Zheng Peian and Xu Chunliang went to Huichun Hall together.
Xu Chunliang saw a black G-Wagon parked in front and imdiately recognized it as Mo Han’s car. He frowned slightly, wondering why she ca to Huichun Hall alone, and especially when he wasn’t around.
Su Qing got out of the car and handed the keys to Zheng Peian. The subway station was not far ahead, and she walked over.
Xu Chunliang arranged to et her for her next follow-up appointnt, and watched Su Qing leave. Zheng Peian said, "This girl is nice too—she’s pretty, has a good temper, and even knows how to cook."
Xu Chunliang laughed, "You should worry more about your own affairs."
The two walked into Huichun Hall and hadn’t gotten far when they heard Xu Changshan’s hearty laughter.
Upon entering, they saw Xu Changshan playing chess with Mo Han. Xu Changshan, seeing them return, waved at Xu Chunliang and said, "Chunliang, you ca just in ti. Miss Mo has been waiting for you for over an hour."
Xu Chunliang looked at Mo Han, puzzled, thinking to himself—did I make you wait? Did I make any appointnt with you?
Mo Han said, "Grandpa Xu, he must have been busy and forgot about our appointnt."
Xu Chunliang secretly sighed—this girl’s ability to lie is no worse than mine, and it wasn’t appropriate to expose her in front of Grandpa and the others, so he nodded and said, "Sorry for the wait, I had a bit too much to drink with Uncle Zheng today."
Xu Changshan noticed the obvious tipsiness in Zheng Peian and glared at him, "How can you see patients like this in the afternoon?"
Zheng Peian now spent his free ti seeing patients at Huichun Hall. Since becoming an apprentice, Xu Changshan had beco stricter with him, and Zheng Peian understood that his master wanted the best for him and to teach him more dical skills. He quickly pointed at Xu Chunliang and said, "I didn’t want to drink; he forced ."
Xu Changshan said, "You’re his uncle. If you didn’t want to drink, could he have held your nose and poured it down?"
"Huh?"
Xu Changshan sniffed, "You drank Moutai." The old man’s nose was sharp.
Zheng Peian glanced at Xu Chunliang, who quickly changed the topic, "Uncle Zheng, why don’t you rest in my room for a bit? Mo Han, you guys know each other?"
Xu Changshan laughed, "More than just know each other. We’re chess friends now."
Xu Chunliang looked at Mo Han, wondering what kind of charm she had used on his grandpa while he was away. Grandpa seed to like her quite a lot.
Mo Han said, "Did you forget about going back to Weishan Island?"
Xu Chunliang pretended to suddenly rember, "Oh, my brain! I actually forgot." He didn’t want Mo Han to stay long at Huichun Hall anyway. He had planned to return to Weishan Island later in the evening, but since Mo Han brought it up, he decided to go along with it. He said a word to his grandpa and left with Mo Han.
Once in the car, Xu Chunliang said, "Wow, taking advantage of my absence to launch a surprise attack."
Mo Han replied, "Didn’t you say you were going? I’m kindly accompanying you, so how can you call it a surprise attack? It’s not like you’ve done anything shady."
Xu Chunliang said, "Are we really going?"
Mo Han nodded, "President Luan gave the task to conduct a field investigation on Weishan Island. I ca to Dongzhou just for this."
Xu Chunliang told her to drive to Ancient Spring Town. The port in Ancient Spring Town had been renovated, and they could take a ferry from there to the island.
Halfway there, Wang Jinwu called, asking where he was. It turned out that Deputy Mayor Qin Zhengyang was visiting Xianhong Farm today for an inspection and would be hosted there in the evening. He specifically ntioned Xu Chunliang, so Wang Jinwu wanted to invite him to join.
Xu Chunliang estimated the ti and realized he could make it, so he agreed, telling Wang Jinwu that he would be bringing a distinguished guest along tonight.
After he hung up, Mo Han coldly said, "Don’t count in on such boring banquets."
Xu Chunliang ntioned the people attending that night, and Mo Han fell silent. The main task of this trip to Weishan Island was to inspect Xianhong Farm. Although eting Qin Zhengyang wasn’t in her original plan, there was no harm in having a face-to-face eting.
Xu Chunliang asked Mo Han to pull over. Mo Han thought he needed to use the restroom but didn’t expect that he wanted to switch seats with her. Xu Chunliang had only just learned to drive and was quite eager. He looked at cars the sa way he looked at beautiful won, always wanting to try them out.
The conversation between Zhao Feiyang and Dong Changhao wasn’t pleasant. Dong Changhao was obviously harder to deal with than Yuan Peiqiang.
After becoming the Vice Director of Changxing Hospital, Dong Changhao wanted to accomplish two things. First, to terminate the existing contracts of the physical examination and dical aesthetics centers. Second, to initiate the construction of the Healthy Elderly Care Hospital.
The existing contract for the physical examination center was due to expire at the end of the year, and the hospital planned to take it back anyway. There wasn’t much controversy over this point. However, the contractor for the dical aesthetics center was Pei Yu, but in reality, it was Pei Lin handling it. The contract was not even a year old. One can’t just void a contract. Although Zhao Feiyang wanted to clear Pei Lin’s investnt from Changxing, Dong Changhao’s proposal was a clear disregard for him.
