NOVEL NEXT Proofread by May Zou
“You are…?” Lin Qi looked at Su Tian-lei in surprise.
“I’m Su Ming-yue’s father. Thank you very much for saving my daughter’s life.”
But for Lin Qi’s rescue, Su Tian-lei would probably have prepared a funeral for his daughter. Lin Qi saved his daughter, but he didn’t ask for any reward, which gave Su Tian-lei the idea to meet him.
“Well, Miss Su was just too naughty. Tell her never to pretend to be sick again. It’s no joke.” Lin Qi told him.
Su Tian-lei smiled and took out a check, and he swiftly wrote a six-figure sum on it, “Doctor Lin, you saved my daughter. This is your treatment fee in return.”
“You don’t have to give me any money for it. I saved Miss Su not for your reward.” Lin Qi refused him flatly, “Besides, it’s just a doctor’s job, and no big deal. Furthermore, I am not a doctor yet, so please don’t mention about the treatment fee.”
Although he was rather short of money now, he was to follow what was said in the book of inheritance. Moreover, doctors treat patients not for money.
Su Tian-lei was dazed. He thought to himself that this Lin Qi was indeed the kind of person as the steward said, so he thought highly of him.
Taking back the check in embarassment, Su Tian-lei didn’t feel uneasy but laughed, “Sure enough, the heroes come from the youth. Dr. Lin’s good medical ethics is quite admirable. Well, my company is in need of a reliable pharmaceutical sales manager. If you, Dr. Lin, don’t feel the position is beneath you, you might as well give it a try…”
His remarks were full of sincerity. The king-like president of Su Group would be so humble to an ordinary student, anyone could tell the intention of winning him over unless he was a fool.
And what was surprising was that from the very beginning Su Tian-lei offered the position of a manager, which was enough to show his trust and appreciation to Lin Qi.
Everybody looked at Lin Qi with envy. They were all still in practice, while Lin Qi was going to rocket to the position of a manager.
However, Lin Qi flatly refused without even thinking about it, “I’m sorry, but I just want to become a doctor. I don’t want to do a job relevant to pharmaceutical sales.”
“Am I hearing him right? Lin Qi would have refused the offer?”
“Eww! That is the position of pharmaceutical sales manager of Su Group! With at least a million RMB of pay package to make per year!”
“Oh my envy! My jealousy! My Hatred of him! If fortune would smile on me in such a way, I would say yes without any hesitation.”
Lin Qi turned a deaf ear to the talk around him. He had his own way to go, and he had all these inheritances to be carried forward, about which he had known very well. . But a position in pharmaceutical sales was a far cry from his aim.
Su Tian-lei looked at Lin Qi’s firm expression and saw his persistence, knowing that Lin Qi had made up his mind. With a sense of loss, he could do nothing but to take out a key and said, “Just now I heard that you hadn’t paid up the residence fee. There’s a house in Beautiful Land Community, please do take it. I, Su Tian-lei, am a man who knows how to express his gratitude.”
Lin Qi hesitated for a moment, seeing him determined to show his gratitude, and not willing to turn him down to make him lose face, Lin Qi finally accepted the key.
But he didn’t know the fact that in Beautiful Land Community there were only mansions, which were located in the downtown, close to all amenities. Such a mansion was worth ten million RMB with the value far beyond that check and the position Su Tian-lei offered.
When Su Tian-lei was leaving, he first glanced at Dean Wang and then looked at Zhou Qi, saying coldly, “And, Doctor Lin, if you have any trouble, feel free to come to me. I can solve all kinds of minor problems ‘cause I am the honorary chancellor of Jinhai University.”
Today he came only for Lin Qi. So after saying this, he strode away.
“Well, Lin Qi, I suddenly remembered that there are several hospitals with internship opportunities. If you want to go, I will arrange it for you immediately.”
Upon seeing Su Tian-lei’s attitude towards Lin Qi, Dean Wang already didn’t dare to be unbridled. He quickly trotted to Lin Qi, laughing flatteringly like a dog sucking up to its master.
It’s no laughing matter. All teaching buildings of this university were built by Su Tian-lei’s investment. He was only a worthless dean of teaching. The earthen pot must keep clear of the brass kettle.
Lin Qi showed a hint of disgust and swung his arm, “Forget about it. I’m in a bad mood today.”
“Don’t leave, Lin Qi. Tell me who bullied you, and I, Dean Wang, will send him packing right away!” Dean Wang patted his chest to make sure as if he were a buddy with Lin Qi.
Lin Qi pointed at Zhou Qi and said coldly, “Who else could it be, except him?”
“Um…” Dean Wang broke out in a cold sweat instantly. Neither of the two fellows was to be offended.
