Lin Bin felt a blackness sweep over him, as if he had been slapped hard across the face.
Ji Songtao and the others stood petrified, staring at Chu Ge, their minds a complete blank.
Facing Qin Ruojing's concerned gaze, Chu Ge smiled slightly, "Chairman, it really doesn't matter where I am, so there's no need to waste the company's money, right? Besides, there's a colleague from our Tianjiao Group in this room, we can chat and pass the time."
Hearing Chu Ge's words, Qin Ruojing was slightly taken aback. She then glanced back at the still-dazed Lin Bin, and somewhat uncertainly asked, "You are..."
As Qin Ruojing's voice reached his ears, Lin Bin suddenly snapped back to attention, trembling as he said, "Chai... Chairman, I'm Lin Bin, from the Xiulin Clothing Sales Department."
"Oh, hello."
Lin Bin had thought Qin Ruojing might say a few comforting words, and was pondering what he should say in response. However, Qin Ruojing merely replied with a polite "hello" and then turned her attention back to Chu Ge.
"You suffered such a severe injury for the company's sake, no matter what, the company won't treat you unfairly. It's only right to get you a private room."
After speaking, Qin Ruojing didn't wait for Chu Ge to respond before looking at Ji Songtao and the others, "You're all colleagues of Chu Ge, right? Please help him gather his things, let's go now."
Hearing Qin Ruojing use the word "please," the members of the Operation Management Department were immediately flattered, nodding their heads, their feelings indescribably complex—both uplifted and touched, their gazes at Qin Ruojing filled with even more respect.
As the chairman of a group company, upon hearing that an employee was injured for the company, she personally came to visit—where can you find such a considerate chairman?
Working under such a boss is indeed a great blessing!
Of course, Ji Songtao and the others could never have imagined that it was actually Qin Ruojing who personally brought Chu Ge to the hospital. For Chu Ge, she had even limped barefoot down the icy streets after a heavy rain, walking quite a distance.
Responding, Ji Songtao and the others began to pack up, and it was only then that they noticed a brand new golden iPhone 5S beside Chu Ge.
Picking up the iPhone 5S, Feifei whispered, "Vice Minister Chu, you finally got a new phone?"
Chu Ge smiled, "It was a gift."
Considering the chairman was still present, Feifei didn't say much more, her gaze showing some envy as she helped Chu Ge pack it up.
Chu Ge didn't have much with him, and Ji Songtao and the others didn't have much to pack either—it took less than two minutes before they were ready to leave.
However, just then, a doctor in a white coat appeared at the door, his face full of excitement.
"Minister Lin, Minister Lin, there's finally a private room available, shall I move you there now?"
Lin Bin cursed inwardly, damn it, why did you have to come now? Earlier or later, but it had to be now?
Our chairman is right here watching, and I just have a mild burn on my hand. If you talk to me about this now, what's our chairman supposed to think? Surely she'll suspect something shady is going on? Although it is what it is, she can't know about it!
However, no matter how unhappy Lin Bin was inside, he couldn't lose his temper in front of Qin Ruojing, so he held back his anger and signaled to the doctor.
"When did I ask for a private room? You must be mistaken."
Seeing Lin Bin's slightly furrowed brow and unfriendly tone, the doctor at the door felt even more frustrated than Lin Bin. He thought Lin Bin was speaking in reverse, blaming him for not doing his job well, taking so long to arrange the private room.
Suppressing his displeasure, the doctor at the door quickly added, "Minister Lin, I know I arranged it a bit late, but you can't blame me. There's only one private room available—I had to swap someone else's name for yours. Please just go over."
Hearing the doctor at the door actually say this, Lin Bin's face instantly turned an ashen grey, his anger boiling inside, wanting desperately to curse the doctor's ancestors thoroughly.
This person is so clueless! Talking about this in front of our chairman, aren't you just causing trouble for me?!
Sure enough, as Lin Bin was feeling uneasy, Qin Ruojing's gaze turned towards him. Although she didn't speak, her eyes clearly carried a questioning look.
Under Qin Ruojing's gaze, Lin Bin suddenly realized something else, his heart skipping a beat, and cold sweat instantly seeping from his forehead.
"Doctor, don't you think what you're doing violates your professional ethics?"
With just a glance at Lin Bin, Qin Ruojing shifted her gaze to the doctor at the door, her expression slightly chilly as she questioned him.
"Who are you? What gives you the right to tell me what to do? You're a pretty young lady, but why meddle in other people's business so much?"
Seemingly not expecting Qin Ruojing to ask this, the doctor at the door frowned and replied impatiently.
