Chapter 37 The Su Family and the Jiang Family
Xinghai is a quintessential southern city, boasting year-round springtime and breathtaking scenery. Its affiliated counties, many of which are situated on the border, add a touch of exotic charm. Its rich mineral resources catapulted it to national fame, and the Su family prospered from the mining industry. However, resources eventually become depleted. Leveraging its advantageous geographical location, the Su family, with government support, has vigorously developed tourism, creating a frontier city where neon lights harmoniously coexist with a wild and mysterious landscape. The surge in passenger traffic has boosted light industry, and this rapid growth has attracted investors from across the country. The Su family has undoubtedly contributed greatly to Xinghai's prosperity.
But being located on the border, many unexpected situations are inevitable.
Jiang Yuexing arranged the meeting place to be in a small village under the jurisdiction of Xinghai.
“There’s still resistance.”
As dinner was almost over, Jiang Yuexing finally got to the point.
"The resistance is not in Xinghai." Director Su put the teacup on the table and crossed his fingers.
"Xinghai can't solve it, but Mr. Su can." Jiang Yuexing lit the sandalwood on the tea table, and the green smoke slowly swirled up.
"How can I interfere in your business?" Director Su did not move.
"Same as Mincheng." Jiang Yuexing still insisted.
"Xinghai is different from Mincheng." Director Su knew about the deal that Jiang Yuexing had been planning recently.
"I can make it the same for us." Jiang Yuexing insisted on cooperating with Director Su. He realized that this business would definitely not be done without Director Su.
“We all have instability.”
"This business has nothing to do with your young master." Jiang Yuexing knew that Director Su didn't want to involve Su Qingyan.
"I went to Mincheng just to get out of this mess."
"With the support of Mincheng, we can make money like water."
Director Su put his hand back on the teacup.
They throw bait to each other, and the players take the bait voluntarily, becoming one with each other without distinction.
Xiao Han sent the invitations and wedding candy to the ward the day before the New Year's Day holiday. With the wedding date approaching, everyone in the family, except him, was bustling with joy. He was on duty on New Year's Day. As soon as he arrived at the ward that morning, the nurses joked that the groom had arrived. He felt a little absent-minded after completing his rounds, but before he could start to feel melancholic, a patient with gallstones was sent to the emergency room. By the time they finished treating him, it was already afternoon. Xiao Han returned to the ward from the operating room, closed the door to the duty room, leaned against the cabinet, and sighed heavily.
This means marrying someone who has nothing to do with you.
He thought about it again. He had sent out all the invitations he needed, so it seemed he hadn't forgotten anyone. WeChat messages were filled with congratulations and well-wishes for his wedding. Some classmates and friends who couldn't make it had directly transferred money via WeChat red envelopes. After Xiao Han carefully replied to everyone, he habitually opened his Moments and took a quick look. The first message was from Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng actually posted a photo of himself?
Xiao Han recognized at a glance that the person holding the little tiger was Zhou Cheng himself.
Then I immediately realized that I hadn't sent an invitation to Zhou Cheng yet.
Before the wedding electronic invitations were sent out, Feng Junchi called.
"Busy?"
“Just got off the stage.”
"I ordered a casserole porridge from the place you like, and it will be delivered to you later."
"Brother Chi, what time will you arrive?"
"Almost there. I'll be there when you get off work."
"I'm going to have dinner there tonight," Xiao Han paused, "I don't want to go."
"You still have to do what you need to do to save face. When you're done, I'll have something delicious with you."
"Why."
Xiao Han sighed again. He didn't know whether this was right or wrong. He was the type of person who liked to lie down and let things go. He could have just dragged it along like Zhou Cheng did, but Feng Junchi saw that he was at loggerheads with his family every day, and felt sorry for him so he gave him this idea. He agreed without thinking much at the time, but now he started to hesitate.
"Let me tell you a little gossip."
"Huh?" Xiao Han was a little surprised. Feng Junchi was not the type of person who liked to talk about gossip.
"I'll tell you when we get there."
"No, you've already started talking." Xiao Han immediately became a curious baby.
"Just smile first."
"Are you annoying—"
"Doctor Xiao, the patient is back." Xiao Han was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"I'm going to get busy now."
Feng Junchi heard Xiao Han hastily hang up the phone and smiled at the phone. It would be better to keep busy so that he wouldn't be constantly overthinking. Then he clicked on the WeChat interface and saw the number of likes on Su Qingyan's new Moments skyrocketing.
This Zhou Cheng is really capable. He has the young boss under his thumb. It will be necessary to ask Xiao Han who this Zhou Cheng is in the evening.
Xiao Han ultimately didn't attend the evening family dinner. The patient who had undergone surgery during the day had a worsening condition, and Xiao Han stayed in the ICU until the early hours of the morning, gradually turning the corner. Finally getting off work, Xiao Han saw Feng Junchi still waiting for him, and, exhausted, sat down on the bed in the duty room.
"Are you tired?" Feng Junchi stood up, walked to his side, and opened his arms to hug him.
"I don't want to do this anymore. Brother Chi, please support me." Xiao Han hit his chest with his forehead.
"Okay, I'll resign now and tie you up at home. You won't be able to go anywhere." Feng Junchi kissed him on the top of his head.
"I'm so tired. I want to sleep now."
Xiao Han was so tired that he forgot to ask what the gossip was. He went home and fell asleep.
The next day, Xiao Han got up early as usual to make rounds. On the way to work, he felt like he had forgotten something yesterday. When he arrived at the hospital, he remembered that he had forgotten to send an invitation to Zhou Cheng. He quickly took out his mobile phone to send it, and then he remembered the gossip that Feng Junchi had said on the phone.
"Brother Chi, what gossip did you want to tell me yesterday?" Xiao Han turned to ask Feng Junchi after sending out the invitations.
"Go and make rounds first, and we'll talk after you're done."
"So mysterious?"
Wanting to know what Feng Junchi was keeping in suspense, Xiao Han, who was usually a bit slow, was full of energy today and finished the work quickly. The patient in the ICU was stable overnight and could be transferred back to the ward after another day of observation. Xiao Han felt relaxed and walked to the duty room while replying to WeChat messages. Seeing that Zhou Cheng still hadn't replied, he complained in his heart that he was still the same, and then dialed the phone.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. Xiao Han put the phone on the table in the duty room, turned on the hands-free mode, and started to change his clothes. Just when Xiao Han thought no one answered, the call was connected.
"Zhou Cheng, are you on duty? You haven't answered the phone yet."
Feng Junchi raised his eyebrows when he heard the name.
