He Zhichu was furious. He clenched his fists and coughed. He said, “Mr. Peter, don’t go too far. You’re a diplomat from the Soviet Union. Although I know you’re doing this to repay the favor of saving your life, to outsiders, you’re bribing. This will make it difficult for lawyer Gu to carry out her work in the future.”
This was a more dignified reason.
As a diplomat, if he gave Gu Nianzhi a house, it was very likely that Gu Nianzhi would enter the country’s special surveillance list, in case she became the target of foreign spies.
The Committee of State Security (KGB) was the other identity of the Vice Consul, Peter.
The Ace of the Far East who had been eager to “buy, buy, buy” for Gu Nianzhi didn’t say anything now.
He Zhichu felt as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. His gleaming almond-shaped eyes sparkled slightly, and his mood improved slightly.
Secretary Lin, who was watching from the side, had her mouth agape. She couldn’t close it at all.
What kind of operation was this?
Were these two handsome men competing to see who was richer?
Even if they were competing, couldn’t they wait for lawyer Gu to wake up before competing?
She was sleeping so soundly right now. Even if they were competing, lawyer Gu wouldn’t know.
This was what it meant to flirt with a blind people. It was unnecessary, unnecessary!
Secretary Lin stole a glance at Lu Yuan.
Her big boss still had a warm smile on his face. Although he was old, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes made his smile even more charming.
As a mature woman, she still admired the looks of her boss more.
Secretary Lin retracted her gaze in admiration.
Fortunately, she knew her own limits and had her own husband and children. If she had met such a handsome boss when she was unmarried, she could not even guarantee that she would not fall head over heels for him.
However, it was also strange that the male and female secretaries that this boss recruited were all married and had children. They were all over 30 years old.
Whether they were young or old, he would not recruit unmarried men and women. This was also very willful.
Lu Yuan smiled and waited for He Zhichu and the deputy consul from the Soviet Union, Peter, to finish their discussion before giving his opinion. “Don’t worry, let’s take a look at the house first.”
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the place secretary Lin had told them to rent the house.
He Zhichu looked out of the window and raised his eyebrows. “Secretary Lin is amazing. She can even rent a house in the Western District.”
The Western District of C City was where the main government departments were located. The residential area was not big and the houses were especially expensive. However, the residential area was very good. Moreover, the military headquarters was also located in the Western District.
He Zhichu had a house assigned to the military headquarters here, but he had almost never lived here before.
The residential area they were facing now was a middle-priced residential area in the Western District.
Of course, it was only a middle-priced residential area in the Western District. If they were to take it elsewhere, it would definitely be a high-priced house.
Secretary Lin led the way for them. “It’s here. Building B has a 36-story Penthouse with a duplex structure. There’s also a semi-enclosed small garden on the top floor, so it’s two and a half stories. The area inside the mansion isn’t particularly large. The two stories have a total of more than 600 square meters, and there are more than a dozen rooms.”
This kind of top-floor mansion had their own private elevator. It was very spacious and did not need to be crowded with people.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi’s mobile hospital bed could be pushed directly into the elevator and sent to the elevator entrance on the top floor smoothly and quickly.
For the top-floor mansion, this was a private elevator.
Secretary Lin opened the door of the mansion with the key card. She saw two circular pillars and almost an entire wall of glass windows.
The living room was spacious. Both floors were opened, and the ceiling was particularly high. A silver-white chandelier in the post-modern style hung down from the ceiling. The space, almost merging with the skyline outside the window, was even more vast.
Two beige sofas in the post-modern style were placed opposite each other. The edges of the sofas were round. There was no sense of tidiness in them. They looked very casual and relaxing.
There was a grand piano in one corner of the living room. Because the living room was very large, this grand grand piano did not look out of place in the corner of the room.
The room was covered with a thick carpet, and the sharp corners of the furniture were carefully wrapped with decorations.
The entire environment was harmonious and cozy, but it was also very stylish. Not only did it suit Gu Nianzhi’s usual taste, but the furniture here was also very suitable for recovering from her injuries.
He Zhichu quickly looked around the living room and turned to look at Secretary Lin. “Secretary Lin, it’s amazing that you could find such a good house in such a short time.”
Secretary Lin laughed so hard that she could barely keep her eyes open. “No, no, no. You flatter me, Young Master He. This is also because CEO Lu has a lot of face. I just released the news that CEO Lu wants to rent a house, and a few friends who work as real estate agents immediately contacted me and said that they have a suitable house. I asked CEO Lu if he was interested.”
“I could barely pick among the many choices, but when I saw this house, I immediately knew that it was this one.”
He Zhichu nodded. “You’ve indeed put in a lot of effort.”
He and the Ace of the Far East pushed Gu Nianzhi’s mobile bed to a guest room next to the living room on the first floor.
Secretary Lin led them in. She said, “Although this house is a guest room, it’s very large. It’s a small suite. Look, the room inside is a bedroom with a moon door in the middle. Outside is a living room and the bathroom is inside the bedroom. Lawyer Gu will be recuperating here. She doesn’t need to go up and down the stairs on a daily basis. It will be very convenient.”
He Zhichu walked around the room a few times and nodded. “Not bad. The place is big. You can even put medical equipment here.”
“Oh, by the way, Young Master He, shouldn’t you hurry and get the medical equipment here?” The Ace of the Far East fiddled with his phone. “Lawyer Gu’s condition needs to be monitored by these medical equipment.”
He Zhichu glanced at him, picked up his phone, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. He made a call and asked someone to get the medical equipment over here.
Gu Nianzhi was still recovering, so she didn’t need much medical equipment. However, she definitely needed a ventilator, as well as an electrocardiogram and an electroencephalogram.
