After lunch.
Leon greeted everyone, then returned to the infirmary.
His offer to massage Meldie had not been a spur-of-the-moment decision.
He had just obtained a new skill, so he naturally needed someone to test it on, right?
Around three in the afternoon.
Meldie arrived at the infirmary, but before she could sit down, Leon spoke first.
“Sister Mel, it isn’t appropriate for you to come here alone for a massage.” “Why isn’t it appropriate?” Meldie asked with a frown.
“I’m a male doctor.
If I treat or massage a woman, a third person should be present.
This is also for the sake of your reputation,” Leon said sincerely.
He was not a good person, but he understood the destructive power of the phrase “public opinion is a fearsome thing.” In this era, there was a crime called “hooliganism,” and it could even lead to being shot.
If there really was something between the two of them, then fine.
But if there was nothing, and they were still gossiped about, that would be far too unfair.
“It’s all right.
I’m not afraid,” Meldie said casually.
“No, that won’t do.” Leon shook his head.
“Go back to your department and ask a colleague to come with you.
Preferably a woman.” Meldie looked at Leon carefully for a while.
In the end, she smiled, nodded, and went back.
Not long after.
When she returned, four or five women followed behind her.
“Are you scared now that there are so many people?” Meldie asked with a smile.
“I’m not afraid.” Leon smiled and said, “But as a doctor, I have to consider every aspect for the patient.” Clap, clap, clap!
Meldie was the first to applaud, and the infirmary was immediately filled with clapping.
“Sister Mel, take off your outer shirt and lie down on the bed.” Leon put on gloves, his expression calm.
Meldie was a worldly and experienced woman, so she was not shy at all.
She took off her outer clothing and lay down on the bed.
The others gathered around to watch Leon’s movements.
Leon’s hands were very steady, and his control of strength was excellent.
“Ah…” Meldie let out a groan, causing many of the women to click their tongues in contempt.
“How shameless.” “Meldie, stop making noise.” “It sounds awful.” … Meldie was also a fiery person.
Her face flushed, and she turned her head to retort, “The massage is really comfortable.
If you don’t believe me, come and try it.
I guarantee you’ll scream even louder than me.” “Don’t talk,” Leon said softly.
Meldie immediately shut her mouth.
Leon pressed against her waist and massaged it four or five times before applying slightly more force.
Click!
The crisp sound echoed throughout the infirmary, startling many people.
Leon remained calm and continued the massage.
Ten minutes later.
“All right.” Leon casually picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Massage was indeed physically demanding.
If he had not taken the Body-Strengthening Pill, his body might really not have been able to handle it.
Meldie sat up and stretched.
She was immediately overjoyed.
“Oh my, my back pain is really gone!
Even the pain in my arm is gone too!
Dr.
Cole, your medical skills are amazing!” Seeing this, the others were also eager to try, but no one spoke up.
“Let me give you all a massage as well, but… ladies, please don’t spread this around,” Leon said softly.
The steel rolling mill had tens of thousands of workers.
If everyone flocked to him for massages, he would be worked to death.
Do not be fooled by the officials’ imposing presence in this era.
If the workers were truly angered, even the factory director could be brought down.
“Dr.
Cole, don’t worry.
Everyone in the factory knows we’re the most discreet,” Meldie immediately assured him.
“Yes, yes.
We won’t tell anyone.” The others immediately agreed.
In just one afternoon, these women were thoroughly pampered.
Each of them looked radiant, as though she had become ten years younger.
They also kept their promise and did not tell anyone that Leon knew massage.
However, a saying quickly spread throughout the factory: “Leon is a true gentleman.” Leon knew nothing about this.
He was indeed quite tired.
But it had not been for nothing.
At the very least, he had learned what these women were capable of.
In those days, aside from factory workers, all other departments required academic qualifications.
In other words, one had to be educated, at the very least, to qualify for such positions.
Take Meldie, for example.
She had graduated from a proper vocational school.
Her father and father-in-law were both government officials, and her husband was the director of a subsidiary factory under the steel rolling mill.
She came from a family with real connections.
The others were not much worse.
Each of them had some background.
After resting for a while.
When the end-of-work bell rang, Leon tidied up and left work.
On his way back, he saw many people riding bicycles at breakneck speed, which made him think that he should buy a bicycle as well.
It seemed that among the vouchers Yang Weiguo had given him last time, there had been a bicycle coupon.
As for money… he did not really need to worry about it for the time being.
With that in mind, he decided to buy a bicycle tomorrow.
After returning to the courtyard.
The door god was wiping down his bicycle.
When he saw Leon, he immediately greeted him with a wide smile.
“Leon, you’re off work?” “Yes.
Third Uncle, are you cleaning your bicycle?” Leon asked with a smile.
“Yes.
Third Uncle is telling you, this bicycle depends entirely on maintenance.
If you don’t wipe it down for even one day, it’ll rust easily…” Yan Bugui went on and on about his bicycle-cleaning tips.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his forehead.
“Look at me, I forgot.
Leon, you haven’t bought a bicycle yet, have you?” “I haven’t bought one yet.
I plan to go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow,” Leon said casually.
“That’s good.
Young people should have goals to strive for.” Yan Bugui sighed a couple of times, then revealed his true purpose.
“Next time you need to use a bicycle, just ask Third Uncle.
Third Uncle won’t charge you much.
Three cents per use.
Just treat it as a maintenance fee.” “All right, thank you.” Leon smiled and nodded, then turned and walked toward his own courtyard.
As he passed by Jia Dongxu’s house, a sinister gaze fixed on him, accompanied by someone muttering, “Keep acting arrogant.
Sooner or later, you’ll get yourself killed.
When that happens, the house will be mine.” Leon turned his head and met those triangular eyes.
Silently, he mouthed a few words.
Son of a bitch.
Then he cheerfully prepared to run away.
“You little beast, what did you say!?” Jia Zhangshi immediately rushed out.
“What?” Leon looked innocent.
“Aunt Jia, are people not even allowed to pass by your house?” At that moment, Yan Bugui, First Aunt, and several others gathered around.
“You called me a son of a bitch!” Jia Zhangshi roared.
“Are you trying to pick a fight?” Leon said quietly, “Auntie, you were less than a meter away from me just now.
Did you hear me curse at her?” “No,” the First Aunt immediately replied.
“First Aunt didn’t hear me scolding you, so are you… bullying me?” Leon said, sounding aggrieved.
“Aunt Jia, you… you should stop bullying Leon all the time,” Yan Bugui sighed.
“Yes.
The house issue is already over.
There’s no use making a fuss about it,” First Aunt advised.
“Are you all deaf!?
He clearly insulted me!
You heartless little bastard, bullying an old woman like me!
You deserve to die a horrible death…” Jia Zhangshi continued cursing endlessly.
“Does that mean everyone who does evil deeds will die a horrible death?” After saying this in a low voice, Leon glanced at the photograph hanging inside Jia Zhangshi’s house.
Hiss!
Yan Bugui and the old woman both gasped and took a step back.
Everyone knew that Jia Zhangshi had been widowed at a young age.
Leon did not even need to say anything directly.
Just that one glance was enough to stab Jia Zhangshi exactly where it hurt.
“You little beast!
I’ll fight you to the death!” Jia Zhangshi’s eyes turned red, and she charged at Leon like a wild boar.
