Chapter 472: 301 Operation is so tricky, you can never imagine (3 updates)_2
"Pretty good," Jiang Shiyi didnât want to appear in the ward, and Jiang Chengsi didnât expose him; in fact, the nutritional supplements he brought over today were all purchased by his brother.
"Is he planning to stay in Beijing long-term?"
"Yeah." Lately, Jiang Chengsi has been hanging out almost exclusively with Jiang Shiyi.
"What kind of job is he looking for?"
"Heâs submitted one resume."
"Just one?" Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow.
"He said heâs only interested in that one company and heâs quite certain they will hire him, so he doesnât see the need to cast a wide net," Jiang Chengsi shrugged, displaying a helpless expression.
Since childhood, he wasnât one for academics and had started his own business, so he naturally never had to look for a job, but heâd never seen such a confident job seeker.
The peak hiring season is after the new year, even a three-year-old knows not to put all eggs in one basket, yet he insists on hanging himself on a single tree.
"Well then, take care and rest up, Iâm going to head out," Jiang Chengsi finished an orange and prepared to leave, glancing at the person beside him, "Old Huo, coming with me?"
Jiang Jinsang would have preferred the company, but he simply said without expression, "You go ahead."
"Alright then, Xiaowu, take care of yourself. Once youâre out of the hospital, big brother will treat you to something nice," Jiang Chengsi said, twirling his car keys, then left.
After the sound of footsteps faded away, Jiang Jinsang turned to the person in the corner, "Why didnât you leave with him?"
"He wasnât here alone. That person didnât show up, probably doesnât want to be recognized."
"Third uncle?"
He didnât deny it.
...
Jiang Chengsi indeed didnât come alone, Jiang Shiyi didnât enter the hospital today. With the Huo Family around, hiding wasnât an option, so he waited in the car.
He simply didnât know that he was already discovered.
"Why come to the hospital if youâre not going inside?" Jiang Chengsi settled into his carâs passenger seat.
Jiang Shiyi smiled indifferently, "Given how embarrassing it was, they probably donât wish to see me either. Besides, our relationship has always been average, and the hospital isnât exactly a pleasant place, no point in joining that fray."
"Not keen on joining the fray, yet you yourself keep running to the hospital every other day. If youâre not available, you send me. If you care about him, just say so. Lucky for you, youâre his cousin, and a guy at that. If it were any other woman, Iâd suspect you had feelings for him..."
"Like your relationship with Qi Zeyan?"
Jiang Chengsi looked baffled, "I... Weâre totally platonic."
Jiang Shiyi wasnât one to follow celebrity gossip, yet he apparently knew.
"Did I say you two had something going on?"
"..." Jiang Chengsi wasnât one to be pushed around. With his temper rising, he gave a cold laugh while rolling up his sleeves, "Bro, thatâs not funny!"
Jiang Shiyi replied leisurely, "Has anyone ever told you not to mess with someone who studies chemistry."
Jiang Chengsi was flustered...
Arguing was one thing, but without personal threats...
"Bro, youâve changed."
Jiang Shiyi flashed him a dazzling smile, "Itâs that you never really understood me."
**
Upon learning that Jiang Shiyi had come to the hospital without entering, combined with his previous behavior at the company, Jiang Jinsang began to harbor a different view.
Previously unfamiliar, and with Jiang Shiyi being so reserved, always showing little emotion making him hard to read, it was inevitable to have prejudiced views, assuming him to be not kind-hearted. Now it seems...
His judgment was pretty accurate. Dealing with Jiang Zhaolin with such a decisive and accurate strike was indeed not the act of a kind person.
He came all the way here but didnât enter. Itâs said today, but who knows how many times this had happened before.
Still just as inscrutable.
Lost in thought, his phone vibrated with an incoming call from Tang Wan.
"Did you pick her up?" Jiang Jinsangâs voice suddenly softened, making the person in the corner unable to help but raise an eyebrow, as people say, being in love turns speech so sickly sweet itâs hard to listen to.
"Yeah, took her to the hotel first to drop off her luggage, will head to the hospital later." Tang Wan previously lived at the Jiang Familyâs, Shen Shuciâs occasional overnight stay was reasonable, but now with Tang Wan residing at the hospital regularly, it would be really awkward for her to stay at the Jiang Familyâs, "Have your stitches been removed?"
"Theyâve been removed, went smoothly."
"Thatâs good."
...
The two chatted on the phone for about five or six minutes, seeing each other every day, yet debating who should hang up first, dragging on the cloying exchange for over two minutes.
Shen Shuci sat beside Tang Wan, looking out the window. Ending a phone call should be straightforward, a matter of one second, nothing to be discussed.
"Auntie?" Tang Wan hung up the phone and saw her daydreaming, so she called out to her softly.
"Is your call done?" Being younger, Shen Shuci always maintained the manner of an elder.
"Why do I get the feeling that youâre particularly disgusted with me? I was only on the phone for a few minutes."
