"Are you selling your Kangnai shares?" the two elderly n abruptly asked.
Su Xuan was taken aback. Kangnai was a hospital. Regardless of the financial situation, it always provided him with a steady inco; calling Kangnai a cornucopia was no exaggeration.
Why would he sell? He felt the system hadn’t even given him the whole hospital yet!
Su Xuan then said to the two n, "If you’re thinking of buying my Kangnai shares, I’m afraid you’ve wasted your trip."
"Are you sure you won’t sell?" one of the n persisted. "We can offer a high price! Just na it!"
Su Xuan shook his head. "Not for sale."
"Hahaha!"
"It wasn’t a wasted trip after all!"
"Yes, indeed it wasn’t!"
The two n suddenly burst into laughter, leaving Su Xuan completely confused.
They exchanged a look, then one explained to Su Xuan, "Actually, we didn’t co here today to buy your shares. We ca to sell you ours. We were just testing you to see if you were determined to hold on to your Kangnai stock."
"Oh?" Su Xuan blinked in surprise. "Why do you want to sell?"
The older of the two spoke slowly, "We’re old, and we’ve both lost our wives. We want to find a nice place to spend our remaining years together. We don’t want to hold onto the Kangnai shares anymore; we’d rather cash out."
"But why sell to specifically?" Su Xuan asked.
"We want to sell our shares to you because you’re the youngest of all the shareholders and have the biggest heart for helping people," the old man said. "We’d feel at ease leaving them in your hands."
"That’s right!" the other man chid in. "We both greatly admire you for climbing that tall building to save soone and for rescuing a pregnant woman on the highway!"
The first man added, "I heard from Director Ma that you also rescued two orphans from the mountains!"
Su Xuan touched his head awkwardly, then stood up. "I’m honored by your faith in . I’ll buy your shares!"
He imdiately called Ning Yunshi, asking her to co to his mansion right away to participate in the stock acquisition. Ning Yunshi was an expert in capital managent.
"I’ll be right there!"
Ning Yunshi was in a eting, but upon hearing from Su Xuan, she imdiately left her company and headed for his mansion.
An opportunity like this was hard to co by!
And so, that morning, Su Xuan acquired the shares from Kangnai’s fourth and sixth largest shareholders. With this single move, he transford into Kangnai’s new majority shareholder.
Originally, all the shareholders had similar stakes, arranged in a slight hierarchy. But by acquiring shares from two people at once and adding them to his own, Su Xuan rged three holdings into one. He instantly leaped to beco the largest shareholder in Kangnai, the hospital’s undisputed top figure. He was overjoyed with the acquisition, feeling an even greater sense of accomplishnt than if the system had simply gifted it to him. He was also thankful that his capital was abundant; otherwise, he never would have been able to pull off such a purchase.
"Where do you two plan on retiring?" he couldn’t help but ask as he warmly saw the two elderly n out of his mansion.
"Us? We’re planning to go to Australia."
"To see the hopping kangaroos."
"To go deep-sea fishing in the boundless ocean."
"To listen to a performance at the Sydney Opera House."
"To see the beautiful coral at the Great Barrier Reef..."
The two n spoke with faces full of hopeful anticipation, laughing as they talked. Then they said their goodbyes to Su Xuan and left.
Su Xuan thought he saw them holding hands as they walked away. What an enviable friendship, despite their age difference!
For a better life ahead, I must continue to work hard!
Su Xuan took a deep breath, then got into his electric car and went out to drive for Didi.
Around two in the afternoon, he received a request for a ride to Kangnai.
"Driver, you know how to get to Kangnai, right?" The passenger was a man in his forties, dressed in expensive-looking clothes. He was clearly wealthy.
"I do," Su Xuan replied with a smile.
What kind of boss wouldn’t know the way to his own company?
"Let tell you, driver, getting into Kangnai is really tough!" the man continued. "I’ll tell you a story. Have you heard of the famous star Bai Yingzhe?"
Su Xuan smiled again. "I’ve heard of him."
"They say he hurt his finger while filming and wanted to get it bandaged at Kangnai, but he couldn’t get an appointnt. By the ti he could have, the wound had already healed on its own."
"That’s pretty funny," Su Xuan remarked.
"Yeah, it’s pretty funny," the man said. "A huge star can’t get into Kangnai, but I can get my wife admitted. Impressive, right?"
"Very impressive," Su Xuan agreed.
"Mhm, I’d say I’m pretty impressive myself," the man said smugly.
Chatting all the way, they soon arrived at Kangnai. The man gave Su Xuan a five-star rating and went into the inpatient building to see his wife.
I should go see Teacher Wang, too.
After parking, Su Xuan also headed toward the inpatient building. He hadn’t visited his teacher once since he was hospitalized. He took a couple of steps, then turned back, returning to his car to grab a fruit gift box from inside.
It wouldn’t be right to visit my teacher empty-handed.
This particular gift box had been stuffed into his car by Shang Lianqing the previous night, along with various other things. It was a clear sign of Shang Lianqing’s sincerity.
After entering the inpatient building, he called Director Ma. "Director Ma, which room is my teacher in?"
Director Ma imdiately gave him a room number and said he would co over to find him in a little while.
"Su Xuan! What brings you here!"
The mont Su Xuan walked into Teacher Wang’s room, the teacher’s daughter, Wang Xuehan, greeted him excitedly.
"Su Xuan, it’s you!" Teacher Wang also greeted him warmly. "You shouldn’t have wasted your ti coming to see !"
He now adored Su Xuan completely. If not for Su Xuan’s help, he might already be six feet under.
"I was just in the area, it’s no trouble at all." Su Xuan handed the fruit basket to Wang Xuehan and sat on the edge of the hospital bed to chat with Teacher Wang, asking about his treatnt and if he was feeling any better.
But as they talked, his tone shifted. "Teacher Wang, why is there a folding screen set up in your room?"
"Su Xuan, Director Ma added another patient to the room," Wang Xuehan answered for her father. "There’s another hospital bed behind the screen."
Hearing this, Su Xuan’s expression soured. Director Ma had clearly told him that he’d arranged a private room for Teacher Wang! He had donated one hundred million for Teacher Wang’s sake, and it wasn’t like the stay was free. Was it really necessary for his teacher, a cancer patient, to be cramd into a shared room?
Just then, a cleaning lady ca in to tidy up and pushed aside the screen between the two beds, revealing another one. A middle-aged woman was lying on the bed, and a middle-aged man was sitting beside her.
The man glanced at Su Xuan, his voice laced with surprise. "Hey! Aren’t you that Didi driver from earlier?"
