Chapter 60: The new shareholder has arrived, get out of the way!
“Ding Dong…”
The doorbell stopped ringing for a while, and then a call was heard.
"Songsong? Are you home? It's me, Aunt Tang."
Chen Song swallowed his dry throat, came back to his senses, and his heart slowly calmed down. He opened his mouth to respond, but the words came out silent.
The doorbell ringing brought back so many memories, encompassing the endless longing, loneliness, anticipation, surprise, and dependence he'd felt during those days and nights of waiting. It was a secret code between him and Gu Mo.
When the doorbell rang again, it was the moment for the two to meet again.
Many of Gu Mo's habits were etched into his bones, and even after more than a year, he found it difficult to forget them. His brain's most basic reflexes told him that he still hadn't forgotten Gu Xingjue. As for how much longer it would take for him to truly forget, he didn't know.
Although the person who came was Tang Shihe, not Gu Xingjue, he was still a little surprised.
"Here it comes..." Chen Song had a splitting headache when he stood up from the ground. His vision was dizzy for a while and he had to hold on to the wall to steady his body. He slowly walked forward to open the door.
As soon as Tang Shihe saw him, she exclaimed, "Songsong! What's wrong with you?"
The bright red blood soaked the white gauze and gradually spread, which made Tang Shihe shudder with fear. The pile of bags in her hands fell to the ground, and several big red apples rolled out of the bags and rolled down the stairs with a "bang bang bang".
"Ouch!" Tang Shihe's heart twisted into a knot, her eyes reddened. She stretched out her hands to touch him, but timidly pulled them back, trembling as she paused in mid-air. "How did you get hurt? You're bleeding so much. Did the wound open again? You don't look well. Should we go to the hospital and get it bandaged again?"
Chen Song had just been in so much pain that he was sweating profusely. For some reason, the pain didn't seem so bad when he saw Tang Shihe, and he even felt a little happy. However, Tang Shihe's red eyes and the look of worrying made him feel distressed.
"I'm fine," Chen Song said with a hushed voice. "I just had it bandaged this afternoon. I'll have to wait two days before I can change it. Come in first, Aunt Tang."
Chen Song lowered his eyes, his gaze extending to the red apples that fell down the stairs. He was about to go out to pick them up when Tang Shihe stopped him: "Go in first and sit down. Don't walk around. I'll pick these up. Be a good boy."
Tang Shihe touched his cheek, and Chen Song felt warm in his heart: "Okay."
Chen Song went back to the room, poured a glass of water for Tang Shihe and placed it on the coffee table. Then he sat on the sofa and watched Tang Shihe come in with a few bags. He first placed the bags on the kitchen table, brought the lunch box to the coffee table, and placed the side dishes one by one.
"Auntie brought you food today, but I didn't call you because you were busy. Your colleague at the hospital said you went back to the dormitory, so I came. You eat first, I'll put the food in the refrigerator." Tang Shihe handed the chopsticks and spoon to Chen Song.
Chen Song took it, his eyes felt a little sore, he lowered his eyes and held the chopsticks tightly.
Tang Shihe wanted to stroke Chen Song's head, but when she saw the wound, she patted his shoulder and said, "Eat more. Our Song Song is always so thin. He must be so busy at work that he doesn't have time to eat. Auntie will come over more often and feed you to gain weight."
Chen Song raised the corners of his lips and nodded slightly, biting the delicious vegetable leaves in his mouth, tears unconsciously welling up in his eyes.
How could he not have any family? Although they were not related by blood, Tang Shihe had always taken good care of him.
It's just that he himself doesn't know how to handle a relationship, whether it's family, friendship or love. There is always an insurmountable dividing line in his heart. It is a thick wall he has built to protect himself because of his sensitivity, stubbornness and low self-esteem.
He stood inside the wall, unable to see the scenery outside. He stubbornly closed his heart for too long and missed a lot.
The nurse is right. Maybe “not being so strong sometimes is not such a bad thing”. It is also possible to rely on others appropriately.
How could Tang Shihe's food be so delicious? It was even better than Master Liu's, so delicious that it brought tears to his eyes. Chen Song let his tears slowly fall as he stuffed a lot of food into his mouth and chewed it with big mouthfuls.
