Chapter 471: Chapter 471 Blocked a Blade
Li Yehan was afraid that Nan Qiao wouldn’t agree, so he said a couple of things and hung up the phone.
Li Yehan called Secretary Zhao in.
“Mr. Li.” Secretary Zhao stood there respectfully.
“Secretary Zhao, delegate today’s work to others. Help me find a suitable place for a wedding and what a wedding requires. Create a proposal, there is no budget limit, as long as it’s good and Qiaoqiao likes it.”
Secretary Zhao: ??
This is spoiling her too much!
Why didn’t my mom make me a woman, so envious.
Secretary Zhao: “Mr. Li, I’ll start researching right away and have it done by today.”
Secretary Zhao, carrying his important task, returned to the office.
Secretary Zhao took his computer, planning to go somewhere quiet.
Secretary Number Two asked curiously, “Secretary Zhao, where are you going? Not working anymore?”
“Mr. Li instructed me to do something big; my work is all yours now. Rest assured, Mr. Li will never mistreat those who work hard.”
They were all single and working overtime wasn’t much.
But they were curious about what big thing Mr. Li had instructed Secretary Zhao to do.
Yet they dared not ask and could only work silently.
…
Nan Qiao left the office, and Fu Qingyan followed.
“Mr. Qiao.”
Nan Qiao turned around, and Fu Qingyan caught up with her.
“Mr. Qiao, you always help me look at design drawings; you’ve been a huge help. Can I treat you to a meal?”
Nan Qiao met Fu Qingyan’s clear eyes and smiled as she declined, “No need to be polite. Reviewing design drawings is part of my job responsibilities; you don’t need to feel embarrassed.”
Fu Qingyan still smiled and said, “Mr. Qiao, please agree. My ability to improve my skills is all thanks to you. You definitely wouldn’t accept a gift from me, so let me treat you to a meal as a small gesture.”
With Fu Qinghua’s words reaching this point, Nan Qiao agreed.
“How about this: let’s have dinner together tonight. I’ll treat the entire design department. I’ll send the time and place to Rong Yan, and you all can come together.”
Fu Qingyan showed no discomfort and instead smiled, “Mr. Qiao, I haven’t treated everyone since joining the company. I’ll host dinner tonight; you must come.”
Fu Qingyan, afraid that Nan Qiao wouldn’t agree, ran off after speaking.
Running, she even turned her head to wave at Nan Qiao.
The quirky girl, Nan Qiao smiled, watching her leave before getting into the car.
…
Nan Qiao arrived at the dormitory, preparing to join everyone for an experiment.
At this time, Lv Cancan walked in from outside.
Nan Qiao felt a bit embarrassed for not involving Lv Cancan in the experiment.
On the surface, the school chose them, but in reality, it was influenced by Nan Qiao’s opinion.
The experiment required only three people, and Nan Qiao had to select Chen Man and Huang Xue based on everyone’s capabilities.
Lv Cancan linked arms with Nan Qiao, smiling brightly, “Qiaoqiao, you don’t need to feel bad. I know my skills are a bit lacking compared to everyone else. The school chose them; I’m not upset.”
Huang Xue and Chen Man also breathed a sigh of relief. They thought Lv Cancan would be upset, but she wasn’t and instead was cheerful every day.
Chen Man laughed and said, “I’ll treat everyone to a meal, order whatever you like.”
The group happily went to eat together.
Nan Qiao said, “I heard there’s a seafood BBQ buffet nearby, 599 per person. Let’s go there.”
Chen Man: “Sure, eat whatever you want; I’ve got money.”
Lv Cancan walked at the back, following them along.
…
At night.
Nan Qiao went to the restaurant Rong Yan reserved for dinner.
As Nan Qiao reached the entrance, Fu Qingyan happened to arrive too.
“Mr. Qiao, what a coincidence.”
Fu Qingyan walked up to Nan Qiao, very happy.
The two were just about to go inside when suddenly, a drunk man with a knife approached.
The drunk man wielded the knife, slashing towards Nan Qiao.
“Mr. Qiao, watch out!”
Fu Qingyan, scared pale, leapt in front of Nan Qiao, taking the hit for her.
The knife struck Fu Qingyan’s back, and blood gushed out.
Nan Qiao kicked the drunkard away, and Rong Yan and Secretary Fu, who arrived, quickly subdued the drunkard.
Thankfully, there were many onlookers, or Rong Yan and Secretary Fu would have given the drunkard a beating!
Nan Qiao took out her phone to call an ambulance and took a hemostatic powder from her bag, applying it to her wound.
Very soon, the ambulance arrived and took Fu Qingyan to the hospital.
Nan Qiao drove after them and contacted Zheng Qinnian to do the surgery.
…
Nan Qiao, Secretary Fu, and Rong Yan stood outside the operating room.
Shortly after, Nan Qiao’s phone rang. It was a call from Hou Ze.
“Boss, I investigated. This drunkard has always been like this, acting crazy. When he gets drunk, he hits people with objects. No one expected him to wield a knife today. Upon investigation, the drunkard wasn’t directed by anyone to attack.”
Thus, this incident had nothing to do with Fu Qingyan.
It’s not that Nan Qiao was overthinking; she just had to consider it.
Nan Qiao hung up the phone.
Nan Qiao said, “Secretary Fu, give Fu Qingyan a month’s leave. I’ll cover her medical expenses and lost wages.”
Fu Qingyan got hurt for her, so that money couldn’t be on her.
As for the drunk man, the police would handle it.
Rong Yan said, “It’s my fault too; I didn’t pay attention to any news when booking the restaurant. If I had, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Secretary Fu: “The drunk man could have attacked anyone; why did he target Mr. Qiao specifically? Mr. Qiao, you should investigate if someone wants to harm you.”
“I checked, it was an accident. You can return, I’ll handle the rest.”
“Mr. Qiao, let me take care of it. As your secretary, it’s most fitting for me to handle these things.”
Rong Yan: “I’ll stay too.”
“You’re both men; helping with wound care isn’t convenient. I found a nurse; she’ll be here soon to take care of Fu Qingyan.”
After a while, Fu Qingyan came out.
The wound was stitched, and now she just needed to recover.
Zheng Qinnian said, “Don’t worry; her wound is stable. The medicine used was made by Qiaoqiao herself, so it will heal quickly.”
Ordinary medicine wouldn’t work as well as what Nan Qiao made, and she felt relieved.
Seeing Fu Qingyan come out, Nan Qiao went to the ward with her,
“Fu Qingyan, thank you. Stay in for observation for a few days; I’ll cover medical and wage compensation, and Rong Yan will handle your work matters. Focus on healing.”
Fu Qingyan eagerly said, “Mr. Qiao, I can work. My left shoulder is injured, but my right shoulder and hand are fine; I can keep working.”
“Bones and tendons need a hundred days to heal; you need to focus on recovery.”
No matter what Fu Qingyan said, Nan Qiao didn’t agree.
Nan Qiao asked, “Where do you live? Will someone bring you a change of clothes? If not, I can help you get them.”
“Someone will bring them. Mr. Qiao, don’t worry.”
The nurse arrived, and Nan Qiao instructed her to take good care of Fu Qingyan and to contact her immediately if anything happened.
Once everything was explained, she finally left.
