After leaving the hospital, Jiu Jiu often fell ill. Every few days, he would go to the hospital because he had fallen ill. Because Jiu Jiu was a child who was rather slow in his responses and didn’t like crying, he was not sensitive enough to pain;even if he was not comfortable, he didn’t cry, so it was very difficult for them to realize Jiu Jiu was not feeling well in time. This was why Chu Xun hoped that Jiu Jiu would make a lot of noise and cry.

Chu Xun was worried. He even thought that he had passed the contagion onto his baby. He should have just isolated himself! He clearly knew Jiu Jiu’s body was weak, yet still went to see him several times.

These days, Jiu Jiu had a slight cough. He coughed a few times in the evening and a couple times in the morning. In the day, he got better and his fever was not as obvious.

At first, the doctor diagnosed him with pneumonia and even reproached them for not properly taking care of their children; they should have sent him over sooner. All three of them were very ashamed. All three of them were looking after the baby yet he still got worse. However, three days ago, Jiu Jiu was still rather energetic. If you thought about it carefully, he had become ill within these two days. It worsened very fast, mostly because of Jiu Jiu’s poor immune system.

It was not the first time for Jiu Jiu to have pneumonia. He was a premature baby: his heart and lungs were not well developed. He had pneumonia before but it was treated until he was better.

After being hospitalized this time, Jiu Jiu was treated for several days, but it didn’t get any better.

Chu Xun’s mood went up and down with Jiu Jiu’s illness. Seeing how inattentive he was at work, his master simply approved him leave. Chu Xun could go to the hospital to accompany his child.

“I’m not the kind of black-hearted boss who doesn’t even give vacation even when a worker’s children are sick.”

Chu Xun did not act polite with his master.

The doctor examined Jiu Jiu again, and combined with his past medical history, he corrected the diagnosis. It was his asthma flaring up, not pneumonia.

At that time, when Chu Xun heard the doctor say Jiu Jiu was suffering from infantile asthma, he nearly cried. He really… If Chu Xun was sick, he could bear it, but for Jiu Jiu to suffer however slight, it was hard for him to accept it.

Although the doctor said that Jiu Jiu’s asthma was not serious, this was a long-term problem. Even if it could be cured slowly, Jiu Jiu would suffer for a long time.

Originally, Jiu Jiu had a heart ventricular septal defect. After the re-examination, his condition was not ideal. The doctor said an operation was needed when he was one year old.

Old diseases could not be cured, but new ones were found.

Chu Xun’s own cold had been cured for a while now.

He went to the hospital ward to see Jiu Jiu. Jiu Jiu was sleeping obediently. His eyes were closed, his hands were tightly clenched, his cheeks were an abnormal sickly red, and his mouth was slightly open.

Jiu Jiu was suffering silently. He even had no appetite for food these few days.

Chu Xun sniffed and suddenly missed Lin Yanchen very much. He wanted to find Lin Yanchen now and tell him that he was not dead. He wanted to tell him that they had a child, a child who was always ill.

But even if he wanted to look for Lin Yanchen, it would be very hard.

Chu Xun was really afraid that Jiu Jiu would not be able to properly grow up. He didn’t wish for anything else. Even if Jiu Jiu were a little fool, even if he wasn’t a filial child in future, it didn’t matter as long as he was living well. It was enough for him to simply be able to grow up.

Chu Xun murmured: “Xiao Lin, what do you think I should do?”

“This is my first time as a father… I am so afraid that I won’t be able to take good care of Jiu Jiu. “

After finding the right medicine for the disease, Jiu Jiu’s condition improved, but as follow-up treatment, he still needed an asthma inhaler and regular follow-up examinations at the hospital.

After recovering, they took Jiu Jiu back home and looked after him more carefully than before. They took his temperature every morning, in the middle of the day and in the evening and recorded it. Jiu Jiu had to take medicine and undergo treatment every three to five days; it could be said that he was a little medicine jar now.

Chu Xun had a child to care for, so he couldn’t wholeheartedly devote himself to his work. However, because of his strong working capability, as well as being the apprentice personally promoted by President Liu, he was regarded highly as President Liu’s important left hand and right arm.

President Liu had set up his own business, and many people were watching.

The news about finding Chu Xun and bringing him over was slowly spreading. Some people said that Chu Xun’s sudden resignation might have been because he was poached by his master; however, the timing was not right. Even if he had to change jobs, he didn’t have to stay neutral for so long.

To be honest, Chu Xun was worried about whether Zhuang Hanxue’s big mouth would publicize his incurable disease. If many people knew about it, it would be awkward.

But there shouldn’t be any. Look, even his master didn’t know at all.

It truly did save a lot of trouble.

It seemed that Second Young Master Zhuang occasionally had some merits.

