However, even so, it is not easy to win in the end.
Duan Feng has his own advantages because he is an advanced individual in flood control and disaster relief.
Han Chen is no less impressive. He has performed very well in scientific research, especially in patents.
If it weren't for the flood, Duan Feng would have been inferior to Han Chen.
But that advanced individual gave Duan Feng a lot of extra points, and everything became confusing.
The more tense the situation is, the more a fatal blow is needed to break the balance.
Qi Tan: "Don't worry, Dean Yao has taken care of everything for you."
Duan Feng: "Speaking of which... why did Dean Yao give up on Han Chen? When Han Chen was first admitted to the hospital, Dean Yao thought highly of him."
Qi Tan: "The investment and return are not proportional."
Duan Feng: "I understand."
The world is bustling with people seeking profit, and the world is bustling with people seeking profit.
Dean Yao values Han Chen, and it's not in vain. His ability is one aspect, but more importantly, he can bring him other greater benefits.
For example, a promotion in position, or more realistic money.
He invested so much and always expected Han Chen to give him some return.
However, Han Chen did not, or rather, did not achieve what he expected.
So, Han Chen was "abandoned".
Duan Feng: "Didn't they say that the family behind Han Chen is very powerful?"
Qi Tan chuckled. "No matter how powerful they are, they can't be unstoppable. There will always be people who dislike them and want to overthrow them, such as... the people behind Li Zhengqin."
Duan Feng: "Hasn't confirmed who that person is yet?"
Qi Tan: "There are a few candidates, but I can't confirm them. They are all too influential, and I can't reach them at my level, or even Li Zhengqin's level."
Duan Feng: "As long as they are reliable, it doesn't matter who they are. As long as it is beneficial to us, it doesn't matter who they are."
Qi Tan: "That's true."
Duan Feng: "There are five spots in this selection, and Han Chen has a good chance of being selected. How can you guarantee that he won't be promoted?"
Qi Tan: "Don't worry about this, I have my own way."
Duan Feng: "What method?"
Qi Tan sneered and said, "A truly invincible person must be someone who is not trapped in his heart or confused by his emotions. Do you think Han Chen is such a person?"
Duan Feng suddenly became serious: "You want to get it from Zhou Mo..."
"Shh..." Qi Tan glanced at the kitchen window. "It's enough for us two to know about this. Be careful, there may be ears on the other side of the wall."
Duan Feng sneered and said, "If you don't tell me, we could be friends. Your despicable thoughts and sinister methods are exactly the same. You never act with conscience."
Qi Tan denied it, "Really? You seem to be quite conscientious lately."
He looked around the room at the decorations and asked with a smile, "There's free housekeeping to help with the cleanup. Isn't this all earned by your conscience?"
Duan Feng: "Stop teasing me."
Qi Tan said seriously, "So... what's going on between you and Ding Ning? If you like her, you'd better show your affection sooner rather than later. If you don't hurry up, my silly brother is still waiting for her."
Duan Feng smiled bleakly, "What if I give up? Will your Qi family be interested in a girl from a family like Ding Ning?"
Qi Tan said bluntly: "I don't like it. That's why I asked you to make a move sooner so that Qi Yan would give up sooner."
Duan Feng said coldly, "I'm not a recycler, and Ding Ning is certainly not someone else's unwanted item."
Qi Tan: "I don't have such thoughts. I just want Qi Yan to face the reality early. Ding Ning and him are destined not to be on the same path."
Duan Feng retorted: "Why do you think Ding Ning and I are the same kind of people?"
Qi Tan: "You've fallen in love with her."
His tone was very certain.
It must be to the extent that even Duan Feng was panicked.
Qi Tan continued, "If you didn't like her, you wouldn't have sent her home. You don't have to deny it. Qi Yan told me everything. That day after get off work, he was planning to send Ding Ning home, but you intervened, saying there was a stand-up comedy performance at Fangyuan Theater and took Ding Ning away. Your excuse was also lame, saying you were Ding Ning's brother. But you know you've been deceiving yourself, and at the same time, deceiving Ding Ning and Qi Yan."
Duan Feng said nothing, turned his face away and took a sip of tea.
Qi Tan's gaze followed Duan Feng's profile, "You're not Ding Ning's brother at all, are you?"
Duan Feng didn't look at him and asked, "Who said I'm not her brother?"
Qi Tan: "Then why don't you let her call you 'brother'?"
Duan Feng: "I simply don't want to hear her call me that, is that okay? Besides... I don't have a home, let alone a family or a sister."
Qi Tan: "Stop lying. When you visit the children at the orphanage, which one of them can't call you 'brother'? Why can't you call Ding Ning?"
Duan Feng: “…”
Qi Tan: "As a doctor, even if you have no conscience or moral integrity, you should know the dangers of incestuous marriage. You wouldn't be so stubborn as to oppose incest, right? But you have feelings for Ding Ning. What does this mean? It means that you and Ding Ning are not brother and sister at all."
Duan Feng put down his teacup and said calmly, "Even if you guessed right, so what?"
Qi Tan: "Not much, it just means that as your friend, I understand you very well. And... my silly brother is saved."
Duan Feng: "How can you be sure that I can help you get Ding Ning out of Qi Yan's heart? What if your silly brother really can't let go of Ding Ning?"
Qi Tan smiled confidently and asked, "Will you, Duan Feng, allow other men to covet your woman?"
Duan Feng's expression was frozen on his face.
It was a reaction that was completely exposed and went straight to the heart.
Qi Tan's questions were sharp and direct, and even Duan Feng couldn't defend himself or refute them.
Because he also wanted to know why he felt so uncomfortable when he saw Qi Yanshi with Ding Ning.
Why does he selfishly feel that Ding Ning should be his alone and no one else should have any say in her?
Obviously, Qi Tan gave him the answer.
"Now you can tell me," Qi Tan asked with a smile, "What's going on between you and Ding Ning? Don't try to fool me with that fake brother-sister story. I don't believe it. You treat her more than you've ever treated any other woman before. In fact... you deliberately didn't tell her the truth so that you could more easily exploit her sympathy and guilt for your lost brother, and make it natural for her to stay by your side, just like... now, circling around you and warming your house. Okay?"
Duan Feng clenched his fists, unable to endure any more, "Enough."
Qi Tan chuckled: "It seems that I was right about everything, and he got angry out of shame."
Duan Feng: "Can we have a good chat? If not, get out now!"
Qi Tan continued to tease, "Yo yo yo, look at that, you're angry now. Aren't you making things worse? Stop pretending and admit it. You just like Ding Ning."
Duan Feng raised his eyes and said firmly: "I didn't."
Qi Tan glanced at him and said, "Pretend, keep pretending. Let's see how long you can keep pretending."
