593: Chapter 590: Tangyu’s Influence 593: Chapter 590: Tangyu’s Influence Tangyu had stayed in Fang Min’s office for a whole half-hour before he came out, his lips still savored with sweetness, the aftertaste lingering.
His face also beamed with a hint of happiness, though a trace of a bitter smile remained.
Sister Min hadn’t fully let go, although they had made significant progress, complete relief had not yet been reached.
Content with the outcome for now, Tangyu found some comfort.
He would simply have to give Sister Min more time to clear her mind; he could afford to wait.
No sooner had he exited Fang Min’s office than Tangyu almost bumped into a figure.
He smiled upon seeing who it was, “Shanshan, I was just about to look for you.
What a coincidence.”
Liu Shanshan’s gaze swiftly flitted across Tangyu’s face, then she averted her eyes as if she hadn’t seen him, “Hmm, yeah, what a coincidence.”
Seeing Liu Shanshan’s evasive gaze, Tangyu immediately knew she could guess what had taken place in Sister Min’s office, especially with some residual evidence still on his lips.
Liu Shanshan was no fool.
She must have heard earlier that he had arrived, so she came looking for him, failed to find him, and then surmised that he was in Sister Min’s office.
“Shanshan, I might not have much time to come to the office anymore,” Tangyu said.
Liu Shanshan looked up briefly at Tangyu and responded with an ‘oh’, showing no surprise at his remark as if she had expected it.
Seeing her slightly disheartened and sorrowful demeanor, Tangyu genuinely wanted to pull her into his arms, to offer her warmth and care.
“I’ll be at Donglin First Hospital Traditional Chinese Medicine Department from now on, but I will still come to visit when I can.
The reporters have been too many these days, after a few days, I will ask you out for a meal,” Tangyu said.
“Mm,” Liu Shanshan nodded, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
She was a girl easily satisfied, content just knowing that Tangyu still thought of her, remembered her.
The two stood there, momentarily unsure of what more to say.
Some things, after all, do not need to be voiced; they are fully understood in silence.
Sometimes silence is more expressive than words, silence too is a form of realm, a revelation of emotions.
“Oh, I have to go and talk to Sister Xinxin,” Tangyu said.
“Mm, go ahead; Sister Xinxin is in her office,” Liu Shanshan said.
Tangyu nodded, slipped a piece of paper into Liu Shanshan’s hand, and said, “This is my new number, call me if you need anything.” He then walked towards Zhao Xinxin’s office, arriving quickly.
As he approached the door, he could hear voices inside, indicating that Zhao Xinxin was hosting guests.
A middle-aged man and a charming young woman, who, judging by their attire, appeared to be important clients and were personally hosted by Zhao Xinxin, obviously not ordinary characters.
“Ah, Tangyu, you are here,” Zhao Xinxin’s gaze suddenly caught Tangyu standing at the door, and she stood up.
Zhao Xinxin’s two guests also immediately turned their gaze towards Tangyu.
Upon realizing it truly was Tangyu, they too promptly stood up, their eyes flashing an atypical gleam.
“Sister Xinxin,” Tangyu walked in and greeted with a smile.
“Divine Doctor Tang, haha, it is finally a pleasure to meet you in person.
You are even more handsome and charismatic than on television.
It is such an honor to meet you in person, Divine Doctor Tang.
Coming to Xinxin Culture and Art Company has definitely been worthwhile.
Zhao, regarding our cooperation, let’s just settle it as is.
I will have someone come over soon to discuss some details with Zhao.
As long as this collaboration goes well, we will definitely have more substantial ones in the future,” the middle-aged man said.
Zhao Xinxin immediately smiled and replied, “Sure, no problem, Mr.
Yan, I believe it will be a very pleasant cooperation.”
“Haha, I believe so too,” Mr.
Yan laughed heartily.
After finishing, he pulled out a pen from his pocket, took a respectful stance, and handed it to Tangyu, “Divine Doctor Tang, may I boldly ask for your autograph?
You don’t know how much I admire and appreciate you.
Our Huaxia Country needs more capable people like you, Divine Doctor Tang; then those from America won’t dare to oppress us.
Our great Huaxia cannot let others bully us; it’s too suffocating.
Divine Doctor Tang, the fight you fought was truly a display of our national might, venting the grievances of our people.
Just for that, one must admire you, Divine Doctor Tang.
So, I came specifically to discuss potential collaboration with Zhao as a small token of my esteem,” Mr.
Yan said.
Tangyu smiled, realizing Mr.
Yan had come to cooperate with Xinxin Culture and Art Company mainly because of him.
He hadn’t expected to have such a significant impact and was quite willing to help Sister Xinxin.
Xinxin Culture and Art was a small company with not very competitive within the industry.
If this opportunity could help Sister Xinxin and Xinxin Culture and Art, Tangyu was more than willing to help.
“Of course, no problem, I thank you for your consideration, Mr.
Yan.
Although Xinxin Culture and Art is a small company, we still have our strengths, and we put two hundred percent of our effort into every case, so I also believe this will be a pleasant cooperation,” Tangyu said.
Mr.
Yan also smiled, “As Divine Doctor Tang said, it is sure to be a pleasant cooperation.
