Chen Zhe lay on the hospital bed, his mouth slightly open, looking at the situation before him.
He swallowed hard.
He said to the women surrounding his hospital bed, "Actually, I'm not that badly ill. The doctor said I can manage on my own. I'll drink it myself."
"no!!!!"
Zhang Xinrui was the first to exclaim, "Your hand is injured. The doctor said you need someone to take care of you. You saved me before, and I haven't had a chance to repay you yet. You saved me twice, and this time I must take care of you wholeheartedly."
Zhang Xin'ai, who was standing next to her, said, "Sister, let me take care of him this time. Chen Zhe got injured because of me, so I should be the one to take care of him."
Zhang Xinrui turned her head, pouting, and looked at Zhang Xin'ai, who looked exactly like her; "Sis! Didn't you say you weren't interested in Chen Zhe? Why are you trying to take him from me?"
Zhang Xin'ai looked embarrassed at the stares of everyone. She coughed and said, "Of course I'm not interested in him, but I'm a responsible person. This whole thing started because of me, so I have to take full responsibility!"
"Sis!! You don't need to do this! I can take care of Chen Zhe. I can take care of everything else for you!"
"No need, I want to do it myself!"
"Absolutely!"
Zhang Xinrui snatched the soup from her sister's hand and put it aside.
"Sister, you have a fiancé. You yourself said you wouldn't ruin the Zhang family's reputation!"
Zhang Xinrui's words only made Zhang Xin'ai more agitated. She picked up the soup from the table again and said, "That bastard and I are over. I'll break off our engagement when I get back!"
"You two sisters, stop arguing! I think I'll do it!"
Wang Qianqian grabbed the soup and squeezed to the front.
"Mr. Chen is our leader, so I should take care of him!"
Mei Xiaoting naturally took the soup from her hand; "Qianqian, you're right, President Chen is our leader. I'm relatively free lately, I have quite a lot of time..."
"Speaking of time..."
Lin Meiyu brought over the soup; "I have the most time. I've basically finalized all the deals I have, so I have some free time. I'm older here, and I have a lot of experience taking care of people..."
"President Lin, when it comes to being older and caring, I think that person is me!"
Wu Qingli stepped forward.
“I’ve been married and have children, so taking care of patients is just like taking care of children. I’m very experienced!”
"You can't say that!!"
Mo Xiaohong also stepped forward; "We technicians are trained on how to take care of people, so age doesn't matter at all. Mr. Chen used to be our roommate, so I know his lifestyle very well!"
"President Chen is also my roommate!"
"Yes, we all are!!"
A group of women started chattering in the ward, each one making a more plausible argument than the last.
As the saying goes, three women make a drama, so a group of women is like a swarm of bees, noisy and chaotic.
"Enough!!!"
Chen Zhe suddenly shouted.
A group of women were arguing when suddenly a man's voice rang out, and it was quite intimidating.
Chen Zhe pointed to Xiao Dingdong in the corner.
"Let Dingdong take care of me, everyone else go back!"
When Chen Zhe made his choice, the other women were all dissatisfied. In the end, it was Wan Ya and Mu Wanzhi, who were watching the show from the sidelines, who spoke up for justice.
“This little girl hasn’t said a word since she came in. She’s quite quiet, which is exactly what Chen Zhe needs right now. I think it’s a good thing.”
Mu Wanzhi said.
Wan Ya smiled and nodded; "Yes, I can see that you all mean well for President Chen. It seems that President Chen is very popular. But you also need to consider President Chen's health. He really can't stand your noise."
Given Mu Wanzhi and Wan Ya's ages and status, no one else dared to refute them further.
In the end, they could only accept having Xiao Dingdong take care of Chen Zhe.
After everyone had left, Chen Zhe breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
He looked at Xiao Dingdong, who was standing quietly to the side; "So, sometimes it's a good thing not to talk, at least it's not so noisy."
Xiao Dingdong smiled.
"Mr. Chen... you have many men outside!!"
Xiao Dingdong's speech was not standard, but it was much better than at the beginning, and Chen Zhe could at least understand it.
"Huh? What man?"
To express herself quickly, Xiao Dingdong wrote a message on her handwritten tablet: "[There are many men outside, they're all stuck at the stairwell and can't get in. Should we call them in?]"
"man?"
