Ye Kai couldn't help but vomit in the car. There was no preparation in the car, and everyone was confused. Chen Youhan used his suit worth more than 30,000 yuan as a vomit bag for him. After vomiting once and resting for a few minutes, he vomited again. Chen Youhan was furious and cursed, asking the driver how he drove. It was Gu Xiu who smoothed things over: "It might be a concussion."
Ye Kai's eyes went dark, and everything he saw was double. The left side of his face was covered in blood, which looked shocking on his pale face. The pocket handkerchief he used as a handkerchief to cover the wound was soaked before he arrived at the hospital, but fortunately the blood had coagulated.
This is a private tertiary hospital jointly established by GC and Hong Kong capital. When the business car stopped at the outpatient department, the director was already waiting at the door with the most senior surgeons and nurses in the hospital. Gu Xiu did not explain the severity of the situation on the phone, only saying that the patient was hit by a heavy object, and because he was an important person, the hospital needed to clear the treatment passage immediately.
The stretcher and hospital bed were ready, and the top team was on standby. The electric car door was forcefully pushed open, and Chen Youhan got out.
The dean and Chen Youhan had met at the opening ceremony and several cocktail parties. He was always suave and calm, with the aura of a natural superior. But today he was in a mess. Not only were his clothes messy and he was sweating, but his eyes were also cold. In a blink of an eye, he turned around and picked up the injured. When the dean looked again, the young master's face had become gentle, and his tyrannical aura had subsided.
He went up to him, but seeing that the injured man looked pale but calm, he asked, "Are you conscious?"
The chief surgeon caught up and heard the young sponsor speak quickly and calmly, "He was hit by an ashtray from two meters away thirty-five minutes ago. He bled and couldn't stand on the spot. He vomited twice in the car, has a low body temperature, sees double, has black vision, and has type O blood."
Ye Kai grabbed the front of his shirt and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. When he was put on the stretcher, Chen Youhan caught him and pinched his fingers; "Still laughing."
The chief surgeon immediately realized that everyone was making a big deal out of nothing, and hurriedly comforted them, "It may be a mild concussion, it's not a big problem, don't worry too much."
The dean warned him with his eyes, and said skillfully: "This symptom can be serious or minor. Only after an examination can we make a definitive diagnosis. It is normal to be nervous."
Tea and fruits had been prepared in the conference room for the GC group to rest, but Chen Youhan had no interest in doing so. Company matters could not wait any longer, so he sent Gu Xiu and the others back and only stayed behind.
The nurse cleaned and disinfected Ye Kai's wound. The wound was not deep, about half the length of an adult's finger joint, and was behind the hairline. In order to make it easier to bandage, a little hair was shaved off. When Qu Jia rushed over, the wound had already been sutured and was wrapping gauze around Ye Kai's wound.
Chen Youhan sat in front of Ye Kai, his elbows propped up on his knees, his hands clasped together, holding Ye Kai's hand in his palm. He tilted his chin up with an anxious and pious look, and the man who always paid attention to his demeanor now had stubble on his chin. Qu Jia looked at the door for a few more seconds, feeling strange, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
The nurse hurt him, Ye Kai groaned softly, Chen Youhan's face changed, and Qu Jia rushed in immediately.
There were a lot of people outside the bandaging room, and many family members were queuing up, so her figure did not stand out.
"Baby? Does it hurt?"
Qu Jia stopped and heard Chen Youhan asking.
Ye Kai did not answer. He recognized Qu Jia's figure from the corner of his eye, and remained in his position, saying obediently, "Mom."
Chen Youhan only then realized Qu Jia's presence. She naturally let go of Ye Kai's hand and stood up to greet her: "Auntie."
Qu Jia ignored him and asked Ye Kai directly: "How is it? Have you had a check-up? Nurse, is it serious? Will it leave scars?"
"Whether or not scars will be left depends on one's constitution. Some people have a constitution that causes scars to grow." The nurse's hands became gentler, she glanced at Ye Kai and smiled, "It doesn't matter if scars are left. The hair will cover them." She applied tape to fix it, and then she packed up the tweezers and bandages. "Okay, let's go get checked. Do you still feel like vomiting?"
Qu Jia's face changed when he heard this: "Vomiting?"
"It may be a mild concussion." The nurse said stiffly, glancing at Chen Youhan, thinking that she might have said something wrong.
