Huacheng Military Region 520th Unit Hospital.
Next to Chen Shanhe's bed stood a half-white-haired old man in his sixties, wearing a military uniform and leaning on a cane, exuding majesty.
Chen Shanhe, who had been planning to pretend to be seriously injured and unable to get out of bed, quickly stood up and stood at attention, saluting with his uninjured arm. "Why are you here?"
Behind the white-haired old man followed a military officer about fifty years old with four pockets.
The four pockets snorted softly upon hearing this, and pointed their index fingers at Chen Shanhe, "Isn't it you who caused this trouble?!"
Chen Shanhe: “…”
The sixty-year-old man waved his hand and sat down on the chair the attendant had just moved behind him. He said, "It was my idea to have you go to Haicheng to participate in this 'exchange'. If you get out and can't come back, I will be responsible."
Chen Shanhe: “…”
So you came all the way here just to take me back?
Regardless of what he was secretly complaining about, Chen Shanhe begged for mercy respectfully, his attitude was very upright, and his tone was quite sincere. "Mr. Li, you are really embarrassing me. I am such a grown man, how could I not find the way home? I just…" He lifted his arm in a sling, "I have a minor injury, so I won't be able to go back for a few days."
Elder Li glanced at Chen Shanhe's arm and said, "In that case, pack up and let's go! Don't worry, someone will take care of you on the way. This way, people won't laugh at you for staying in Huacheng when there's no hospital in Yincheng."
Chen Shanhe: “…”
He looked for help at the four pockets behind the sixty-year-old man.
The four pockets spoke silently to Chen Shanhe: You deserve it!
Chen Shanhe: “…”
Despite their disdain, Si'pockets still spoke up to plead for Chen Shanhe, "Mr. Li, you've really wronged him. He's staying in Huacheng not because he's attracted to someone else's hospital, but because his wife is here."
Old Li raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Are you saying that the military wife who got into college is Chen Shanhe's wife?"
Four Pockets nodded, "That's her."
Elder Li nodded. "School has just started, right? Ask her if she's willing to change universities. She can choose any university of the same level within our military region. I'll coordinate."
The corners of Si Pockets' mouth twitched, and he gave Chen Shanhe a helpless look.
Chen Shanhe touched the tip of his nose and could only tell the truth, "Mr. Li, I still have some personal matters to deal with. Please give me three more days, and I will return to Yincheng immediately after you finish it."
What Mr. Li wanted was Chen Shanhe's attitude. After getting the answer he wanted, he went back to the guesthouse to rest.
Si Pockets didn't leave. Instead, he sat on the bench where Mr. Li had been sitting. He peeled a banana from the bedside table and asked Chen Shanhe, "What personal matter is worth the trouble of transferring from Haicheng to Huacheng?"
Based on his understanding of Chen Shanhe, Chen Shanhe is not the kind of person who would neglect his work for the sake of love.
Of course, a pilot with a broken arm who can't fly a plane is not very useful.
Chen Shanhe leaned against the headboard and lay on the edge of the bed, "Old Captain, please forgive me!"
The old captain, Tian Guozhi, was amused by Chen Shanhe. "You know you're afraid, yet you still dare to act so pretentiously? Don't think I don't know that the news of Huacheng recruiting you spread back to Yincheng so quickly. You're the one who must have had a hand in that. I don't believe you didn't anticipate our arrival."
"Yes, I admit that I wanted to invite you over, but I really didn't expect Mr. Li to come. Captain, you are not being very kind."
Tian Guozhi shook his head. "Don't be so self-indulgent. You're not so shameless as to deserve Mr. Li to come here in person. He came here for a meeting and came to see you."
Chen Shanhe was not hit but relieved, "That's good."
"Tell me! What are you going through all this trouble for?"
"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask if you've heard of the He family in Huacheng?"

At the same time, Jiang Shiyue rushed to the top floor of Dongsheng in anger.
Jiang Shiyue rushed into Duan Kunze's office, slammed the newspaper on the desk, and asked coldly, "Mr. Duan, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Duan Kunze raised his hand and waved. The secretary who had chased in to stop Jiang Shiyue nodded, then respectfully retreated and closed the office door.
Jiang Shiyue never looked back from beginning to end. She pulled out a chair and sat opposite Duan Kunze.
Duan Kunze's eyes fell on the newspaper.
The page that Jiang Shiyue threw in front of him was a report about Dongsheng.
On the first day of opening, Dongsheng’s turnover reached 100,000.
Duan Kunze stood up and poured a glass of water in front of Jiang Shiyue, saying with a smile: "Don't be angry! Women age quickly when they are angry!"
Jiang Shiyue sneered.
Duan Kunze sat back at his desk, opened the locked drawer, took out a stack of big unity notes and pushed it in front of Jiang Shiyue. "This is 10,000 yuan. The extra money is my personal thank you!"
Jiang Shiyue didn't even glance at Da Tuanjie, and sneered, "Boss Duan is so generous! He's a master at using the donkey to get rid of the people after they've done their work, and then he's done with the bridge after crossing it. You sold me out and you expect me to count the money for you?"
"What are you talking about?" Duan Kunze frowned. "I've always considered you a partner. I've given you all the permissions and commissions you requested."
Jiang Shiyue uttered a short "huh," "Boss Duan, even though you're smart, don't treat others like fools. We agreed that you'd produce the financial statements by the end of this month. It's only been half a month..." She pinched the newspaper on the table with her thumb and index finger and shook it, "and it's already in the newspaper."
Duan Kunze suddenly understood. "I was wondering why you were so angry?! So this is what happened. Well, I have to speak up for myself. You know the relationship between Dongsheng and Yong'an. I support you in your efforts to get membership and the "Three Guarantees" service at Dongsheng. It's already very stressful.
For a department store this size, it's unrealistic to not settle accounts for a month. Not only does my dad disapprove, but even the local government wouldn't agree. There's nothing I can do..."
"Then why didn't you notify me?" Jiang Shiyue interrupted Duan Kunze.
"I haven't had time to tell you yet because of time constraints. If you hadn't come today, I would have actually gone to your school to talk to you about this. Here, I have the money ready."
"Really? That's quite a coincidence." Jiang Shiyue agreed, but her expression was the opposite, clearly not believing a single word. "The sales figures were at least calculated the day before yesterday, and Mr. Duan hasn't had time to inform me yet? Okay, even if you don't have time, why did you promise to show me the financial statements? Now all I see are the figures in the newspaper?"
Duan Kunze was clearly prepared. He spread his hands and sighed exaggeratedly, "This is really not my fault! You've met my fiancée; she's a spoiled young lady. It's really a headache for me that she won't show you the financial statements because of some personal grudge against you. But don't worry, whether there are public financial statements or not, I won't treat you unfairly."
Jiang Shiyue looked at Duan Kunze steadily and smiled for a long time.
But the smile didn't reach his eyes.
