Chapter 1945 The Storm Before Awakening (3)
Ye Luo's tone, far from being comforting, was clearly warning Dennis politely: Don't get complacent too soon.
If you look carefully, you can still see that her smile barely stays at the corners of her lips, and there is no wave in her eyes.
Dennis was of course aware of Ye Luo's sharpness, but he still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and asked, "Doctor Ye, do we have any misunderstanding?"
"Of course not! You are thinking too much."
Ye Luo's expression changed faster than flipping through a book, and she denied Dennis's guess with a smile, as if she was not the one who wanted to confront Dennis just now.
"Then I'm relieved." Dennis said pointedly, "In the future, we will work together."
Ye Luo showed an expression of approval, which reassured Dennis.
When the elevator reached the ninth floor, Dennis stopped the elevator door like a gentleman and signaled to Ms. Ye Luo to give priority.
Ye Luo was not polite, said "thank you", walked out of the elevator and went straight into the office.
The office suddenly became quiet. Other colleagues looked at Ye Luo carefully, checking if there was anything wrong with Ye Luo's mood.
Ye Luo pretended not to notice anything unusual about his colleagues, neatly put on his white coat and hung up his work badge. As usual, he went to the tea room to pour a cup of coffee, and then started working as normal when he came back.
When colleagues saw nothing unusual about Ye Luo, they couldn't take the initiative to say anything, and they didn't dare to ask Ye Luo if Song Jiqing really didn't come to work.
Ye Luo thought about it on his knees. Everyone was curious about this question.
Well, she wasn't curious.
Having said that, it's not bad to feel like everyone is confused and I'm the only one who knows the answer.
After writing the report, Ye Luo printed it out and handed it to a colleague who was leaving the office, saying, "Are you going to Dennis' office? By the way, help me give this report to him."
A colleague patted Ye Luo's shoulder to express his understanding of her current mood and took the report away for her.
Until noon, Song Jiqing did not show up.
At this time, most people believed that Song Jiqing would not come.
Dennis has proven with his strength that he is no worse than Song Jiqing. You can imagine how embarrassed Song Jiqing was after he came. So if he didn't come, everyone thought it was quite understandable.
Ye Luo did not wait for Song Jiqing to eat as usual, but went to the restaurant with Xiao Yunyun.
The melon-eaters who witnessed this scene were even more certain of their guesses.
Hospital restaurant.
Ye Luo came over with a drink and sat down, and found Xiao Yunyun biting the coffee straw with a depressed look on her face, and asked her what was wrong.
"I seriously suspect that I am experiencing Mercury retrograde..."
Xiao Yunyun let go of the straw and told Ye Luo the plan she had agreed with Shen Yuechuan yesterday.
After saying that, Xiao Yunyun became even more sad and concluded: "Yesterday, Boss Mu announced the replacement of Ji Qing. Today, Dennis found out about You Ning's awakening before we negotiated with Boss Mu, and passed Boss Mu The test. Apart from Mercury retrograde, I can’t think of a second explanation.”
Ye Luo looked at Xiao Yunyun and couldn't help but smile: "Yunyun, have I ever told you that you are really cute?"
"Yes." Xiao Yunyun replied seriously, "Yuechuan just said it yesterday."
Ye Luo laughed even harder, and it took a while to calm down, and said: "Yunyun, don't worry about this, I don't want to worry about it anymore."
Xiao Yunyun could understand the first half of Ye Luo's sentence, but the second half really surprised her.
"Luoluo, are we just going to leave it alone and watch Dennis take advantage of Ji Qing?"
It was true that Dennis discovered that Xu Youning was about to wake up, but without Song Jiqing's efforts over the past four years, he would not have made this discovery today.
If Song Jiqing gives up at this time, isn't it equivalent to handing over four years of his hard work to others?
"This," Ye Luo winked at Xiao Yunyun, "it still depends on whether Ji Qing is willing to let Dennis pick it up."
Xiao Yunyun half understood what she heard: "What do you mean?"
Ye Luo didn't say anything, but his smile became more and more mysterious.
Xiao Yunyun had no choice but to use her imagination to figure it out, and soon came up with a shocking possibility: "Does Ji Qing have a way to take back the initiative? It's just that he hasn't started taking action yet?"
Ye Luo just nodded: "Yes!" At the end, he did not forget to solemnly signal Xiao Yunyun to keep a low profile.
Xiao Yunyun became even more convinced that she had guessed it right, and lowered her voice and said, "I just said that Ji Qing can't give up so easily!"
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Song Jiqing reappeared in the hospital with renewed strength.
The bruise at the corner of his mouth has dissipated, and he looks very energetic, not at all like he has just experienced something unexpected.
