Chapter 593: It’s The Same Even If I Say It A Hundred Times

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The atmosphere in the office was very depressing. Huo Yifan’s voice had changed.

“Say it again.”

Huo Jinyao sat behind the desk as he calmly watched Huo Yifan’s change in expression.

“It’s the same even if I say it a hundred times.”

“Huo Yifan, from today onwards, you’re no longer the vice president of Tianyu Group. You’re fired.”

“Ridiculous.”vHow could Huo Yifan accept such a thing? “Who agreed to it? Who gave you the right? Let me tell you, do you think I’m going to leave just because you said you’re firing me?”

“Yes. You’re going to leave just because I say you’re fired.”

“Huo Jinyao, don’t go too far.” Huo Yifan’s expression was ugly. He glared at Huo Jinyao, as if wis.h.i.+ng he could poke a hole in his body.

“You’re a descendant of the Huo family, and I’m also a descendant of the Huo family. You’ve helped the group, and I’ve also helped the group. What right do you have to drive me away now?”

“Because of this.”

As Huo Jinyao spoke, he placed the doc.u.ment that he had shown Old Master Huo beforehand in front of Huo Yifan.

Huo Yifan picked it up and glanced at it nonchalantly. His expression suddenly became even more unsightly.

He slammed the doc.u.ment in his hand onto the table and pointed at Huo Jinyao with a face full of hatred.

“You… Huo Jinyao, you set me up?”

“Yes, I set you up.”

“Huo Jinyao, you set me up?”

Huo Yifan was furious. He repeated the same sentence twice.

Huo Jinyao rubbed the tip of his nose and nodded pointedly. “Yes, I set you up. So what?”

“I’m your younger brother.”

“You’re welcome, Cousin.”

“You –”

Huo Yifan nodded resentfully. In the end, he pointed at Huo Jinyao’s face and said, “Fine, even if I set up a company outside, even if I scouted people from the company, does Grandpa know you set me up like this?”

“Sorry, but Grandpa already knows.”

Huo Jinyao looked at his exasperated expression and thought it was funny. “Do you think Grandpa will tolerate it? Let me tell you, it was Grandpa’s idea to kick you out of the Tianyu Group.”

“That’s impossible.” Huo Yifan didn’t believe it at all. “Grandpa is old. He wants to see his family getting along. He would never agree to it.”

“Huo Yifan.” Huo Yifan stood up abruptly and sneered. “You know that Grandpa is old? Since you know that Grandpa is old, why did you still do such a thing?”

“Did you know that when Grandpa saw these things, he was so angry that he almost had a heart attack? Now you’re telling me that Grandpa is old? Don’t you think it’s ironic?”

“Then you could have chosen not show this to Grandpa. “Huo Yifan gritted his teeth in hatred. He never thought that Huo Jinyao would have such a trick up his sleeves.

He just wanted to get ahead of Huo Jinyao, but he didn’t expect such a result.

“Why wouldn’t I show it to Grandpa?” Admiring Huo Yifan’s savage and defeated expression with satisfaction, Huo Jinyao sat back down.

“I don’t want to talk too much nonsense with you. From today onwards, you’re no longer the vice president of Tianyu Group. I will find someone else to fill your position.”

“You –”

Huo Yifan knew in his heart that Huo Jinyao was telling the truth. Regarding this matter, there was no turning back.

His heart filled with unwillingness and anger, he simply stood there.

This wasn’t the outcome he had wanted. This wasn’t the outcome he had expected either.

“Huo Jinyao, do you have to do this?”

“Yes.” Huo Jinyao was rather discourteous. “Not only do I have to do this, I can also tell you that Grandfather has said that from today onwards, you are no longer a member of the Huo family.”

“What did you say?”

Those simple words seemed to have been squeezed out from between his teeth. Huo Yifan’s expression changed completely.

“I said, from today onwards, you’re no longer a member of the Huo family.”

“This can’t be grandfather’s idea, right?”

Grandfather Huo might kick him out of the company in a fit of anger, but there was no way he would kick him out of the Huo family.

