Chapter 647: Watching Shi Yong

After a moment of hesitation, Tian Shi asked, "Jianqiang, does Mr. Wen know what you just said?"

I shook my head,

"I haven't told Mr. Wen yet. Because I want to get the genuine contract from Yang Tao first, then report to Mr. Wen."

"Jianqiang, this matter is extremely complicated, already beyond the scope of our abilities.

I feel it's better to inform Mr. Wen in advance so he can prepare early," Tian Shi said, taking a drag of his cigarette.

"Tian Shi, regarding this matter, I won't report it, because I've been in direct contact with Wang Ge. I think you should find time to remind Mr. Wen and see what he says.

The Wang Family's strength is just sitting there," I also took a drag of my cigarette.

"Yeah, I didn't expect the Wang Family's reach could extend to a place like Zaocheng.

Da Heng Group truly is a tempting treasure; anyone who comes wants a bite.

Jianqiang, about this, I'll speak, and you don't need to ask.

"Let's first hear what Mr. Wen has to say," Tian Shi said.

I nodded,

"Tian Shi, it's still more than two months until the New Year. Wang Ge said, wait until after the New Year.

So some things still need to be prepared early.

After all, we can't afford to offend the Wang Family."

"Damn it, what the heck are these, never giving up, old and never dying—just thieves. We have too many old thieves here," Tian Shi cursed.

But swearing doesn't solve any problem; if I could swear them to death, I'd have done it already.

They aren't even afraid of being cursed.

Tian Shi looked at me and continued, "Jianqiang, let's set these aside for now and focus on our main business. Go to Beishan, Hulutao and other places as soon as possible and see what the actual situation there is like.

I'm too busy now, no time for research; I don't really trust the reports they gave.

I only trust what you say."

"Thank you for Tian Shi's trust."

"No need to be formal; do we still need to exchange those polite words between us?

Jianqiang, we have many tasks; the tourism project in Xue County you mentioned really is worth pursuing.

I talked with the person in charge of Shanghu a few days ago; they are willing to cede a piece of land in Shanghu for Xue County to build a pier.

This would not only boost tourism in Xue County, but also in Shanghu.

As long as we get the tourism project right, we won't have to worry about anything else," Tian Shi said sincerely.

I reached out my hand,

"Tian Shi, today I'll first go back to Beishan, Hulutao and other mountainous areas to see the real situation there, to plan the next step of development."

"Alright, Jianqiang, go ahead and be busy; if anything comes up, we'll communicate properly between us," Tian Shi said, shaking my hand.

Leaving Tian Shi's office, I felt quite relaxed.

Because I've already spoken out about what Wang Ge said, let Tian Shi report it to Wen Han. We'll see what Wen Han says before deciding the next step.

After leaving Tian Shi's office, I went to the city hospital.

Since Shi Yong said his body had recovered, I went to see him,

to see if he truly had recovered,

if he can be discharged today, I'll take him back to Beishan, Hulutao and other places for research.

I quickly arrived at the hospital and reached the doorway of Shi Yong's ward.

Before I even entered, I heard Shi Yong humming,

"Darling, you fly with me, through the jungle to see the creek water; darling, let's dance, dancing so that spring will never grow dark…"

I didn't expect Shi Yong to sing such a lyrical song,

Living here, perhaps Shi Yong's character has changed as well.

I called out from behind,

"Shi Yong."

"Darling…

Brother, why are you here? Weren't you in the Provincial Capital?" Shi Yong turned his head and saw it was me,

and immediately stopped singing.

"Why are you singing such a soft, watery song, instead of those manly ones?" I laughed.

"Brother, my whole life has been fighting and killing, living very roughly, with no meaning. I feel I can no longer live that way.

I want to live again.

That means making my emotions delicate.

To become a man with feeling and loyalty," Shi Yong said with deep emotion.

Can a disease change a person's character? I asked myself.

I don't know,

Anyway, before Shi Yong was as rough as he could be; now that he's become delicate,

I really find it hard to accept.

I smiled, "Alright, Shi Yong, how's your recovery? We still have a lot to do.

I'll check with Dean Yang in a moment: can you be discharged today? If you can, come with me to Hulutao for a walk."

"Discharge me today, brother, I want to stay a few more days," Shi Yong said hesitantly, looking at me.

Shi Yong didn't want to be discharged, contrary to my expectation.

"Shi Yong, what's the matter? They hospitalized you, you were angry, and now they're letting you out, and you're still unwilling?" I asked Shi Yong.

Shi Yong smiled sheepishly,

"Brother, what are you going back to Hulutao for?"

"I'm going back to my hometown to have a look. It's been so many years, and I've never gone back."

"Fine, go ask Dean Yang if I can be discharged; if I can, I'll go with you." Shi Yong said helplessly.

"You look really unwilling; did you flirt with the female nurse in the hospital?" I said, looking at Shi Yong.

"Brother, how vulgar you sound—what's there to flirt about? We're all just friends. Purely friends." Shi Yong said, his face turning red.

This Shi Yong, no need to ask, he's definitely up to something in the hospital.

"Purely friends—don't kid yourself."

After saying that, I took out my phone, found Dean Yang's number, and called.

Not long after, Dean Yang answered the phone,

"Hello, Jianqiang."

"Hello, Dean Yang, I wanted to ask how Shi Yong's condition is and whether he can be discharged." I asked over the phone.

"Shi Yong's condition—all his test indicators have come down,

Yesterday I told him he could be discharged, but he wanted to stay a few more days; in fact, there's no need for him to stay at all."

As it turns out, Dean Yang had already let Shi Yong be discharged yesterday.

This Shi Yong didn't even tell me and still wanted to stay a few more days. Unbelievable.

"By the way, after Shi Yong is discharged, he must take his medicine on time and absolutely cannot drink alcohol again."

"Jianqiang, you need to arrange for Shi Yong to die, otherwise his condition will easily relapse."

"You handle his discharge procedures tomorrow,"

"and prescribe him some more medicine." Dean Yang said over the phone.

I quickly said, "Thank you, Dean Yang; I've noted everything you said. I'll handle Shi Yong's discharge procedures tomorrow and will not let him drink alcohol again."

"Make sure he takes his medicine on time."

"All right, Jianqiang, I have other things to attend to; let's talk again when we have time." Dean Yang said and then hung up.

Shi Yong asked, "What did Dean Yang say?"

"He agreed to your discharge; I'll handle the procedures tomorrow. But after discharge, you absolutely cannot drink alcohol; you must take your medicine on time, otherwise the condition will relapse."

"Sigh, really being discharged. Then let's go. I've never lived properly before; from today on I will live well and cherish the present life." Shi Yong sighed.

Even this Shi Yong can sigh.

I said, "Shi Yong, tonight, are you coming with me or staying in the hospital?"

"You're not even going to tell Ya Ling?"

Shi Yong said, "I'll stay here for one night, Ya Ling; I'll tell her after I'm discharged tomorrow. She's busy building a new gym right now."

"That's great; it looks like Ya Ling's business has expanded again,"

"I can't understand; logically, since you're being discharged tomorrow, you should come with me today. Why do you want to stay here for a night?" I asked, puzzled.
