The call was quickly connected, and Jiang Yuanming's voice came through: "Dr. Li, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"
"Brother Jiang, some time has passed, and I wanted to ask if the prescription I gave you was effective," Li Se asked with a smile.
"I was just about to check today. If she's really pregnant, Dr. Li, I will definitely thank you properly," Jiang Yuanming said excitedly.
However, as they talked, Jiang Yuanming, being a shrewd person, added, "Dr. Li, you wouldn't be calling just for this matter, would you?"
Li Se felt a bit awkward. "Didn't I ask you to cooperate with Yunmeng Company some time ago? You sent a person in charge named Lu Xinghe to Qingyun City, and he insisted I kneel before he would cooperate with Yunmeng."
"Is there such a thing?" Jiang Yuanming's expression immediately darkened. "Dr. Li, where are you? I'll come over right away."
"Brother Jiang, there's no need. A phone call will suffice." Li Se didn't want to trouble Jiang Yuanming to make a trip.
"I'll come in person. Your sister-in-law has been wanting to see you, so you can examine her later," Jiang Yuanming insisted on coming personally.
Li Se had no choice but to give him the address. After hanging up, he turned to Xia Bingyun and said, "Bingyun, the boss of Oulan is coming. Let's wait."
Lu Xinghe was stunned, but then he burst into laughter. "My boss is coming? Ridiculous! Li Se, you dare to hit me? This matter isn't over today!"
As he spoke, he looked at Xia Bingyun and said in a deep voice, "Bingyun, are you really going to give up Oulan's cooperation for him? I've liked you for so long. When Oulan Group was about to develop the market in Qingyun City, you were the first person I thought of. Do you know how many cosmetic companies have approached me during this time, offering all sorts of benefits? I rejected them all, because I wanted to give this opportunity to you, but you..."
Lu Xinghe put on a look of deep affection.
If it were another woman, she might have been deeply moved, but Xia Bingyun remained indifferent.
"Lu Xinghe, I'm sorry, I don't like you!" Xia Bingyun said concisely.
Lu Xinghe felt as if his heart was breaking. He looked at Xia Bingyun and said, "You don't even want Oulan Group's cooperation anymore?"
"Although I really want to cooperate with Oulan Group, you shouldn't have targeted my boyfriend. Moreover, I won't drink with you alone just for the sake of cooperating with Oulan Group." Xia Bingyun was very direct. Her meaning was clear: no matter how much she wanted to cooperate with Oulan Group, she wouldn't sell herself.
Lu Xinghe's face turned unpleasant. At this point, he found it difficult to back down, as Oulan Group had already designated Yunmeng Company for cooperation.
"You'll regret this later," Li Se said calmly.
"Then I'll wait to regret it!" Lu Xinghe snorted coldly.
About ten minutes passed quickly.
Lu Xinghe sneered, "What, my boss still hasn't arrived?"
He Guang looked on with a half-smile, but no one believed that Li Se was actually calling the boss of Oulan Group.
Knock, knock, knock!
At this moment, there was a knock on the private room door.
"Come in!" Lu Xinghe's expression darkened.
The private room door was pushed open, and Jiang Yuanming walked in. He immediately approached Li Se and asked, "Dr. Li, who is the person in charge of my company?"
"Him!" Li Se pointed at Lu Xinghe.
"What's your name?" Jiang Yuanming clearly didn't recognize Lu Xinghe. It wasn't surprising, as he was the big boss of Oulan Group; how would he know a mere person in charge?
Lu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded. Jiang Yuanming didn't recognize him, but how could he not recognize Jiang Yuan? The company had photos of the big boss! He almost fell off his chair and quickly said, "Chairman Jiang... Jiang, I am Lu Xinghe, the person in charge of developing the Qingyun City market."
"You're fired!" Jiang Yuanming said very concisely.
"Chairman Jiang, I..." Lu Xinghe tried to say something.
Jiang Yuanming said coldly, "It's because of Dr. Li that I want Oulan Group to cooperate with Yunmeng Company. And you, you actually want Dr. Li to kneel and apologize to you. What a show of authority! Furthermore, everyone in your department is fired. You dare to play these petty tricks behind my back!"
Although he didn't fully understand the situation, as a big boss, he could guess some of it. In fact, such things happened often, but Lu Xinghe's mistake was provoking Li Se.
"I was wrong... Chairman Jiang, please don't fire me... I know I was wrong... I'll never dare to do it again..." Lu Xinghe pleaded.
"You should be begging Dr. Li, not me," Jiang Yuanming said calmly.
Lu Xinghe immediately knelt before Li Se and tearfully begged, "Dr. Li, it was my fault. I shouldn't have shown off in front of you. Please, spare me. I'll never dare again..."
"Scram!" Li Se uttered a single word.
"Dr. Li, don't bother with people like him. Come on, your sister-in-law has cooked dinner at home. Bring your girlfriend along," Jiang Yuanming said with a smile, assuming Xia Bingyun was Li Se's girlfriend.
Xia Bingyun's pretty face flushed, but she didn't bother to explain.
Li Se glanced at Xia Bingyun. Seeing that she said nothing, he nodded. "Alright. It's a good opportunity to check my sister-in-law's pulse. Brother Jiang, you don't need to call me Dr. Li anymore. Just call me Li Se."
"Haha, then I'll call you Brother Li," Jiang Yuanming was more than willing; he naturally wanted to build a closer relationship with Li Se.
Soon, they arrived at the villa Jiang Yuanming had recently purchased.
Jiang Yuanming was not originally from Qingyun City. The reason he came to Qingyun City was to find a doctor. However, he had now settled down, though he wouldn't be staying for long.
But this was how rich people were; even if they wouldn't stay long, they would buy villas worth tens of millions to enjoy.
The Qiao family was even more extravagant, buying an entire manor.
Qiu Qing saw Li Se and her face lit up with a smile. Then, she saw Xia Bingyun and couldn't help but be stunned. "Dr. Li, who is this?"
In her memory, Li Se seemed to have a good relationship with Qiao Weiwei, so why was there another woman by his side now, and such a beautiful one at that, so beautiful that even she felt a bit jealous?
"Of course, she's Brother Li's girlfriend," Jiang Yuanming laughed heartily. "Brother Li, quickly check sister-in-law's pulse."
Li Se nodded and began to feel Qiu Qing's pulse. Although some time had passed, pregnancy was not an easy matter. The timeframe he had given was about two months, not necessarily exactly two months, but that she would definitely be pregnant within two months.
"She's pregnant!"
Li Se hadn't held much hope, but upon checking her pulse, she was indeed pregnant.
"Really?" Qiu Qing was a little excited.
"That's great, really great!" Jiang Yuanming was so excited he almost jumped.
Qiu Qing rolled her eyes. "You're already so old, why are you still like a child?"
"I'm just too excited," Jiang Yuanming said, a little embarrassed.
Xia Bingyun watched with surprise. As the boss of a cosmetic company, she certainly knew who Jiang Yuanming was. She had originally thought such a big boss would be aloof, but it seemed he was no different from ordinary people.
Then, she looked at Li Se again, her beautiful eyes filled with a different emotion.