Zhou Qi pulled a face as if he’d swallowed a fly. His family was rich and powerful, but compared with the family of Su Tian-lei, his was just some nobody. If he really offended Su, his family would find it hard to stay in Jinhai city.
He flushed with anger, and finally he pulled Li Wanyun toward his arms ruthlessly and said, “A poor pleb like you is destined to be single, and what woman would fall in love with you? Wanyun, let’s go.”
“Master Qi, is that Su Tian-lei really so imposing? What are you afraid of him for?” Li Wanyun was not convinced and struggled in Zhou Qi’s arms, saying, “Didn’t you say you would ventour anger on him? Now be a thim up for me!”
“Shut up!” Zhou Qi shouted.
“Master Qi, I don’t want to live any longer! Now your woman is bullied, and you go so far as to let me swallow my pride!” Li Wanyun began yelling to make a scene. There were so many people watching, as a girl she couldn’t lose her face, otherwise how could she get out of such an embarrassing situation.
Bang!
Zhou Qi slapped Li Wanyun hard across her face and roared, “You are just a plaything of mine, which I can have as many as I want. Get out!”
Zhou Qi was not a fool and knew that it was not worth it to offend the Su Group just for a woman. He turned away and walked out of the door.
“Master Qi, you…” Li Wanyun covered her cheeks, trembling all over.
“It serves her right. A woman like her was really worthless.”
“Yeah, now some girls are too peacockish, thinking that it will be great to lean on a moneybag, and such girls have little self-knowledge.”
“Isn’t is so? Others are just flirting her, but she thought he really loved her. I think it’s not a bad thing for Lin Qi to see it clearly.”
The gossip around made Li Wanyun too ashamed and she felt so wronged that she burst into tears. She hadn’t expected that in Zhou Qi’s heart she was so nasty.
Recalling the previous time, Lin Qi took care of her with caution as if she were a treasure of his. Although they were poor, they were joyful and happy every day.
But now, Lin Qi owned a very expensive property in the blink of an eye. On the contrary, she had lived with Zhou Qi for such a long time, and was given only a little benefit, but had ended up this way.
For a while, Li Wanyun’s heart was full of regret.
She wiped her tears and looked at Lin Qi’s sunshiny profile, thinking whether Lin Qi would agree if she wanted to be reconciled with him now.
But before she stood up, she was stunned.
She was surprised to see a beautiful woman coming in from the auditorium door, who was tall and slim with delicate features and waterfall-like black hair. Her shiny white legs peeped out from under her white dress. A cold and prideful temperament enveloped her body from head to toe, which made the male students freeze at first sight. Even female students also praised privately: what a cold and beautiful woman she was!
Lin Qi saw her going straight to him, he couldn’t help looking dull. He asked in surprise, “Directress Jiang, you are not looking for me, are you?”
“Yeah. You, have lunch with me.” Jiang Ruoqing said with a frosty face. She was still so prideful even when she was making an invitation.
It was hard to imagine that this woman would be so hot when texting with Lin Qi last night.
“Why are you inviting me for lunch?” Lin Qi said blandly but he felt amused. This woman would really come to invite him for lunch.
“For no reason. I just want to invite you. If you have other appointments, please decline them!” Jiang Ruoqing said in a commanding tone.
“What if I don’t go?” Lin Qi laughed.
Jiang Ruoqing frowned slightly. She searched out a report form from her handbag, handing it to Lin Qi and asked, “Now can you go?”
This report form was Lin Qi’s internship certificate, which was not only stamped with official seal, but also autographed by Jiang Ruoqing’s graceful signature, and all grades he got were “excellence”.
It turned out that Jiang Ruoqing had it prepared before coming.
Lin Qi could not help laughing, “Actually I have something else to do today. Now that you are in earnest, I only have to agree constrainedly. Let’s go.”
After that, Lin Qi threw the internship certificate to Dean Wang. Dean wang hurriedly caught it with both hands, followed the two like a minor attendant, and respectfully sent them to leave with apprehension.
Seeing this, all the other male students around were heartbroken.
“What the fuck. Lin Qi has gone so far as to have lunch with such a beauty?”
“It’s unfair. Why is it that I’m still masturbating late at night while Lin Qi is in luck?”
“Damn it. Lin Qi still looks reluctant…”
The jealous voices became extreme harsh when drilling into Li Wanyun’s ears.
She hadn’t expected that Lin Qi would have a new sweetheart so fast. And that woman was much better than her, in terms of her look, her figure and her temperament, in all respects.
Comparing the two, there were such big differences between them, like the difference between cloud and mud, which made her ashamed of herself.
