Chen Bin was both anxious and angry, feeling a wave of dizziness overwhelm him.
He was just about to speak when Wu Jie scolded him again.
"You must solve Cheng Kai's issue today. If you can't, we'll break up!"
Suddenly widening his eyes, Chen Bin stared at her intently.
"What did you say?!"
Wu Jie instantly panicked a bit, swallowed, and pretended to be strong.
"I... I... Anyway, my stance is very clear. You must solve Cheng Kai's issue, otherwise... otherwise I'll break up with you."
Grabbing Wu Jie's collar, Chen Bin was furious.
"You dare to threaten with a breakup? Are you tired of living?!"
"No, I just... just..."
Wu Jie realized she had misspoken and beca extrely flustered.
Anger consud him, and Chen Bin directly pushed her onto the sofa.
"Want to break up, huh? Fine, get out! Don't let see you again!"
Wu Jie never intended to break up with Chen Bin. She just wanted to use this tactic to force him to resolve Cheng Kai's issue.
Unexpectedly, it backfired and infuriated him.
But once spoken, words can't be taken back, and Wu Jie felt her pride couldn't handle it, wiping her tears hastily.
"Fine, I'll go, who's afraid whom!"
Then she cried as she opened the door and left.
Chen Bin wanted to chase after her, but his main concern now was how to tackle Lu Cailian's pregnancy issue.
This matter not only affected his career but also Lu Cailian's safety.
Comforting Wu Jie could wait a couple of days.
Lying on the sofa, Chen Bin was at a loss about how to explain to Cheng Liusha.
Unknowingly, the night passed.
The next morning, Chen Bin arrived at the publishing group, exhausted.
The workload had piled up excessively here, and he needed to deal with it quickly.
Just as he finished handling all the docunts on his desk, he suddenly blacked out and collapsed from his chair.
When Chen Bin opened his eyes again, it was already late afternoon.
Looking around carefully, he found himself lying in a hospital bed, with Bao Shanshan sitting beside him.
"Minister Chen, you're finally awake!"
Seeing Chen Bin open his eyes, Bao Shanshan let out a sigh of relief.
"What... what happened?"
"You fainted in the office. I called for ergency services and brought you here."
Hearing this, Chen Bin suddenly beca tense, "What illness do I have?"
"Nothing serious. The doctor said it was due to overwork and excessive stress causing you to pass out."
"Oh, I see. Thank you so much for coming to take care of ."
"No need to thank ; as an assistant, it's my duty."
Ever since Wu Jie heard Shan Liqiang's advice, she had been contemplating how to get closer to Chen Bin.
Now that Chen Bin fell ill, it was naturally her opportunity to show her value.
Not long after, the doctor ca into the ward.
After conducting further examinations, he said Chen Bin's health had basically returned to normal, but he should stay in the hospital for two more days for observation.
Chen Bin was naturally willing to do this.
After all, health is the real asset. Without it, everything is lost.
However, to avoid worrying those won, he didn't tell anyone about being hospitalized.
During this ti, Bao Shanshan stayed by his side throughout.
Chen Bin felt a bit embarrassed and urged her to go back and rest, saying he could take care of himself.
However, Bao Shanshan refused to leave, saying staying at the hospital at least offered soone to chat with.
These words touched Chen Bin deeply.
While they were having dinner together that evening, Bao Shanshan's phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Ruan Guilan, she imdiately stepped out of the ward.
After answering, she asked impatiently.
"What's up?"
"It's the weekend tomorrow, co ho for a visit. Your brother graduated two months ago, and we need to figure out a way to get him a job."
"He can find a job himself; I'm not so high-ranking official and can't arrange anything for him."
"I know you can't, but maybe Gan Luo's father could help."
Since finding out that Gan Luo liked Bao Shanshan, Ruan Guilan had been waiting for this day.
After all, in her eyes, no one was more important than her son Bao Tianci.
"Mom, Gan Luo and I are not even close. How can I ask for such a favor?"
"Aren't you his girlfriend? You'll all be family in the future, you..."
Before Ruan Guilan could finish, Bao Shanshan hung up the phone.
Just as she was about to return to the ward, her phone rang again.
Without even looking, she hung up again.
But then, the phone rang once more.
This made Bao Shanshan suddenly irritated, and she answered angrily.
"Can you stop calling all the ti when you have nothing better to do? It's really annoying!"
"Oh, who upset our beautiful Miss Bao, making you so angry?"
Hearing Shan Liqiang's voice, Bao Shanshan quickly apologized.
"Minister Shan, I'm really sorry. I thought it was my mom calling again. By the way, do you need anything?"
"No, I was just casually checking in, wondering how work has been for you recently?"
Rembering how Shan Liqiang had always looked out for her, Bao Shanshan ntioned taking care of Chen Bin.
"Minister Chen is hospitalized? What happened, is it serious?"
"It's not a big deal, just overworked. So rest and he'll be fine. Minister Chen didn't want to ntion it, so please don't spread it."
"Don't worry, I'm not one to gossip. By the way, can you cook?"
"Not really, just simple ho-cooked als."
"Once Minister Chen is discharged, why don't you cook for him? He'll certainly be grateful."
"Won't that be inappropriate?"
To Bao Shanshan, she felt it was odd since she and Chen Bin weren't that close, inviting him over for a al.
But Shan Liqiang persuaded her, "You're his assistant, cooking for him is perfectly normal. Don't overthink it."
"Alright, I know what to do now."
The following morning, the doctor checked Chen Bin once more.
Upon ensuring there were no potential issues, Bao Shanshan went to handle his hospital discharge formalities.
As they exited the ward, she proactively asked, "Minister Chen, do you have any other plans for today?"
Chen Bin had so much to handle, he had no idea where to start.
So he simply shook his head, "It's the weekend, and I've got nothing much planned, why?"
"The doctor advised you to eat als on ti. Living alone, you might neglect that. Would you like to try my cooking?"
"Sure, let's do that."
After purchasing groceries at the supermarket, Bao Shanshan drove Chen Bin to her place.
It was an ordinary two-bedroom apartnt, nothing remarkable.
It paled in comparison to Chen Bin's place in Tianhai District.
After putting everything in the fridge, Bao Shanshan asked.
"Minister Chen, are you hungry? If you are, I can start cooking now."
"I'm not hungry; lunchti is fine."
Just then, Chen Bin's gaze unintentionally landed on a black bra on the sofa...