The only person who could think of such an unscrupulous move was Huo Jinyao.

“Yes, that’s my intention.”

“Huo Jinyao, don’t forget. Your surname is Huo, but so is mine.”

“If your surname wasn’t Huo, why would you be able to stand here and talk to me with such an att.i.tude?”

He knew that Huo Yifan wouldn’t give up. Huo Jinyao didn’t mind letting him learn a lesson.

No matter how Huo Yifan argued with Huo Jinyao, he knew that he had lost this time.

Before leaving Tianyu Group, Huo Yifan still wanted to put in one last ditch effort.

“Huo Jinyao, if possible, can you let Yiyang take over my position? He doesn’t know anything about me. He –”

Huo Jinyao suddenly smirked with derision.

“Huo Yifan, at a time like this, you still want to negotiate with me?”

Huo Yifan’s face was pale. Huo Jinyao didn’t mind adding salt to the wound.

“Even you can’t beat me. Do you think Huo Yiyang can beat me?”

Upon hearing that, Huo Yifan’s face turned even more ashen.

..

When Su Peizhen entered the room, she smelled the stench of alcohol all over the room. Her brows furrowed.

“What’s wrong? The contract has been signed. Why don’t you seem happy?”

In order to gamble with Su Qingsang, she had brought forward all her plans.

The two of them started the company that they had privately opened. They had just signed the contract the day before yesterday, but today, Huo Jinyao was drinking.

“Happy?”

Huo Yifan’s eyes were completely bloodshot. He stared at Su Peizhen with wide eyes. “Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?”

“What?”

“Hahahaha.”Huo Yifan slammed the cup in his hand onto the table. “I, I’ve been played by Huo Jinyao.”

“I, these past few years, I’ve been thinking, why should I lose to him? I’ve always wanted to prove myself. I wanted to prove that I’m more capable than him. But in reality?”

Huo Yifan exerted force, and an empty bottle on the table was swept to the ground.

“I was tricked by Huo Jinyao. Did you know that?”

“I’m no longer the vice president of Tianyu Group. I was even kicked out of the Huo family. How dare they treat me like this?”

Su Peizhen watched as he lost control of himself. Her brows were knitted so tightly that a mosquito could be squashed between them.

“What’s going on? Don’t go crazy from drinking. Tell me clearly.”

“Was I not clear enough? Fine, I’ll say it again.”

“I thought everything I did was flawless, but Huo Jinyao knew everything from the beginning to the end. He knew all along. He knew what I was doing outside. He knew that I was setting up a company outside, and even the company that signed the contract with me, you know? That was all a trap set up by Huo Jinyao. Let me tell you, you and I, we’ve both been played by Huo Jinyao.”

“Impossible.” Su Peizhen’s expression didn’t look good. “How did this happen?”

“Yeah. I want to know as well. How did this happen?”

Huo Yifan stood up as he spoke and stood in front of Su Peizhen.

“Tell me, why did this happen?”

Su Peizhen couldn’t answer this question. Even in Lin City, she knew that Huo Jinyao was no ordinary person. But she didn’t expect him to be thiss powerful.

“Calm down first. Things aren’t at their worst yet. Perhaps there will be a turn of events?”

“Turn of events? What turn of events?” Huo Yifan sneered. His face, which was flushed from drinking, was now filled with resentment. “I’m telling you, there won’t be a turn of events because my grandfather already knows. Did you hear me? My grandfather already knows.”

Huo Jinyao was too ruthless. He didn’t even leave him any way out.

Su Peizhen didn’t say anything. Huo Yifan took two steps back and sat weakly on the sofa.

He poured another gla.s.s of wine and began to drink. However, after he drank two gla.s.ses, Su Peizhen suddenly grabbed his hand.

“Huo Yifan, cheer up. Things haven’t come to that point yet.”

“Oh? It hasn’t come to that? Tell me, I’ve already been chased out by the Huo family. How far can it go? How far do you think it can go?”

He waved Su Peizhen’s hand away, and Su Peizhen took a step back. She stood back up, but her expression was even uglier than before.

