The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 158 - 162: The Woman who Married into a Wealthy Family (22)
Chapter 158: Chapter 162: The Woman who Married into a Wealthy Family (22)
The success of Mr. Zhengning’s surgery caused quite a sensation in the medical field.
Many people with the same condition came after hearing the news.
But Su Li was not a traditional doctor after all, nor did she plan to keep saving lives and assisting the injured.
You might call her selfish, but everything she did had a purpose.
The benefits from Mr. Zhengning’s case quickly became apparent.
The business Mr. Su had restarted was extremely successful, with everything proceeding as if divinely assisted, especially smoothly.
Su Li could feel that higher-ups were giving their full support.
Mr. Su felt it particularly clearly, holding Su Li’s hand at first with a nervous solemnity, but later, he had become numb to it and gladly accepted everything.
He was confident that this time he could take his business to even greater heights than before.
In this way, his daughter wouldn’t have to be controlled by others, or look to others for approval.
Confronted with her father’s attitude, Su Li then knew that Mr. Su had always been troubled by her marriage. He believed it was his own lack of strength, his family’s inadequate prestige, that had led her to endure so much in her previous marriage.
"Su Li, this is already the tenth person who’s used connections to come to me. Are you really not considering...?" Director Wang said with a wry smile.
Su Li shook her head, "The hospital has some very capable doctors, although they tend to be more conservative, but dealing with their condition is well within their capability... no need to insist on me operating."
That might be true, but the people of the country always have this desire for a better, more outstanding doctor to give them peace of mind.
Besides those she genuinely couldn’t turn away, Su Li declined all the rest.
The ones she couldn’t turn away indicated that the person behind them was someone Su Li currently needed, or couldn’t afford to offend.
Some might call her heartless for not helping those on the verge of death.
But Su Li only wanted to say that she was human, not a god.
She had spent three years desperately learning, desperately striving, just to be able to protect her family, not to save lives or aid the injured.
For a while, Su Li’s reputation soared, and along with the praise came just as much condemnation.
Those who were rejected, some could not accept it and even prepared to pressure Su Li, but before they could even start, their efforts fell flat.
Those who had benefited from Su Li made sure she was at least protected.
Similarly, Huayin heard from others about Su Li’s current activities in the country, and her heart instantly ignited.
In a rush, without even bothering with her appearance, she left behind the daughter-in-law of a wealthy businessman she had only recently met, didn’t even go home, and went directly to the company of Yuan Qiran.
By this time, Yuan Qiran was no longer working in the Yuan Family’s company; instead, he had separated himself to start his own enterprise.
He believed he could start from scratch and establish an enterprise just as his ancestors did with the Yuan Family, and he didn’t think he would be inferior to them.
But reality had taught him how to be humble.
The initial ambition was now replaced by irritability and restlessness.
Entrepreneurship was not as simple as just talking about it.
In the Yuan Family, he only needed to control the overall direction. With one order, naturally, various vice presidents, managers, and supervisors of all kinds would refine and complete the task.
And now, everything required her own personal involvement.
Yuan Qiran had already spent a long time living at the company and hadn’t returned home.
When Huayin arrived, Yuan Qiran, disheveled, was holding a routine meeting with a group of newly recruited tech staff.
Separated by the transparent glass of the meeting room, Huayin shook her head, unable to believe that the man she saw was her husband, the one who fascinated her, who was always impeccably dressed in a suit, stern and authoritative.
The traits she was enamored with, the traits she admired, were no longer visible in Yuan Qiran.
Even his current disarray was less appealing than that of the supervisor sitting beside him, who had groomed himself neatly, his hair combed until it shone.
However, remembering the reason for her visit, Huayin suppressed the strange feelings welling up inside her and gently tapped on the transparent glass.
Yuan Qiran’s sharp eyes looked over, made a pausing gesture to those below, then hurried with quick strides to come out.
"Qiran, Su Li is in the country. Our Ming Ting might be saved. Arrange it quickly so she can perform the surgery for Ming Ting... We haven’t found a matching organ donor yet, but finally, heaven hasn’t completely cut off our last chance."
Huayin spoke as if it were a given, not even realizing whether her husband could do it or not. freёnovelkiss.com
After hearing her, Yuan Qiran, avoiding her gaze, could not bring himself to look into Huayin’s eyes, which were gleaming with hope.
Huayin didn’t know that as soon as he had heard about Su Li’s fame, he had pulled every string he could, even going to old Mr. Zhengning, but to no avail, he had been refused.
Now without his former power and influence, he couldn’t exert any pressure, and even if he had other ideas, Mr. Zhengning would press down on him, forbidding him to act. The opposing party’s current capabilities were not something the Yuan Family could contend with.
The largest families above all owed favors to the party in question, so unless she was willing of her own accord, no one could, nor dared to force her.
"Ah Yin, it might not be possible..." Yuan Qiran said with difficulty, "The other party has refused to lead the surgery for Ming Ting."
"What...?" Huayin gaped in shock, "Is it true that even you can’t get them to agree?"
Her husband, who seemed like a god in her eyes, all-powerful, was not supposed to be like this.
Shouldn’t it have been one word from him, and the other party would obediently come forward?
Huayin couldn’t believe that the powerful man she admired had vanished.
Yuan Qiran didn’t know how to explain to Huayin that after he was no longer the heir to the family, there was a vast difference in resources and influence.
But even if he explained to Huayin, she might not understand.
Unlike Su Li...
If it were her, by now she would have certainly used her outstanding diplomatic skills to attract many resources and clients for him, instead of him struggling alone in a difficult and lonely fight.
Without speaking their divergent thoughts, the room was so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping could have been heard.
For the love of her child, Huayin, despite everything, forcefully suppressed her complex thoughts.
"Qiran, call your cousin. I will ask him...to save his nephew..."
Since Yuan Qiran had mentioned the enormous rift between heirs and non-heirs, then seeking help from the current heir, Yuan Jingran, should be possible, right?
Yuan Qiran sighed, albeit reluctant, but still made the call.
Given Huayin’s way of thinking, if he disagreed now, she might go off and do something on her own; it was better to keep an eye on her actions personally.
"Hey, Qiran, how come you’re willing to call your brother? I thought you’d never want to deal with me again, especially since I took what you valued most."
The moment the call connected, Yuan Jingran’s tone was flippant and nonchalant, lazily drifting through.
