Chapter 83 Then he said quickly: "Pan Pan...
After Li Chengcai was found, Chen Pan's blisters in his mouth and various inflammations in his body recovered quickly.
Two days later, the doctor allowed her to go out of the hospital occasionally, but she had to report to the doctors and nurses before going out.
You know, Chen Pan was not allowed to leave the hospital before.
When she was able to go out, the first thing Chen Pan did was to go to the convenience store outside the hospital and call her grandfather and others.
His grandfather wasn't home at the time, and the final call was answered by his cousin Wu Cuicui. "Panpan, it looks like you're really better now, able to call us. Don't worry, we're all fine. Ever since our story was reported in the Longcheng News and Longcheng Daily, we've had a lot of people coming to buy flour and rapeseed oil every day, and a lot of calls too. Look, my uncle's already out delivering goods with Chen Laoshi. Chen Sanbao and my dad, who just came over a while ago, are out loading goods for others."
Wu Cuicui probably wanted to say something else, but a familiar voice came from the other end, asking her to write the order quickly.
Seeing that she was so busy, Chen Pan tactfully didn't say much. After telling the other party that she was fine now, she quickly hung up the phone.
"Grandma, Grandpa isn't home. He's out delivering goods with Chen Laoshi. Sister Wu and the others at home are also very busy, so I won't disturb them for the time being."
After explaining to his grandmother who was standing nearby and listening, Chen Pan called the factory in his hometown again.
The person who answered the phone was Chen Pingping, who also worked in customer service and finance. Her reaction was almost exactly the same as Wu Cuicui's. She asked right away if Chen Pan was feeling better now and whether he could be discharged from the hospital soon.
Hearing her words, Chen Pan glanced at his grandmother and immediately revealed a helpless and troubled expression. "I also want to be discharged early. Now all I do every day is get an IV drip, take medicine, and have the various routine checkups in the morning. There's really nothing else to do. But even if I tell the doctor specifically that I'm leaving, he tells me to wait. There's nothing I can do but stay here."
After talking about his own situation, Chen Pan asked the other party about the situation of the factory again.
"Everyone in our family is busy right now. My grandparents, my second uncle, my eldest uncle, my parents, my second uncle, my youngest uncle, my third uncle, my fourth uncle, Uncle Yang next door, etc. They are all busy with their wives. Everyone is rushing to harvest wheat and rapeseed oil and quickly start production. My eldest brother and his wife are driving a borrowed small truck to deliver goods to your place every day. And those who called the factory directly to request goods are also driving and delivering goods at the same time."
After briefly explaining his situation, Chen Pingping sighed again, "Panpan, we really didn't expect this to make the news on the Longcheng News Broadcast and Longcheng Daily. The day after the news broke, many people drove over to support our business. Some even drove to the Li family's doorstep and the factory gate to yell at us. At the time, everyone who came would just give our factory a look and buy something."
Those on bicycles usually took a bag of flour and a bucket of oil, those on motorcycles would take three or four things at a time, and those in cars and vans took even more. It wasn't until then that I understood why you suggested my grandfather build the factory so beautiful and clean, and why you made us wrap our hair and wear shoe covers when we entered—"
Chen Pingping spoke excitedly, and Chen Panpan listened with a smile.
Later, seeing her getting more and more excited, Chen Pan finally remembered the ultimate purpose of his call and quickly said to her, "Okay, Sister Pingping, let's not talk about this for now. First, tell me how the Li family is doing now? Do you know anything about their affairs?"
"Them?" Yang Pingping glanced at the cashier in the room inside, then lowered her voice and said, "Everyone in the village said that the little boy, who was only seven months old, didn't survive. The mistress seemed to survive in the end, and Li Chengcai's father—"
The more Chen Pingping spoke, the lower her voice became. Chen Pan, who was holding the phone, and Grandma Chen, who was holding a handbag next to her, subconsciously tilted their bodies and moved their heads closer and closer.
"What happened to his father?" Chen Pan asked in a low voice.
