Chapter 8: Complicated Substitute
Editor: Tehrn, Carolin
"Huh…" Su Mei was stunned by Ye Mo's words but quickly reacted and said: "It's like this... since you helped me in the morning, I genuinely want to invite you out to eat some food. I don't want to owe you anything; otherwise, I would feel very, very…"
Ye Mo stared coldly at Su Mei once and sighed in his heart, only those women who thought they were princesses would have such condescending self-satisfaction. She would not think at all of the consequences her actions would bring to others. All she could think about was her superiority.
"How much are you willing to spend to invite me?" Ye Mo's words fazed Su Mei for a bit.
"Ugh… Ah… I was thinking of going to the Ju Wei restaurant in the school for a meal. It should be around 300 dollars..." although she didn't understand what Ye Mo's words meant, she was still able to react.
"Oh, do you have 200 dollars cash on you right now?" Ye Mo looked at Su Mei still expressionlessly.
Su Mei dazed but then took out 200 dollars.
"Since it'll be 300 dollars for a meal, and I would probably eat about two-thirds, which would be the 200 dollars that you are about to give to me, it means that you have already invited me to dinner. Now, we don't owe each other anything so don't disturb me anymore!" Ye Mo took the 200 dollars and left.
"You…" Su Mei caught on to reality after a long while, she realized that there was actually this type of people in the world. She was so furious that she almost couldn't breathe: "Who does he think he is?! An impotent man acting like he is the top sh*t! Did he forget that he was impotent?!"
Ye Mo was starting to get curious as to why he had already finished eating at school, and yet, he still didn't find anyone suspicious following him. He didn't think that Zheng Wenqiao would let things go like this: "Hmm... It seems that he really is patient."
Just when Ye Mo went back to his residence, he saw Xu Wei with a face full of worry walking around the outside of his room so, he asked with curiosity: "Xu Wei, what's wrong?"
"Ye Mo, you're finally back! Could you help me out? I really have something urgent today, but I already agreed to help Zhou Yun take her night shift." As soon as Xu Wei saw Ye Mo, she immediately looked relieved and walked up to him.
"What can I help you with?" Ye Mo asked curiously.
"Could you take the shift as a substitute? It's only a few hours, and you can finish at 12 am," Xu Wei said with an urgent face.
Ye Mo had black lines down his head and was almost speechless: "I'm a jobless person, and you want me to take your shift at the hospital. Do you have a fever?"
"Didn't you say that you knew some things about medicine? My job at night is basically to measure the body's temperature of the patient. You only need to take a thermometer and give it to the patients, and they can measure it themselves. Then you can just record it and, according to the temperature, put them on the waiting list if needed. I'll give Xiao Wu a call later and ask her to teach you. You can learn it in a few minutes," after Xu Wei had finished, she looked at Ye Mo with hopeful eyes.
Ye Mo looked at Xu Wei speechlessly. He said, "I can help you, but what if a manager checks and finds out about it?"
"Don't worry; the managers won't go to the reception. You'll be wearing a face mask, who would know who you are under it?" said Xu Wei with certainty.
Seeing that Ye Mo agreed, Xu Wei gave her lanyard card to Ye Mo and hurriedly packing up her bag before leaving. Ye Mo knew that she was probably in some sticky situation.
Just in case, Ye Mo still brought his little medical kit. He didn't think that the medical kit he prepared for his stall which hadn't even been used before was going to be used for the first time in a proper hospital.
Probably because Xu Wei called Xiao Wu before, Xiao Wu pulled down her mouth mask as soon as Ye Mo came to the Li Kang Hospital reception: "You are Ye Mo, right? Wear your white gown first. Let me tell you, it's very easy, this is the record and thermometer, and just leave everything else to me."
Xiao Wu was a girl with a round face and two dimples when she smiled which made her looked amicable. As expected, just past 6 pm, the patients started to increase, and it was just as Xiao Wu said, they were mostly some little children either having a cold or a fever.
At around 11 pm, everyone was basically done with their work, and the hospital started to quieten down, leaving Ye Mo and Xiao Wu with some free time.
Xiao WUsaid to Ye Mo: "I'll go get something to eat quickly as I also have a night shift, do you want anything?"
Ye Mo waved his hand as he wasn't hungry yet. Seeing Xiao Wu walk out, he went to the toilet and also brought his medical briefcase with him.
"You, come with me, I have some things that I need you to help me with," a middle-aged doctor wearing a white gown coincidentally met Ye Mo who just came out of the toilet and stopped him.
Ye Mo didn't even want to pay attention to this guy but after thinking about how his tone sounded like a supervisor or something, if he knew he was taking a shift for Xu Wei, then he would probably give Xu Wei a hard time.
The doctor took Ye Mo to the emergency ward and asked, "Which ward are you from?"
"I..."
Before Ye Mo could even find an excuse, the doctor's phone started ringing. He picked up and only said a few sentences before getting angry. He had an argument with the person on the phone for quite a while before Ye Mo heard him say: " Divorce then, you shameless…"
Finishing his call, this middle-aged man couldn't be bothered with Ye Mo anymore. He took his clothes off and took a bag before turning to leave.
Just when Ye Mo stood up, a nurse and a twenty-year-old girl were accompanying a sixty-year-old elderly here.
"Who are you? Where is doctor Cui?" Although Ye Mo had a mouth mask, this nurse could tell he wasn't doctor Cui with just one glance and asked worriedly.
