Chapter 68 Dilemma
The village in the suburbs is surrounded by mountains and water, with green hills, clear water and lush green trees. Vehicles drive along the winding asphalt road into the depths, and face several red brick buildings, hidden in the green.
The car stopped in the hallway. A butler in a light blue uniform was already waiting at the door to greet us. A nurse in a pink nurse's uniform stood behind. The butler respectfully opened the door, bowed, and said with a smile, "Miss Han and Ms. Liu, right? Welcome, welcome. I'm your butler, Xiao Cheng. I'll be at your service from now on."
Han nodded, stepped out of the car first, and then signaled the housekeeper to help Liu Suping out of the car, while the nurse took the luggage from the driver.
This is the rehabilitation center that Fang Jiayan helped find. According to Han Que's requirements, it should be quiet, remote, unknown, with good facilities and professional nursing.
Han Que and Fang Jiayan had come here for an on-site inspection before, and basically everything met her requirements.
Han Que said to Fang Jiayan: "If I want to go out to study, my mother can't take me with her. I can only entrust a professional institution to take care of me so that I can feel at ease."
Fang Jiayan asked reluctantly, "Have you really decided? Are you willing to let it go?"
Han turned away and said evasively, "My mother's health is so poor that our old, dilapidated house is no longer suitable for living. Instead of renting a house and hiring a nanny, it's better to find a professional agency to take care of her. I can feel more at ease. It will take two or three years at most. I can wait until I'm settled down before I decide."
Fang Jiayan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Wenwen and I will come here often. If you really want to go out, we are here for you."
Han nodded and shook Fang Jiayan's hand vigorously.
She trusts her girlfriend.
Liu Suping was helped into the lobby by the nursing lady and sat on the sofa in the lounge area. The housekeeper led Han Que to the front desk to check in. She looked around and saw the elegant decoration and quiet environment. She also saw that the housekeeper was well-trained. She asked the nursing lady, "How much does it cost to live here?"
Aunt Liu had received Han Que's instructions beforehand, so she just smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, don't worry about it. This is your daughter's filial piety. Just stay here and take good care of your health."
Liu Suping remained silent. She bent down and touched the thick carpet beneath her feet, muttering to herself, "I wonder how much it costs to stay in such a high-end place in a month?"
The nurse didn't answer, but just smiled and lowered her head to organize the suitcases and large and small plastic bags.
The front desk staff brought tea and placed it on the coffee table. Liu Suping grabbed the girl and said, "Girl, let me ask you, how much does this place cost per month?"
The waitress was startled. She said, "We are a high-end health and wellness center. The minimum monthly fee is over 10,000 yuan. It also depends on the service content and the grade of your accommodation. The prices are different for different types of accommodation."
"At least more than ten thousand?" Liu Suping was stunned.
"Yes, it's still the lowest starting price." The little girl's eyes were filled with pride.
"This more than ten thousand is still the lowest price?" Liu Suping murmured again.
"Hey, are you okay? If you are, go do something else." The nurse saw that the situation was not good, and quickly winked at the waiter. She turned around and took Liu Suping's hand and said, "Hey, Aunt Liu, don't listen to her. We got admitted here because of Dr. Fang's relationship. We were given a preferential price. It won't cost much."
"Han Que, come here." Liu Suping ignored her and suddenly shouted at Han Que.
Han, who was processing the formalities, was startled and hurried over, "What's wrong? Mom, what happened?"
"I don't live here anymore." Liu Suping's face turned pale. She stumbled to her feet from the sofa, pulling her suitcase and was about to walk out.
"Mom, what are you doing? Didn't we agree on this?" Han quickly stopped her, puzzled. She frowned and looked at the nurse, asking with her eyes.
"Oh, that girl is always too talkative." The nurse curled her lips in the direction of the waiter, sighed and whispered, "Auntie thinks it's too expensive."
Han understood immediately. She had already prepared herself mentally. She immediately put on a smile and said to Liu Suping, "Oh, I thought it was something else. It turns out it's about the cost. Don't worry, Mom. I can afford it."
"Can you afford it?" Liu Suping stared at her, laughing sarcastically. "Where did you get the money? How did you get so much money? Tell me about it." Her body was trembling, and her cheeks were unnaturally red. However, Han glanced at the nurse beside her and said with a calm smile, "Mom, you see, my monthly salary is almost 20,000 yuan now. Even though the fee here is over 10,000 yuan, I can afford it."
"You... have that much salary?" Liu Suping asked in surprise, then shook her head. "I don't believe it. How could you possibly make that much money every month? Your money must have come from some illegal source. I don't want to use your money. I don't want to live here. I want to go home."
She spoke a series of words and had already started to walk out, but Han pulled her arm and begged, "Mom, can you please listen to me? Why can't I make so much money? I work in sales and get paid back every month, and I get bonuses and commissions. Why don't you trust me?"
"I don't believe you, I just don't believe you. You have been lying since you were a child. You are a liar, you shameless girl. If you don't learn your lesson, how can you face your father in the future? How can I explain to your father in the future..." Liu Suping suddenly broke down and cried loudly, her voice hoarse, gasping for breath, covering her heart, her body shaky like a fallen leaf, Han Que and the nurse aunt hurriedly supported her on each side.
