After school on Saturday, Xinyan saw it was still early, so she went to the phone booth to call Han Jingchen: "Dad, thereâs some time until you get off work. Iâm going to check the shop over there. You can pick me up directly there."
Han Jingchen readily agreed upon hearing his daughterâs words: "Okay, dad knows."
The two chatted for a few more sentences, then hung up the phone.
In the office, the old partner Yue Yiming said, "Hey, did young lady call you?"
Han Jingchen raised his hand about to pick up the teacup, hearing this he said: "Not our young lady, sheâs my young lady. If you want a daughter, go home and work hard with your wife."
Yue Yiming laughed and bottled a cup of water for himself, just as he was about to say something, someone knocked on the door: "Director, someone is outside looking for you, says they are an old acquaintance, and mentioned they have something important to discuss with you."
Hearing this, Yue Yiming got up and said: "Iâll head there first. The matter we discussed earlier, letâs hold a meeting next Monday to unify opinions before making a decision."
Han Jingchen replied: "Okay."
After Yue Yiming left the office, Han Jingchen frowned, wondering who could be looking for him, but it wasnât proper to make the visitor come by again, so he said: "Let them up."
However, upon seeing the visitor, Han Jingchenâs face turned cold: "What are you here for?"
Ji Linfeng was far from the once spirited and full-of-confidence appearance, his face unshaven: "Second Brother."
Han Jingchenâs face darkened immediately: "I cannot bear you calling me Second Brother, nor am I interested in establishing any ties. I have a meeting soon, what do you need?"
Ji Linfeng had already prepared himself before coming: "Xiaowen has been having a persistent fever lately, the doctor said she must have special medicine, but I checked and it canât be bought in the country, Iâm really helpless. I beg you to help me save Xiaowen."
Han Jingchen stood up: "I canât help with that, I donât sell medicine, moreover itâs not even available domestically."
Ji Linfeng was anxious, saying: "I heard Gu Wanqing is back, please help me, I know Chunli wronged the Han Family, but Xiaowen is innocent, she is just a child."
Han Jingchenâs face turned very unsightly: "What, you plan to make trouble here, hoping I buckle under the pressure of public opinion?
If so, you miscalculated."
Ji Linfeng did indeed think so, he could very well find him at home, but he chose to come find him at work, intending to use public opinion pressure to make him agree.
After all, if it really becomes a scandal and damages his reputation, he would naturally consider it.
Just hearing Han Jingchenâs tone made him uncertain.
Thinking of the years father and daughter were separated because of Qiu Chunli, letting the dear young lady endure suffering in the Yu Family, it was impossible for him to forgive her.
Now Ji Linfeng wants to use him to have Wanqing help in buying special medicine, he really dares to think.
Wanqing probably wishes to destroy them now, how could she possibly help them.
Ji Linfeng looked utterly dejected: "Xiaowen is still a child, how come you have no sympathy at all, despite her always being fond of you."
Han Jingchen coldly looked at Ji Linfeng, with deep intention in his eyes: "If the cost for the special medicine is ready, I can recommend someone to you."
Upon hearing this, Ji Linfengâs face flashed a trace of awkwardness: "I know what youâre implying, but the agent fees those people ask for are too high, I canât afford that much at the moment."
Han Jingchen took out the meeting documents from the drawer: "If I understand correctly, youâre hoping to get something for nothing, isnât it?"
Ji Linfengâs face turned very unpleasant, his words stuttered: "I, Iâm not, Iâm just temporarily short."
Han Jingchen walked out from behind the office desk: "If you want to make trouble, suit yourself, you and Qiu Chunli are really a match, equally shameless."
Having said that, he strode out and called out to Su Jingsong at the door: "Send him out."
Call him cold-blooded or selfish, he absolutely couldnât repay grievances with kindness regarding the Ji family matter, their only grievance is having a harmful mother.
Moreover, he recently met a friend from the hospital, and heard about Ji Xiaowenâs situation from him. Even if the special medicine is used, saving her is impossible, just prolonging her suffering in this world.
