Dr. Gan

Chen Xiao: "I'm so..."

I knew this woman wouldn't give up without causing some trouble!

Seeing Wang Li and Chen Jianguo's inquiring gazes, Chen Xiao said, "Hello, I am Bing Xin's friend..."

The beautiful Dr. Gan's gaze shifted over, and she smiled, saying, "I'm Bing Xin's high school classmate. I didn't expect her boyfriend to be quite handsome."

Chen Xiao: "..."

If he denied it now, would the doctor be less diligent because of the distant relationship?

He decided it was better not to deny it hastily. He looked at the name tag on her stretched white coat and said,

"Dr. Gan, my father's leg needs a re-examination. What do you think...?"

"Oh, no problem. Follow me."

Fortunately, Dr. Gan didn't ask too many questions about that.

She personally led Chen Xiao and the others for the re-examination.

It proved that having connections in the Hospital made things easier.

Holding the normal examination results, Chen Xiao finally completely relaxed. Chen Jianguo had recovered well and could be discharged today.

When no one was around,

Chen Xiao took a small, pre-prepared bag from Lin Yanran and said, "Dr. Gan, a small token of my appreciation, it's not much."

Gan Mixue looked down. Inside the small bag were stacks of banknotes, an estimated dozen or so.

"Chen Xiao, Bing Xin and I are best friends. This is too formal."

Chen Xiao was stunned, not expecting their relationship to be so close.

Someone who could be Bing Xin's best friend probably wasn't short on money, but she had helped so much, and it felt wrong not to show some appreciation.

"Oh, my apologies," he handed the bag to Lin Yanran, then smiled and said, "Then let's have a meal together sometime. You have to give me a chance to thank you, right?"

Gan Mixue readily agreed, "Okay, in about a week, bring your uncle to have the cast removed. I'm off next week."

"Alright, it's a deal."

After bidding farewell to Dr. Gan, Chen Xiao completed the discharge procedures for Chen Jianguo, and the family embarked on their journey back to Lan County.

Chen Xiao and Lin Yanran sat in the car in front.

Wang Li accompanied Chen Jianguo in the spacious commercial vehicle, looking bewildered.

"Old Chen, is this still our son?"

Chen Jianguo even had to think for a moment before saying with great certainty, "Yes, that's right."

Wang Li rolled her eyes at him, "Chen Jianguo, what do you mean? Is that what I was asking?"

Chen Jianguo: "..."

"Let's talk about it when we get back. He just returned, covered in dust, and there's no quiet place to talk."

Wang Li sighed, looking around the luxurious commercial vehicle, wondering what she was thinking.

...

Meanwhile, Manager Liu, who had been thrown out of the ward by Lei Yong, limped back to the company located in Lan County.

"Liu Jinping, what happened to you?"

Liu Jinping said with a tearful face, "Second Uncle, you must uphold justice for me."

"I went to the Hospital to persuade Wang Li to sign the compensation agreement, but not only did she refuse to sign, she also found someone to throw me out. My hip still hurts from the fall."

Zhao Dehua, wearing a Big Gold Chain and with a slicked-back hairstyle, his expression darkened.

"What? She dared not to sign? Tell the security team to go to the Hospital and 'comfort' her, to make her understand that the arm cannot twist the thigh."

"Alright!" Liu Jinping immediately became happy, but quickly calmed down again, "Second, Second Uncle, her son is back, and he brought a few people."

"Hmph! I don't care if it's her son or daughter?

In this small area of Lan County, they all have to act like my grandsons!"

Liu Jinping then regained her confidence, "Second Uncle is mighty!"

Zhao Dehua was very pleased with Liu Jinping's flattery. Patting his big belly, he said, "Liu Jinping, come to my office for a moment. There's a project we need to have an in-depth discussion about."

"..." Liu Jinping.

"Second Uncle, how about tomorrow? Little Zhao is coming back tonight..."

"It's fine. I'll make a call and send him to Siberia to open up the market."

Liu Jinping: "..."

...

After more than an hour of travel, the convoy entered the Lan County area.

When the car drove to the edge of the city.

Chen Xiao's past memories surged like a tide.

This small county town almost carried all his beautiful or sad experiences from adolescence.

As soon as he stepped into this small town, there was an endless feeling of emotion and memories.

Friends, brothers, confidantes...

There was a lot of laughter left for him here, but if you talk about regrets, there were truly too many.

Brothers who had once sworn eternal loyalty gradually lost touch after going their separate ways.

But that sincere feeling between them, hidden deep in their hearts, was never forgotten.

After crossing a river bridge, Lan County town was ahead.

On the bridge piers beneath this bridge, there were still traces of Chen Xiao's youthful vows to someone, carved during his middle school years.

Although ravaged by time, wind, and rain, the handwriting was still clear.

The wheels, crushing the cheap vows, sped past, leaving them far behind, out of sight.

Returning once again, Chen Xiao felt a sense of being able to control this small town at will, in addition to the emotion.

Because he searched for Lan County's GDP in 2009, which was last year, and it was...

1.98 billion!

Less than the cash in his own account...

When a person's cash holdings exceed the annual GDP of the city they are in, that feeling is...

Chen Xiao could only describe it as very wonderful.

"Damn, my hometown's GDP isn't that great either..."

Lin Yanran secretly rolled her eyes. It was her first time seeing someone look down on a city's GDP.

The most crucial thing was that he truly had the right to do so...

Chen Xiao had the driver stop at the most upscale Hotel in the county town.

"Yanran, go book a few rooms. Conditions are limited, so let's settle down first."

"Yes, Boss."

Wang Li also got out of the car behind, "Son, why aren't we going home? What are we doing here?"

Chen Xiao's hometown was in a village 30 kilometers from the county town.

"The house isn't tidied up, and conditions are limited. Let's settle down first. I have something to tell you all, and then we'll arrange the next step."

Wang Li looked at the Longquan Hotel, which she considered very high-end, and said, "But we don't need to book such an expensive Hotel."

Actually, it wasn't expensive. A price of 198 per night was negligible for Chen Xiao.

But for Wang Li, it was different.

Four rooms for so many people, the cost for one night was almost equivalent to a month's living expenses sent to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao smiled, "Let's go, Mom. I have important things to tell you."

After getting the keys, Chen Xiao pulled Wang Li, while Lei Yong pushed Chen Jianguo behind them. The group arrived at the room.

Once everything was settled, Chen Xiao said to the others, "You all go back to your rooms to rest."

"Yes, Boss."

After the three left, they closed the room door for Chen Xiao.

Wang Li pointed at the door, full of shock, "He, they called you..."

Chen Xiao pulled up a chair and sat down, preparing to make a formal revelation.

"Mom, that's right. I am their boss."

Chen Jianguo, who knew a little more than Wang Li, calmly said, "Tell us, what have you been up to at school?"
