On the driver’s seat, the man let out a dark, cold laugh, his eyes turning frosty as he stared intently at the figure that was getting farther away.
It was only after the figure entered the building unit that he picked up the mobile phone beside him and dialed out:
"Cancel Gu Xiyue’s endorsement!"
The person on the other end of the phone was shocked and cursed:
"Brother, are you crazy?"
Yes, this person was Jiang Huai, Jiang Ye’s biological younger brother and the current President of Jiang Group, commonly called Younger President Jiang.
But in front of his brother, Younger President Jiang had no dignity to speak of and was especially weak.
"If I tell you to cancel it, just cancel it. Why so much nonsense?"
Can this be called nonsense?
On the phone, Jiang Huai frantically grabbed his hair:
"Brother, my dear brother, do you know what will happen with Grandpa once it’s canceled?
And, she’s the global leading brand ambassador, it was only announced a few days ago!
If we cancel now, the loss won’t be a small amount, and we’ll have to pay a penalty too!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI(F)ire.net
As a businessman, in business matters, Jiang Huai had never made such a losing deal.
Jiang Ye’s tone remained very calm:
"I’ll talk to Grandpa about it. As for the losses, I’ll compensate you privately!"
Plainly put, there was simply no room for tact!
Jiang Huai clicked his tongue twice:
"I’m saying, brother, what did Actress Gu do to offend you so much that you want to go this hard on her?"
Jiang Ye’s lips curved slightly, and those familiar with him could definitely tell that this smile carried a trace of danger.
The specifics were still unclear to Jiang Ye, but one thing was certain: Gu Xiyue must have done something!
Otherwise, that woman wouldn’t have brought it up several times.
Perhaps Lu Jing hadn’t even realized this problem, but Jiang Ye noticed it right away.
And, having known each other since they were kids, how could Jiang Ye not understand that girl’s character?
"Take care of your business, and keep your mouth shut!"
With that, he hung up the phone directly.
At the hospital’s family building, the white Jeep hadn’t started at all throughout the night, just sitting there.
It was only around six in the morning that the car finally slowly drove away.
When the car left, only a ground covered with cigarette butts could be seen.
At 7:20, Lu Jing’s figure appeared on time under the building unit.
From the family building to the hospital only took about three to four minutes, and he could also buy some breakfast by the roadside.
Lu Jing bought a freshly fried dough stick and a cup of soy milk, eating as he walked toward the hospital.
Along the way, he greeted many colleagues he encountered.
Ten minutes later, Lu Jing arrived at the Orthopedics department.
After changing into his clothes, putting on a white coat, mask, and picking up his stethoscope, he went to check on his patients as usual.
"Doctor Lu, good morning."
"Good morning, how are you feeling?"
"Very good, it’s almost healed. I think I might be discharged soon, right?"
"That’s great, get well soon!"
After making his rounds, he finally reached the last patient room.
Lu Jing slowed down his pace, but no matter how slow, he would get there eventually.
He knocked twice on the door.
Inside the patient room, Xingchen’s mother was feeding him breakfast.
"Phew, cough cough, Doctor Lu!" He choked seriously.
Lu Jing had already noticed the bed by the door was neatly arranged, indicating it hadn’t been used for a long time.
Xingchen waved his hand at his mother and coughed twice before saying to Lu Jing:
"Doctor Lu, Captain Jiang isn’t coming today!"
