Chapter 116
A moment ago, the nurse had been calling Chenyang a country bumpkin, impatiently wanting him to get lost.
But now, not only was she flashing a flirtatious smile and calling him "handsome," she even seemed like she wanted to give him an inside tip.
The stark difference between her two attitudes left Chenyang stunned for a moment.
But he soon grew wary. ’If something seems too good to be true, it probably is,’ he thought.
The nurse paid no mind to the change in Chenyang’s expression and continued smiling. "The HR office is at the very end of the hallway to the left. The director is a woman, and she’s gorgeous. But she’s not easy to deal with. If you want her to let you work at the hospital, you’ll have to give a little something first."
Although Chenyang didn’t have much work experience, he was still aware of the unwritten rules of the workplace.
Whether it was for a new job or just to get things done, you had to show your "sincerity" by giving them a little something.
It was just the way things were.
With that in mind, Chenyang suppressed his annoyance with the nurse. He first addressed her as "miss" before asking, "What exactly do I need to give?"
"Well..."
Seeing the nurse deliberately trail off, Chenyang pulled a red hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and discreetly slipped it to her. "For some bubble tea. Just give me a little guidance."
The nurse’s smile brightened considerably when she saw the money.
Then, she adopted a mysterious tone. "What I’m about to tell you is a secret about that beautiful director. Not only do you have to keep it to yourself, but if anyone finds out later, you absolutely cannot say you heard it from me."
"Don’t worry. This stays between us."
"Okay, lean in."
Seeing Chenyang lean in to listen, the nurse lowered her voice. "That beautiful director... her sexual orientation is a little... different. She likes women. You can see for yourself if you go upstairs; every department has more female doctors than male. Of course, it’s not hopeless for men applying for a position. You just need to make a little change before you go see her."
"What kind of change?"
"You know what an effeminate man is?"
"You mean a guy who acts and talks all girly?"
"Exactly! The director loves that type. Especially a tall, handsome model like you. If you can put on a girly act, I guarantee she’ll give you special treatment. It’ll make your interview a lot easier."
"This..." Chenyang hesitated.
’A proud man like him, in the prime of his masculinity, having to act like a sissy just to suck up to a boss... The thought wasn’t just awkward, it was nauseating.’
The nurse chuckled. "You don’t have an inside connection, and you didn’t go through the proper channels to get a pre-assigned department, so this is your only option. It’s a little awkward, I know, but it’s just to pass the interview. Once you’re in, you can stay far away from her and go back to being yourself."
Chenyang’s mouth twitched, still reluctant.
The nurse added, "I knew you’d have a hard time with it, which is why I wanted you to just leave at first. Well, I’ve shown you the way. If you don’t want to take it, you can turn around and walk out. But if you want to be a doctor here, this is absolutely your only and best shot."
Chenyang wavered for a moment. "Is there anything else I should be aware of?"
"N—"
Just as the first nurse was about to speak, another one walked over. "Yes, there is. The beautiful HR director may like women, but when she’s... you know... she likes to put condoms on her various toys. She goes through more than a dozen a day. If you really want to seal the deal, you should go buy some different kinds of condoms and give them to her as a gift."
Hearing this, the strange look on Chenyang’s face deepened.
’He was starting to wonder if this was a real hospital or some kind of asylum.’
A lesbian director was already hard enough to wrap his head around.
But a beautiful, female-loving director who also had a strange fetish for condoms?
"Handsome, these are top secrets," the second nurse said. "If you weren’t so good-looking, we never would have told you."
"That’s right," the first one chimed in. "Now that you know the secret, you might as well give it a shot. If it works, you’ll be a doctor at our City Hospital, right?"
Facing the two enthusiastic nurses, Chenyang couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.
But he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
After a moment’s thought, he said, "Thank you, both. I’ll go give it a try."
With that, he walked out, turned left, found a sex toy shop, and bought several unique styles of condoms before heading back into the hospital.
When the two nurses saw him return, they both gave him encouraging thumbs-ups. "Go for it! And don’t forget to treat us to dinner after you get the job!"
"Okay!"
Chenyang nodded. Clutching the condoms and mulling over how he should act in front of the beautiful director, he strode purposefully down the long hallway.
Little did he know, the moment he turned his back, the two nurses burst into wild, mischievous laughter.
"Time for a show."
"That country bumpkin is so gullible. I can’t believe he actually fell for our story."
"The Tigress is going to fly into a rage the second she sees him acting like a sissy."
"Wanna make a bet? I’ll bet on whether the kid gets his face clawed to ribbons by the Tigress and runs out crying, or if he’ll fight back and take her on!!"
