My Terrible Life in Those Years

I chuckled: "What could possibly be wrong? If I can't even handle something this simple, what have I been doing all this time?"

Old Liu chuckled when he saw that I could still joke around.

In fact, my heart was still filled with turmoil.

We don't know how things will develop yet, and if things go wrong, I could be completely kicked out.

To be honest, if Aunt Shu fully supports and protects me, I certainly won't have any worries.

But my relationship with her, or rather, my role as a temporary worker, wasn't important enough to warrant my full support and unwavering protection.

Once eliminated, even with that recording in hand, it would be difficult to maintain control of the project.

Just then, a faint smell of disinfectant wafted over.

"Hey handsome, I've done some basic first aid on that worker's wound, the bleeding's stopped."

It's that little nurse.

She had her hair tied in a ponytail, wore a mask so her face couldn't be seen, and was wearing a white coat so her figure couldn't be discerned either, but her voice was light and clear, clearly indicating that she was a young girl.

I looked down and saw a nameplate on the chest of her white coat, which read her name: Ma Li!

"Oh, okay. Thank you. Do you feel it's serious?"

"It's hard to say right now; we need to check it with a machine to be accurate," Ma Li said cautiously.

I nodded, knowing that this definitely required hands-on practice.

She sat down next to me and looked me up and down with curiosity.

"How old are you this year?"

Huh? What do you mean? I'm not a patient, why are you asking my age?

Old Liu answered first: "Nurse, he's 22 and doesn't have a girlfriend yet!"

I glared at that big mouth of his.

The young nurse, Ma Li, barely reacted to what he said.

"Only 22? I can't believe it. The way he spoke and acted just now doesn't seem like something someone that young would do."

Huh? What does that mean? They're not giving out "good guy" cards anymore, but "excellent" cards?

Old Liu immediately chimed in, saying that this guy had always had a strong fascination with professional women, especially those wearing work clothes, like white lab coats.

"Right? Girl, don't you think he did a good job? But you don't know, do you? I taught him everything!"

The nurse clearly knew he was talking nonsense, but she still smiled politely.

Seeing that she wasn't paying much attention to him, Old Liu deliberately struck up a conversation: "Hey, girl, where's Lu Yao? Didn't he come today?"

Ma Li was taken aback: "What Lu Yao? Where did she go?"

In an instant, I knew what this guy wanted to say.

He was beaming with pride, while I felt a little helpless, yet we both replied in unison, "Time will tell!"

The nurse then realized that we were joking about her name.

You can't tell her expression from behind the mask, but you can still tell from her eyes that she seemed both shy and annoyed, yet also a little amused.

Old Liu made a joke, and the atmosphere in the car relaxed a little.

When they arrived at the hospital, the company's accountant, Xiao Gu, was already there.

When the stern-faced worker saw that the accountant had actually arrived, his expression relaxed completely.

They quickly directed the doctors and nurses to check this and that.

Then, I basically couldn't get involved in any of the expenses or specific inspections. I just followed along with Lao Liu and went through the procedures.

While waiting for the test results, Lao Liu and I found a place to sit down and get some fresh air.

I called Aunt Shu to report what happened, and also briefly mentioned that Wu Bo had called me in the middle of it.

"Okay, Xiao Gu told me about it. He'll let me know when the test results are out. But you should be prepared, you're going to get a scolding from Manager Wu!"

After saying that, she actually giggled on the phone, and my mind immediately conjured up her trembling face!

I know that she has found an opportunity to make me get punished so that she can get revenge on me from time to time, which makes her feel balanced and comfortable.

This time, I bypassed Wu Bo again and reported directly to Aunt Shu, completely deviating from Wu Bo's instructions in handling matters.

Of course, this would be a plus for Aunt Shu, but for Wu Bo, it could only be described as appalling.

How could I possibly stand this?

To be honest, I never really treated her like a dignified superior.

"If I really get punished, I'll hug my pillow and cry my heart out!"

These words had a double meaning, and only she understood them.

Trying to take advantage of me verbally? Unless...

Unsurprisingly, she exclaimed, "You bastard!"

The phone slammed down!

Old Liu looked puzzled: "Are you on the phone with your superior, that General Manager Shu?"

I fiddled with the phone, glancing at him sideways.

"Yes, he's a professional manager the boss hired; he's the company's second-in-command, the vice president!"

How old is she?

"Why ask that? She can be as cunning as someone in their forties or fifties, and as simple as someone in their eighteens. I don't really know the specifics."

"Oh, that sounds like a lot of different things? To me, it sounds like you're talking to an old flame, not your boss."

This guy, if any woman speaks to me even slightly kindly, he'll insist on bringing up those kinds of things.

I couldn't be bothered with him. Once I told him about what happened between me and Aunt Shu a few days ago, he would definitely drag me to see what Aunt Shu looked like.

"Why are you concerned about my boss? You should be more concerned about that Lu Yao; he's a true uniform-wearing type!"

I teased him in return.

Old Liu immediately beamed: "Hey, I have a feeling this girl is definitely a beauty. Even with a mask on, I can tell."

"What if it's a dinosaur?"

My favorite thing to do is to pour cold water on him, because he's done a lot of things to me too.

"Bullshit! Take back the word 'dinosaur' right now!" he roared.

"Look at that figure. Even though she's hidden under her uniform, it can't hide her beauty. And look at her height—she's only half a height shorter than me, making it easy for me to put my arm around her and walk down the street. And look at her front and back—she's definitely got a great figure!"

My mouth is watering!

"I've made up my mind. This time when I go back, I'll quit my job, return to Huacheng, and work hard with you. We'll prove ourselves!"

Before I could kick him and tell him to calm down, a crisp voice rang out above us.

"Who do you mean to take down?"

The tone of his voice carried a hint of accusation.

Lao Liu and I quickly turned around and saw that it was the young nurse, Ma Li.

She was holding a large stack of receipts, and two pens were stuck in her shirt pocket, trembling with her breath.

How could Lao Liu be stumped by such a question from a young girl?

"Oh, I just told my best friend that no matter what, I'd be on his side, but he didn't believe me. So I said, 'Time will tell!'"

Ma Li opened her mouth, but was speechless.

"I've received the test results. Would you like me to give you a brief overview of the situation?"

She pulled me aside to talk about serious matters, and Lao Liu, not taking it seriously, smiled and moved closer to listen.
