Zhao Rong turned to Zhou Chengzhi and said, "Have you finished discussing it? Hurry up and take me home, my dad told me to get lost!"
Zhou Chengzhi originally wanted to discuss the details with Deputy Factory Director Zhao, so he said impatiently, "You can wait a little while, it's fine!"
"No way, if you don't leave, I'm going to puncture your tires!"
As Zhao Rong spoke, she pulled a dagger from her sock and gestured as if to stab Zhou Chengzhi's tire.
When Zhou Chengzhi saw that Zhao Rong had a dagger, he was terrified and rushed onto the road, saying, "Hey, why are you carrying a knife with you?"
Zhao Rong said with a touch of arrogance, "You're a grown man. What if you have ulterior motives? Can't I take this for self-defense?"
"you,,!"
"What do you mean, 'you'?! If you dare lay a finger on me, I'll stab you!"
Zhou Chengzhi said to Zhao Hujiang by the river, "Deputy Factory Director Zhao, is your daughter really that capable?"
Zhao Hujiang said, "My daughter is a chaste and virtuous woman, so don't you dare have any improper thoughts!"
"How could I possibly have any designs on her, a mere child? Besides, I'm a married man, about to become a father! Would I even have any ulterior motives? That's nonsense!"
Zhao Rong glared at Zhou Chengzhi, as if with some hatred, or as if to say, "Don't I have the looks to charm you?"
Zhao Hujiang said, "It's good that you're not in the mood. I'll trouble you, Boss Zhou, to take my daughter home. I'll talk to you about the cooperation later!"
Upon hearing about the collaboration, Zhou Chengzhi immediately perked up and said, "Great, great, I'll be waiting for you at the movie theater, Director Zhao!"
Zhao Hujiang waved his hand, indicating that Zhou Chengzhi could leave.
Zhou Chengzhi turned and got into the car, then turned to Zhao Rong and said, "Grandma, should I take you to the store?"
Zhao Rong suddenly rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you own a movie theater?"
"Yes! What's wrong?"
Do you have any erotic videotapes?
"You, you're just a little girl, how can your head be filled with such thoughts!"
Zhao Rong chuckled and said, "Learn something, huh? I'm not a kid anymore! I'm sixteen already!"
"I can take you to the movies, but not those kinds of movies; they're all horror!"
"Ah! Horrible? I dare not watch it, the screen is full of blood, it makes my heart tremble!"
"Then I'll find you two non-gory books to read!"
"Okay, thank you, Boss Zhou!"
Meanwhile, Song Ying and Xiang Pengfei, who went to see Huang Ling, arrived at the hospital and found Zhuang Chaoying eating the breakfast that Lin Dongzhe had brought him, while Huang Ling had a bowl of steaming millet porridge in front of her.
Upon seeing this, Song Ying said, "Teacher Zhuang, how can you treat yourself like this? If the food gets cold, just throw it away. Why eat it cold?"
Zhuang Chaoying gave an awkward smile and said, "Sigh, it's a shame to throw it away. Besides, it's in a plastic bag, so it's soft and not too cold. It's not winter!"
"Teacher Zhuang, this is a hospital, things get contaminated quickly, so it's best not to eat it if it gets cold!"
At this moment, Xiang Pengfei took the breakfast from Zhuang Chaoying's hand and said, "Uncle, don't eat anymore, I'll go buy you some food!"
Zhuang Chaoying stood up, trying to stop Xiang Pengfei, but Xiang Pengfei had already walked out the door.
Huang Ling smiled and said to Song Ying, "Song Ying, what brings you here?"
"I was worried about you, so I came to see you!"
"Oh, I feel pretty good today. I even went for a run earlier! I feel much better too. I'll be discharged in a couple of days. There's a lot going on at home, I can't stay in the hospital all the time!"
"Why are you still thinking about being discharged?"
"What's the point of staying in the hospital if you don't leave? You're spending money on food and drinks every day!"
"No, don't I still need to have surgery?"
"Song Ying! Let me tell you the truth! We don't have any extra money at home. Look, Tu Nan is about to recover, and he wants to get married and have children. I can't be a burden to him!"
