855 Battle of the Courtship

Battle of the Courtship

Yu Xiaoke was speechless. She wanted to just offer him slogans free of charge. Does this person really want to give away money? Now, why would Yu Xiaoke reject this monetary assistance? So she nodded and replied, "Boss, you are very decisive. Your girlfriend must be very lucky!"

"Keke hahaha. You understand me very well! It is exactly as you have said!" Kang Zhaoming was happy to hear these blessed words from someone else's mouth. It was as if he would succeed in making it happen. He turned and joyfully said to Yu Xiaoke, "I know we agreed to thirty thousand yuan, but if you do a great job, I can give you fifty thousand yuan! However, aside from slogans, I would need you to run errands for me!"

"Okay, Boss! Tell me what you need!" Yu Xiaoke was listening closely. She had found a big spender. If she didn't take advantage of it, then she will feel guilty later on!

"I need some fireworks, a guitar, and loudspeakers. I will need those for declaring my love!" Kang Zhaoming thought. In the movies, aside from the sea of flowers, there were also fireworks! If Kang Zhaoming set his mind to do something, he would go all out. Kang Zhaoming was too lazy to get it himself and he didn't even know where to buy fireworks. He still wasn't familiar with Songshan City, so he hired the local Yu Xiaoke as his aide.

Yu Xiaoke happily intended to do these tasks for Kang Zhaoming. As a female thief, she has been to many places so she was very familiar with which location sold the product she needed. She assigned Ken to the flower market for wholesale purchases. Then, she assigned one kid to purchase fireworks and another kid to the flea market for guitar and loudspeakers. Yu Xiaoke was responsible for creating slogan banners to hand to Kang Zhaoming.

With the division of labor, by the time Yu Xiaoke was able to get the slogan banners from the photocopying agency, all the others had returned with their products. It was all according to Kang Zhaoming's request.

Kang Zhaoming was impressed with Yu Xiaoke's work efficiency. He was so happy about it that he gave the remaining payment of forty thousand yuan to Yu Xiaoke right away.

Ken and the other orphan kids never expected Yu Xiaoke to be so useful. She was able to chat her way into a fifty thousand yuan business. Flowers and banners, and a second-hand guitar with loudspeakers would've cost a total of four thousand yuan. In one move, they were able to earn forty-five thousand yuan. It was unbelievable!

Once Yu Xiaoke got the money, she left with her crew. She had profited more than enough. If she got greedy and stayed behind, other people would get jealous! Yu Xiaoke knew the rule in her line of business. In addition, there was a nearby flower shop, and they had also sent a representative to the hospital entrance too. Yu Xiaoke had robbed this flower store of a large business order, so the store owner would definitely be upset.

If she continued to sell the flowers, then someone would definitely come looking for Yu Xiaoke for trouble. Thus, Yu Xiaoke knew when it was time to retreat. She got the remaining payment and departed.

Even so, her actions had made some set of people jealous. In particular, the flower store owner had a greedy and hateful mindset. He watched Yu Xiaoke leave the area, which made him feel a bit bitter! If he hadn't been warned off by the local gangster that Yu Xiaoke wasn't to be looked down, then he would've given her a piece of his mind!

Once Yu Xiaoke had left, the flower store owner walked over to greet Kang Zhaoming. "Hello, Young Master. I am Tiandao Flower Shop owner. I was wondering if you still needed any more flowers? I have a lot of variety…"

"I bought everything I needed. Why would I need more?" Kang Zhaoming looked at him with disgust. Kang Zhaoming was mentally preparing himself for his speech, but this store owner had to interrupt his thought process. This made Kang Zhaoming displeased and he replied, "Just step aside. Don't block us!"

"Well…" The flower store owner retreated back, but not before yelling, "If you need more flowers, you can buy them at my shop. I can give you a good discount…"

"Okay, got it. I know now!" Kang Zhaoming waved his hand like he was brushing it away. "Now move!"

Guan Xin was one of the many nurses working at People's First Hospital, but a lot of other people had heard stories about the beauty of Guan Xin. She was top beauty of the People's First Hospital. She was so famous; whether it was people who had personally interacted with her before or heard the stories, they all knew the name.

Presently outside of the hospital, Kang Zhaoming had a huge banner that displayed, "Guan Xin I Love You". With many onlookers speculating the identity of the one in the wheelchair. Could that be Guan Xin's boyfriend?

As for within the hospital, the news spread like wildfire. Those who knew Guan Xin immediately notified her of the situation.

"Xinxin, Xinxin, let me tell you about a piece of big news. Outside our hospital, there is someone who laid out a sea of roses. They are preparing to confess their love! That is very romantic… they must be from a wealthy family…" Nurse Lee Xiaomei enviously said.

"Oh…" Guan Xin smiled gently. "Well, what does that have to do with me?"

"What do you mean?! That person has a banner that points to you! It says Guan Xin I Love You. It was all prepared for you! Rumors have started spreading in the hospital already!" Lee Xiaomei continued. "I only heard of the gossip from the doctor from my last patient checkup!"

"Ah? Me?" Guan Xin was shocked with her eyes wide. It was a little unbelievable. "Are you sure that it's not a prank? Did it really say my name?"

"It's true!" Lee Xiaomei nodded. "It definitely said your name."

Now, who could it be? Was it Lin Yi? He was the first image that appeared in her mind. Once she realizes that it was Lin Yi, she shook her head. She was blaming herself. How could it be Lin Yi? Why would he ever come and expresses his love to her? She must be daydreaming...

The moment she corrected her thoughts, Guan Xin wasn't interested if it wasn't Lin Yi. She returned to her calm demeanor and asked, "Who could be so bored?"

"Oh? Xinxin, you don't look touched at all from hearing this explosive gossip? Don't you want to take a look outside to see who is stirring up the gossip?" Lee Xiaomei asked in surprise.

"Nope, what is there to see? I assume it is someone like Kang Zhaoming being bored."

"Hey, now that you mention it, It is very possible!" Lee Xiaomei lost interest once she heard the name. Evidently, she didn't have any warm feeling towards Kang Zhaoming. She was able to learn about him through Guan Xin, which was how she also learned how he had emotionally injured Fen. She had a very poor impression of Kang Zhaoming and it wasn't getting any better.

"So, just focus on work!" Guan Xin continued to focus more on work.

***

Later that night, as their shift had ended, Guan Xin and Lee Xiaomei left through the front door of the hospital. Wang Shubin was standing on guard duty, the moment he noticed Guan Xin, he signaled to Kang Zhaoming and Zhu Xiaozhang.

Timing it perfectly, the fireworks lit up right in front of the hospital entrance. Following up was Kang Zhaoming's voice that echoed. "Miss Guan Xin, if you would allow me a few words to confess my feelings for you…"
