Chapter 69: Group Intimidation

By the time Xiang Kun arrived, Tang Baona and the others were already waiting for him in Yang Zhen’er’s X3.

After he opened the door and sat in the back seat, the three women greeted him in turn, and then Tang Baona asked, “Have you had lunch yet?”

“Of course, I have.” Xiang Kun nodded in response.

Yang Zhen’er, who had just signaled to merge onto the main road, said, “The eel rice at that place is really delicious. You should try it yourself some time, ‘Teacher Saitama’. I think eel is high in protein too, it’s a healthy food.” They naturally had invited Xiang Kun for lunch, but just as expected, he declined again.

“I don’t eat eel.” Xiang Kun replied simply.

“You don’t eat eel either? This isn’t about controlling your diet. You’re a picky eater…” Yang Zhen’er couldn’t help but comment.

Xiang Kun explained, “Indeed, my taste is quite peculiar, so I basically don’t eat with others.”

“So, what do you usually eat?” Tang Baona, who was sitting in the front passenger’s seat, turned around and curiously asked.

“There’s no specific answer, but I don’t eat much.” Xiang Kun ambiguously replied.

Then he shifted the topic to the several psychiatric questions he read last night and asked for advice from Xia Libing, who was also sitting in the back seat.

After a few minutes, Xia Libing was somewhat surprised. “You started reading yesterday night already the books I recommended to you?

The questions that Xiang Kun raised were all the difficulties in those books. Without having read the books or having an understanding of this discipline, he wouldn’t be able to ask them.

“Yes, I read until midnight.” Xiang Kun said. The content he was asking about was limited to one or two books, so he was not worried that Xia Libing would have any doubts about his learning or reading speed.

Tang Baona turned her head and interrupted, “Old Xia, which hospital in Haixi Province are you transferring to?

Xiang Kun was surprised, “You’re going to Haixi Province? Why aren’t you staying here?” He clearly knew that all three women were locals, and their families were all quite well-off. Coupled with Xia Libing’s own qualifications and abilities, staying in a local hospital should not pose any problems.

Yang Zhen’er, who was driving, grumbled, “Everyone tries to stay at a local hospital after graduation. However, our Old Xia is different. She was offered a position by a local hospital, but she chose to go to an out-of-province hospital! What’s more, it’s not even in a provincial capital or other first-tier cities. Old Xia, where exactly are you going?”

“Citong City.” Xia Libing said.

Xiang Kun was taken aback, ‘Citong City?”

Seeing his reaction, Tang Baona seemed to remember something and asked, “Right, Xiang Kun, you told me before that you’re also from Haixi Province?” Xiang Kun nodded, “I am from Citong City…”

Tang Baona looked surprised for a moment and then turned to Xia Libing in the back seat, unable to help but laugh, “What a coincidence.”

Yang Zhen’er was also somewhat surprised, “What a coincidence? If Old Xia

didn’t secure a hospital appointment two months ago, I would’ve thought she was going to Haixi Province because of ‘Teacher Saitama’.”

“But I’m not currently in Haixi Province.” Xiang Kun shook his head, and then asked Xia Libing, ‘Why did you choose to go to Citong City? There doesn’t seem to be any famous psychiatry department in any hospital there. Logically, shouldn’t the opportunities be better if you stay here, considering the two disciplines you majored in?”

Xia Libing simply replied, “I have connections there.”

“Connections?” Xiang Kun was puzzled. Didn’t Yang Zhen’er say that the local hospital actively wanted her and she was unwilling to stay? So why would she specifically seek a connection to go to a hospital in a second-tier city in Haixi Province?

Tang Baona sensed his confusion and helped him understand, “The hospital she is going to has a deputy director who is her aunt. The aunt claimed to have treated her very well since she was a child. However, we all believe that there must be more reasons than just this.”

Yang Zhen’er also added, “If we talk about being nice to her, I am even nicer! But she did not choose to stay with me! This girl must have some ulterior motives!”