President Liu had become independent from the Zhuang family’s administration, but he didn’t have an acrimonious falling out with his former boss. On the contrary, it seemed their relationship was quite good.

Also, he even had some business he wanted Second Young Master Zhuang’s cooperation with. If someone were wealthy, they might as well help acquaintances make some money.

President Liu directly thought of Chu Xun who had been in charge of teaching Zhuang Hanxue for a year. He found Chu Xun and asked, “Your relationship with Zhuang Hanxue is still pretty good, right? When I left you behind, it was so that you could form connections with him. That Zhuang Hanxue, you can tell that he is stupid from first sight, easy to coax and trick. Do you still have contact with him?”

Chu Xun silently cursed, Zhuang Hanxue probably thought he was already dead, as if he was still in contact.

What’s more, he thought he was going to die at that time, so he broke his cell phone card. Thinking again, all those previous numbers had been deleted, and his cell phone had also been lost. Fortunately, he was a prudent man. Now, he also had a telephone book with some important phone numbers written in it.

He remembered so many phone numbers, but he didn’t remember Lin Yanchen’s.

Chu Xun said, “I don’t know if it could be considered good. He used to be very impatient with me managing him.”

President Liu pondered for a moment: “En…anyway, I’ll just leave you to receive people from over there. You definitely must be familiar with them. “

Chu Xun felt that it would be very embarrassing having to confront Zhang Hanxue. He was pretty sure the other employees didn’t know about the awkward incident that was his misdiagnosis.

—

On the other side.

Zhuang Hanxue knew that this was a good opportunity for cooperation. His brother would praise him if this project was done well, so! …He handed over the matter to his most trusted Miss Duan Xiaozhen.

This girl was worthy of being Chu Xun’s favorite pupil. She was hardworking and willing. After Chu Xun left, Zhuang Hanxue did as Chu Xun had instructed and had Duan Xiaozhen take on the heavy projects. There had never been a mistake with her.

A couple years ago, she was still a somewhat naive and pure girl, but now she had toughened into a shrewd and valiant White Bone Spirit.

Zhuang Hanxue was too lazy to go to Y City. He gave Duan Xiaozhen full authority to act on behalf of him: “You add oil, I’ll look after our home base.”

What could Duan Xiaozhen say? She had a boss with dead moral integrity. When her master just left, he had even spiritedly scolded him for a spell, but very soon became spiritless afterward. To say it coarsely, Zhuang Hanxue was like a dog who couldn’t change his habits of eating his own shit. She reckoned that he would never mature in this life.

She took over the task, and went on the business trip.

As soon as she arrived in Y City, the people from President Liu’s office had set up a banquet in a restaurant as a welcoming reception to help her shed the travel weariness.

Duan Xiaozhen didn’t have any direct contact with President Liu before, but in fact, she was the apprentice of President Liu’s apprentice; she wanted to use this angle of seeing things to worm herself into becoming friends with him.

Duan Xiaozhen arrived at the restaurant, pushed open the door and saw a familiar figure. At first, she thought it was her eyes being blurry, and the imposing aura she had gathered up with much difficulty suddenly went soft.

“Master?” she happily called.

Chu Xun said with a welcoming smile, “It’s me, Xiaozhen.”

The master and disciple were reunited, it was very joyous.

After a few sentences of conversation, they had become as friendly as before.

Duan Xiaozhen felt quite wronged: “When you ran off you didn’t even tell me. If you were job hopping then you should have taken me with you ma… Can I come with you? I really don’t want to follow Zhuang Hanxue anymore. He hands everything over to me. I’m so tired. I don’t even have time to think about getting a boyfriend.”

Chu Xun said with a smile, “If Zhuang Hanxue found out that you got poached after coming over to talk business, he would definitely vomit to death.”

Duan Xiaozhen said faithfully, “I shouldn’t be counted as being poached. It’s me changing jobs of my own accord. I still want to follow you, Master. That’s the prospect.”

Chu Xun sized her up and said, “Actually, I think you are already very excellent. There is no need for me to teach you anymore; you can count as having finished your apprenticeship and become a master yourself.”

These two people, they did not attend to their proper duties and just chatted about daily life.

Chatting and chatting, Duan Xiaozhen finally remembered one thing: “Master… After you resigned, someone came to find you. My impression of him was very strong, I think that person likes you very much.”

Chu Xun’s smile gradually faded, and he vaguely realized who Duan Xiaozhen was talking about.

Duan Xiaozhen said: “He was mainly looking for President Zhuang, and I don’t know what they talked about, but President Zhuang was moved to tears by his words. After that, he gave your records to him. I remember his surname was… he was surnamed…”

After more than a year, she suddenly couldn’t remember anymore.

Chu Xun said in a soft voice, “Surnamed Lin, right?”

Duan Xiaozhen nodded: “Yes, yes, surnamed Lin. I remember now. I still have his cell phone number.”
