Madam Qu had sought a lot of doctors for her illness, but most of them had been helpless. They could only make Madam Qu pay attention to her emotions and diet.
The Qu family also had some status in Beijing, so the doctors they had found were naturally famous heart surgeons. Despite that, they had been helpless.
Now that He Chen was taking Madam Qu to see another doctor, these men inevitably thought that she had something up her sleeves again.
With an outstanding person like Ouyang Wei as a comparison, He Chen barely made an impression in front of these people. Most of them only knew that she was inferior to the prestigious ladies in Beijing.
It was only normal for them to have a prejudice against He Chen.
"Make some time tomorrow in the morning, " Qu Zixiao said after thinking for a while.
The next discussion at GC was tomorrow afternoon, but Guan Chi wouldn't be present. He could only listen to the GC seminar long-distance tomorrow morning.
"Yes." The secretary took out a notepad and changed the schedule."But Mr. Guan is a little troublesome. It's not easy to make an appointment with him."
Guan Chi was the CEO of GC at the age of 28.
After returning as an elite, he was indeed extremely capable. If they were to meet face-to-face, the Qu Corporation might be slightly behind.
Both the Qu Corporation and GC Group were in the media industry. Qu Zixiao had good vision and was also very capable. This time, he and GC were discussing a media auction cooperation case.
"Has anyone sent Guan Chi's information over?" Qu Zixiao looked at the secretary. Many things in the business field had to fit somebody's fancy.
The secretary nodded."A gentleman sent it here before, I'll send it up."
Qu Zixiao was a successful businessman with a wide social network. Because of Ouyang Wei, he had met many well-known private investigators in the industry and had good relationships with them.
"Chairman Qu, another 'The Realm of Gods' has been launched on Continent M. When is it convenient for you to check it out?" The secretary flipped through the schedule.
The Qu Corporation had invested 120 million yuan in "The Realm of Gods".
There weren't many good sci-fi movies in China. Qu Zixiao did it because it was a domestic sci-fi movie and also to bring popularity to the Qu Corporation.
He wouldn't suffer losses no matter the aspect.
"It depends, " Qu Zixiao said lightly.
It didn't take long for him to receive the information from a private investigator.
Sitting on the chair, he flipped through it and was very surprised by the contents.
Guan Chi had been the top scorer in science in the college entrance examination. He had continuously rejected Beijing University and University A recruits and had been determined to enter University S's big finance department. Then, he passed the University M's big financial project within two years.
In the first year of school, he had followed a professor to participate in a project, obtained a certificate as a senior stock analyst, and was then thrown an olive branch by two well-known financial industry leaders.
He had rejected all of them and created his own GC Group. His business philosophy was very strong, and he had received nearly 200 million in investments even before he registered the GC trademark. In the short span of three years, GC Group had entered the world's top 500 businesses.
He was University S's big financial talent and University M's top 10 outstanding student. He had a double degree in financial engineering and criminal investigation and was showcased as an upstart in the financial magazine.
On the Internet, he was compared with Song Luting of Beijing University. They were both in the science major and had secretly studied criminal investigation.
His hobbies and interests were even listed below. This financial genius liked criminal investigation very much.
After reading carefully, Qu Zixiao exhaled and had more of an understanding now.
It was good to have a breakthrough, especially in the criminal investigation.
He opened the drawer on the left and was about to put the document in when he saw the information about He Chen that Ouyang Wei had investigated three years ago.
At that time, he and He Chen had been married for not too long, so he had asked Ouyang Wei to check on her.
Ouyang Wei was a junior member of 129 at that time and hadn't found much information about He Chen. She worked in a newspaper agency, and there had been traces of her deliberately bumping against him several times...
Qu Zixiao glanced over the information, hesitated for a moment, and then put Guan Chi's information document in.
...
In the morning after working overtime, Qu Zixiao received a call from Madam Qu, asking him to pick He Chen up at her residence, then set off from the Qu family's house to the hospital.
Upon hearing this, Qu Zixiao's headache worsened.
He looked at his assistant driving the car and massaged his temples."Go to her apartment."
The assistant nodded respectfully and glanced in the rearview mirror without saying anything.
He conscientiously drove to He Chen's residence.
He Chen lived in the old part of the city, where the housing price wasn't very high. This area was very lively, and the fresh morning air could be felt when passing by the breakfast place.
There was a famous breakfast spot where the queue lined up to the end of the street in the morning.
In the small area, a group of elderly people was doing Tai Chi early in the morning, and some others had gathered for morning tea.
"Isn't that Mr. Liang?" The assistant looked at the senior man heading the Tai Chi group and was surprised.
The recent rise of webcomics had caused the Chinese culture to become even more popular. As the successor of the Chinese culture in the Beijing Tai Chi Embassy, Mr. Liang had been popular on the Internet after videos of his kicking had been popularized.
The most important thing was that he was a treasure of material culture and was considered a national treasure.
This was a hot spot for videos.
Most of the Qu Corporation's employees knew Mr. Liang.