"Songsong, I brought you some rice dumplings, made by your aunt. Dragon Boat Festival is in a few days. They're all your favorite, a three-in-one combination of beans, egg yolk, and beef. It's hard to find three-in-one on the market. I put ten in the refrigerator for you. When you get up this morning, steam them in the steamer for about ten minutes. Don't eat too many in a row, it's hard to digest. I bought you an apple, one a day. I also bought some pears, jujubes, and mangosteens. You'll definitely be busy and forget, but eat them when you remember. Throw them away if they go bad. I also bought you two buckets of milk, the date milk flavor. I didn't buy you any groceries, because you might not have time to cook. Also, I put the rice burgers in the freezer. If you want to eat them the next day, take them out and refrigerate them. Just heat them up for about five minutes in the morning."
Tang Shihe would give him instructions as she put something away, and tears seemed to flow from Chen Song's eyes. When he felt that Tang Shihe was almost done, he hurriedly wiped away the tears, blew his nose, and said with a smile, "I'll remember. Eat well."
After Tang Shihe finished packing, she walked over to Chen Song and sat down, putting her arm around his shoulder. She looked carefully at the gauze on his head. Even though she couldn't see the wound inside, she still looked at it carefully, as if she had X-ray vision and could see through the gauze.
"Yesterday, Xiaoyuan came home and said he was celebrating your birthday. You two are really something. You didn't tell your aunt and uncle about your birthday and celebrated it secretly. Come on, at least have a meal with us on your birthday next time. Your uncle is out on a business trip, so I came here alone to cook you a meal. Kid, if you get wronged outside, you have to tell us, okay?"
"You and Xiaoyuan have grown up now. Although we adults may not be able to help, it always makes you feel better if you talk to us. It's too hard to hold it in for too long."
Chen Song nodded. Every movement affected the wound on his forehead. He smiled deeply. "I know, Auntie. I just bumped into it accidentally. It's okay. It will be fine in a few days."
He didn't need to complain to Tang Shihe, nor did he need to tell her things that would make her worry. It was enough for Tang Shihe to come and bring him lots of delicious food and always think of him.
Tang Shihe still looked at the blood on the gauze with concern: "Then be careful next time. Such a pretty face, I wonder if it will leave a scar. You are a doctor, so you should know better than me. Is there any ointment that can be applied to heal it?"
Chen Song said, "Yes, the hospital has given it to me. If I apply it properly, it shouldn't leave any scars. Even if it does, it's okay. I can hide it as my hair grows longer."
Chen Song's hair was a little shorter on his forehead. The nurse had cut it a little when bandaging him to make it easier to change the dressing and avoid infection.
"Next time I'll bring you a clip to hold your hair in place. It keeps falling out and getting on your wound." Tang Shihe brushed Chen Song's bangs aside. "So, is this considered a work-related injury? Did you get any compensation?"
"Yes, I don't have to pay for the medical bills. I also have a week's vacation."
"That's fine. Then you should rest well at home these few days and apply the medicine on time. I will bring you food these days, so don't cook for yourself. Otherwise, why don't you go home and live with your aunt?"
It was a hassle for Tang Shihe to run back and forth, but it was impossible for her not to come. Chen Song thought for a moment and said, "What about the food that was just delivered?"
Seeing that Chen Song was about to come, Tang Shihe said happily, "That's fine, we can just take it home and eat it. I'll buy new ones when you're better. Uncle An is downstairs, take whatever you need with you and ask him to come up and help move it."
Tang Shihe held Chen Song's hand and said, "Just think of it as spending a couple of days with an old lady like me. Xiaoyuan happens to be home these days too, so we can have some fun together and take care of your injuries. It's so inconvenient for you to be home alone. How about it?"
"good."
Chen Song moved in with Lu Yuan for a week. Tang Shihe cooked him various soups, including old duck soup, pork rib soup, and pigeon soup, all of which were Chen Song and Lu Yuan's favorites. Chen Song would occasionally accompany Tang Shihe for walks, and Lu Yuan would tag along whenever he had time. Chen Song's complexion improved significantly, and Lu Yuan, thanks to the excellent food, also gained some weight.
The weather in mid-June was getting hotter. The damp, rainy days were over, and the scorching sun shone directly on the earth, and the sunset glow was enchanting. Lu Yuan drove Chen Song back and helped carry the food and supplies prepared by Tang Shihe upstairs.
Before leaving, Lu Yuan said, "You better behave yourself in the hospital. If anyone dares to bully you again, tell me and I'll pick up my weapon and beat him up!"
