Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1294 Facing Pressure

Xu Ying reminded her to drink tea again, and Mei Ruxue then woke up as if from a dream, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea.

Xu Ying asked: "Is the new job very stressful?"

Mei Ruxue smiled calmly and said, "Everyone will have an adaptation period. In fact, everyone living in this society will face pressure, it's just that the ability to withstand pressure is different."

Xu Ying nodded.

Mei Ruxue asked, "How is your business going?"

Xu Ying said: "Stop business and rectify."

  Mei Ruxue was stunned when she heard this, and then she remembered that Wang Jiancheng had eaten at Xu Ying's Japanese restaurant on the night the accident happened. Could it be that her suspension of business was related to this incident?

Xu Ying seemed to have guessed her thoughts and whispered, "It was my request. Mr. Wang had an accident after having dinner at our restaurant that night. Although it was found out that it was not our fault, I felt a lot of pressure because of it. I simply gave myself a long vacation to relieve the pressure."

Mei Ruxue said: "Okay."

Xu Ying said: "This is the advantage of working for yourself. You can take a vacation whenever you want. You who work in the system can't do whatever you want like me."

Mei Ruxue sighed softly, feeling touched by her words.

Xu Ying asked, "Have you visited Mr. Wang recently? How is he doing?"

Mei Ruxue said: "Fortunately, he is recovering."

Xu Ying nodded and said, "I also want to visit him, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient. I think it's better not to go and cause trouble for myself. Because of this incident, the police investigated all the employees in our store, even the person who talked to me on the phone that night."

Mei Ruxue said: "It's work-related, and they can't do anything about it."

Xu Ying asked, "Isn't what happened to Mr. Wang an accident?"

Mei Ruxue said: "I don't know. Before the police's investigation results are officially released, no one dares to make a rash conclusion."

Xu Ying filled Mei Ruxue's teacup and said softly, "Chunliang came to the restaurant for dinner a few days ago and mentioned you specifically. He said he wanted to cooperate with you to hold an investment promotion conference."

Mei Ruxue frowned slightly: "That matter was not passed at the meeting."

Xu Ying said "oh" and looked a little regretful.

Mei Ruxue found that everything had changed after returning to Dongzhou. The places she passed by and the people she met left traces of Xu Chunliang everywhere. It was difficult for her to avoid talking about Xu Chunliang. In the past, she and Xu Ying got along well, but today everything seemed so awkward.

Xu Ying said: "I heard that Miss Ye Qingya is also in Dongzhou. I will organize a gathering for us."

Mei Ruxue said, "We'll see when the time comes. I don't dare to make promises easily now. After all, I'm too busy with work. Wouldn't it be worse if I promised but couldn't do it?"

Xu Ying nodded: "I understand." Mei Ruxue said this without even asking the time. Her meaning was very clear. She didn't want to get together at all, so why should Xu Ying force it.

Xu Ying said: "I find that people often don't care about the truth."

Mei Ruxue felt that her words were a bit abrupt and glanced at her.

Xu Ying said: "I was inspired by this."

Mei Ruxue said: "Most people prefer to trust their own subjective judgment. Their subconscious mind will block out the parts that they are not interested in or do not want to hear."

Xu Ying said, "Take Mr. Wang's case for example. Because he had dinner at my restaurant on the day of the accident, the police investigated all the people involved. To be honest, Zhao Feiyang is still listed as a suspect by them."

Mei Ruxue thought that she had just talked about this topic. The two times she mentioned Zhao Feiyang were respectively: "Zhao Feiyang? He went there too?"

Xu Ying shook her head: "Although he didn't go that night, he called me and somehow became a suspect. The police specifically went to him to find out the situation."

Mei Ruxue said: "Just explain the situation clearly, the police will not wrongly accuse any good person." The subtext is that the police will not let any bad guy go.

Xu Ying sighed and said, "It's not that easy to explain clearly. He happened to call me that night. He facilitated the acquisition of Changxing by Jishi Medical, and Mr. Wang happened to be one of the shareholders of Jishi Medical."

Mei Ruxue's heart sank. It was definitely not unintentional for Xu Ying to bring up the matter of Jishi Medical's acquisition of Changxing. She knew very well that the person who founded Jishi Medical Investment Co., Ltd. was her eldest brother Qiao Rulong, the major shareholder was Qi Shuang, and Pan Tianhua was also involved.

Because Qi Shuang and her son were kidnapped, the eldest brother had to transfer Jishi Medical. In fact, the eldest brother acquired the company in order to repay Zhao Feiyang for saving his life. In this matter, the eldest brother and Qi Shuang both got away with it unscathed, and Equator Capital finally got a bargain. Although Wang Jiancheng did not transfer his shares, looking back now, he did not suffer any loss from his investment.

The person who was most disappointed in that acquisition should be Zhao Feiyang. If the acquisition of Jishi Medical led by his eldest brother had been successful, Zhao Feiyang would definitely have taken charge of Changxing Hospital. But now the behind-the-scenes boss has become Equator Capital, and it is possible that Wang Jiancheng, as a shareholder, may have conflicts with Zhao Feiyang. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the police to suspect Zhao Feiyang.

Mei Ruxue said calmly: "As far as I know, Dean Zhao and Wang Jiancheng don't seem to have any grudges against each other."

