"No, it's fine, just say it here . Plus…you are dating Dr . Wu . If she finds out, she might misunderstand . " To Ning Zhiyuan's surprise, Huo Mian rejected his request .
"Mian, please give me a chance to speak to you alone, okay?"
Huo Mian had never seen Ning Zhiyuan so humble, and his attitude somewhat softened her resolve .
"Huo Mian, I'll leave you two alone then . " Huang Yue didn't feel comfortable sitting with them, so she picked up her tray and left .
Ning Zhiyuan saw his opportunity and immediately sat down across from Huo Mian .
"Aren't you afraid that Dr . Wu will find out that you were talking to me out in the open for everyone to see?"
"I'm not afraid of her, it doesn't matter," Ning Zhiyuan replied calmly .
"Oh, what did you want to talk to me about? Hurry up, I'm a little busy . I have to go back to work in a bit," Huo Mian said after checking the time on her phone .
Ning Zhiyuan looked at Huo Mian; with a low and secretive voice, he said, "I'm going to an ophthalmology-related medical seminar in Hong Kong next month . "
"That's good news, congratulations . "
"But everyone's supposed to bring a new academic paper they've written… you know that you were the one who helped me with those in the past, so I was wondering if you could help me again this time…"
Huo Mian understood immediately – his attitude towards her was good because he needed something from her .
"Sorry, I can't help you . "
"Mian, please . "
"Zhiyuan, you can't rely on others forever . You have a lot of time on your hands, why don't you do some research in the field of ophthalmology? Seriously, if you put your heart into studying and research, you'll succeed . After all, no one can steal knowledge away from you . "
"But I don't have the talent . I know that you're a genius . "
"I may be a genius, but that doesn't mean that I have to help you . "
"I can give you money if you help me write one more paper . How does 30,000 yuan sound?"
Huo Mian smiled… Her smile containing complicated meanings .
Ning Zhiyuan couldn't tell what Huo Mian was thinking, so he upped his offer, "What about 50,000 yuan? You'd be able to buy a Chery car for your brother with that kind of money . He loves cars, doesn't he? You should think about it . "
"Zhiyuan, you probably didn't know, but I… I'm not poor anymore . I'm not in need of money . "
Ning Zhiyuan kept emphasizing money, so Huo Mian told him this information with a smile on her face .
Ning Zhiyuan hesitated for a second after remembering that Qin Chu person, "Oh right, how can I forget? You have a super-rich-ex-boyfriend, of course you don't need money . "
"It doesn't have anything to do with money… either way, I can't help you . "
"Women, what a heartless bunch . I can't believe that you won't help me just because we're broken up . It's such a realistic tragedy," Ning Zhiyuan sneered when he heard that Huo Mian wouldn't help him .
Huo Mian was unhappy and refuted, "Is the pot calling the kettle black? I remember that you did the same thing to me . "
When her brother needed surgery and she was in dire need of money, he refused to even lend her a penny . Huo Mian knew that if she helped Ning Zhiyuan, she would be the stupidest person on Earth .
Then, Huo Mian stood up and left, leaving her unfinished food where it was…
Ning Zhiyuan had a feeling that Huo Mian changed completely .
She was no longer gentle nor low-key . She wouldn't even smile at him .
After getting home from work, Huo Mian noticed that Qin Chu was there as well .
"Congrats, you don't have to work night shifts anymore," Qin Chu said proudly .
"Um… how did you know?" Huo Mian didn't remember telling him about being transferred out of the OB/GYN department .
