Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "I don’t quite understand your words, why should we be at odds?"
Feng Zhongya said, "I’ve already investigated thoroughly, that Ji Jiajia has worked at Changshan Hospital for a while now, which you cannot deny."
Xu Chunliang said, "It seems like you’ve got the wrong person, my current workplace is in Dongzhou City’s Infectious Disease Hospital, not Changshan Hospital. You should take Changshan Hospital’s issues to them, not to me."
Feng Zhongya laughed, "Isn’t it obvious? Who doesn’t know that you have shares in Changshan Hospital?"
Xu Chunliang looked at Feng Zhongya, "You need to be responsible for your words. Even if I have some connections with Changshan Hospital, I don’t have shares there. My grandfather is a shareholder, do you understand?"
"Isn’t that the same thing? There are many cases of holding shares on behalf of others. You shouldn’t sacrifice our Changxing Hospital’s interests just to protect Changshan Hospital. Today’s incident has already caused a bad social impact on us. You should know that our hospital is innocent. Even if you don’t consider past relationships, you should speak out the truth with some justice and conscience, and restore Changxing Hospital’s reputation."
Xu Chunliang sneered, "Who do you think lacks conscience? Feng Zhongya, don’t think I don’t know your background. Didn’t you sell out Da Heng’s interests to worm your way into Huayuan Group back then?"
"You..."
"What do you mean ’you’! Wasn’t it you who orchestrated Dong Changhao being beaten by a group of seafood merchants on Weishan Island back then?"
Feng Zhongya’s face turned ugly, "You... you’re slandering."
Xu Chunliang said, "I have evidence on hand. You dare to talk to me about conscience with your kind of character? Do you take me for a fool?"
Feng Zhongya started to regret confronting Xu Chunliang. He thought he had covered up the past deeds flawlessly, but unexpectedly, Xu Chunliang knew all about it.
The reason Xu Chunliang didn’t expose him back then was to watch from the sidelines. Others fighting among themselves had nothing to do with him, but if anyone dared to provoke him, he wouldn’t tolerate it. Feng Zhongya dared to confront him directly, truly wondering who gave him the guts. From Tang Jingwei’s handling of personnel, it’s clear that Huayuan Group’s rapid decline was not accidental.
Feng Zhongya knew it was wise to retreat, nodded, and turned away.
Xu Chunliang knew he was guilty and did not continue arguing with him. Outside, he saw Su Qing waiting downstairs.
"Oh, you’re still waiting, huh?"
Su Qing said, "I was just worried something might happen to you."
Xu Chunliang laughed, "What could possibly happen to me?" At this time, the vice president Geng Wenxiu passed by and greeted him.
Xu Chunliang felt it wasn’t the right place for a conversation, so he let Su Qing into the car.
Su Qing apologized, "Did I cause you trouble?"
Xu Chunliang shook his head, "Not at all. It’s precisely because of people like you that life becomes colorful."
"People like us?" Su Qing blinked her beautiful eyes, seemingly gaining some understanding.
Xu Chunliang laughed, "Let’s go to my place first."
Xu Chunliang returned home and saw Ji Jiajia sitting in his living room, eating snacks and watching TV.
Xu Chunliang said, "You’re quite comfortable."
Ji Jiajia said, "Master, wasn’t it you who asked me to come back?" She greeted Su Qing, the two not being familiar, but Ji Jiajia wasn’t surprised anymore. Her master was quite a heartbreaker with beauties surrounding him, and who knew who would ultimately become her master’s wife.
Xu Chunliang said, "Did you turn it off?"
Ji Jiajia nodded, "It’s off. Master, why did you ask me to leave? I take responsibility for my own actions, I’m not afraid of them."
Su Qing said, "He worries Changxing Hospital will exploit the situation to cause more trouble."
Ji Jiajia said, "They wouldn’t dare. If they anger me, I’ll buy out Changxing Hospital and make my master the director."
Su Qing thought this girl had quite the big talk. Along the way, Xu Chunliang told her how Ji Jiajia ended up in Dongzhou, and she had heard of the Blue Star Group, so Ji Jiajia indeed had the wealth to buy Changxing.
Xu Chunliang told her about what happened after Ji Jiajia left, and Ji Jiajia couldn’t help but laugh when she heard her master’s unwavering denial, "I thought you would claim I was just a temp. Master, you really went all out, denying my existence altogether. I’ve helped so much at Changshan Hospital and ended up becoming a ghost?"
Su Qing said, "You’re not an official staff member at the hospital?"
Ji Jiajia pouted, "For their small hospital, I’m really not interested."
Xu Chunliang’s phone rang, it was Hua Zhuyue calling, indicating that the matter had already reached Hua Zhuyue’s ears. Xu Chunliang briefly explained the situation to Hua Zhuyue and handed the phone to Ji Jiajia.
Ji Jiajia took the call, Hua Zhuyue suggested she return to Beijing to avoid the fallout.
Ji Jiajia said, "I’m not going anywhere. Running away at the first sign of trouble isn’t my style."