Dong Changhao rely inford Zhao Feiyang of his intentions, focusing primarily on the Healthy Elderly Care Hospital. He showed apparent respect to Zhao Feiyang, but in reality, he was rely announcing the decision made by the higher-ups.
Zhao Feiyang was very frustrated. Tang Jinglun was here in Dongzhou. Ordinarily, for such a significant matter, shouldn’t he discuss it with him face-to-face? After all, he was the CEO of Dongzhou Huanyan dical Managent Co., Ltd. Even though Tang Jinglun just rebranded the concept as ’Huanyan Health,’ he was still the First Vice President.
Tang Jinglun’s actions clearly sidelined him. In Tang Jinglun’s eyes, even Xu Chunliang seed more important than him.
Zhao Feiyang felt a strong sense of crisis. The Huayuan Group had indeed undergone a power shift. Although Tang Jingwei was still the head of Huayan, the actual manager had beco Tang Jinglun.
Zhao Feiyang also agreed with the construction of the Healthy Elderly Care Hospital, but where would the money co from? He was very aware of Huayuan Group’s financial situation; pursuing three avenues at once was impossible.
From the current situation, Tang Jinglun seed to prioritize the Healthy Elderly Care Hospital. It’s highly likely that the investnt focus might shift, and if most of the funds flowed towards the Healthy Elderly Care Hospital, the construction of the Changxing Headquarters would be affected.
Zhao Feiyang never imagined that the biggest challenge wouldn’t co from within Changxing, but from the Huayuan Group. He thought leaving the system ant escaping the internal strife and allowing him to strive freely, but reality had slapped him harshly.
After days of gloomy weather, Dongzhou finally welcod a clear and pleasant dusk. Enjoying an afternoon tea bathed in the sunset’s glow was an incredibly delightful experience.
Tang Jinglun handed a bag to Pei Lin, "This is for you."
Pei Lin quickly waved her hand, "There’s no need."
Tang Jinglun chuckled, "Why so polite with ? Mrs. Tang has only you as a goddaughter, and I only have you as a god sister. See if you like it."
Pei Lin took out a gift box from inside. She was curious about what this god brother had gifted her. When she opened it, she found two jade bracelets inside. Seeing their exquisite quality, she knew they were valuable, and her god brother was indeed generous.
"President Tang, I can’t accept such an expensive gift," Pei Lin said. Despite her words, she was reluctant to return the gift.
"Keep it, or I’ll get upset."
Pei Lin fully understood the saying ’Nothing is free in this world.’ Mrs. Tang acknowledging her as a goddaughter was actually Tang Jingwei’s idea. Zhao Feiyang opposed it, but Pei Lin had made the decision to recognize Mrs. Tang as her godmother independently. Although Tang Jinglun called himself her god brother, they had never interacted before. This eting was his initiative.
When inviting her over, Tang Jinglun especially emphasized wanting to et her alone. Pei Lin understood what he ant; eting alone was to exclude Zhao Feiyang. As Zhao Feiyang’s fiancée, she already knew that Zhao had not been doing well lately. After Tang Jinglun beca the CEO of Huayuan Group, he reorganized the health business, and the most significant change was segregating the health business.
Pei Lin heard rumors that the dical aesthetics center might be affected. Since the failure of Perfect Breast Augntation, she had fully ventured into the dical aesthetics industry. Now that the dical aesthetics center was just gaining montum, she was unwilling to let it go. Zhao Feiyang had repeatedly expressed the need for her to cut ties with Changxing, but she hadn’t agreed.
If this was also Tang Jinglun’s agenda, Pei Lin had to make the painful decision to let go. She wasn’t unaware of the bigger picture. If the existence of the dical aesthetics center affected Zhao Feiyang’s future, she had to choose sacrifice. She knew very well that Zhao Feiyang’s core interest had to be preserved.
Tang Jinglun briefly introduced his upcoming developnt plans. The more Pei Lin listened, the more her mood darkened. Was this bracelet considered a compensation? Although unhappy, she had to express her stance: "Rest assured, President Tang, I will tell my cousin that everything must make way for Changxing’s developnt."
Tang Jinglun smiled, "I’ve long recognized that you understand the bigger picture."
Pei Lin sighed inwardly, realizing that when under soone else’s roof, one must bow their head. After Tang Jinglun’s rise, Zhao Feiyang likely wouldn’t have an easy ti.
Tang Jinglun said, "Regarding the future developnt of Huanyan Health, Feiyang and I have slightly different views. He insists on focusing on healthcare, prioritizing the developnt of Changxing Hospital, promoting the construction of shareholding hospitals, and enhancing the hospital’s comprehensive diagnosis capabilities. I agree with his overall direction, but from Huayuan Group’s overall interest perspective, this developnt path involves a lengthy accumulation period. As the helmsman of Huayuan Group, I must consider the bigger picture and identify the project that aligns best with the Group’s interests for prioritized developnt." At this point, he paused deliberately, took a sip of tea, and discreetly observed Pei Lin’s expression.
It was evident that Pei Lin was trying hard to maintain her composure. She certainly intended to align with Zhao Feiyang, but she was neither a Changxing employee nor part of Huanyan, making it inconvenient for her to voice her opinion at such a sensitive ti.
Tang Jinglun knew that Pei Lin must be quite apprehensive at the mont because his signal was to clear her out of Changxing, which ant she would incur a financial loss.
