Heh.
Someone like you, who can't even handle a small hospital, has the nerve to modify my proposal?
Li Qianfan scoffed internally and casually picked up the proposal, looking at the revised sections.
Gradually.
Li Qianfan's expression grew increasingly awkward, and his posture began to slump.
His current feeling was akin to certain women looking at their own reflection in a beauty-filtered camera, convinced they were of unparalleled beauty.
But after turning off the filter, they'd be shocked: "Damn, where did this ugly mug come from!?"
With a *snap*.
Old Su lit a cigarette and said slowly, "Vice President Li, in our line of business, nothing is more detrimental than trying to achieve success too quickly. Never let your ambition make you overlook difficulties. Young man, your path to growth is still long, and you'll need to learn a lot from me in the future."
This time, Li Qianfan didn't stare defiantly at Old Su's posturing.
He stood up, bowed respectfully to Old Su, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, President Su. I will keep your golden words in my heart."
"Don't worry, with me around, you won't take any detours."
Old Su chuckled lightly, waved his hand dismissively with a nonchalant air, "Go on, reflect on yourself."
Li Qianfan left dejectedly.
"Heh, young people!"
Old Su's spirits lifted. He saw Shen Yun by the door.
He nodded with satisfaction and said kindly, "Little Shen, keep up the good work. I'm very optimistic about you."
Shen Yun rose and curtsied, "Thank you for your encouragement, President Su. I will continue to strive."
Li Qianfan was reflecting.
Shen Yun was playing with fire.
Old Su was showing off.
Meanwhile, Lan Yunhai was on the phone with Murong Mingyuan.
"We can't touch Mo Hongti."
Murong Mingyuan said this to her lover with great pain in her heart.
Lan Yunhai paused and instinctively asked, "Even the prestigious Murong family of Sijiu can't afford to offend the person behind her?"
"Yes."
Murong Mingyuan replied truthfully, "The news just came back from my family. Even the renowned young master Tang Wenyuan of Jinghua has to respectfully call her 'sister-in-law'."
Lan Yunhai had heard of Tang Wenyuan's name long ago.
Now, hearing Murong Mingyuan say that Tang Wenyuan had to respectfully call Mo Hongti "sister-in-law" made his face instantly change.
He even.
Felt a chill creep up from the soles of his feet.
After all, he had fantasized about bedding both Mo Hongti and the woman in the black dress (Dai Paipai).
Fortunately, Murong Mingyuan had gathered this information in time.
If he had lost his patience and acted rashly against Mo Hongti!
The consequences would have been unimaginable.
"No wonder Du Tianci, after being bested in Qingyun, has never dared to retaliate."
Lan Yunhai raised his hand and wiped his forehead, "So, Mo Hongti has an absolute big shot behind her."
Murong Mingyuan said, "But Su Ziyu, the one you like, merely knows Mo Hongti. You can use her. And I can guarantee that even if she pleads with Mo Hongti, the person behind Mo Hongti won't offend us because of her."
"Mingyuan."
Lan Yunhai asked earnestly, "Do you truly support me taking Su Ziyu?"
Murong Mingyuan said coldly, "That night, she not only witnessed my embarrassment. More importantly, Mo Hongti used her arrival to slap your face. Brother Yunhai, you must not let her off the hook."
"Alright."
Lan Yunhai feigned reluctance, then pretended to be casual, "But honestly, Su Ziyu's mother isn't bad either."
Murong Mingyuan said decisively, "As long as you like her, what's a mother and daughter? I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."
Lan Yunhai smiled.
After an extended loving phone call with his adoring fiancée, he ended the conversation.
"Scorpion."
He called out to the door.
A young man with a sinister look walked in quickly, "Brother Hai."
"Tomorrow, send someone to Qingyun to lure a certain woman to a secluded spot and knock her out."
Lan Yunhai said slowly, "But don't touch a single hair on her head. She's someone Brother Hai likes. For now, she's just bait. I have enough ways to make her come to me willingly later and use all her means to please me. Do you understand what I mean?"
Scorpion replied, "Understood."
Lan Yunhai nodded and waved his hand.
Scorpion retreated.
Lan Yunhai opened his desk drawer and took out a stack of invitations, "Alas, the day after tomorrow is my wedding day. Tsk tsk, to be able to indulge before marriage, it's simply wonderful. Should I give Mo Hongti an invitation?"
He hesitated for a moment.
Then he picked up his phone and dialed.
The call was answered, but no one spoke.
"Su Ziyu."
Lan Yunhai said slowly, "Tomorrow is the last day of our two-week promise. I hope you can appear before 4 PM tomorrow in the Xiongfeng Racecourse at the foot of Swallow Mountain, in the southern mountainous area of the provincial capital. The scenery there is beautiful, with flowers in full bloom and birds singing. Even if you shout yourself hoarse, you won't disturb anyone."
Su Ziyu remained silent.
Lan Yunhai was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
After a full three minutes.
"Okay, I will arrive at the racecourse on time before 4 PM tomorrow."
Su Ziyu said coldly, and hung up the phone.
No matter how unwilling she was, this day had finally arrived.
How she wished that time could freeze today.
And never flow again!
But the sun still gradually set.
A light blue car slowly drove into Guangming Hospital.
Su Ziyu, who had been standing by the window with her arms crossed, staring blankly for an unknown amount of time, blinked her dazed eyes, which immediately filled with vibrant life.
Li Qianfan, who had been severely reprimanded by Old Su today, had finally adjusted his state before leaving work.
Upon arriving at the hospital and thinking of seeing his mature wife soon, his mood became even better.
His phone rang.
It was Li Chenyang: "Young Master, I'm returning to Sijiu tonight."
"Go ahead."
Li Qianfan smiled, "Actually, with the deaths of Zhao Lianjin and Mo Bin, there's no one secretly plotting against my wife anymore. You've worked hard during this period. Go home and spend time with your elders. I'll call you when I need your help again."
After talking with Li Chenyang for a few minutes, Li Qianfan got out of the car.
As he entered the lobby, he happened to encounter Zeng Ting leaving work.
"Little Ting, good evening. Dressed so beautifully, are you going to see your beloved?"
Li Qianfan looked Zeng Ting up and down, who was wearing a goose-yellow long dress, his face filled with exaggerated astonishment.
"You always tease me. Who is my beloved?"
Zeng Ting's face blushed, she chided him playfully, and fled with her head down.
Hahahaha.
Li Qianfan laughed silently and hurried upstairs.
He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door of the dean's office.
There was no answer.
Li Qianfan didn't mind, pushed the door open, and walked in.
The office was empty, but the door to the lounge was ajar.
He pushed the lounge door open as well—
Su Ziyu suddenly sprang out from behind the wall and threw her arms around him.
Li Qianfan was startled.
"Qianfan!"
Su Ziyu hugged him tightly, her voice trembling as she whispered in his ear, "I've only just realized how much I truly love you."
