Seeing Yan Xiyue and Gongsun Shengyi come downstairs with smiles on their faces, Meng Lingzhu felt much relieved and called out, "You two, come and eat quickly."
"Okay," Yan Xiyue smiled and went over to sit down. Seeing the sumptuous dinner on the table, she felt a little unhappy. She turned to Meng Lingzhu and asked, "Mom, can you teach me how to cook?"
Meng Lingzhu was taken aback, thinking to herself: Why is this girl thinking about learning to cook?
Yan Xiyue pleaded, "Mom, please teach me!"
Meng Lingzhu shook her head helplessly. "I can teach you, but don't be afraid of getting dirty or causing trouble."
"Yes, yes! I will learn diligently!" Yan Xiyue nodded hurriedly, thinking to herself: This time I will learn how to cook well and see how Lin Momo will dislike me!
However, in the eyes of Yan Xiyue's father, Yan Zhong, Yan Xiyue's behavior was an attempt to gain favor with Gongsun Shengyi.
Gongsun Sheng looked at Yan Xiyue with a smile, and didn't forget to put some food on her plate, saying, "Sister Yueyue, you must not have eaten well outside, eat more."
Yan Xiyue glanced at Gongsun Shengyi, smiled, and nodded, "Thank you."
"Haha, we're all family now, no need for formalities. Come on, Shengyi, have a couple of drinks with me." Yan Chong said with a smile, "Seeing that you two are still as close as you were when you were kids, I'm relieved!"
Yan Xiyue didn't say anything after Yan Zhong said that, since Gongsun Shengyi had already reached an agreement with her. Instead, she lowered her head and ate her food in silence.
Seeing her like this, Yan Zhong became certain of his idea.
After dinner, Gongsun Shengyi tactfully made an excuse to leave, while Yan Xiyue couldn't wait to learn how to cook—
At the Third Hospital, Dean Gao, as the hospital's director, is already extremely busy, and of course, the same is true for other hospitals.
"Dean, we don't have enough beds. There are still 13 patients without beds," the head nurse rushed in and said anxiously.
Wearing a mask and protective suit, Dean Gao spoke with a solemn expression, "Go and clear out five offices."
"OK."
"Dean, we're out of protective suits."
Dean Gao said irritably, "If you have no stock, why don't you hurry up and find a supplier!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Dean Gao put down the medical record in his hand, his face full of worry. "What exactly is going on? Could it be that the S virus from a hundred years ago has mutated?"
Ring ring ring
Dean Gao's landline rang. "Hello? This is Dean Gao."
An urgent voice came from the other end of the phone: "Old Gao, this is Director Li from the Second Hospital. We don't have any beds available here. Do you have any vacancies?"
"No, that's all. Your place is a large compound, how come there aren't any beds left?" Dean Gao asked疑惑地, his voice sounding tired.
“It is a large compound, but you know how densely populated this area is. Most of them have come to my hospital, and there’s really nothing we can do now!” Dean Li said.
Dean Gao sighed and said, "I don't have any room here either. I just gave up all my offices."
"Old Gao, this is a very serious matter!" Dean Li suddenly became serious. "We need to notify the mayor to impose a citywide curfew."
"Martial law?!" Dean Gao glanced outside the office, and seeing no one was around, whispered, "Dean Li, martial law might worsen the situation. You must remember that we can't let people's hearts be thrown into chaos!"
"How can we manage so many people? There are already over three hundred people. If we don't impose a lockdown and quarantine, do you want the whole city to get infected?" Dean Li exclaimed anxiously.
“Well… alright, I’ll contact the mayor in a bit,” Dean Gao said.
"Okay, okay, I'll call Dean Liu of the First Hospital right away. The three of us will explain the situation together, and we'll definitely get your attention." Dean Li then hung up the phone.
Dean Gao put down the phone and was about to call the mayor when his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Dean Gao was startled; it was Xuan Tiandao's contact number. After some thought, Dean Gao closed his office door before daring to answer the call.
"Dean Gao, I hope I didn't disturb your rescue?" Xuan Tiandao asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"What...what do you want?" Dean Gao asked nervously. "Let me tell you, even if you threaten my wife and children, I will not obey your orders!"
"Hehe, don't get excited, Dean Gao's wife and children are still here with me, all right!" Xuan Tiandao said, looking at the middle-aged woman and the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy beside him. "Come on, say hello!"
"Dad, save me!" The boy, his face covered in blood and bruised like a pig's head, cried out urgently.
"Son! Don't be afraid, Dad will definitely save you!" Dean Gao's heart tightened, and he spoke urgently.
“Madam Gao, don’t you have anything to say?” Xuan Tiandao asked with a smile as he looked at the middle-aged woman.
The woman had an ordinary appearance, but spoke with an upright expression, "Old Gao, this man is not a good person. Don't trust him easily. If he dares to kill my son and me, you should ask Boss Lin to avenge us!"
Xuan Tiandao coldly gestured to his subordinates, who immediately dragged the middle-aged woman away, followed by a heart-wrenching scream.
Dean Gao's hand trembled as he held the phone. "What have you done? Release Afang! Afang, Afang! Say something!"
Xuan Tiandao snorted coldly, "Dean Gao, your wife is being a bit disobedient. I'll send someone to talk to her."
"You bastard, you shameless bastard!" Dean Gao's eyes reddened with anger.
"Don't rush, don't rush, I'm not threatening you, Dean Gao, but I want to cooperate with you!" Xuan Tiandao said with a smile. "I have a special medicine here that can solve the source of the disease. I wonder if you want it?"
"What?" Dean Gao asked in disbelief, "You, you have a way? Do you want money?"
