Chapter 837: Chapter 838: That Little Wang Bastard, Just Draining 3,000 Words Like a Vampire

The secretary general, no doubt a clever soul who has spent many years by King Jingyao’s side, was already brewing ideas within seconds after getting an eye from his boss.

He leaned forward with a worried expression: "Mr. Wang, the office really can’t manage without you. Think about it, you haven’t personally presided over affairs for a whole week. Although Mr. Min is there, most of them are just loafing around, so your absence is still not good. How about we get discharged first, if there are any problems, we can come back to the hospital; it’s a win-win situation. Besides, you’re almost recovered, let’s not take up medical resources, don’t you think?"

King Jingyao looked at him again, pretending to be indifferent: "Is my absence really such a big issue, Jingchuan? Aren’t you underestimating Mr. Min’s ability too much?"

Just then, Minxin arrived, and upon hearing this conversation, understood instantly—

These two, master and servant, are probably putting on another act. Although he wasn’t sure for what, Minxin casually returned the favor, walking over with a smile: "Without you, I truly can’t manage."

King Jingyao pointed at Minxin and said to the secretary general: "See, he’s being modest again, isn’t he?"

Then, mimicking seriousness, he said: "You’ve had to work hard during these days I’ve been absent, my health hasn’t been very well, and I might have to stay hospitalized a bit longer. But Jingchuan here insists I’m hogging the hospital bed. Old Min, do you think his remark makes sense? I think Jingchuan is now on your side."

Through these words, Minxin naturally grasped what the old fellow meant, so he sat nearby and patted his boss’s arm earnestly: "Without you, it truly can’t be done, Jingchuan may be a bit impatient, but he’s wholeheartedly for the public, we shouldn’t blame him. If the situation isn’t pleasing, shall we switch Wang Yuan for him? We’ve been using him for too long, a change might be refreshing."

Old Wang brother glanced smilingly at Wang Jingchuan: "See, you’ve grown, Mr. Min really wants you to handle the affairs."

He was beaming, but inside he scoffed: Swap the secretary, isn’t this just serving myself and the secretary on a platter to Minxin? Dream on!

And with that, he stared directly at Wang Jingchuan, who shivered and then coughed lightly: "I’m too clumsy to assist Mr. Min."

Minxin, being fully aware, pointed at Wang Jingchuan with a smile: "Clever."

Then, attentively turning to his boss, he said: "Back to serious matters, the office really can’t do without you. There’re a few important things I can’t decide on my own, so I came over personally to consult."

"Oh?" Old Wang brother instantly sat up from lying down: "What important things?"

Minxin glanced around, looking theatrically troubled.

Mr. Wang smiled: "Alright, I’ll have them step out for a while."

With a signal, Wang Jingchuan cleared the room, including the sweet Jiang doctor who had been feeding him breakfast earlier.

Jiang Chaoge also witnessed the act. She wasn’t foolish; she could tell King Jingyao still had feelings for Gu Anxi. It’s probably a turning point now. She had known, but she didn’t mind; she had plenty of time to wait.

She then put down her bowl, thoughtfully saying: "I’ll head out for now."

She took a glance at Gu Anxi, but Gu Anxi lazily replied: "Ten minutes, don’t delay the check-up."

As she finished, she walked straight out. Jiang Chaoge wanted to make an impression but received no attention. In Yunxi Hospital, Gu Anxi was constantly surrounded, she couldn’t even get close.

After the door closed, inside the hospital ward, Minxin sat on the sofa smiling, eyeing Old Wang brother: "What’s this about, performing such a scene? I see your progress with Dr. Jiang is quite good, so affectionate, living in the hospital isn’t bad, having someone care for you and even striking up a romance, the old lady can’t interfere here, after all, it’s a public place!"

King Jingyao gave him a sidelong glance, wanted a cigarette but was refused and said, annoyed: "Xiao Jiang nabbed the Huaer Laboratory project. Can I not play along with her somewhat superficially? You find it sweet, why don’t you have a go?"

Minxin chuckled: "Xiao Jiang isn’t interested in me. Her target is you. Besides, I have Tang Yuan in front with a kid already born, and Zhou Yu pregnant at the back, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to pick me."

"You’re honest, knowing your tangled personal life." King Jingyao chuckled softly, before suddenly putting on a serious face. "In a few days, there’s a banquet at the Jiang Family for that project. I can’t not show such respect."

Minxin had a craving for a smoke, instructed Wang Jingchuan to guard the door, moved to the window to open it slightly and lit a cigarette, took a few puffs then said: "If Jiang Chaoge’s condition is for you to marry her, would you comply or not?"

King Jingyao tightened his lips without a word.

Minxin sighed: "If this project must be secured, would you be willing to compromise is it not?"

King Jingyao lightly smiled: "I must secure it, our medical field is still somewhat weak. Any opportunity must not be missed. Minxin, unexpectedly, after all these years, you’re the one who understands me best. If only we weren’t in the hospital now, we could have enjoyed a good few drinks. When you bond with a kindred spirit even thousands of cups are not enough."

