Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 138 - : Seeing Him Again
Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Seeing Him Again
As soon as it seemed, the grandson’s full-month celebration by Mr. Fan had arrived.
Su Meixi took a gift and went to the hotel for the celebration feast.
Mr. Fan had booked a large hotel lobby and set up more than forty tables, not only for relatives and hospital colleagues but also for some bigwigs from pharmaceutical companies and peers.
Coincidentally, Bi Yuanhang was also there, sitting at a table with the deans from another hospital, having apparently been given more responsibilities after he returned.
When Su Meixi saw that not all guests at their table had arrived yet, she went over to chat with Bi Yuanhang for a while.
“Big brother, work has been good for you recently, right?” asked Su Meixi.
...
“It’s been good. Although I’ve been at the border for less than a year, I’ve been promoted to associate chief physician ahead of schedule, and the paperwork is in process. Just one more exam, and I’ll be set.”
“Congratulations,” Su Meixi paused, then brought up Weina, “Has Weina contacted you?”
“Yes, we chat occasionally on WeChat,” Bi Yuanhang replied.
After saying that, he smiled ruefully, “Really miss her.”
His smile was mixed with quite a bit of helplessness and restraint.
He continued, “Sometimes, I really want to leave everything behind and go to her, but logic tells me that’s impossible.”
Su Meixi agreed, “Indeed, it’s not realistic, and I wouldn’t advise you to go.”
His mother was getting older, and his sister was depending on him too; he couldn’t just leave everything behind.
Su Meixi didn’t know what else to say.
Given Bi Yuanhang’s credentials, it would be easy for him to find a girlfriend; she wondered how long he could hold on.
Later, as colleagues from the second hospital gradually arrived, Su Meixi returned to her seat.
While eating, she accidentally spilled some colorful soup on her clothes and, feeling embarrassed to clean it up there, she went to the restroom.
The restroom had separate areas for men and women, but the sinks were shared.
After fixing her clothes, Su Meixi looked up and noticed a man behind her staring at her.
He looked vaguely familiar, especially with a mischievous gleam in his eyes.
She remembered him now; it was Bai Anzhi, whom she had thrown over her shoulder before.
“Miss Su, long time no see,” Bai Anzhi said, dangling a cigarette from his lips and looking rakish.
Su Meixi ignored him and tried to leave.
He stretched out a foot to block her path, “Last time you threw me so hard my shoulder dislocated, how will you compensate me for that?”
“If you’re not satisfied, just sue me, and whatever the judge decides I need to pay, I’ll pay.”
Bai Anzhi chuckled, “Miss Su is so cute, no wonder the younger Gu brother likes you.”
“If you have a beef with Gu Wei, you should go find him, what do you achieve by picking on me?” Su Meixi stepped over his foot and continued towards the lobby.
Out of fear he would follow her, she walked quickly.
Almost reaching the lobby, she looked back to see Bai Anzhi hadn’t followed her; he was still leaning against the restroom wall smoking.
Seeing her look back, he even waved at her.
She rolled her eyes at him and returned to her seat.
…
Mr. Fan and his son and daughter-in-law, carrying their little grandchild, went from table to table toasting.
The baby, barely a month old and still vulnerable, ideally shouldn’t have been part of the toasting, but Mr. Fan didn’t seem concerned.
His daughter-in-law, however, was protective, only allowing people to look at the baby, not touch, and keeping a considerable distance from the crowd.
From afar, Su Meixi caught a glimpse of the baby—so chubby and cute, the kind that could melt your heart just by looking.
Mr. Fan was very proud, catching anyone of childbearing age to ask, “When are you guys having kids? Babies are so cute, you better hurry up.”
When it came to Su Meixi, Mr. Fan said, “Dr. Su, you have to hurry too. Remember Ningzhen? She used to be your arch-nemesis, but after leaving the third hospital she got married and is about to have a baby. You should also hurry while you’re still young.”
Su Meixi thought to herself: She’s having a child? Who was the brave soul who took her on?
Hopefully, her child wouldn’t be as petty as the mother.
After the toasting, Mr. Wang at their table said, “Let’s go toast at Mr. Fan’s table in a bit!”
The table with Mr. Fan was filled with the big shots in the pharmaceutical industry of Feng City.
Mr. Wang led everyone over for the toast, and Su Meixi followed.
That’s how the workplace is, even doctors couldn’t escape from toasting.
After some perfunctory greetings, they were just waiting to finish their drinks and leave.
As Su Meixi was about to head back, someone called out, “Wait, I haven’t had my drink yet!”
That voice…
Su Meixi turned toward the sound to see Bai Anzhi approaching.
“Come, let me introduce everyone. This is Mr. Bai from Zhuo Ling Group, Bai Anzhi.”
“Mr. Bai, where have you been? We haven’t seen you for a while.”
“Let’s give Mr. Bai another toast.”
Bai Anzhi went to an empty table, poured a drink, and adopted the demeanor of an underworld boss, “Just went out for a smoke, chatted with a beauty casually, sorry to have kept you all waiting!”
His glance coincidentally met Su Meixi’s.
“How modest, it’s our honor to have Mr. Bai.” Mr. Wang was the first to speak out on behalf of Bai Anzhi.
Bai Anzhi, trying to appear affable, lifted his glass and toasted everyone one by one, exchanging a few nice words. When he encountered someone particularly good-looking, like the young Wu from Su Meixi’s department, he even joked, “So young, have you graduated from high school yet?”
“I’m almost 30,” Wu responded.
“You look really young.”
When his glass touched Su Meixi’s, he edged a bit closer, his hand touching hers.
She reflexively withdrew, then touched the glass to her lips briefly.
“Why aren’t you drinking, doctor?” Bai Anzhi asked, “Do you look down on us coarse folks?”
Su Meixi then finished her glass of drink.
It was strong liquor, and although it was nothing much for Su Meixi, her throat still burned after downing it.
…
Back at the table, after having a few bites of meat, Mr. Wang told the doctors there, “We have another event later, and Mr. Fan insists you all attend.”
Little Wu asked, “What? What’s the next event?”

“Our second hospital is planning to import a batch of medicinal materials from Zhuo Ling, and we might need to build some rapport with Mr. Bai just now. Mr. Fan specifically invited him over for this reason.”
Su Meixi asked subconsciously, “Can I not go?”
“Of course not, except for Sister Zhou who needs to take care of her kid at home, everyone else must attend, especially the young ones who can drink.”
