Chapter 528: 524. Let's Just Acquire a Hospital (Please subscribe, monthly tickets)

Zhang Ran left the hospital with an expressionless face, completely ignoring the exclamations and sounds of emergency resuscitation coming from behind him.

He Yong had remained silent the entire time, but this time he took it upon himself to drive the car to the entrance of a barbecue restaurant.

Zhang Ran didn't speak either; he walked inside, ordered some barbecue, and then began to drink by himself.

This drinking session lasted for nearly two hours. Zhang Ran looked at the empty bottles beside him, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go home."

After arriving home, Zhang Ran fell straight into bed and didn't wake up until the next morning.

"Dad, have some porridge," Liu Lu said as she brought over a bowl of porridge.

She had started simmering the porridge the previous night and had been keeping it ready for Zhang Ran, but Zhang Ran had been sleeping too soundly yesterday and hadn't eaten anything at all.

After wiping his face, Zhang Ran sat down and asked, "Where are Sicheng and the others? Have they all gone to work?"

"Yes, they just left, saying there were some matters at the company," Liu Lu said.

Observing Zhang Ran at the same time and finding no issues—he was still the same as before—Liu Lu finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Lu still asked hesitantly, "Dad, do you think I should still work?"

Liu Lu actually didn't want to ask at this time, but ever since Zhang Ran's status as the richest man had been confirmed, her mother had been calling almost every day.

Pei Mingmei was also 'offering advice' from her side, saying things that Liu Lu didn't quite understand but which seemed to make a lot of sense.

Pei Mingmei knew that the only person their family could rely on was Liu Lu; once something happened to Liu Lu, their family would have absolutely no connection to Zhang Ran anymore. Therefore, Liu Lu's affairs were now her, Pei Mingmei's, affairs, and she was even more concerned about them than Liu Lu herself.

Zhang Ran asked in surprise, "Why do you ask that? If you don't want to work, then resign. Our family isn't short on money anyway; work should be according to your own wishes. Or is it that you've encountered some difficulties at work?

How about I acquire a hospital for you to run yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lu immediately showed a look of helplessness. What was her father-in-law thinking? Why would he want to acquire a hospital?

"No, I'm just worried about whether this will cause an impact on the family," Liu Lu said.

This was also the line of thinking that Pei Mingmei had instilled in her through her mother, and generally speaking, it wasn't actually wrong.

Liu Lu was now the daughter-in-law of the richest man, yet she was still working as a nurse in a hospital. If this got out, it would certainly invite some criticism.

Among it, there would 100% be rumors that the Zhang Family didn't treat Liu Lu well.

And by then, there would surely be many women with various intentions appearing around Zhang Sicheng.

These were all foreseeable, and they were also things Liu Lu needed to prevent.

Moreover, Zhang Ran's identity was not entirely confidential within the hospital; at the very least, the hospital director and her good friend Wang Jiajia knew about it.

Such a situation certainly couldn't be kept hidden forever, so Liu Lu was also a bit worried.

Hearing Liu Lu say these things, Zhang Ran pondered for a moment and said, "How about this: you resign first. Take some time to look around, and I will acquire a hospital for you to be the director yourself."

Actually, Zhang Ran knew that Liu Lu didn't have that much ambition for a career, but now that the Zhang Family was different from before, Liu Lu didn't want to become a burden to the Zhang Family, just living by relying on them.

That was why she wanted to work.

Zhang Ran knew all of this, which was the reason he hadn't stopped her all along. Since Liu Lu couldn't continue working at the hospital now, he would acquire a hospital for her.

Liu Lu hadn't expected that Zhang Ran was being serious, so she quickly waved her hands and said, "Dad, I'm just a small nurse; I can't do it."

Zhang Ran said with a smile, "It's not a specialized hospital; those things should be left to the professionals. We'll acquire a plastic surgery hospital when the time comes. Isn't this industry quite good right now? It also happens to be a match for your profession."

Liu Lu still wanted to say something, but then she heard Zhang Ran say in an unquestionable tone, "Alright, that's it. The hospital will be put directly under your name. But don't take it too seriously; it's just a hospital. If you can run it, do so; if you can't, then forget it."

"Thank you," Liu Lu said after a long silence.

Of course, she understood her father-in-law's good intentions.

"We're family, don't talk like strangers," Zhang Ran laughed.

In the afternoon, Liu Lu went to the hospital and submitted her resignation letter, which was approved immediately without any hesitation from the higher-ups.

In fact, the director also knew that it was impossible for Liu Lu, the daughter-in-law of the richest man, to really work in their hospital forever, and keeping her here was like having a great deity on the premises.

Sometimes, when the director was on rounds and discovered that Liu Lu was being scolded or even berated by patients, the director would be terrified.

It was better that she was leaving now; at the very least, there was no need to be so anxious anymore. Although this also meant losing an opportunity to build a good relationship with the richest man, the director didn't care too much about that.

"Jiajia, Sister Wang, Kong Jie..." Liu Lu greeted them one by one.

"What's wrong? Is there something up again? Go ahead, I'll cover your shift when the time comes," Kong Jie said nonchalantly.

Liu Lu hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's not that, Kong Jie. I've resigned, and I want to treat you all to a meal tonight."

At this, the group of nurses was stunned. Resigned?

Sun Lin quickly asked with concern, "Lulu, what's wrong? Did something happen at home?"

Sun Lin hadn't thought much of Liu Lu in the past; the two were small rivals in the same office.

However, ever since Liu Lu bought a house, and plus the fact that Liu Lu often shared good things with everyone, Sun Lin had slowly given up on trying to compete—she couldn't compare.

The relationship between the two had slowly mended; there hadn't been any major conflict to begin with.

Moreover, Sun Lin had also received quite a few good things from Liu Lu, many of which she couldn't bear to buy herself, so she was also very concerned about Liu Lu.

Wang Jiajia, however, had guessed something.

Liu Lu shook her head and said, "No, I just don't want to work anymore."

"Then have you found a new job?" Kong Jie asked.

Liu Lu hesitated again; she didn't know how to say it. "I suppose it's found?"

Her answer was a bit uncertain; after all, her father-in-law told her to go buy a hospital herself—that should count as a new job, right?

"What do you mean 'suppose'? Xiao Lu, let me tell you, it's really hard to find a job right now. If you haven't found one, just keep working for now; it's not like you have anything else to do," Kong Jie said with concern.

"Kong Jie, what are you thinking? How could Liu Lu be short on money now?" someone reminded her.

Kong Jie also came to her senses. Indeed, Liu Lu shouldn't be short on money now; after all, many of the gifts she gave them were quite valuable.

"Let's all have a meal together tonight. My treat, everyone must come," Liu Lu said with a smile, though there was some reluctance in her smile.

Ever since she started working, she had been with these sisters, working together through thick and thin for ten years. Now that she was leaving, she really felt a bit reluctant.