Minxin immediately said: "Have you forgotten your stomach can’t handle alcohol anymore?"

Old brother was immediately annoyed.

In his imagination, marrying a woman he didn’t want to, and not being able to drink would be worse than death.

Minxin laughed meaningfully, "But speaking as a confidant, I wouldn’t dare claim to be one. Actually, you have two confidants. One is Lin Hua, you’ve pushed her onto that Feng kid yourself, the other is this little bastard. Don’t be fooled by her age; she has you cornered tightly. You can’t hide a single move from her. Beware, don’t end up falling into her trap after playing your games. She might be secretly enjoying your mishaps now."

Old brother was instantly ruffled: "What mishap do I have for her to watch?"

"You and Xiao Jiang, you don’t realize how... ridiculous you look pretending to be so affectionate." Min Xin said and then unkindly laughed out loud...

Old Wang was already in a bad mood, and suddenly threw something over. Min Xin spread his hands, "Alright, fine, you’ve been wronged, but don’t take it out on me. I’m starting to understand and feel for Jingchuan. If you don’t get along with him, I’ll take him in."

This comment made King Jingyao laugh, and he said irritably, "You’re comparing Jingchuan to a woman, how would you take him in? Aren’t you retiring in a few years?"

Speaking of this, Min Xin straightforwardly said, "Whether I retire or not is up to you. If in the next few years, you can’t find someone suitable and still need my help, then I’ll stay. But if you think someone can take over and don’t need me anymore, I’ll retire immediately, no hesitation."

Old Wang listened and felt a bit dazed for a moment. After a while, he spoke, "I never thought the one left beside me in the end would be you."

Min Xin went over, gently patted his shoulder, and kindly advised, "That little bastard’s crime is not worthy of death. Why make it difficult for her and for yourself? Can’t you reconcile? It’s just Zhou Yunchen, just pretend he doesn’t exist. Anyway, you’ve already driven him away; he can’t stir up trouble. Besides, I see he doesn’t crave power. He came to us for Anxi’s sake. Since it’s all for her, why do you... need to think so much?"

King Jingyao looked at Min Xin, and after a long time, sighed, "It’s that little bastard’s great skill, plus Zhou Yunchen, that makes me wary of him. She also has the support of the Bo and Lin families."

Min Xin remained silent because King Jingyao was right; such skills and backing could turn the world upside down. That was Mr. Wang’s taboo.

As they talked, the door suddenly opened. Gu Anxi came over with Director Hao, "It’s time."

King Jingyao frowned, "No manners, coming in without knocking when I’m discussing something with Min Xin."

"This is a hospital. You’re the patient, and I’m the doctor. You have to listen to me." Gu Anxi finished speaking, gave a signal, and four tall and strong nurses immediately came over to assist King Jingyao onto a trolley.

King Jingyao felt like swearing, lying down, called out, "Jingchuan."

Wang Jingchuan immediately came over, attentively, "You called for me?"

"Come with me." He closed his eyes, "Min Xin, go back to work first, and we’ll discuss some things in a couple of days."

Min Xin nodded and, with a smile, said, "Then, Little Gu, I’ll leave Mr. Wang’s health in your care."

Gu Anxi smiled lightly, preparing to leave, but suddenly stopped and reached out her white palm, "Where’s the check?"

Min Xin was taken aback, "What check?"

"For Gu Mingzhu." Gu Anxi matter-of-factly.

Min Xin remembered, wrote a check with a bad attitude, and placed it in her palm, "Like a vampire."

Gu Anxi looked at the amount: ’It’s not right...’

"What’s not right? Didn’t we agree on this?" Min Xin glared at her.

Gu Anxi coughed lightly, "Oh, it’s like this. I’m taking care of her from now on, handling her daily needs. As her biological father, shouldn’t you pay some support?"

Min Xin looked at her suspiciously, "You’re taking care of her?"

"Pretty much. Anyway, she started school today." Gu Anxi tilted her head, ’Five million a year isn’t much.’

"Vampire." Min Xin wrote another check, stuffing it into her hand.

After receiving it, Gu Anxi smiled smugly, "You won’t lose out. With Gu Changqing taking care of her, you can rest assured and pursue Sister Zhou Yu."

Gu Changqing taking care?

Min Xin almost spat out blood; wasn’t she supposed to take care of her?

Gu Anxi blinked, ’That’s still from the Gu family, and I collect the payment just the same.’

Min Xin was furious, at this moment Old Wang chuckled, "See, you kindly spoke for her, now you’ve already suffered because of her, right?"

Min Xin quickly returned to normal, gently saying, "Spending a little money, but you should pay more attention to your weight. Later during the exam, you might receive... special treatment."

He finished speaking, and Old Wang’s face turned green, looking at that little bastard.

The little bastard gave him a sinister smile~~