Hua Zhuyue was at a loss with her and could only remind Xu Chunliang to keep an eye on her. This girl’s actions are unpredictable; she can turn a good thing into a bad one and a small issue into a big problem.
Even though Ji Jiajia had turned off her phone, Zheng Peian could guess that she was hiding at Xu Chunliang’s house. After work, he went straight to the Xu Family’s home, and sure enough, he found Ji Jiajia there.
Zheng Peian told Xu Chunliang that although Ding Si had managed to calm Wang Wenjie and his wife, Changxing Hospital was not pleased. They have approached Changshan Hospital, demanding a formal clarification on the matter and a public apology to Changxing Hospital.
Gu Houyi was not polite to Feng Zhongya, representing Changxing Hospital. He directly threw the hospital roster at him, telling him to open his eyes wider and see if Ji Jiajia was on it.
Ji Jiajia couldn’t help but joke that she had become a disappearing act.
Zheng Peian said, "Given the current messy situation, it’s best if you don’t return to the hospital for a while." Indeed, Changshan Hospital was at fault in this matter. After all, they have countless ties with Changxing Hospital, and it’s not good for things to get too tense.
Ji Jiajia said, "Haven’t you already declared that it has nothing to do with me? I can go wherever I want now, don’t worry, even if the police arrest me and send me to a mental hospital, I won’t implicate you."
Xu Chunliang said, "That is indeed one solution."
Everyone looked at Xu Chunliang, not understanding what he meant. He wouldn’t really send Ji Jiajia to a mental hospital, would he?
Xu Chunliang said, "We could have the police issue a statement, proving that this woman has no connection with Changshan Hospital, nor with Changxing Hospital, and emphasize that this woman involved in the incident suffers from mental illness."
Ji Jiajia’s eyes widened, "Are you saying I have a mental illness?"
Xu Chunliang said, "A temporary solution, we have to find a way out. You hitting someone at Changxing is a fact."
Ji Jiajia gritted her teeth and said, "I’m mentally ill, I’m mentally ill! You’re the one who’s mentally ill, you’re all mentally ill."
Zheng Peian struggled to hold back a laugh, "It’s just an excuse. I think the excuse of mental illness works well. You won’t have to take responsibility for your actions today, and we’ve all found a way out."
Ji Jiajia said, "Fine, I’ve got ALS anyway, not afraid to add a mental illness. But you all should be careful, who knows, maybe one day I’ll have a mental episode and come at you with a knife."
She huffed and stood up, walking towards the yard.
Su Qing nudged Xu Chunliang, indicating he should go check on her. Zheng Peian saw this scene and thought the two were flirting, quickly averting his eyes. But it was too obvious, causing Su Qing to feel a bit embarrassed. She got up and said, "I’ll go check on her."
After Su Qing left.
Zheng Peian smiled at Xu Chunliang and said, "Su Qing is a good girl."
Xu Chunliang said, "I haven’t said anything about you yet. Did you tell her about all this? Do you know she went to Changxing and hit Wang Wenjie’s wife? You’re really not afraid of making things worse."
Zheng Peian said, "She cares about you; I couldn’t really stop her. But look at it from another angle. She’s a renowned host at the provincial station. Whenever something happens to you, she rushes in headfirst, ready to shield and weather the storm with you. What is this? This is love! Isn’t such a good girl worthy of your cherishing?"
Xu Chunliang said, "That’s because we helped her. If something happened to you, she’d help you too."
Zheng Peian said, "Nonsense, her father’s matter has nothing to do with me. Honestly, finding someone who truly cares about you in this world isn’t easy, especially someone who puts you first no matter what."
Xu Chunliang laughed, "Uncle Zheng, saying this, you must have some opinions about my aunt."
Zheng Peian said, "How would I dare? For me, she’s always first, your aunt is my queen."
Ji Jiajia stood alone in the yard, staring at the moon. Su Qing came beside her and handed her a tissue.
Ji Jiajia said, "I’m not crying!" but her voice had a sobbing tone.
Su Qing said, "Don’t blame your master, he really cares about you."
Ji Jiajia said, "I’m so useless, can’t do anything well. Not only can’t I help, but I also always cause trouble for others."
Su Qing stood in front of her and helped wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "You’re growing, and you’ve learned to face things. You’re much stronger than most people your age, you’re willing to take responsibility. When I was your age, I didn’t have your courage."
Suddenly, a pang of sorrow hit Ji Jiajia. She threw herself into Su Qing’s arms and started crying, while Su Qing gently comforted her.
Xu Chunliang and Zheng Peian saw this scene through the living room window. Zheng Peian sighed and said, "This child really has it tough."
Xu Chunliang said, "This issue is kind of my fault too. If I hadn’t taken her to apologize to Wang Wenjie, today’s conflict wouldn’t have happened."
Zheng Peian said, "There aren’t many things that can humble you. What were you thinking?"
Xu Chunliang said, "This child has not suffered setbacks since she was young. I thought, let her learn endurance, to bow when necessary. After all, this world can’t be solved by fists alone. In the past, her father solved problems for her, then it was Hua Zhuyue, now it’s me. But one day, she will face this world alone. To walk a better path, she must understand when to advance and when to retreat."
