There were people coming and going at the reception. Although it was at night, but if someone just took it for convenience, then his few days of hard work and tens of thousands of dollars spent would have all been for nothing.
“You come with me, I have some things that I need you to help with.”
A middle aged doctor wearing a white gown coincidentally met Ye Mo who just came out of the toilet and stopped him.
Ye Mo didn’t even want to pay attention to this guy but after thinking about how his tone sounded like a supervisor or something and if he knew he was taking a shift for Xu Wei, then he would probably give Xu Wei a hard time. Never mind, I’ll think of it as helping Xu Wei.
The doctor took Ye Mo to the emergency ward and asked: “Which ward are you from?”
Ye Mo thought with this guy’s age, if he told him which ward he was he would probably know. If he happened to say the wrong one, it wouldn’t good. Therefore, he could only say: “I’m here because…..”
Before Ye Mo could find an excuse, this doctor’s phone started ringing. He picked up and only said a few sentences before getting angry. He had an argument through the phone for quite a while before hearing him say: “ divorce then, you shameless…..”
Finishing his call, this middle aged man couldn’t be bothered with Ye Mo anymore. He took his clothes off and took a bag before turning to leave.
Ye Mo thought to himself, this guy really does what he likes. He leaves before finishing time and argues about divorce with his wife. It was only 11pm. But Ye Mo was also speechless. The doctor called him here and then left before even telling him anything. No wonder this guy’s wife was divorcing him.
Just when Ye Mo stood up, a nurse and a twenty year old girl walked a 60 year old elderly here. Ye Mo could tell by their footsteps that the situation was urgent.
“Who are you? Where is doctor Cui?” Although Ye Mo had a mouth mask, this nurse could tell he wasn’t doctor Cui with just one glance and asked worriedly.
“Oh, he just left and I’m taking a shift for someone, it’s for…..” before Ye Mo finished saying he was taking a shift for Zhou Yun, this nurse interrupted him.
“Then hurry up and give this elderly a check up, he feels pain everywhere and can’t even talk anymore…..” The nurse helped the elderly with a pale face to the bed and was ready to assist him in the procedures.
