Zhan Bei Jue saw that the two men bore a resemblance to Elder Zhang and extended his hand to shake theirs.
"I am Zhan Bei Jue. May I ask if you are here to see Mr. Zhang?"
As natives of Nancheng, especially those in the electrical industry, who didn't know Zhan Bei Jue?
He had only seen him on television or in the news before, and this was his first time meeting him in person.
As Zhan Bei Jue's hand was extended, the two men quickly grasped it to shake.
"Mr. Zhan, what is the matter that you asked us to come to the hospital so late at night?"
Zhan Bei Jue briefly explained the situation to them.
"I apologize for intruding upon your home without your consent. I take full responsibility for what happened."
"Please rest assured, I will cover all of Elder Zhang's medical expenses and subsequent treatment. I hope you will not hold it against me."
Seeing Zhan Bei Jue's sincere words.
He was far more approachable than the rumors suggested.
The brothers exchanged glances and simultaneously expressed their understanding.
"We understand our father's health. Even without any disturbances, he falls ill every three days and rests every five. Mr. Zhan, please don't say that."
"So, why did you come to see my father today..."
"To accompany her," Zhan Bei Jue said, turning to indicate Jiang Nan Fang by the hospital bed.
"The person inside is my friend. She is currently employed at Shangcheng Ke's Electrical Company."
"The CEO of Ke's Group, Ke Jing Yu, intends to expand into Nancheng and wishes to acquire an established electrical company for collaboration. He has appointed her as his representative."
"Given Huatai's current situation and Elder Zhang's physical condition, I believe it would be better to proceed with an acquisition."
"I hope you will consider it carefully and discuss the acquisition with her. She is very sincere, and the terms are not an issue."
"If there is anything I can do to assist, I will cooperate fully. Here is my phone number. If you encounter any problems in the future, or if Elder Zhang has any issues, feel free to contact me at any time."
After Elder Zhang fell asleep, Jiang Nan Fang came out of the ward, but Zhan Bei Jue was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, two other men were present.
"Miss Jiang, we are representatives from Huatai Electrical. When are you free to discuss the acquisition?"
It was somewhat considerate of Zhan Bei Jue.
Seeing that Elder Zhang had been angered into illness, he did not interfere further.
Jiang Nan Fang spent the afternoon negotiating the acquisition matters with Elder Zhang's son and signed the contract.
One of her most sincere terms, which ultimately led the two Mr. Zhangs to agree to cooperate with her, was:
Rehiring Elder Zhang to continue as the president of Huatai Electrical. He would be responsible for all operational matters, excluding product research and development.
At seven in the evening, after a day of running errands, Jiang Nan Fang finished dinner and had to move to Guanlan International by herself.
While packing her clothes in the hotel and talking on the phone with Ke Jing Yu to report the situation, Zhou Jin Xiu suddenly paid her a visit.
After hanging up the phone and seeing Jiang Nan Fang's suitcase open with clothes scattered all over the sofa, Zhou Jin Xiu was startled.
"What's going on? Are you leaving Nancheng? Where are you going? Why are you leaving without telling me? You woman, why do you like to leave without saying goodbye? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Jiang Nan Fang threw a piece of clothing at his head, telling him to calm down.
"I'm just moving. I'm not leaving. Don't yell."
"Tell me, what are you looking for me for now? To be your free labor?"
So she wasn't leaving, just moving.
Zhou Jin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved to her side to help her fold clothes.
"What are you saying? Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? Come, come, I'll help you move. You worked hard for me the other day, let me be your driver and show my respect."
She was just feeling bored and lonely moving into her new place alone, so having someone to liven things up and distract her was good.
Jiang Nan Fang tacitly agreed to his help.
After some packing, the two drove to the underground parking lot of Guanlan International.
Because she had seen a memorable scene here last time, Jiang Nan Fang subconsciously looked at the parking space opposite as soon as they entered.
Fortunately, the car owner was not present today, and the parking space was empty.
The two pulled their luggage and chatted all the way upstairs.
Upon arriving at the apartment and putting their things down, Zhou Jin Xiu awkwardly told Jiang Nan Fang.
Her proposal was excellent, but the effect could not be achieved. Could she work overtime and provide on-site guidance?
"..."
Within five minutes, Jiang Nan Fang had retreated from her new home.
The elevator went down, and as it reached the 20th floor, the door opened.
The young woman she had seen that day arguing with a man in the parking lot walked in with a look of annoyance.
She stood with her back to Jiang Nan Fang and Zhou Jin Xiu. Her phone had been ringing non-stop since she entered.
However, each time it rang, she hung up within two seconds. Jiang Nan Fang guessed it was the man calling her.
From the 20th floor down to the first floor, the phone rang more than five times repeatedly.
Finally, as they were about to land and everyone was getting impatient, she answered.
"I've already aborted the child. It's gone. We have no relationship anymore. Can you please stop calling me?"
"I don't want your house, and I don't want your car either. I'll mail you the keys tomorrow. I'm moving out now and won't take advantage of you. What else are you unhappy about?"
"Don't talk about the past, I don't want to mention it! You can't give me a future, what does it mean to keep dragging me along like this?"
"I'm begging you, don't contact me anymore. Just let me go."
The elevator doors opened, and Fang Yuan, while speaking angrily to Father Zhou, walked forward with the click-clack of her high heels.
Zhou Jin Xiu stared at her retreating back with interest and deliberately lagged a couple of steps behind to gossip with Jiang Nan Fang.
"Who recommended this apartment complex to you? It's a gathering place for the mistresses of old men."
"Have you paid the money? If not, I suggest you cancel it quickly. Staying with women like this for too long can ruin your reputation, even if you're innocent."
Jiang Nan Fang shot him a sideways glance. "Which eye tells you that woman is a mistress?"
"Every eye can tell," Zhou Jin Xiu said with disdain.
"You're not a man, you wouldn't understand. Her attire, her posture, her tone of voice – it's obvious she's the type of 'innocent' silly girl that middle-aged, greasy old men dote on."
"She dresses like a little white rabbit, but in reality, she's more calculating than anyone. Only foolish men with too much money fall for them."
"..."
After a few words, without paying attention, Fang Yuan, who had been walking ahead, suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Nan Fang looked around in confusion, couldn't see her, but then spotted a discarded high-heeled shoe behind a pillar directly in front of them.
"Strange, why did that person suddenly disappear while walking? Is this shoe hers? How could it..."
Zhou Jin Xiu grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Don't look at unlucky things, it's creepy. Aren't you afraid of being haunted by something unclean?"
"Just keep walking. Don't mind her. For people in her profession, it's their own fault if they face risks. It's normal for her to lose it."
"Don't bother. Let's go quickly!"
