Qiao Pan’er saw the online broadcast of the incident at Yueming Hall. So, when Assistant You went to look for Yu Gangan, she had already cracked open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
After all, any smart person would know what to do and Yu Gangan looked like a smart person. There was no way she would reject Assistant You’s offer.
But, before Assistant You returned, Lin Jiayu arrived for a visit.
With a smile, Qiao Pan’er hooked her arm affectionately around Lin Jiayu’s arm, “Jiayu, why are you here? Do you want to have afternoon tea with me? I was planning to look for you in the next few days.”
However, Lin Jiayu did not beat around the bush. As soon as she sat down, she asked, “What can I do to stop you from buying the clinic?”
Qiao Pan’er was a little surprised. “Did Yu Gangan ask you to speak to me?” she questioned.
“No,” Lin Jiayu shook her head.
But, Qiao Pan’er did not believe her. She was sure Lin Jiayu was bewitched by Yu Gangan. So, with a dull smile, she said, “I don’t mean to criticize you, but what kind of friend do you have? I already told her that I’d show you face and give her a satisfactory price. Why did she still use you?”
“She won’t be selling the clinic.”
“But I’m definitely buying it.”
“Why Yueming Hall?”
“You are my best friend, so I’ll be straightforward with you, Yueming Hall is the proposed site of Baiyang City’s new aged healthcare base. In the past two years, private hospitals have been severely criticized. The Qiao Family appears successful on the surface, but we are actually in a bad condition and there are issues with our finances. My entire family has placed all their hope on this project. So, I have to buy this clinic to make it possible.”
If it was someone else, Qiao Pan’er wouldn’t have revealed a thing. But, Lin Jiayu’s mother was the deputy mayor, so she was an exception.
Even if she didn’t reveal anything, Lin Jiayu would have figured out the reason as soon as she asked her mother. So, it was better for her to get on Lin Jiayu’s good side while she still could.
Lin Jiayu was a little surprised. After a short pause, she said, “I promised her that I wouldn’t let anything happen to her clinic. It’s the payment for my medical treatment. So, I will do my best to help her.”
Qiao Pan’er furrowed her brows, “Jiayu, what do you mean by this?”
Her voice then turned a little cold, “Her reputation already stinks along with the clinic. If you really want what’s best for her, you should convince her to sell the clinic. It’s a win-win situation.”
Lin Jiayu did not say anything else. After sitting for a little while, she got up and left.
After she left, Qiao Pan’er’s expression sunk.
Between her and Yu Gangan, she refused to believe that Lin Jiayu would choose Yu Gangan. After all, she and Lin Jiayu were the same type of people.
Besides, this healthcare base project involved Baiyang City. If Qiao Pan’er succeeded at securing it, Lin Jiayu’s mother would also benefit from it.
Yu Gangan, on the other hand…she was just a mere doctor of Chinese medicine. So what if she managed to cure Lin Jiayu, didn’t Yu Gangan just do it for money?
She was sure that Lin Jiayu understood this.
At that moment, Qiao Pan’er’s phone suddenly started ringing.
Qiao Pan’er picked up the phone and heard her assistant’s voice on the other end. He sounded both disappointed and angry, “Miss Qiao, she rejected our offer again.”
“Didn’t you tell her what the consequences would be?” Who did Yu Gangan think she was. She was asking to be taught a lesson.
“Yes, I told her, but she still refused. She was quite firm on her decision, just like the other day. She doesn’t know what’s good for her,” Assistant You said.
Qiao Pan’er let out a cold laugh, “She probably expects Lin Jiayu to help her. It seems, we need to increase our bet and let her know that Lin Jiayu can’t help!”
She didn’t care, she was definitely getting the clinic!!