Chen Pingping's voice on the other end of the phone grew increasingly quiet. "Wasn't it rumored the other day that his father had an abdominal injury? And then there were rumors these past couple of days that Li Chengcai was going after that place where his father was."
"That place?"
Before Chen Pan could react, Grandma Chen, who was leaning against her and listening, immediately showed an expression of disbelief and sudden enlightenment.
Looking at the other person's expression, Chen Pan understood everything in a flash.
"Oh, who said this? Could it be fake?" Chen Pan coughed dryly, then immediately asked.
Chen Pingping continued to lower his voice: "I don't know who spread it, but everyone in the village is spreading it privately now."
"Yeah!!"
Chen Pan didn't care where Li Decheng was injured.
After confirming that Li Chengcai would definitely go in this time, Chen Pan completely relaxed. Then Chen Pan asked Sister Pingping how Sanbao brother could get to Liuping Company.
"He's fine, don't worry. He didn't drop out of school. He just saw that everyone was busy, so he came to your house to earn some extra money. Third Uncle said that if he came to help this summer, he would give him 40 yuan a month, so he happily came over—"
Chen Pan and Chen Pingping couldn't stop chatting. Grandma Chen was completely satisfied with her big news. She didn't want to hear them talk about Chen Sanbao and Chen Sibao anymore. Grandma Chen whispered something to Chen Pan and then went to a nearby restaurant to buy lunch for the two of them.
Chen Pan nodded to her, but after Grandma Chen actually left, Chen Pan quickly finished chatting with Chen Pingping.
When the shop owner in the distance looked over and wanted to collect the money, Chen Pan said something to him, and then silently dialed the number of Qin Yang's grocery store.
"Hello, Panpan?"
As soon as the person on the other end answered the phone, he called out Chen Pan's name.
"It's me, Brother Qin, how did you know it was me calling you?" There seemed to be countless words he wanted to say in his heart, but when the call was connected, this is what Chen Pan said.
"When your grandfather was over there, he would usually call my house. But Grandma Chen, probably because she couldn't read, never took the initiative to call me once. And in Xi'an, the only people I know now are you two. It can't be Grandma Chen, it can only be you who is slowly recovering now."
Qin Yang's voice was filled with laughter. Chen Pan listened to his laughter and subconsciously curled his lips when he realized what was going on. "It's not that my grandma doesn't want to call you. She's just been busy taking care of me lately and hasn't had time to call you. By the way, I called to tell you that Li Chengcai has gone home on his own. Did you know about this, Brother Qin?"
"I know. I also know that he stabbed his father and his father's mistress right after he came back. Now the latest news seems to be that his adopted brother is also gone. It's really pitiful for that little kid who was only born not long ago, but to be honest, this incident in his family can only benefit you and not harm you. At least for the next few years, or even a decade, or even a lifetime, he shouldn't bother your family again. And as for his father, this incident caused a big stir. He received special attention from the higher-ups and the media, and after being supervised by the higher-ups to apologize to your grandfather, he will definitely not cause trouble for your family again in the future."
Knowing what Chen Pan was thinking, Qin Yang on the other end of the phone imagined a beautiful future for her.
"A lifetime shouldn't be possible, but a few years should be possible." It wasn't that Chen Pan didn't believe in the law, but the Li family was too wealthy, and Li Chengcai's father truly doted on his son. Even now, even though Li Chengcai had gotten into such a terrible situation, killing his other son and injuring him, Chen Pan still felt that no matter what trouble Li Chengcai got into, his father would desperately try to find a way to clean up the mess.
Chen Pan told Qin Yang his idea. Qin Yang was silent for a moment, but then he slowly said, "A few years is fine. As long as you are given a little more time, you will definitely become very strong. Then you won't be afraid when you see him again. Besides, when he was in prison, we were all getting stronger. We will all help you then."
Chen Pan wanted to ask, "Besides you, who else is this us?"