Just sign here, haha, currently, obtaining an autograph from Divine Doctor Tang is indeed a rare treasure; I’ve truly gained a prized possession,” he said.
“Manager Yan, you’re too kind—it’s just an autograph, hardly worth mentioning.
I do hope, though, that Manager Yan will keep Xinxin Culture and Art in mind for future opportunities if any suitable projects come along from your friends,” Tangyu said.
“Absolutely, absolutely.
Just for Divine Doctor Tang’s statement, I will definitely help out,” Manager Yan replied with a hearty laugh, readily agreeing, and his face was all smiles.
The charming middle-aged woman also came over to exchange pleasantries, then asked Tangyu for a photo and an autograph, promising full cooperation with Xinxin Culture and Art and to introduce more friends.
Tangyu was equally enthusiastic in his responses, leaving both parties excited and overjoyed.
They chatted idly for a good while before the pair took their leave due to other commitments.
After seeing off the two, Tangyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the task was no ordinary feat: “Xinxin, I think you owe me a red envelope.”
Looking at Tangyu, Zhao Xinxin was full of gratitude and chuckled, “You still want a red envelope?
Just count how many days you’ve skipped work.
You spend less time at the office than you do outside; it’s lucky we haven’t docked your pay.”
“Hehe, my apologies,” Tangyu laughed.
Zhao Xinxin then grew serious, “Tangyu, thank you so much, I really can’t thank you enough.
Perhaps because of you, I might change my life and take a leap forward.
In just these two days, over a hundred new clients have approached us, and so far, more than twenty have signed preliminary cooperation agreements.
The people I met with today are key figures in major companies, and I believe even more collaborations await Xinxin Culture and Art.
Just the contracts we’ve signed today have kept us busy enough; if we get any more, we’ll have to expand our company immediately.
If we keep this up, by next year our Xinxin Culture and Art could at least double its size and achieve a real breakthrough.”
Tangyu smiled, “That’s great news, and I hope to see Xinxin Culture and Art soar too.”
“Yes, it’s wonderful, and it’s all thanks to the tremendous opportunity you brought to Xinxin Culture and Art.
That’s why I said I don’t know how to thank you,” Zhao Xinxin said.
“Xinxin, why be so formal?
If you don’t know, then don’t bother.
We’re close, aren’t we?
Making it so formal makes me feel embarrassed.
Whether I’m Tangyu or Divine Doctor Tang, in front of you, I’m just your employee.
Just order me around as you wish,” Tangyu said.
Zhao Xinxin shook her head with a smile, “An employee like you, I nearly want to worship you like a Bodhisattva, how could I possibly order you around?
If that got out, imagine what your crazy fans might do to my company.
But Tangyu, if I’m not mistaken, you probably won’t be staying with Xinxin Culture and Art, will you?
You must have better places to be?”
“No, I’m still alive; don’t start offering sacrifices for me!
Hehe, Xinxin, you certainly have a divine insight.
Indeed, I came here today just to discuss this matter.
I’ll be working at Donglin First Hospital Traditional Chinese Medicine Department from now on, but I’ll still come back to visit everyone when I have time,” Tangyu explained.
Zhao Xinxin nodded, “Hmm, that’s good.
Donglin First Hospital’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Department is the best in Donglin City.
Your becoming a doctor there is indeed making good use of your talents and skills.
Considering your fame and medical skills, having you there will definitely cause a sensation—it’s truly your stage.
From your first day at the company, I knew you weren’t cut out for our line of work; you were just experiencing life here.
Now that you’ve done that, it’s time you do what you really need to.”
“Xinxin, you talk as if you know me so well.
However, it’s not to be a doctor there; I’m going to be the director,” Tangyu responded, having truly come to Xinxin Culture and Art just to experience life.
“Director?!” Zhao Xinxin was stunned momentarily but then understood.
Tangyu was now the savior of traditional medicine, Divine Doctor Tang, a national hero, a national idol.
With his contributions and medical skills, becoming the director of a traditional medicine hospital was altogether fitting and not unexpected: “Congratulations.”
“Ah, it’s really frustrating.
I’ve never even been a team leader or class monitor before, and now they want me to run a huge traditional medicine hospital; it’s really tough.
Xinxin, I didn’t actually want to be the director, but President Bi persuaded me so persistently that I agreed—it’s really difficult for me,” Tangyu confessed.
Zhao Xinxin rolled her eyes at Tangyu, noticing his modest act, “Come off it, Director Tang.
Director of Donglin First Hospital Traditional Chinese Medicine Department—a position not any less significant than a bureau director.
You got the job straight away, I bet you’re thrilled.
“Don’t say that, Xinxin.
I honestly preferred being a carefree, easy-going employee at Xinxin Culture and Art.
Suddenly being thrust into that position, I really don’t feel up to it.
It’s like a commoner suddenly becoming emperor; the shift is too drastic,” Tangyu said.
“You’ll get used to it eventually.
Besides, they want you there mainly for your fame and medical skills, not for your leadership abilities—you’ll just be a figurehead,” Zhao Xinxin candidly pointed out.
“Right—nothing gets past Xinxin,” Tangyu grimaced, feeling utterly transparent in front of a wise woman.
