Chapter 62: Chapter 62: No Cutting in Line! Chapter 62: Chapter 62: No Cutting in Line! Ye Chuyi quickly replied, “Let’s set a time to talk with them and try to lower the price a bit.”
Cong Ningyuan had some experience in handling such matters, “I’ve already scheduled negotiations for this morning, and I’ve also arranged a dinner for tonight. Do you want to come?”
“Um, I’ll go, but you’ll take the lead during both the negotiation and the dinner. I’ll be like Liang Xun, acting as your assistant and giving you appropriate reminders.”
Cong Ningyuan had a weakness—he was soft-hearted and not good at bargaining.
For projects involving smaller amounts, Ye Chuyi wouldn’t attend; she would just have a deputy general manager or someone else follow along, but with the large amount of money involved this time, she felt more reassured overseeing it personally.
Arriving at the hospital quickly, Ye Chuyi got out of the car but turned around to see Sheng Tingyuan also getting out of the car and even following her into the hospital.
She was somewhat surprised, “Why are you still following me? You can go back.”
“I will wait for you at the hospital today and take you home after you finish work.”
Ye Chuyi’s pupils shook, “What?! You’re going to wait in the hospital for me the whole day? Don’t you have work?”
Seeing her reaction as if she had been struck by lightning suddenly improved his mood; he had finally scored a point. She was always coming up with all sorts of tricks—today, he wanted to show her a trick or two.
Holding back a laugh, he said indifferently, “What, don’t you like me accompanying you to work?”
“I don’t like it!”
Ye Chuyi didn’t understand what sudden impulse had taken him; she turned her head and left, “Don’t follow me!”
What good husband follows his wife to work all the time?
She hadn’t even dared to tell her mentor that she was already married, planning to keep it a secret for now. If he came every day and accompanied her to work, wouldn’t that give them away?
However, Sheng Tingyuan obviously didn’t listen to her; he not only followed her into the hospital and the elevator but also into her office.
Ye Chuyi suspected that he was retaliating for her taking over his bedroom last night, so she took the opportunity to slip away from the hospital’s back door while going to the restroom.
Sheng Tingyuan had been waiting in her office for quite a while without seeing her return and went out to ask the bodyguard waiting at the door, “Where is she?”
The bodyguard knew whom he was asking about, “The young madam has left.”
“Left?”
Sheng Tingyuan chuckled in irritation—she had actually skipped work just to avoid him.
He had said that she was no serious doctor, very good at slacking and shirking duties—she was worth two in that regard. There was no way she was actually treating patients; the Ye Family must have spent a fortune for her to be a doctor at this hospital.
Fortunately, accompanying Ye Chuyi to work was not the real reason he had stayed here today.
He went to another floor and arrived at the director’s office to find An Huadong.
An Huadong was wearing reading glasses and examining patient files when he saw his office door being pushed open by two strangers and couldn’t help wondering, “Who are you?”
Sheng Tingyuan handed over his business card, “Director An, I am here hoping you could help me with a patient case.”
An Huadong took the card, glanced down, and read: President of Shengshi Group, Sheng Tingyuan.
He was quite astonished, “Isn’t Sheng Huai’an the President of Shengshi Group? Has he retired?”
“Not yet, but soon, so I had my business cards printed ahead of time.”
“The last time I saw him, he had come for an appointment; he’s only in his fifties—retiring so young?”
“He’s old, it’s time for him to rest. The group will be mine after that.”
“You’re Sheng Huai’an’s son?”
“Yes.”
“Tsck, what a filial son.”
After An Huadong’s sarcastic comment, he took off his reading glasses and casually tossed the business card into a drawer, “It doesn’t matter if you’re Sheng Huai’an’s son; everyone who comes here for treatment has a powerful background that’s daunting, but they all have to wait in line—no cutting in. If you want to see me, go register at the outpatient building.”
“The appointment’s already made, but it’s scheduled for six months from now, and my mother can’t wait that long.”
Sheng Tingyuan signaled his bodyguard, “Give the case file to Director An.”
The bodyguard immediately took the case file and x-rays out of the bag and placed them in front of An Huadong.
An Huadong glared angrily, “I said no cutting in line!”
“If you take a look at the case file, Shengshi Group will donate a hundred million to Dome Hospital.”
An Huadong put on his reading glasses again, “Hmm, let me take a look at the patient’s situation.”
