Chapter 1552: Travel, a Date for Two

Because Zhou Chen said he was going out for a day out today, Fang Xiaoran specially brought a larger shoulder bag.

After the car stopped, she happily opened the passenger door and got in.

"Why did you come down so early? Didn't you say you would call you when I arrived?"

Zhou Chen smoothly took Fang Xiaoran's bag and placed it in the back row.

Fang Xiaoran smoothed her hair and said: "It's the same when you come out and wait. The air outside is fresher than at home. Have you had breakfast? If not, there is a breakfast restaurant in our community. I will accompany you to eat."

"I've eaten."

When Zhou Chen lived alone, he would get up early to cook and eat by himself. If two people lived, it would not necessarily be the case. He might sleep until noon, or he might sleep all day.

"Oh, then where are we going today?"

"I heard that the trestle is quite fun. There are many places to play and you can feed the pigeons. Have you been there?"

Fang Xiaoran shook her head and said: "No, my father died early when I was a child, and my mother worked in the hospital, so she didn't have time to play with me. Later, after I went to school, I was under a lot of academic pressure, and I went to university to study medicine, and I didn't have much time, so I basically I haven’t been out much.”

Hearing this, Zhou Chen had to sigh with emotion, what a pitiful baby.

Her childhood can be considered a typical example of no one to discipline her. It is really rare to be able to have such a great character without growing crookedly.

"It's okay. When I have time in the future, I will take you out to play more, starting around this city."

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Fang Xiaoran's eyes were filled with a strange light. She was not a three-year-old child, but Zhou Chen's words revealed a lot of meaning.

Regardless of whether Zhou Chen wanted to express what she meant, she still showed a very bright smile.

"OK."

"Set off!"

"Set off!"

Fang Xiaoran cheered along with Zhou Chen, waved his hands, and set off immediately.

On the balcony upstairs, Fang Zhuqing watched her daughter get into the car and set off with a complicated expression.

She has no objection to her daughter going out with Zhou Chen. It can be seen from her marriage and love history that she is the kind of woman who is free in love. As long as she likes it, she can go there regardless. Pursue love.

Just like her marriage to Fang Xiaoran's father, she divorced and ran away when Zhou Xiaofeng was five years old, and Fang Xiaoran was six years younger than Zhou Xiaofeng.

In other words, more than a year after the divorce, she completed the entire process of getting married and having a daughter.

When she divorced and gave up her son, she said she didn’t want to be trapped in that kind of family as a housewife, but then she turned around and found another man and gave birth to a daughter. In this way, from getting married and pregnant to having and raising children, at least I can't go to work normally for a year. Is this called working hard for a career?

Not to mention, after Fang Xiaoran's father passed away, she found a boyfriend who was more than ten years younger.

Would such a view of love be like that of a normal person?

Anyway, it is not like the view of love of most Chinese women, but more like the foreign view of love that advocates 'freedom'.

Fang Zhuqing has already learned about Zhou Chen's resume. It has to be said that genius surgeons like Zhou Chen are very rare in the country. They are much better than she was back then. Such a man with excellent conditions in all aspects, It’s very rare in the medical world.

If Zhou Chen had not broken up, she would definitely object to her daughter going out with him. However, she learned from her daughter that Zhou Chen had already broken up, so she did not object to her daughter going out with Zhou Chen. Instead, she allowed them to develop. look.

Especially at this special time, Fang Xiaoran has been locking herself at home a few days ago, and she is very haggard.

But today she was going out to play with Zhou Chen. She got up before dawn and started dressing up. Her energy level was even better than before she had no career exposure.

So in this case, of course she supports her daughter to go out to play. Let’s not talk about whether there will be sparks between the two. At least with Zhou Chen’s help, Xiao Ran can be in a very good state and mentality. This is very important to Xiao Ran. Also a good thing.

Zhou Chen drove to the location of the trestle. After parking the car, he walked to the trestle with Fang Xiaoran.

Because they came early and it was not a rest day, there were not many tourists here.

While walking, his phone suddenly rang. Zhou Chen took out his phone and took a look, and was speechless.

"Are you sick?"

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Chen handed the phone to Fang Xiaoran. Fang Xiaoran was stunned when he saw the text on the phone.

Zhou Chen complained: "You think this is disgusting? I came out to have fun, and then an announcement was issued at this time. Is this disgusting on purpose?"

Fang Xiaoran couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.

This is a notice issued in the hospital group. It is the punishment for Zhou Chen's last beating incident. It is a warning and a quarterly performance bonus.

"You still laugh at me."

Zhou Chen stretched out his finger and lightly tapped Fang Xiaoran's head.

