Zhan Bei Jue noticed that the two men bore a strong resemblance to Old Master Zhang and proactively extended his hand to shake theirs.
"I'm Zhan Bei Jue. May I ask if you are here to see Mr. Zhang?"
As natives of Nancheng, especially those in the electrical industry, who didn't know Zhan Bei Jue?
He had only seen him on television and in the news before, and this was his first time meeting him in person.
With Zhan Bei Jue's hand extended, the two men quickly clasped it.
"Mr. Zhan, why did you ask us to come to the hospital so late at night?"
Zhan Bei Jue briefly explained the situation.
"I apologize for disturbing you without your consent today. I take full responsibility for what happened."
"Please rest assured, gentlemen. I will cover all of Old Master Zhang's medical expenses and subsequent treatment. I hope you will not hold this against me."
Seeing Zhan Bei Jue's sincerity,
He was much more approachable than rumored.
The brothers exchanged a look and simultaneously expressed their understanding.
"We understand our father's health. Even without any disturbances, he often has episodes every three days and needs five days of rest. Mr. Zhan, please don't say that."
"So, why did you come to see my father today..."
"To accompany her," Zhan Bei Jue said, turning back and pointing to Jiang Nan Fang by the hospital bed.
"The person inside is my friend. She currently works at Ke's Electrical in Shangcheng."
"Ke Jing Yu, the head of Ke Group, intends to expand into Nancheng and wishes to acquire an established electrical company for collaboration. He has appointed her as his representative."
"Given Huatai's current status and Old Master Zhang's health, I believe it would be better to proceed with an acquisition."
"I hope you will consider this carefully and discuss the acquisition with her. She is very sincere, and the terms are not an issue."
"If there's anything I can do to assist, I will cooperate fully. Here is my contact number. You can reach me anytime if you encounter any problems or if Old Master Zhang needs anything."
After Old Master Zhang fell asleep, Jiang Nan Fang came out of the ward. Zhan Bei Jue had already disappeared.
In his place stood two other men.
"Miss Jiang, we are representatives from Huatai Electrical. When you have some time, let's discuss the acquisition."
It was somewhat humane of Zhan Bei Jue.
Seeing that Old Master Zhang had been angered into illness, he at least didn't interfere further.
Jiang Nan Fang spent the afternoon negotiating the acquisition with Old Master Zhang's sons and signed the contract.
One of her most sincere terms, and the one that ultimately led the two Mr. Zhangs to agree to cooperate with her, was:
Rehiring Old Master Zhang as the President of Huatai Electrical. He would be responsible for all operational matters, except for product research and development.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Nan Fang, having spent the day running errands, finished her dinner and had to move to Guanlan International by herself.
While packing her clothes at the hotel and talking to Ke Jing Yu on the phone to report the situation, Zhou Jin Xiu suddenly paid her a visit.
Hanging up the phone and seeing Jiang Nan Fang's suitcase open with clothes strewn across the sofa, Zhou Jin Xiu was startled.
"What are you doing? Are you leaving Nancheng? Where are you going? Why didn't you tell me you were leaving again? You woman, why do you like leaving without saying goodbye so much? Are you trying to make me sick?"
Jiang Nan Fang threw a piece of clothing at his head and told him to calm down.
"I'm just moving. I'm not leaving. Stop shouting."
"Tell me, why are you here again? To do free labor for you?"
So, she wasn't leaving, just moving.
Zhou Jin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to her side to help her fold clothes.
"Look at what you're saying. Can't I just come to see you? Come on, let me help you move. You worked hard for me the other day, so let me be your driver and show my filial piety."
She was already feeling bored and lonely moving to her new home by herself, so having someone to liven things up and distract her was good.
Jiang Nan Fang tacitly allowed him to join.
After packing, they drove to the underground parking lot of Guanlan International.
Because she had seen a memorable scene here last time, Jiang Nan Fang subconsciously glanced at the parking space opposite as soon as they entered.
Fortunately, the car owner was not present today, and the parking space was empty.
The two of them went upstairs, pulling their luggage and chatting.
Upon arriving home and putting their things down, Zhou Jin Xiu hesitantly told Jiang Nan Fang.
Although her proposal was good, it couldn't be implemented effectively. Could she work overtime and go to the site to provide guidance?
"..."
Within five minutes, Jiang Nan Fang retreated from her new home.
As the elevator went down, it opened on the 20th floor. A young woman, looking annoyed, who Jiang Nan Fang had seen being intimate with a man in the parking lot, walked in.
She stood with her back to Jiang Nan Fang and Zhou Jin Xiu. Her phone had been ringing since she entered.
However, each time it rang for less than two seconds, she hung up. Jiang Nan Fang guessed it was that man calling her.
From the 20th floor down to the first floor, the phone rang more than five times repeatedly.
Finally, as they were about to land, and everyone was getting impatient, she answered.
"I've already gotten rid of the child. It's gone. We have no relationship anymore. Can you please stop calling me?"
"I don't want your house, and I don't want your car. I'll mail the keys to you tomorrow. I'm moving out now and won't take advantage of you. What more are you unhappy about?"
"Don't talk about the past, I don't want to mention it! You can't give me a future, so what's the point of dragging this out?"
"I'm begging you, let's stop contacting each other. Just let me go."
The elevator door opened, and Fang Yuan, while speaking angrily to Father Zhou, walked forward with a click-clack of her high heels.
Zhou Jin Xiu stared at her retreating back, scrutinizing her with interest. He deliberately lagged a couple of steps behind and gossiped with Jiang Nan Fang.
"Who recommended this residential complex to you? It's a gathering place for old men's mistresses."
"Have you paid the money? If not, I suggest you get a refund immediately. Spending too much time with women like this can tarnish your reputation, even if you're innocent."
Jiang Nan Fang shot him a glance. "Which eye saw her as an old man's mistress?"
"Every eye can see it," Zhou Jin Xiu replied with contempt.
"You're not a man, so you wouldn't understand. Her appearance, her walk, her tone of voice – she's clearly the type of naive little sister adored by middle-aged, greasy old men."
"She's dressed like a little rabbit, but in reality, she's more calculating than anyone. Only foolish old men with too much money fall for them."
"..."
After a few words, without paying attention, Fang Yuan, who had been walking ahead, suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Nan Fang looked around curiously. She didn't see anyone, but behind a pillar directly in front of them, she spotted a lost high-heeled shoe.
"Strange, why did that person suddenly disappear while walking? Is this shoe hers? How could it..."
Zhou Jin Xiu grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Don't look at any ominous things. It's creepy, aren't you afraid of being possessed by something dirty?"
"Just walk your own way. Don't mind what happened to her. For people in her profession, it's normal to face risks. Losing it is normal."
"Don't bother. Let's go quickly!"
