Chapter 380: The Ignorant Knows No Fear
A black rcedes MPV parked in front of the ergency building of Sea City General Hospital.
Several well-dressed folks alighted from the vehicle.
Walking in front was a mature, elegant woman in her thirties.
She took her ti standing outside the ergency building and surveyed the surroundings.
It was obvious that she did not belong in Sea City. She just stared in silence.
“Chairman Lin, the person you’re looking for is here?” asked a man in a suit.
“Yes,” the woman answered.
The woman was the Chairman of Yii Costic Surgery, Lin Jiaojiao. The man behind her was their potential business partner, Zhou Da.
The young man driving the Porsche 911 was Zhou Da’s son.
Lin Jiaojiao thought that it was a normal traffic accident, so the first thing she did was to send Lawyer Ge down to Sea City to handle the related matters.
Initially, Sea City was not the kind of city that was included in Yii Corporation’s business expansion sche. However, Sea City got Lin Jiaojiao’s attention after the incident that almost blinded her.
That incident sparked her interest in opening a branch in Sea City.
That was also another reason why she sent Lawyer Ge here. After he briefed her about the situation, she thought of Zheng Ren.
The series of events seed coincidental, yet inevitable.
However many years had passed since Lin Jiaojiao saved lives in the hospital or how much she was profited from her beauty products, there always remained an untouchable soft spot in her heart.
When she heard that Zhou Da’s son was involved in an accident wherein he obstructed the path of an ambulance, she declined the offer to work with him.
To be able to expand her business so quickly within a few years, especially as a woman, she had to be decisive.
Lin Jiaojiao was known to be strong-willed. Sothing like this went against her principles.
Of course, Zheng Ren played a part in that decision as well.
Otherwise, Lin Jiaojiao would not take such drastic asures to draw a line between them with diplomatic business strategies instead.
Who knew Zheng Ren was so gutsy? Lin Jiaojiao grinned.
“Chairman Lin, I don’t understand why you need to co here and personally apologize to a small doctor in Sea City?” Zhou Da’s voice was deep and suffocating, like the haze in Sea City.
“Forget about the partnership,” Lin Jiaojiao said. “I’m just trying to save your *ss because we worked together before. I can’t let you dig your own grave just like that useless son of yours.”
“Dig my own grave?” Zhou Da was furious.
Apologizing to that doctor who drove his son to safety with an ambulance was not the reason he ca to Sea City.
This was just a business tactic, a chance to negotiate a partnership with Lin Jiaojiao.
However, Lin Jiaojiao had yet to show her true intentions, even after they arrived at Sea City. This made Zhou Da quite frustrated.
“Chairman Lin, you’re not trying to humiliate right?” Zhou Da said icily while he stared at the entrance of the ergency building of Sea City General Hospital.
“Humiliate?” Lin Jiaojiao laughed. “Still think that this is one of your business sches?”
“Isn’t it?” Zhou Da snickered.
With his wealth, destroying a small doctor form a third- to fourth-tier city would be child’s play.
Why did Lin Jiajiao have to act all mysterious and strange?
“I’ve said it many tis, but you’re the one who refused to believe it,” Lin Jiaojiao blew on her palm to warm herself. “You turned your son into a spoiled brat. You know that I was a nurse right? We’re humans; it’s normal to fear.”
“Fear? Haha.” Zhou Da sneered.
“Are you still trying to wrap your head around this?” Lin Jiaojiao said. “You’re very lucky to have had such a smooth journey all these years.”
“What do you an, Chairman Lin?”
“Only the ignorant knows no fear.” Lin Jiaojiao’s voice was as chilly as the winter in Sea City. “If I were you... Nevermind, it’s impossible to save a lost cause.”
“Chairman Lin, even if we can’t be partners, you should have at least the decency to be civil.” Zhou Da’s face dropped.
What was Lin Jiaojiao up to? She would not bring him all the way to Sea City just to ‘humiliate’ him if it was purely for comrcial interest. She had nothing to gain from this.
Zhou Da was puzzled.
“Old Zhou, I can’t really tell you everything. Ask around and you will know. I can only give you this much. Are you coming or not?”
“I’m already in Sea City; how can I miss out on this deity you hold to such high regard?” Zhou Da trailed behind Lin Jiaojiao without saying another word.
Then, they entered the ergency building, one after the other.
This was the night’s busiest hour. The air reeked of disinfectant and the sounds of patients vomiting and coughing incessantly.
“Chief Zheng, I’m Lin Jiaojiao. Thanks for treating in Imperial Capital. I have so business here in Sea City and thought to drop by for a visit.
“I’m in the lobby; are you in the ergency ward on the second floor?
“Oh, sure. I’ll wait for you in front of the ergency ward.”
Lin Jiaojiao hung up the phone and took the elevator.
Zhou Da was still doubtful. He had been testing the waters on their way here, but he failed to understand Lin Jiaojiao’s true intention.
Was there sothing special about this young doctor?
Damn it! He instructed people to find out about this doctor before he left for Sea City but he had not gotten a reply!
His subordinates had been living so comfortably these few years that they had beco inefficient. He had to do sothing when he returned.
The humiliation and anger were all just a pretense–a business tactic.
A real businessman would never be so easily angered.
If there was a profit, there would always be room for negotiation.
Zhou Da was deep in thought while he followed Lin Jiaojiao to the ergency ward entrance.
Lin Jiaojiao did not enter the ward. Instead, she just stood by the entrance and waited patiently.
A few minutes later, several people hurried over.
There were two young n and a foreigner.
“Chief Zheng, finally we et.” Lin Jiaojiao walked toward them and extended her hand, “I planned to treat you to a al in Imperial Capital after I recovered, but Chief Kong said that you were busy. When you finally cleared your schedule, you took the first flight back to Sea City.”
Zheng Ren was startled by Lin Jiaojiao’s enthusiasm.
It was past 9 o’clock. Who was this woman? She had to be Lin Jiaojiao who had called him earlier, but Zheng Ren could not rember who she was.
Lin Jiaojiao was slightly embarrassed when she saw Zheng Ren look so confused. Did he not recognize her?
There was a small possibility of that being true.
“Chief Zheng, I’m Lin Jiaojiao. You perford interventional surgery on my ophthalmic artery.”
“Oh, it’s you.” Zheng Ren pretended to realize who she was, but in fact, it was the surgery that he rembered.
