Chapter 303: What Can You Help With?
Lu Qiaoge didn’t pay attention to Zhen Xi’s attitude.
The place for making the telephone call was called the General Office for External Affairs, and as usual, Director Zhou and Elder Sister Su, who were related to the handicraft order, were both there.
Lu Qiaoge had told them in advance about the content of today’s telephone call.
This was definitely no problem, after all, being willing to help others is our fine tradition.
Moreover, the other party was someone who had provided great help to us.
Especially since he was a young person; it must be known that many young people over there had no sense of identification with their roots.
If operated well, this would be the benchmark for the new generation in Hong Kong.
So the information collected by Qin Hengzhi was given to Lu Qiaoge, including family structure, property inheritance, and information about Zhen Xi’s maternal grandfather; all of it had been investigated this time, and it was actually quite shocking, with some being secrets.
Even though Lu Qiaoge had long known most of the inside stories, it still proved that the authorities attached great importance to Zhen Xi’s matter.
Lu Qiaoge’s attitude also had to be correct, even if the brat spoke coarsely and stubbornly.
On the other end of the telephone, Zhen Xi was frowning, and he had lost a lot of weight; he was weakly leaning on the sofa, holding the microphone in his hand, with the loyal Secretary You not far away.
Hearing this, his eyes reddened; no one knew Zhen Xi’s body better than he did. Without painkillers, he wouldn’t be able to endure it.
It had been a bit better before, with the attacks not occurring frequently.
It was unknown why, but this month’s situation had become increasingly serious.
They weren’t fools; how could they not think that perhaps someone was harming him?
They had just returned and had gone separately to two countries for inspections, since nothing had been detected in Hong Kong.
However, the inspection results were all about the same.
He was his secretary at work and also in life; he took care of his diet, and he was very strict about it, even trying the food himself first.
The results proved there was truly no problem.
Moreover, to avoid suspicion, the Zhen family members did not interfere in his life.
But in business, the other Zhen family members did not hope for Zhen Xi to do well.
Secretly scheming and suppressing him was a frequent occurrence.
Making money in Hong Kong wasn’t that easy; without money, even bodyguards wouldn’t be loyal to you.
But Beidu was friendly to them and they had even made quite a bit of money there.
Secretary You waved his hand, signaling Zhen Xi not to speak like that.
Zhen Xi impatiently rubbed his forehead, not even looking at Secretary You.
Just as he was about to continue speaking, Lu Qiaoge on the other end had already spoken in a cordial voice.
“General Manager Zhen, last time on the telephone we knew your body was slightly unwell, and our leaders are all very concerned. So, I’m calling today to ask if you need our help?”
Zhen Xi thought to himself what help you could provide, with such backward medical conditions, but he could still feel that the concern was genuine.
He frowned, not wanting to continue speaking, because his head was starting to hurt again.
His tone still carried a hint of impatience: “I’m fine, I’ve already gone abroad for checks. Thank you for your leaders’ concern. I have things to do here. By the way, I emphasize again, don’t worry about the order, don’t worry about the order…”
Lu Qiaoge directly interrupted: “General Manager Zhen, we have an old doctor here with very high medical skill; he’s currently treating a great scientist. It’s not exactly miraculous doctor, but close. If you think it’s feasible, Secretary You and I can discuss and arrange the itinerary. We hope you can come for a look; maybe it will work, right?”
Zhen Xi was stunned for a moment: …
It wasn’t about worrying over the order; it was finding him a doctor?
Zhen Xi frowned, about to retort, but Secretary You beside him snatched the telephone and directly said to Lu Qiaoge: “Director Lu, let’s discuss the itinerary and related procedures…”
Then he covered the microphone and shouted to the steward: “Third Young Master is a bit unwell; come over quickly and make arrangements.”
Zhen Xi originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of the news he had learned, he felt it would be good to take the opportunity to return to Beidu.
And at this moment, he was truly unwell; his eyes were even blurring a bit. Lately, he felt his vision was declining.
So he said weakly: “Whether it works or not, thank Director Lu and the leaders on my behalf.”
Lu Qiaoge also heard it.
Actually, Zhen Xi’s initial impression wasn’t very deep. How to put it? This person seemed a bit flaky, with a messy personality, very unstable, and he looked down upon people here, doing everything without much enthusiasm.
But after actual contact, this person turned out to be very simple, unlike his dad; he was very self-disciplined. He seemed smart but had no scheming; he knew that 90% of his family members harbored ill intentions toward him, yet he didn’t use his status as heir to scheme against anyone, just letting things take their natural course.
This included even being forced to take the blame for Secretary Xue. He took it and even accepted it.
If this were placed on Chairman Zhen’s eldest son Zhen Mingze, it would cause an uproar.
So Lu Qiaoge had contacted him repeatedly.
Lu Qiaoge said: “Tell your General Manager Zhen, no need to be polite about such a small matter. We’re friends; too much politeness between friends creates distance.”
“Yes, yes, Director Lu… General Manager Zhen has gone to rest. Let’s talk about the itinerary now. Do we need to provide any information?”
Lu Qiaoge thought for a moment: “It’s good to have the hospital’s diagnosis report. It might not be used, but better safe than sorry. You prepare; I estimate it can be arranged in two or three days, and I’ll call you then.”
Secretary You knew the hope was slim, but he wanted to give it a try.
It could be considered inspecting the counter, and he could also relax a bit.
Importantly, he felt the Mainland was safer than Hong Kong.
Once in the Mainland, there would be no need to worry about someone poisoning him.
The more he thought, the more he felt Lu Qiaoge’s telephone call was too timely.
He thanked Lu Qiaoge, then seriously said: “Director Lu, do you have anything you need to buy, like jewelry, clothes, or even appliances? If needed, I can think of a way to bring some over for you.”
Lu Qiaoge smiled and said: “Thank you first, Secretary You. Not needed for now; when I need, I guarantee I won’t be polite.”
Secretary You put down the telephone with a face full of smiles.
Director Zhou and Elder Sister Su did not ask in detail about Elder Sun’s matter.
Lu Qiaoge proactively said: “Elder Sun is at Baihe Mountain. Zhen Xi will go there first, then depending on the situation. The reception specifications on our side can be the same as last time.”
Director Zhou: “I’ll go report to Vice Mayor Xu in a bit.”
Elder Sister Su said to Lu Qiaoge: “The city’s handicraft factory has already been separately spun off, and now I’m seconded there temporarily as factory director.”
Lu Qiaoge happily said: “That’s great; this way our communication will be more convenient.”
Elder Sister Su also smiled: “The two-month construction period now looks like no problem.”
The contract was signed last month, and now another month has passed.
Lu Qiaoge nodded: “One more month, but we’ve already completed 70%, so we can definitely deliver on schedule.”
The three talked a bit more, then hurriedly went to their respective tasks.
—
The next morning, Qin Hengzhi called Lu Qiaoge.
The authorities completely agreed, and Elder Sun also agreed. His original words were: Herding one sheep is driving, herding two sheep is also grazing. Come on, he just likes to treat cases others can’t, because there’s no pressure that way…
