Fu Yanzhi smiled as slightly bowed as he stepped down.

The following speeches didn’t catch Ji Qingying’s attention at all.

She couldn’t help but secretly text Fu Yanzhi.

Ji Qingying: 【Doctor Fu, you are amazing! You are my idol!】

Ji Qingying: 【And you were so dashing today~】

Ji Qingying: 【Everyone ended up praising you!】

Fu Yanzhi didn't reply immediately, probably because he was busy.

When the competition was over, Zhao Yidong looked at her before saying, “I guess Dr Fu will be called by the director to talk, so you’ll probably have to wait.”

"Mm-hmm. It's okay."

Zhao Yidong waved her hands as she cheekily smiled, “You’re welcome!”

She quickly added, “You know I'm rooting for you, right?”

Ji Qingying laughed, “So what are our plans? Do you want to join us for dinner?”

Zhao Yidong thought for a while before replying, “I’m not so sure. It’s only natural that the winner should be the one to treat, but since a lot of our other colleagues in the department are not here, I guess it’s better for us to wait until everyone is free.”

Ji Qingying agreed, “But you’re here now. You, Dr Xu, and even Dr Lin. Why don’t we all have a meal together?”

She took the initiative to invite everyone.

“Okay.”

"Great."

While the two were chatting, an unknown yet familiar voice sounded out from the side, asking, “Are you busy right now?”

Su Wanying looked at Ji Qingying with her lips pursed, “Can we talk?”

Ji Qingying was taken aback.

“Dr Su! She’s clearly having a conversation with me here, so isn’t this a bit rude?” Zhao Yidong hesitantly replied.

Su Wanying glanced at her before saying lightly, “I won’t do anything to her. So, can we talk or not?”

Ji Qingying nodded, but said, “Yes, but we can’t go too far.”

"Just there."

Ji Qingying didn't refuse and followed her over.

The two women stood a short distance from the entrance of the auditorium. Su Wanying looked at the woman opposite her, took a deep breath before saying, “I’m sorry.”

Ji Qingying was startled and looked at the other party with incredulity.

“I haven’t had the courage to apologize to you before, but I know I was in the wrong.” Su Wanying softly added after a little pause.

Ji Qingying fixed her gaze on her before asking, “Because of Dr Fu?”

Su Wanying nodded, “I previously said something bad about you in the hospital, for that I am truly sorry.”

She then added, “I don’t expect for you to forgive me, but I am still apologizing for my past mistakes for my own peace of mind.”

She looked at Ji Qingying before showing a relieved smile, “I figured that I should start not forcing my feelings on everyone. Anyways, I wish you and Dr Fu happiness!”

Ji Qingying could help but stare at her for a long time before smiling, “Thank you. In fact, I didn’t really hate you.”

It was Su Wanying’s turn to be stunned.

Ji Qingying continued, “The fact that you couldn’t get over the person you were chasing was entirely your business. Everyone’s different. Of course, it was entirely inappropriate for you to stab in the back over something I had no say in, so I found that highly reprehensible.”

“But I’ve asked Zhao Yidong about you too, thus I’ve heard some things about you as well. You’re a leader in your department, so we can share in pride taking pride in our work.”#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

Ji Qingying pursed her lips. “It is true that Dr Fu and I don’t have much in common. But that isn’t an issue at all for us. I am willing to learn about things from his line of work, and he was willing to broaden his horizons with regards to what I loved to do as well.

Ji Qingying paused a moment before smiling, “So what you’re concerned about would never happen.”

She looked Su Wanying straight in the eyes, and said matter-of-factly, “So I never really hated you. For one, you never really harmed me, and two, because you’re a doctor.”

“I believe that all doctors must be, in their heart of hearts, truly kind.”

“So I accept your apology and I also wish you a happy future! Find someone who’ll really like you and who you’ll really like back!”

Su Wanying was stunned yet again before listlessly responding, “Thanks.”

She still wanted to speak some more, but a familiar voice could be her from the side. It was Fu Yanzhi’s.

When Fu Yanzhi saw the two together, he frowned.

Ji Qingying stopped his train of thought by raising her hand, “Wait for me for a moment.”

Fu Yanzhi paused his steps.

Ji Qingying glanced sideways at Su Wanying, “I’ll be going now. Thank you for the apology!”

She just had to add, “In fact, I sometimes think that it isn’t good to always be so proud. Having some humble pie every once in a while is a good thing for everyone!”

After she finished, she didn’t wait for Su Wanying's response before trotting over to Fu Yanzhi’s side.

Su Wanying gazed at the two walking further away, seeing a smile blossom on Fu Yanzhi’s face. He even took the initiative to hold Ji Qingying’s hand. Her felt a pang in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it.

Her jealousy gradually faded into oblivion.

She knew she was very proud.

Since she was a child, she had stood out. Whether it was her family background, looks, or studies. Even from her first job after graduation, countless people have envied her!

Su Wanying had liked Fu Yanzhi very much.

She and Fu Yanzhi were schoolmates, but had different majors.

Su Wanying knew of Fu Yanzhi’s charisma even when they were just students, so it didn’t come as a surprise that he was so popular. She had also felt she was quite the catch as well.

When she got to know the real Fu Yanzhi, she couldn’t deny that she was moved as well.

But since she was a child, she has never chased anyone before. She had always been the one being chased.

Being too proud, she would only occasionally use work-related excuses to get to talk to Fu Yanzhi.

However, the opportunities to interact with Fu Yanzhi came few and far between. She had only gotten more opportunities to interact with him when the two got employed in the same hospital.#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

But their conversations never veered away from professional matters.

Though, it was only a matter of time before someone noticed her feelings.

Su Wanying played coy for all this time, neither admitting or denying the rumors. She thought that as they grew closer to each other, Fu Yanzhi would gradually fall for her and would take the initiative.

She kept waiting and waiting, but all she got was the spreading rumor of a woman in the hospital chasing after Fu Yanzhi.