Fang Xiaoran said apologetically: "I didn't laugh. I want to thank you. I know you hit someone to help us. To express my sincerity, I paid for all the expenses for today's outing."

Zhou Chen glanced at her sideways: "It's just your salary, forget it. I'm taking you out to play today, and I have the final say on how to spend it."

"Then I'll treat you to dinner."

"That's okay. Let's go. Don't let this affect your mood. Let's go feed the pigeons."

Fang Xiaoran's face suddenly became full of interest: "Feed the pigeons. I have never fed pigeons before. How do you feed them? Do you feed them directly with food like on TV?"

"There is nothing special about it. Just like feeding cats and dogs, you can feed them how you want. Later we will buy more bird food and start feeding them."

"Okay, okay."

Fang Xiaoran felt that she was full of strength at this time. She swept away the decadence of the previous few days and glanced at Zhou Chen beside her. Feeding pigeons was indeed a happy thing, but how happy it was depends on who you feed it with.

When we came to the trestle, the number of pigeons was not large, so Zhou Chen bought a lot of bird food. As the number of pigeons increased, the fun of feeding the pigeons came out.

"Ah, there are too many, too many, why are they all flying towards me? Ah, wow, haha, it's so fun."

Fang Xiaoran obviously had no experience in feeding, so he started feeding the pigeons after getting the bird food. These pigeons were used to being fed, so they naturally knew who had the bird food, so they all pounced on Fang Xiaoran and Zhou Chen.

At the beginning, Fang Xiaoran was scared, but after finding that they had no attack power, she let go of the feeding and was very happy.

After feeding for a while and resting for a while, Fang Xiaoran was already sweating profusely from playing like crazy.

She wiped the sweat with a tissue, her face flushed with heat.

"It was so much fun. Luckily you let me bring my hat and coat."

She had just been attacked by bird droppings several times. Fortunately, she was wearing a hat and a coat, otherwise she would have been in real trouble.

Zhou Chen took off the hat on her head, and didn't mind it. He wiped off the stains on it with a wet tissue, and then wiped off the stains on Fang Xiaoran's body. This considerate concern made Fang Xiaoran's eyes sparkle and her smile became even brighter. .

"Do you want to continue playing later?"

Fang Xiaoran said: "I haven't finished feeding the bird food yet. I'll feed some more later."

"If you can't finish feeding it, you can give it to others."

"good."

After feeding the pigeons for a while, the two ended their pigeon feeding trip. Fang Xiaoran also took off his hat and coat, put them in the car, and then continued to travel to other places with Zhou Chen.

It was Fang Xiaoran's treat at noon, and she specially picked a Western restaurant that looked very good. She waved her hand cheerfully and asked Zhou Chen to order whatever he wanted.

Zhou Chen couldn't help but smile because of her cute appearance. Fang Xiaoran's character and face really filled him with affection. He felt good about her no matter how he looked at her.

Fang Xiaoran followed Zhou Chen for a whole day of fun, and her smile never broke. They didn't return until after dinner.

After sitting in the car, Fang Xiaoran felt exhausted. After playing all day today, she exercised more than when she went to work, but no matter how tired she was, she still felt happy.

Even though she was very tired, Fang Xiaoran still cheered up and did not fall asleep in the car. She kept talking to Zhou Chen.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that Zhou Chen sent Fang Xiaoran downstairs to their house.

"I'm here. Thank you, Zhou Chen. Today is the happiest day I've had in a while."

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I haven't been this relaxed for a long time. I also want to thank you for playing with me all day."

Fang Xiaoran waved her hand at Zhou Chen with a smile on her face: "You must be very tired after playing all day. Go back and rest quickly. You have to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll take a break next week and play with you again?"

"No problem, as long as you don't find me annoying, I'm fine with it."

"Then it's settled, but this time I chose the place. Next week it's up to you to choose the place for strategy."

Fang Xiaoran immediately said that there was no problem: "Anyway, I have nothing to do at home recently. After such a long time, I will definitely be able to make a good strategy. I will show you the way next time."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After waiting for Zhou Chen's car to disappear, Fang Xiaoran jumped upstairs with her bag on her back.

As soon as he opened the door and entered the house, he saw Fang Zhuqing and Zhou Xiaofeng sitting on the sofa.

"Mom, brother, when did you come?"

Fang Zhuqing said: "Your brother came to see you after get off work. You were not at home, so he just sat at home for a while and played all day. Are you tired?"

Fang Xiaoran said happily: "I am very tired, but very happy. Mom, brother, we went to feed the pigeons today. There are so many pigeons. Fortunately, Zhou Chen reminded me to bring a hat and coat, otherwise I would have been covered in bird poop by the pigeons. Yes, haha.”

