Chapter 773: Chapter 360: Buying a Car and Saying Hello

"No problem, once his biochemical results come out, just send the patient’s information to my phone."

Li Jingsheng was quite proficient in the field of digestive tract diseases and had always been very interested in it.

This kind of disease was also the second most common type of case seen at the clinic.

As long as it wasn’t an extremely complicated and difficult case, he was confident in having a go at it.

If not, he could still consult Director Lian Tao for advice.

"Let’s go, let’s go out and have a meal together! Call Dr. Ou to join us!"

Doing a colonoscopy didn’t take much time, less than twenty minutes.

Li Jingsheng called Ou Qinglan.

She quickly came over from the orthopedics department.

"Dr. Ou, I’m really sorry. I thought we could be done by seven. I’ve already reserved the table, but didn’t expect it to be past seven twenty by the time we finished. It’s really embarrassing that the first time I’m treating you guys to a meal, it’s dinner."

She naturally reached out to shake hands with Ou Qinglan, greeting her.

"No worries, no worries. As doctors, it’s rare for us to have a meal on time when we’re busy. Having dinner just after seven is already a great fortune!"

Ou Qinglan walked over to Li Jingsheng.

It was apparent she was a bit nervous dealing with Xiao Linlin.

"Dinner, dinner! Good food isn’t afraid of being late! Tonight, the two of us should thoroughly enjoy Sister Xiao’s hospitality. Just hope Sister Xiao won’t be too heartbroken!"

When Li Jingsheng talked to Xiao Linlin, he was much more relaxed.

It required a strong personal presence, the capability, and confidence to engage in an easy, equal conversation.

Otherwise, anyone would feel nervous and restrained.

After all, she was a chief physician.

"Dr. Ou, you should really manage your fellow over here. He’s already calling me sister and still wants to make me feel the pinch. Is this how you treat your sister?"

Xiao Linlin’s words effortlessly closed the distance with Ou Qinglan.

Three women on stage make a play, two women aren’t much different either.

From unfamiliar to familiar, their conversation topics noticeably increased.

Li Jingsheng instead became somewhat of an outsider.

"Wait here for a moment, I’ll go fetch the car."

Xiao Linlin quickly went to the parking lot and drove out the car.

It was a red Mercedes.

A B-class car.

Among luxury car brands, B-class cars are popular with ordinary salaried white-collars, government employees, and doctors. The cheapest goes for over 200,000.

Driving it gives a good impression and greatly satisfies inner vanity.

It’s also quite fuel-efficient, as the body isn’t especially large, making parking convenient. Driving within the city is fairly nimble.

That’s why they are commonly purchased, appealing to those who have some money but aren’t very wealthy.

As for those whose income is a notch lower, like junior white-collars, regular teachers, young doctors, small business owners, they mostly drive cars worth over 100,000. They prefer larger SUVs.

"Wow, Sister Xiao, seeing your car, we certainly need to dine at a seven-star hotel tonight to do it justice!"

Li Jingsheng opened the car door like a gentleman, letting Ou Qinglan enter first, then followed inside.

"Haha, the best hotel in Jiangli City is only five-star, there’s no seven-star at all. But today I’ll take you to a restaurant that focuses more on ambiance, with good portions and decent taste. Someday if you and Dr. Ou go travel, you could consider staying at a five-star hotel."

Her car being a luxury brand was humorously exaggerated by Li Jingsheng, which greatly satisfied her little vanity.

She laughed very happily.

Out of ten women, nine are vain, just to varying degrees.

Director Xiao was no exception.

The three of them going off to the restaurant to eat doesn’t need mentioning.

...

After dinner, it was still early, not even eight thirty.

"I’ll drive you home!"

"No need, no need. Our Dr. Ou likes romance. I’ll accompany her for a walk. Thanks for your generous invitation, we’ll have to trick you into treating us a few more times. The food here is indeed very good. The portions are generous, unlike in big hotels where every dish is served in small amounts, and you still need to eat instant noodles at home afterward."

"Who’s yours?! You haven’t even married me yet!"

She playfully grumbled from the side.

"Dr. Ou’s words make sense, haven’t married her yet. When are you two getting married? I’ll have to take leave to attend your wedding and share your joy."

Xiao Linlin looked at the two like a celestial couple, really optimistic about them.

"Next year! By then we’ll definitely send Sister Xiao an invitation, just worried you’ll tell me, ’Xiaoli, sorry, just look at our department, too many patients lately, too busy, sister really can’t make it to your wedding.’"

Before Li Jingsheng could finish, Xiao Linlin was already laughing uproariously.

"Haha, I never imagined your tongue could be so slick. No wonder the prettiest girl in our hospital got wooed by you!"

"With scarce resources, you definitely have to do your utmost to snatch it up! We’re off now, goodbye! Drive safe, take it slow!"

Li Jingsheng tightly held onto Ou Qinglan’s hand.

"Goodbye, Sister Xiao!"

Ou Qinglan waved goodbye as well, having a bit of that husband-and-wife-following-each-other vibe.

"Goodbye!"

Xiao Linlin watched them walk away before turning to leave in her car.

The place they ate was not far from the Old Street of South City, about over four kilometers.

"Qinglan, I’ve been frequently running between the hospital and clinic lately, thinking of buying a car for convenience. Sometimes I can’t get a ride, wasting too much time."

"Sure! Mercedes or BMW?"

"I’m planning to buy a bicycle!"