“Huo Yifan, in your current state, no wonder you can’t beat Huo Jinyao. When he was framed by you, he didn’t drink to drown his sorrows.”

“Su Peizhen.” Huo Yifan stood up abruptly and glared at the person in front of him fiercely. “What did you say?”

“What did I say? I said it’s no wonder you can’t beat Huo Jinyao. In your current state, it’d be a miracle if you could beat him.”

“You –” Huo Yifan raised his hand. Just as his hand was about to fall, Su Peizhen didn’t retreat but stepped forward instead.

“Come, hit me. Hit here. Hit here.”

She raised her face and faced Huo Yifan. Huo Yifan looked at her and suddenly put down his hand.

“Okay, okay, okay. I can’t compete with Huo Jinyao. I can’t compete with him. Since you admire him so much, you can go to him.”

Su Peizhen sneered. “You don’t have to chase me away. I’m leaving now. Huo Yifan, I’m telling you, you can continue drinking here and continue to be drunk. I, Su Peizhen, was blind to join forces with a coward like you.”

After saying this, she left without looking back.

..

When Su Qingsang got off the plane, she felt the heat wave hit her face.

Rong City was located in the north. After the dragon boat festival, the temperature wasn’t very high.

City C, which was located in S province, was in the central part of China. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather was very hot.

“It’s so hot.” Sun Huiya was born and raised in Rong City. She couldn’t stand it when she got off the plane.

Su Qingsang smiled and looked at the long-sleeved sweater on Sun Huiya. “Director Sun, I did remind you.”

“Yes, you did remind me, but I’m old. I’m always a little afraid of the cold. I didn’t expect the weather here to be like this.”

“It’s okay. You can change your clothes when you get to the dormitory. Then you can have some good rest.”

The unit that they were working with this time was Renhe Hospital in C City. It was also the largest hospital in the area.

Their dormitory in the hospital had arranged rooms for them. There would be a welcoming banquet tonight.

“Okay.”

Sun Huiya nodded and followed Su Qingsang into the car that was coming to pick them up. Su Qingsang didn’t have much luggage, just a small suitcase.

But Sun Huiya had a big suitcase, so Su Qingsang took the initiative to help her carry it.

“You have such little stuff.” Sun Huiya glanced at Su Qingsang. “Have you brought enough clothes?”

Su Qingsang smiled and felt a little embarra.s.sed. “My husband said that carrying too much luggage is too tiring. He told me to buy whatever I need here.”

“Tsk. Doctor Su, are you showing off PDA in front of us?”

Ling Fei, who had come along with Su Qingsang, heard what she said and started to joke around with Su Qingsang.

“Yeah, she’s just showing PDA in front of us.”

Zheng Chenyu also came along. He clicked his tongue and thought about how everyone had seen Huo Jinyao personally send Su Qingsang to the airport this morning. The two of them were unwilling to part with each other at the airport.

“It’s good to have just gotten married. You guys have such a good relations.h.i.+p,” Making Su Qingsang feel even more awkward, Sun Huiya joked along as well.

“We didn’t realy just get marriage.”Su Qingsang was a little embarra.s.sed. “We’ve been married for almost a year.”

Su Qingsang froze for a moment.

Yes. Thinking about it seriously, she realized that it was almost a year since the date of her and Huo Jinyao’s wedding. There were about ten days left until the one-year anniversary, right?

If that was the case, wouldn’t they be unable to be together on their wedding anniversary?

After all, she would still have to stay here for another half a month.

She felt a little gloomy in her heart. This was their first wedding anniversary, but the two of them couldn’t spend it together.

Thinking about it seriously, she realized that they had gotten married so casually back then. Perhaps Huo Jinyao didn’t even remember this day?

Su Qingsang suddenly felt a little stifled.

However, she couldn’t feel stifled for long. In the following days, she, Sun Huiya, and all the doctors who came to Rong City started to get busy.

C City’s Renhe Hospital was famous and had many patients. It wasn’t inferior to Rong City’s best hospital at all.

They had even cooperated with many units, and on the third day they came, they encountered a unit that arranged for people to come for physical examinations.

