âMr. Chen, where are you heading?â
The director and Chen Hao ran into each other.
Immediately, the director shook Chen Haoâs hand and smiled.
âHuh? Mr. Chen?â
Everyone from the ward was dumbfounded as they watched the scene play out before them.
Especially Li Wenyang who had already stood up and readied himself to greet the director.
Why did he call Chen Hao âMr. Chenâ?
âDirector, do you know me?â
Chen Hao was taken aback as well.
âOf course I do. The last time Uncle Wu was admitted to the hospital, I went over to visit him too! Itâs just that I didnât run into you!â the director exclaimed while smiling.
Chen Hao pondered for a while. I suppose it makes sense.
The last time when Uncle Wu was admitted, I also ran into Li Mingxue at the canteen. At that time, she was still worrying about issues at work.
Then I may have mentioned Li Mingxueâs issue to Li Zhenguo when I went over to find him.
After that, Li Mingxueâs issue was resolved. However, Li Chao took the credit.
I guess that was when the director heard about me.
Later on, Iâd heard from Uncle Wu that a hospital director went to visit him.
However, Chen Hao didnât dwell on it.
âMr. Chen, I heard from the head nurse that you came over so I came here specifically to see you.
Donât be afraid to reach out if you have any requests. Our hospital will try its best to fulfill your requirements!â the director said with a smile.
Then, he saw Li Mingxue at the side and added, âLook! After your suggestion last time, weâve already made Mingxue an official doctor. Sheâs hardworking and responsible, everyone from the hospital praised her unanimously. You had really recommended someone with great talent!â
The director chuckled.
Then, he continued to talk about other topics with Chen Hao. It wasnât until everyone behind him greeted and shook hands with Chen Hao before they finally left.
Chen Hao was sure he did not ask for help from this director. He had Li Zhenguo pull some strings within the province instead.
However, it looked like the director was a capable man. It didnât take him long to inquire around before figuring out that Chen Hao was behind it.
After they left, Chen Hao turned around to look behind him.
He suddenly realized that each of his classmates in the ward was looking at him in shock.
Especially Li Wenyang.
He felt stupid for even getting up.
What a shame. It seemed like the director did not come to visit him. Instead, he actually came to greet Chen Hao. This is awkward as hell!
âI will go get some warm water!â
Chen Hao nodded lightly.
âC-Chen Hao!â
Li Mingxue suddenly called out to Chen Hao in disbelief.
âYeah? What is it, Mingxue?â Chen Hao asked.
âW-Were you the one who helped me? Did I finally become a doctor because of you?â
What the director said was clearer than ever. It was Chen Hao who recommended a âgreat talentâ to the hospital.
Li Mingxue was puzzled as she had initially thought that it was Li Chao who helped her.
Her father even went as far as to thank Li Chaoâs father personally. However, Li Chaoâs fatherâs attitude was cold and unbothered. He dismissed her father right after giving him some water to drink.
If it was really him, how could he have acted like that?
But Li Mingxue finally understood now. The one who helped her out was Chen Hao all along.
And he turned out to be really close to the director!
âOh, it was nothing, really. I just knew some people from the field and gave them some recommendations!â
Chen Hao smiled lightly.
Li Mingxue felt remorseful.
When she first met Chen Hao, she only treated him to a meal at the school canteen. However, with Li Chao, she treated him to dine at exclusive restaurants and hotels.
In the end, the one that was worried about her and helped her turned out to be Chen Hao!
When Li Mingxue looked at Chen Hao, a different kind of affection bloomed inside her.
âWhat the hell? Not only does Chen Hao drive a Mercedes G500, he also has so many connections around! What is he even doing now?â Wang Rui exclaimed.
âWhat did you say? Chen Hao drives a Mercedes G500?â
Li Wenyang was shocked again.
To think that Chen Hao only smiled lightly while he was showing off his car at the bus stop.
Heâd initially thought that Chen Hao was just being jealous, Looks like Chen Hao was just playing along by watching you act like a fool by showing off! His car is even worth up to nine of yours!
âItâs just another form of transportation anyways. I won it from an event back then.â
Chen Hao smiled.
He headed out right after.
Jiang Xueqing also started to look at Chen Hao in a new light.
However, Chen Hao decided to leave after he finished dealing with them.
As for who Jiang Xueqing thought helped her, Chen Hao honestly couldnât care less.
Right then, he retrieved his car from the hospitalâs parking lot and left under his classmatesâ stunned gazes.
While he was on the road driving, Chen Hao's phone suddenly rang.
Looking at the incoming callâs number, it was none other than Zhao Tongtong!
âChen Hao, why donât you advise Qin Ya to come back? Uncle Qin has been worried sick! Even her phone has been turned off now, and she hasn't replied to any of my Wechat messages! Whatever, just try to persuade her. Iâll come over during noon to see her!â Zhao Tongtong said.
However, Chen Hao was stunned after taking in what she said.
He immediately hit the brakes.
âWhat are you talking about? Didnât Qin Ya go home?â Chen Hao asked stupidly.
Qin Ya had already left and she should have reached her home long ago. However, Chen Hao did not contact her at that time.
He figured that helping her out once was enough.
After all, he couldnât afford Su Tongxin getting the wrong idea again.
Who would have thought that Qin Ya could not be reached anymore?
âHuh? What are you talking about? What home? I tried contacting Qin Ya but I couldnât reach her at all.
Sheâs getting too good at this, even her dad started freaking out! Come on, stop playing around. Qin Yaâs dad is not at our house anymore. Quick, pass the phone over to Qin Ya!â Zhao Tongtong demanded.
She thought Chen Hao was still putting up an act.
âStop scaring me. The next morning after you guys left three days ago, Qin Ya had already taken a cab back to Jin Ling City. She told me she was getting engaged with Li Yue!â
Chen Hao wiped away the sweat forming on his forehead.
He told Zhao Tongtong everything that he knew about the situation.
âSh*t! If that's the case, why canât I reach out to her? Do you think that itâs possible that we have already lost contact with her from the day that she left? Also, are you sure Qin Ya told you that she was getting engaged with Li Yue?â
âWell, who else can it be?â
âLet me tell you. It seemed like Qin Ya made up some excuses because she was afraid of you not wanting to let her stay. Sigh. I just found out what happened too. She wasnât going to be engaged to Li Yue, but to a Mr. Long from Yan Jing. Qin Ya refused to, which was why she ran away! What Iâm worried about right now is, did something happen to Qin Ya?â
Zhao Tongtong was scared and worried.
Not to mention Chen Hao.
He immediately tried to contact Qin Ya after the phone call.
However, her phone was turned off.
He tried contacting her via Wechat but to no avail too.
Sh*t!
Damn it! Is it possible that something really happened?
Well, although this matter was indirectly related to Chen Hao, he was the one who let Qin Ya leave in the first place.
Chen Hao couldnât help but feel guilty.
If he had never said those words to her, Qin Ya wouldnât have left.
If he had called to check up on her after she left, he could have known where she went.
But now? Something might have happened to Qin Ya, and he didnât even notice until three days after.
Zhao Tongtong even thought that Qin Ya was still with him.
The whole situation caused Chen Haoâs mind to go blank for a moment. Millions of possibilities then ran through his mind. The more he thought about it, the more scared he felt.
Chen Hao slammed his steering wheel.
He immediately made a U-turn and headed back.
He had to go back to Jin Ling...
