Chapter 131: Pei Nanli: Wang Chuan, What Are You Doing?

~9 min read 1,607 words

Outside the hospital building, Wang Chuan glanced at Lou Yihan's text message.

"President Wang, that Xiao Rongyue has been calling and texting her every day recently. I replied the first time, saying I have a boyfriend. She reads novels all day, her library is vast, 🆃🆃🅺🅢. 🆃🆆 read whatever you want"

"Tonight, Xiao Rongyue drove to the university gate and wants to ask me to leave the school."

The second message read: "What should I do? Will this affect President Wang's business dealings with the Xiao Family?"

Wang Chuan replied directly, "It doesn't matter. I'll handle it. You just stay at school."

He remembered the look in Xiao Rongyue's eyes when he first saw Lou Yihan get into the car at the entrance of Nanshan Blue Fire Bar; he had vaguely sensed it back then, and sure enough, it happened.

Lou Yihan never encountered this in her previous life, so she didn't know the ending.

As for Xiao Rongyue, Wang Chuan knew him; the woman he married later was from Baodao, a province facing Min Province across a narrow strait.

Before Wang Chuan's father-in-law, Xiao Zanyan, fell ill, Xiao Rongyue and Xiao Yuchu had a fairly good relationship.

Once Xiao Zanyan fell ill and retired from public life, Xiao Rongyue and the grown-up Xiao Yuchu had been at each other's throats for years, fighting over control of Xiao's Group.

With Wang Chuan's various compliant and non-compliant helps, Xiao Yuchu obtained control of Xiao's Group.

After his defeat, Xiao Rongyue returned to Baodao with his wife.

Since his rebirth, the influence he had on others' destinies had become increasingly clear; besides Xiao Rongyue falling for Lou Yihan, there was also Xue Yuan.

In her previous life, Xue Yuan should have died today from postpartum hemorrhage; Chen Ran and her brother Chen Chen were raised by their aunt Chen Qing.

Chen Qing clearly didn't know how to do business; the Qingyuan Teahouse probably went bankrupt very quickly in her previous life.

Otherwise, after doing business for twenty-one years, she should have been able to afford the down payment on a house.

Why did his ex-wife Xiao Yuchu introduce Chen Ran to him for a blind date? She wouldn't introduce random people; did Chen Ran perhaps have some family relation to her?

Having made up his mind, he dialed the number: "Xiao Rongyue, where are you tonight?"

At the gate of Mingzhou University, inside the car, Xiao Rongyue was waiting for a call, but when he saw it was Wang Chuan, he was startled.

"I'm with my uncle Qi Bin in Jiangcheng; aren't we discussing cooperation with your friend?"

Wang Chuan chuckled lightly: "In Jiangcheng? Then have you come to the Seafood Restaurant opposite Mingzhou First Hospital right now to treat me to dinner; you should make it in time, right?"

Hearing this request, Xiao Rongyue knew it was impossible to make it in time; what did Wang Chuan mean?

Wang Chuan's voice came through the mobile phone again: "If this cooperation succeeds, Xiao Rongyue, since you introduced me, your father will surely praise you. I have many skills and need to find an apprentice to pass them down."

Wang Chuan had already decided that if Xiao Rongyue followed him from now on and was influenced by him, even if he married that wife from Baodao, he would never become a rival to Xiao Yuchu in the future.

This would also spare them from sibling rivalry, facing each other in court openly, and having hidden undercurrents in the underworld behind the scenes; it would save them all from losing face.

Suddenly, Wang Chuan's voice changed, his tone turning icy: "Young Master Xiao, I warn you, do not try to dig under the wall or steal someone's woman! When you arrive at the Seafood Restaurant, call me."

Xiao Rongyue's heart sank; Lou Yihan must have told Wang Chuan. Was Lou Yihan's boyfriend Wang Chuan? If so, things were not good, as he still needed to learn from him and owed him many favors.

After thinking for a while, he sent a text message to Wang Chuan: "Received, Brother Chuan. I'm starting the engine and will be there immediately!"

Wang Chuan instantly replied with a text message: "Is Chen Qing, the boss of Qingyuan Teahouse, and Xue Yuan, your family relatives?"

Xiao Rongyue thought, did this Wang Chuan just open a bar and now wants to open a teahouse too?

Qingyuan Teahouse, the name Chen Qing sounded very familiar; he remembered it and quickly replied via text: "Chen Qing is my aunt Chen Lan's cousin."

'So there really is a bit of a family relation!' Wang Chuan closed his mobile phone, went to the toilet, and then returned to the Obstetrics Department ward.

