Chapter 24
Violin Music
Song Fan ran outside and asked the nurse if the hospital had a violin. She was just trying to ask but did not expect the hospital to have such an instrument.
In the past, there was a doctor who could play the violin. He did not take it with him when he left his job, so Song Fan borrowed the violin and planned to play for Mo Li.
…
In the corridor of Mingxin Hospital, Su Ming followed behind Gu Chen worriedly.
According to the doctor’s advice, Gu Chen still needed time to recover. However, to make everyone think he was fine, he insisted on going out daily to deal with things.
Today, Director Zhang was suddenly hospitalized. He was a key member of the Gu family’s expansion team. Gu Chen had to visit him and take a look.
He took two painkillers before going out to conceal the traces of his own injury.
Gu Chen wore a heavy suit and came to Director Zhang’s ward. Director Zhang said, “Su Ming, put down the gifts.”
Looking at the table full of nutritional supplements, Director Zhang smiled and said, “As an old man with weak arms and legs, I always have to see a doctor. You don’t have to visit me every time.”
Su Yang wanted to throw the gift at his face when he heard this.
He and President Gu’s second uncle were behind the assassination, pretending nothing had happened.
Although Gu Chen was the heir to the company, many of the old members of the company were not listening to him because he was young. Instead, they followed Gu Chen’s second uncle to take over his power. Director Zhang was one of them.
Gu Chen was well aware of his cunning nature. He had been the mastermind behind many of the ideas his second uncle had implemented, proving himself to be a seasoned and wise strategist.
That was why Gu Chen had come to visit. He wanted to remind him that the assassination two days ago had failed.
“Director Zhang, please don’t say that. You’ve made contributions to the group. As the president, I have to come and visit.” Gu Chen said it with a hidden meaning.
Director Zhang said, like a loving elder, “You are a young CEO. You must be busy. It’s such a waste of time to come and visit me.” Gu Chen pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said, “I’ve been learning to run a company since I was young. I’m good at handling company affairs, so I’m not that busy.”
The two of them took turns speaking, each implying a deeper meaning. The atmosphere in the ward was icy and tense.
Su Ming felt his young master’s cold air could freeze him to death.
“Mr. Zhang, it’s time for the checkup.” At this moment, the nurse pushed open the door.
Director Zhang smiled lovingly and said, “Then I won’t send you off.”
After Director Zhang left, Su Ming complained,” What did he mean just now? Did he say that you can’t manage the company well?”
“You heard it right. That’s what it means.” Gu Chen tugged at the tie around his neck and said, “This old man can’t make any trouble yet. Accompany me for a walk outside and let the reporters highlight the fact that I came to visit him.”
“Got it.” Su Ming picked up his coat and draped it over Gu Chen.
Song Fan did not know that Gu Chen was also in the Mingxin Hospital. She carefully washed her hands and began to tune the instrument. After ensuring there was no problem, she picked up the bow.
A beautiful melody filled the entire room as the strings rubbed against the bow. The cheerful tune made people happy, and Mo Li could not help but smile.
When the song ended, Mo Li clapped and said, “My little Jasmine is still playing so well.”
Song Fan, who had not played the violin for a long time, was also interested. She said, “Then I’ll play another song for you.”
Gu Chen, sitting outside, also heard the sound of the music. He brought Su Ming around the hospital so that the reporters could take photos.
When his second uncle saw it, he would doubt the loyalty of Director Zhang.
However, after a few steps, he felt a pain in his brain. He did not expect the painkiller to wear off so quickly.
Gu Chen was becoming more and more immune to these painkillers. Sometimes, he would need to take twice the amount to take effect, but the time it took to take effect was getting shorter and shorter.
He forced himself to sit on the hospital bench. Fortunately, few people were on the top floor so that nobody would notice him. Su Ming said, “Young Master, I’ll return to the car to get the medicine.”
Gu Chen did not even have the strength to speak. He maintained a relaxed look and nodded. Su Ming did not dare to run and could only walk out quickly.
