Play Speak
Hearing Zhaodi say this, the old man was so moved that he almost cried.
"Thank you, Xiao Zhang. You are a good person. How can I not pay you? You are such a good caregiver. I want to give you more money..."
The old man's enthusiasm made Zhaodi feel a little guilty.
She herself is not a bad person, but... there is a bit of acting in what she does.
She didn't know if the old man would feel sad because of her undercover identity after he knew the truth...
But in order to complete the task assigned to her by Sun Xue, she could only deceive the old man in good faith.
Sun Xue has been extremely busy recently. She has been running back and forth, spending most of her daytime at the construction site keeping an eye on the project. After finishing her work at the construction site, she takes time to visit Wang Ke in the hospital.
That day, she was discussing project matters with Zhang Shuo at the construction site when Zhu Biao called.
"Xiao Sun, when you're done with your work, please spare some time to come to the hospital."
Hearing Zhu Biao's tone, Sun Xue had a bad feeling in her heart, "What's wrong? Uncle."
"It's hard to explain over the phone. Let's talk about it when you come to the hospital."
Sun Xue heard Wang Ke coughing violently from the other end of the phone.
"Boss Wang, is he alright?"
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it when you come back."
"Okay, I have something to take care of right now. I'll be there when I'm done."
After hanging up the phone, Sun Xue continued to discuss work with Zhang Shuo. Zhang Shuo suddenly asked:
"Boss Sun, what's the situation with Boss Pan? When can he be discharged from the hospital?"
Sun Xue smiled bitterly. "He's unconscious and still in the intensive care unit. It's unknown when he'll wake up."
Zhang Shuo frowned. "That's bad. If he doesn't wake up, we have to find a solution quickly, otherwise the construction site will be paralyzed."
Zhang Shuo's words surprised Sun Xue. "Why?"
"Mr. Sun, you forgot that it was Boss Pan who introduced you to all the subcontractors and suppliers for this project. I recently heard some bad news that the project will soon be developed by a new developer. I heard it's a company called Zhifu Loan that's going to take over, and everyone's panicking..."
Sun Xue was very surprised by the news. "These are all rumors. How could this happen? We have signed a contract with Boss Pan."
Zhang Shuo, however, was filled with worry. "I also heard that the boss of Zhifu Company even invited these subcontractors and suppliers to dinner. I'm afraid...they'll go on strike en masse. After all, this is their territory, and we don't have any resources here. Also, I heard from the workers that the boss of Zhifu Company used to be a gangster in Gaozhou City, and he's ruthless..."
Only then did Sun Xue realize that things were more complicated than she had imagined!
No wonder Zhifu Company is so arrogant. It beat Wang Ke half to death at the construction site, and the assailant was only detained for a few days before being released.
A few days ago, the strange man who claimed to be the manager of Zhifu Loan Company called her and wanted to negotiate with her to resolve the beating incident. After she firmly refused, he threatened her in a very arrogant tone on the phone.
It turned out that their purpose was to drive her out of Gaozhou City and force her to hand over the project.
She even suspected that the mysterious man named Wang that Zhaodi heard from the old man was sent by Zhifu Company. They fabricated facts and persuaded the old man to call the police in order to kill her.
"I understand, Engineer Zhang. Please focus more on the project. I will find a way to resolve the issues with the subcontractors and suppliers as soon as possible."
After finishing the work at the construction site, I returned to the hospital and it was already dark.
When I walked into the ward, I found that Wang Ke was asleep and snoring softly.
On an empty bed next to him, Zhu Biao was lying and taking a nap.
Zhu Biao didn't notice her coming in at all.
She walked over and gently shook Zhu Biao's arm, whispering, "Uncle."
Zhu Biao suddenly raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and said with a smile, "Xiao Sun, when did you come? I was lying there and I was confused."
Sun Xue noticed that Zhu Biao's eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that he must have been worrying a lot about taking care of Wang Ke during this period.
"Uncle, have you eaten?"
"I ate." Zhu Biao looked at Wang Ke and said with a worried look, "Boss Wang didn't eat much today. He said he couldn't eat and had no appetite at all. Please try to persuade him later..."
Sun Xue was afraid that the conversation would wake up Wang Ke who was sleeping soundly, so she said, "Uncle, let's go talk outside."
The two of them left the ward and sat on a bench in the corridor. Sun Xue couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle, what was the matter with your phone call this morning?"
Zhu Biao frowned and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Wang is in very bad condition. He's urinating blood, and his kidneys are swollen."
Zhu Biao's words were like a thunder, exploding in Sun Xue's mind.
"Ah! Why am I peeing blood? What did the doctor say?"
"The blood in my urine was only discovered this morning. When Mr. Wang told me about it, his face turned pale."
"The doctor said it was caused by bleeding in the tissue around the kidneys. He said there was no need to panic and that I could just take the medicine and observe. But I was still worried, so I called you. I even accompanied Mr. Wang to the bathroom that afternoon. I was really shocked, and it felt quite serious."
Zhu Biao expressed his thoughts, "I think we should still take this seriously. I feel this doctor is not very reliable. We don't want to delay Mr. Wang's condition. I suggest transferring him to a large hospital in the provincial capital. What do you think?"
Sun Xue nodded and said, "Uncle, I agree with your suggestion. I will contact the hospital for transfer tomorrow."
As she was speaking, Sun Xue's cell phone rang.
It’s an unfamiliar number, and the location is Gaozhou City.
After answering the phone, Sun Xue frowned and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Is this Mr. Sun from Xuehua Company?"
A deep and magnetic voice of a man came from the other end of the phone.
"It's me, you?"
"I'm the boss of Zhifu Loan Company. My last name is Pan Biao."
Sun Xue asked calmly, "Boss Pan, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"My driver is waiting for you at the hospital entrance. I would like to invite Mr. Sun to have a cup of tea and chat with us." Pan Biao said in a kind tone.
"I'm sorry, we don't know each other and there's nothing to talk about. If you have something to say, just tell me. If not, I'll hang up. I'm busy."
Sun Xue decisively refused. She knew very well why Pan Biao came to her. Wasn't he just trying to force her to resolve the assault through negotiation?
Pan Biao's tone remained gentle. "Mr. Sun, don't hang up just yet. I received a court summons today regarding an incident involving an employee of my company assaulting someone. I think it might be a misunderstanding. Let's sit down and talk calmly about how you would like to resolve this. I'd like to hear your suggestions. There's no need to make such a big fuss. A situation where both sides suffer is not what you want, right?"
Sun Xue was worried about Wang Ke's blood in urine. When she heard Pan Biao's words, she became even more angry.
"Mr. Pan, there's no need to sit down and talk. Let's meet in court. I believe the law will prevail."
Pan Biao said calmly, "Boss Sun, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll give you half an hour to think about it. I'll have the driver wait for you outside the hospital. When you've figured it out, call me and have the driver pick you up so we can have a good chat."
