The real master of the hospital director wasn’t someone else; it was precisely Xiao Yebai. Absolutely no one could have thought of that, absolutely none.
Why couldn’t anyone think of it? Because it seemed that all those people who the hospital director openly pleased were Xiao Yebai’s rivals, each and every one of them.
The hospital director had basically never had any contact with Xiao Yebai. Everyone only knew that Tang Sili, who might replace the hospital director in the future, was Xiao Yebai’s man.
Connecting all these reasons together, who could have thought that the hospital director was Xiao Yebai’s man?
On the other end of the phone, the hospital director’s tone was exceedingly sycophantic, completely like a groveling dog, saying, "Young Master, I heard that you were hurt—"
Yebai’s arm was hung conspicuously in front of his chest. According to what Tang Sili had said, for safety, it needed to be hung for about ten days. Of course, what Yebai really thought was that, no matter what, he needed to hang on to this badge of honorable injury to earn more pity from his wife, and from his mother-in-law at his mother-in-law’s house. Hanging it for another half a month would pose no problem at all.
"How many days have I been hurt now, and you only come to visit me now?"
The boss said that, scaring the hospital director half to death, who responded, "I originally planned to come visit the young master in person with gifts, but, doesn’t the young master dislike seeing me?"
"That’s true, then why are you suddenly calling me?"
The hospital director was on the verge of tears. This crazy, crazy boss, why had he chosen this person as his boss back then? It was a masochistic constitution; each phone call brought not light abuse by Yebai’s sharp tongue.
"Reporting to the young master," the hospital director cleared his throat, intending to bolster his masochistic spirit, saying, "Actually, it’s , Young Master, I wanted to give you an update on a patient’s situation in the hospital—" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥
The patient referred to, naturally, was Xiao Jianming, who lay on the hospital bed, unable to move.
Xiao Yebai’s eyes narrowed slightly, his tone casual, "Didn’t I say last time? Let him lie down as long as he likes."
After hearing this, the hospital director was again completely at a loss. What did ’let him lie down as long as he likes’ mean? In reality, Xiao Jianming should have woken up already, if it weren’t for the medication they used.
"If he likes playing dead so much, let him continue."
Hearing Xiao Yebai say this, the hospital director felt as if he found a lifeline, but still, he couldn’t be certain how long Xiao Jianming should lie down; there had to be a time limit, right?
The hospital director squeezed out his words, sounding circumspect, "How long does the young master think he needs to keep pretending?"
"You ask him, what use is there in asking me?"
The hospital director just wanted to smash his head against a wall.
Old San Zhang Sanfeng, who was nearby, couldn’t contain his laughter, with the corners of his mouth turned up, barely holding back. It should be said that he liked his brother’s way of speaking the most.
Anyone who wasn’t truly exceptionally smart couldn’t follow a boss like Xiao Yebai; otherwise, they might as well dash their head against a wall and be done with it, like the hospital director was contemplating just now.
Luckily, this hospital director was definitely an overly clever person; such a thought was nothing but a fleeting impulse. The hospital director’s intelligence showed in the fact that he could really act, act to the point where the whole world was oblivious.
That was exactly why Xiao Yebai had taken a liking to this man.
"You’ve never needed to ask for my opinion before; you’ve always been good at listening to other people’s words,"
The boss said that, and it made sense. If he hadn’t listened to others very well, how could he have seemed like someone from the other camp, and thus protect Xiao Yebai? After all, Tang Sili was in the open and he was in the shadows, together forming a double safety valve. Some actions were carried out by Tang Sili in the light. Some skullduggeries were carried out by him in the dark. Therefore, the truly intelligent person was the boss in front of him.
