45: Chapter 042 [Do Something] 45: Chapter 042 [Do Something] In the evening, meditated, in the morning, practiced boxing, during the day, went to work, and in the evening, helped Su Yuxin expel the yin energy within her body…

In the following days, Ye Fan’s life had become mundane, and although it appeared that he had integrated into the life of ordinary people, he himself felt a huge gap between him and those around him.

Because he was too idle, while the people around him seemed very busy.

Especially Yang Miaomiao, Su Yuxin’s assistant, who seemed to have endless work and frequently worked overtime.

“Assistant Yang, you need to learn to balance work and rest.

Otherwise, if you keep pushing yourself like this, it will sooner or later take a toll on your health,” Ye Fan kindly reminded her one day when he saw Yang Miaomiao severely lacking sleep and drinking coffee to stay alert.

“Thank you for your concern, Doctor Ye.”

Yang Miaomiao smiled and said, “Mr.

Su has been very kind to me, and the only way I can repay her is by working hard.

Besides, the company is going through the most important bid of the year, so it’s only right to be busy.”

“Later, I’ll write you a prescription.

You can use it to get some traditional medicine and regulate your body.”

After several days of interaction, Ye Fan had a good impression of Yang Miaomiao.

Watching her inadvertently reveal her concerns, he couldn’t help but smile and say.

“Thank…

Thank you!”

Although Yang Miaomiao didn’t know how skilled Ye Fan’s medical skills were, in her view, since Ye Fan could treat Su Yuxin’s strange illness, he surely lived up to the name of a divine doctor.

Hearing that Ye Fan was going to prescribe something to help her body, she was incomparably excited.

“You’re welcome; it’s just a small effort.”

Ye Fan smiled and continued to immerse himself in the gaming world, while Yang Miaomiao, withdrawing her grateful gaze, picked up a file and left the office.

“Bang bang—”

A moment later, just as Ye Fan was killing spree in the game, there came a knock on the office door.

“Come in.” Ye Fan, engrossed in his game, didn’t mind.

Creak!

With a soft sound, a young man dressed in an Armani suit pushed the door and entered.

Huh?

With just one look, the young man saw Ye Fan thoroughly enjoying his game, to the extent that he didn’t even look up when he entered.

“May I ask what you need?”

As the young man was still in shock, Ye Fan looked up at him and asked.

“Hello, Assistant Ye, I am Lin Zhiping, the deputy director of the General Affairs Department.”

Lin Zhiping frowned slightly and looked at Ye Fan with some annoyance, he said, “Assistant Ye, the company has a rule against playing games during work hours.

What are you doing?”

“Hmm, Minister Lin, I was just testing this computer’s settings; don’t mind me,” noticing Lin Zhiping’s annoyance, Ye Fan explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiping wanted to reprimand Ye Fan, but then he thought better of it.

After all, Ye Fan was, after all, Su Yuxin’s assistant, not someone he could scold.

Realizing this, Lin Zhiping suppressed his anger and said sternly, “Assistant Ye, could you please ask Mr.

Su for me, tell him I have something to report.”

“Okay.”

Ye Fan nodded, picked up the internal phone, and dialed Su Yuxin’s office number.

Over the days, despite spending his time playing games, Ye Fan knew that aside from the vice-president and higher-ups, anyone else needed the assistant’s permission to see Su Yuxin.

“Hello, Mr.

Su, Deputy Director Lin Zhiping of the General Affairs Department says he has something important to report to you.” Once the call connected, Ye Fan followed protocol, merely changing Yang Miaomiao’s ‘you’ to a less formal ‘you.’

This detail made Lin Zhiping’s frown deepen.

“Um…”

On the other end of the line, Su Yuxin listened to Ye Fan’s ‘request’, contemplated for several seconds, then said somewhat amusedly, “Doctor Ye, tell him to come to my office in five minutes.”

“Okay.” Ye Fan acknowledged and hung up the phone.

He turned to Lin Zhiping, “Mr.

Su said you can go to her office in five minutes.”

“Hmph!”

Lin Zhiping, full of displeasure, snorted coldly and stormed out of the office.

Five minutes later, Lin Zhiping knocked on Su Yuxin’s office door, entered upon receiving permission, and said.

“Mr.

Su.”

“Minister Lin, what do you need?”

Su Yuxin put down the document in her hand and gently massaged her Taiyang point, her expression as stern as ever.

“Yuxin, here’s the thing.

A friend of mine got a high-quality ginseng from Changbai Mountain.

I’ll have someone send it over to you, to help strengthen your body,” Lin Zhiping said with a smile, not addressing Su Yuxin as Mr.

Su, but rather affectionately calling her Yuxin — although he was only a deputy minister, his father was a deputy president and one of the founding members of the Lv Hu Group and a close friend of Su Hongyuan.

Ever since returning from studying abroad, Lin Zhiping had been trying to win over Su Yuxin.

Although he had not succeeded in capturing her heart, he had never given up.

This was also why he held animosity towards Ye Fan.

“Minister Lin, I appreciate the thought, but I don’t need the ginseng,” Su Yuxin furrowed her brows and reminded, “Also, it is work hours now.”

“Yuxin, that ginseng is quite old, perfect for bolstering your health…”

“Minister Lin, as I just said, it is work hours.

If you don’t have any work-related matters, we can talk after work,” Su Yuxin coldly interrupted Lin Zhiping.

