    The two women had different auras about them. Nie Shasha was youthful and pretty, but also seemed like an elite. It was easy to tell that she wasn’t someone who was easy to get along with. She had short hair, and was approximately 1.65 meters tall. She also wore light makeup together with a ck leather jacket and pants. Her shoes were dark red. She wasn’t the type who would attract much attention, but upon closer look, she seemed like a small wild horse.


    The other woman was someone that Zhang Fan had previously met. She was Qin Rongyu, who had a different aura about her. She seemed to be the generous and overly serious type. Since she was already in her 30s, she was wearing a drab grayrge jacket. However, Zhang Fan felt as if she was simr to Superintendent Ouyang!


    Ma Wentao and Zhang Fan swiftly walked up to the two women. Before they could say anything, Qin Rongyu smiled and spoke first. “Long time no see, Doctor Zhang. We meet again.”


    “Hello, Miss Qin!” Right after Zhang Fan said this, she immediately reached out her hand for a handshake.


    “I didn’t expect that we would meet so soon again after ourst meeting. Thank you so much for performing surgery on my younger brother. He’s recovering quite well. I’ll make sure that he personallyes to thank you after he leaves the hospital!”


    “You’re being too polite. It’s good as long as he’s recovering. There’s no need for this!” Zhang Fan felt rather awkward about this. He had also not expected to see her so quickly again after he took the previous payment from her. He still wasn’t ustomed to this! He was still the easily embarrassed type!


    “What, aren’t you going to introduce us, Sister Qin?” Nie Shasha suddenly said as she smiled while standing to the side. Nie Shasha’s voice was clear, and carried an obvious Beijing ent. Although she and Qin Rongyu were in a coborative partnership, things between women wouldn’t be that simple. Besides, they were both ambitious businesswomen. The two of them had beenpeting with each other even while simply standing there!


    “Haha, sure!” Qin Rongyu nced at Nie Shasha. Qin Rongyu’s slightly arched lips revealed that she was in fact quite pleased right now. This was because Nie Shasha had acted quite forcefully so far with her, which made her rather ufortable, but Nie Shasha finally adopted a humbler attitude here in front of this hotel.


    “This is Zhang Fan, the Doctor Zhang who performed surgery for my younger brother!” Qin Rongyu then introduced Nie Shasha to Zhang Fan. “This is Nie Shasha, or President Nie. The two of you will surely interact often with each other in the future. She’s a woman, so she might have a bit of a temper sometimes. Doctor Zhang, please don’t pay it any heed!”


    “Nice to meet you! Judging from your ent, you must be from northwestern China, Doctor Zhang?” Nie Shasha ignored Qin Rongyu’s veiled insult, and reached out her hand for a handshake. She had investigated everything there was to know about Zhang Fan already. She was pointing out Zhang Fan’s background in order to steal the initiative back from Qin Rongyu again. Maybe normal people would think that such small wars of words were boring, but for people like these two women, they would enjoypetition amongst equals more than anything.


    “Yes, I’m from the northwest!” Zhang Fan was far less awkward when facing Nie Shasha—he had never taken anything from her before, which was why he wouldn’t feel awkward!


    “Let’s go inside the hotel first. It’s a bit cold standing around outside,” said Ma Wentao. This was because he could tell from Nie Shasha’s expression that she was highly interested in Zhang Fan. Although Ma Wentao had had nothing but nice discussions with Nie Shasha so far, he understood quite well that she was filled with schemes. He was worried that Zhang Fan might fall for one of her schemes!


    Nie Shasha smiled and let go of Zhang Fan’s hand after the handshake. She was young and quite intelligent, and liked to have fun. Many men were trying to romance her. It was quite easy for her to toy with such youngsters. Since Nie Shasha was beautiful and came from an excellent family, even outstanding youngsters would try their best to romance her. That was why Ma Wentao was a bit worried.


    Qin Rongyu gently pulled on Ma Wentao’s arm and walked in the front. Nie Shasha and Zhang Fan walked together after them. “Doctor Zhang, are you going to focus on general surgery in the future?” Although Superintendent Lu’s attitude towards him had been one of anger at wasting his talent, Nie Shasha felt that Zhang Fan probably counted as Superintendent Lu’s disciple, which was why she asked this.


