"Sure, no problem," Lin Chen said with a smile.
To others, ten million is a lot, but to Qin Wenhai, it's nothing. In his eyes, this amount of money is far from enough to express his gratitude.
At this moment, Li Qihui beside him had a face full of envy and jealousy. Qin Wenhai's business card and the words "If you have any problems in the future, feel free to find me" were worth much more than ten million!
"Since Mr. Qin's illness is cured, I'll take my leave."
Li Qihui said his goodbyes, and Qin Wenhai merely nodded casually without paying him any attention, let alone seeing him off. He felt even more awkward and gave a forced smile.
When he entered, he was waiting for Lin Chen to embarrass himself, but in the end, it was he who was left in a mess. Today, he really embarrassed himself big time!
In the future, he would never have the face to pick a fight with Leng Hanyan again!
Li Qihui ran away as if he were escaping, while Li Qing now had a face full of awkwardness. He knew that his previous arrogant attitude had absolutely offended Lin Chen, but while Li Qihui could run, he could not, because this was his residence.
Lin Chen was right; he was just a guard dog. However, because his master, Qin Wenhai, was so powerful, even as a guard dog, many people came to flatter him, so he liked to bite people randomly. This time, he bit into a thorny Lin Chen.
He was feeling somewhat panicked and fearful when Lin Chen suddenly turned to him with a smile and said, "Mr. Li, how about it, did I embarrass myself?"
Li Qing almost fell to the ground in shock at these words.
Before entering, he had said that Lin Chen would end up embarrassing himself, and now Lin Chen's words were like a slap in the face.
Li Qing gave an awkward smile, "Doctor Lin, you're joking. How could you embarrass yourself? Your medical skills are amazing, and you clearly have great abilities!"
"Really? Didn't you say I was here to cause trouble?" Lin Chen said with a mocking tone.
Qin Wenhai, who was standing nearby, narrowed his eyes. He was a seasoned businessman, well-versed in the ways of the world, and immediately guessed what had happened.
It was clear that his butler had looked down on people and offended someone badly!
Now, Lin Chen was almost like a savior to him, and he made a decision almost instantly.
"Mr. Li, I've told you many times not to judge people by their appearance. Why can't you listen? You can't offend just anyone. Yuehai City is full of hidden dragons and tigers. There are people even I wouldn't dare to offend, let alone you!
For so many years, you've used my connections to amass wealth and brought many of your relatives into the Wenhai Group. I've been too lazy to manage it, but it seems you've become too arrogant. Keeping you around will only bring trouble. Go pack your things and leave the Qin family today!" Qin Wenhai said calmly.
Li Qing's face turned ashen. It turned out that Qin Wenhai knew everything about his actions but had been too lazy to manage them. Now, just because he offended this young man, he was immediately dismissed. If he had known this person had such great abilities, he would never have been so arrogant!
Without Qin Wenhai's support, he would be nothing. No one would flatter him, and his relatives who had always fawned over him would probably ignore him.
He felt utterly desperate and regretful, wishing he could slap himself, but Qin Wenhai's words were final and would not be retracted.
How could he have been so blind! Li Qing wished he could turn back time and flatter Lin Chen, but time cannot be reversed!
After dealing with Mr. Li, Qin Wenhai smiled and said, "Doctor Lin, what's your bank account number? I'll transfer the money to you now."
Lin Chen thought for a moment. If he took the ten million, he could buy a flower shop for Sister Xixi in advance. However, handling this matter himself would be troublesome, so he said,
"Mr. Qin, how about this. I plan to use this ten million to buy a flower shop for a friend, but I'm not familiar with the good locations for flower shops, the prices, and the various procedures. Could you do me a favor? I'll forgo the money, and you can directly use the ten million to buy a flower shop for me, how about that?"
"No problem, I can get this done for you in a couple of days," Qin Wenhai said with a smile, as this was nothing to him.
"Thank you," Lin Chen said with a smile, feeling somewhat excited about what Sister Xixi's reaction would be when she saw the flower shop he was giving her.
After that, Lin Chen and Leng Hanyan said their goodbyes and left Qin Wenhai's house.
In the car, Leng Hanyan asked Lin Chen curiously, "Lin Chen, didn't you say you were working as a bodyguard? Why do you suddenly want to open a flower shop?"
"I'm not opening a flower shop; I'm giving it as a gift," Lin Chen said.
Leng Hanyan asked with some caution, "A gift? Such an expensive gift, who are you planning to give it to, a man or a woman?"
"Um... a woman," Lin Chen said, a bit puzzled by her tone, which seemed like she was catching him in the act.
"Really a woman?" Leng Hanyan suddenly felt a bit sour and uncomfortable, "Is she your girlfriend? You're really good to her."
"She's not my girlfriend; she's like a sister to me. After I came to Yuehai City, she helped me a lot. She once told me her dream was to have a flower shop, so I decided to help her realize her dream. Why do you sound like you're jealous?" Lin Chen teased.
Leng Hanyan felt relieved when she heard that the person was not Lin Chen's girlfriend but more like a sister, and she blushed, saying, "Who's jealous? You're so full of yourself!"
At the same time, she muttered to herself, "Right, he's not that great, how could he have a girlfriend?"
The two were about to have lunch when Leng Hanyan received a call saying there was an emergency surgery at the hospital that she had to return to perform. She told Lin Chen and then went back to the hospital.
Lin Chen thought about finally getting Su Xiran's flower shop sorted out, but since he had promised to be An Xueyao's bodyguard for half a year, he wouldn't go back on his word.
Thinking about not seeing Su Xiran for several days, he suddenly felt a bit nostalgic and called her, wanting to invite her to have lunch together.
Su Xiran was clearly very happy to receive Lin Chen's call, but she said she was shooting promotional photos for a clothing brand and asked Lin Chen to come directly to the company. They could have lunch at the company cafeteria.
Lin Chen naturally agreed, not caring what they ate, as long as he was eating with someone he liked.
Half an hour later, Lin Chen arrived at Qixing Model Company and saw Su Xiran, whom he hadn't seen for several days, at the cafeteria entrance.
Su Xiran was wearing blue jeans and a white T-shirt, with a pair of white canvas shoes. Her simple and casual outfit made her look both sexy and charming, with a touch of youthful innocence.
"Ah, Lin Chen, you're here, come over quickly," Su Xiran said happily when she saw Lin Chen.
"Xixi, your chest seems bigger," Lin Chen said with a playful smile as he walked over.