Watching the doctor who gave Qin Ruojing a hard time, Lin Bin felt like crying inside. Damn, are you here just to mess with me?
Coincidentally, after scolding Qin Ruojing, the doctor first gave Lin Bin's secretary an ambiguous glance, then grinned at Lin Bin and said, "Minister Lin? Shall we go? Don't worry, the private room's conditions are excellent and it's definitely soundproof."
"Get lost! As far as your thoughts go, that's how far I want you to get lost!"
Lin Bin could no longer hold it in. He finally opened his mouth and fiercely used the words Shu Lulu had once used to curse him. He believed if this doctor didn't disappear from his sight soon, he would truly go mad. This isn't just about messing with him, this is trying to utterly ruin him!
"Minister Lin, what do you mean by this? I'm just a doctor here. Isn't it enough that I managed to do this much? I did want to ask you to help arrange a job for my kid, but I already paid you, found a girl for you, and arranged a single room for you. What more do you want from me?"
His enthusiasm thwarted by Lin Bin's coldness, and inexplicably cursed, the doctor finally blew up, his face twitching as he confronted Lin Bin's grim, pot-black face and asked.
"Pfft..."
Seeing the two before them bantering like a comedy act, everyone in the Operation Management Department knew it was inappropriate, but they couldn't help bursting into laughter.
Lin Bin, who had been strutting around just a moment ago, was now facing the consequences. He was, without a doubt, completely screwed this time.
And among the group, the only one not laughing was Qin Ruojing.
Just as the doctor's words fell, she calmly spoke again, "Doctor, may I ask if the name you just crossed off is Chu Ge?"
"None of your business! So what if it is? What, you want to lodge a complaint against me?"
With the angry voice of the doctor at the door, Qin Ruojing turned to glance at the pale-faced Lin Bin and then started to walk away.
Watching Qin Ruojing's departing figure, Lin Bin felt an urge to kill that doctor. His body wobbled a few times before plopping down onto a hospital bed. After being dazed for more than ten seconds, he dashed out of the room like a runaway dog, kicked the doctor who still wanted to talk to him, and quickly ran up to Qin Ruojing.
"Chairman, Chairman, please let me explain, let me explain."
"Now doesn't seem to be the right time to talk about this, does it?" Qin Ruojing stopped in her tracks and said calmly.
Lin Bin's pupils contracted, and he quickly ran back to the ward entrance, grabbed the collar of the doctor he had kicked down, and amidst the surprised glances of a few people in the corridor, yanked him up.
Slapping the doctor's face, Lin Bin, his eyes red, roared, "If you don't want me to kill you, you better give that room back to Chu Ge, right now! Immediately! At once!"
When Lin Bin kicked him down, the doctor felt bewildered and was full of grievances. But when he heard the word "Chairman" from Lin Bin, all his grievances turned to shock, unease, and regret in an instant.
Now, after being shouted at by Lin Bin, the doctor was also pale-faced, nodding like pounding garlic, and almost crawling as he chased after Qin Ruojing.
This time, everything went smoothly. Qin Ruojing didn't say much from start to finish and directly took Chu Ge and the staff of the Operation Management Department to the special care ward on the sixth floor of the hospital.
Indeed, the single room lived up to its reputation. The environment inside the ward was excellent. Immediately upon entering, there were two large beds with white sheets, one a hospital bed and the other a companion bed, both larger than the ones in a regular ward and height-adjustable.
Besides the two beds, there was a circular leather sofa in the corner facing the door, with a delicate glass coffee table in front. Hanging in the direction facing the bed was a large-screen LCD TV, with a computer desk equipped with a 24-inch LCD monitor brand computer not far to the left of the TV.
If it weren't for the distinctive hospital smell, the room looked more like a standard room in a hotel.
After bringing Chu Ge to this ward, Qin Ruojing didn't stay long. She gave a few simple instructions for him to take care of his injuries and then left the room.
With Chu Ge's colleagues present, it was inconvenient to say much, so Ji Songtao and others, seeing Chu Ge in apparently good spirits, didn't hurry to leave and continued chatting with him in the ward.
Meanwhile, as Chu Ge chatted and laughed with the Operation Management Department staff, Lin Bin sat dazedly on the bed, feeling time dragging, his mind buzzing, filled with anxiety.
Accidentally glancing at the phone on the bed, Lin Bin noticed it was still on a call, and he suddenly recalled his earlier call to Tong Yaqi.
However, when he picked up the phone and tentatively said "Hello," the call was suddenly disconnected.
