Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 169 Am I only worth a bottle of aloe vera gel?

"So, you saw the whole thing?"

"Ah."

Bai Wei didn't dodge the question; she openly admitted it, which made her seem somewhat indifferent.

Zhuo Tong was quite surprised after hearing her story.

I originally thought she must have started watching it midway through her second overtime shift.

Unexpectedly, she started watching it during the latter part of her first day of work.

In other words, she even saw the entire process of her first shift ending, followed by a break, and then her second shift working overtime.

During the break to wash up, she didn't leave immediately, but instead hid there and watched.

"But the first round is already over, why do you still want to watch it?"

"There's no reason why, I just wanted to see it."

Bai Wei considered for a moment, then explained:
"To be honest, I'd like to see how you react after you finish work."

"After all, the initial passion has faded, and the body's hormone levels have returned to normal. Logically, the emotions should gradually cool down."

"I didn't expect that you would recover from the fatigue of the first trip so quickly and be able to continue with the second trip."

"You're recovering even faster today than last time."

"..."

Zhuo Tong was speechless.

This physical enhancement couldn't have come earlier or later, it just happened right when I was about to meet Bai Wei, and then she immediately squeezed me dry.

Is there no justice left? Is there no law left? How come even the system is playing me, aiding and abetting Bai Wei's evil deeds?

Zhuo Tong cursed inwardly, wondering if the system was popping up the task at just the right time as compensation.

[Special Mission: Alfred the Butler. When Batman returned to Wayne Manor severely injured, it was Alfred who cleaned and bandaged his wounds. You might want to have one too.]

[Task Details: Have Bai Wei heal your injury once; the size and location are not limited.]

[Task Reward: Heartfelt Notebook (3 times)]

Zhuo Tong rubbed his eyes in disbelief, only to find that the text on the panel had neither disappeared nor changed.

"Such a simple task? There are no restrictions on the size or location of the injury, and there's not even a time limit. It can be completed with ease."

"So much so that if I prick my skin with a needle and let it bleed, and then have her put a band-aid on it, that would be considered healing, right?"

"I just don't know what this mission reward... Bai Wei's Heart Book... is all about."

Zhuo Tong didn't think much of it. Anyway, the task was very simple to complete, and he would know what the reward was once he got it.

Bai Wei noticed him wiping his eyes and casually asked:
"What happened to you? Did you get something in your eyes?"

"No...it's nothing, my eyes are just a little dry."

He couldn't very well tell her that he had just been looking at the system's task panel.

Zhuo Tong suddenly came to his senses:

"Yes, isn't this a perfect opportunity for her to help me with my medical treatment and injuries?"

"I just told her that I had an eye allergy and needed to apply medication, and that was enough to complete the task."

But as soon as this idea came to mind, a prompt popped up on the panel:

[Task Hint: The injury must be real and healed by Bai Wei for the task to be considered complete.]

"It seems there are still some restrictions, otherwise it would be better to just give the reward away for free."

"Overall, it was relatively simple. Consider it compensation from you." Zhuo Tong cursed the damn system in his heart. If it weren't for it, he wouldn't have suffered so much today.

"Um... Dr. Bai, look at this spot where you were applying medicine. Now you've ruined it like this."

He pointed to the area that had just become inflamed and swollen, which was still congested and burning with pain.

It should be considered to meet the condition of "real, existing injury".

"Then I'll apply aloe vera gel to you."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

Bai Wei squeezed the aloe vera gel she had just taken out onto her hand and carefully applied it all over the inflamed and swollen areas.

Wherever aloe vera gel was applied, Zhuo Tong felt the burning sensation instantly dissipate, replaced by a refreshing, bone-chilling coolness.

Aloe vera gel can penetrate deep into the skin, promote skin cell metabolism, help repair damaged skin, and relieve skin problems such as sunburn, cuts, or minor burns.

It also has antioxidant properties, which help slow down the aging process and promote skin elasticity and smoothness.

Therefore, it is very common in the fields of skin care, medicine, and cosmetics.

However, when Bai Wei took out the aloe vera gel from her bag without hesitation, Zhuo Tong was already certain that she had planned this all along.

"Dr. Bai, tell me honestly, when did you make this plan?"

"Yesterday, after I saw you and that technician."

How can you be so sure that I will definitely go back to school today?

“I met your assistant at the hospital. I asked her for her information and got her contact details.”

Zhuo Tong was shocked. She never expected that the person who betrayed her was her most trusted assistant.
It's truly a failure to not even know you're keeping a ghost in your house!

"During the time between when I arrived at the hospital and when you appeared?"

"Yes, I told her I was your mother's attending physician. Once I got her contact information, I had another way to contact you."

"Or if there is an emergency, since she is the one who is in charge of driving, you can let her pick up and drop off your mother instead."

Zhuo Tong listened and couldn't help but click his tongue twice:

"You cunning and treacherous woman."

"I'm just telling the truth. I found out about your trip back to school today from her last night."

Originally, there wasn't much to talk about at this point, but Bai Wei hesitated for a moment before adding:
"If possible, don't blame her; she's doing it for your own good."

The sudden request stunned Zhuo Tong, but she quickly recovered:
"Of course not, after all, you are the culprit, and you took advantage of my naive and easily fooled assistant."

"You're right."

Bai Wei finished applying the aloe vera gel with a blank expression. There was still more than half a bottle left, but she didn't take it with her. Instead, she put it in Zhuo Tong's hands.

"Here, take this whole bottle as compensation for today. Remember to apply it often when you get home so it will heal faster."

"Dr. Bai, I've practically ruined you beyond recognition, and all you give me is half a bottle of used aloe vera gel?"

"I'm a multi-millionaire, I don't think I'm so easy to fool, am I?"

But she seemed unconcerned, continuing to tidy up the table as if nothing was wrong.

"You said you're a multi-millionaire, so you don't need the little money I give you. It's a small gift but a big sentiment."

"Oh, right."

Bai Wei carefully put the two notebooks on the table into her bag, but because one of them was stained with Zhuo Tong's tears, she specially wrapped it in a plastic bag.

"I'm very satisfied with today's data. I might need to do more experiments with you later."