"Wang Chuan, was the toilet that long? Auntie Xue was just pushed back to the ward," Pei Nanli said.

"Let's go listen to the post-operative medical advice!" Wang Chuan walked forward.

In the Doctor's Office, Director Zhai Lin was sitting at the desk, facing the computer screen and typing on the keyboard rapidly.

Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head, her gaze lingering on Wang Chuan for a moment; that look held unmasked admiration.

"You two," Zhai Lin spoke, her voice hoarse from the surgery, "you performed well today, especially Wang Chuan."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Pei Nanli, "Pei Nanli's assistance was also very adequate. However, our Obstetrics Department isn't as high-frequency as the Emergency Department where you have to rush out at a single phone call. The pace is different, but the string that must be kept taut cannot loosen for a single moment."

She gestured for the two to sit down, her gaze returning to the computer screen: "Xue Yuan's condition is now stable, but the nursing and observation after postpartum hemorrhage are of utmost importance; there can be no slip-ups."

"Doctor Dai, I'll add a few points of medical advice. You take them and execute them; simple operations, let them get their hands on it to familiarize themselves."

Doctor Dai nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Director Zhai."

Zhai Lin's fingertips tapped on the keyboard as she dictated the key medical advice at a steady pace, every single point carrying an unquestionable professional weight:

"1. Special Grade Nursing..... 9. Pain Relief...... 10. Psychological Nursing."

For every medical advice, Zhai Lin explained clearly and thoroughly, not only telling them what to do but emphasizing why to do it and the key points of observation.

Wang Chuan listened with extreme focus.

Pei Nanli recorded quickly in her notebook; her cool profile looked exceptionally serious under the light.

"Alright, Doctor Dai, take them to execute it. Wang Chuan, Pei Nanli, tonight you are mainly responsible for organizing the medical records of Xue Yuan and the other post-operative patients, and checking the medical advice clearly. You can rotate for rest if tired, but you must be on duty."

After Zhai Lin finished speaking, she wearily rubbed the center of her forehead.

Doctor Dai immediately led Wang Chuan and Pei Nanli out of the Doctor's Office.

Inside the single ward, Xue Yuan was not asleep but in a state of extreme weakness yet abnormally alert.

The fatigue after massive blood loss wrapped around her like a tide; her eyes were open, her gaze carrying the daze of having survived a disaster as she looked around.

Two tiny figures in the incubator, and her husband Chen Qing, who was guarding her bedside tightly with red-rimmed eyes.

"Xue Yuan, how do you feel? Does the wound hurt terribly?" Doctor Dai walked to the bedside, her voice very soft.

Xue Yuan moved her head slightly, her voice weak but clear: "It's... okay... just a bit tired... the children... are the children okay?" Her gaze turned eagerly toward the incubator.

"The children are fine! The older sister is five jin and two liang, the younger brother is exactly five jin; both are very healthy with high scores. They will be observed in the incubator for a while and can be brought over for you to see very soon."

After patiently comforting her, Doctor Dai led Wang Chuan and Pei Nanli to conduct the first detailed post-operative assessment and record vital signs.

After finishing, on the Obstetrics corridor, Doctor Dai said: "The Canteen only has leftovers now; you two hurry out to eat a meal, I'll give you one hour."

Pei Nanli asked: "Doctor Dai, aren't you going to eat with us?"

"I'm not going. Today is Thursday, I'm rewarding myself with a bowl of unified Red Braised Beef Instant Noodles."

Wang Chuan was surprised: "Doctor Dai, one bowl of instant noodles isn't enough, right? You just performed several surgeries and consumed a lot of energy."

"No need, you two go ahead," Doctor Dai refused.

Wang Chuan and Pei Nanli walked out of the Obstetrics Department; beep-beep, a text message arrived. He glanced at it: 'Brother Chuan, I've ordered the dishes!'

"Pei Nanli, I'm at the Seafood Restaurant across the street and have already ordered. Let's go together. I even ordered the shrimp you like best."

Pei Nanli looked at him with deep suspicion. "Wang Chuan, what are you up to?"

"What's with that look? It's like you're staring at a pervert," Wang Chuan feigned dissatisfaction.

He had already planned it out: once Pei Nanli finished her meal, he could make his request, asking her to speak with Ning Hui and persuade him to intervene, convincing Xue Yuan to come forward as a witness.

'Eat someone's food, and your mouth becomes short; take someone's gift, and your hands become short!'

Wang Chuan continued, "Let's go. The Boss of our new company's first client is treating us Shareholders to a meal!"
