“Eh, Doctor Lin, why are you going back on your word? We had just agreed everything nicely a moment ago.”
The shop owner had not expected that when he called the landlord over to sign the contract, Lin Jian would suddenly change his mind. He was a bit annoyed and accused Lin Jian of messing him around.
Lin Jian said apologetically, “Brother Zhang, I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I was too impulsive just now.”
“This street is busy with lots of foot traffic. You’ve put up the transfer notice, so it’ll be rented out again very quickly.”
“I’ll head off first.”
Lin Jian hurriedly left.
In his heart, Zhan Yue sneered: coward.
Since the contract could not be signed, Zhan Yue had to report back to Big Sister-in-law.
Hai Tong did not mind at all. If it did not work this time, it would work next time. Shops on that street never stayed empty for long.
Shops on other streets sometimes remained vacant for a while after a tenant moved out.
She told Zhan Yue to keep the two copies of the contract. Next time there was a new tenant, he could go and help sign again.
Zhan Yue returned to the Zeng family clinic.
Lin Jian would try to make his presence felt in front of Second Uncle and Second Aunt, but so would he.
As the young master of the Zhan family, Zhan Yue was eloquent and knowledgeable. No matter what Second Uncle wanted to talk about, he could keep the conversation going.
Even when it came to gossip, Eighth Young Master Zhan had plenty.
For example, gossip about employees in the company. Of course, he never mentioned real names.
When it came to gossip about his own family or friends, he never breathed a word.
They chatted until deep into the night before Zhan Yue finally left.
At the same time, in the hospital, Lin Jian was carrying the late-night snack he had personally prepared for Zeng Xiaoya and headed to her department.
Zeng Xiaoya was not in her consultation room.
He asked a nurse and was told that the night was especially busy. Zeng Xiaoya had already performed two surgeries that evening and was now in her third.
Lin Jian asked, “Did someone eat mangoes or drink Wangwang milk?”
People who work in hospitals dread receiving mangoes, Wangwang milk, or Wangwang snowflake crisps.
If someone brings those snacks to eat, or someone gives them as gifts, the entire floor’s medical staff will be run off their feet that night.
The female nurse gave a wry smile and said, “A patient was discharged and, to thank us, sent over a big bag of fruit. There were mangoes in it.”
Lin Jian laughed. “No wonder. Well, I’ll leave the late-night snack in Doctor Zeng’s room. She can eat it when she finishes surgery.”
“Please tell her for me that I brought the snack and that I cooked it myself specially for her.”
The nurse understood and smiled. “Alright, I’ll pass the message to Doctor Zeng.”
Doctor Zeng really has quite a few admirers.
Even her senior from school likes her.
…
One week later.
Yangcheng.
A little after four in the afternoon, the sun was no longer as fierce as it had been at noon.
There was still one hour to go before the end of the workday at Lan Group.
Zhan Wei had arranged a sea of flowers at the entrance to Lan Group. He was personally holding a huge bouquet of roses and had prepared a diamond ring, ready to propose to Lan Ruoruo.
He had also rented a small helicopter that would soon release his proposal message in the sky and scatter flower petals within the area in front of Lan Group, creating a romantic scene of a celestial maiden scattering flowers.
He was confident the proposal would succeed.
The two of them had already met each other’s parents, and both families were very satisfied.
Zhan Wei also knew the Lan family was pressing Ruoruo to register their marriage with him soon, but he had not yet proposed.
Whatever others had, his Ruoruo must have too.
So he had arranged to propose publicly when Lan Ruoruo finished work that afternoon, letting everyone at Lan Group witness their happiness.
The commotion at the company entrance meant many employees already knew what was happening.
