"So the rumors are true . . . "
"What rumors?" Huo Mian asked with interest .
"The rumor has it that GK's President Qin treasures his wife more than his own life, and he can't even stand women who look like her . . . I guess that's why I was fired . But what about you, Vice Director Huo? Would you randomly fire me and name me guilty for looking like you?"
Huo Mian quickly noticed how smart this woman was . Zhang Manlin practically pushed Huo Mian into a corner . Huo Mian was the vice director of a huge hospital and therefore would seem petty if she fired this woman for looking like her .
However, it was extremely weird for Huo Mian not to fire her, because that meant a woman who looked like her would roam the halls of her hospital .

After a few moments of silence, Huo Mian nodded . "I won't . "
"That's good, then there wouldn't be any problem . Thank you, Vice Director Huo . . . but I'd like to say that my parents gave me this face, and I didn't have a choice either . I'm sure we're not related because I asked our colleagues and our blood types are different . Most importantly, my parents are ordinary farmers and do not have complicated ties to the elite . . . So don't worry, I won't pretend that we're related to get money from you . Thank you for taking the time to speak to me . "
Then, the woman opened Huo Mian's office door and left .
Huo Mian's expression became complicated . Zhang Manlin was neither trying to suck up to Huo Mian nor put her down . She also seemed quite prideful; the more Huo Mian thought about it, the more Zhang Manlin seemed like herself when she was younger .
It was as if she had traveled back in time, to a decade ago . . .

Zhang Manlin was an outgoing woman and even had a tomboy side to her . Therefore, she quickly got along with everyone and was the center of attention wherever she went . She may not be stunningly beautiful, but she was still attractive in her own way .
During that first few days, Zhang Manlin was the only thing that South Side could talk about . Even Director Wu was shocked by how much this woman looked like Huo Mian .
The male physicians, knowing that she was single, all answered her every beck and call . It seemed like everyone, from the doctors and nurses to the patient and anesthesiologist, enjoyed Zhang Manlin's presence and company .
Huo Mian, however, was filled with complicated emotions; she wasn't annoyed or jealous, nor was she happy .
She also couldn't admit that she was okay with this . After all, she wasn't a saint .

-Lunch time, South Side cafeteria -
The seats around Zhang Manlin filled up almost immediately, no matter where she sat .
One of the nurses asked, "Manlin, are you really not related to our vice director?"
"I'm really not, I'm from the suburbs and my parents are both farmers . We don't have relatives as amazing as the vice director . " Zhang Manlin smiled .
"But you guys look so alike! Did you get plastic surgery?" someone else joked .
Not angered by this remark at all, Zhang Manlin replied, "I'm not trying to offend the vice director, but why would I get plastic surgery to look like her? If I were to go under the knife, I would rather look like Beyonce, haha . "
Everyone burst out in laughter .
At this moment, Huo Mian was quietly sitting in another corner of the cafeteria, slowly enjoying her lunch . Chen Jie had been taking care of Ni Yang's mother for the last few days so she had been eating lunch alone .
"Can I sit with you?" The magnetic voice of a man caused Huo Mian to look up .
