Chapter 18: Gaining Sympathy
Jun Lan suddenly cried out "Wow", which scared Fan Xi who was present and Li Yu who was on the other end of the phone.
Li Yu: "Junlan, don't cry first. If you have anything to say, please tell me slowly. I will try my best to help you. If you have suffered any grievances and need to talk to someone, then I will hang up. You have the wrong person. I am very busy."
Jun Lan tearfully said, "Foreman, considering that I helped you once, can you please pretend that you never heard me say I wanted to resign?"
“Why do you want to come back to work?”
"Yes, foreman, just think of it as taking pity on me and helping me, okay?"
"But didn't you say you were getting married and going to work for your husband's company? Did something go wrong?"
"Foreman, it's hard to put it into words..."
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but the company isn't one where you can just come back whenever you want… How am I supposed to explain this to the people below me, and how am I supposed to explain this to the people above me…"
"Wuwuwu..." A heart-wrenching cry once again reached Li Yu's ears. The deafening sound almost broke her eardrum.
Li Yu: "Alright, alright, stop playing the victim here. I won't fall for it. I'll leave the job to you. Just work hard in the future. Why are you crying like a ghost now? When can you come back to work?"
When Junlan heard this, she burst into laughter.
"I can go to work the day after tomorrow."
"Well, remember to come to work the day after tomorrow! I have something to do, so I'll hang up now!"
Junlan hung up the phone contentedly, but completely ignored Fanxi who was watching in amazement.
Fan Xi: "I think you really have a broken brain. You just had the surgery and you're already going to work. If you really need money, you can talk to me. I will also raise money for you to buy a kidney! You can't even think of using your health to get back at me by killing me."
"You're the one who got your brain hurt. I'm an indestructible cockroach and a tough grass. Don't you believe me? I'm going to show you how tenacious my vitality is." After saying that, she picked up the red spider lily on the stage, stuffed it into her mouth and started chewing.
Fan Xi quickly pried open her mouth and tried to pick the petals out of her mouth, but it was too late, she had already swallowed all the petals.
"You are crazy, how dare you eat anything?"
"What do you know? That's a tonic, a tonic. It can kill a few tigers if you eat it." Jun Lan was about to get out of bed and perform a set of 24-style Tai Chi for Fan Xi to see, but found that she was still in too much pain to move.
At this point, Jun Lan couldn't help but start to doubt her life. What about the red spider lily? Was it all fabricated by Dai Qing to fool her? What she feared most was that all of this was just her imagination. Except for the fact that Fan Xi checked into a hotel with another woman and the car accident, the famous paintings, the soul leaving the body, Dai Qing, and the red spider lily were all fake. Oh no, could it be true as Fan Xi said, that she had really broken her brain and gone crazy?
When she thought of this, Junlan's head started to hurt again, and she could only lie back on the bed and pretend to rest.
Seeing her like this, Fan Xi didn't dare to disturb her rest anymore. He could only quietly leave the ward and go find Jun Lan's attending physician.
"Doctor Chen, does Lin Junlan have any other problems? She seems fine physically, but she's been acting weird since she woke up. Her personality is completely different. She even ate a flower raw right in front of me. I'm really worried. Is there something wrong with her brain?"
After carefully examining Junlan's brain CT scan, Dr. Chen said seriously, "Fanxi, if you were the family member of another wealthy patient, I would have arranged for her to undergo another series of brain scans. But my colleague, I'm telling you very seriously and responsibly that there's nothing wrong with your wife's brain. There's no damage or diseased tissue, she's doing perfectly fine. Also, regarding the issue you're reporting, I think you're being overly nervous. Aren't people of all ages interested in health these days? I've got a pot of chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea brewing right here. Since drinking scented tea is a way to maintain health, then eating flowers raw isn't surprising either. There's nothing to be surprised about."
"But, but, her personality has really changed a lot. She never used to swear, but now she uses foul language every other sentence."
"That's perfectly normal. According to medical science, it's a normal reaction to an injury. After a few days, once she's fully recovered, everything will slowly return to normal."
"Are there any other possibilities?"
"Yes, I have."
"Tell me what that is."
"That means her body might have been taken over by someone else. To put it simply, it's like she's been possessed by a ghost. The world is so vast and full of strange things, and all sorts of strange things can happen. Some things truly can't be explained from a scientific perspective, so we can't generalize."
Upon hearing this absurd conclusion, Fan Xi's face fell. He found it hard to believe that such nonsense could come from the mouth of a highly skilled Western surgeon.
Doctor Chen: "Why do you also think what I say is nonsense? That's right, so just trust me and trust science!"
Fan Xi was speechless for a moment and could only leave silently again.
When he was about to leave, Dr. Chen called him back.
"Mr. Zhang Fanxi, you're a smart man. No one has ever held the position of Financial Director of Wilson Hospital for a full year. You've taken on this hot potato, so you'll have to take care of yourself in the future."
Then he stuffed a red envelope into his hand and said, "I'm returning the red envelope your father-in-law gave me last time. I pretended to accept it that day because of you. This was just to give them some psychological comfort, otherwise they would feel uncomfortable."
Fan Xi turned around and looked at him, and said coldly: "Thank you very much, I'll trouble you to take care of Lin Junlan from now on." After that, he closed the door.
The next morning, Jun Lan, who had to urgently go to the toilet, could no longer hold it in and got up quickly.
After going to the toilet and coming back to sleep, Jun Lan suddenly found that the pain in her body had completely disappeared. Now she was so energetic that she wanted to go up the mountain to fight a tiger.
It turned out that Dai Qing had not lied to him. The red spider lily really had miraculous effects. However, she had instructed him to eat one petal every day. In order to be quick, he ate it all in one day. It turned out that it was too strong. It would probably take some time to fully absorb it.
She was eager to find a phone to call Fanxi, wanting to prove to him that she was in good health. But she saw Lao Lin, who was staying up late, lying on the table to rest. She couldn't bear to wake him up, so she could only tiptoe out of the ward to look for Fanxi alone.
Didn't he say he also works in this hospital? He'd definitely be here, so wouldn't I be able to find him by going to his office?
Jun Lan, whose life motto is to do what she thinks, did not say anything and started to grope around the dozens of floors of the hospital.
As she walked, her feet ached and she was almost exhausted of energy, but she still hadn't found Fanxi.
Forget it, you’re a directionally challenged person. How can someone who can’t even find a place he’s been to once find an office he’s never been to?
At this time, a nurse came towards her. Jun Lan quickly stopped her and asked, "Excuse me, where is the office of your new financial director, Zhang Fanxi?"
