Chapter 33: The Situation Is True

Two more days passed, and with Nurse Lin's help, I was able to get out of bed and move about with a crutch.

I am extremely grateful to Dean Yang; his treatment plan was very successful,

allowing my injury to heal quickly,

I walked with the crutch, putting in a little effort,

although each step brought pain,

I could endure these pains.

I struggled to walk,

sweat had already broken out on my forehead from the pain.

Nurse Lin then used a towel to wipe the sweat from my forehead,

"Chairman Zhao, rest a bit before continuing."

I shook my head,

"Xiao Lin, as long as I can walk, I feel much better inside.

I'll be discharged soon. Thank you for taking care of me these days."

"Chairman Zhao, you're too polite; looking after you is my duty," Nurse Lin said politely.

"Did Dean Yang discuss with you the matter of your future hospital staff position?" I asked Nurse Lin.

"We talked, thank you so much, Chairman Zhao. I really don't know how to thank you; honestly, Chairman Zhao, you're not short of money, what should I give you to express my feelings?" Nurse Lin said excitedly.

I smiled and waved my hand,

"Nurse Lin, your care for me has been so good; that's enough, don't think about giving me anything.

you are a fine young lady. Since you like this job, just do it well." After hearing me say that, Nurse Lin looked at me gratefully, not knowing what to say.

I then said, "Nurse Lin, I have a request, which would also count as repaying your kindness. That way we owe each other nothing."

Nurse Lin said, "Tell me, Chairman Zhao, what is your request? I will agree to anything."

I said, "It's about my smoking; don't be so strict about it. I've smoked for many years; quitting all at once is impossible."

Nurse Lin laughed,

"Chairman Zhao, your smoking habit is too heavy; you even smoke at night. I've noticed it several times. Continuing like this is bad for your health.

Chairman Zhao, I won't press you, but you must not indulge yourself too much."

"Okay. Nurse Lin, you don't know, smoking reduces my stress a little; my stress is too great." I said softly.

"You're so wealthy and powerful, how can you have stress? Ordinary civilians like us bear the real stress. I want a formal staff position in the hospital, which would require more than ten times the effort of others. Many of my classmates are unemployed right after graduation, they have no jobs at all.

People your age have established careers; you should be the least stressed.

Chairman Zhao, how many people envy your life.

When you fall ill, you can get the best treatment, you don't have to worry about medical fees, and someone visits you every day. Chairman Zhao, I truly cannot understand why you would feel stressed." Nurse Lin looked at me and asked.

I could only give a hollow laugh,

"Nurse Lin, how do I explain? Everyone's life is different; don't see my glamorous exterior—my stress is actually greater than yours. You bear only your own stress, whereas I must carry the stress of many people, and behind me are countless families that depend on me,

you know why I want my leg injury to heal quickly,

being stuck in the hospital makes me anxious.

Although I don't worry about small sums, I do worry about large amounts of money.

In this world, no one should think they can live easily."

"Chairman Zhao, after hearing that, I'm still confused; I see those celebrities on TV living so easily." Nurse Lin said naively.

"Those actors are just performing for others; you don't know their lives—they cannot have their own love affairs, I mean, even their own bodies are not under their control.

Actually, being a star is most harmful,

it makes people cease to be human." I said while watching the entertainment program on TV.

A group of neither male nor female young people were dancing happily on TV,

I don't know when this effeminate trend became popular in entertainment shows—boys becoming more girlish, girls more boyish.

My daughter Ru Meng loves exactly this kind of star the most.

Truly harmful indeed.

Nurse Lin then said, "Chairman Zhao, we can't walk any longer; prolonged activity makes your leg injury harder to heal. Please go back to bed and rest."

I said, "Okay, I'll follow Nurse Lin's advice. I'll rest now; you may go, and please turn off the TV on your way out."

Nurse Lin said, "Chairman Zhao, you cannot smoke at noon, but you may have one in the evening."

I nodded.

Nurse Lin turned off the TV and then left.

I lay in bed, wondering why there was still no news from Shi Yong—two days had already passed.

Just then, Shi Yong pushed the door and entered.

"Brother, the situation is true; I've found out everything."

I hurriedly sat up from the bed,

"Shi Yong, what did you find out?"

Shi Yong then walked to my side,

"Brother, you didn't ask me to investigate the car? I sent my subordinate Er Mu to stake out Xiao Hua's home, and indeed I found out that Xiao Hua's wife Hua Yan recently bought a luxury car, called something Nan, priced over seven million yuan. Look, this is the photo."

Shi Yong finished speaking and handed me his phone,

I looked at the photo on the phone,

A beautiful luxury car stood in front, and Xiao Hua's wife Hua Yan was opening the car door.

Hua Yan is not tall, and her figure has become much plumper than before.

Watching her obese body get into the car took some effort.

Hua Yan hasn't come to work at the company since she gave birth, but her salary and benefits have never stopped.

She gave birth to a daughter first, then later to a pair of twin sons.

I remember when she gave birth to those twins, I was very happy and rewarded Hua Yan with 600,000 all at once.

Now Xiao Hua's twin sons are over ten years old.

Looking at this luxury car, I remained silent for a long time.

One car is worth 7 million; where did this money come from.

Could it have been bought with Xiao Hua's salary alone? That's completely impossible.

Really, a poor temple with a rich abbot.

The Group Company, in order to pay the owed wages to workers, even mortgaged all of the company's assets.

But they can easily buy a 7-million luxury car at a moment's notice.

I looked at it for a long time without speaking,

"Brother, tell me what to do. Confiscate the luxury car; this vehicle surely has an unclear origin."

"Anyway, your Benz also got in an accident, so you happen to have no car; this car would suit your status. Just say the word, and tomorrow I can bring security to impound the car first." Shi Yong said from the side.

After listening to Shi Yong finish speaking,

I shook my head,

Doing that would definitely not work,

Without any evidence, besides, Hua Yan is my own sister-in-law,

Having Shi Yong go seize the car would be equivalent to directly falling out with her completely.

I said to Shi Yong: "When you sent people to investigate, you didn't find anything, did you? And Xiao Hua doesn't know either, right?"

Shi Yong patted his chest and said: "Rest assured, I've done this kind of thing before, not the first time. That Er Mu kid basically doesn't come to work at the company. I specially trained him as surveillance personnel; Xiao Hua doesn't know about it."

I nodded,

"Shi Yong, we don't need to ask more about this car matter; we just pretend we don't know."

After saying that, I began deleting the photos on my phone.

Shi Yong stared at me blankly,

"Brother, why delete the photos? It was hard enough to find this out. When you return to the company, you can take your phone and question Xiao Hua about what's going on with this car. The workers can't even get their wages, yet he can afford a luxury car. This is too strange."
