Yu'an County.
A small county town shrouded in the deep darkness of night.
The operating room on the fifth floor of the county hospital.
Doctors kept going in and out, and nurses kept coming in and out; the operating room door opened and closed again.
Outside the operating room, Li Jiahong and her husband Zhou Jianping waited anxiously, along with two caregivers, two tall men in suits and ties, who stood guard like bodyguards.
Not far away, a slightly shorter man, also dressed in a suit but clearly different from the two men, was making a phone call.
He kept an eye on this side while making the call, reporting the situation to the person on the other end of the line.
"Okay, got it."
"I know."
"do not worry."
I don't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but the man held the phone and responded with utmost respect.
Not long after, the man hung up the phone.
He strode over, gave instructions to the two bodyguards and the two caregivers, and then came to Li Jiahong and Zhou Jianping. He said politely, "I'll be leaving for a while. I've already given instructions here. If you need anything or have any questions, just let them know and they'll take care of it. Or you can call me."
The "they" here naturally refer to the caregivers and bodyguards.
Li Jiahong and Zhou Jianping nodded immediately, and Li Jiahong quickly said, "Go ahead and get busy. I'm so sorry to have troubled you tonight. It's so kind of you to bring so many people here so late and keep working without resting. I'm really sorry to have kept you up all night."
"No, no, this is my job. I'm just following orders. Please don't be so polite. At this time, the old lady's health is the most important thing. Everything else is secondary."
Hearing the man's words, Li Jiahong was deeply moved: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. You go ahead and do your work. If there are any problems, I'll talk to them or call you."
"Ok."
Without saying another word, the man quickly left.
Watching the man walk away, Li Jiahong said with immense gratitude, "There are still many good people in this world."
Hearing her words, Zhou Jianping watched the man disappear at the end of the corridor, then looked away and asked in confusion, "You said before that Zhou Yi works at which store?"
Zhou Jianping was an honest man who didn't talk much. Li Jiahong was in charge of the household, and he didn't manage things much; he just worked to earn money.
But just because someone is honest doesn't mean they're brainless.
I called Zhou Yi tonight, and after her boss answered the phone, the best doctor in the county and the hospital director came over very quickly. Shortly after, the most authoritative doctor from the city came, and then the most authoritative doctor from the best hospital in the province came.
Suddenly, it seemed that all the best doctors in Shancheng had come to their small local hospital and gathered here to treat an ordinary old man.
They're all middle-aged people, and they understand the harsh reality: without connections, it's impossible to get so many good doctors all at once.
These doctors were all called by Zhou Yi's boss, who is very powerful.
But Zhou Jianping remembered that Zhou Yi only worked in a shop, and the shop didn't seem very big. Their boss couldn't possibly be that powerful, could he?
So powerful that they can mobilize the best doctors in the entire province?
Upon hearing Zhou Jianping's words, Li Jiahong replied, "A mother and baby store."
"Zhou Yi is the manager of a maternity and baby store. Her boss values her highly and has been grooming her for success. What's wrong?"
Zhou Jianping moved his mouth slightly, then shook his head: "It's nothing, I just think that boss Zhou Yi is very capable, able to get so many good doctors to come at once."
Li Jiahong immediately said, "That's for sure! Do you know how high Zhou Yi's salary is? More than ten thousand a month!"
"She only has a high school diploma, and she's already a store manager earning over ten thousand yuan after just a few years of work. Do you think this boss is stupid?"
"The boss must know how good Zhou Yi is to be willing to make such a sacrifice, and someone who can be a boss must have very strong connections. I heard Zhou Yi say before that their store's monthly turnover is over a million!"
“Millions of dollars, just in one month. What does that mean? We can’t earn that much money in a lifetime.”
Hearing Li Jiahong say this, Zhou Jianping gradually nodded: "Yes, that's true."
"People from small towns can't compare to people from big cities. People from big cities are really capable."
"That is!"
“Otherwise, how would Zhou Yi earn money to support her and her aunt, and also pay for her aunt’s medicine?”
As she spoke, Li Jiahong felt sorry for the child: "This child is really something. He dropped out of school at such a young age to work, all alone out there, without parents. It's already quite an achievement that he's managed to do this well."
Zhou Jianping frowned: "By the way, Fifth Sister-in-law hasn't left yet, has she?"
The fifth sister-in-law Zhou Jianping mentioned was none other than Zhou Yi's stepmother, Sun Huilan, the woman Zhou Jianye had an extramarital affair with.
Upon hearing Zhou Jianping's words, Li Jiahong immediately looked displeased: "I don't know!"
"I called her but her phone was off. I don't know if she's still in Shancheng or if she's left."
As she spoke, Li Jiahong became angry: "If I hadn't happened to be doing chores today and noticed that my aunt's complexion was off, she probably would have fainted and no one would have known."
Zhou Jianping's expression was also not good. He was silent for a while, then said, "Let's wait for Zhou Yi to come back."
"Definitely!"
“Zhou Yi will definitely ask about the situation when he comes back, and I won’t hide it from him; I’ll tell him the truth.”
“My aunt was always in good health. Although she had some health problems, she took her medicine every day and had regular check-ups, so she was perfectly fine. But a while ago, she got sick after receiving a phone call from Jianye.”
“If my aunt hadn’t told me not to call Zhou Yi, I would have told her already.”
"She was getting better just like that, but then Sun Huilan suddenly came back today with her rich young lady and young master. As soon as they left, Auntie fell ill."
"They must have made him angry!"
"Over the years, Jianye has always kept his aunt in mind and would occasionally call to check on her. The past is the past, but now, it's completely unbearable!"
"Their appearance has ruined Auntie and Zhou Yi's peaceful days. It would have been better if they hadn't appeared at all, as if they didn't exist!"
Zhou Jianping knew Li Jiahong's personality; she was warm-hearted and always ready to stand up for the underdog. They had watched Zhou Yi grow up, and now that things were finally getting better, he was being tormented like this. Li Jiahong felt sorry for him.
Zhou Jianping said, "It will pass, everything will pass. This child will have a tough time first, but will be happy later. Things will get better."
"Yes! Good! It has to be good. Such a good child, it would be a shame if he didn't!"
"This is outrageous!"
The two talked outside the operating room, while the lights inside remained on the entire time.
And at such a time, in Shancheng, at the Grand Hotel.
Presidential suite.
Sun Huilan listened to the report on the phone, a satisfied smile playing on her lips: "Alright, you can come back now."
"Yes, ma'am."
After hanging up the phone, Sun Huilan held her phone and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the night view from the 37th floor, enjoying the best view from the highest point.
This is exactly what Sun Huilan wanted.
Any other obstacle that stands in her way will be cut down by her.
Show no mercy.
……
The night stretched on endlessly, seemingly without end.
Zhou Yi originally thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but holding the little one and listening to the little one's soft breathing, she gradually fell asleep.
then.