Chen Song smiled and said, "No one dares to bully me."
"You're just bragging. Come on, you only dare to act tough in front of me and bully others at home." Lu Yuan sneered, "But it's true, no one will dare to bully you in the future. You won't need me either."
Chen Song felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, but he didn't know what it was, and didn't think about it too much. He just thought that Lu Yuan thought that his injury scared the hospital staff so much that they didn't dare to approach him, fearing that he would commit fraud.
"Okay, okay, go back quickly. If you're any later, there'll be a traffic jam."
"Okay, take good care of yourself. Come and stay at our house when you have time during holidays. Let's go." Lu Yuan waved and got into the car.
Chen Song watched from afar until the car slowly disappeared from his sight.
Home...?
The next day, Chen Song returned to the hospital. The wound on his forehead had healed considerably, no longer needing a bandage; a square piece of gauze was enough. Today was also the day Ye Wenzhou and Sheng Zimo returned to work after reflecting on their mistakes.
Chen Song arrived early and went to the office to check the patient's medical records for the week. Dong Jingming saw Chen Song when he passed by the door and knocked on the office door.
Chen Song didn't look up, flipping through the medical records: "Come in."
Dong Jingming came in and sat down: "Doctor Chen, how is your injury?"
"That's about it, nothing serious."
"Have you had breakfast?"
"Um."
Dong Jingming glanced at Chen Song's wound, put the milk on the table, and stood up to close the door: "Doctor Chen, you probably don't know yet, let me tell you."
Just as Dong Jingming was about to close the door, a man rushed into the corridor.
"Oh, Dong Jingming, the boss is in there, right?" Ye Wenzhou pushed him away. Dong Jingming guessed what he was going to say and quickly closed the door.
Ye Wenzhou rushed to Chen Song and plopped down on the chair in front of him: "Boss, boss, boss! I guess you definitely don't know yet! I'll tell you!"
Dong Jingming: “…”
"I was just about to say okay."
Ye Wenzhou said, "No, no, I have to say it! You're being boring! Let me say it, let me say it. This is such a big thing that I have to announce it."
Chen Song was so much more energetic after being woken up by the funny guy early in the morning. He closed the medical record book and asked him, "What are you so happy about?"
"Old Man Lin has been replaced! He was fired from headquarters!!! Sheng Gou and his son, along with the old witch, were all taken down! The new dean is Ji Yuanlin!"
Chen Song was stunned for a moment: "So sudden?"
"Yes, it happened so suddenly!"
"Why?" Chen Song felt strange.
Dong Jingming sat on a chair nearby and explained, "The notice from above states that Lin Zhengzhen privately misappropriated public funds allocated to the hospital by shareholders and headquarters. Sheng Yuanjun and his team colluded to report false supporters, deceiving the national public relations and blaspheming the support warriors. Furthermore, Sheng Yuanjun and Cai Min's affair has affected public sentiment. Regarding the silk banner, I don't know who posted it online, but it has become a major issue online, causing public outrage. Doctor Chen doesn't use the internet much, so he might not have heard of it. But your personal information is well protected. Everyone only knows that you are a doctor named Chen, and they are all speaking up for you. Many supporters who know you have also spoken out on your behalf."
Ye Wenzhou gave him a resentful look: "Damn, you said that to me, what did I say?"
Chen Song frowned and thought for a moment. He had indeed not been paying attention to online news in recent days. "It's impossible to suddenly check them. Did someone report it? But relying on just a few people to report it might not be successful. Reporting with many people together is not realistic. It has nothing to do with their interests."
Dong Jingming nodded: "Yes, I can't figure this out either."
Ye Wenzhou raised his chin: "You all don't know this, right? But I do."
Dong Jingming looked at him: "What do you mean?"
Ye Wenzhou chuckled, "My dad told me. He beat me up when he got home that day. He said they had finally gotten me in, but I'd caused such a big mess, the hospital might just kick me out. Two days later, he came back from a social event and told me that Yile had a new shareholder. He was a new official, and he'd busted Yile from head to toe. And my dad said I was doing a good job of being a hero."
"I'm really sick of this old man who changes his attitude according to the situation!"
"New shareholder?" Dong Jingming asked.
"Yeah. My name seems to be something like, Gu, Gu..."
Chen Song's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he looked at Ye Wenzhou with wide eyes: "What are you worried about?"
