Chen Zhenfeng was startled. When the director gets angry, heâs really hard to handle. After all, with the directorâs status, he wouldnât care about things like this at all.
Who would have thought, the director is actually friends with Lin Fan. Chen Zhenfeng was bewildered, how did this flea market kid know the director, and the director even favors him!
Chen Zhenfeng broke into a cold sweat: "N-no."
Zhou Nanhua angrily said, "Scoundrel, you didnât have an appointment, yet you used your authority for personal gain, trying to snatch a room from the guests. Youâve completely disgraced our hospital!"
Zhou Nanhua scolded Chen Zhenfeng harshly.
Chen Zhenfeng could only silently endure.
After admonishing Chen Zhenfeng, Zhou Nanhua smiled at Lin Fan, "Young man, may I ask who in your family is ill and how is their condition?"
Lin Fan replied, "Itâs my uncle, liver disease."
Zhou Nanhua turned his head to Chen Zhenfeng and said, "Our hospitalâs best liver disease expert is Doctor Guo Yu. You personally arrange for Doctor Guo Yu to prioritize treating Mr. Linâs uncle, no mistakes allowed!"
The director gave instructions, and Chen Zhenfeng could only mutter a consent.
Zhou Nanhua smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Thank you, sir."
"Thatâs good. My grandson is about to go home, I need to see him off. Mr. Lin, apologies, Iâll visit you next time." Zhou Nanhua said, hurriedly said goodbye and left.
"Cousin, what about my mom, where will she stay?" At this time, the young woman asked anxiously.
Chen Zhenfeng felt quite helpless and said, "Currently, the hospital is short on beds. You heard it just now, all the VIP rooms are fully occupied. Weâll have to let your mom temporarily stay in a regular ward for now..."
"Youâre going to drive me crazy!" The young lady stomped her foot and ran off angrily.
"Cousin, wait for me!"
Chen Zhenfeng panicked and rushed out after her, not forgetting to glare back at Lin Fan. If it werenât for Lin Fan, his cousin wouldnât be mad, this account will be settled later!
Su Jinjin felt a bit speechless, "That man is really bullying, good thing we know the director. Lin Fan, you even helped the director before, otherwise, where could we go to reason?"
Lin Fan furrowed his brows and said, "I fear Chen Zhenfeng might have some tricks up his sleeve. When my uncle comes, weâll need to stay alert."
Lin Fan coldly chuckled to himself, it would be best for Chen Zhenfeng not to provoke him again, or Lin Fan wouldnât be courteous with him.
Although Zhou Nanhua scolded Chen Zhenfeng just now, he didnât actually punish him. Lin Fan couldnât rely on Zhou Nanhua, since for Zhou Nanhua, he was just a minor benefactor from outside, and Chen Zhenfeng was ultimately his colleague.
Itâs still best to rely on oneself.
Lin Fan said, "Letâs not talk about this. Jinjin, youâve seen the doctor, is there any serious problem?"
Su Jinjin said, "Hmm, just a small issue, Iâm feeling energetic. Lin Fan, do you have time this afternoon?"
Lin Fan said, "Yes, where do you want to go?"
Su Jinjin blushed and said, "If you have time, accompany me to walk around, if not..."
Lin Fan said, "Sure thing."
Su Jinjin was very pleased, "Then letâs go."
The two of them left the hospital and started strolling along the nearby streets.
They seemed to have returned to their university days, back then, they would often stroll hand-in-hand, or Lin Fan would carry Su Jinjin on his bicycle.
Itâs a pity...
Even though sheâs now sitting on Lin Fanâs electric scooter, sheâs not his girlfriend anymore, which made her inexplicably feel a bit down.
However, passersby misunderstood their relationship, thinking they were a couple.
The guys were envious of Lin Fan, having found such a beautiful girlfriend, and the key point is, Lin Fan was clearly so poor!
What happened to the notion that beautiful women are all gold diggers?
Many people turned their heads, expressing confusion.
"That beauty is so pretty, she could totally be sitting in the passenger seat of a supercar, yet sheâs sitting on an electric scooter!"
"The guy is quite handsome too, just really poor, this girl will definitely become frustrated with him. Handsomeness doesnât put food on the table!"
"Sheâs young, give her some time, when she gets beaten by society, sheâll realize nothingâs more important than money."
"Youâre right, one day, sheâll leave him for money. Thatâs just reality..."
The passersby murmured as they gossiped.
Upon hearing these remarks, Su Jinjin felt a bit upset. She had never disliked Lin Fan because of his poverty. Many gold-digging women are afraid of poverty, so they only want to find a wealthy man, but she was the third young lady of Su Family, she didnât need that, even though Su Family had declined in recent years, she still didnât need that.
Yet, back then, she was still forced to break up with Lin Fan because of his poverty.
She doesnât despise the poor and favor the rich, but Madam Su does, her mother does, most of Su Family do, they couldnât accept that poor lad.
Su Family is just a small reflection of this society.
From the gossip of these passersby, this society favors the rich and disdains the poor, in the end, even the purest will bow to money.
Lin Fan saw the somewhat gloomy Su Jinjin in the rearview mirror of the electric scooter.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Donât pay attention to these rumors, youâre not like them."
A brave young lady defying a family-arranged marriage, just wanting to marry for love, decisively ditched the wealthy Li Family. Such a lady, how could she be compared to common folks!
"Iâm fine." Su Jinjin forced a smile, trying not to let outsidersâ comments affect her.
She sighed inwardly, "Lin Fan, if I had been a bit braver back then, could I have stayed with you?"
Thinking this, an indiscernible impulse suddenly surged through her heart.
At this moment, they passed by a roadside stall.
The stall owner was a man in his thirties, selling wooden carvings, clearly a craftsman, also providing services on the spot.
"Young man, your girlfriend is really pretty, make a wooden carving for her as a gift, todayâs my opening day, Iâll give you a 20% discount!" the stall owner smiled to attract customers.
Lin Fan looked at the wooden carvings he made. This guy had done many famous anime figures, but the craftsmanship was only so-so.
"No need." Lin Fan replied politely.
The stall owner was still trying to persuade, "Why not make one, I have ancestral craftsmanship, both quick and good, itâll be done soon."
Lin Fan asked Su Jinjin, "Do you like wooden carvings?"
Su Jinjin replied, "Theyâre okay, I donât know much about them, but they seem pretty fun."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "If you want one, Iâll make one personally for you."
Su Jinjin was pleasantly surprised, "You can make wooden carvings?"
Lin Fan seemed to be quite handy, this noon he helped a little boy build with blocks and did it so well, it had surprised Su Jinjin back then.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fan could even carve wood?
Lin Fan said, "Yes."
He has top-notch craftsmanship skills, such handiwork is too simple.
The stall owner was a bit surprised too and said, "Ah? Young man, you can carve wood? Turns out Iâve met a fellow craftsman! But I bet your skills arenât better than mine, mine is ancestral skills passed down for generations, my familyâs been relying on this for livelihood. Miss, if you really like wooden carvings, help me out, your boyfriend definitely canât make one as beautiful as mine."
Su Jinjin didnât care, regardless of how good or bad it was, as long as Lin Fan made it, to her itâs the best.
Lin Fan noticed the stall ownerâs boasting and him subtly putting him down, he smiled and said, "I didnât want to be honest, but your carvings look just mediocre to me."
The stall owner wasnât pleased with this, his expression changed, "What did you say?"
Lin Fan said, "You heard it."
The stall owner snorted unhappily, "Youâre doubting my skills, kid, do you dare to compete with me?"
