As dusk fell, the nurse gently closed the curtains. She looked back at the person lying on the bed, showing no sign of waking up.

The breathing sound was slightly heavy but fairly even.

It stood to reason that after two bags of IV fluid have been infused, the person should have woken up long ago.

When the fluid level of the second bag of drip got low, the nurse walked to the bedside, pulled out the needle and inserted it into the third bag. She adjusted the infusion roller to the appropriate speed.

The nurse looked at the bedside chart. The patient’s name was Jian Hang.

The nurse was working the night shift tonight. The colleague who turned the ward over to her said that Jian Hang was from the venture capital circle and had been working on several projects several nights in a row. She was too busy to eat today and fainted in the lobby on the first floor of the Financial Building.

The initial diagnosis was fainting caused by hypoglycemia.

If she stayed up late too often without rest, sudden death would not be impossible.

Jian Hang, who was lying on the bed, suddenly turned her head. The nurse thought she was going to wake up soon, but she didn’t move for a while and fell asleep again.

The nurse left and gently closed the door to the ward.

After just a few steps, the head nurse came towards her in a hurry and asked, “Is the patient in bed 22 awake?”

The patient in bed 22 was Jian Hang.

The nurse said, “No, but all indicators are normal, maybe she’s just too tired.”

“Are the patient’s relatives here?”

“…not yet.”

The head nurse frowned slightly, sighed almost imperceptibly, and told the nurse, “You should go over and take care of her until her family comes.”

The nurse nodded.

The two walked side by side to the nurse’s station.

The head nurse said a few more words to let the nurse understand better, “The admission of the patient in bed 22 was arranged by the Dean of the hospital himself. It seems her husband’s family is the Qin family.”

No wonder.

You couldn’t get in this ward of this hospital if you only have money.

The nurse previously thought that Jian Hang’s family was not in Beijing but out of town, and her family had not arrived yet. It turned out that her husband was from the Qin family.

A few hours had already passed but still no one came to accompany her.

The life of a wealthy family may not be as glamorous as outsiders thought.

Jian Hang woke up half an hour later and opened her eyes. She didn’t recognize where she was lying and didn’t know whether it was day or night.

There was a dull pain on the back of her left hand. She turned her head and saw the tube for the intravenous needle. Looking up, she saw that the medicine was flowing down silently drop by drop, and the shelves were covered with IV bags.

Only then did she smell the disinfectant.

Jian Hang realized belatedly that she was in the hospital.

The scene before fainting in the afternoon gradually became clearer.

As soon as she got off the elevator, her vision suddenly turned black and the world began to spin. Fortunately, a girl passing by helped her and shouted for security.

Other enthusiastic people helped call an ambulance, and the security guard asked her if she remembered her family member’s number.

What she blurted out was Qin Moling’s mobile phone number.

She actually remembered his mobile phone number so well. His number was forwarded to her by her mother before the blind date. She took one look at it and remembered it.

After telling the security guard his number, she had no memory of what happened after that.

Jian Hang calmed down for a moment, sat up, put the pillow up behind her, and leaned back against it. She looked around the ward: if one disregarded the smell of disinfectant, one could even think it was a suite in a luxury hotel.

It seemed that Qin Moling had arranged a VIP ward for her.

Her bag and mobile phone were not on the bedside table, so she could not contact Qin Moling.

At this time, the door of the ward opened from the outside and the nurse came in.

After seeing Jian Hang’s appearance clearly, the nurse was slightly startled. With this appearance, she must be the most beautiful woman in the venture capital circle. It turned out that a woman’s eyes could be so deep, cold and charming at the same time, with a bit of aggression.

The nurse immediately adjusted her expression and smiled, “You’re awake, how do you feel?”

Jian Hang replied, “Still tired.”

She asked the nurse, “Is my husband outside?”

Not only did she look good, her voice even sounded good. The nurse hurriedly brought her attention back from where it wandered off. She couldn’t bear to see Jian Hang’s disappointed expression, so she used a tactful wording, “No one has arrived yet. It’s the rush hour, and the road seems to be unusually congested.”

The nurse didn’t say what was causing the traffic jam, but Jian Hang knew that it wasn’t far from his company to the hospital. A few hours had already passed since she fainted; he should have arrived a long time ago.

Of course, he might be too busy.

Jian Hang said to the nurse in a gentle voice, “I have caused trouble to you. You have been busy taking care of me.”

“No trouble at all, it’s as it should be.”

The nurse checked her blood pressure and asked her what she wanted to eat.

Jian Hang had no appetite. The medicine she took irritated her stomach, and she didn’t want to eat anything.

The nurse said, “Whenever you want to eat, just call me anytime.”

She then remembered that Jian Hang’s bag was in the closet, so she took it out and handed it to her, “Please check whether there is anything missing in the bag.”

The most valuable things in the bag were her mobile phone and ID, which were both inside.

The nurse left and Jian Hang took out her mobile phone. There was no missed call from Qin Moling, nor any WeChat messages from him.

During the few hours she was lying in the hospital, dozens of work messages piled up, and she responded to them one by one.

After finishing all the work, Jian Hang called her secretary and asked her to go home early. She also told her secretary that she might not have time to go to the company these two days.

The secretary didn’t think much and simply thought Jian Hang would go directly to the client tomorrow.

Just after hanging up the secretary’s phone, Gao Yu’s call came in.

Gao Yu didn’t know that Jian Hang was hospitalized and went straight to the point, “You’ve won the Wanyue Group project.”

This was the only gratifying thing Jian Hang has heard after she fainted. It seemed that the indirect method of saving the matter worked. “What does Zhong Yanfei intend to do?” 

She knew that Wanyue Group’s agreement did not mean that Zhong Yanfei was willing to give the project to her.

Gao Yu said, “It doesn’t matter what she intends to do. The contract will be signed next Monday.”

The senior management of Wanyue Group, including Chairman Zhong, all wanted this project to go to Yinlin Capital. Putting aside the rumours about Jian Hang, her ability was unanimously recognized by the senior management of Wanyue Group.

They all wanted to cooperate with Jian Hang; Zhong Yanfei would have no choice but to compromise.

Gao Yu continued, “As for Wanyue, Zhong Yanfei is still in charge of this project.”

Jian Hang smiled and said, “Not a problem.” 

She understood why Gao Yu mentioned it: Zhong Yanfei didn’t want to cooperate with her. However, due to pressure from the board of directors, this project was won by Yinlin. Zhong Yanfei was definitely not happy. Once a person was unhappy, they would inevitably be picky.

Gao Yu was not worried about Jian Hang at all. There was no person or matter that she couldn’t handle. This was why Wanyue’s senior management wanted to cooperate with her.

“Zhong Yanfei will contact you soon, so I won’t disturb you anymore.” He hung up the phone.