Ye Kai stood up, feeling dizzy for a moment, and closed his eyes and put his hand on his forehead. Chen Youhan put his arm around his shoulders without saying anything, and said calmly, "Lean on me."
The doctor arranged for an MRI. During the few minutes of the examination, Qu Jia and Chen Youhan sat on a bench together and waited. She crossed her legs, and her feet and calves were stretched straight in her red sheepskin high heels, just like her aura at the moment.
"Xiao Kai, I will take him home directly."
Chen Youhan was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
"When you have time, arrange for someone to pack up his things and send them over at a certain time."
Chen Youhan replied simply and awkwardly: "...Okay."
"The subsequent internship was cancelled. He needs to rest."
Chen Youhan did not struggle and took a deep breath: "...Okay."
He had never been so nice to Qu Jia before. From his attitude, emotions to his tone, everything was filled with a kind of dejected resignation. Qu Jia finally couldn't help but get angry: "I handed Xiao Kai over to you, not to let you take him to such a dangerous rights protection site. He is young, and you are immature? He is making trouble, and you are also confused?"
Chen Youhan wiped his face, the bloodshot eyes still there: "Sorry, sorry, it's my fault."
Seeing him like this, Qu Jia couldn't lose his temper. All his anger was suppressed in his heart. After a few breaths, he asked with a stiff and caring tone: "GC is in this situation now, can you spare time?"
"I'll give it to the assistant."
Gu Xiu had already been sent back to the company by him, and Chen Youhan only bought himself two hours.
Qu Jia said sternly: "It's no use for you to stay here, you might as well go back and clean up the mess."
Chen Youhan curled his lips in self-mockery when he heard this. He had gone crazy and lost his composure in front of the media, and the public opinion in the next 72 hours might kill him. This was indeed a mess, the worst, most absurd mess since he took over.
"I'll go back after I make sure Xiaokai is okay."
After five minutes, Ye Kai came out slowly, holding onto the wall. He was a little sleepy and not in good spirits. Chen Youhan noticed this, but didn't dare to act rashly. He asked for his opinion softly, "Can I carry you to lie down for a while?"
Ye Kai glanced at Qu Jia. He nodded, maybe his brain was damaged, and he put his arms around Chen Youhan's neck in front of Qu Jia. Chen Youhan carried him sideways. There was a VIP lounge nearby, which had been cleared. It was easy for him to carry her and he walked steadily. Ye Kai leaned against his chest and closed his eyes. After a while, he said, "I'm hungry."
Chen Youhan replied immediately: "I'll go buy you some food right away. Have some porridge first? Then go home and have a good meal after reading the report."
Ye Kai hummed, a very clean nasal sound. In the dim darkness, he felt Chen Youhan gently put him on the bed. The door was closed, Ye Kai opened his eyes, and saw Qu Jia's complicated eyes. He half sat up with a pillow, pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I made you worry."
Qu Jia sat down on the edge of the bed: "Why does Chen Youhan call you baby?"
Ye Kai had already prepared the answer. He paused for a moment and replied in an embarrassed but serious tone, "He did it on purpose. He was just teasing me."
"Are you and him too close?" Qu Jia tried his best to downplay it.
"We have always been like this, but you just don't know." Ye Kai replied casually.
Qu Jia finally couldn't help but said: "He likes men after all."
Ye Kai looked up in surprise, frowned, and then smiled with relief, "So what? Didn't you know this a long time ago?"
Qu Jia brushed the soft hair on his forehead and asked, "Why don't you have a girlfriend at school?"
"Mom, what do you want to ask?" Ye Kai pursed his lips and raised half of his lips, "I don't have a girl I like."
Qu Jia gave birth to Ye Kai at an advanced age, and accompanied him for eighteen years with strictness and love. Ye Kai was as pure as boiled water in front of her, and never lied. She looked at Ye Kai, trying to see some clues of guilty evasion in his eyes, but there was none. Ye Kai was frank and fearless, which made her strange suspicion even seem a little dirty.
"I've already told him that he doesn't need to go for the next internship. You can stay at home and prepare for the TOEFL. When the senior year starts, try to get a satisfactory score this time. After school starts, just prepare for the college entrance examination."
“Is there any reward for being admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University?”
Qu Jia laughed and said, "You are quite ambitious."
"What if I pass the exam?" Ye Kai asked stubbornly, his eyes dark and bright, with a light that Qu Jia could not understand.
"Okay, if you really get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, what do you want?"
