In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan had rushed to the car, flung open the door, and carefully placed Qian Duoduo inside. Without hesitation, he got into the driver's seat and slammed on the gas. With a roar from the engine, the car shot off like an arrow, speeding towards the hospital at breakneck speed.
All the way, Lu Yuan's heart pounded wildly, the rapid thumping like deafening drumbeats. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, silently praying, "God, please protect Duo Duo and keep her safe!"
Fortunately, private cars weren't common in this era, and the car arrived at the hospital quickly. Lu Yuan, frantic with worry, carried Qian Duoduo into the emergency room, shouting for a doctor. Two doctors immediately rushed over, followed closely by nurses, and the group quickly gathered around, commencing a tense and urgent emergency rescue. Various medical instruments were deployed to monitor Qian Duoduo's vital signs. Lu Yuan stood by, anxiously watching everything unfold, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.
After a flurry of activity, the emergency room doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Lu Yuan, saying, "This patient has drunk far too much and has already started vomiting. But don't worry too much, her condition is currently stable. Let her rest for a while." Hearing this, Lu Yuan's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he quickly nodded his thanks.
Lu Yuan gently picked up Qian Duoduo again, slowly walked out of the hospital, and drove home. Back home, Lu Yuan gently settled Qian Duoduo on the bed and covered her with a soft blanket. Thinking about the chaos at the hospital, and how the girl had ended up drunk and asleep, this misunderstanding made Lu Yuan involuntarily smile as he looked at Qian Duoduo's sleeping face.
Lying on the bed, Qian Duoduo's brows were furrowed, and she occasionally let out a groan. Lu Yuan was heartbroken and sat by her side, watching over her without leaving her side for a moment, not daring to close his eyes. Throughout the night, he would get up to pour Qian Duoduo a glass of water, or whisper a few words of comfort to her, his heart filled with worry and concern. And so, Lu Yuan stayed by Qian Duoduo's side, spending a long and agonizing night.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Qian Duoduo slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was Lu Yuan beside her, looking both disheveled and haggard. She gently rubbed her aching temples, thinking to herself, "This deputy mayor is truly outrageous and utterly inhuman! Looks like I'll have to find a chance to have a serious talk with him."
Just then, Lu Yuan, who had been watching over Qian Duoduo the whole time, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her wake up. He then whispered to Qian Duoduo, "You really scared me yesterday!"
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo felt a little embarrassed. She vaguely remembered that Lu Yuan had taken her to the hospital, but she was so tired at the time that she couldn't even open her eyes. She had all sorts of tests done, so she just considered it a pre-hospital check-up!
She scratched her head sheepishly, then reached out and gently rubbed Lu Yuan's slightly tired face, replying apologetically, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I made you worry so much."
Lu Yuan sighed helplessly and comforted Qian Duoduo, saying, "I know what you're thinking, but I'm really impressed that you could drink with this vice governor to this extent. Does this mean that this project can't proceed without him?"
Qian Duoduo, who had just sat up, seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly said, "Oh right, speaking of this vice governor, when he came to Pengcheng last time, I wanted to build a shopping mall on the land next to Dongfang Huating, but it was this vice governor who blocked it. He stayed in Pengcheng for a week, and we met. Later, according to my sister-in-law, the vice governor seemed to be showing signs of softening his stance, so I was thinking of taking advantage of the time before the New Year to quickly get the approval for the shopping mall land. Who knew that in the end, this guy would secretly set me up? It's absolutely despicable!"
Lu Yuan patted his chest gently, looking at Qian Duoduo's pouting face with doting affection, finding it adorable. He smiled and said, "Leave this to me!" However, Qian Duoduo slowly shook her head, indicating, "Don't be in such a hurry. Let me rest for a couple of days first. After I've recovered enough, we'll go visit Uncle Jiang together."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, then asked curiously, "Which Uncle Jiang?" As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something, "Oh~ I know, it's that big boss from Guangdong Province!"
Qian Duoduo smiled and nodded, replying, "That's right, it's him. Do you remember when we got married? Back then, Dad introduced me to Uncle Jiang. Now that the New Year is coming soon, I figured I should at least pay him a visit."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile broadly. He reached out and gently tapped Qian Duoduo's small and adorable nose with his finger, saying affectionately, "Alright, I'll do whatever you say, Madam!"
Qian Duoduo rubbed her temples and said slowly, "Actually, before we married, I had only heard of this big boss but never met him. I'd long wanted to visit him, but I was always too busy with various matters to find the time."
Lu Yuan continued thoughtfully, "But since we've decided to go this time, we need to prepare properly. Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll make sure everything goes smoothly!" Qian Duoduo nodded happily, her eyes full of trust and anticipation.
Lu Yuan picked up Qian Duoduo and carried her to the bathroom, saying, "You go wash up first, I'll go prepare for this."
Qian Duoduo nodded, watching Lu Yuan's departing figure. She sighed. She had always wanted to be independent, but connections were something a country girl like her couldn't provide. However, she could now rely on a powerful family for support. With the Lu family as her backing, she had received a lot of protection.
Lu Yuan dialed the number he had just saved in Qian Duoduo's phone book. He had gotten this number with great difficulty from his father's chief secretary, and it was also the private number of Jiang Bohan, the Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee! Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for anyone other than a very close person to know this number.
