Xu Qian suppressed his temper and said in a gentle tone, "In that situation just now, I was still on your side. It was as if I said nothing at all. Don't worry, I will visit Miss tonight and sound her out for you."

As soon as she said that, Manager Hong immediately beamed with joy. "Great! You're so thoughtful. Here's what we'll do: go to the finance department and get 300 yuan from my account later. Buy some things and take them with you."

"Okay, I'll definitely get some information out of you," Xu Qian assured him.

Xu Zhaoyue was unaware of this little incident, so she was genuinely surprised when Xu Qian brought over a bottle of wine. "Why did you bring something with you?"

"I'm just passing on what I've got. I got the money from Manager Hong, and she's hoping I can bring back some useful information." Xu Qian handed the wine to Xiao Nan, who then put it away somewhere else.

Xu Zhaoyue pulled her hand and sat her down on the sofa. "Tell me what happened quickly."

"I learned about this from the old man. Do you know why it was Manager Fang who resigned to take responsibility, and not Manager Hong?" Xu Qian asked first.

"There must be some vested interests involved. Could it be related to her asking me to buy equipment this time?" Xu Zhaoyue wasn't quite sure about this. It would be beneficial for her if either Manager Hong or Manager Fang left.

Xu Qian took a deep breath and explained the situation clearly, "It's wrong for Manager Hong to use her position to seek personal gain because her grandson has a heart condition. But she has spent all her money on her grandson. Before resigning, she should return some of the money, but she can't even come up with that amount."

"And her grandson lives in our company's hospital, but only the elderly people in the second department know about it. Once I went to her to sign some papers but she wasn't there. I was about to call her when one of the older women told me because she was worried that I would disturb her from seeing her grandson."

Xu Zhaoyue was genuinely shocked; these were things that weren't in the employee files. "If that's how it is!"

"Yes!" Xu Qian nodded firmly. "That's right. So this equipment is mainly for her grandson. Even if you don't make things convenient for her, she will still try to persuade the hospital. What are your thoughts on that?"

Xu Zhaoyue fell silent. Xu Qian was quite familiar with her way of thinking; she used to be like this back in school. Xu Zhaoyue only made a move after Xu Qian sat there and drank a cup of tea.

"Do you remember last winter when I joined the professor's lab group, but we never actually showed up in his lab?" Xu Zhaoyue suddenly announced her early departure for studying abroad.

Xu Qian thought for a few seconds and remembered it. He still remembered it quite well. "There was such a thing. The professor took two students with him, and you were one of them. You didn't come back for three months. Xiao Nan kept talking about it every day."

"Oh, don't even mention it. Even if we've been abroad for a few months, we're still considered foreigners. But if my young lady really got kidnapped, where would I go to seek justice?" Xiao Nan chimed in when she heard them talking about it.

Xu Zhaoyue found Xiao Nan's still somewhat sulky appearance quite adorable. "Alright, alright, I originally told you it would be four months, three months is already a shortened time."

"That time I went out with the professor to participate in this project. I can say that I understand a large part of this ultrasound scanning technology. If we really wanted to get one, it would be difficult for others, but for me, as long as the funding is not a problem, I have no problem."

Xu Zhaoyue confidently assured Xu Qian that she had actually said half of what she was talking about. She had a complete understanding of the technology; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to complete their three or four years of academic work in just one year.

"Really!" Now it was Xu Qian's turn to get excited. "Wait a minute, you were involved in such a big project back then." Xu Qian's mouth dropped open in surprise, and he finally said, "As expected of you."
