Worried that Song Mai would discover his identity, Chu Xing lowered his voice and said, "Come with me."
When Song Mai arrived, she saw Chu Xing and Ji Feng walking into the tent together.
She found it strange and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Assistant Lu.
"Madam, is there anything I can help you with?"
This form of address made Song Mai blush instantly, and she subconsciously said, "No need to be so polite, just call me Maizi."
"Yes, Mrs. Wheat."
Helpless, Song Mai waved her hands repeatedly: "No need to be so polite, you can just call me Miss Song."
"Yes, madam."
Seeing how persistent Assistant Lu was, Song Mai could only let him address her that way.
"I just saw Chu Xing and Manager Ji leave together. Do they know each other?" She couldn't help but wonder, since she had never heard of the two knowing each other before.
After hesitating for a moment, Assistant Lu finally mustered the courage to speak: "I don't know either. It's possible that President Chu and Yunxing have some business dealings, which is why they know each other."
Song Mai nodded thoughtfully, suddenly remembering that Chu had mentioned cooperation with Yunxing before. However, the sight of Chu Xing and Ji Feng leaving together just now made Song Mai suspicious. The two seemed to have different statuses; Chu Xing was in front, not like a business partner, but more like... a leader.
Song Mai felt something was very strange about the matter, whether it was her imagination or not.
Assistant Lu looked at her warily, noticing that she was beginning to have doubts, so he immediately reassured her, "Madam, I just saw what looks like government personnel have arrived. Why don't we go and take a look?"
Song Mai's attention was diverted, and she left immediately.
Assistant Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, silently holding his breath.
Chu Xing and Ji Fenghe went into a separate tent, and the two of them looked at each other quietly.
After a long while, Ji Fenghe suddenly laughed and said in a low voice, "Only now can I truly confirm that you are Mai Zi's husband."
“Young Master Ji is no simple man either,” Chu Xing said calmly, turning to look at him.
Now that the two are speaking frankly and openly, the situation is gradually becoming clearer.
“I know you don’t want to reveal your identity, so I won’t tell Mai Zi on my own initiative,” Ji Feng said calmly.
He ate wheat one after another, causing Chu Xing to subconsciously frown. Such intimate words sounded like a declaration of ownership, making it sound extremely awkward.
"Stay away from her."
Chu Xing spoke in a light tone, but his cold expression clearly showed his anger and annoyance.
This man's intentions were clearly hostile; his previous actions had already made Chu Xing feel threatened. Now that Ji Fenghe had said such things, Chu Xing had a vague idea of what was going on.
From this moment on, the two have become complete adversaries.
"Everyone knows that Master Yun has ulterior motives for getting close to Mai Zi. I won't expose you now, but you can't stop me from continuing to be friends with Mai Zi, can you?"
Chu Xing hadn't expected them to talk about poaching people so confidently.
It was just Ji Fenghe, so he wasn't too worried.
His feelings for Song Mai grew stronger, and the two of them were already like lovers.
Ji Fenghe understands that any effort he makes at this point will be in vain.
"You overestimate yourself. If I remember correctly, Young Master Ji should be worried about things at home right now, right? Everything is a mess. If I were Young Master Ji, I would be having a terrible headache right now."
Chu Xing smiled, a smile full of sarcasm.
The Ji family is in complete disarray; Ji Fenghe is like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river, barely able to save himself.
Ji Feng was powerless to refute, clenching his hands tightly, looking at Chu Xing with anger and embarrassment, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Watching Chu Xing's departing figure, he sighed heavily.
I am indeed no match for Chu Xing now, but the future is uncertain.
As Chu Xing stepped out of the tent, Song Mai rushed over anxiously, her eyes reddening.
"Ah Xing, my sister's condition is very bad right now. It seems like her old illness has relapsed." Song Mai said anxiously, pulling Chu Xing away quickly.
The "sister" she referred to was the girl who gave her candy, because Song Mai felt sorry for her and called her her sister.
Thinking of this, Song Mai said nervously, "Now everyone is stuck and the doctors are all helpless."
"Don't worry, try to contact the people outside. Human lives are at stake, we can't let them do nothing any longer." Chu Xing said in a low voice as he strode forward.
The girl's face was ashen, and she looked like she couldn't breathe.
She and her husband, Mu Qing, depended on each other for survival. She had suffered from asthma since childhood, but due to poverty, they couldn't afford treatment, so it had been left untreated until now.
She hadn't rested well these past few days, and the earthquake had made her even more anxious, so she suddenly had an asthma attack.
The remaining doctors had limited medical skills and lacked equipment, so all they could do was feed her medicine.
We've tried everything we could, and while the girl's condition has improved somewhat, it's just too severe to be relieved any further.
Chu Xing glanced at Assistant Lu not far away and said in a low voice, "Contact the government immediately and tell them to take immediate action."
Then, he lowered his voice and spoke in a tone only the two of them could hear: "Otherwise, we'll cancel the cooperation."
The local government's involvement in the public welfare projects can bring them a considerable benefit.
Once such news is released, the government will certainly not sit idly by.
Now that things have come to this, Chu Xing is no longer worried about exposing his identity. He cannot bear to see Song Mai cry; her tears fall heavily on his heart like knives stabbing into it.
Fortunately, Song Mai's attention was entirely focused on the girl, and she didn't notice Chu Xing's little actions at all.
It would take some time for the message to travel, and after much deliberation, Chu Xing decided to risk summoning the helicopter to bring in a doctor once again.
He now has no choice but to go there in person to let the other party know the seriousness of the matter.
He subconsciously turned to look at Song Mai and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll go out and get a doctor right away."
With the recent aftershocks in the disaster area, such behavior is tantamount to putting oneself in danger.
Song Mai gripped his hand tightly: "No, it's too dangerous."
If another earthquake occurs, all signals will be lost, and the helicopter will crash into the sea like a headless fly.
Such a scene was unimaginable to Song Mai; she couldn't bear to watch him die.
"Human life is at stake; there can be no more hesitation." Chu Xing gently embraced her, then resolutely got up and left.
