Chapter 414 - 415: Awesome! Dr. Jiang does the work, I pay the money!
CHAPTER 414: CHAPTER 415: AWESOME! DR. JIANG DOES THE WORK, I PAY THE MONEY!
Jiang Bin, having come up with this plan, called for Jiang Chaoge.
Jiang Chaoge pushed open the door and entered. "Uncle."
Jiang Bin dismissed his attendants. After signaling her to sit, his attitude was exceptionally gentle. "Chaoge, I heard you hosted Jack from WK Corporation quite well. Young people always hit it off."
Jiang Chaoge smiled. "I studied abroad, so I get along well with Jack."
Jiang Bin’s gaze settled on her face, pausing briefly before he asked, "Has he shown any willingness to cooperate?"
Jiang Chaoge hesitated slightly. "It seems WK Corporation is also inclined to partner with Yunxi Hospital."
"As expected," Jiang Bin said mildly. "It’s not your fault. Considering WK Corporation built the equipment for Gu Anxi to produce Jing, further collaboration is only logical."
Jiang Chaoge pursed her lips. "Uncle, I will do my best."
Jiang Bin spoke gently, "Of course, I believe in your ability, but extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Although the time isn’t quite right, signing a letter of intent with WK Corporation early would provide double insurance. Chaoge, I know you’re unwilling to be defeated by Gu Anxi. I feel the same way."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chaoge lowered her gaze. "Uncle?"
Jiang Bin got up and patted her shoulder. "I know you like Xichen, but you’ve seen the situation... One can go without love, but not without a career. Isn’t that right, Chaoge?"
Jiang Chaoge spoke softly, "Uncle, you want me to..."
Jiang Bin said kindly, "Chaoge, you’re not a child anymore, and you’ve never been in a relationship, have you!"
Just as Jiang Chaoge was about to speak, Jiang Bin interrupted her. "This Jack is said to be quite handsome, and a young master from a prestigious family. Dating him wouldn’t really be a big deal."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Chaoge was momentarily stunned.
She understood her uncle’s intentions.
Her lips tightened; she remained silent.
Jiang Bin chuckled lightly. "Chaoge, I know you have grand ambitions for your career, so I intended to reserve the position of Director of Jiang’s Hospital for you."
Her heart stirred, and she looked up at Jiang Bin.
Jiang Bin patted her shoulder affectionately. "I know you’re a smart girl; you’ll know how to choose."
Jiang Chaoge felt a heaviness on her shoulder as her gaze met Jiang Bin’s—
She found herself unable to refuse.
Jiang Bin added, "I know you won’t disappoint me, will you?"
「...」
Jiang Chaoge arranged to have dinner with Jack.
「A French restaurant.」
The ambiance was excellent. The handsome heir of WK Corporation, cradling a glass of red wine, gazed at the female doctor with tender affection.
The female doctor was stunning that night. She had let down her long, curly hair and wore a black, delicate slip dress that showcased her captivating, slender shoulders.
Jack was a seasoned player in matters of love. He knew exactly what it meant for a business partner to dress like this for a French dinner with him; the situation was ripe for the picking.
「Late at night, Jack emerged from the bathroom, wearing only a bathrobe, his eye-catching physique on display.」
He saw that the beautiful female doctor was already fully dressed. He chuckled and poured himself a glass of red wine.
Jiang Chaoge approached him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I’m leaving."
Jack smiled lazily, not objecting.
Jiang Chaoge hesitated for a moment. "Shall I come again tomorrow night?"
Jack suddenly said, "I have a fiancée."
This sudden statement left Dr. Jiang quite flustered. After a long moment, she managed a forced smile. "We’re all adults, Jack."
Jack, smiling, finished half his glass of red wine, then enthusiastically pulled Jiang Chaoge close for some... indescribable activities.
When he let go, a faint blush rose to Jiang Chaoge’s cheeks, making her look quite lovely. Jack murmured a few sweet nothings before letting her go.
Englishmen, quite romantic, and very good at separating the heart from the body.
After Jiang Chaoge left, Jack remained, savoring the wine as if relishing the exquisite and wonderful encounter.
Suddenly, he noticed a familiar reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window, startling him so much he nearly spilled his wine. He swallowed hard. "AN?"
In the luxurious presidential suite, Gu Anxi sat, a grin playing on her lips as she dangled a small black item. "You had quite a wild time!"
The noble young master’s face flushed. "AN, are you even a woman?"
"Of course," Gu Anxi replied, not in the least angered, her grin unwavering.
After a moment, she said, "Oh, I arrived a little while ago but didn’t want to disturb you, so I kept quiet. I even kindly took a few photos for you. Care to see?"
Jack, whose fair complexion, white teeth, and red lips gave him the classic looks of a ’pretty boy,’ blushed furiously at her words. "AN!"
Gu Anxi casually scrolled through her phone, murmuring to herself, "Ah, I wonder what kind of impact these photos would have if they were circulated in England. I hear your family has several capable rivals. Jack, does your father know you’re having such a wild time abroad?"
Jack coughed, staring at her for a long moment.
Gu Anxi chuckled. "Men, a bit of philandering is nothing. But if you carelessly gamble away your empire, that becomes a tragic story, doesn’t it?"
Jack had known her for a long time; their last cooperation was one she had strong-armed him into. This time, with a beauty on the scene, he hadn’t actually decided to partner with the beauty, but rather wanted to give AN a taste of her own medicine by playing hard to get.
But he never imagined... AN had been there the whole time.
What a perverse sense of humor!
"The female doctor is quite enthusiastic!" Gu Anxi remarked, walking over to pat Jack’s rather wan face.
Jack managed to utter, "AN, what are you trying to do?"
"Nothing much!" Gu Anxi said, confidently producing a document. "Sign this, and I’ll keep this matter confidential for you."
Jack was about to explode with rage.
Gu Anxi dangled the small black item in front of him. "The scent is still fresh, and the photos are piping hot. If the British public wakes up to see pictures of the WK Group’s young master like this, their spirits should be high all day." As she spoke, she even peeked at him. "Aiya! Quite the physique!"
After several rounds of her coercion, Jack had no fight left in him. He picked up the pen to sign.
Before that, however, he paused, tilting his head. "You at least have to leave me some dignity."
"Of course. I won’t reveal anything before you make an announcement. As for how you explain things to the beauty, that’s not something I can help with," Gu Anxi said with a shrug.
Jack shot her another glance, then lowered his head and quickly scrawled his name.
"And the seal," Gu Anxi prompted, offering an ink pad.
Jack, though exasperated, retrieved his seal and stamped the document.
With the document secured, Gu Anxi blew on the fresh ink. "Jack, our collaborations have always been excellent. I just adore that pretty face of yours."
She patted Jack’s cheek. "Alright, come on, let’s have some red wine to celebrate. Don’t look so glum, as if someone took advantage of you. Your performance earlier wasn’t like this at all."
