Their eyes met in the air. Unlike his own preparedness, Zhan Bei Jue's gaze held a hint of confusion.
"Mr. Ke, what a coincidence. What wind blew you here?"
Ke Jing Yu smiled and stepped forward, extending his hand for a handshake.
"On a business trip, just passing through. I heard from Ke Teng that Nan Fang has been having trouble lately, and has been taking the child to the hospital, so I came to check."
"Mr. Ke is incredibly busy, it's very thoughtful of you."
"Not at all. We're friends, it's what I should do." Ke Jing Yu released his hand.
"President Zhan, you must be busy. Why don't you go attend to your matters, and I'll speak with Nan Fang alone?"
Hearing Ke Teng mentioned, Zhan Bei Jue somewhat grasped the purpose of his visit.
Was he trying to pursue Jiang Nan Fang for his son, using the child's illness as an opportunity to visit and move Jiang Nan Fang?
How interesting.
Knowing she was already a mother of several children, he still wanted to pursue her for his son, and he did so right in front of his ex-wife. How amusing were the Ke family?
Zhan Bei Jue would not let him succeed, nor would he give him a chance.
"What is it that cannot be said in front of me, that you must ask me to leave? Are you trying to poach someone? Mr. Ke, do you have your eye on my engineer and plan to lure Jiang Nan Fang to work for you?"
He made a joke with a poker face. Ke Jing Yu could naturally see his displeasure, and that he was unwilling to back down.
Very well.
After all, Jiang Nan Fang was single and free. It was her right to discuss marriage and relationships with anyone.
So what if it was in front of Zhan Bei Jue?
"President Zhan is certainly good at joking. If I wanted Nan Fang to work for the Ke Corporation, it would be a high-paying, sincere recruitment, not poaching!"
"From what I know, she doesn't have an employment contract with the Zhan Corporation. Don't tell me it's a coincidence that you also want to sign her?"
"..."
He had even inquired about whether she had an employment contract with the Zhan Corporation. His preparations were thorough enough.
"As you can see, Jiang Nan Fang is my ex-wife, and we have children together. The child is now very seriously ill, and as a mother, she probably can't go anywhere for a while."
Speaking so "frankly," it seemed Zhan Bei Jue still had quite a possessive attitude towards his ex-wife.
Only good things were desired by all men in the world. The more he acted like this, the more Ke Jing Yu felt his judgment was good.
Jiang Nan Fang deserved it.
"President Zhan misunderstands. I just heard that Nan Fang has been having difficulties recently, and I came to deliver something to her. I'm not looking for engineers for the Ke Corporation."
He looked at Jiang Nan Fang, then pointed to the bespectacled man behind him.
"This is Dr. Jerry, my family doctor for thirty years. Let him explain the situation to you."
Dr. Jerry pushed up his glasses and stepped forward, presenting Ke Jing Yu's various health indicators. He then informed her that there was a heart in a Bangkok hospital that perfectly matched Ke Jing Yu.
"What? A matching heart for Jing Yu has appeared?" Jiang Nan Fang's somber heart finally brightened a little.
However, she did not smile with joy, because she knew that pie didn't fall from the sky.
Ke Jing Yu's personal visit must be related to the conditions Ke Teng mentioned that day.
She didn't want Jing Yu to hear her making a deal with someone, so she patted Ke Jing Yu's shoulder.
"Mommy needs paper and pen to write something. Baby, could you go to the nurse's station and borrow some for me?"
Jing Yu understood that this was an excuse for adults to speak without children listening, but he could only walk away.
As soon as the child left, before Jiang Nan Fang could even ask about the conditions, Zhan Bei Jue let out a cold laugh.
"I didn't realize Mr. Ke was such a generous philanthropist. You've only met Jiang Nan Fang twice, yet you've traveled all this way to the hospital for her matters."
"You don't just want to do a good deed and have her praise you as a good person, do you?"
Ke Jing Yu smiled again.
"I like speaking with straightforward people like President Zhan. Since we're both in business, we understand the rules of the game, so I won't beat around the bush."
"Indeed. I do have conditions."
"I assume Nan Fang already knows what the specific conditions are."
"Ke Teng is my only son, my only child in this life. Although he hasn't achieved much yet, the Ke family's business will inevitably be his in the future."
"I've chosen Nan Fang because she can greatly assist Ke Teng in his career. Of course, the most important reason is that Ke Teng likes her. You know, since he was young, there haven't been many girls he admitted to liking to me."
"I believe this is a mutually beneficial transaction. Especially for you, Nan Fang, it's all benefit and no harm. Therefore, please consider it carefully."
"Consider it carefully?"
Zhan Bei Jue was amused by his words. "I don't know what there is to consider."
"Ke Teng is an ignorant second-generation heir who is merely dabbling in the entertainment industry under the guise of being a star."
"Just because you fancy Jiang Nan Fang, and your Ke family has a bit of money, she should be eternally grateful and think this is a good deal?
"You're too arrogant, and you completely disregard other people's feelings."
After speaking, he looked at Jiang Nan Fang with confidence.
"This is no different from selling oneself to get something. Miss Jiang, who pursues spiritual freedom, would surely hate such transactions the most, right?"
However, despite their lengthy discussion, Jiang Nan Fang's focus was not on this.
She looked at Zhan Bei Jue and asked with some confusion.
"Didn't you say you were actively looking for a heart for Jing Yu every day? Why is it that others can find one, but you've been so slow to act?"
He hadn't expected her to ask that.
This woman's focus was always more peculiar than others.
Fearing she might misunderstand, Zhan Bei Jue said.
"Perhaps you don't fully understand the chaos in Southeast Asia."
"You don't need to doubt my sincerity towards the child. I can swear, in all 200+ countries worldwide, as long as it's through official channels under the WHO, I have people following up every second."
"I disdain black market transactions, and I wouldn't trust them for my child. I'm sure you're the same, right?"
Jiang Nan Fang understood.
"So, the heart that Mr. Ke mentioned isn't from an official World Health Organization source?"
Ke Jing Yu shrugged indifferently.
"Whether it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat. In matters of life and death, there's no time to distinguish between black and white. It seems some people are not in a hurry."
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Nan Fang, I'll give you some time to consider it carefully."
"The child's life is more important than anything else. I believe we share the same view on this."
"Call me when you've considered it. We can go to Bangkok for surgery anytime. I'll be leaving now."
With that, Ke Jing Yu placed the toys for the children into Jiang Nan Fang's hands and turned to leave.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Zhan Bei Jue walked to Jiang Nan Fang, grabbed the toys from her hand, and threw them into the trash can by the corner.
"My Zhan Bei Jue's children don't need anyone else's undue concern. Jiang Nan Fang, you are not allowed to accept gifts from such disreputable people from now on!"