Song Jiqing still has loyal fans in the hospital, and some people use small gestures to encourage him: "Doctor Song, come on! You are the best!"
Song Jiqing nodded and smiled, indicating that he had received it, and walked straight into the inpatient building.
Everyone thought that Song Jiqing had lost his mind and regained his fighting spirit.
But in fact, Song Jiqing just stayed in his office.
The administrative staff still gave Song Jiqing some credit. They did not ask him to vacate his office for Dennis. They just took away some information from him and arranged a separate office for Dennis.
Song Jiqing opened the window and let the sunshine and wind flow in to change the air in the office.
Even though some of the information was taken away, there were still piles of documents on his desk and bookshelf.
A lot of the information was compiled by himself and belongs to him personally.
Song Jiqing wiped the dust on his desk, sat down, and sunk into the office chair, looking contented.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before someone couldn't help but come looking for him.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a knock on the door.
Song Jiqing showed an expected smile and said "come in", and then saw Dennis opening the door and walking in.
"Attending doctor." Song Jiqing smiled, but the smile was far from reaching the bottom of his eyes, "Why do you have time to come here?"
Dennis walked to Song Jiqing's desk and said businesslikely: "Dr. Song, since you know that the attending doctor is very busy, let me tell you what I have to say - I am very happy to see you back at work. You..."
He wanted to tell Song Jiqing that the team still needed him. After all, no one knew Xu Youning's situation better than him. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Song Jiqing:
"You're happy too soon."
Song Jiqing seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were full of ridicule.
Dennis was stunned, frowned and said, "Dr. Song, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Then let me tell you the truth -" Song Jiqing opened a book and looked at it leisurely, "I'm not back to work."
Dennis was surprised, pulled out his chair, sat across the desk from Song Jiqing, and said, "I will convince you to return to the team." After a pause, he emphasized, "Dr. Song, I know you feel uncomfortable. But. The team needs you, and Mrs. Mu needs you too."
Of course, it was him who really needed Song Jiqing.
He thought about it all night, and finally figured out how to take advantage of the conflict between Song Jiqing and Mu Sijue. After he killed Xu Youning, people first suspected Song Jiqing.
If Song Jiqing just comes back and doesn't go to work, his plan won't be able to unfold. Because no one took the blame for him and helped him buy time to leave City A.
Worse, he couldn't wait any longer.
If Xu Youning wakes up, his plan will be shelved forever.
Therefore, no matter what, he must convince Song Jiqing to return to the team and continue working today.
Song Jiqing turned over the book and took advantage of the gap to turn the page and glanced at Dennis casually: "It's enough to have you in the team, you don't need me. Isn't it very busy? Go back and do your work." The subtext is: Don't be here I'm disturbed here.
Dennis pretended not to understand Song Jiqing's subtext and said to himself, "Dr. Song, I won't leave here until I convince you to go to work."
Song Jiqing smiled: "It's your business, whether you accept it or not is my business."
Dennis smiled and nodded, and said calmly: "We all know that you discovered earlier that Mrs. Mu was about to wake up. We also know that you have been working hard for four years. Now it is difficult to see hope. , don’t you want to witness Mrs. Mu wake up with us?”
"..."
"You and Mr. Mu have been friends for many years. Mr. Mu's treatment of you is probably just a temporary anger. When Mr. Mu's anger subsides, everything will return to the way it was before - provided you work normally." Dennis stood completely on Song Jiqing's side. He analyzed the pros and cons for him, "If you do this, it will only make the relationship between you and Mr. Mu worse and worse."
"Dennis," Song Jiqing put down the book and looked at Dennis with interest, "I want to ask a question that is suspected of judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart."
Dennis motioned to Song Jiqing to just ask.
"You Ning will wake up soon. The next work will be easy. You can control the whole situation by yourself." Song Jiqing's eyes were bright and he said slowly, "As long as you wait patiently, you can enjoy all the honors. So, why do you want to convince me to return to the team? If I go back, I will remind everyone that Mrs. Mu can wake up and it has nothing to do with you. "
"Because what I want is not honor, and I don't want to monopolize the credit for Mrs. Mu's recovery." Dennis met Song Jiqing's gaze and spoke loudly, "I just want to make sure that Mrs. Mu wakes up smoothly. Dr. Song, you are the only one." This can be ensured.”
Song Jiqing lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Dennis, compared to you, my situation is still too small. Okay, just to tell you this, I promise you to return to the team and continue working."
Dennis breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his slender hand across the table to Song Jiqing: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
Song Jiqing shook Dennis' hand lightly: "I hope everything goes well."
