MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 23
It took Tao Xiaodong more than a month to leave this trip. It was a little cold when I came back.
People in the store said that Brother Dong was too willful, and he would leave as soon as he wanted to, but Rhubarb smiled and said to let him go.
After I came back, I worked hard for a long time. I arrived at the store on time at 8 o'clock in the morning every day, and didn't leave until dark at night, and I worked overtime from time to time to post pictures.
From an irresponsible boss to a model worker.
One day at the end of September, the nurse girl who had agreed to the medical aid came here with her boyfriend.
Tao Xiaodong didn't recognize him without his nurse's uniform, so the little girl stood in front of him and called him, "Mr. Tao!"
Only then did Tao Xiaodong recognize it and greet him.
The little girl's boyfriend was dressed as a student, and he really seemed to be a fan of Tao Xiaodong. He was very excited to see him.
Tao Xiaodong asked him, "Is your birthday today?"
"Tomorrow!" The boy felt rather embarrassed after meeting his idol, "but the appointment is today."
"Okay." Tao Xiaodong chatted with him for a few words, and the boy confessed his love after chatting, and he had to come back and add "Dongshen, you are so handsome" when he said something else.
In terms of tattoos, Tao Xiaodong is very proud, and he doesn't feel embarrassed. He glanced at the nurse and asked her jokingly: "Your boyfriend said he likes others in front of you, don't you care?"
"I don't care, he likes whomever he likes." The little girl shook her hand, "I also like others in front of him, so don't delay anyone."
The little worker next to him who was doing the preparatory work heard it and laughed along. A little mute who could hear but not speak, also laughed silently.
"It's quite free." Tao Xiaodong said as he tidied up his machine.
The picture that the boy asked was a skeleton, and he specifically said that there is no need to make a picture in advance, just follow Dongshen's hand. Tao Xiaodong probably told him about the picture below, and the boy kept nodding his head without any comments.
"Mr. Tao, you don't need to tell him. He is your fanboy. He will feel good about whatever you say. If you mess with you, it's over." The nurse said.
"Yes." The boy accepted it without hesitation.
The little mute laughed again.
There are quite a lot of fans of Tao Xiaodong, but today this one is a bit too much. Tao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Then I won't talk about it, just don't let me finish it if you don't like it."
"That's impossible."
Tao Xiaodong does not use anesthetics for tattoos, which will affect the effect. In his words, if you want to get a tattoo so much, are you afraid of the pain?
The boy could bear the pain quite well, and basically didn't make any sound. After a long time, the pain accumulated, and the head gradually became sweaty. The little girl was joking, but she still felt sorry for her boyfriend, so she started looking for something to chat with him.
The boy sat up straight, and Tao Xiaodong asked him, "Does it hurt?"
"good."
"Relax your muscles." Tao Xiaodong tapped his shoulder with his fingers, "Don't tense up."
"He may also be excited, seeing his idol, and the idol is for Zatu." The little girl said.
The boy glanced at her and laughed: "Are you sore?"
"It's sour." The little girl curled her lips, "I just had my idol train me two days ago."
"Who is the idol?" Tao Xiaodong asked casually.
"Your friend," the boy said for her, "it's Director Tang."
Tao Xiaodong stopped his movements, surprised, and looked sideways at the little girl.
"Our hospital's male god, who doesn't like it." The little nurse was quite proud, and she remembered Tang Suoyan, and said to Tao Xiaodong, "Oh, right, I told him that I came to your place today before I got off work in the morning. The director said that by the way, he will take the voice for you."
Tao Xiaodong nodded and smiled after listening, but didn't say anything.
After the person left, Tao Xiaodong sent a message to Tang Suoyan: Did you delete me?
Tang Suoyan didn't quite understand the news after he got off work, so he replied: What?
Tao Xiaodong: Didn’t delete it? If you don't delete it, you have to ask others to help you take it?
Tao Xiaodong made a joke, and Tang Suoyan replied directly, with a smile in his voice: "I haven't contacted you for a long time, and I can't find it. I almost forgot your name."
Tao Xiaodong then said, "Then let's meet one soon."
The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time. Speaking of which, since they came back from Gansu, they had seen each other and met Tangning. They haven't seen each other since that time. Tao Xiaodong went out, and the two of them didn't have a chance to see each other.
I sent a few messages to each other, even though I haven't contacted for a long time, I didn't see any strangeness in speaking, and I was still very familiar with each other.
Tao Xiaodong asked: "Would you like to come out for a meal some weekend?"
Tang Suoyan thought for a while and said, "I'm on a business trip this week, next week."
Tao Xiaodong said yes.
A verbal appointment like this doesn't necessarily count, they are all busy people, and it is not certain who will have something to do at that time.
Xia Yuan went to Tao Xiaodong twice during this time, but Tao Xiaodong didn't really want to come out, he just dealt with it perfunctorily and never saw him. Xia Yuan is a businessman, he is used to talking about things at the wine table, so he has a lot of bureaucracy, socializing outside all day long. It is true that I earn a lot of money, but sometimes I vomit black mud when I drink too much, saying that it is not easy for anyone.
When talking about things, you can’t do it alone, so you will gather together, related and unrelated friends sit in a circle, in order to make the table lively, talk about all kinds of topics, and also to make the scene look less commercial.