    Zhang Fan didn’t know that Nie Shasha already knew almost everything there was to know about him already. “I still haven’t decided yet. I’ll decide things as theye!”


    “You’re right. You should probably think such things through first. Doctor Zhang, have you considered going to work in Beijing before?” Nie Shasha was highly curious about Zhang Fan. He was someone who had barely managed to graduate from medical college, yet he had suddenly be an expert surgeon after only a bit more than a year of working. This could only be exined that he was an incredible genius! Although Nie Shasha also understood that he had to be very hardworking, the field of medicine wasn’t something that could be conquered with only hard work!


    “I still haven’t considered it, but I’ll be going there sooner orter. It’s only natural for me to want to see the rising Chinese g and the capital of our country.”


    “Haha, Doctor Zhang is quite interesting!” Nie Shasha smiled like a blooming flower.


    Their private room in the restaurant wasn’t veryrge. However, it also wasn’t a small room if there were only to be four people.


    Zhang Fan saw Yang Lu in front of the private room. He voluntarily greeted Yang Lu. “Hello, Manager Yang!”


    He really liked the personal set of surgical equipment that she had given to him. That was why his greeting truly came from the heart.


    “Hello, Doctor Zhang! Please enter!” Since the big boss of herpany was here, Yang Lu acted like the professional business elite that she was. She didn’t act too subserviently or arrogantly, while maintaining a friendly passion. Ma Wentao felt like he discovered something through the way that the two interacted with each other.


    Although Ma Wentao had yet to discuss business specifics with Nie Shasha yet, he made up his mind that no matter how many stock options he had to sacrifice, he could never allow her to take Zhang Fan away from him. Zhang Fan was at the very core of Ma Wentao’s future business n. Zhang Fan would be his new hospital’s greatest appeal. That was why Ma Wentao was willing to sacrifice anything else in negotiation in exchange for Zhang Fan!


    “It’s not lively enough here with so few people. How about I send someone to pick up your girlfriend and bring her here?” Ma Wentao offered to Zhang Fan. Ma Wentao’s expression seemed to be incredibly serious for once as he said this!


    Ma Wentao’s impression of Zhang Fan was that thetter was a youngster who had barely seen any of the world before. He felt that Zhang Fan wasn’t very greedy for either money or power. However, Ma Wentao had once been Zhang Fan’s age before. He was worried that someone as young as Zhang Fan might be seduced by Nie Shasha’s good looks and fall head over heels in love with her.


    “She’s still busy studying. Not to mention, I didn’t tell her beforehand that she would be invited. Let’s just forget about it!” Zhang Fan knew that Shao Hua had been rather tired from studying recently. The ounting examination was also rather difficult, with many topics ranging from basic theory to relevant Chinesews. You would need to be excellent at math as well as have an excellent memory in order to pass the ounting examination.


    “Oh! Then forget about it!” Ma Wentao had already achieved his objective as he had simply wanted to bring up Shao Hua’s name to remind Zhang Fan not to cheat on his girlfriend!


    “It’s just a simple meal that probably won’t take up too much time. How about I have Manager Yang go pick up your girlfriend?” Nie Shasha offered to Zhang Fan.


    “There’s truly no need. Not only did I not tell her beforehand, it would be best if I don’t interrupt her ns that she made already,” Zhang Fan answered seriously.


    Zhang Fan personally found meals to talk about business like this one incredibly boring. That was why he wanted even less to waste Shao Hua’s time like this.


    The food began to arrive. The hostess Nie Shasha began to hand out tes and cups to everyone. Zhang Fan wasn’t a drinker, and none of the women tried to force him to drink.


    The meal ended quite quickly. Everyone moved to another private room after dinner was over. Zhang Fan was bing very impatient by now.


    ‘What is there to say for today? Can’t we just directly say it!? Being so vague and roundabout is ridiculous!’ Zhang Fan was bing frustrated.


    “Doctor Zhang, what type of tea do you like to drink? Oolong tea? Melon slice green tea?” Nie Shesha spoke up in a gentle tone.


    “I don’t like drinking tea. Just in and regr water is fine for me.”


    “Haha!” Ma Wentao couldn’t help butugh out loud at hearing his. He now felt reassured because he understood Zhang Fan already. He knew that Zhang Fan had be impatient.