Xu Ying nodded and said, "That's right, is Mr. Qiao okay?"

Mei Ruxue heard the hidden meaning. Did Xu Ying think that Wang Jiancheng's case was related to the eldest brother? The eldest brother had no conflicts with Wang Jiancheng. On the contrary, he had always taken good care of him. However, since the police suspected Zhao Feiyang, they might suspect the eldest brother. Thinking of the Wang family's recent pressure on him, could it be that Wang Zhengdao also suspected that his son's case was related to the eldest brother?

Mei Ruxue was getting more and more upset: "He's fine. You know he's not that ambitious after the car accident. He's let go of everything he can." Xu Ying said: "It's okay to let go. In fact, people only have one life. It's good to live in peace." She smiled embarrassedly and said: "Everyone has different ideas. Don't laugh at me for being short-sighted."

Mei Ruxue said: "How could that be? I also like a simple life, but unfortunately some seemingly simple things are not easy to do."

Xu Ying looked at Mei Ruxue who was lost in thought and whispered, "Sister, let me say one more thing. Is there still a chance for you and Xu Chunliang?"

Mei Ruxue shook her head.

Xu Ying sighed and said, "I always thought you two were a perfect match. It's a pity to break up like this."

Mei Ruxue said: "There are some results that we don't want to see, but no one can change it. Maybe it won't be too long before we all have our own families."

Xu Ying looked at Mei Ruxue in surprise. With Xu Chunliang's rebellious personality, he shouldn't get married so early, but the same couldn't be said for Mei Ruxue. Could she be talking about herself?

Xu Ying suddenly remembered the recent rumors in the outside world. No wonder she felt that Mei Ruxue was not in good condition when she saw her today. She must be deeply troubled.

Xu Ying picked up the teapot and prepared to pour more tea for Mei Ruxue, but Mei Ruxue said, "No need, I should go now."

Xu Ying said, "Let's wait until the snow stops before leaving."

Mei Ruxue shook her head: "I like the feeling of walking in the snow, Sister Xu, thank you for inviting me to tea."

Mei Ruxue got up and left. When she reached the door, Xu Ying chased her out and handed her an umbrella. Mei Ruxue waved her hand and walked quickly into the flying snow.

At this moment, she desperately needed a world of her own to think quietly. The flying snow effectively isolated her from the world. Passers-by were either admiring the snow scenery or hurrying on their way, and few people paid attention to her.

Mei Ruxue felt a little lonely in her joy. She didn't know if this was the life she wanted. She couldn't tell the direction and stood at the crossroads, not knowing where to go.

Xu Chunliang and Ye Qingya climbed up to Zhushan Zen Temple in the wind and snow. Today is Laba Festival, and many people come here to drink porridge.

Ye Qingya went to the temple to pray first. Xu Chunliang was waiting for her in the yard. The snow did not dampen the enthusiasm of the believers. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of an old monk in gray robes walking towards the Arhat Hall at great speed.

Xu Chunliang recognized the old monk as Yuanrong at a glance. He didn't expect him to appear here.

Xu Chunliang saw Yuanrong, but Yuanrong did not see him. After all, there were too many believers who came to the scene to pray for blessings. Xu Chunliang quietly followed behind Yuanrong.

I saw Yuanrong enter the small room next to the Arhat Hall and close the door immediately after entering.

Xu Chunliang came to the door and listened attentively.

Yuanrong closed the door and saw a woman in black sitting cross-legged facing the Buddhist shrine, with her hands clasped together and chanting scriptures silently.

Yuanrong came to sit cross-legged on the cushion beside her. The man stopped chanting and whispered, "What's the situation?"

Yuan Rong sighed and said, "I contacted Zhai Pingqing several times, but he always made excuses and refused to see me."

"Did I tell you that?"

"I don't know. He was there two days ago, but he told me that he was too busy with business and couldn't spare the time to meet me."

The woman in black gnashed her teeth and said, "This person is not worth having a say with."

Yuan Rong asked, "Why do you say that?"

The woman in black snorted coldly and said, "Can't you see through it? He transferred the business to Xiahou Mulan. The two of them should have reached an agreement privately a long time ago. He has changed his camp and must support that woman."

Yuan Rong sighed and said, "It seems that there is no way to stop Xiahou Mulan from ascending to the throne. It's a pity that my nephew died in the hands of Xiahou Zun for no apparent reason."

The woman in black asked, "Why hasn't he shown up for so long? Could something have happened?"

Xu Chunliang relied on his extraordinary hearing to hear it clearly outside. The woman's voice sounded familiar to him. He thought of someone, but he was not completely sure at the moment. The "he" she was talking about should be Xiahou Zun.

Yuan Rong said: "I saw him in person in the capital, and he even crippled my martial arts. I wonder what happened during his years of seclusion?"

"Hey, I also find it a bit strange. I can't contact him at all."

The two talked for a while, and the woman stood up. Xu Chunliang guessed that the woman was going to leave, so he entered the Arhat Hall next door before the door opened.

Not long after, the woman in black came out of the room and passed by the entrance of Arhat Hall. Xu Chunliang saw clearly that the woman was indeed Liang Wenjing, the chairman of Enheng Pharmaceutical.