But she felt that such a question absolutely couldn't be asked, so Chen Pan subconsciously skipped over it. Then she suddenly said, "Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Brother Qin, has your business been better recently?"
"Yeah, much better. Because of this incident, I was able to get a large bank loan that I had been unable to get approved before. Now we have all the money we needed for renovations, and we also have the money to buy office and production equipment. In a few days, I will go to Shenzhen with Jiang Wenwu and Tang Jun to look at the equipment."
"What kind of equipment is this? Is it expensive?" Qin Yang's voice sounded excited. Chen Pan was interested and asked subconsciously.
"It's a six-color web rotary printing press from Beiren, a purely mechanical type of printing press, also known as an offset press. They're very expensive; the one we're looking at might cost 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. But using it will significantly improve both print quality and quantity. They're excellent for printing promotional posters, books, and magazines. Boss Tang's cousin recommended them to us. By the way, Boss Tang is the one who made my business cards and anonymous membership cards. You gave me your grandfather's and Chen Laoshi's business cards, as well as your company's flyers, and I ended up giving them to him and Jiang Wenwu at their printing shop."
"You told me this, I know. By the way, Brother Qin, if that thing is really expensive, I suggest you go to a few more places to ask around, so you don't get ripped off by others. Actually, if you buy something like that, it's okay if someone makes a few hundred or even a thousand dollars off of it. But I'm afraid of machines that cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, and people will make tens of thousands of dollars off of you at once."
Knowing that the more expensive something is, the greater the profit one can make from it, Chen Pan couldn't help but say a few more words.
"I see. I thought so too. That's why I suggested that you go directly to the factory to buy that thing this time. I heard that the one in Shenzhen is just a branch. If the price there is too high, I'm also thinking of buying it directly from the head office in Beijing. After all, compared to the tens of thousands of dollars for the machine, the few hundred or so dollars for transportation is really not worth mentioning."
Somehow, the two of them started talking about business again.
Later, when Qin Yang finally reacted and asked Chen Pan when she would be discharged from the hospital, Chen Pan saw that her grandmother had already returned with two plastic bags.
Chen Pan was anxious and could only quickly say: "It's not clear yet, but it should be soon. Okay, Brother Qin, my grandma is here, I——"
"Okay, then call me before you're discharged and I'll pick you up." Qin Yang quickly said goodbye, understanding what she meant. But before saying goodbye, he told Chen Pan to notify him when the time comes.
"Okay, that's it."
When there are too many lice, one is no longer afraid of the itch. Knowing that he owed the other party too much, Chen Pan, just like before, shamelessly agreed immediately.
*
Chen Pan was admitted to the Xi'an Air Force Hospital on June 29th, and was not discharged until July 25th.
She brought too many things with her during this hospitalization. When she was going back, Chen Pan didn't think about hiring a car. In the end, as agreed, she called Qin Yang in advance to ask him to pick her up.
"well!"
After knowing that Chen Pan called Qin Yang again, Grandma Chen sighed subconsciously.
She continued to sigh as the two of them packed up everything and waited for Qin Yang in the hospital.
But later, when Qin Yang borrowed a small van and came over, he said that if they were tired, they could lie down in the back of the van to rest.
Looking at Qin Yang, who drove from five in the morning to one in the afternoon and would have to drive for another seven or eight hours after lunch, Grandma Chen smiled and did not sigh in front of Qin Yang.
Chen Pan noticed her grandmother's reaction, but she didn't care.
After taking the wig that Qin Yang bought, Chen Pan was most concerned about whether this wig looked like her previous hair and whether people could tell at a glance that she was wearing a wig.
While she was fiddling with the long wig on her head, Qin Yang subconsciously glanced at her while talking to Grandma Chen.
Then he said quickly, "Panpan, there are several other wigs under that bag. The one you're wearing now was the one I asked someone to buy for you first, but I didn't think it fit, so I went to the wholesale market and bought a few more. My goal is to give you a good idea of what to choose. Anyway, you can try them all out and wear the one that suits you best."
