On the way back, the female doctor sat in the car. As she sorted out the list of medical examinations, she said, âDoctor Qin, youâve made an exception today, havenât you? Our hospital usually has so many doctors and nurses chasing you, and you donât even give me your phone number. Usually, I can only call your office phone or work number. However, you actually gave your phone number to a four-year-old girl? If Iâm not mistaken, thatâs your private number, right?â
Qin Sitingâs expression was indifferent and calm. His tone was normal. âChildren are innocent and pure. Just as you said, I canât leave her with a shadow of heartbreak. Itâs just a phone number. Treat it as fulfilling a small wish of hers.â
The female doctor chuckled. âI didnât expect Doctor Qin to have such an understanding side. But speaking of which, itâs really easy to interact with children. Iâve been busy for the whole morning and donât feel tired. My mood is quite good. No wonder you let yourself go.â
Qin Siting did not speak again. He had been on duty last night and had come to help in the morning. He was indeed tired and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing that he had returned to being the cold and silent Doctor Qin who was too lazy to say anything, the female doctor lowered her head and did not dare disturb him.
The teacher was still in disbelief in the kindergarten, but she quickly handed the note to Lele.
Lele held the note with a string of beautiful numbers and widened her eyes. âWow!â
âWoah, what are you doing? What is this?â The little boy who had been talking to her approached to take a look.
âIâm not showing it to you!â Kele quickly held the note tightly in her arms, then quickly picked up the small bag and stuffed it into the compartment of the bag. She placed it with the picture of her father and zipped up the small compartment as if it was a treasure, in case it was lost or broken.
âTch, if you donât want to show me, then donât. My mother brought me a little dinosaur today. I wonât show you!â
âI donât want to look at little dinosaurs.â Shi Kele turned her head and ignored him. She turned around and picked up the pinyin book to continue reading. She thought about the note and then covered her face behind the book with a smile as she read.
Hehehehe, she had to call the handsome doctor!
...
âSorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Sorry...â
For a whole week, she called Xiao Da, but his phone was turned off. This bastard said that he would contact her after he woke up, but then he disappeared.
Usually, everyone was in Hai City. In the past few years, Xiao Da had opened several chain bars in the country. Their business was good and very profitable. The largest bar had always been in Hai City. Logically speaking, even if he went out, he would at most go to the province where the other bars were located. His phone would not mysteriously be turned off.
Either something had happened, or he was avoiding her.
Based on Xiao Daâs attitude when he first saw her with Qin Siting, Shi Niange had always trusted her friends and never suspected anything. However, now that Xiao Da was missing, she could not help but suspect that he must have done something.
Something so wrong that he was avoiding her now.
Would Xiao Luye know?
Shi Niange sat in the office with her phone in her hand, deep in thought. She was about to call Xiao Luye, but she did not call him after thinking about it.
She knew very well how Xiao Luye had treated her and Lele in the past few years, but she had been avoiding him. Usually, she tried her best to avoid him. Why was she calling him now?
But what exactly did Xiao Da do back then?
As she was thinking, someone knocked on the office door. She placed her phone down with one hand and said, âCome in.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Following this, she saw Chairman Xu, who held the most shares, walking in. Chairman Xu was old and in his seventies. When he came in, he had a crutch in his hand and two women walking behind him. They looked to be in their forties. They were probably either his daughter or the staff by his side.
After she returned to the country, Chairman Xu had never interacted with her. Every time, his staff were the ones who participated in the companyâs matters or management meetings. He did not express his attitude, but his people were always aggressive.
Today, they must have come together.
âCEO Shi, this morning, the marketing department said that you planned to combine the local marketing department with your subsidiary company. If I remember correctly, the company you wanted to transfer to has always been under my name. I canât understand why I suddenly heard this news. Why did you plan to combine the two without my permission? After combining the two, will the company belong to me or the headquarters?â
The elderly Chairman Xu walked to her desk with a walking stick in his hand. With his old age and stern gaze, he stood there like an elder preparing to teach someone a lesson.
Shi Niangeâs brows did not move. She sat there calmly. âIs that company under Chairman Xuâs name? Before I announced this news, I checked the management information of all the subsidiary companies. I only saw several subsidiary companies from other provinces under Chairman Xuâs name. This subsidiary company that has always been very stable in business profits is not under your name. Furthermore, all the other companies under your name are still under the headquartersâ ownership. Chairman Xu, you are only in charge of management. All the decisions are made by the headquarters. Firstly, the company Iâm going to use is not under your name. I donât need your approval. Secondly, if Chairman Xu has any thoughts about combining the two departments, please bring them to the table personally during the next executive meeting. Donât let your subordinates go to the meeting on your behalf.â
Chairman Xu frowned. âIâm already so old. I canât attend the meeting on time if Iâm not feeling well. Canât I send someone over?â
âItâs not impossible, but since you often use your age as an excuse, Chairman Xu, I think there are still a lot of young and capable people in the company. Itâll be good for everyone if you give up your position as soon as possible.â Shi Niange was neither servile nor overbearing and did not stand on ceremony with him.
âYou!â Chairman Xu widened his old but spirited eyes. â Your parents are no longer around. In the past few years, youâve been in charge of Shida. Are you really so arrogant that you want to drive away all of us who have been together since we started this business?â
âDad, donât be angry. Donât lower yourself to the level of a child. CEO Shi is still young. Isnât she relying on you elders to support her? She is young and rash. You should educate her well. Donât be angry. Itâs not worth it.â The woman in her forties rushed over and patted his back.
Shi Niange sat behind the desk, her gaze still indifferent as she looked at Chairman Xu. âA few days ago, I heard something. Three years ago, when I wasnât in the country and Shida was running for the overall managerial position in the country, there was a competitor of yours, Chairman Wang, who was about thirty years younger than you. He mysteriously died in a car accident. I wonder if you still have any impression of this, Chairman Xu?â
