Chapter 589: Doctor Jiang Does Not Have the Time to See a Little Thing Like You
The receptionist nodded. “Yes.”
Kong Zhihui asked, “Did they say why they’re here to see Dr. Jiang?”
The receptionist replied, “One came to consult with Dr. Jiang, and the other… er…”
She hesitated.
What should she say?
The girl answered that she came to see Dr. Jiang. How should she answer Dr. Kong?
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Dr. Kong was interested in Dr. Jiang, and Dr. Jiang did not seem to have rejected her outright.
Everyone in the research institute had acknowledged that the two of them were a couple. Otherwise, why hadn’t Dr. Jiang returned to headquarters by now?
Although Dr. Jiang was a special-class doctor and the trump card of the respected X Research Institute, Dr. Kong was still young and had already become a senior doctor. She could do whatever she wanted in all the major hospitals in the country.
So, if the two of them were to walk together, could they be considered a talented man and a beautiful woman?
Originally, many people were chasing after Dr. Kong. However, after Dr. Jiang arrived, Dr. Kong revealed her thoughts. Everyone knew that they had no chance. Moreover, the difference between them and Dr. Jiang was obvious. They could only look on in envy and jealousy.
Seeing that the receptionist was in the middle of her sentence, Kong Zhihui frowned and felt suspicious. “Is there something you can’t say?”
Jiang Yu did not like her aggressive gaze and replied, “If you have any questions, you can just ask me directly.”
Kong Zhihui did not back down. “Why are you looking for Jingnian? Is his family sick?”
Jiang Yu replied, “No, I’m just looking for him.”
Kong Zhihui smiled. “Little girl, do you know that this is not the place for you to be? Dr. Jiang has many things to do every day, how would he have the time to see a little one like you?”
Jiang Yu: “Oh?”
She stood up and lowered her chin. “I’m taller than you, who should be called the little thing?”
In terms of height, Jiang Yu was indeed taller than Kong Zhihui.
Kong Zhihui choked.
The research institute was classified according to their ranks. She was a senior doctor and her skills were ranked at the top. The doctors in the research institute were all polite to her. Even the special-class doctor, Jiang Jingnian, was polite when talking to her.
Wherever she went, everyone treated her with respect because she came from X Institute.
It had been a long time since she had been bullied, and by a high school student who had yet to graduate.
Kong Zhihui sneered, “You have to listen to whatever I call you. Otherwise, do you believe that I will ask someone to kick you out?”
Jiang Yu wagged a finger, “I don’t believe you.”
Kong Zhihui’s tone became even colder, “Little girl, you’re still too young and don’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth. It seems that today is your lucky day. I’m prepared to teach you a lesson and the principles of being a person.”
She said to the receptionist, “Get the security guards to bring her out. Don’t let in all the kittens and puppies.”
The receptionist hesitated and said, “She… She’s here to see Dr. Jiang. Isn’t it inappropriate for us to do this?”
Hearing this, Kong Zhihui said unhappily, “What do you mean? Are you saying that I’m not qualified to deal with someone who’s here to see Jingnian?”
“Didn’t you hear what she said? She came to see Jingnian for some personal matters and is interrupting his work time. Jingnian was usually too busy with work, so how could we let unimportant people disturb him and take up his time and energy?
“It’s just a small matter, I’ll handle it for him. There’s no need to ask him about it. Besides, how can you understand the relationship between Jingnian and me?”
It seemed like she was saying this to the receptionist, but in reality, she was also saying it to Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu curled her lips and smiled.
“I’d like to know what kind of relationship you have with Dr. Jiang. Are you bypassing him to deal with an insignificant person like me?”
Kong Zhihui crossed her arms and wagged her finger at her. “Little girl, adult matters aren’t any of your concern.”
Jiang Yu: “So, you’re feeling good about yourself? You’ve already taken on the role of Dr. Jiang’s girlfriend?”
Kong Zhihui’s expression froze.
Although everyone in the office was well aware of this, as the two of them were not officially in a relationship yet, there were some things that they would not directly put on the table.
For example, although she already thought of herself as Dr. Jiang’s girlfriend, she had never directly admitted it. After all, it was better for girls to be more reserved when it came to titles.
However, since Jiang Yu had already brought it up, Kong Zhihui naturally wouldn’t lose her morale.
“Little girl, since you’re already aware of it, why do you continue to humiliate yourself?”
Kong Zhihui puffed out her chest and said meaningfully, “You’re still too inexperienced. You’re not Jingnian’s type.”
Logically speaking, if she was really Jiang Jingnian’s admirer, she would have already run away with tears in her eyes when she met Kong Zhihui.
But was Jiang Yu an ordinary person?
She looked Kong Zhihui up and down and came to a conclusion.
“This dish of yours is a little old.”
As soon as she said this…
Kong Zhihui’s expression changed.
Although she was already a senior doctor, there was a huge gap between a senior doctor and a special doctor. Unless she could perform a surgery that would shock the entire world, this was simply too difficult.
It took Kong Zhihui a few years to go from an intermediate doctor to a senior doctor. She had to perform a few high-difficulty surgeries to obtain this title.
Therefore, even though her talent was already very good, she could not be compared to a top-notch genius like Jiang Jingnian. Therefore, in terms of age, she was a few years older than Jiang Jingnian.
She was originally the highest-ranking and youngest person in X Institute’s Beijing branch. After Jiang Jingnian came, Jiang Jingnian became the youngest and highest-ranking person in the institute.
Kong Zhihui had been brooding over this age difference and felt that she had hinted at it many times. She was worried that the reason why Jiang Jingnian did not take the initiative was that he was concerned that she was older than him.
Therefore, she was anxious and tried to dress up to look younger. However, she was not someone who walked the path of cuteness. Instead, she looked older by pretending to be young. Therefore, she could only return to her original mature female appearance.
That was why Kong Zhihui was so hostile when she saw Jiang Yu today, especially when she saw her face which was full of youth.
Kong Zhihui turned around and asked, “Where’s the security guard? Why isn’t he here yet?”
The receptionist felt that it wasn’t a good idea to chase Jiang Yu out, so she tried to smooth things over, “Miss Kong, perhaps this young lady really has something to talk to Dr. Jiang about? Perhaps it’s because it’s not convenient for her to reveal the reason…”
Kong Zhihui reprimanded, “Do I need you to teach me this? Since when does someone need to cover up the reason they’re coming to X Institute?
“Let me tell you, I can see through this kind of little girl’s thoughts with a single glance. It’s obvious that it’s because Jingnian has a kind heart. Perhaps when he went to a hospital previously, he helped treat a certain patient while he was at it. This patient’s family has taken a liking to Jingnian, and they might even come up with some excuse to marry him. They pester Jingnian relentlessly.
“I’ve seen this kind of person many times!”
