Chapter 838: Planned Visitor
Editor: Henyee Translations
It had been a few days since Murong Qiao was hospitalized.
Although she had not lived at home for the past few days, her life was far more nourishing than at home.
Firstly, her Second Brother, had forbidden her to do anything and rest well and leave her work to others. As a result, Murong Qiao had really enjoyed this holiday for the past few days.
Then, there was Huo Yichen. Everyday after he got off work, he would come to the hospital in time to accompany her. He never let Murong Qiao get bored.
“Big Brother, my hand is almost healed, right? Can I be discharged today?”
However, there should be a limit to every good holiday.
Although Murong Qiao also wanted to slack off, she couldn’t just stay on this hospital bed when she thought about how there were still a lot of things waiting for her to deal with outside.
Moreover, after two days of rapid recuperation and recovery, the wound had already recovered a lot. At the very least, Murong Qiao could already move slightly, and it didn’t affect the small movements of her wrist.
Murong Zheng put aside a perfectly peeled apple and glanced at his Little Sister’s hand. “It’s still too soon.”
“But you can go out if you want.” Murong Zhong’s tone was indifferent.
Even an ordinary fruit knife was wielded with great smoothness and skill like a scalpel in his hand. He careved a beautiful rabbit shape on the apple.
“If you want to leave a scar on your hand, that’s up to you. As long as you don’t mind.”
As soon as he said this, Qiao Qiao immediately knew that she had to lie down for a while longer.
In Murong Zheng’s opinion, his Little Sister’s best option was to lie in the hospital for another week.
If not for the fact that he felt that this request was a little too much and didn’t say anything, he would have let Murong Qiao stay in the hospital until the wound on her arm completely healed. He would only let her go when there was no trace left.
“Rest well for the next few days. If you feel bored, you can go out and walk around.” Murong Zheng also knew that he had been controlling his Little Sister too much recently, so he relaxed and said.
He was about to say something else, but before he could speak, the rest of his words were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.
It was morning now, and this was not a suitable time to visit.
Murong Zheng frowned and glanced at the electronic screen beside him. It didn’t show that a visitor had come.
Therefore, he casually stuffed the rabbit apple he had just carved into his Little Sister’s hand. Then, he stood up and went out to take a look.
The visitor outside was very polite. After knocking, there was no movement, as if he was waiting outside.
Murong Zheng reached the door and pushed it open. The moment he saw the person outside, he raised his eyebrows, but he didn’t look surprised.
Or rather, he had long known that the other party would find this place. However, it was a little earlier than he had imagined. It seemed that he was not too stupid.
“Shall we go somewhere else to talk?” Jiang Wenxu stood at the door and looked at Murong Zheng.
Although he spoke in a questioning and respectful tone, when the two of them stood together, their auras were actually on an equal level. It was just that their styles were different, so they attracted the attention of many nurses beside them.
Murong Zheng clearly didn’t like the attention either. He nodded coldly. After agreeing to Jiang Wenxu’s words, he took the initiative to walk in the direction of his office and led the other party to a different place.
His office was quiet enough, and without permission, ordinary people wouldn’t come over to disturb him.
Jiang Wenxu, who was following behind, didn’t say anything along the way. He looked a little frustrated, but as if he had thought of something, he calmed down and looked at Murong Zheng’s back patiently.
Previously, he had been busy with his company’s projects and had been running around every day.
In the end, the project that was originally going smoothly with endless good news suddenly sent him bad news today, saying that it was going to be forced to be suspended.
He had originally planned to announce it at the time and the various publicity plans that followed.
When he suddenly heard that it would be suspended without a proper reason, Jiang Wenxu naturally didn’t accept the results and started to get someone to investigate.
In the end…
“If you have something to say, say it here.” Murong Zhong brought the other party into his office and sat on the chair to look at him. He had no intention of bringing up the topic first.
Jiang Wenxu looked at the other party steadily. He was very sure that although Murong Zhong didn’t say anything, he must be especially clear about the reason for his appearance here.
Thinking of the project that he was suspended halfway, Jiang Wenxu frowned slightly.
However, when he thought of his motive for coming here, Jiang Wenxu still held back. “Our company recently started a new project to study biomedical science. I’m sure you’ve heard of it.”
Biomedicine was a complicated field. Although Jiang Wenxu knew that Murong Zheng was an orthopedic surgeon, he could confirm that the other party definitely knew about this.
Murong Zhong was a true genius. He had made outstanding contributions in the medical field. Even people who were not in the medical field had heard of his famous reputation for winning awards. Even though he was only an orthopedic doctor in the central hospital now, he had still made a lot of contributions to the medical field.
“I think I’ve heard of it before,” Murong Zhong replied vaguely.
He didn’t seem to care about this. He only looked up at Jiang Wenxu, as if he was waiting for him to continue.
This passive feeling made the person sitting opposite him feel disgusted.
However, Jiang Wenxu couldn’t flare up. “But now, this project has stopped. They said that it was a problem on Murong Chuan’s side… It’s stuck.”
His words were a little hesitant and friendly, but the reality of the situation was much more dire than Jiang Wenxu had described.
There were many patents and researches involved in the process to publish something related to biomedical science. They required all kinds of trivial procedures to pave the way for them bit by bit before there were any results.
Coincidentally, some of Murong Zheng’s previous scientific research results were among the material that the experts had been researching recently for this project.
However, Murong Zhong was immersed in his own medicine research and had never liked to participate in such things. Therefore, his academic achievements were entrusted to Murong Chuan. That was why Jiang Wenxu chose to solve the problem from the root today.
“We’re part of the same circle and we meet often. If my subordinates have offended the Murong Family in any way, I’ll apologize here—”
Jiang Wenxu simply went straight to the point.
He was focused on solving the problem, but he didn’t see Murong Zhong’s cold expression from the beginning to the end.
Murong Zhong knew that the other party would come here. At the very least, this was a step that he had expected in his plan. However, he didn’t expect Jiang Wenxu to be the same. The crisis had already arrived, but he didn’t know why. Even when he heard the other party apologize to him hypocritically, he didn’t realize the real source of the problem.
It was rare for Murong Zhong to lose his patience. He interrupted the other party directly.
“I don’t think you understand the reason.”
He still had to change Qiaoqiao’s dressing later, and there was even a lot of research that he needed to continue working on. No matter what, he couldn’t waste his time arguing with Jiang Wenxu.
Murong Zheng directly pointed out the main point to the other party. “What I need is not your apology, Young Master Jiang.”
“And I’m not the one who you should really apologize to.”
With that, Murong Zheng stood up and left the office, leaving Jiang Wenxu standing rooted to the ground. He watched in confusion as the other party pushed open the door and walked away.