The nurse took the cup of water and handed it to her mouth: "Aunt Liu, don't cry, don't be anxious, drink some water first." As she said that, she stuffed the prepared pill into Liu Suping's mouth when she was not paying attention, and forced water into her mouth. Liu Suping choked a few times, but still swallowed the pill. She cried with tears and snot, and kept cursing Han Que in her mouth.
Seeing this, the housekeeper Xiao Cheng and the nurse hurried over and followed Han Que to support Liu Suping.
"Quick, get the wheelchair, and help Auntie into the ward first and put her on the monitor." Xiao Cheng ordered decisively. Several people worked together to get Liu Suping into the wheelchair and pushed her to the ward.
The other nurses followed in a hurry, pushing the monitor's stand.
By the time everything was done, Han was sweating profusely and had a splitting headache. She slumped on the bench outside the ward, gasping for breath.
After settling Liu Suping down, housekeeper Xiao Cheng walked out of the ward and bowed deeply to Han Que: "I'm sorry, Miss Han, for causing you trouble. We will punish the relevant responsible personnel."
"Forget it, you can't blame her. Don't make things difficult for her." Han waved his hand and said weakly, "It's not easy for anyone, and she doesn't know my mother's condition."
"Thank you for your understanding." Xiao Cheng was sincerely grateful. She had seen rich guests who were all domineering and would lose their temper if things didn't go their way. She didn't dare to slack off even a little.
"Well, never mind. Just take me to the doctor's office and I'll explain my mother's condition to you. I have to go back to work." Han Que looked at the message from Director Pan on his phone, took a deep breath, and stood up by holding the back of the chair.
"Mr. Wang, I know you've made tremendous contributions to Zhening Company, but that doesn't mean you can seize the company's assets for yourself." Gu Ningwei smiled and pushed a stack of documents in front of Mr. Wang Jianan, the Vice President of R&D. "Please take a look at these first."
Wang Jianan glanced down at the stack of documents, his expression changing slightly, but he remained calm. He snorted coldly, "What does this mean? My ex-wife and I divorced a long time ago. What does the company she founded have to do with me? She was originally my college classmate, and starting a biotech company is her field. What's so strange about this?" He smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, you are my boss and you can control me, but you can't control my ex-wife, right?"
"Of course." Gu Ningwei maintained a polite smile. "Your ex-wife's establishment of the company has nothing to do with you legally, but it's wrong for you to transfer the company's patent rights to her."
"Company patents?" Teacher Wang snorted disdainfully, combing his fingers through a few strands of hair on his shiny forehead. He said slowly, "Mr. Gu, I don't think you know yet, but these patents are all mine. I can transfer them to whomever I want."
"Old Wang, don't go too far." Li Zhekai slammed his hand on the table. "Your patent rights? If there were no company, and no R&D staff's hard work, where would you get your patent rights from? Just because you say it's yours, it's yours. Can you transfer it to whoever you want? This is simply outrageous."
"Old Li, don't get excited and take care of yourself." Wang Jianan said indifferently.
Li Zhekai's face turned red from holding it in.
Gu Ningwei didn't say anything, just looked at him, the smile on his handsome face still persisting.
He said casually, "Teacher Wang, you're right, but you must be aware of the relevant legal provisions. Although the patent inventor is named as you, you are the company's Vice President of R&D, in charge of R&D. So, although the signature is yours, this is a work-related invention, and the ownership should belong to the company."
Wang Jianan's face froze. He was stunned for a moment, but still said stubbornly, "I haven't heard of this legal provision."
"It's okay if you haven't heard of it. I'll find a lawyer and let you know through legal procedures." Gu Ningwei drummed his fingers on the table, looked him straight in the eye, and said calmly, "As for your unauthorized transfer procedures without the company's permission, we will also pursue relevant legal responsibilities."
"Gu Ningwei, who do you think you are?" Wang Jianan was furious upon hearing this. He slammed the table and shouted, "When I was in this company, you were still fooling around. You came to acquire us with just a few bucks and wanted to take away all my years of hard work. Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Old Wang, how can you speak like that?" Li Zhekai scolded. "How can you say such hurtful things?"
"Shut up." Wang Jianan glared at him sharply, veins bulging on his forehead, his expression agitated. "It's all because of you, useless piece of shit, that you gave away this perfectly good company. What does this second-generation rich playboy know except eating, drinking, gambling, and having sex with women? He came to buy the company just for a slutty woman, and what about you? You're just so careless, selling off all our years of hard work at a low price, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?"
"Lao Wang, don't get it wrong. This is my company and my shares. I can sell them to whoever I want. You don't have to worry about it." Li Zhekai was scolded until his face turned red.
"Yes, that's your company. We won't stop you even if you have shit in your head, but I can't follow you. I'm leaving. I want to see how long you can last after I'm gone. I want to see if there's anyone who will follow a loser like you." Wang Jianan slammed the table and said to Gu Ningwei, "Go ahead and sue me. I'm not afraid. Let's just wait and see." After that, he pushed away the chair and left.
When Han rushed back to the company, it was almost time to get off work. She walked into the conference room. The smoke inside had not yet dissipated, the lights were not on, and the dusk was dim. Gu Ningwei's slender figure stood in front of the window, lonely and desolate.
