"oh?"
Upon hearing Xu Shi's words, Xie Qingyan quickly realized what was going on.
"Xu Shi, are you referring to that patient named Xia Ke'an, who looks like a little girl but is actually over forty?"
She stared at Xu Shi with a strange expression and asked.
It's clear that she had seen the white-haired girl's medical records and had some understanding of her.
Of course, she would never know that this was one of the leading figures in "Refraction" back then.
"...Yes, it's her."
Xu Shi nodded, thinking to himself that the way you said it always felt a bit strange...
However, entrusting "Prism" to treat Xia Ke'an's illness is something that needs to be put on the agenda.
Although I gave her a good scolding before and told her not to be foolish and to take care of her health, we can't leave her untreated forever. There's a difference between recuperation and complete cure, so we should get her a high-level character card as soon as possible.
The timing wasn't right before; she needed to recover to a certain level first. Her lack of technical skill was also a factor.
Now that there is purer "Rust Mist" ore and some technical references from the "Forgotten Ones," the situation will be much better—he doesn't believe Xie Qingyan hasn't refined these things and developed more efficient medical products.
Anyway, I've done similar things, so I figured that other women and dogs must have done the same.
"To be honest, I'm quite interested in this young patient, since it's rare to see someone with so many ailments."
Xie Qingyan said unhurriedly, "But... why should I treat her?"
"Um?"
Xu Shi feigned surprise, "Does healing and saving lives require a reason?"
Xie Jiang, your conscience is absolutely wicked!
You're a medical company! You actually need a reason to treat and save lives?
That's not how you be a capitalist!
Chairman Xu strongly condemned this.
However, the subtext was quite clear: the dog woman obviously wanted something in return, but in Xu Shi's opinion, the tenth district was already a benefit, and you're still not satisfied?
Woman, thy name is greed!
"I don't care, you just need to have a good reason."
Having finally gained the upper hand in the confrontation, Xie Qingyan was not about to give in so easily; her words even carried a hint of whining and coquetry.
That goes without saying. If she could get her hands on the entire Tenth District, she would agree to this without hesitation. But now that she only has half, it is clearly not enough for her.
Although it doesn't seem to be caused by Xu Shi, but... no, it just won't work!
Seeing her like this, he clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself, "You dog of a woman, are you having a fit of hysteria?" But since the other party said so, his attitude became more serious.
"Chairman Xie is a top medical student from a prestigious university. Do you still need to ask me for the reason behind this opportunity?"
Xu Shi spread his hands. "You know that Miss Ke'an's condition is rare. If you cured her, then in the future, other people's evaluation of you will include this, and not just... you know what I mean, right?"
It's not just about backstabbing and scheming.
"Secondly, I imagine there aren't many clinical trial samples for 'Prism's' newly developed products and technologies. If such challenging problems can be overcome, then we can confidently put them into use, right?"
"And also..."
"what else?"
Seeing that Xu Shi had stopped abruptly, Xie Qingyan pressed for an answer.
"I'll have to wait until Miss Ke'an has fully recovered before I can tell you."
Xu smiled slightly.
To be fair, the reason he gave fits the ten-word saying perfectly: "Hearing your words is better than hearing another."
These two reasons aren't very convincing, and Xie Qingyan certainly understands the logic behind them.
But even if there is valuable information, now is not the time to share it.
Xu Shi was quite shrewd. Treating Xia Ke'an was no small matter. The best approach was to give the horse grass to run, but not to let it eat too much.
He did indeed have other bargaining chips that Xie Qingyan was tempted by, but he certainly couldn't reveal them all at once.
If the tenth district is the deposit, then the rest is the final payment. If you give it all away, you'll be the only one who's in a passive position. You also have to consider whether the other party will take advantage of you and ask for more. After all, he can only rely on his good fiancée in this regard.
"..."
Xie Qingyan knew perfectly well that Xu Shi was keeping her hanging, but the situation didn't stop her from thinking it over.
First of all, although Xu Shi is a man full of bad ideas, he is not only good at getting something for nothing. If he wants to give you something useful, he can definitely do it, such as the tenth district that he just got.
And if I remember correctly, he seemed to value Xia Ke'an quite a bit, after all, he even visited her in person quite often... Good heavens, I've never heard of such a thing before!
"...Okay, then I'm really looking forward to what you'll be keeping us in suspense, Xu Shi."
She thought for a moment, then dropped the pretense and readily agreed, "However, I must be clear from the start, regarding her illness... 'Prism' can't say we're 100% certain."
"The city hasn't even been cured yet, how can you say discouraging things?"
Xu Shi wasn't worried about this at all. "Then I'll have to trouble my Qingyan with this."
The woman wasn't 100% sure, but this wasn't her only plan.
There's also Shen Qin, who might possess "superpower transplantation" technology... but that matter is still unclear. Besides, even if that's the case, we'll still need to rely on the power of "Prism" when the time comes, so it's always good to strengthen our relationship in advance.
"Okay, you're right."
Xie Qingyan smiled, then turned to Ye Shanshan and instructed, "Notify the medical department to assemble a highly skilled treatment team to create a customized medical plan for Chairman Xu's patients, building upon the existing team."