"Grant me one wish," Ye Kai stared at Qu Jia, "unconditionally."
Qu Jia thought he was just a child and agreed. Ye Kai opened the voice memo on his phone and said, "I want to record it." He repeated the conversation again in front of Qu Jia's expression, clicked Save, and said seriously, "Save one copy in the mailbox, one copy in the hard drive, and another copy in the network disk."
Qu Jia took his phone——
"Don't delete it!" Ye Kai wanted to snatch it.
"Who deleted it?" Qu Jia glanced at him with amusement, "The contract will only take effect after both parties receive it. Mom will save a copy for you."
As he spoke, his fingertips moved to the WeChat icon. Ye Kai's face changed, and he snatched the phone away. His movements and strength were out of control, and he said in panic, "I, I'll send it to you!"
Qu Jia didn't see the secret in his phone, didn't see the dialog box that was pinned to the top, didn't see the conversation with Chen Youhan's name on it, the latest one was the message he sent to him at 11 o'clock last night, "I miss you."
"Didn't you say you weren't in a relationship?" Qu Jia folded his arms, crossed his legs, and looked at Ye Kai leisurely.
The whole Ye family was troubled by her appearance. Ye Kai tightly grasped his phone and said, "No, it's just... someone is pursuing me."
Qu Jia said noncommittally: "It's fine to just date her for fun, just don't let it affect your grades." He then reminded: "Don't do anything rash if you're really dating her, and be respectful to girls."
Ye Kai's face turned red, and he simply closed his eyes and said he was dizzy, thus avoiding Qu Jia's death scrutiny.
The doctor knocked on the door with the X-ray in his hand, followed by Chen Youhan carrying a paper bag.
"It's okay, it's a mild concussion. Rest quietly for the next two weeks. Don't exercise or overuse your brain. Be careful about what you eat. Eat more light and nourishing foods. As for the scar on your forehead..." This little thing doesn't need the chief surgeon to remind him, but the eldest son of the sponsor's family was standing behind him. He gritted his teeth and said in detail, "I'll prescribe two tubes of scar removal gel. After the wound scabs over, apply it every day. It won't be a problem. Don't eat spicy and irritating foods, and be careful about foods with heavy pigments."
Chen Youhan felt relieved and accompanied Ye Kai to finish half a bowl of porridge. When they returned to the company, exactly two hours had passed.
It was past the end of the work day, but none of the executives dared to leave, and they were all waiting in their respective offices. Zheng Juefan had already made plans to lead the PR department all night tonight. The surveillance footage had been retrieved, and he had contacted several media executives directly. After getting the original footage, he found that the shooting angles and integrity were different, but Chen Youhan's curses were all clear without exception. Only two media outlets recorded the rights defenders using violence first.
As soon as Chen Youhan entered the office, Zheng Juefan reported: "We have informed the media, but the footage taken by mobile phones at the scene has been leaked online. At present, public opinion is still under control."
Chen Youhan nodded, untied his steel watchband, and threw it on the desk without mercy. He then took off his tie and ordered, "Just keep a low profile. Keep an eye on all platforms. There will definitely be media outlets involved tonight." He then said to Gu Xiu, "Have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"
"It's Meihui." Gu Xiu nodded to Zheng Juefan, motioning him to go out and close the door.
There were only two people left in the office, and Gu Xiucai continued, "Meihui had already heard about the new policy, and GC was deliberately kept in the dark."
This contains multiple unfinished meanings. Meihui has always been GC's number one rival in the province. The positioning and strategies of the two sides are very similar. After Chen Youhan took over, he took the lead in public relations and then began to suppress them in the market. Since Chen Nanzhu took the lead in creating a split in the group's public relations department, coupled with the major changes in the Ningshi team, GC has been marginalized unknowingly. Now, the emperor has his own ministers, and the people have left and the tea has been cold. The glory of GC has now become a fishbone stuck in the throat.
"Ask the HR department to check the recent movements of the senior executives, who has gone out for interviews, who has contacted headhunters." Chen Youhan indifferently poured the remaining water in the cup into the flower pot, then sprayed some water with the spray bottle, and said in a flat tone: "Especially the heads of marketing departments at all levels from top to bottom, start with the director."
Gu Xiu hadn't thought of this, but then he understood. Today, this move was directed precisely at Ye Kai, and it was obvious that he had received the news in advance and knew someone. After giving instructions, Chen Youhan picked up the lighter, lit a cigarette, and took a deep sip: "Let the security department find the person who smashed the ashtray and find out the details."