For Tao Xiaodong, a status-worthy and respectable tattoo artist, he had too much to talk about. So Xia Yuan often looked for him, and Tao Xiaodong went there when he was free, which was considered a favor for him. Xia Yuan had been quite successful when Tao Xiaodong was still poor, and Tao Xiaodong who had helped him knew it well. But friends don't care about these, they count more points.
This time Xia Yuan really didn't want to talk about things, he was just used to wanting to do everything with Tao Xiaodong, he was really an iron brother, he would think about it if he didn't see him for a long time.
This time it's a classmate bureau, Xia Yuan's business is inseparable from medicine, so he has to maintain the relationship with his seniors, even if it's not for the purpose of cooperating with them, but he can't leave this circle. There were more than twenty people in this room, most of them were from the medical school, including Xia Yuan, Tian Yi, and Tang Ning.
Tao Xiaodong and Tangning had another face-to-face meeting on such an occasion. This is how they met in the first place. Tao Xiaodong even helped him hold back the drink. It's quite natural to meet the two of them this time, it's time to say hello, what should I do.
In fact, Tang Ning is still different among this group of people, even though they all came from the same school, even though many of them are still doctors. Tangning was someone who could be picked out at a glance.
Tao Xiaodong looked at him through the crowd and felt that Tangning's temperament was different after all.
Tao Xiaodong knew most of the people at this table, and there were a few familiar faces. Two of them were just transferred back from other places this year. In the name of advanced studies, they wanted to stay with Toto, but it has not been implemented yet.
One of them happened to go to the ophthalmology department of the Third Hospital. He was in the glaucoma group. He had been here for half a year and wanted to stay, but he couldn't find any way out.
"It's not easy to stay. The third hospital has not accepted people for several years." Someone next to him said, "Now they are all directly selected from the medical school's sub-physicians. They are all brought out by themselves. After all, they are better than outsiders. Come in and rotate for three years. I'm in my early thirties, and I'm our age."
"Who didn't come out of the academy?" Someone sighed, "At the beginning, I thought the second and third courtyards were too hard. I didn't have a chance, so I turned around and went to a small place. Now I want to go back but I can't come back."
Among them, there were three or four who came out of the ophthalmology department, but they were all scattered in various hospitals, and none of them were in the third hospital. Suddenly someone remembered, said "Hey", and asked, "The Third Academy? Isn't that where Tang Suoyan belongs? We are directly in line with the elder brother."
Tao Xiaodong leaned back in his chair, drank water, and listened to their chat.
The one who was studying in the third hospital heard this, "sneered", and the expression on his face was quite indescribable: "What are you talking about, brother, brother and brother, it is useless to mention it except to embarrass yourself."
This is obviously what is said.
Xia Yuan glanced at Tangning, and Tian Yi also glanced at Tangning. The people at the table knew that Tang Suoyan and Tangning were not very related, but there were still some. Some felt that something was going wrong and deliberately changed the topic and started talking about other things.
There are some who are clever and some who are not. I don’t know that there are some people who have an unusual relationship with Tang Suoyan. Others diverted the topic and turned it back.
"Have you asked? Tang Suoyan is very good at speaking in the Third Hospital. When Mr. Xu retires, he will be the head of the ophthalmology department. It's almost the same now."
"It's true what you say." The trainee doctor laughed mockingly on his face. "There is no such thing as us in the eyes of people. No matter what status we are, we should not go in front of others. I call Senior Brother , people didn’t even give me a look.”
"So crazy?" The person next to him was quite inquisitive.
"In my opinion, except for Mr. Xu, he can't see anyone in the third courtyard. We dare not say whether they are crazy or not."
Tao Xiaodong kept drinking the water expressionlessly, and poured himself another glass when the water ran out.
Tian Yi exchanged glances with him, and looked unhappy. Tao Xiaodong was still quite calm, without raising his eyes. After a while, she raised her eyes to look at Tangning. Tangning's face was a little cold, but she didn't express her opinion.
On such occasions, when others spit out sour water, it’s actually the same thing, and it’s really embarrassing to say a few words on the line, and the whole table is embarrassed.
Tao Xiaodong drank sip after sip of water, and after finishing watching Tangning, his gaze dropped again.
"Human madness really has capital. No matter how many achievements a person has, they can't find it." Someone said.
The closed-eyed person might have been too drunk, so he opened his mouth and answered, "Who the **** asked Mr. Xu to bring it out like that, can't you swallow it?"
Tian Yi made a "tsk".
"Achievement? Whose achievement?" The man snorted again, "The signing of the thesis is really so clean—"
His voice was not clear and sharp, and there was a sudden crisp sound on the table, followed by a splintering sound for a long time.
Tao Xiaodong threw a teapot directly onto the vase in the center of the table, and ceramic shards splashed all over the glass table.
"Hold you for a long time." Tao Xiaodong stood up slowly, clasped his palms on his cup, and looked at that person, staring straight at him.
"In the future, if you drink too much at the wine table and have something to chat about, first scan the table to see if there is anything you don't like or don't want to hear. Unfortunately, I just don't want to listen to it today."
Tao Xiaodong didn't care about other people's reactions, he didn't look at anyone, and just said to that person: "The Tang Suoyan you said is my friend. I can't hear what you said."
"I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've played like this on the wine table. I laughed at everyone." Tao Xiaodong drank the half glass of water left in his hand, threw the glass away after drinking, looked at the other side and said, "You can say something about soup today. Suo Yan, that would be really ugly."
After Tao Xiaodong said this, he turned and left.