Looking at her daughter who was smiling happily, Fang Zhuqing was speechless. Is it worth being so happy to feed a pigeon?

Zhou Xiaofeng asked: "Xiao Ran, you went out to play with Zhou Chen today."

"Yes, brother, he has a day off today. We have made an appointment to go to the trestle early in the morning."

Zhou Xiaofeng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

He has a very good sense of Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen is also very good in all aspects. He is definitely more than enough to match his sister. However, he also knows that Zhou Chen broke up not long ago. At this time, he took the initiative to invite Fang Xiaoran to join him. For a person like him with more traditional thinking, I always feel that it is not very good and it is developing too fast.

But when he thought about his sister's current situation, Zhou Chen could continue to be the same as before without any concern at all, and even be better than Fang Xiaoran before. He felt that he was overthinking and was a bit of a villain trying to judge a gentleman.

And it can be clearly seen that Fang Xiaoran's mood is much better today than the past few days, and the whole person has returned to his previous optimism and cheerfulness.

In the end, he didn't say anything. Now he just wanted his sister to be happy, and nothing else mattered.

It's the first day of a new week, and Zhou Chen has another day at the outpatient clinic.

The last beating incident had some impact on Zhou Chen at first. However, two weeks later, no one had discussed it. His outpatient clinic still had as many patients as before. It was busy until past twelve o'clock. Only then did I have time to eat.

It was past twelve o'clock, and there were not many people eating in the cafeteria. Zhou Chen packed his meal and found an empty seat to sit down and eat.

While eating, he suddenly heard a discussion from behind a diagonal pillar. He was still the protagonist of the topic, which made him prick up his ears.

"Yesterday, the hospital's punishment decision was made. You all saw it, right?"

"Are you talking about Zhou Chen from the Heart Center? Of course I saw it. I have to say that if someone has connections, he is like Niu Bi. He hit someone so arrogantly and had such a huge impact. In the end, it was just a warning and a quarter's bonus. , if it were someone else, he would at least have a major demerit, and he might even be demoted.”

"Who doesn't know that his teacher is Vice President Cui Jing. President Cui is very tolerant to him. All the doctors in our hospital have the highest level of benefits. How can the hospital leaders be willing to give up on such a person?" Punishing him is just a show."

"It's different if we have a strong background. We work very hard, earn such a small salary, and don't dare to make any mistakes. But it's okay for others to beat others. Comparing people with each other is so annoying."

Not many people knew about the aftermath of the beating incident. At least most people in the hospital thought that Zhou Chen was not severely punished because the hospital leaders protected him.

Everyone has jealousy, especially for an outstanding person like Zhou Chen, who will inevitably be jealous.

The three people chatting were two men and one woman. It was obvious from their tone that they were very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen and felt that Zhou Chen was a related party.

"Okay, stop talking. It's useless. Isn't this the way society is today? No matter how capable you are, it's still useless if you don't have any connections."

"They say that Zhou Chen is a genius cardiac surgeon. I think they are all just trumped up. He is only in his thirties, can he really be better than the old experts? I think he has the qualifications to work in Fuwai Hospital in the capital, plus the teacher It’s Dean Cui, so he’s just a star doctor who is valued by the hospital leaders.”

"I can't say that. I think he should have some abilities, but he is definitely not as miraculous as what is said. If he is so powerful, how can he stay in Dongli?"

"It makes sense, but it's not worthy of the name."

Although Zhou Chen has lived for many years and has an indifferent nature, it does not mean that he has no temper. On the contrary, he still has a good temper. He is so strong, why should he still suffer?

This is obviously impossible.

So he stood up, walked around the pillar, and walked to the table.

"Speaking ill of people behind their back is not something a serious person would do. I am Zhou Chen. If you have any grievances or dissatisfaction, you can tell me in front of me now."

Zhou Chen's sudden appearance caused the faces of the three people eating to change drastically.

Although they were very disdainful of Zhou Chen when they were discussing just now, when Zhou Chen actually appeared in front of them, they were actually very weak. They lowered their heads and were speechless at all. They all felt uneasy.

The parties involved heard bad things about people behind their backs, and no matter how thick-skinned they were, they couldn't bear it at this time.

Zhou Chen didn't talk nonsense to them, but said coldly: "I don't need to prove to you whether I am capable or not. If you think I am cheating, you can report me. Next time you talk about others behind their backs, look at yourself first." , Strengthening your own abilities is what you should do now, instead of sitting here and talking about others behind their backs.”

"Forget it this time. If I hear you gossiping behind your back next time, don't blame me for being rude to you."

After saying that, Zhou Chen ignored their ugly faces and turned around and left. Such a villain who talked about right and wrong behind his back was not worthy of being looked down upon by him.
