The next day, Fang Yuchen had someone look up if Fang Yiming had reported any procurement of medicinal herbs. While he waited, he went to the hospital Li Peng was at again. “Thanks to the doctors’ efforts, his condition is improving.” The nurse said. This very well may have been the only piece of good news that Fang Yuchen had received in these past two days. He looked at Li Peng who was lying in the sick bed before he asked, “When will he wake up?” “The doctor didn’t say. If you’d like to know, you can ask him yourself.” Therefore, Fang Yuchen went to look for Li Peng’s attending physician. When he spoke of his intentions, the doctor turned silent. “What’s wrong?” Fang Yuchen asked curiously. The doctor hesitated before he said, “The patient was not afflicted by simple food poisoning.” Fang Yuchen frowned. “What do you mean, is it something more complicated than food poisoning?” “I’ll speak plainly. He was poisoned.” “Poisoned?” Fang Yuchen thought he had mishe
Fu Jingyun had joined Bo Gelian’s research facility for quite some time now. However he had yet to come into contact with the core research facility. Most times, he was doing odd jobs. “My professor wants you to clean up the room next door.” Charles instructed Fu Jingyun in a haughty tone. Fu Jingyun did not look up and pretended not to hear him. He continued to work on his research. “Hey!” Charles raised his voice greatly. “Are you deaf? Did you not hear what I told you?” His voice attracted the attention of others, and they all turned to look. Fu Jingyun took off his gloves deliberately before he looked up. He had a stony face. “I’m a researcher, not a janitor. Tell someone else to clean up.” “Ah.” Charles laughed coldly, and gave Fu Jingyun a disdainful look. “Don’t get so haughty. You’re just a handyman, what do you mean researcher. What a joke.” Fu Jingyun clenched his fist, his handsome face grew tense. A surge of anger filling his chest. “Did you really think t
“Fu Jingyun, let me go!” Catalina forcefully tried to push Fu Jingyun’s hand away, but she could not overcome the strength difference between man and woman. She could only let her breathing become more and more constricted. Just as she thought she was about to die, Fu Jingyun finally let her go. “Cough, cough!” Catalina kept on coughing, until she recovered. She then looked up and glared at Fu Jingyun. “Have you gone mad?” “I want to see Bo Gelian.” Fu Jingyun’s sudden request stunned Catalina. “You want to see Bo Gelian?” “In the beginning when I agreed to join the research facility, I thought he trusted me. However it looks like he doesn’t trust me, and he trusts my abilities even less.” He could not continue like this anymore. He needed to find a way to get into the core research as soon as possible, if not the time left for Jiang Sese would get shorter and shorter. His heart would fill with annoyance and regret when he remembered that Jiang Sese’s condition was not
“Do you think Yuchen likes Yuanyuan?” Jiang Sese had asked Jin Fengchen as soon as they returned to their room. Jin Fengchen laughed helplessly. “How would I know?” Jiang Sese pouted. “That’s true, how would a man like you know such things.” She lay on the bed and stared into the ceiling. “Honestly, I think they’re quite suited for each other.” “You want to get them together?” Jin Fengchen asked. Jiang Sese rolled over to lie on her side. She held her head up on one arm while her gaze fell on Jin Fengchen’s body. She then said impatiently, “Perhaps. My mom and aunty Shang Ying have been asking me to introduce someone to my cousin.” “Do you really think they’re suited for each other?” “Of course.” Jiang Sese sat up. “No matter if it’s family or appearance, or any other factor, they’re very much suited for each other. Furthermore they don’t need to worry about differences in socio-economic backgrounds.” When she said this, she thought about herself and Jin Fengchen an
“The professional capabilities of the others in the research facility are comparable to yours.” The meaning behind those words was that he was not the most special person in the lab. Bo Gelian watched Fu Jingyun and the corners of his lips curled into a smile of incomprehensible meaning. “Is that so?” Fu Jingyun smiled, but it was very snide. “If they’re so good, why has there been no developments in the research after such a long while?” Bo Gelian’s eyes narrowed. “Fu, your words are not pleasant to hear.” “I can’t help it. I like to speak the truth.” In order to join the core research, Fu Jingyun was really going all out. It was of no consequence, even if he upset Bo Gelian. What he spoke of was what Bo Gelian worried about the most. Bo Gelian tapped his finger from time to time on the table. There was a dark cloud over his face, and his lips were pursed into a thin, straight line. It was very clear that his mood was terrible. Fu Jingyun was not worried. He took a
That night, when Fang Yuchen was done with work, he rushed to a French restaurant for his appointment. Shangguan Yuan had brought up meeting the persons-in-charge from all three companies to discuss business. The time was set for tonight. Fang Yuchen had more work for the day, and by the time he was done, it was late. He had rushed over there to find Shangguan Yuan waiting. “I’m sorry for being late.” Fang Yuchen apologized in embarrassment. His nervous demeanor was completely unbefitting of a conglomerate president. “It’s fine. I just arrived myself.” Shangguan Yuan smiled, before she looked behind Fang Yuchen. “Is Chairman Jin not with you?” “He’s returned to Jin City,” Fang Yuchen answered as he took a seat, not noticing the surprise and disappointment that flashed in Shangguan Yuan’s eyes when she heard the answer. “It’s my treat today, please order whatever you like.” Fang Yuchen smiled warmly as he looked at her. Shangguan Yuan smiled in return before she looked
After that, Jin Fengchen and Jin Fengyao went to the study. Meanwhile, Jiang Sese and Madam Jin chatted for a while before going upstairs to rest. The next morning, Jiang Sese was woken up by the two children. The sun had just risen when they came running into the room, trying to drag her and Jin Fengchen out of bed. “Daddy, Mommy, the kindergarten has a sports day today. Wake up!” Tiantian’s voice rang in Jiang Sese’s ears. In the past, she had found it affectionate and cute, but currently she was still sleepy and she found it rather annoying. She shut her eyes and asked wearily, “What sports day?” “A parent-child sports day,” Xiaobao replied. “Mommy, wake up.” Tiantian shook Jiang Sese’s hand. Jin Fengchen could tell that Jiang Sese was still tired. He said to Tiantian gently, “Tiantian, go down and have breakfast with your brother first. Let your Mommy sleep a while more.” “No! I want Mommy to go to the sports day with me.” Tiantian was very adamant. “I’ll go w
Jin Fengchen and Jiang Sese stayed at the hospital with Xiaobao for quite some time. After that, Jin Fengchen received a call from the office and had to leave.Jiang Sese stayed back with the child. After she called home to explain the situation, she asked Madam Jin to pass the phone to Tiantian.“Baby, Mommy may not be able to accompany you to school.”Tiantian, who up until that morning, was still bugging Jiang Sese to accompany her to school, suddenly replied very sensibly, “I know Mommy needs to be with Brother, so Grandma will accompany me.”Hearing this, Jiang Sese was moved. “You are the best, Baby.”“Is Brother okay, Mommy?” asked Tiantian.“He’s fine. He just needs to stay in the hospital for a few days.”“Can I visit him after school?”“Of course you can.”Jiang Sese promised Tiantian that she would pick her up after school and take her to the hospital to see her brother.Jiang Sese then hung up after saying goodbye.She turned to look at the sleeping Xiaobao.She
