Chapter 2730: Chapter 2730: Reject Angelica Lee’s Offer
Tang Qin Hao was a doctor. He was a surgeon. And he had absolutely no desire to abandon the operating theatre for a corporate lab.
Angelica Lee, however, was clearly a woman entirely unwilling to give up so easily. Since Tang Qin Hao was not interested in becoming a full-time corporate researcher, she immediately pivoted and proposed a highly lucrative alternative. She offered him the prestigious position of Head of Department at one of the flagship hospitals under her company’s extensive global management.
In her mind, it was an extremely attractive, almost un-rejectable offer. After all, such a high-profile position came with immense global prestige, administrative authority, medical influence, and a long list of elite privileges. Very few doctors in the world would willingly turn down an opportunity of that calibre.
However, to Angelica Lee’s growing frustration and disbelief, Tang Qin Hao rejected the grand offer once again without the slightest hint of hesitation.
This time, a faint, displeased frown finally marred Angelica Lee’s otherwise flawless face. For perhaps the first time in a very long while, she found herself genuinely stumped. She simply could not comprehend why Tang Qin Hao seemed completely unmoved by the wealth, power, and status she was dangling in front of him.
What Angelica Lee did not know and could not understand was that Tang Qin Hao had absolutely no need to climb a corporate ladder or become a department head just to enjoy privileges and authority. He already possessed plenty of both, and on his own terms.
After all, he worked at his own family’s state-of-the-art hospital. Within those walls, everyone knew exactly who Tang Qin Hao was and respected his boundaries. His position, stellar reputation, and medical influence had long since been deeply established.
More importantly, the Tang Family fully understood his eccentric personality and uncompromising methods. They knew exactly how he worked. They knew how he treated patients with blunt honesty. And they knew that, despite his notoriously cold temperament, his surgical skills were nothing short of exceptional.
If Tang Qin Hao were to leave and work at a foreign hospital under Angelica Lee’s thumb, things might not go nearly as smoothly for him. The corporate management there might not appreciate his direct, no-nonsense approach. His new colleagues might not adapt well to his icy personality. The hospital administration might even constantly clash with him over bureaucratic procedures and executive authority.
In the worst-case scenario, his uncompromising way of doing things could easily create severe political conflicts within the hospital, which could easily cost him his position or restrict his medical freedom.
Because of that, Tang Qin Hao had never once seriously considered leaving the hospital where he had spent years comfortably building his career, legacy, and reputation. To him, Angelica Lee’s supposedly generous corporate offer held absolutely no appeal compared to the unshakeable stability, complete professional freedom, and total trust he already thoroughly enjoyed within the Tang Family’s medical system.
Angelica Lee still had absolutely no intention of giving up on Tang Qin Hao. In fact, the exact opposite was true. The more effortlessly he rejected her generous offers, the more fiercely determined she became to break his pride and recruit him into her ranks. To a woman of her status, his refusal was not just a professional setback. It was a personal challenge.
Therefore, the very second their tense meeting concluded, she sharply ordered her top subordinates to initiate a thorough, deep-dive investigation into Tang Qin Hao’s entire background. She wanted to know absolutely everything there was to know about the man.
His family dynamics.
His medical career trajectory.
His closest personal connections.
His professional strengths.
And most importantly, any hidden vulnerabilities or leverage that could potentially be used to force him over to her side.
Fortunately for her operatives, Tang Qin Hao’s background was not particularly shrouded in mystery or difficult to investigate. As an elite surgeon and a public academic figure, most of his credentials, awards, and family lineage were publicly accessible through various professional registries and high-society social connections.
As a result, the seasoned team she assigned to the task completed their espionage rather quickly. Not long afterwards, a neatly organised, comprehensive dossier was placed directly onto Angelica Lee’s desk.
Angelica sat back comfortably in her plush leather chair, slowly sipping a glass of astronomically expensive vintage wine while casually flipping through the crisp pages of the report. At first, her expression remained entirely calm, detached, and indifferent as she skimmed through his list of medical publications.
However, the exact millisecond her eyes landed on a particular name listed under the immediate family members section, her gaze instantly sharpened into ice.
Tang Yu Qi.
The wine glass froze midway to her lips, suspended in the heavy air. A dangerous, toxic glint flared up within her dark eyes.
That was a name she knew far, far too well. In fact, it was a name she had burned into her memory, a constant thorn in her side that she had never forgotten for a single day.
Because of that wretched woman, MicroTech’s plans had suffered repeated, humiliating setbacks. Because of that woman, her family’s syndicate had nearly been completely pushed out of one of their most lucrative international collaborations. Because of that woman, countless millions in resources, elite manpower, and golden opportunities had been utterly wasted.
The more Angelica allowed her mind to dwell on the past, the colder and more venomous her expression became. To put it simply, she despised Tang Yu Qi. She hated her deeply, passionately, and with every fibre of her being.
Gradually, a slow, predatory smile carved its way across her red lips.
"So..." Angelica softly murmured to the empty room, her eyes boring into the ink on the paper. "You are her brother."
