Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 73 Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first

Bai Wei took a quick breath, but found herself at a loss for words.

I have no relation to Zhuo Tong; we are just doctor and patient's family.

What's a little unusual about him is that he's willing to be used as a teaching tool, to be played with freely in front of a group of students.

Logically speaking, it's already quite unusual for someone to take the initiative to invite a patient's family to dinner, but they can still deceive themselves by saying it's a way of repaying a previous debt.

If you were to actually ask him if he wanted to avoid you, what would be the reason?

Bai Wei couldn't answer, and she couldn't figure it out herself.

That's it! I've got it!
Of all my understanding of him, one thing is absolutely correct.

Moreover, the fact that I can ask him to stay without feeling guilty can be entirely based on my initial curiosity about him.

I want to know why his body has so many advantages over other men.

She said it casually:
"If you're willing to become my research subject, I can give you even more rewards."

Even though it was the first time they met, he seemed incredibly eager and kept trying to get her contact information.

Combined with Zhuo Tong's own account of his romantic history, he is definitely a womanizer; otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to maintain any of his relationships and would have kept changing partners.

But Zhuo Tong simply took a sip of lemonade and calmly declined the suggestion:

"I think I told you before, Dr. Bai, that my willingness to serve as teaching aids was entirely due to your special status as my mother's surgeon."

"Besides, I paid you, and you, as a doctor, receive a salary and then give it your all. That's only natural and that's called 'contractual spirit'."

"Now that the surgery is over, I have no debt to you. I'll waive the research subject requirement, and I don't care about the reward at all."

Just kidding, I have four juicers waiting for me in my room on the roof.

Even disregarding those four, there are still so many girls who can trigger the system's mechanisms, eagerly waiting to complete their tasks or trigger new tasks through interaction.

I'm so busy!

Even if a time management master came along, they couldn't plan every day as perfectly as I do.

So I didn't care about that tiny reward at all, even though the experience was actually quite interesting.

Even if you want to experience it, the four little flowers with super learning abilities, who can replace your little tricks, Bai Wei?

Besides, where would I find the time to be a research subject for someone as high and mighty as Dr. Bai?

It's probably something that would make people laugh, and then they'd write a short essay to mock it.

"I'm already financially independent, and you expect me to be your lapdog?"

Seeing Zhuo Tong's righteous and resolute refusal, Bai Wei suddenly realized what was going on.

Only then did I realize that it was the other person who had been accommodating and tolerating me from beginning to end.

He was still the same as before, used to relying on his status and position to give orders to others and take it for granted that he could get what he wanted from them.

They never consider other people's feelings, nor do they ever think about what the other person wants or doesn't want.

This way of dealing with people and things doesn't require any deliberate learning; it's even inherited from our genes.

From childhood, I was influenced by what I saw and heard, and I have been subconsciously imitating that man's way of doing things.

But what I hate most is this arrogant, haughty, and oblivious attitude.

She realized that she had to take the initiative to try to understand other people's thoughts.

Just as Bai Wei was about to speak, Zhuo Tong reached out and beckoned to head chef Liang Qiwei:
"Master Liang, those dishes that are ready can be served now." "Okay."

Bai Wei's meals are the simplest, with boiled shrimp that needs to be prepared and cooked in advance, and broccoli steamed.

For the rest, you basically just need to wash the ingredients and then mix them with the sauce.

However, considering that Bai Wei might prefer a healthier diet, he put the sauce in a separate bowl and served it with the main dish.

Zhuo Tong's side served the dishes relatively quickly, because there were a few dishes he had really wanted to try beforehand, so he instructed Liang Qiwei to prepare them in advance before Bai Wei arrived.

"Dr. Bai, you must be tired from work today. Let's have some lunch first."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing the conversation, Bai Wei had no choice but to swallow back all the words she had just carefully chosen.

"Does he hate me that much? Was it because of that incident in the classroom that hurt his pride?"

Looking back now, I realize that my behavior was indeed a bit excessive.

No one could stand the thought of a man having his prostate massaged in front of a group of female students.

In addition, since he was not just teaching, he also thought that "his other hand was free anyway," so he attacked from both sides.

A man like him must care a lot about his image in a woman's eyes.

This was the first time Bai Wei had ever silently tried to guess what others were thinking, and she found it quite novel. She quickly realized that there was a lot to learn about it.

To understand what others are thinking, you need to apply professional knowledge such as social psychology, personality psychology, and cognitive psychology.

Thinking this way, she seemed to feel that she wasn't so resistant to the act of "putting herself in someone else's shoes" anymore.

I never used to care about how others perceived me or how they reacted to my behavior.

Because she only lives for herself.

"Dr. Bai, what's wrong? Is it because these dishes don't suit your taste? You can ask Chef Liang to prepare some new ones."

Coming to her senses, Bai Wei blinked and then gently shook her head:
"No, I was just thinking about something."

Zhuo Tong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a friendly smile:

"Dr. Bai works so hard every day, he can't even concentrate on eating. He is truly a competent and good doctor."

As he spoke, he gently pushed another sea-caught grouper dish in front of Bai Wei:
"You have to concentrate on your meal, otherwise you'll waste the chef's efforts and the value of the ingredients themselves."

Bai Wei nodded and gently cut the fish fillet placed on the soft mashed potatoes with a knife.

This fish fillet is made from the back of the grouper, which has tender and delicate flesh that is low in fat and high in protein.

Add to that the black truffle butter sauce used to adjust the flavor, and the texture becomes rich and layered, making it much tastier than light meals that are simply boiled in water.

Moreover, as we all know, Western dishes are served in small portions, so eating just a little bit won't affect your nutritional intake at all.

Seeing that Zhuo Tong was already focused on tasting the food with his head down, Bai Wei felt relieved and started eating as well.

Although Zhuo Tong did not ask Chef Liang to follow the order of Western meals, he still tried his best to prepare the dishes in the order of appetizers, soup, main course, and dessert.

He simply wanted to try more main dishes and didn't want to eat the sour, hard, dry bread rolls, so he didn't order any appetizers.

Since the main dish, grouper, had been served, the black pork and fish maw soup was naturally also on the table, waiting for them to taste.

As Cantonese people who have grown up with soup at every meal, Zhuo Tong and Bai Wei still found it hard to resist seeing such a Chinese soup on the table.

However... the ingredients in this soup are a bit strange. At least, Zhuo Tong was hesitant to take a bite when she first saw it.
