Chapter 1: The Office's Unspoken Rules...

  "Little master, we meet again."

  Yang Zongbao saw a familiar face in front of him before meeting with the lawyer. After thinking for a moment: "Lin Ze Xing?"

  "You have a good memory, young master." Li Zexing said with a sincere and flattering smile.

  "Thanks for helping me get out of trouble this time, it seems like the second time already." Who is Yang Zongbao? Pretentious to his ancestors, can't even handle this situation? A small witch seeing a big witch.

  "You're too polite, young master."

  The two of them complimented each other for a bit.

  "Where is Young Master going?" Li Zexing finally got back on track.

  Provincial Hospital.

  "Why?" Li Zexing asked knowingly. Yang Zongbao knew he couldn't possibly be unaware of what had happened at the Yang residence last night.

  "A friend is in emergency."

  "Oh."

  Fortunately, Li Zexing did not continue to pretend to be stupid and drove Yang Zongbao to the Provincial Hospital himself.

  As soon as he entered the hospital, Yang Zongbao saw that the gazes of the crowd towards him were very strange. It was a feeling that when Yang Zongbao himself went to see what emotions were in the gazes, he found that none of them made eye contact with him.

  Went to the nurse's station and inquired about Liu Chun's room.

  Liu Chun was alone in the room, lying on the bed.

  Liu Chun opened his eyes and saw Yang Zongbao immediately turn his head away, seemingly very resentful of Yang Zongbao.

  "Do you have a reason to treat me like this?" Yang Zongbao was very unhappy, he didn't come here to be looked down upon.

  "Why didn't you tell me your family is so wealthy?" Liu Chun turned his head around abruptly, glaring at Yang Zongbao angrily.

  "If you don't have money, are you going to frame me? What did you say to me back then? As long as I help take care of the child, that's enough. What was yesterday all about? Forcing marriage? You can't be this despicable as a human being. More than 30 years of living in vain?" Yang Zongbao's words were sharp and biting.

  "What did you say?" Liu Chun's self-esteem was hurt, and he grabbed a pillow and threw it at Yang Zongbao.

  "What's wrong with you? That man is married, why did you lose your mind for that man?" Yang Zongbao threw everything he could find around her onto himself along with Liu Chun.

  "What do you think you are? You're still just a married man!" Liu Chun went crazy and picked up the thermos to smash.

  Yang Zongbao is no fool and naturally won't wait for something like this to hit him.

  The water bottle fell to the ground and the water splashed everywhere.

  "Are you crazy?" Yang Zongbao shook off the water on his body and said: "I've never hidden anything from anyone, but you're an existence that can't be seen. Does Ouyang Liren dare to mention your business in front of his wife? Living for so many years, can't even understand a man? Playing with you."

  "I've been played, I like being played, what's wrong? You're playing me too?" Liu Chun burst into loud sobs.

  "That doesn't count as playing around, does it? We were both willing. Besides, you were the one who came looking for me."

  "You're shameless."

  Liu Chun uttered one sentence and then fell silent.

  "Alright?" Yang Zongbao sat back down on the edge of the bed.

  "Do you like me?" Liu Chun asked suddenly.

  "Emotion or body? Emotionally I think you're cheap, physically I think you're dirty, but the feeling isn't bad, can give you another chance." Yang Zongbao joked.

  "Good."

  "What did you say?" Yang Zongbao hadn't heard clearly.

  "I'm destined to be single for this lifetime, so I'll just find a man to lean on. I think you're not bad, and besides, didn't you also say we could give it a try? Why aren't you willing?"

  "You know my rules, don't mess around. What you did in the past I can turn a blind eye to. But now that I've said this, I don't want you to give me any more nonsense." Yang Zongbao picked up the thermos and put it aside: "Think carefully."

  "I've thought it through long ago. This time, I didn't intentionally mess with you either. He wanted this child but was too afraid to admit it, so he had to find someone else to be the scapegoat father. I haven't seen him since yesterday. I've figured out what kind of man he is. Plus...” Liu Chun choked back a sob: “My uterus has been completely removed, I won't be able to have any more children."

  "Oh." Yang Zongbao responded with a sentence, not knowing how to comfort her, but thinking about it later, he thought he should say something: "Don't worry, you're still not a eunuch. With ovaries, you're still a woman."

  "Are you coming with me? Are you going to comfort me like this? I'm asking if you want to or not, give me a straightforward answer."

  Yang Zongbao looked at Liu Chun's stubborn face and knew she was putting on a strong front. The woman thought she had disguised herself well, but didn't realize that her stiff and unnatural facial expression gave her away: "After you're done, go to the Yang residence. I can't treat everyone equally, with some being closer than others - this is something you should have known from the start."

  "I know." Liu Chun said listlessly.

  "I know you're leaving." Yang Zongbao pushed open the hospital room door, and there were two little nurses eavesdropping at the doorway.

  "Hehehe..."

  Everyone is quite embarrassed.

  Yang Zongbao didn't make things difficult for others and went to work in the anesthesiology department.

  After a sleepless night, Yang Zongbao didn't brush his teeth or take a bath. Fortunately, it was still early, so he had time to tidy himself up. A man's beard will grow out overnight if not shaved, and Yang Zongbao would grow one no matter how clean-shaven he looked. However, the operating room's anesthesia department didn't have razors. So after Yang Zongbao cleaned himself up, his chin still had a hint of stubble.

  Yang Zongbao.

  Yang Zongbao heard this voice and wanted to hide, but his action was a step late, and he was blocked by Zhou Chuan in front of him: "Where did my brother go?"

  Yang Zongbao sighed: "I'm not clear."