Chen Zhe realized that it must be his brother Wang De and the bodyguards, and he waved his hand.
"Forget it, I just want some peace and quiet now. Tell them all to go back."
"good!"
Xiao Dingdong was very obedient. She nodded and walked out, arriving at the stairwell where she met Wang De and the others.
"Ding-dong, how's my brother's health?"
Xiao Dingdong took out a writing tablet; [General Manager Chen said he's in good health and told everyone not to worry, to go back to work.]
"It's good that he's healthy. We couldn't even squeeze in just now. These women are terrifying. I'm glad he's alright. Let's go back now. Remember to call us if anything happens."
Mo Xiaohao spoke very quickly: "She's mute, how could she call you?"
Wang De tapped him on the head; "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. Dingdong is already starting to learn to speak, and she's already doing very well. No wonder you can't find a girlfriend. Your mouth is really not pleasing."
Mo Xiaohao snorted; "I just don't like dealing with women. My master said that women are all troublemakers. Look at President Chen now, every time he gets into trouble, it's because of women."
Upon hearing this, the other bodyguards were stunned, and Wang De was also unsure how to refute it.
"Sigh, what can I do? My brother is such a sentimental person. He's still the same as when I first met him. If I hadn't persuaded him back then, he probably would have been heartbroken and couldn't think straight."
A group of men started gossiping, but Xiao Dingdong wasn't interested in listening and turned back to her ward.
Seeing Xiao Dingdong bustling around serving him tea and water, Chen Zhe casually asked, "Has Gu Jingyan stopped bothering you?"
Xiao Dingdong, who was pouring water, paused for a moment, a bitter look flashing across her face, before shaking her head in relief.
"That's good. He's getting married, and the wedding invitation was sent to me. I thought about it and decided to tell you about it."
Xiao Dingdong nodded.
Then she handed the poured water to Chen Zhe; "Mr. Chen...! It's all in the past! Me and him, I want to...look forward!"
Seeing Xiao Dingdong's trembling hands, Chen Zhe knew that she still cared. He actually felt a little guilty towards Xiao Dingdong because he had done a lot of work to get her involved with Gu Jingyan.
"Dingdong, if you blame me, I can accept it. It's my fault that you're in trouble."
Xiao Dingdong shook her head.
“My benefactor! To Dingdong, Mr. Chen is my benefactor. You saved my brother and helped me. I will do anything to repay you for the rest of my life.”
Chen Zhe used his connections to help Xiao Dingdong's younger brother, Xiao Ming, get a heart transplant, actually out of guilt at the time.
In some ways, he almost ruined Xiao Dingdong's life.
"Dingdong, you are a kind person. Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything like being a slave. You and Xiaoming can rely on me from now on. Before, no one sheltered you from the wind and rain, so you suffered a lot. From now on, I can be that person. If anyone bullies you, you must tell me."
Xiao Dingdong nodded heavily, her eyes filled with tears.
...
In the evening, Mu Wanzhi and Wan Ya came in. After seeing them enter, Xiao Dingdong tactfully withdrew.
Chen Zhe knew they must have something to say to him, and he guessed what it was.
Mu Wanzhi said, "Chen Zhe, I just talked to District Chief Wan. There may still be some things she can't figure out. I hope you can help her understand them."
"President Mu, it's not that I can't understand it, but I dare not even think about your suggestion. The discovery of the treasure in Qingyun Mountain has already been reported, and I have no authority to leave the treasure in the East China Sea."
"District Chief Wan, that's not how it's said. This matter is entirely for the benefit of the people of Donghai City. I know it's a bit difficult, but we can still try to make it happen."
"How am I supposed to fight for it? Do you expect me to argue with those people in the capital? To be honest, my phone has been ringing off the hook since that report was submitted. They're all urging me to keep a close eye on this matter and make sure the treasure is handed over safely and completely. If I suddenly told them I wanted to leave the treasure in the East China Sea, they'd eat me alive."
Mu Wanzhi rolled her eyes. Clearly, she had already argued with Wan Ya, so she still placed her last hope on Chen Zhe.
"Chen Zhe, why don't you try to persuade her?"
"I????"
Chen Zhe really wanted to complain.
I'm just an ordinary citizen, a small businessman. If even your leaders can't solve this, you expect me to? You might as well let me kill Sun Wukong!