This unit had more women. With more women, there were many items related to gynecology that needed to be examined.

Su Qingsang and Sun Huiya had originally arranged for an outpatient clinic today. But now, all of them were requested to help.

After this batch of people had been checked out, almost two days had pa.s.sed already.

Two days later, there was another random check-up. Even though they were here for an exchange, they all became extremely busy.

In the blink of an eye, Su Qingsang had already been here for a week. For this week’s work, they had to do a summary tonight.

Sun Huiya wasn’t young anymore. Being busy for so many days was a little too much for her.

Su Qingsang took the initiative to let her rest, and Sun Huiya didn’t stand on ceremony. She said that she would host the exchange and cooperation meeting tonight.

Su Qingsang nodded and picked up her laptop. She originally wanted to go back to the temporary office that they had arranged to make preparations.

She didn’t expect that as soon as she walked out of the corridor, she met a group of people in front of her who were rus.h.i.+ng to this direction.

The man in the lead made her freeze for a moment. She held her laptop and stood there motionlessly.

“Uncle?”

Zhang Yichen was holding a pregnant woman in his arms. He was stunned when he saw Su Qingsang.

“Why are you here?”

“I –” Su Qingsang looked at the pregnant woman in his arms. Blood was already flowing out of her lower body. She waved her hand. “Let’s not talk about that first. What’s the situation?”

Zhang Yichen wasn’t the only one. There were several soldiers standing behind him. Everyone looked nervous.

“She fell just moments before and seems to be in danger. Hurry up and save her.”

Zhang Yichen didn’t have time to explain further and quickly explained the situation.

Su Qingsang looked at Zhang Yichen and her first reaction was: Isn’t Huo Jinyao’s luck a little too good?

Why did he always run into victims?

She didn’t have time to think about anything else. She quickly waved her hand.

“Come, let’s go this way. Arrange for someone to go through the procedures. I’ll check her first.”

“Okay.” Zhang Yichen breathed a sigh of relief. He carried the pregnant woman into the treatment room arranged by Su Qingsang.

Su Qingsang pulled up the curtain to check the pregnant woman. Before the curtain was closed, Zhang Yichen called out to her.

“Qingsang?”

“You must save her and the baby in her belly.”

Su Qingsang glanced at him. She could discern the seriousness in his eyes, and she nodded. She silently closed the curtain.

After the examination, she quickly walked out.

“Her condition isn’t good and she needs a c-section. I’ll get someone to arrange the surgery now. Don’t worry, her life should be safe for now.”

“Can you do the surgery yourself?”

Su Qingsang froze. They were here on a learning exchange. It wasn’t impossible for her to perform the surgery. However, it needed to be arranged by the higher-ups.

“I believe in you.”

Zhang Yichen stared at her face. With that trusting look in his eyes, Su Qingsang couldn’t think of anything else, and she nodded.

“Okay, I’ll perform this surgery.”

Su Qingsang had performed many caesarean sections. To her, this wasn’t a major surgery.

However, when the pregnant woman entered the operating room, she realized that her situation was a little complicated. She was actually RH negative.

The hospital’s blood bank seemed to only have two units of RH negative blood. If the pregnant woman lost too much blood, she would need at least four units of blood transfusions.

If she reported this situation, all she could do was to try her best to save the pregnant woman’s life.

She didn’t know how they coordinated it, but someone had delivered RH negative blood in the time she estimated.

A few hours later, Su Qingsang came out of the operating room.

It was an unfamiliar operating room with unfamiliar a.s.sistants and people. Fortunately, they coordinated well.

After she came out, she found that Zhang Yichen and the original few soldiers were still waiting outside.

Su Qingsang took off her mask. Zhang Yichen was already standing in front of her.

“How is she? How is she?”

“The mother and daughter are both safe.” Su Qingsang looked at the anxious look on Zhang Yichen’s face. “But the child is less than eight months old, and is very fragile now. She needs to stay in the incubator for a few days for us to observe her.”

“Okay, then where’s the adult?”

“The anesthesia hasn’t subsided yet. She should wake up later.”