"You——" Gu Xiu was stunned and stared at him in disbelief: "What do you want to do?"
Chen Youhan didn't give a clear answer, but asked expressionlessly: "If something really happened to Ye Kai, what do you think I would do?"
Gu Xiu didn't dare to speak, let alone look Chen Youhan in the eye. He lowered his head to digest it for a while, then said with difficulty: "I understand."
Chen Youhan smiled coldly: "There are accomplices at the scene, let's find them together."
"They are all owners," Gu Xiu said stupidly, "What accomplices?"
"Gu Xiu, there are still some things that Tsinghua can't teach you." Chen Youhan put out his cigarette and stood up. "The gang committed the crime and took the money to cause trouble. Find evidence and transfer it to the legal authorities. Don't let any of them go."
Gu Xiu's back, which was covered with cold sweat, suddenly relaxed: "Damn it, I thought——"
"You think I'm involved in organized crime?" Chen Youhan smiled, "It's not impossible, but I won't use it on Ye Kai."
Gu Xiu was speechless and cursed in his heart.
"Meihui hasn't even cleaned up her own apartments. You asked General Manager Qi Ming from the Strategy Department for information and asked Zheng Juefan to expose the issue to the media. The owners of the fine decoration issues have been fighting for their rights for many years. It's time to send them off."
Gu Xiu wanted to say something but stopped.
"What do you want to say?" Chen Youhan poured a glass of water. There were faint dark circles under his eyes, but his posture was relaxed.
Gu Xiu said honestly: "You are so scary."
After reading the information given to him by Qi Ming from the Strategy Department, he felt that Chen Youhan was not only scary, but horrible. The entire hard drive was full of negative information about Meihui, including photos, recordings, interviews with owners, some of which had already been brought to court, with very clear written records, and some of which were settled privately, with shocking means. Every single incident was categorized, no matter how big or small, and could be published as a special topic in the media that night. This was aimed at consumers, and there were deeper issues... engineering, fire protection, land use approval - Gu Xiu raised his head in horror and said to the head of the Strategy Department: "Fuck?"
You guys are such a pervert!
Qi Ming patted him on the shoulder and said a wise saying that Chen Youhan had once passed on to him: "The Strategy Department is not just about acquiring land."
"...I won't be silenced, right?"
Hard disk encryption, computer encryption, network encryption, all data can only be viewed on this computer, and if you want to copy it, you must know the key. Qi Ming always smiled and said nothing: "Pick what you need."
Gu Xiu copied the information and was about to go find Zheng Juefan, just as he ran into him running towards him like a gust of wind. He pushed open the glass door and saw Chen Youhan standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought.
He half turned around, his eyes dark and unclear. Zheng Juefan's Adam's apple rolled, and after taking a breath, he said calmly: "Hot search on all platforms."
The hot search terms are very consistent, revealing the arrogance of developers——
#GC What the fuck are you doing#
Chen Youhan nodded, indicating that he understood, and did not ask Zheng Juefan how to deal with it. The PR department has already taken action, and he is only responsible for setting the tone. If Zheng Juefan interferes in everything, he might as well quit. Gu Xiu handed the information to Zheng Juefan: "Can you muddy the waters of public opinion? There is no point in passively taking a beating in a war of public opinion." He could not help but get angry: "The other party started it first, and putting the full version up might be able to reverse the situation."
Chen Youhan smiled and brushed off the cigarette ash from his fingers. Tuo Meihui couldn't save GC by jumping into the water. No matter how he retaliated, GC was already in a passive position in the market and in public opinion. Everyone would criticize the arrogance of developers and capitalists. Even if his lover was hurt first, public opinion would not praise him for his rage for his beloved. Money and class made his life smooth and he enjoyed wealth and glory. He naturally lost the qualification to plead for fairness and justice in this context.
Personal love, hate and vengeance are nothing more than a gun in the vast context of social issues.
He had his back to the French window. Outside the window was the ever-bustling city of Ning. The banks of the river were as bright as stars. Cruise ships with lights on shuttled back and forth. All the buildings in the CBD were glowing. This was a vast dream of money, reflecting him and supporting him.
Chen Youhan, the man standing in the center of the bustling city in Gu Xiu's eyes, held a cigarette between his lips and raised the corner of his mouth to him: "Everyone, I'm sorry, be prepared to be demoted and have your salary reduced with me."
