Seeing her in good spirits and able to joke, Song Kaicheng’s face also broke into a smile. “Thank you for your hard work!”
“Brother Kaicheng, please don’t say that. This whole thing started because of me,” Shen Xi said earnestly. “Qin Siye has agreed to your proposed plan, and we can start the shareholding process at Ankang Hospital tomorrow.”
“Good. I will convey this good news to Director Bai as soon as possible. He must have been frantic these past couple of days.” Song Kaicheng reached out and pulled her coat forward. “Go inside, it’s cold out here. Get some rest.”
“Okay.” Shen Xi’s heart skipped a beat, not expecting him to do that. After saying goodbye, she turned and walked towards the lobby.
Little did she know, a man in a black luxury car not far away had seen their interaction clearly.
Back in her room, Shen Xi quickly took out the settlement statement from dinner from her bag.
She hadn’t expected a low-key restaurant like that to have such expensive dishes. They hadn’t ordered much, yet the bill came to over 3,000.
However, to be fair, the environment and the taste of the food were indeed quite good.
She took a photo of it with her phone and sent it to Qin Siye, adding a message below.
“Mr. Qin, this is the expense for tonight’s meal. Please deduct it from the 8,000 yuan.”
After sending it, she walked into the washroom, feeling a sense of relief.
Twenty minutes later, after finishing her washing routine, she found two replies from Qin Siye waiting for her.
“Dr. Shen, are you mistaken? You were the one who asked me out today, so why should this be deducted from the 8,000 yuan?”
“The decision on when to use that 8,000 yuan, as well as the meal you owe me in Xicheng, rests entirely with me. Just wait to be summoned.”
After reading the messages, Shen Xi smacked her forehead hard. She was truly foolish. Wasn’t she just asking for trouble?
How could she have linked this settlement statement to the 8,000 yuan? She must have burned her brain cells from drinking earlier.
Now it was a disaster. Not only did she not get a deduction, but she had also inadvertently reminded the man, giving him complete control over its usage.
In the following days, significant changes occurred within Ankang Hospital as it transitioned from a private enterprise to a shareholding institution.
Rumors quickly spread throughout the hospital, with whispers of foreign investment and even the K City’s richest man, Qin Siye, acquiring shares.
Everyone’s confidence in the hospital’s future grew.
Qin Si Yue’s true identity was also revealed.
“I never imagined that Qin Si Yue, who had been working at Ankang Hospital for two years so quietly, was actually Qin Siye’s biological sister.”
“Yes. Although their names differ by only one character, no one ever thought of that before.”
“Now I finally understand why Qin Si Yue dared to challenge Yuan Li in the cafeteria back then. It turns out her background is much more powerful than Yuan Li’s.”
“Also, haven’t you noticed that she and Dr. Shen have a very close relationship? Otherwise, why would she try so hard to protect her?”
“Of course, they are close. Don’t you know? Dr. Shen is their family’s specially appointed doctor, responsible for treating Qin Si Yue’s grandmother. It’s rumored that Qin Siye himself invited her.”
“How do you know so much detail?”
“Don’t you remember the widely publicized engagement cancellation between Qin Siye and Lu Yushan online? Dr. Shen was involved then. Lu Yushan claimed Qin Siye had an ambiguous relationship with Dr. Shen, although she later retracted it.”
“What? There was something like that? Then Qin Siye must have invested in Ankang this time for his sister and Dr. Shen.”
“It’s likely. I heard that a few days ago, Yuan Li brought her uncle to see Director Bai, and Dr. Shen was called into the principal’s office. Later, Qin Si Yue and Qin Siye also went there together.”
“These are all changes at the hospital’s upper management. For us, as long as the hospital operates well and makes money, we just need to do our jobs diligently and get our share.”
“That makes sense. I believe that with the hospital’s conversion to a shareholding system and the infusion of new blood, its future development will be even better.”
