Chapter 96 - 96: President Shen Falls Sick
Nan Ge naturally could not understand Assistant Yuan’s complicated expression.
She did not ask.
Most importantly, ever since she met him, she felt that Assistant Yuan was not a normal person.
Of course, it was not that he was abnormal. It was just that his occasional actions and words… Alright, it was just that he was not normal.
After watching the car leave, Assistant Yuan let out a long sigh and turned to enter the villa to tell the maids something.
“What? Did President Shen drink?”
Upon hearing this, the maids were shocked.
Although Shen Yanqing did not live here often, the maids were very familiar with his personal situation.
“Has he gone to the hospital?”
“I don’t think he drank much. Also, he took medicine after coming out. I’m a little worried that this medicine won’t work. To be safe, Auntie, you should sleep a little later. When President Shen comes back and you find him unwell, remember to call the doctor directly.”
“Okay, okay, okay.” The maids nodded in unison and took this matter to heart.
“Alright, I’ll go back to the hotel first. Call me if anything happens.”
On the other side, Nan Ge still did not know what had happened.
The driver was a local, but he knew that Shen Yanqing liked silence, so he did not dare to say anything. He consciously raised the partition and focused on driving.
In the backseat, Nan Ge’s gaze was fixed outside the car window, looking at the retreating street scene.
She had only seen it snowing in Sijiu City online.
Looking at the bustling night scenery here, it felt no different from Huai City until the car drove near the Forbidden City.
It was as if she had suddenly transmigrated from the modern world to the past.
Bits of snow fell with the vermilion city wall in the background. Nan Ge could not help but be stunned.
She had visited the Forbidden City once, but it was the first time she had seen it on a snowy night. Although it was only outside, it was already very beautiful!
The driver found a suitable spot and stopped the car.
Nan Ge and Shen Yanqing went down together.
“Be careful.” Shen Yanqing held her hand and helped her down.
As soon as she got out of the car, Nan Ge let go of his hand and ran to the front to take photos.
Shen Yanqing slowly followed, but his expression did not look good.
He loosened his tie as he walked, his body already starting to feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Nan Ge’s attention was not on him.
Outside the Forbidden City, not only did Nan Ge suddenly want to take photos here, but there were also many people carrying professional equipment. They were all here for the snow.
Under the guidance of professionals, Nan Ge took a perfect photo with her phone.
“Shen…” She turned around, wanting to show it to Shen Yanqing.
“Y-y-you, what’s wrong?” Looking at the man leaning to the side with his head lowered and coughing, Nan Ge no longer had the mood to play. She put away her phone and went over to support him.
Seeing that his face was pale and he was having difficulty breathing, Nan Ge panicked.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. “You… you drank!” Shen Yanqing was a little dizzy and could not speak.
Nan Ge put her arm around his shoulder and let him lean against her.
Nan Ge struggled to take a step forward. “Get back in the car. We have to go to the hospital now.”
Shen Yanqing seemed to have lost his direction and could only follow her blindly.
The driver was squatting outside the car and smoking. He was on the phone with Assistant Yuan. “Assistant Yuan, don’t worry. President Shen was fine on the way here. He was fine when he got out of the car as well.”
“Yes, yes, yes. He just got out of the car with Miss Nan Ge. He’s still taking photos there.”
“Don’t worry…”
However, before he could hang up, a female voice sounded anxiously from the other side of the road. “Sir, Sir!”
The driver looked up and saw Nan Ge struggling to help Shen Yanqing over.
The driver cursed in his heart. He stepped on the cigarette butt and hung up the phone. He quickly went over to help.
Meanwhile, at the Central Hospital.
Nan Ge fidgeted in the corridor and waited anxiously.
Assistant Yuan and Sister Miaomiao rushed over from the hotel. It was winter in Sijiu City, but the two of them were sweating profusely.
“How is he? How is he?”
Nan Ge looked at the two of them blankly and paused before replying, “I’m not sure yet.”
The driver went to pay the bill. She was alone here.
When she saw Assistant Yuan and Sister Miaomiao, she felt a little safer.
“Will he… be alright?” This was the first time she had seen Shen Yanqing having an allergic reaction. She did not know if he was usually like this. It looked so serious.
Miaomiao patted her back and comforted her. “It’s fine. Don’t be afraid.” “President Shen is always like this when he’s allergic.”
Assistant Yuan looked inside and said, “President Shen took the medicine, so he should be fine now. Don’t worry.”
“How can he drink?” Nan Ge asked.
At the mention of this, Assistant Yuan sighed and was a little speechless. “The chairman of Cheng An International is famous for being prideful.”
“President Shen was busy the last time we discussed the collaboration, so he couldn’t join us. He still remembers it now. He insisted on making President Shen drink for this.”
“Since he’s an elder, President Shen could not turn him down.”
“However, President Shen refused at first and said that he was allergic to alcohol. The chairman didn’t believe him and his expression turned cold the moment he put down the wine glass.”
“The situation at that time…” Assistant Yuan felt a headache just thinking about it. The ones who could drink stepped up to help, but the other party insisted on making President Shen drink.
“In the end, it was a stalemate. President Shen simply drank half a glass.”
“Then why didn’t you send him to the hospital after the meal?” Nan Ge was angry and heartbroken. “He’s so allergic to alcohol that it’s useless for him to take medicine. He should have come to the hospital directly from the beginning. ”
“I told him the same thing back then.” Assistant Yuan was helpless. After hesitating for a moment, he said honestly, “President Shen said that he was afraid to keep you waiting, and he was also afraid the snow would stop later. He said that he would take his medicine first and accompany you out for a walk. He would go to the hospital later.”
“I also thought that this medicine could at least last for a while. Who knew its effects wouldn’t last…”
If he had known, he would not have returned to the hotel.
Basically, as soon as he got out of the car and before he could enter the hotel, he heard the driver say that President Shen was sick.
He quickly called Miaomiao to come downstairs and the two of them rushed to the hospital.
“It’s all the chairman’s fault. He made things difficult for us. When President Shen didn’t drink, he said that he didn’t give him face. It looked as though he wanted to fight with us or something.”
“His birthday banquet is taking place tomorrow. Sigh.”
Miaomiao could not help but say, “From the looks of it, President Shen can’t go either.”
Assistant Yuan shrugged. “President Shen has already agreed. He definitely has to go.”
Beside him, Nan Ge lowered her head and remained silent.
At night, Nan Ge stayed by the bed and accompanied Shen Yanqing as he took his IV drip. The snow outside the window had been falling and a thick layer had accumulated, but she did not have the time to care. Her mood had long fallen to rock bottom..
