"Director Xiong, do you also enjoy smoking the Little Panda brand? I share that taste, but smoking isn’t allowed in the hospital ward. I appreciate the sentiment, though!" "Anyway, I need to go prepare for Old Li’s surgery. You all should get ready as well, and let the old man rest up. That way, he can be more alert during the surgery." "Sure! Take care, Professor He!" Though his rest had been interrupted by Chen Jie, He Kun was still full of energy, as if he had grown several years younger! Old Li’s surgery went ahead as scheduled and, thanks to the extensive preparations, He Kun’s work was very smooth. ... In the Su Group’s executive office, Su Ziyan finally made it to the end of the workday and promptly called Qin Yu, who was playing cards at the beverage factory, to come over. "Wife, why are you so eager to leave work today?" "Is the matter with the doctor settled?" Su Ziyan asked without answering Qin Yu’s question. "Of course it’s settled! How could your husband not handle something you’ve arranged?" Qin Yu nodded without hesitation. "Good. Let’s head to the First Hospital now. Xiong Zhan arranged for his mother to be in the VIP ward early this morning." "Alright." Qin Yu drove Su Ziyan to the First Hospital and, familiar with the place, led her straight to VIP Ward 868. Knock, knock, knock, Su Ziyan gently rapped on the door, and a robust voice from inside said, "Come in." With a creak, Su Ziyan pushed the door open and saw a radiant Xiong Zhan. Seeing how excited Xiong Zhan looked, Su Ziyan felt relieved. It seemed her husband had been efficient in securing Professor He. "Director Xiong, congratulations. With Professor He taking action, the elder’s health will surely improve," Su Ziyan said with a sincere smile on her face. "Thank you," Xiong Zhan replied with a touch of restraint, nodding. After that, he paid no more attention to Su Ziyan, not even offering her a seat. Xiong Zhan’s reaction left Su Ziyan bewildered. What was happening? Why was Xiong Zhan treating her so coldly? Could it be that he had changed his mind? Forcing down her doubts, Su Ziyan asked in a serious tone, "Director Xiong, the stock transfer agreement is ready, isn’t it?" "What stock transfer agreement?" Xiong Zhan looked at Su Ziyan with a mocking glance. Su Ziyan frowned, completely confused. What was Xiong Zhan playing at? Was he trying to renege on the deal? "Director Xiong, didn’t we agree this morning? As long as we brought Professor He to you, you would transfer the shares to me." "Yes, we did agree to that this morning. However, the person who brought Professor He here was not you, but the wife of Vice Chairman Su, that is, your stepmother, Chen Jie!" "How is that possible?" Su Ziyan’s head pounded with confusion. What on earth was going on? "It’s absolutely true. Chen Jie just personally brought Professor He here. Moreover, Professor He himself said that if it weren’t for Chen Jie’s face, he wouldn’t have taken on the surgery." Su Ziyan kept shaking her head, unwilling to believe Xiong Zhan’s words: "Impossible! We asked Dean Gao for a favor just this morning!" A hint of scorn appeared on Xiong Zhan’s face: "Miss Su, you’re too naïve. Do you think Dean Gao holds that much influence? Professor Chen is Dragon Country’s foremost expert on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. He only came to the First Hospital to provide guidance and inspection, not as a subordinate of Dean Gao. Even Dean Gao has to act according to Professor Chen’s preferences!" How could this be? Her husband had assured her the doctor was taken care of! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rushed over!
