CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 41 CHEMOTHERAPY

After hearing this, Zhang Shaoting felt a chill down his spine.

Zhang Qishan took a deep breath, "I can still clearly remember the look in your third uncle’s eyes—shock, fear, dread, awe, admiration... I don’t know what kind of experience could have caused such a look, but I know for sure, this Yang Chen is absolutely not someone we should provoke!"

Zhang Shaoting swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that my third uncle got it wrong?"

Zhang Qishan shook his head, "If you knew about the few major events that happened in Lijia Continent, you wouldn’t think that your third uncle would mistake someone. What I can tell you now is, never provoke Yang Chen again. If we can recruit him, great; if not, then stay far away from him, and definitely do not offend him!"

Zhang Shaoting quickly nodded, he’s not stupid, he knows his father would never make up stories to deceive him over these matters. Actually, he’s the one who can most feel the danger of Yang Chen, because he can never forget that look from before!

"Let’s go! To the hospital, tell the old man, we’re bringing him over tomorrow." Zhang Qishan said to the driver.

"Yes!"

...

All morning, Wei Xueqing met with three clients, and Yang Chen followed her all the time.

Wei Xueqing felt very uncomfortable, and so did the clients, but the business deal was finished nevertheless.

After the clients left, Wei Xueqing couldn’t take it anymore. She walked into the office, closed the door behind her, and yelled at Yang Chen, "Yang Chen! Can’t you be a little flexible? I’m conducting business with clients, why do you have to follow me? Do you know how awkward it is for both the clients and me?"

Yang Chen stared at Wei Xueqing and said, "It’s when you’re interacting with others that you’re most at risk. If I’m not by your side during those times, I won’t be able to react in time if danger occurs!"

Wei Xueqing felt Yang Chen was unreasonable, "Those people are just clients, just clients, do you understand? They’re not killers or assassins, and they definitely won’t harm me, get it?"

"No one can say for sure!"

"You!"

Wei Xueqing was about to explode with anger.

Her father asking Yang Chen to be her bodyguard was definitely a huge mistake!

I’m afraid I might get angry to death by Yang Chen before being harmed by any malicious person.

Wei Xueqing angrily sat in her seat, looking at the screen in front of her, her heart filled with ire.

Zhou Lan walked in, seeing Wei Xueqing looking unwell, she felt unsure but still had to report the work, so she whispered, "President Wei, there’s a 4A company that had an appointment with you yesterday, do you want to meet them?"

"No meeting!" Wei Xueqing directly refused, angrily said, "Why meet? As long as this person is here, I can’t do business!"

"Uh!" Zhou Lan had never seen Wei Xueqing have such resentment towards anyone, couldn’t help but worry about Yang Chen’s fate.

She thought for a moment, said, "How about letting Manager Cheng Yang talk to them?"

Wei Xueqing nodded, not everything needs her to personally handle, and the remaining people are quite capable, they can manage these negotiations.

"Then let Cheng Yang handle it, tell him our goal is top-tier fashion design, not just any client can be brushed off. If they want to land our deal, they have to present the most stunning work, otherwise, there are plenty of people who would rush to do it."

Zhou Lan nodded repeatedly.

"Also..."

Wei Xueqing had more instructions to give, but then heard a deafening noise.

"Unity is strength, unity is strength, this strength is iron, this strength is steel..."

The decibel level of this sound was comparable to installing a subwoofer in the office!

Wei Xueqing was shaking with anger, staring at the position behind the screen.

Yang Chen awkwardly walked out from behind the screen, holding an ancient button phone, trying to cover the speaker, but the piercing sound still came roaring from it.

Only three people know the number he’s using, Wei Qingzhong, Wei Xueqing, and Qin Zhiyuan.

Normally, none of them will call him. Also, in these past two days since returning, Yang Chen hadn’t needed his phone much, so he didn’t pay attention to it, nor set it to vibrate.

Who would know Qin Zhiyuan would suddenly call him.

Yang Chen awkwardly smiled at Wei Xueqing, pointed at the phone and said, "I’ll step outside to take a call."

"Get out right now!" Wei Xueqing was about to explode with anger, she couldn’t understand whether Yang Chen was here to be a bodyguard or to cause chaos.

Watching Yang Chen walk outside, Wei Xueqing took quite a while to calm down, she wanted to continue instructing but already forgot what she was going to say, so she asked, "Where was I?"

Zhou Lan quickly said, "You just mentioned our goal is top-tier fashion design, they need to present the most impressive plan to us."

"Right! We’re now working on domestic top-tier brands, the next aim is international top-tier!" Wei Xueqing resumed her commanding mentality, continuing to guide Zhou Lan.

...

Yang Chen walked to the window at the end of the corridor, answered the phone.

"Hello, Director."

"Xiaochen, Yanyan just finished chemotherapy, the reactions are severe, she’s crying to see you, can you..."

Hearing the pleading tone of the Director on the phone, Yang Chen couldn’t help but clench his fist.

Yang Chen took a deep breath, said softly, "Director, let Yanyan take the call."

Before long, Yang Chen felt the phone switched to another person.

Immediately from the other side came sounds of vomiting, along with painful groans.

"Wah, ugh! Brother Yang Chen, I feel awful, everything hurts, I feel like I’m dying, can you come see me? I’m afraid I’ll die without seeing you." On the other side of the phone, Chen Siyan was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Hearing Chen Siyan’s painful voice, Yang Chen also felt distressed.

When they were young, Chen Siyan was just a little girl, always trailing him. The Director would tie her hair into two perky ponytails, bouncing as she walked, giggling whenever teased, eyes curving into crescent moons, facing skyward, as if nothing could trouble her.

Back then, Yang Chen adored Chen Siyan the most.

Thinking of the past, comparing with now, Yang Chen couldn’t imagine how the once cheerful girl has become like this. What kind of pain did Chen Siyan endure in his absence all those years? When he wasn’t around, did she endure the pain alone, or did she cry to the Director?

Given her character, Yang Chen felt that she probably gritted her teeth and endured more. She used to be so well-behaved, not liking to trouble others or letting others worry.

If she wasn’t in unbearable pain, she wouldn’t say this to him.

"Be good, Yanyan, I’ll... I’ll come see you at noon, okay? I’m at work right now and can’t leave, hang in there, I believe you can do it." Yang Chen almost gritted his teeth saying this.

Chen Siyan is enduring tremendous pain, while he can’t leave work because of this, which isn’t a qualified excuse.