"Sister Ling, how can you think like that? Just because Tu Nan is about to recover and can go back to work means one more person earning money and giving you hope for the future, you need to have the surgery even more!"
"The doctor said the surgery would cost fifty to sixty thousand yuan, but our family can't afford that much money right now!"
"Sister Ling, don't be silly. Don't forget, Dongzhe is also part of your family. As your son-in-law, he's practically your son! He'll pay for it for you, I guarantee it!"
“Song Ying, I know you feel sorry for me. We’ve been together for so many years, but your family has to make a living too! Xiaoting is about to give birth, and the baby will be a burden of debts and money!”
"It's alright! There are four of us in my family earning money, and we can't even support a little kid like him. Don't worry about us!"
At this moment, Xiang Pengfei brought over milk, instant noodles, bread, and two steaming bowls of beef noodles. He put the other things on the table, then opened a disposable box and placed it in front of Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, this is Lanzhou ramen. Please eat this!"
Huang Ling said with some heartache, "Pengfei, why are you wasting money again? Your uncle bought me millet porridge, which is enough for me. Why are you buying more?"
"Auntie, don't worry about this little bit. Millet porridge is nourishing, but it doesn't make you strong. It slows down recovery from injuries. It's nothing like beef noodles! Not only are they nutritionally complete, but they're also good for your health. Haven't you seen Westerners? They're all strong and healthy; they eat beef all the time!"
Song Ying chimed in, "Yes, yes, eat more meat, it's good for your health!"
Xiang Pengfei pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket, more than a thousand yuan, and handed it to Zhuang Chaoying, saying, "Uncle, buy my aunt some nice things. You can't skimp on yourself. Don't worry, your nephew is rich. Even if he can't come up with millions, he can easily come up with tens of thousands!"
Zhuang Chaoying looked at the money in Xiang Pengfei's hand but didn't dare to take it. He said, "Pengfei! Don't do this. In the future, you will have your own little family. Your parents, children, and wife will all depend on you. You can't be so extravagant. You need to save some money in case of emergency!"
"Take it, Uncle. It's okay. This is just the gas money for one of my cars. I have so many cars, I can just squeeze in and get out!"
"I,,!"
"Take it!"
Xiang Pengfei took the money and stuffed it into Zhuang Chaoying's hand, then turned to Song Ying and said, "Auntie, you stay here and talk to my aunt for a while. I'll be back in less than half an hour!"
"Okay, then take your time, no need to rush!"
Xiang Pengfei nodded, walked out of the ward, drove directly to the company, and then knocked on Zhou Yuxiang's office door.
Zhou Yuxiang saw Xiang Pengfei through the glass, got up to open the door for him, and asked, "What's wrong, Pengfei?"
"Does our company have any extra money in its accounts?"
"You know we just settled the accounts for our uncle this morning, and he withdrew 500,000 yuan right away. Why are you asking about the money?"
"My aunt is having surgery, and I want to give her the money!"
"Surgery? How much will that cost?"
"It's cancer surgery, and the doctor said it would cost at least 50,000 yuan. I'd like to use the money to help my aunt out first!"
"Fifty thousand? I'm afraid we don't have that much. These days, we have to advance the money to ship goods for others. The drivers have to pay three or five thousand for gas when they go out, so it's all out there. Right now, we can only come up with thirty or forty thousand!"
"Oh! We're still short by more than ten thousand?"
"You can't take it all, can you? What if something happens to the company? You need to keep some funds!"
"But the doctor said my aunt needs surgery in a week. If we can't afford it by then, it might delay her treatment!"
"Yes! You can put off anything, but you can't put off illness, because that can be a matter of life and death!"
"Yuxiang, think of something! My aunt can't be without this money. You know, Brother Tunan just went to America and spent over 100,000 yuan. She's going through a tough time right now!"
"Logically speaking, I can come up with fifty or sixty thousand yuan myself. You know we're starting a family now, and there will be plenty of expenses in the future. I don't want to put you in a difficult position then!"
"Yuxiang, we have to take this money, otherwise we'll be letting our aunt down!"
"I know you've lived at his house since you were little, and you're the one who injured Brother Tu Nan's leg, aren't you?"
"No, there's something else I haven't told you!"
"What?"
