He Liyu's assistant, Ji, quickly obtained the results of his investigation into Dr. Zhuang.
Five years ago, he was transferred from Taipei and has been working at a hospital in Nanjing ever since, where he has now risen to the position of vice president.
Besides these, Assistant Ji also had people find a lot of interesting things.
This time, He Liyu also planned to take advantage of a break during his business trip to meet Dr. Zhuang.
...
Xinhe Hospital is considered a relatively well-known private hospital in Ning City.
In a completed hospital promotional video, the doctor, wearing a white coat, stands tall with regular features and wears gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a refined and scholarly air. His full head of black hair and well-proportioned figure make it impossible to tell that he is already 50 years old.
In the hospital's vice president's office, Zhuang Kaiji reviewed the video and its contents, and after confirming that there were no problems, he handed it over to his assistant to post on his social media platform.
His social media platforms have amassed nearly a million followers due to his professional filter and handsome appearance.
The hospital values this highly and requires him to make time for filming promotional videos for the hospital no matter how busy he is.
The so-called promotion is just to have him share some symptoms on the platform, which is very simple for Zhuang Kaiji, but he is very busy and has recently been trying to mentor other doctors.
The response has been very positive.
"Vice Dean, the fans really like Dr. Li. Would you like to have Dr. Li appear on camera with them in the next episode?" the assistant asked.
Zhuang Kaiji had already turned on his computer when an unfamiliar email caught his attention. However, before he could click on it, he heard his assistant's words.
His hand paused slightly as he clicked the mouse, and he nodded casually upon hearing this.
"Okay, let me review the script for the next episode." He clicked on it.
The email only provided an address and a photo.
The moment Zhuang Kaiji saw the photo clearly, he was shocked, and his heart started racing.
The photo shows a smiling little girl with pigtails, and the woman next to her is elegant, sophisticated, and charming.
It was a very heartwarming scene, yet it sent a chill down his spine.
He wanted to find out the source of the photo, but his eyes darkened as he looked at the address.
"Vice Dean, Vice Dean? What's wrong?" The assistant hadn't left yet, and after calling him several times without any response, the assistant was about to approach when Zhuang Kaiji, who had just come to his senses, quickly closed the email and looked up.
The assistant was taken aback by his actions, puzzled, feeling that the vice dean was acting strangely tonight but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
He tried to glance at his computer, but couldn't see anything.
"Is there another meeting later? Go arrange it for me now, thank you." Zhuang Kaiji pinched the bridge of his nose, and where his assistant couldn't see, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his gentle eyes.
But he couldn't let anyone notice any of this, otherwise it would affect his next election for dean.
"Is there anything I need to take care of tonight? I promised my wife I'd be home early tonight." There was a hint of guilt in Zhuang Kaiji's eyes.
The assistant was taken aback for a moment, but quickly expressed his understanding. The vice president and his wife were very loving, and everyone in the hospital knew that.
"I understand. I'll arrange your work for tonight to the afternoon as soon as possible."
Zhuang Kaiji nodded, his eyes behind his glasses filled with a friendly smile. "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Fang."
...
9:10 PM.
Inside the underground parking lot of a high-end restaurant in downtown Ning City.
"Boss, Dr. Zhuang has arrived," Assistant Ji said respectfully.
Through the car window, he saw Zhuang Kaiji, dressed in a suit and tie, get out of a Mercedes-Benz and walk straight toward the elevator, his figure quickly disappearing.
In the back seat of the understated yet luxurious Bentley, the man who had been dozing with his eyes closed slowly opened them upon hearing this. In the dim light, his emotions were unreadable. He glanced casually out the window and then looked away.
Receiving no response, Assistant Ji asked again, "When do you plan to go up?"
Yes, the photo was sent anonymously to Zhuang Kaiji by him, and they were the ones who called him here. It's just that Assistant Ji isn't a mind reader for President He.
They arrived here after finishing their company business, a full hour earlier than Zhuang Kaiji, but the boss remained seated in the car without making any other moves or giving any instructions.
He Liyu casually glanced at Assistant Ji in the passenger seat and said in a calm voice, "Wait a little longer."
Assistant Ji was speechless, but he probably understood what the boss meant by asking him to wait.
Another half hour later, He Liyu calmly got out of the car and headed upstairs to the restaurant.
Inside 1003 private room.
Zhuang Kaiji followed the waiter's directions to the private room and began to wait.
However, there was no response from the other party for a long time. The longer he waited, the more anxious he became. After his wife called him for the third time, he couldn't help but get up and check every corner of the private room. He only felt a little relieved after confirming that there were no hidden cameras.
However, the other party still did not come. Zhuang Kaiji was very annoyed and did not understand the other party's behavior. He couldn't help but think about the other party's purpose in calling him here.
Just as he was contemplating whether to leave, the door to the private room opened.
He Liyu, dressed in a sharp suit, tall and composed, appeared at the door, followed by his assistant.
The two entered together, and upon recognizing the newcomers, Zhuang Kaiji's pupils constricted slightly, yet he tried his best to appear extremely calm and puzzled.
"President He?" He stood up and stepped forward to greet him. "I didn't expect it to be you who asked to meet me. I've heard so much about you."
Zhuang Kaiji greeted them with a fairly warm smile.
The adult world is all about playing along, using politeness first and then resorting to force.
He Liyu smiled and shook hands with Zhuang Kaiji, saying, "Sorry I'm late. I hope Vice President Zhuang won't mind?"
Zhuang Kaiji's smile froze slightly, but he could only manage a forced smile and polite greeting: "Not at all, I just arrived a little while ago. Shall we eat first?"
The two quickly sat down.
The waiters served the food quickly, but no one touched their chopsticks even though a table full of delicious dishes had been served.
Zhuang Kaiji glanced at the assistant sitting next to He Liyu, then looked back at him.
Just as he was pondering how to begin, He Liyu's voice rang out.
"Dr. Zhuang has also lived in Ning City for five years, so he must know the local cuisine better than I do. I wonder if this hotel suits your taste?"
Zhuang Kaiji's tea-sip movements stiffened slightly, and he nodded casually: "I'm not entirely sure, I'm sorry, Mr. He. As you know, at my age, it's still important to focus on health."
Then he glanced at the food on the table, most of which conformed to Ning City's tradition of heavy flavors.
Zhuang Kaiji: "..." It's confirmed, this wave is aimed at him.
He Liyu was well aware of this, but he felt no remorse and said with a faint smile, "I happened to find some information about Dr. Zhuang, which I think you might be interested in, such as that photo."
His dark eyes casually fell on Zhuang Kaiji's face, and sure enough, he could see the cracks on his face.
Zhuang Kaiji could no longer maintain his fake smile and looked directly at him, asking, "Where did President He get the photos of my wife and daughter?"
"Wife and daughter?" He Liyu chuckled in surprise. "But why do I remember that Dr. Zhuang's wife isn't the lady in the photo?"
Assistant Ji, with great insight, took out a stack of photos.