Su Qingsang glanced at Zhang Yichen. He was still wearing a military uniform. His chest was covered in blood, but he didn’t seem to care at all.

Thinking of the scene that happened between her and him at the Huo family’s old mansion, she felt a little awkward.

Although the other party had been drugged and drunk when he did such a thing, the seniority between her and Zhang Yichen was still there.

Clearing her throat, Su Qingsang s.h.i.+fted her attention.

“Oh right, why was she so careless? And, why did you encounter such a situation again?” Su Qingsang wasn’t joking with him. “You’re so lucky. You encounter such situations every time.”

“It’s not luck.” Zhang Yichen’s expression was solemn. He looked at Su Qingsang with pain in his eyes.

“She’s the family member of a martyr. Her husband just died last week.”

Su Qingsang was stunned. She saw the pain in Zhang Yichen’s eyes and asked, “Was he your comrade?”

Zhang Yichen nodded almost imperceptibly. He was his comrade and also his subordinate. Last week, he died while carrying out a mission.

Before he died, he happily told them that he was going to be a father soon.

But before he could become a father, an accident happened. His wife had received the news yesterday and rushed over today.

She had come to pick him up, but when she saw the cold tombstone, she became too emotional. When they went down the mountain, they accidentally fell.

They returned to the city, and the nearest hospital was Renhe Hospital, so they sent the pregnant woman over.

“She’ll be fine, right?”

His comrade was the only son in the family. The newborn child was the only child left behind by him.

Su Qingsang’s eyes became a little sore. She nodded. “Don’t worry. The surgery was very successful. They’ll be fine.”

Zhang Yichen breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the surgical attire on Su Qingsang. “Why are you here?”

“Our hospital organized us to come over for a study exchange.”

Su Qingsang seemed to have just realized that she was wearing surgical attire. She cleared her throat awkwardly.

“Alright. The surgery here is done. I still have things to do here. If you guys want to, you guys can go to the nursery over there to take a look at the child.”

“Thank you, Qingsang.”

Zhang Yichen thanked her very seriously. Su Qingsang was a little embarra.s.sed by him.

“No need to thank me. This is my job to begin with.”

Moreover, the other party was a family member of a martyr. Su Qingsang held high respect for that kind of people.

“Then, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. Uncle, help yourself.”

She turned around and left. She didn’t notice that Zhang Yichen’s gaze lingered on her back for a few seconds.

Her calling him Uncle made his heart ache. He withdrew his gaze and looked at the few soldiers behind him.

“Let’s go and see the child.”

Su Qingsang had undergone surgery for a few hours the night before. The next morning, the hospital was very considerate and let her rest. They didn’t arrange for an outpatient service.

Coincidentally, Su Qingsang had been busy for the past few days. She planned to go shopping this morning and buy two sets of clothes while she was at it.

The weather in C city was getting hotter these few days. She had to pa.s.s the hospital gate to get out of the hospital dormitory.

She was about to open the map to check if there was a department store nearby when a Hummer stopped in front of her.

The body of the Hummer was painted in camouflage colors. Su Qingsang instinctively took a step back and only then did she see the person sitting in the car.

“Uncle? You’re here to see Chen Yi again?”

Chen Yi was the woman who gave birth yesterday. She had woken up early this morning. Her vital signs were normal.

Zhang Yichen had indeed just seen Chen Yi come out. His gaze swept across the bag in Su Qingsang’s hand.

“You’re going out? Where are you going? I’ll drive you.”

“No need. I’ll just call a car.”Su Qingsang waved her hand. She didn’t dare to trouble her uncle.

“Are you familiar with C City?”

“No.”

“I am. Get in the car.”

This didn’t seem good.

“Uncle, I really don’t want to bother you. I –”

“You call me Uncle, and C City is my territory. Get in the car and I’ll send you off as a host.”

Since he said this, Su Qingsang couldn’t refuse anymore. She bowed and got into Zhang Yichen’s car.

“Then, if that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble you, Uncle.”

Zhang Yichen glanced at her and didn’t say anything. He just stepped on the accelerator.
