Zhang Jing thought that he had it all planned out.
He had managed to convince the old doctor to lie to his grandson and secured a VVIP room in the hospital. Then, he sent his grandson away by assigning a few tasks and instructed him to come and pick him up in the afternoon.
However, he forgot that each patient would be warded according to their illness. He initially thought that he was going to stay in a room closer to the girl, but Doctor Xia had told him that it was impossible. Right now, Zhang Jing did not even know where the girl was staying.
"Chairman Zhang, what's wrong?" Doctor Xia glanced at the tray of food on the table. "You don't like the food?"
The question only ignited fury within him. He glanced at the tray of food that contains various types of vegetables and said, "You tell me to eat this. Do you think I'm a cow?"
"You do know that you cannot eat too much meat. You need to control your diet. This vegetarian diet is good for your health. Although there was no meat, it was full of nutrients as well," Doctor Xia said politely. There was a smile on his face, but his back has begun to wet with sweat.
Zhang Jing took a sip at his soup and frowned. It was tasteless!
Fortunately, he only booked to stay at the hospital for a night. Or else, he did not know how he was going to survive to live with food like this. In the end, he can only choose to swallow his food silently and let Doctor Xia off the hook.
A few minutes later, his assistant walked into the room. The old man's lips curved into a smile as he beckoned his assistant to come closer.
"Chairman Zhang, why are you hospitalized?" Assistant Huo asked. "Is the report from the check-up is really bad?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Of course, the report is good. I've been controlling myself with the food I eat for the last few days. Anyway, that brat won't let me eat."
Assistant Huo felt his mouth twitched at the Chairman's words. That brat, of course, he was referring to his grandson, Zhang Yu Han. "Then, Chairman Zhang, why are you here?"
Zhang Jing hesitated for a while before he said, "I decided to stay a night here and treat it as a mini-vacation," he laughed.
To book a VVIP ward and treat it as a mini-vacation… What's so fun about staying at the hospital? The environment and the food were not that good.
Chairman Zhang had left his assistant speechless. He decided not to pay attention to the Chairman's strange behavior. After spending almost twenty years as the Chairman's assistant, he was used to Chairman Zhang's quirkiness.
"That's right," Zhang Jing cleared his throat once and looked at his assistant. "Since you're here, I trust that you have completed the task I sent you earlier?"
"I have," Assistant Huo grabbed a file from his bag and handed the stack of paper to his employer.
Zhang Jing frowned at the thickness of the papers. It was then that he realized that his assistant had managed to get details on a few Li Qin Yao. However, once he saw the picture on the first stack, a smile curved on his lips.
Of course, Assistant Huo would notice the change of expression on the Chairman's face. He knew right away that the first girl on the stack was the person Zhang Jing had asked him to find.
"I checked with the hospital and found that the lady you were looking for was not from Y City," Assistant Huo said.
"Hmm…" Zhang Jing nodded. "You did a great job."
Fortunately, his assistant was smart enough to check with the hospital. If Assistant Huo only looked for Li Qin Yao, who live in Y City, Zhang Jing was sure that he wouldn't find the right girl.
Zhang Jing took the first stack of the paper and handed the rest to his assistant.
"Chairman Zhang, why do you need me to look for this lady's information?" A thought crossed his mind, and Assistant Huo's face turned slightly pale.
The Chairman's wife, the Old Madam Zhang, had passed away for years. Since the Chairman had asked him to look into another woman's information, Assistant Huo started to think that perhaps, Chairman Zhang was looking to get married again. Although he knew that Chairman Zhang was a bit eccentric, it couldn't be that he was interested in young girls, right?
But these girls were so young that they were qualified to be his granddaughters! It couldn't be that Chairman Zhang was planning to rob the cradle, right?
Assistant Huo shivered at the thought.
"What are you thinking?" he noticed the assistant's strange behavior and had a premonition.
Assistant Huo jolted at his employer's sudden question. He immediately shook his head and said, "No. Nothing."
Zhang Jing lifted the photo to his assistant and asked, "Do you think she would look good for Yu Han?"
"Chairman Zhang, you asked me to look into this lady because you're looking for a granddaughter-in-law?"
"Otherwise?" Zhang Jing raised a brow. He looked at his assistant with a warning gaze.
"I thought you were looking to find a new assistant to replace me," Assistant Huo quickly find an excuse and laughed nervously.
Fortunately, he did not say out his thought loudly. Otherwise, the Chairman would probably instruct him not to show up to work tomorrow. He might really be replaced!
Zhang Jing decided to ignore his assistant and continue to browse through the documents. His eyes stopped as he reached the middle of the page.
QL Property Group? So this girl was the granddaughter of that old man, Li Ren Xin?
To like a missus of the Li family from the Capital City… It seemed like his grandson's taste was not that ordinary.
…
After spending her hours catching up with her sleep, Li Qin Yao finally woke up with a refreshed look on her face. The first thing she did was to call the nurse to check on her condition. Although the nurse thought that her condition was good enough, she still could not be discharged until the doctor who was in charge of her would inspect her condition the next morning.
Li Qin Yao patted her hungry stomach.
The last meal she had was a bowl of porridge that Zhang Yu Han had bought for her. After a long sleep, her stomach started to rumble again.
Because Han Yue Xiu was busy with her work, she could not come and buy her food. In the end, with the nurse's permission, Li Qin Yao decided to head downstairs and find a place to eat.
As soon as she arrived at the small cafe, Li Qin Yao noticed a familiar man. Before she could react, the older man had seen her. In the end, Li Qin Yao had no other choice, but to came forward and greeted him. "Grandfather, what are you doing here?"
