Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Isn’t That Sister?
Chi Gui answered the phone, and immediately a whining complaint came from the other end, “Boss!! Why do you never call me first!! You know I’ve been waiting for you to contact me until my hair turns white…”
“I’m hanging up if it’s nothing important,” Chi Gui replied coldly.
“No, no, no…” the other person quickly said, “I’m talking about serious business! Today, the Angel Foundation received a request for help from a special poverty-stricken patient. See if you want to fund it.”
“Send the information to my email, I’ll reply later,” Chi Gui said.
The Angel Foundation was a charity she established after making money to specifically aid impoverished patients, which had been operating for over three years now.
However, Chi Gui was too busy to handle everything, so she handed over the management of both the foundation and the Hai Dou company to Shen Yun, only turning to her for special cases that even Shen Yun couldn’t decide on.
The caller was Shen Yun.
After Shen Yun sent over the information, he added, “By the way, the money you’ve earned this year, don’t invest it in the foundation anymore, keep it for yourself. The company is growing bigger and bigger and already invests a huge amount into the foundation every year, which is totally enough.”
Chi Gui calmly responded, “I currently have enough money. We’ll see when it’s insufficient.”
Although the company contributed a lot of money to the foundation each year, there were too many patients nationwide needing support and no matter how much money they had, it was never enough.
Besides, she wasn’t much for material pursuits; keeping money unused seemed less useful than spending it to help those who genuinely needed it.
And after all, she had started the foundation because she wanted to; no matter what the company did, she should do her best.
Shen Yun sighed, “By the time you run out of money, it might be the end of the world!”
He knew that once Chi Gui made up her mind, it was hard to persuade her otherwise, so he didn’t say more but insisted, “Anyway, make sure to contact me more often! If we don’t keep in touch, our friendship might fade! Then, if some beauty from a rival company tries to seduce me, I might just defect, taking all your company’s assets with me!”
Chi Gui: “…Oh. I’ll pay more attention next time.”
Shen Yun: “It’s not about paying attention, it is a must!”
He reluctantly hung up the phone.
Holding her phone, she couldn’t help but reflect: Was she truly being indifferent towards her partner?
Shen Yun, a fine elite who had studied abroad, how had he started speaking so oddly after not seeing each other for half a year?
Next time she had a chance… she decided to visit him in Hai Dou personally… Newest update provided by NovєlFіre.net
Just then, Fu Si came in with some hot water. Seeing Chi Gui sitting on the bed, phone in hand and deep in thought, his eyes softened.
Without asking anything, he gave the hot water to Chi Gui, “Won’t you rest for another night?”
Chi Gui slowly drank the hot water, “I can rest better at home.”
As she was speaking, Fu Si’s long fingers suddenly reached out and lightly touched her forehead.
Fu Si had already nonchalantly withdrawn his hand, “Looks good, the fever has gone down. Then, let’s go home.”
Fu Si handed over a scarf and hat that Qin Cheng had bought to Chi Gui, then draped his own coat over her, wrapping her up tightly.
Chi Gui slightly furrowed her brow, “It’s hot.”
“You just had a fever, don’t catch a chill,” Fu Si explained.
After speaking, he couldn’t help laughing to himself.
He had never been so caring and attentive even to his own parents.
But with Chi Gui, it just came naturally, and he even found it somewhat… enjoyable?
The two of them went downstairs together.
Fu Si holding the bill for the medicine: “You sit there and wait for me, I’m going to pay the medical bill.”
Chi Gui, having lain down all afternoon, didn’t want to sit and chose to lean against the wall in the hospital lobby instead.
As the doctor walked with Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Yan toward the lobby, he smiled and said, “Mrs. Chi, both you and Miss Chi are very healthy.”
Zhao Yuexiu smiled and exchanged a few polite words with the doctor before preparing to leave.
Chi Yan suddenly seemed puzzled and said, “Isn’t that my sister? Why is she in the hospital? And… wearing men’s clothes…”
