Chapter 68
Xenia Xu blushed and she seemed hesitant. However, when she saw that Fade Chen was about to go out, she suddenly said, "Doctor Chen, wait a minute. I would like to treat you for dinner."
"Oh!" Fade Chen was surprised and then grinned, "Xenia, why? Isn't a date?"
Xenia Xu immediately blushed and said, "Of course not. Please don't overthink, Dr. Chen. I just wanted to express my gratitude since you helped me in the afternoon"
"Well, I see. As my lovely colleague invites me to dinner, I must say yes." Fade Chen smiled and said, "Let's go. I'm starving."
"Alright!" The young lady smiled and quickly began to pack up.
Forty minutes later, they arrived in a street full of restaurants.
After parking the bike, the two of them walked halfway down the street. Fade Chen decided to get some casual snacks, but Xenia Xu insisted that they go to a proper restaurant.
They walked into the restaurant and called for the waiter to order food. Suddenly, they heard a woman saying. "Hey, Xenia, are you dining here too?"
Xenia Xu turned her head and saw a fashionable young girl with heavy makeup flashing her eyes at them with a smile.
"Christine Fan, what a coincidence!" Xenia Xu greeted her with a smile and introduced Fade Chen at the same time, "This is my classmate."
"Waiter, I'm going to change my seat. When other guests come, let them sit here." Christine Fan moved immediately to Xenia Xu's table and said with a smile, "Xenia Xu, we have graduated for a year and I haven't seen you around. Are you still working in Bay City?"
"Yeah, I'm still working at Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc." Xenia Xu said softly, but her tone wasn't too welcoming.
When Christine Fan heard this, her eyes brightened, and she sighed with emotion, "Hey, Xenia, you are really good! You've joined a big company as soon as you graduated. The work is easy and it's also a privileged work there. I've been working as a nurse in the city hospital for a year. I finally just got promoted after such a long time."
This woman seemed to be complaining about her job, but the meaning behind her words made Fade Chen frown. He understood why Xenia Xu didn't like to speak with her.
"Really? You've been promoted. Congratulations," Xenia Xu said blandly, without a hint of envy. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Christine Fan couldn't help but frown slightly, and her expression was a little bit disappointed. At that moment, the crisp snap of the leather shoes sounded, and a man in his early thirties, dressed carefully, came over.
Seeing him, Christine Fan immediately smiled and waved to the man, saying, "Zach, come here."
The man came over and glanced at Fade Chen and Xenia Xu. He was clearly surprised and smiled as his eyes landed on Xenia Xu.
"Why did you change your seat?" The man sat opposite Christine and asked.
Christine Fan looked at Xenia Xu and said, "I met my ex-classmate. Come over and have a chat."
When Zach Wang heard the word "classmate", he couldn't help looking at Xenia Xu again. With a bright smile on his face, he took the initiative to reach out his hand and said, "Hello, I am Zach. Christine's colleague at the city hospital."
Xenia Xu felt uncomfortable when Zach Wang looked at her. Instead of reaching out to her hand, she picked up her teacup and said lightly, "I'm Xenia, Christine's classmate."
Zach Wang was trying to chat further, but the waiter came over with the food. Fade Chen asked Xenia Xu to start having her dinner and intimately picked up some food for her. Xenia Xu smiled, looking very satisfied.
Seeing this, Zach Wang's face darkened. He looked at over at Christine Fan and whispered, "Christine, your classmate is lovely. You're going to help me to get her and I'm going to give you a promotion."
Christine Fan was a little distressed about that. After all, she had put in so much effort in Zach Wang for several months in order to get a promotion. Unexpectedly, Zach Wang quickly changed his feelings the moment he laid his eyes on Xenia Xu.
She was frustrated. She wanted to make trouble, but she also realized that her appearance was not as good as Xenia Xu's. If she refused directly, Zach Wang would fire her from the hospital. Therefore, she could only help Zach Wang take on Xenia Xu and get some benefits for herself.
But at this moment, they didn't notice that Fade Chen had heard all of the whispers, which made Fade Chen's expression turn cold.
Christine Fan did not notice Fade Chen, but began to assist Zach Wang to chat with Xenia Xu with excitement. "Xenia, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc is good for now, however, the position is not so suitable for you. You can't get a raise working there. Moreover, working in a hospital seems to be more stable. Have you ever thought about changing your job?"
Without waiting for Xenia Xu's reply, Christine Fan immediately pointed at Zach Wang and said, "Xenia, Zach is the Director of the Department of Orthopedics at the city hospital. He can assist you in changing your job with just a quick word and transfer you to the city hospital. You know,..."
Xenia Xu realized Christine Fan's intention and interrupted her quickly. She said blandly, "No, thank you. I am happy working here."
At this time, Fade Chen took the opportunity to pick up some food and whispered what he had just heard to Xenia Xu.
Seeing how intimate they were, Zach Wang could not help but squint his eyes. He looked at Fade Chen and said, "This is..."
Xenia Xu glanced at Fade Chen and blushed slightly. Then she said, "Fade Chen is my boyfriend." Xenia and Fade knew that the pair before them had evil intentions, hence she decided to have Fade Chen pretend to be her boyfriend.
Once Zach Wang heard this, his expression looked a little bit hideous. He glanced at Christine Fan.
Christine Fan understood what was happening. She raised her glass and said to Xenia Xu, "Xenia, how long have you been together? Why haven't I heard of him?"
Xenia Xu said, "Fade Chen is my colleague.
We've been together for months."
"Your colleague?" Zach Wang looked at Fade Chen. "Mr. Chen is also a medical student? Which medical college did you graduate from?"
Christine Fan said, "Director Wang is a doctoral student at the Bay City Medical Institute. He has overseas study experience. So he became the director of the department at the university despite being so young."
Ignoring the other party's bragging, Fade Chen said humbly, "I haven't studied at any university. I only learned a little Chinese Traditional Medical knowledge on my own."
"Chinese Traditional Medical knowledge?" Zach Wang curled his lips disdainfully and then said, "Oh, since when the requirements of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc has dropped so low! Mr. Chen is not joking, is he?"
Christine Fan spoke, "Xenia, you are kind and innocent. Don't be cheated by someone, or it will be too late to regret."
Xenia Xu shook her head and said, "Thank you. I can distinguish good and bad by myself."
After that, she fed Fade Chen with food intimately and they continued with their dinner.
