CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 50 MAINLY ORTHOPEDICS

The foot got sprained, not only was wearing high heels impossible, but going to work also became an issue.

After arriving at the company, Wei Xueqing strongly refused Yang Chen’s assistance; she didn’t want rumors to spread throughout Qiming Mansion the next day.

Nie Xiaoying was startled when she saw Wei Xueqing limping in and quickly rushed to support her, worriedly asking, "President Wei, what’s wrong with you?"

"It’s nothing." Wei Xueqing waved her hand, indicating that Nie Xiaoying didn’t need to help her. She was a rather strong girl and didn’t like troubling others, "I accidentally sprained my foot while climbing a mountain yesterday, it’s no big deal."

"Oh!" Nie Xiaoying let go of Wei Xueqing and looked at Yang Chen with a strange expression.

Today, Yang Chen had come to work with Wei Xueqing again.

As the saying goes, the first time is a coincidence, the second time is definitely intentional.

Yang Chen and Wei Xueqing went to work together every morning and left together every evening, and now Wei Xueqing’s walking posture was so odd...

Girls these days weren’t as naive and clueless as before, and instantly thought of some blush-inducing scenes.

Yang Chen, however, was quite puzzled as to why Nie Xiaoying was blushing while looking at him.

Could it be that this little girl had a crush on him?

Yang Chen shook his head, not paying much attention.

When he was abroad, he could openly hit on girls at bars, but in his home country, he felt he must be more restrained; after all, the feeling was different.

The nearer you are to home, the more timid you become. Some can be unbeatable forces outside, yet always beam with smiles when facing their hometown folks.

This emotion somewhat resembled what Yang Chen felt now.

Upon entering the office, Wei Xueqing had just sat down when she called out, "Zhou Lan, bring me all the data on our company’s catering industry, and the statistics reports from recent years, I want all of it!"

"Okay!" Zhou Lan was an amusing secretary and immediately started handling the request upon hearing Wei Xueqing’s orders.

...

The Zhang family estate.

In Elder Zhang’s study, Zhang Qishan and Zhang Shaoting stood respectfully to the side.

Elder Zhang sat in the armchair, lost in thought.

After a long time, he said to Zhang Qishan, "Are you saying this Yang Chen is..."

He glanced at Zhang Shaoting, feeling that some things were not yet the right time for Shaoting to know.

"Yang Chen is an extremely formidable figure; is Old Third’s information confirmed?" Elder Zhang asked.

Zhang Qishan replied in a deep voice, "Old Third says, even if there’s a one in ten thousand chance, it’s a risk our Zhang family cannot afford to take."

"Hiss!" Elder Zhang inhaled sharply.

Elder Zhang knew best what his son was like, Zhang Qicheng had always been fearless, yet now he was so afraid of one person, this person must indeed be extraordinary.

Zhang Qishan continued, "The incidents that happened recently on the Lijia Continent, Old Third said they were all orchestrated by Yang Chen, though there he wasn’t called Yang Chen, but Hell Asura."

"Hell Asura!" Elder Zhang was startled; his expression changed drastically, for he had heard of this name, it was practically the equivalent of a War God, absolutely a symbol of the Death God, a King Yama level figure.

Any assignment he took on, even King Yama couldn’t save the target!

After a long pause, Elder Zhang said, "Did he say he is willing to treat me?"

"Yes!" Zhang Qishan nodded.

"Then let’s go!" Elder Zhang took a deep breath and said.

Zhang Qishan nodded, signaling Zhang Shaoting to help the old man, and he went out to make arrangements.

Once outside the study, Zhang Qishan arranged the vehicles and called Wei Qingzhong.

"Old Wei, we’re ready, setting off now."

Wei Qingzhong replied, "Okay, I’m on my way too."

They had discussed this matter yesterday, agreeing that Elder Zhang would receive treatment at their company.

For Elder Zhang, Wei Qingzhong was also very respectful, so he readily agreed to Zhang Qishan’s request.

...

Soon, Wei Qingzhong arrived at the company, heading straight to the president’s office.

"Dad, why are you here?" Wei Xueqing quickly stood up in surprise when she saw Wei Qingzhong.

Since coming back, Wei Qingzhong had fully entrusted everything to Wei Xueqing, completely hands-off, never disturbing her work nor frequently questioning her decisions.

These past two days, though, Wei Qingzhong had come quite often.

Wei Qingzhong waved his hand at Wei Xueqing, "Don’t mind me, continue with your work, I’m looking for Xiaoyang."

"I..." Wei Xueqing felt like her position was about to be usurped by Yang Chen.

Why was everyone’s attention on Yang Chen?

Ye Xin was like this, Wei Qingzhong was like this, and so was the Zhang family!

Feeling discontent, Wei Xueqing pouted and sat back down, losing her focus on work, she gazed toward the screen.

"Chairman!" Yang Chen stood up, body straight, as if seeing an officer, his gaze direct.

Wei Qingzhong glanced at the computer screen and was surprised to see the interface entirely in Federation Language.

It seemed, Yang Chen’s educational level wasn’t low either.

"Zhang Qishan will be here soon with Elder Zhang, come upstairs with me." Wei Qingzhong said.

Yang Chen slightly frowned, looking towards Wei Xueqing’s spot.

Wei Qingzhong understood Yang Chen’s concern and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, it’s just for a short while, nothing dangerous."

Yang Chen shook his head, "As long as it’s about treating illness, it won’t be simple, it might take a long time, she should come with me."

Wei Qingzhong nodded, appreciating Yang Chen’s sense of responsibility.

Turning around, Wei Qingzhong looked at Wei Xueqing.

"I’m not going! I’m busy!" Wei Xueqing rejected immediately, sounding annoyed.

She had heard everything clearly just now, after all, she was the president! Why should she follow arrangements made by a bodyguard?

Seeing Wei Xueqing throwing a little tantrum, Wei Qingzhong chuckled, "In a bit, your Grandpa Zhang and Uncle Zhang will be here, and you can discuss cooperation matters with them, don’t you have a project to talk about with them?"

"I..." Wei Xueqing internally rejected the idea, but knew she couldn’t act petulantly when it came to work-related matters.

Reluctantly, Wei Xueqing tidied up her stuff, preparing to go upstairs with them.

"Zhou Lan, tidy up the documents and bring them to me later." Before heading out the door, Wei Xueqing instructed Zhou Lan.

"Understood, President Wei!" Zhou Lan nodded.

Chairman’s office.

Wei Xueqing curiously looked at Yang Chen, who was sitting in the chair with his eyes closed, and asked, "Can you really treat illnesses?"

Yang Chen glanced at her, then continued resting his eyes, "I was a battlefield doctor before."

"Surgery or internal medicine?" Wei Xueqing inquired.

Yang Chen glanced at Wei Xueqing’s snow-white ankle and said, "Mainly orthopedics!"

Instantly, Wei Xueqing recalled Yang Chen forcibly massaging her yesterday, causing a blush to spread across her cheeks, and she turned her head to look out the window.

...

Downstairs at Qiming Mansion.

No one knew where the news came from, but hearing Elder Zhang was coming, the whole building was in an uproar.

The head of property management and CEOs of various companies within Qiming Mansion all rushed downstairs to welcome him, each with a smiling face and gifts, eagerly pushing forward, afraid Elder Zhang wouldn’t see them.

As soon as Elder Zhang got out of the car, he frowned upon witnessing this scene.

Seeing this, Zhang Qishan gestured to a car behind him, and four burly men in black suits promptly disembarked, positioning themselves in front of Elder Zhang to clear a path.
