Dr. Fu Yisi looked at the woman in his arms with a darkened face as she was absorbed in examining him, even caressing his chin with her restless hands.
A deep voice tinged with danger sounded in her ear, and Ji Sang immediately recovered her straying, overthrown soul, as the temperature of her face started to uncontrollably rise sharply.
What on earth was she doing?
She had uncharacteristically lost her restraint, and as someone who usually kept her distance from others, she had never been so offensive before. It was strange; this was the first time she felt out of control, making her somewhat flustered, panicky.
Ji Sang quickly got out of Dr. Fu Yisi's arms, steadied herself, and immediately said:
"Sorry... Your jawline is just too attractive."
Unlike other people who are into hands or voices, she was wholly infatuated with jawlines.
She had really spilled the beans, damned if she hadn't.
Could it be because he was her husband?
Ji Sang subconsciously shook her head to discard the thought; he was merely her husband in name after all. As for familiarity, they had only shared a bed for a couple of days.
Ultimately, it was all because Dr. Fu Yisi was just too exquisitely handsome, so much so that he beguiled people's hearts.
The revulsion that Dr. Fu Yisi initially felt due to the contact on his chin magically dissipated upon seeing Ji Sang's reaction and... hearing what she said.
A slight unnoticed smile curled up the corners of his lips.
The old man seated saw the commotion, his worried expression turned into a smile.
"Is this Dr. Fu's girlfriend?"
Ji Sang, almost reflexively, waved her hands,
"No... not at all..."
"It must be soon then; I've never seen Dr. Fu so close with a girl before."
He had merely happened to catch her, how could that be considered intimate?
However, Ji Sang looked up at Dr. Fu Yisi, and seeing that he had no intention of explaining, she did not continue.
From the other end of the garden, Song Xiu ran over.
He had obviously seen the moment Ji Sang nearly fell to the ground.
Ji Sang shook her head.
It was only then that Song Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and looking up, his gaze collided with Dr. Fu Yisi's probing stare.
Song Xiu was not unfamiliar with this face, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.
He had heard that the surgical virtuoso Dr. Fu didn't like socializing, and for the promotional film to be successful, good communication with the protagonist was essential. He had been worried about the difficulty of getting through to Dr. Fu, but now what do you know, he had run into him here.
Dr. Fu Yisi's eyebrows slightly raised when he heard those three words, his gaze falling on Ji Sang as he silently inquired.
Ji Sang lifted the SLR camera in her hand and simply said three words,
Dr. Fu Yisi, piecing together what she had said about going to the TV station this morning, understood immediately.
"I have some work to attend to; find me in my office once you're done."
After saying that, he greeted the old man and left.
Song Xiu watched Dr. Fu Yisi's retreating figure with some confusion,
"Sister Ji, do you... know each other?"
Ji Sang pursed her lips, unsure of how to explain their relationship. Her eyes fell on the SLR camera in his hand, and she asked a question,
It wasn't until the sky had completely darkened that the two finished their photography.
Song Xiu excitedly showed Ji Sang the photos they had taken, sharing his rough ideas for the promotional video.
"Sister Ji, we can totally start from the hospital's facilities and the dynamics of each department. City First Hospital's equipment is top-notch, and it provides excellent service. Just now, on my way over from the cafeteria, I happened to come across a patient and heard his story. We could include that, present it from the patient's perspective, and share their views on the hospital."
"Sister Ji, what do you think?"
Ji Sang silently looked through the photos on Song Xiu's DSLR twice.
"Have you been involved in planning promotional videos before?"
"No, I'm quite new here. I've only been working on some basic tasks and haven't touched the core parts yet. I've planned some small videos back in school."
Ji Sang nodded to show she understood.
But Song Xiu was somewhat uneasy.
"Sister Ji... Is it not okay?"
Just as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out.
"Patient, 60 years old, collapsed at home, no heartbeat, no pulse, all vital signs absent."
The medical staff took over the stretcher and quickly assessed the patient's condition.
Fu Yisi also rapidly made his way over from inside.
Ji Sang's eyes alerted and she immediately followed, taking multiple consecutive photos with her DSLR.
"Sorry, you're not allowed to..."
The nurse who came to stop them paused upon seeing the permit Song Xiu handed over.
Once Ji Sang got into the zone, she blocked out all external noise. In this corridor leading to the operating room, she seized those precious tens of seconds to capture the urgent scene that had just unfolded.
It wasn't until peace resumed that Song Xiu dared to approach.
Ji Sang nodded as she checked the photos in her DSLR.
"If it were a regular promotional video, your suggestion just now would indeed have been good. However, Lu Ming wouldn't approve it."
Song Xiu stood stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a notebook from his pocket to take notes.
"This promotional video is City First Hospital's response to the recent medical disputes, posing as a top facility in the city. Moreover, they've chosen Dr. Fu as the protagonist of the video. What do you think that's for?"
"City First Hospital's ace surgeon?"
Ji Sang gave him a glance.
"Exactly. City First Hospital's facilities and service quality are well-reputed locally and nationally – that's commonly known, and there's no need to stress it further. But when it comes to surgery, as a public hospital, its track record and equipment are on par with the top private hospitals. So, what are they aiming for?"
"Competing with private hospitals? To attract the wealthy class of patients."
Ji Sang shook her head.
Song Xiu scratched his head, not quite grasping the intricacies.
"Although City First Hospital's facilities and services are indeed good, they're certainly not as perfect as those of top private hospitals. There's no need to vie for that group of patients. However... there are many hospitals, but there's only one Dr. Fu."
Ji Sang finished speaking and curved her lips slightly. During the day in the office, she had gone through Fu Yisi's records extensively; his track record was nothing short of astonishing.
Such talent, one could easily imagine how many hospitals would want him.
Song Xiu suddenly realized.
"So, by choosing Dr. Fu as the face of the promotional video, they want to make him the ace of City First Hospital, but even more so, to retain Dr. Fu?"
A flicker of surprise crossed Ji Sang's eyes; no wonder Lu Ming had Song Xiu report directly to her as her assistant – his mind was sharp, catching on with just a hint.
"That's right, though these are only my speculations. When planning the content, we should focus in this direction."
That single 'That's right' successfully exhilarated him as an ardent fan.
"Sister Ji, are we continuing to shoot today?"
Ji Sang shook her head, noting the completely darkened sky outside and apologizing, suggesting that Song Xiu head back first. She, on the other hand, inquired with a nurse and then located Fu Yisi's office.
