Chapter 270 New Hope
Although all the blame was placed on the deceased Gu Hanxi, many things cannot be resolved simply by being threatened.
If it weren't for the fact that she saved the old lady, she wouldn't even have the right to stand here.
Bai Xue shook her head with tears in her eyes: "No, Brother Ji Heng, I just want a good platform to work hard. If you don't like it, just pretend I didn't mention it. Don't be angry with me anymore."
Shen Jiheng once thought he was a master strategist who could control everything in the world, but now he realizes that he can't even trust the person he trusted most in the past.
Her sudden trip to work at Shen's company seemed rather unusual.
"My tone was bad just now. I remember I did say something like that."
"So you're agreeing to let me come to work here."
Shen Jiheng nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Which department do you want? I'll have the HR department arrange it for you later."
"I've been working in marketing for the past few years, so please let me intern in the marketing department."
Bai Xue took out her resume as she spoke, showing that she had come prepared.
To be honest, Shen Jiheng has never paid attention to her work over the years. According to her resume, she has a rich work experience and good abilities.
"No problem, I'll arrange it right away."
Shen Jiheng called Qin Chuan over, handed him his resume, and instructed him, "Take Bai Xue to the HR department to report for duty and see when she can start work."
Qin Chuan was surprised. Wasn't this woman the culprit who caused him and his wife to separate back then?
Now that his relationship with his wife has soured again, keeping Bai Xue around would only deepen the misunderstanding.
"President, I remember that the branch office is still short of some positions. Shall I take Miss Bai over to take a look?"
Shen Jiheng glared at him; this assistant really knew how to meddle in other people's business.
"No need, just do as instructed."
Bai Xue smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Brother Ji Heng. Assistant Qin, then please take me to report for duty."
Qin Chuan nodded with a forced smile. It was obvious that the president understood his warning. Since the president wouldn't listen, he could only leave it to fate.
At noon, Han Xi finally reacted, slowly walking towards the roadside, intending to drive back.
When she reached the parking lot, a familiar figure came into view: Shen Jiheng leaned against her car door with his arms crossed.
Han Xi thought she was hallucinating until a charming smile appeared on that cold face, and she realized she wasn't mistaken.
But why did he come?
What are you doing here?
"I came here specifically to invite you to dinner as an apology."
These words stung Han Xi like a needle; ultimately, he was trying to help her face the Gu family with a clear conscience in the future.
If things really go as they've planned, Han Xi will be the one facing the most difficult situation in the future.
Zhuo Qingqian can leave the Gu family, but Han Xi cannot.
This matter will stay with her for the rest of her life; it will be an insurmountable obstacle for Gu Jia.
Seeing that Han Xi didn't speak, he coaxed her again: "I know you'll be angry, but I don't have a better way. You can blame me for as long as you want, just don't ignore me."
As soon as Shen Jiheng finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind suddenly blow by. It turned out that Han Xifei had rushed into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Shen Jiheng's hands were frozen in mid-air, not yet reacting. This was the first time Han Xi had hugged him so tightly, making him feel an unprecedented sense of importance.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have blamed you. I knew you meant well."
Shen Jiheng pulled his arms around her tightly. At this moment, he no longer needed Han Xi to prove her feelings for him with words. He could truly feel that the person who once loved him had returned.
"I'm glad you understand. I'm happy to be able to help you with your worries."
"Thank you, Shen Jiheng."
Shen Jiheng put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Besides apologizing, I have some good news to tell you."
Han Xi looked at him curiously, and Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "But before we talk about these things, we should go eat first, don't you think!"
Han Xi smiled and nodded. She didn't know when it started, but she felt very relaxed when she was with Shen Jiheng.
After getting in the car, Shen Jiheng gave her a hospital brochure; it was from a well-known foreign maternal and child health hospital.
Han Xi asked, puzzled, "What are you trying to do?"
Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "Regarding Miss Zhuo's matter, I have found the best solution for you. This was given to me by Dean Hengtian half an hour ago. Take a look."
Han Xi opened it out of curiosity, and after reading the contents, she realized Shen Jiheng's good intentions.
"You want us to send Qianqian here to rest and prepare for childbirth?"
"I've already asked around, and this health center is specifically designed to address various adverse reactions during pregnancy and can solve all sorts of problems. There's also this introduction."
Shen Jiheng took out his phone to show her the article he had found. The author's situation was similar to Zhuo Qingqian's. He said that he had decided to give this health care center a try, but his symptoms were relieved in just one week.
Han Xi never expected that Shen Jiheng would secretly help her find these things, which moved her deeply.
"Is this all you've been busy with today?"
"It's all to calm you down. You can discuss it with Miss Zhuo again and go over there to see if it works. If it still doesn't work, I believe the Gu family can accept it."
Han Xi stared at him in disbelief. When did Shen Jiheng become so considerate and understanding?
Facing her somewhat adoring gaze, Shen Jiheng looked up and laughed, "Am I so handsome that I'm stunning?"
Han Xi chuckled; she really liked the current, more flesh-and-blood Shen Jiheng.
She feels warmth from him now, and she is very happy.
"I'll treat you to lunch. If this works out, you'll be a true benefactor to the Gu family, and we'll all be very grateful to you."
Shen Jiheng looked at her and smiled, "But I only want you to be grateful, and it would be best if they could give you to me."
Han Xi rolled her eyes at him and reminded him, "Don't get carried away, or it might backfire."
Shen Jiheng quickly surrendered, realizing that he had no real standing in front of Han Xi now.
Logically, he should have been angry, but he was actually enjoying it.
After the meal, Shen Jiheng personally escorted her back to Hengtian Hospital. When Han Xi took out the briefing and explained the situation, Gu Beichen really wanted to kneel down before her.
Gu Beichen looked at Zhuo Qingqian with anticipation, but of course, the decision was still in her hands.
Han Xi also showed her the article that Shen Jiheng had forwarded, and said gently, "Qianqian, I brought these here just to give you some advice. As for the final decision, we will listen to you."
Gu Beichen took a deep breath and nodded. This time, he didn't try to persuade him. He said sincerely, "Baby, whatever decision you make, I will respect it and won't blame you, so please don't feel burdened."
Zhuo Qingqian was amused by the brother and sister, who were clearly extremely nervous, but had to pretend to be nonchalant in order to dispel her concerns.
She smiled and nodded: "Then let's try one more time. The surgery is canceled. We'll go abroad tomorrow and take a look."
Gu Beichen jumped up, grabbed Han Xi's hand and laughed heartily, his eyes full of gratitude.