Lin Zhiping’s face turned unsightly from being blocked, and he couldn’t help but say, “Mr.

Su, you always advocate not discussing private matters during work hours, yet I just found out Assistant Ye was playing games during work, which is a serious violation of the company’s rules, isn’t it?”

“I will handle this matter.

You may leave now!” Su Yuxin’s tone went completely cold, and she even stopped looking at Lin Zhiping, instead picking up the documents to browse through them again.

Lin Zhiping’s eyes twitched furiously, but he held back his anger and left the office without another word.

An hour later.

Yang Miaomiao returned to the office and saw that Ye Fan was still gaming, her expression hesitant.

“Assistant Yang, is there something?” Noticing Yang Miaomiao’s unusual behavior, Ye Fan took the initiative to ask.

Yang Miaomiao explained, “Divine Doctor, somehow it leaked that you were gaming during work hours, and now it’s creating a buzz around the whole company…”

“Has this caused any trouble for Lady Su?”

Hearing this, the image of Lin Zhiping flashed in Ye Fan’s mind.

He didn’t care about what others said about him, but he didn’t want to cause any trouble for Su Yuxin.

“Mr.

Su said she didn’t mind, but she was worried that it might upset you,” said Yang Miaomiao, her expression rather odd.

“She also said that to avoid anyone seeing you gaming in the future, she suggested that I swap seats with you, so no one can see what you are doing.”

“Alright.”

Ye Fan smiled wryly and nodded.

For him, if he wasn’t gaming, he truly wouldn’t know what else to do in the company.

As Yang Miaomiao had said, when Ye Fan went to the dining hall at lunch, many people’s attitudes toward him changed dramatically, their looks full of disdain and annoyance!

Among them, the women scorned Ye Fan for ‘advancing by selling his body’—in their eyes, this was the most incompetent manifestation in a man!

Ironically, many of these women would have loved to advance by selling their bodies.

The men felt that Su Yuxin was blind to keep Ye Fan around, yet they secretly wished to trade ten years of their lives to take Ye Fan’s place…

As for all this, Ye Fan didn’t care at all—if Su Yuxin didn’t care, why should he?

…

As the day of bidding for the ‘Binhe New District Phase I Project’ neared, in the evening, Su Yuxin told Ye Fan to drive back home first while she stayed to work overtime at the office.

After hearing this, Ye Fan warned Su Yuxin not to overwork herself, but she, unable to put her mind at ease, insisted on staying behind to work overtime.

Having no choice, Ye Fan stayed to wait for Su Yuxin, and they didn’t leave until nine at night.

“I’m sorry, Divine Doctor, for dragging you into this,” Su Yuxin said apologetically on the way back.

She knew she had unknowingly owed Ye Fan too much.

As she spoke, Su Yuxin leaned back in the seat, looking utterly exhausted and unwilling to move even a bit.

The pale yellow light in the car allowed Ye Fan to clearly see that Su Yuxin’s normally charming face had turned somewhat waxy yellow from continuous overworking, her eye sockets slightly darkened, and one could even see the bloodshot eyes, making her look extremely haggard.

At that moment, she resembled a wilted foxtail, persisting only because of the toughness ingrained in her bones.

Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but feel the urge to protect her.

However, he didn’t act on it and instead sighed, saying, “It doesn’t bother me, but if you keep overworking like this, not only will your body become weaker, but it might also cause a relapse and worsen your condition.”

“I know, but there’s nothing I can do.

This bid is too important,” Su Yuxin said wearily.

“Gou Wei and Su Feiyu were respectively sentenced to ten and three years.

The He Family used the matter of Gou Wei and Su Feiyu to sow discord, claiming how the Gou Family sold out yet helped us count the money.

Angered, Gou Zhifeng completely fell out with us, the Su Family, and some of the partners who were on good terms with us also switched sides, canceling their cooperation with us and joining the He Family,” she explained.

“All of this has put our family in a temporary fix.

This time in the bid, the He Family is going all out to compete with us.

If we let the He Family succeed, it won’t just be about losing a project worth tens of billions—it’s certain they will strike while the iron is hot, using this opportunity to rise above us!”

As she spoke, Su Yuxin clenched her fists tightly, her expression becoming extremely determined, “So, no matter what, the Su Family must win the Binhe New District Phase I Project!”

The He Family?

As Su Yuxin’s words echoed in his ears, Ye Fan couldn’t help but think of the conversation he had with Xu Weize that day, suspecting that Xu Weize was spoken of as Young Master He was from the He Family.

This speculation caused Ye Fan’s brow to furrow immediately.

Although he knew little about business competition, he understood that if Xu Weize was a mole placed in the Su Family by He Jia’an, then the bidding, no matter how hard Su Yuxin tried, might sadly end in tragedy.

Given how determined Su Yuxin was to win the bid, if this scenario turned into reality, Su Yuxin would face unpredictably severe repercussions!

At that time, what Su Yuxin would face would not just be a simple matter of her condition relapsing, but it could very likely cost her life!

Aside from the fact that curing Su Yuxin was Ye Fan’s mission for coming down the mountain, as her doctor, he absolutely wouldn’t allow his patient to die under his care!

Moreover, he already considered Su Yuxin a friend in his heart.

“Looks like I need to do something.”

Looking at the heavily burdened Su Yuxin, Ye Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