He Zhichu simply got someone to get the equipment list for the intensive care unit of the hospital and used the equipment listed on the list.
While He Zhichu was making a call in the living room, Secretary Lin also received a few calls.
She had a proper job, and wasn’t a secretary who took care of her boss’ personal life.
“CEO Lu, a few representatives from several companies are here and want to talk to us. I want to go back to the company to take a look.” Secretary Lin sent the information of those companies to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan looked at them casually and said, “Then you go back to the company and find Old Li to meet them with you.”
Old Li was Lu Yuan’s other male secretary.
The Lu Corporation was a large company with more than five thousand employees in the world.
Lu Yuan also had many secretaries and had a secretarial group. Someone once suggested to choose a secretary general out of these dozen or so secretaries.
However, Lu Yuan did not like secretaries forming a group. He also did not like a leader among the secretaries who could manage the other secretaries. Hence, his secretarial group did not have the position of secretary general.
His secretaries had their own responsibilities and worked together, but they only listened to him.
Secretary Lin picked up her briefcase and said, “President Lu, I’m leaving now.”
Lu Yuan waved his hand. “Let’s go. When you see those people, Please apologize on my behalf.”
Secretary Lin pursed her lips into a smile. “President Lu, you’re so funny.”
After she left, there were only Lu Yuan, He Zhichu, and the Ace of the Far East in the huge penthouse.
He Zhichu finished his call and saw Lu Yuan bending over to cover Gu Nianzhi with a blanket.
He walked over as if nothing had happened and took the blanket from Lu Yuan. “CEO Lu, you’re so busy, so I won’t trouble you.”
Lu Yuan straightened his back in amusement. “Young Master He, you’re even jealous of me? Don’t you see how old I am? I’m not interested in these young girls.”
He Zhichu blushed slightly. He thought to himself, what right do I have to be jealous?
It was just so that Gu Nianzhi could recuperate properly and not cause unnecessary trouble.
Lu Yuan was an outsider, so he could not let him know about Nianzhi’s special constitution.
He Zhichu planned to stay behind to take care of Gu Nianzhi.
After covering Gu Nianzhi with the blanket, He Zhichu sat down by her bed and said, “You can leave if you have something to do. I’ll stay here and take care of her for a few days.”
The Ace of the Far East refused to leave. “I’ll stay here and take care of her until she recovers.”
“I’ll let you know when she recovers. You don’t have to stay here.” He Zhichu laughed coldly. The Committee of State Security (KGB) must not know that Nianzhi had a special constitution.
The Far East Ace refused to back down. His voice was extremely cold, “Aren’t you the one who should be leaving? Lawyer Gu suffered so much to save me, so it’s only right for me to stay here with her. As for Young Master He, you’re so busy with your official duties. How can you have time to take care of the patient?”
“You’re free?” He Zhichu’s almond-shaped eyes sparkled. “Can the staff of your consulate do nothing and skip work all day?”
“I applied for a month’s leave.” The Ace of the Far East stopped He Zhichu from speaking.
He Zhichu frowned. He thought to himself, this guy really came prepared. He also wanted to pursue Nianzhi?
Was it possible that the same person from both sides liked the same person?
He Zhichu looked at Lu Yuan in confusion.
Lu Yuan also had a headache. In this situation, there was nothing he could do. He could only wait for Nianzhi to wake up again and let her make the decision.
“Keep your voices down. Lawyer Gu is still resting,” Lu Yuan reminded them.
In the end, when He Zhichu and Ace of the Far East were arguing, Gu Nianzhi did not wake up. As soon as Lu Yuan asked them to keep their voices down, Gu Nianzhi woke up.
Lu Yuan: “…”
He had really worried for nothing.
..
At this moment, Qin Yaoguang, whose face was wrapped in gauze, was throwing a tantrum in ward a of the intensive care unit on the sixteenth floor of City H’s West Camp Hospital.
“Where is she? Where did she go? !”
“Director Qin, Young Master He sent your daughter away.”
“Sent her away? ! Doesn’t he want her to live? !”Qin Yaoguang was very surprised. “Are you sure you weren’t seeing things? !”
In front of Qin Yaoguang, the director of the Department of Cardiac Surgery of the Western Camp Hospital was scolded harshly.
Although they were not in the same system, one was a public hospital, and the other was a private hospital, the scale of the Qin private hospital was almost the same as a public hospital. Moreover, from doctors to equipment, it was said that the conditions of private hospitals were better than public hospitals. Therefore, public hospitals had been losing market share.
So the Director of the Department of Cardiac Surgery of public hospitals could only yield in front of the Director of the largest private hospital.
Because it might not be long before doctors from public hospitals like them had to go to private hospitals to earn a living.
“… Director Qin, it was really Young Master He who sent her away,” the Director of the Department of cardiac surgery said carefully. The expression on his face was extremely obsequious. “And your daughter has already woken up. She’s fine. Don’t worry.”
“What? ! She’s awake? ! She’s really fine? !” Qin Yaoguang’s expression suddenly changed. She grabbed the collar of the director of the Department of Cardiology’s white coat and said anxiously, “Where are your surgical records? And all the data in this ward, give them to me!”
“Director… Director Qin, our hospital was hacked a few hours ago. Your daughter’s surgical records and all the data in this ward have been erased!” The Director of the Department of Cardiology at Xi Ying Hospital’s face was ashen, as if he had lost his mother.
“I was worried for nothing! — Investigate immediately! Find out where Gu Nianzhi went!” Qin Yaoguang stomped her feet and pushed the director of the Department of Cardiac Surgery of West Camp Hospital away. She took out her phone and gave the order as she ran out like a gust of wind.
