The nurse was stunned. "You mean I should break up with him?"
She was struggling again.
"Although I'm angry and have thought about breaking up with him countless times, I always hesitate when it comes to making a decision."
"He hasn't done anything unforgivable, and his social circle is very small. After he leaves me..."
Jiang Nan Fang interrupted her.
"Let go of your savior complex, you are not a saint."
"Your parents raised you so well, nurtured you to be so outstanding, not for you to be casually trampled on by others. You need to understand this, remember this at all times."
"If someone loves you, even if they eat salted vegetables, they'll want to share half with you. Even if they pick wildflowers by the roadside, they'll think of ways to make you happy. But it's clearly not like that now."
"Even if you're still willing to be with him under these circumstances, then don't complain later. People have to take responsibility for their actions. No matter how he treats you, you have to accept it all."
The nurse looked at her hesitantly, thinking deeply.
"Is there a possibility that he's just too much of a straight man and doesn't know how to make girls happy?"
Jiang Nan Fang wasn't one to jump to conclusions. She thought about it carefully with the nurse.
"It's not impossible. Let me do an experiment for you."
"Ah?"
"I know many male students in the mechatronics major. They have little contact with women in their work, so their 'straightness' should be no less than your boyfriend's. Let's use them as our experiment."
Saying that, she opened WeChat, found the group chat for the Gre Electric Technology Department, and sent an emoji.
Soon, everyone flooded out.
They were all very surprised and asked Jiang Nan Fang why she suddenly thought of them, where she was now, how much they missed her, and when they could meet.
Jiang Nan Fang chatted with everyone for a while, then posed the question.
"I've come in to ask you all a question. Please answer truthfully, don't give me any fluff."
"Absolutely. It's rare for Engineer Jiang to have a question to ask, so we must answer truthfully."
Jiang Nan Fang asked, "If you had a girlfriend now and her birthday was tomorrow, what would you do?"
Everyone answered in a flurry of words.
Give a gift, send flowers, treat her to a meal. Isn't this the standard for a boyfriend?
"What if your financial situation isn't very good, and you're just an intern with a monthly salary of three thousand?"
"There isn't just one kind of food, one kind of flower, or one kind of gift in the world. If you have money, give expensive gifts; if you don't, give inexpensive ones. You can't not give anything just because of a low salary, right? How disappointed would that girl be?"
The nurse's nose stung as she read the messages from everyone, and tears welled up again.
"Then what do you think is appropriate to give for a monthly salary of three thousand?"
"Since it's your girlfriend's birthday, you definitely have to prepare in advance. Especially if your salary is low, you have to prepare even more. See what she likes normally. Observe secretly and give her what she likes."
Jiang Nan Fang: "What if she loves you very much, is content with nothing, and you can't even tell what she likes?"
"Then give her skincare products, clothes, things she uses daily. They're practical and thoughtful. I don't believe she wouldn't like them."
The nurse angrily turned her face away and cried.
Jiang Nan Fang patted her shoulder.
"It's not necessary. Crying for someone who isn't worth it is just demeaning yourself. Actually, you should thank him for letting you see human nature and avoiding future pitfalls."
"How about this? Although these people are a few years older than you, I can guarantee their character and income are also decent. Shall I introduce them to you?"
With a hint of defiance, the nurse immediately turned her head.
"Okay. I really don't want to be with that kind of garbage anymore. Quickly introduce me to someone new!"
Jiang Nan Fang was in a dilemma.
With so many people, who should she introduce her to?
"How about this? Aren't there several nurses in your class who are single? I'll organize something, like a social gathering. We can all have a meal together. Whether anything comes of it depends on yourselves."
The nurse nodded vigorously.
"Okay. But not today. If I meet people at this time, won't it look like I'm asking them for things? In a couple of days. After I break up with him."
The people in the group chat were still shouting. Jiang Nan Fang said to the nurse, "Then I'll reply to them, saying I'm going to introduce them to girlfriends. They'll probably be overjoyed."
Having been enlightened by Jiang Nan Fang, the nurse felt much better.
She wiped away her tears, calmed her mood, and went back to work.
Jiang Nan Fang replied to everyone in the group chat. The crowd was so excited they wished they could jump through the screen to her.
As they talked, someone finally focused on the key point.
"Why a bunch of nurses? Where do you know nurses from? Did you go to the hospital? Why did you go to the hospital? Who is sick?"
"No one is sick. Do you have to be sick to go to the hospital?"
Foreman Zhang was the first to react.
"Could it be that you went to the hospital to give birth? God, Engineer Jiang, you're too inconsiderate! You didn't even tell us when you had it!"
"Is it a boy or a girl? When were they born? You look down on us! You didn't even let us visit!"
Jiang Nan Fang had put herself in this position, so she could only confess the truth to them.
When everyone heard this, they clamored to visit her after work.
She hadn't seen them in a long time, and their enthusiasm was so high that she could only agree.
Gre Electric was closer to the hospital than the headquarters of the Warrior Group, so these people rushed over as soon as they got off work.
They also brought flowers, fruit, and toys for the child, making the ward look like a wedding chamber, full of liveliness.
When Zhan Bei Jue returned from work, he heard the deafening noise as soon as he reached the corridor and thought he had gone to the wrong place.
Seeing his frown, the nurse hurried over to explain.
"Mr. Zhan, some old colleagues came to see Madam. They arrived just a few minutes before you and just went in."
Zhan Bei Jue knew who it was without even thinking, nodded to the nurse, and pushed the door open.
These people were like a group of monkeys, chattering and making noise, surrounding Jiang Nan Fang's bed, talking to her and gesturing wildly.
Jiang Nan Fang leaned against the bed facing them, laughing so hard she was shaking.
A caregiver washed a plate of fruit and handed it to everyone to eat, making the place as lively as a festival.
Zhan Bei Jue stood at the door and watched them for almost a minute without anyone noticing him.
Jiang Nan Fang had been with him for so long, and they were about to have their fifth child, yet these men were still so enthusiastic about her, which made him jealous.
He knocked on the door with his hand, and finally, someone looked back and saw him.
"Oh, President Zhan is back?"
These people didn't act like strangers upon seeing him; in fact, they flocked around him in a very familiar manner.
"President Zhan, you're too inconsiderate! You promised to treat us to a meal when you got together, but now you're about to have a child and we haven't even tasted a single dish. You look down on us!"
"Exactly, we only found out that Engineer Jiang had been hospitalized for so long. You don't treat us as family!"
