Chapter 315: Chapter 310: Phoenix Man
At that time, because Ye Qiu’s research was at a critical moment, they had not seen each other for a long time, but on the day when the experiment succeeded, he still told Zhang Meng the news immediately.
That day, the usually calm Ye Qiu seemed a bit excited. They drank a bit of red wine, and then Ye Qiu took out the diamond ring he had bought a long time ago and proposed to Zhang Meng.
She still remembered the moment when she cried and agreed, and Ye Qiu buried his head in her shoulder, his voice was a bit hoarse: "Mengmeng, I finally have the ability to marry you. I promised I would prove to everyone that your choice is correct."
The subsequent development was somewhat uncontrolled, and she spent much of the night in Ye Qiu’s tenderness, both drifting in and out of sleep, their lips curled with a sweet smile.
Zhang Meng, facing Zhang Changfeng’s teasing expression, looked somewhat embarrassed, but her eyes were always fixed on Ye Qiu on the TV.
There’s a saying that men turn bad when they get rich, although it’s somewhat far-fetched, it’s not without basis. Zhang Changfeng once worried that Ye Qiu might change after becoming successful, but now it seems he was overthinking it.
Moreover, over the years, he has seen Ye Qiu’s actions; the affection Ye Qiu shows towards his daughter isn’t fake, nor is the respect towards him as a father-in-law. There was once a great opportunity before him, but he didn’t choose to take over Changfeng Group, and started everything from scratch instead.
Now it proves that Ye Qiu’s decision was the right one. Taking over Changfeng Group would only have hindered his growth. Just the dividends recognized by the country alone are many times more valuable than the Changfeng Group.
Zhang Changfeng is a doctor, from the day he started studying medicine, he rooted the belief of saving lives deep in his heart, and now he even admits, if Ye Qiu had really followed his arrangements, then the world would have one less cure, and millions of cancer patients would still suffer and die in pain.
Fortunately, Ye Qiu is a person of strong will, capabilities, and incredible intelligence on his own.
"Hello, okay, I’ll come right away." Zhang Meng received a phone call, her expression turning more somber.
"What happened?" Zhang Changfeng asked worriedly.
"There was a serial car accident on Fuhua Road, there are quite a few casualties, and the director asked me to rush back." Zhang Meng spoke while changing her shoes.
"I’ll go with you."
Zhang Changfeng rarely performs surgeries himself these days, mainly handling issues in the group, but with so many casualties suddenly appearing, he also needed to take charge.
The surgery lasted more than five hours, but fortunately, all the casualties were saved. Zhang Meng and her colleagues leaned back in the resting chairs, looking exhausted but happy; they had successfully saved another life.
"Director, you are truly amazing." A young nurse poured a cup of water for each doctor, excitedly said.
"It’s all worth it." The director smiled relaxedly, although there were many misunderstandings about their profession, they just need to sit back guilt-free, as saving a life with their own hands was their motivation.
"But the really amazing one is Zhang Meng’s boyfriend. I saw that news, he is truly a savior." The director gave Zhang Meng a thumbs up, those who knew the news looked at Zhang Meng with envy and blessings, and those who didn’t know immediately had someone explain it to them.
"Director, you’re exaggerating." Zhang Meng smiled modestly.
Li Xin, who had come over at some point, suddenly sat beside her: "Mengmeng, when is Ye Qiu coming back? Shall we hold a celebration party for him?"
Zhang Meng declined: "Ye Qiu is quite busy now, and he doesn’t like lively events, so let’s skip the celebration party."
"How can we skip it?" Li Xin looked at Zhang Meng, her face showing disapproval, "Ye Qiu doesn’t like buzz, and we won’t invite others. It’ll just be our few classmates and friends. I’ll arrange the time and place, and make sure it doesn’t inconvenience him."
"Xinxin, let’s just forget it. Ye Qiu said that once he’s back from Jing City, he’ll start preparing for the wedding, he is really busy."
Li Xin smiled, "Then we should definitely get together, aren’t you guys going to throw a pre-wedding party?"
"But..." Zhang Meng still wanted to refuse, because Ye Qiu was indeed very busy recently, and she didn’t want to trouble him.
"There’s no ’but.’" Li Xin pretended to be angry, "Mengmeng, are we still friends? We just want to celebrate for Ye Qiu and wish you two to tie the knot. Don’t you even agree to that?"
Zhang Meng had grown up with Li Xin and they were always close. Seeing her genuinely upset, Zhang Meng felt uncomfortable and said, "Alright then, but I need to ask Ye Qiu if he has time first."
Hearing her response, Li Xin immediately brightened with a smile: "Mengmeng, I knew you were the best."
For some reason, at this moment, Zhang Meng felt something was amiss in her heart, but she couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.
"Let’s settle with that then. You must tell me when Ye Qiu comes back!" Having said that, Li Xin fluttered away like a butterfly, her steps light, as if she encountered something very joyful.
The director glanced at Zhang Meng, who hesitated to speak. Having worked in the hospital for over a decade, he had seen Zhang Meng and Li Xin grow up. From their childhood, Li Xin had always been more shrewd than Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng, well protected by the dean, always looked on the bright side of things, oblivious to the changing nature of people.
"Zhang Meng, be careful at the party. Don’t let Ye Qiu drink too much," the director warned subtly.
Zhang Meng cheerfully responded: "Director, don’t worry, Ye Qiu rarely drinks."
"Be careful yourself, don’t be naive and trust everyone." The director patted her shoulder and slowly walked back to his office.
Meanwhile, Li Xin who had just returned to her office, clicked on Ye Qiu’s profile in the WeChat group, sent him a private message: "Ye Qiu, congratulations, truly impressive!" After sending it, she also sent a cute cheer-up picture, and then requested to add him as a friend again.
Initially when Ye Qiu and Zhang Meng started dating, he was just a poor student, naturally unaccepted by Li Xin, and it was impossible for Ye Qiu to take the initiative to add her, so their only connection was through the class group.
Later, as Ye Qiu submerged himself in experiments and achieved fame and success, Li Xin’s friend requests were never accepted. She felt annoyed but kept comforting herself that Ye Qiu was just too busy to check his phone, otherwise he wouldn’t ignore her.
But the truth is known only to the concerned parties, even with a busy schedule, Ye Qiu always made daily calls to Zhang Meng. Li Xin’s messages and friend requests, did he truly not see them? No, he simply couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Because he knew all too well what kind of person Li Xin was.
