Village Doctor's Women-Chapter 238 - 232 people, giving a big gift

"Who are you looking for?" Angel’s sudden exclamation made Huang Long jump.

"A high school classmate of mine," Angel said, her voice suddenly full of excitement. Her enthusiasm wasn’t for Cai Qiong herself, but for Cai Xing, the chairman of the Cai Group. She vaguely recalled that when Cai Qiong had recommended Wang Jian, she had also mentioned that he saved Cai Xing’s life. "She’s part of the Cai Group," Angel continued, "so maybe Wang Jian saved one of their senior executives."

Angel didn’t voice her full thought, mainly because she was worried the Cai family wouldn’t agree to appear on camera. If they refused, all this excitement would be for nothing.

Upon hearing this, Huang Long grew excited as well. He quickly told Angel to go find out more while he continued sorting through the footage they had collected.

Angel didn’t hesitate. She stepped out and immediately called Cai Qiong, opening with a dramatic plea, "My dear friend, where are you? Save me, save me!"

Cai Qiong, who had just left Wang Jian’s place, was baffled by the call. "What’s gotten into you? You’re being so intense all of a sudden, it’s making me a little uncomfortable. Just tell me what’s wrong."

"Hehe," Angel chuckled. Hearing that Cai Qiong was driving, she decided not to get straight to the point. "Are you driving right now? Where are you headed? I’ll come find you."

"Aren’t you supposed to be working on your documentary?" Cai Qiong asked, surprised. Although Wang Jian and the others had the day off, it didn’t mean Angel could take a break too.

"It’s exactly because of the documentary that I need to talk to you in person," Angel explained.

"Is that so..." Cai Qiong frowned. She actually had other things to do today.

Just as she was about to refuse, Angel added, "It’s about Wang Jian."

Cai Qiong finally sighed and replied, "How much time do you need?"

The moment she heard those words, Angel threw a triumphant punch in the air. She knew mentioning his name would work. "Half an hour," she said quickly. "Just half an hour is fine."

"Alright. Come directly to my hospital."

Completely satisfied, Angel hung up and drove the production crew’s car straight to Cai Qiong’s hospital.

Since the Cai family had reorganized and reassigned roles among their relatives, many positions had opened up. Cai Qiong, who never thought she’d be involved, was unexpectedly pushed into a management role. The Cai Group’s private hospital in Shanghai City became her project.

One might think a psychologist forced to manage a hospital would be out of her element. However, to her own surprise, Cai Qiong found her knowledge of psychology was incredibly effective for communicating with the medical staff. She didn’t have much administrative work; her main task was simply to chat with a couple of doctors or patients each day. This simple approach surprisingly corrected some of the hospital’s unhealthy atmosphere, and she even made friends with a few of the staff members.

She had originally scheduled a chat with one of the nurses today, but now she had to clear half an hour to meet with Angel.

Once she finished talking with everyone at the hospital, she would have plenty of time to go hang out with Wang Jian every day. This was the real reason she hadn’t visited the Wang family recently.

When Angel arrived, she was led to Cai Qiong’s office.

The office was simple, quite similar to the room where Wang Jian had spoken with Cai Qiong when he visited his brother. Two comfortable sofas faced each other across a pretty coffee table, where tea had already been brewed.

"Come on, have a seat," Cai Qiong said, pouring tea into a kung fu-style teacup. The rich aroma was wonderful. "Try this new tea I bought."

"Since when did you start drinking tea?" Angel asked curiously after picking up the cup and downing it in one go. "I never knew you liked this stuff."

"It’s not really for me," Cai Qiong remarked. "It’s for the people I chat with; they’re the ones who like it."

"Alright, out with it," Cai Qiong said, getting straight to the point. "We’ve had our tea. What did you really come to talk about?"

"Well..." Angel grinned. "Do you remember what you told me when you first recommended Wang Jian?"

Cai Qiong was completely baffled. "That’s it?"

Angel explained the situation with their documentary footage. "We need to confirm if he really saved your father."

Now Cai Qiong understood. She nodded and didn’t hold anything back. "I only know Wang Jian because he saved my dad’s life. My dad was so grateful, he actually tried to set us up. That’s how I got the chance to meet him."

"Set you up?" Angel immediately seized on the juicy detail, her expression turning hungry for gossip.

Although Angel had sensed that Cai Qiong’s attitude toward Wang Jian was different, she never imagined that Cai Xing himself was the instigator. After all, Cai Xing was the founder and chairman of the Cai Group, and pharmacies all across the country had ties to them. A massive conglomerate like that was trying to match its daughter with a village doctor from some small mountain hamlet?

Angel came from a family with a strong background, and she had been told since she was a child that marriage required a match of equal social standing. Since her own family was like that, she had assumed Cai Qiong faced the same pressures, which was why she thought Cai Qiong was just playing around with Wang Jian.

But hearing that even Cai Xing was playing matchmaker, she realized the situation was the complete opposite of what she’d imagined. Is Cai Qiong actually serious about him? 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Though the fire of gossip burned brightly within her, Angel hadn’t forgotten the reason for her visit. "So," she asked quickly, "do you think Chairman Cai would agree to appear in Wang Jian’s special feature?"

Cai Qiong furrowed her brow in thought. Given her father’s attitude toward Wang Jian, appearing on camera didn’t seem out of the question.

"It’s possible," Cai Qiong said. "Why don’t I ask him?"

With that, she took out her phone and, under Angel’s encouraging gaze, dialed his number. As soon as the call connected, Cai Qiong gave Cai Xing a thorough explanation of the documentary situation.

Cai Xing had known about the documentary for a while, so he wasn’t surprised. When Cai Qiong mentioned appearing on camera, he agreed without a second thought.

From the other end of the line, Cai Xing’s tone was calm. "An interview is fine. That kid always complains that things are too much trouble. I’ve wanted to promote him, but he refuses to cooperate. Now that there’s this opportunity... wait a minute."

As he spoke, an idea suddenly sparked in his mind. "Why don’t we make it bigger?"

Cai Qiong was stunned. "What do you mean, ’make it bigger’?"

Standing nearby, Angel could faintly hear the conversation. The phrase "make it bigger" made her heart pound.

"Exactly," Cai Xing laughed. "Since it’s a documentary, it has to be authentic. I’ll get Peng Qing involved too."

"But doesn’t Uncle Peng dislike giving interviews?" Cai Qiong asked, surprised.

"Heh, whether he’s willing or not, he has to be. He needs to consider who Wang Jian is."

Cai Xing’s statement nearly sent Angel reeling.

Peng Qing? She couldn’t have misheard the name, right? As a journalist working in media, of course she knew who Peng Qing was. But she couldn’t wrap her head around it. If it was really *that* Peng Qing, what could "whether he’s willing or not, he has to be; just look at who Wang Jian is" possibly mean?

Judging by Cai Qiong’s expression, it was clear she was in on the secret. Sure enough, as soon as Cai Xing finished speaking, Cai Qiong’s face lit up with understanding and she laughed.

This village doctor, Wang Jian, must have a far more complicated background than he lets on, Angel thought. Otherwise, why would Cai Xing try to set him up with Cai Qiong? And how could someone like Peng Qing know him?

A hundred different thoughts raced through Angel’s mind. By the time she left, her head was still spinning.

She had, in the end, completely misunderstood the Cai father and daughter. The real reason Peng Qing "had to agree" wasn’t complicated at all: Wang Jian was his son’s mentor. With his treasured son in the picture, a simple interview was nothing. It wouldn’t have been a surprise if Peng Qing had been asked to give up his entire company.