  "After he met you, he didn't go home and didn't go to school either. I checked it out, his file was taken away. In other words, he dropped out of school. Do you have any explanation for this?" Zhou Chuang wouldn't let Yang Zongbao leave.

  "Alright, I know, but can't say it out loud. He needs to understand his own future." Yang Zongbao could only explain.

  "Why don't you go and explain it to Leng's wife?"

  Yang Zongbao thought for a moment, he had promised Zhou Yi's mother that he would go and explain things to her, so he said: "I'll go after work today."

  "Alright." Zhou Chuan let go of Yang Zongbao very succinctly: "Today is still Nohara Nagisa's surgery, doing colon cancer. It seems to be your surgery."

  "I know. I went to see the patient this morning. But I'm asking Zhou Chuan, who made that pink hat on your head? It's really..."

  Yang Zongbao had long since spotted a bright pink surgical cap on Zhou Chuan's head, which was particularly eye-catching.

  "What's it to you?" Zhou Chuan's face turned red with rare sternness.

  Yang Zongbao stopped teasing him and walked into the operating room together.

  The patient had already been lying on the operating table.

  "It's you."

  As expected, Nobuyuki Nohara still recognized Yang Zongbao as soon as he entered the operating room.

  "Yes." Yang Zongbao also didn't hide it.

  "You still owe me a suit." Norihiro Nohara recalled his naked appearance at the time and scowled with resentment.

  "No money." Yang Zongbao replied succinctly: "Anesthesia is ready, start surgical timing."

  Yang Zongbao is implying that Noguchi Yasutada's action was too slow.

  Nohara Nagaharu did not engage in a verbal dispute and began the operation on stage. Shūsen brought along one student as an assistant.

  Still the same style, meticulous and prudent, not rash. It cannot be denied that Nobuharu Takahashi is a qualified surgeon in terms of surgical skills.

  Kazuharu Nomura took the stage, and Yang Zongbao was also particularly careful, standing on a footstool, watching the operation. The two were also competing with each other. The more they were watched by each other, the more they referred to the textbook model.

  One colon cancer, Nohara Nagaharu did 10 hours. The time was a bit long, but the process was perfect and there's nothing to say.

  After stepping down, Nobuyuki Nohara made a drinking gesture and asked Yang Zongbao: "Let's have a drink together."

  "Okay, but another day." Yang Zongbao got off work and still had to go to Zhou Yi's mother's house to explain.

  "No problem." Nagisawa Hiroshi is also easy-going.

  This was beyond Yang Zongbao's expectations, although the man had messed up his own bed, but now it looked pretty good. A bit arrogant, but with reason to be proud, his skills in this hospital were among the best. As they say, don't judge a hero by his age. Medicine knows no borders, there's no need to harp on someone's nationality. Besides, his private life had nothing to do with his professional ethics.

  "Are you getting along well with that Japanese person?" Zhou Chuan was somewhat unhappy.

  Facing Zhou Chu's immature behavior, Yang Zongbao felt it necessary to enlighten him: "Medicine knows no borders. Bethune wasn't Chinese either. Besides, he's now saving Chinese lives and his skills are not bad, at least better than some mediocre doctors who don't care about human rights, what do you think?"

  Zhou Chu glanced at Yang Zongbao: "You have a lot of excuses, hurry up and change your clothes, I'll take you there."

  Yang Zongbao did not think that Zhou Chong would be guarding against him every step of the way, fearing that he would run away halfway.

  After sending the patient away, he went to take a bath. He couldn't meet his family with a sweaty smell on him, could he? So when Yang Zongbao appeared at the hospital entrance, Zhou Chuan's face was completely black.

  "Sorry, I'll go buy a fruit basket." Yang Zongbao could only apologize and say.

  "It's no use, it's too late."

  Zhou Chuan started the car without saying a word. Zhou Yiniang lived in an ordinary place, just a general residential area. It was located on the street and didn't even have a courtyard.

  Before meeting Zhou Yiniang, Yang Zongbao had all sorts of fantasies. Because he didn't have a good impression of Zhou's father, it was hard for him to imagine what kind of woman would submit to him.

  When the door opened in front of Yang Zongbao, he never thought it would be such a woman.

  In her 40s, slightly chubby, without using any cosmetics, and not taking good care of herself, crow's feet have already appeared at the corners of her eyes. If there is anything redeeming about her appearance, it is that her skin is still relatively smooth.

  "Are you Zhou Yi's master?" After letting Yang Zongbao and Zhou Chuan sit on the sofa, Zhou Yi's mother handed a cup of boiled water to Yang Zongbao.

  "Uh-huh."

  "You seem younger than Zhou Yi, right?" Zhou Yi's daughter smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I just asked if you know where Zhou Yi is now?"

  "I know." Yang Zongbao replied honestly, for some reason he didn't want to lie like he did with Zhou Chuan.

  "I know you won't tell me even if I ask, but I'll ask anyway: is he doing well?" The woman was unexpectedly understanding.

  "It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but I'm working for my own future."

  "Alright, thank you. Zhou Chuan, send Xiao Yang home."

  This was obviously a dismissal, and Yang Zongbao didn't dare say anything more, so he followed Zhou Chuan out.

  "Leng Yi is a very wise woman." Zhou Chuan suddenly said while driving.

  "It can be seen." Such a woman who doesn't even wear makeup knows how to protect herself, Yang Zongbao thought.

  "Zhou Yi walked out of the Zhou family house, and Leng Aunt would no longer stay here either."

  "Where is he going?"

  "You'll know later." Zhou Chuan said mysteriously: "Speaking of this, I also want to thank you."

  "Don't be polite." Yang Zongbao suddenly thought that the tablecloth in Zhou Yinniang's house earlier seemed to be pink, the same color as Zhou Chuan's hat.
