Su Ke'er had been feeling terrible recently.
The reason, naturally, wasn't just due to company affairs. After all, her uncle, Su Wei, had already told her that even though the company had a new chairman, she would still be responsible for everything, just as before. The new chairman had also made it clear that unless it was a matter of life and death for the company, she should proceed as usual.
If only that were true. You, Lin Mu, dismissed three managers on your first day, and in just two days, you took down a human resources manager and a deputy sales manager. Now, you've taken out a quarter of the company's middle managent. How is the company supposed to operate? Still, these were minor matters. Boheng Pharma was a large firm with plenty of talent, so promoting a few capable individuals wasn't difficult.
What depressed Su Ke'er the most was what Lin Mu had said to her on his first day.
How on earth did that guy figure it out?
The coffee in front of her had gone cold, and she had no appetite for the desserts she usually loved. Her abdon felt as if it were being twisted by a knife, and the pain was unbearable.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."
At that mont, a figure hurried over and sat down in front of Su Ke'er, taking a big gulp of coffee. Seeing that Su Ke'er wasn't speaking, Qin Yan grew puzzled. "Ke'er, what's wrong? You look so pale."
The newcor was Qin Yan, Qin Luoli's cousin.
Su Ke'er looked over at Qin Yan and said, "Yan, do you really think there are people in this world who can tell if soone is sick with just one glance?"
Qin Yan was taken aback. She pondered for a mont before saying, "If you'd asked before, I would have said no. But..."
"But what?" Su Ke'er's eyes lit up as she stared at Qin Yan.
A figure flashed through Qin Yan's mind. She said, "I just happen to know soone like that. Even the Divine Doctor admires him greatly and says his dical skills are unparalleled. He must possess that ability."
Su Ke'er suddenly grabbed Qin Yan's hand, her voice pleading, "Yan, you have to help this ti."
Qin Yan jumped in fright. "Ke'er, why is your hand so cold?"
Suddenly, Qin Yan did so quick math. Her expression changed slightly as she asked, "Could it be that you..."
Su Ke'er nodded, tears welling up on her eyelashes.
Qin Yan imdiately grew angry. "Wasn't the dicine I prescribed for you for a whole course of treatnt? Or are you saying you didn't take it at all?"
Su Ke'er looked down, not daring to et Qin Yan's eyes, and mumbled, "There have been a lot of issues at the company recently, so..."
"How can you be so careless with your own body?" Qin Yan said with frustration. "Your situation is different. I've told you ti and again to get enough rest, so why don't you listen?"
Su Ke'er felt wronged but knew that Qin Yan ant well. She pleaded, "Yan, I know I was wrong. But is there anything that can help ease the pain for now?"
After a mont of thought, Qin Yan said, "Ke'er, your condition is very unusual. If you had listened to , rested well, and taken your dicine on ti, you would have improved. But in your current state, you might really need to be hospitalized."
"No, I can't be hospitalized," Su Ke'er said imdiately. "The company has a mountain of problems right now. It can't function without ."
The thought of that bastard just washing his hands of all responsibility made Su Ke'er seethe with anger.
"You silly girl, what's more important, your job or your life?" Qin Yan couldn't help but scold. But when she thought of Su Ke'er's background, her expression softened with sympathy.
She and Su Ke'er had t in the hospital. Qin Yan had just graduated and happened to see Su Ke'er coming in for a check-up. As a fellow woman, learning about Su Ke'er's problem had filled her with empathy and heartache. In their subsequent encounters, she repeatedly urged Su Ke'er to co to the hospital for regular check-ups. But Su Ke'er, whether out of shyness or because she was too busy with work, rarely ca. It wasn't until Qin Yan got fed up one day that she went directly to Su Ke'er's ho, only to find her unconscious and covered in blood.
That incident had terrified Qin Yan.
From that day on, Su Ke'er treated Qin Yan as her savior. Whenever they had free ti, they would get together for coffee or go shopping.
Seeing Su Ke'er's current state, Qin Yan knew exactly what was happening. Her period had co again, and judging by her pain, the situation looked bleak.
"Even if you don't go to the hospital, you still need regular check-ups, right?" Qin Yan said.
Su Ke'er quickly responded, "Yan, don't you know a Divine Doctor with unparalleled dical skills? Could you introduce ? Please, just do this for ."
Qin Yan hesitated for a mont before nodding. "Alright, but I can't guarantee he'll agree."
Su Ke'er bead. "It's fine. Even if he doesn't, I'll rember your kindness, Yan."
"AH!"
Qin Yan had been about to suggest rescheduling when she heard Su Ke'er cry out. She saw her clutching her abdon, her expression one of agony, and knew at once what had happened.
"Ke'er, quickly, I'll take you to the restroom."
At that point, Su Ke'er's pants already seed to be stained red. Her face was crimson with sha, yet it couldn't hide her underlying pallor.
No longer caring about appearances, Qin Yan imdiately took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Lin Mu, co to the Starry Sky Cafe, it's urgent!"
After hanging up, Qin Yan supported Su Ke'er and quickly asked a server for a private room to use.
When Lin Mu received Qin Yan's call, he was having dinner with Qin Luoli.
"What happened?" Qin Luoli asked.
"I don't know, my cousin didn't say," Lin Mu replied indifferently.
Qin Luoli put down her utensils. "It might be an ergency. You should go take a look. I'll head to the company."
After thinking it over, Lin Mu said, "Alright."
"Wait, I'll drive you."
After dropping Lin Mu off, Qin Luoli straightened his clothes. "Speak nicely when you see my cousin. Don't act like you're enemies."
"Got it," Lin Mu replied, twisting his neck a bit awkwardly.
Qin Luoli smiled, then suddenly leaned in and kissed his forehead. "Go on. Co back early tonight, I'll wait for you for dinner."
Then, Qin Luoli stepped on the gas and sped away.
Lin Mu stood frozen for a mont, subconsciously touching his forehead. Recalling her words, he broke into a slight smile.
This feeling isn't too bad.
Guided by a server, Lin Mu arrived at a private room. He pushed the door open and walked in.
The mont he entered, Lin Mu's body jolted. He instinctively took two steps back and shut the door. Not long after, a voice tinged with embarrassnt and annoyance ca from inside, "Get in here!"
