Chapter 2 She is a Mobile Blood Bank
"You mean a stranger took you to the hospital and paid your medical bills?" Jiang Qinyuan raised her voice in surprise.
Lin Shutang nodded.
She asked the hospital, and they said the amount was not small, and with the medicine prescribed, it was over a thousand yuan in total. Lin Shutang thought, find the person, return the money to him, and thank him in person.
She left her phone number with the nurse, asking her to call if the kind-hearted man went to the hospital again.
But the possibility of this is too small.
Seeing her worried look, Jiang Qinyuan comforted her, "Don't overthink it. Since he did this, he probably doesn't care about the money. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Besides, didn't you say that your student ID was right next to him at the time? He must have seen it and might even contact you through the school."
Lin Shutang nodded slowly: "Yeah."
Her cell phone rang, and she picked up the phone. It was the counselor calling: "Teacher."
"Shutang, come to my office when you have time. The teacher has something to ask you."
"Okay, teacher." Lin Shutang glanced at his watch. It was still early. "I can go over right now. Is it convenient for you now? Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Shutang picked up the bag on the table and said, "Yuanyuan, I'm going out for a while."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll bring you lunch."
"Thanks."
On the way to the teacher's office, Lin Shutang wondered if the person who took her to the hospital had contacted the teacher.
Ten minutes later, Lin Shutang said, "Thank you, Teacher. But I think there are people who need this funding more than me."
Lin Shutang was grateful that someone had decided to sponsor her, but she wasn't actually short of money. Although the Feng family was stingy with money, it was enough for her daily expenses. After all, they still had to draw her blood, and if she didn't eat enough, there would be no blood to draw.
She worked part-time to earn money for her studies simply because it made her feel that she was not completely controlled by the Feng family.
Seeing her insistence, the counselor didn't say anything. However, it was still unclear whether the leadership would agree. After all, the money was specifically given to Lin Shutang by that gentleman. We'd have to wait and see.
Compared to previous social grants that were given early, this one came suddenly and seemed to be specifically for her. Before leaving, Lin Shutang curiously asked the teacher why the kind-hearted people had chosen her. The teacher hesitated for a moment and simply said that it was because she was excellent in all aspects.
Lin Shutang didn't think this was the real reason. After all, there were many people at Jingda University who were better than her. She thought, maybe the teacher didn't know why either.
As soon as he left the counselor's office, Lin Shutang received a call.
The moment she saw the caller ID on the screen, she reacted almost reflexively. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body shaking violently, and there was a moment of dizziness and darkness in front of her eyes.
He leaned against a tree trunk by the roadside and took a few deep breaths before his vision returned to normal. He answered the phone, "What's going on?"
"Your brother has surgery next week. You should pack up and go home to prepare." The command was given in a matter-of-fact and casual tone.
It was a sunny day, but Lin Shutang felt very cold and tears unconsciously slid down his cheeks. However, after realizing that he was crying, Lin Shutang smiled instead.
It turned out that she was not as strong as she thought, and she was still sad because of the Feng family.
Finally, she put her palms together, wiped the tears from her face with her fingertips, and said calmly: "Okay."
At noon that day, Lin Shutang was unable to eat the lunch that Jiang Qinyuan brought her.
Lin Shutang was seven years old when she was brought back to the Feng family. At that time, her parents had died in a car accident, and her aunt brought her home, saying that the Feng family would be her new home.
She had once truly considered the Feng family her own. Lin Shutang couldn't remember exactly when the references to "uncle," "aunt," and "cousin" became "Mr. Feng," "Mrs. Feng," and "Feng Jiang." Perhaps it was after a blood transfusion to Feng Jiang.
The first time Feng Jiang received a blood transfusion was when he was twelve years old.
That day, Feng Jiang fell off his motorcycle secretly, and Lin Shutang was forcibly dragged out of bed and taken to the hospital.
At that time, she felt that the Feng family was so good to her and gave her a home, so it was her duty to help her brother.
After that, Lin Shutang donated blood to Feng Jiang several more times and never suspected anything.
It was not until more than a year ago when Feng Jiang's family-inherited leukemia broke out and the Feng family began to ask her to give Feng Jiang blood transfusions from time to time that Lin Shutang realized that from the moment she entered the Feng family, she was just a spare mobile blood bank, not a family member.
This operation was also confirmed as soon as Feng Jiang fell ill, but his physical condition was not suitable for the operation before, so it was delayed until now.
On the way back to Feng's house in a taxi, Lin Shutang sent a text message to the Feng couple: After this operation, I will leave the Feng family, and from now on anything related to the Feng family has nothing to do with me.
She clicked send, ignoring the other party's reply. She watched the bustling street scene receding outside the car window, and her heart suddenly became calm. Those bad things seemed to be moving away from her.
…
When Fan Sizhu received the school's reply, he was a little surprised. He had just read Miss Lin's information and thought her life in the Feng family must have been very difficult. He had never expected that she would actually refuse the Li family's financial aid.
After he returned to his room that night, his boss sent him a WeChat message instructing him to add Lin Shutang to the Li family's funding list.
This was the first time the boss had shown any interest in sponsoring someone. This Miss Lin must be a special person to the boss. His research into her profile had paid off.
However, this time, Fan Sizhu was indeed overthinking it. Li Yansheng's decision was a matter of a moment's thought; it was truly just a financial aid, with no other intentions.
So, when Fan Sizhuo handed Lin Shutang's personal information to Li Yansheng, what he got in return was Li Yansheng's cold words: "If you are really too free, you can go back to the headquarters now."
Fan Sizhu immediately fell silent and did not dare to report the funding matter again.
With the boss away, the fighting at headquarters must be even more intense, and he doesn't want to go back.
The Li family is a century-old family business. As the boss's business grows bigger and bigger, some people can no longer sit still. In recent years, they have been very active, making the internal environment of the group a mess.
It was also because Mr. Li was still around and someone was suppressing it for the time being that the matter had not come to light, but it was only a matter of time.
The chairman is partial. Even if the boss is now the head of the group, I am afraid he will not hand over the company to him when the day of decentralization comes.
This is also the real reason why the boss came to Beijing this time - to make plans early.
Thinking about the important matters, Fan Sizhu put aside what happened just now and began to report today's itinerary.
"You have an appointment with Mr. Liang from Yuanjiang Group at 10 o'clock this morning. After lunch with Mr. Liang, you have a half-hour break. After that, you will inspect the First Municipal Hospital and then go to the branch office."
Li Yansheng casually threw his personal information on the table and closed his eyes to rest. "Let's move up the time with Mr. Liang and the afternoon inspection. Let's arrange a video conference tonight and have the planners prepare a report on Ruiding Phase II."
"OK."
Li's main business now is still real estate. Ruiding City is Li's main project this year, and the first phase investment has exceeded 3 billion.
If nothing unexpected happens, the net profit margin of this project will exceed 11 percentage points. The net profit of this project alone may be equivalent to the income of some other real estate companies for several years.