Qu Zixiao was also very surprised to see him here. He didn't expect Mr. Liang to live in such a down-to-earth place.
But watching Mr. Liang's earnest punch and doing Tai Chi, he didn't interrupt and only secretly noted this.
Qu Zixiao and He Chen had always been very different. He seldom came to find her and had never entered her room before. This time, her address had even been given by Madam Qu.
He went downstairs and called He Chen.
He Chen only indifferently told him to wait.
Qu Zixiao frowned and was about to go in.
As soon as he stood by the elevator, the door opened, and a man wearing a white shirt and black slacks stood leaning on the left. He had one hand in his pocket and his eyebrows were drooping.
Qu Zixiao was stunned."Mr. Guan? Why are you here?"
This person was Guan Chi, the person he couldn't make an appointment with.
Upon hearing this, Guan Chi also raised his head, his eyebrows energetic and young. Upon a closer look, there was a faint depression, and his gaze became even more complicated when he saw Qu Zixiao.
He just nodded slightly at him."I came to find someone."
He directly left after that.
Beside him, Qu Zixiao's assistant stared at Guan Chi's back, extremely surprised."Why is President Guan here?"
Qu Zixiao shook his head.
According to the information, Guan Chi's home was in the urban area. If he had come here so early, it must have been someone very important to him.
It was five minutes before He Chen came down.
Instead of having her hair tied today, she had it casually draped on her shoulders. She was wearing a light blue floral dress and rare black glasses on the bridge of her nose. She came out of the elevator slovenly dressed and wearing flip-flops.
This building wasn't far from the gate, and the assistant's car was also parked outside.
He Chen walked in front of Qu Zixiao, and the elderly passing by stopped to greet her.
"Xiao Chen, good morning."
"Is Xiao Chen going out so early?"
"..."
He Chen responded with a smile and greeted every person that called her. She was gentle and patient with each of them.
Looking at her back, Qu Zixiao suddenly remembered that he had always seen Madam Qu watching He Chen's interview videos. Most of them were trivial and homely videos of old people on the local channel, which few people watched nowadays.
They passed by the group of people practicing Tai Chi.
The old man wearing a white exercise suit took the lead and stopped directly."Xiao Chen, see if I'm right. Is this the 14th style?"
He excitedly demonstrated to He Chen and then pointed to another old man."This old man said I was wrong. You be the judge!"
"You're obviously wrong!" Another old man came over, red in the face."Xiao Chen, show him!"
He Chen had always had a way to deal with the elderly.
She casually made a big gesture and said with her drooping eyebrows patient and serious, "Grandpa Bai, Grandpa Liang's move is his restored version of the 14th style. Yours is the traditional 14th style passed down from generation to generation..."
Within three minutes, the matter was resolved.
Qu Zixiao's assistant watched as she went to the famous breakfast shop, weaved past the crowd, and directly took two soy milk buns. He couldn't resist himself and finally asked why she was so familiar with Elder Liang."Young Madam, have you learned Tai Chi before?"
Even if her movement was amateurish, it had looked like the real deal.
He Chen took a bite of the bun, then took a picture of the meat-stuffed bun before sending it to Qin Ran—
[Look at this meat, isn't it fragrant?]
She replied to the assistant after sending it, "I participated in an interest club in university."
Qu Zixiao glanced at her in the backseat and said nothing.
The car went straight to the Qu family's mansion.
Madam Qu was already waiting at the door and was obviously very happy to see them coming together.
They all got into a limousine.
Madam Qu sat with He Chen while Qu Zixiao sat alone. He pulled the table out, put down the computer, and listened to the meeting on the way.
They soon arrived at First Hospital.
He Chen went straight to the inpatient department and pressed two floors — the 15th and 17th floors.
Butler Qu asked intimately, "Young Madam, the doctor you made an appointment with is an inpatient doctor? Which floor is he on?"
He wondered which cardiologists were in the inpatient department of a hospital.
"Go to the 17th floor first, someone will take you there." He Chen arrived on the 15th floor and carried a bag of buns out."I'll give my friend her breakfast first, and then come over right away."
The breakfast shop next to her house was very famous, and she had already told Qin Ran that she would bring her food in the morning.
The elevator continued going upwards.
When He Chen was gone, Qu Zixiao looked at Madam Qu helplessly.
Madam Qu was indifferent."I'm happy that Xiao Chen is so considerate. I'll just humor her and see the doctor. You're not allowed to ask anything, nor discourage her."
She had seen so many professional doctors to no avail, and she had only promised He Chen today because she didn't want to let down her kind intentions.
As for whether the doctor could treat her illness, she and the Qu family had long been helpless.
Ding—
They reached the 17th floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Madam Qu and the others were surprised to see what was on the 17th floor... The furnishings didn't look like an inpatient department at all. There were no traces of patients and family members, but there were many nurses and doctors.
Before they regained their composure, a nurse came over and asked, "Are you Madam Qu that Miss He talked about? Please come with me."
