It's late at night.
After Liu Xuzhi finished the last operation of the day, he sent the patient back and stretched himself.
The lumbar spine creaked a few times, which seemed to remind him that at his age, it was already overwhelmed by carrying a lead garment for interventional surgery for a long time.
"Old Liu, the operation is getting faster and faster." Lin Jiaojiao said with a smile.
"Boss, you've thanked me for the award." Liu Xuzhi took off the sterile cap. The disposable sterile cap had been soaked through by sweat.
Liu Xuzhi's hair was gray and had been pressed down by the sterile cap for seven or eight hours. He looked like a pile of weeds.
But his face was very good and flushed.
Ever since I came to the Imperial Capital, my life has been moving forward, unlike in Xilin Town, where I was just dawdling around every day.
"This is your surgery fee for today." Lin Jiaojiao took an envelope, made of kraft paper, which was stuffed bulgingly.
She was wondering why the humble but stubborn old doctor in front of her was so determined to ask for cash.
Nowadays, you can pay by scanning QR code on WeChat and Alipay, and mobile bank transfers can be transferred to your account in almost seconds. Who still uses cash
If you carry 100 yuan in cash in your pocket, you may not be able to use it for a month.
Maybe it's the custom of a border town.
Lin Jiaojiao still respected Liu Xuzhi in all details.
It seems that Liu Xuzhi is a bad old man, he has become old and scumbag, but he is really solid and resistant. Wearing a lead suit, at least 6 surgeries are performed every day. It was only the afternoon. He had been in the imperial capital in the morning and had to go on stage with Zhu Liangchen.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't know how Liu Xuzhi's surgical skills had improved after Boss Zheng gave him an operation, but the time for each operation was shortened by about 30%.
It seems that having such a bad old man performing surgery under him is more suitable than Boss Zheng.
Lin Jiaojiao thought to herself.
Boss Zheng? I can't afford it myself. If he were here, I would probably have to bend down to serve him every day, fearing that Boss Zheng would just walk away if he was not satisfied.
The bad old man in front of me cherishes this job very much and works risklessly.
Lin Jiaojiao found it interesting when she saw Liu Xuzhi taking the brown paper envelope and squeezing it with his fingers so hard that his nails were a little pale.
It's just that I am too tired today. I have been very busy during this period, and I have no time to relieve my fatigue.
My head hurts a little. I wish I could be as resistant as Liu Xuzhi.
Lin Jiaojiao put her hand on her temples and rubbed them gently.
"Boss, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Liu Xuzhi was very unskilled in flattering him.
The expression is artificial, although not exaggerated, it is very stiff. He himself is not that kind of person, otherwise he would not have held an official position in Xilin Town for so many years.
"I'm a little tired. You should pack up and go back." Lin Jiaojiao smiled reluctantly, "Make sure you get more rest when you go back. Originally, I was going to say hello to Director Zhu, but I thought it would be better for you and your family to have a business establishment." Explain inside."
Halfway through her words, Lin Jiaojiao felt a little uncomfortable and paused.
"Boss, thank you for your trouble." Liu Xuzhi moved his lips slightly, but in the end he did not continue. Instead, he said hello and turned around to change clothes.
Lin Jiaojiao found it particularly funny when she saw him clutching the manila envelope tightly, as if someone was trying to steal his money.
How good is the public security now, let alone more than 10,000 yuan in cash. Even if you walk around the streets of the imperial capital with 100,000 in cash, nothing will happen.
Different from the previous years, Lin Jiaojiao sat down on the chair tiredly, and the assistant came up and rubbed her temples knowingly.
Lin Jiaojiao still remembered that when she first resigned, she took the money to Pengcheng to learn beauty techniques and bought some hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin.
I held my bag carefully all the way, and I couldn't even sleep well.
As for Yangcheng, I didn’t even dare to go there at that time. Especially that side of the train station. Now that I think about the rumors, I still feel a lingering fear.
But that is all in the past, and now it has become a legend...
Thinking about it, Lin Jiaojiao felt the pain all over her body became a little heavier. She wanted to frown, but stopped immediately.
Just kidding, hundreds of thousands are thrown into this face every year, which is all real money. How can you frown and laugh casually
Hundreds of thousands can buy a bad old man like Liu Xuzhi who is desperate, but still consciously and voluntarily squeezes out all the vitality in his body.
Not to mention how many injections are given every year, the smog in the Imperial City has become lighter during this period. When the sun comes out, the ultraviolet rays are much stronger than in previous years. Just how much whitening cosmetics are used!
Looking young, it is all made of real money.
"Sister, you have been very tired these days and always feel uncomfortable. How about we go to the hospital?" Lin Jiaojiao's assistant asked softly.
"No, I've been suffering from insomnia and dreaminess recently..." As she said that, Lin Jiaojiao sighed, "I'm just old. No matter how many cosmetics I use or how many injections I get, I can't change the reality. This is an objective law. I really envy you young people. "
"Look at what you said, what do I have to envy?"
"You are young." Lin Jiaojiao said: "When I was young, I only worked hard to make money. Looking back now, what can I do if I make money? Flowers will bloom again, and no one will be young anymore."
The assistant didn't say anything, he just complained in his heart that if he didn't have money, he might not be able to live to grow old.
"Remember to remind me to make an appointment with Boss Zheng for dinner this week." Lin Jiaojiao said softly with her eyes closed.
"Um."
"My memory is getting worse and worse." Lin Jiaojiao sighed.
It’s unbelievable that he would turn around and forget about his appointment with Boss Zheng. Boss Zheng's business has been booming recently, and he has spent so much money on it, so he always wants Boss Zheng to do something.
Even if he invites Boss Zheng to perform two more surgeries on Liu Xuzhi, it is still possible.
"Let's go." Lin Jiaojiao shook her head, subconsciously rejecting the fact that she was getting older.
Although she looks about thirty, no amount of cosmetics and beauty injections can bring her biological age back from her forties back to her twenties.
"Sister, what did you say?" Lin Jiaojiao's assistant asked in a daze.
"Huh?" Lin Jiaojiao was startled for a moment, then she reached for the handbag placed on the operating table. But the hand was shaking slightly and the position was deviated.
She didn't get such a big handbag... Lin Jiaojiao's first thought was that she had a cerebral infarction!
The assistant quickly supported Lin Jiaojiao.
"You didn't listen to what I just said..."
After saying only half of a sentence, Lin Jiaojiao realized that she didn't even know what she was talking about. What was originally a simple sentence came out mumbled and slurred, as if there was an egg in the mouth.
"Call 120!" Lin Jiaojiao tried her best to suppress her inner fear and explained her meaning as briefly as possible.
The assistant picked up the phone in panic.
"Call Boss Zheng again!"
