Chapter 189: 146 Apologized and was rebuffed, does the boss want to date my friend? (2 more updates)_2 The elder chuckled, "You're talking about that, huh...” "Yes." "Logically speaking, I should be the one apologizing on Wanwan's behalf. I heard she laid hands on Miss Zhuang that night." "She had it coming, it was my poor upbringing. Why are you still standing there? Apologize right now!" Zhuang Yan becanxious and angry when Zhuang Rao didn't move.

"I'm sorry." The voice was perfunctory and extremely reluctant.

Ever since the auction, Zhuang Rao had becthe laughingstock of Beijing. She had already found it hard to swallow this humiliation, and now she even had to cand apologize, which she was even more reluctant to do.

"I've received your apology. I'd like to rest now..." Although Tang Lao said this, Zhuang Yan could detect his dissatisfaction, but before he could say anything else, the elder spoke again.

"My legs are not great; I won't stand up to see you two out. Yunxian, please show them out." "The two of you, please." After leaving the hospital room, Zhuang Rao couldn't help but mutter a few words.

"We've already apologized. What more do they want? Even if it waswho provoked Tang Wan, I was hit too, and she hasn't suffered any loss!" "How dare you speak!" Zhuang Yan was furious, "Do you know whom you've offended?" "Are they just relying on the backing of the Jiang Family? Dad, what exactly are you afraid of? We've already humbled ourselves so much, and once inside, they didn't even offer us a glass of water or let us touch a chair, yet they put on quite the show!" "The Tang Family may be formidable, but the local snake cannot be crushed by a strong dragon; can they really extend their reach even here?" "Just sold fossil trying to take liberties..." Zhuang Rao hadn't finished her sentence when Zhuang Yan raised his hand and slapped her! With a slap, Zhuang Rao was completely stunned. She shakily touched her face as if it was on fire, "Dad?" "You still dare to spout nonsense. It's because you can't keep your mouth shut that we've ended up in so much trouble. Do you know how the whole of Beijing is talking about us? Do you understand how passive our family business has becand how many cold looks I have to endure when I step outside?" "When Jiang Lao publicly humiliated you, those who wanted to curry favor with the Jiang Family didn't dare speak another word to me." "Are you not satisfied unless the entire Zhuang Family is dragged down?" Zhuang Rao covered her face with her hand, clenching her teeth, "I apologized too!" "What was that apology? Reluctant and half-hearted. Do you think they couldn't hear it?" Zhuang Yan, overcwith anger, continued, "Lettell you, for the next few days, you are going to the hospital every day until the Tang Family forgives you. Only then can you cback home!" "Dad" Zhuang Rao panicked at hearing this! "Put yourself together. Even if they don't forgive you, everyone makes mistakes, but at least we've made an effort. If anyone brings this up again, and the Tang Family remains relentless, then they are the ones being unreasonable!" Zhuang Rao bit her lip. She was already reluctant to apologize, and having to go daily made her even more unwilling.

"Are you listening?" Zhuang Rao, her face covered, nodded, her heart filled with even more hatred for Tang Wan.

** After the Zhuang father and daughter left, the elder briefly discussed the matter with Tang Yunxian.

"To me, it's a minor friction, not worth parents coming over." "Call and check where Wanwan and the others are, to avoid running into them downstairs." The elder was not an unforgiving man, but he could tell that Zhuang Rao had not cto apologize sincerely.

He had accepted the apology but considering his granddaughter had been publicly humiliated, he wasn't the person involved and couldn't decide for Tang Wan, so he forgave them outright.

Tang Yunxian obliged, taking out his phone to make the call. By then, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang had already purchased things and returned to the hospital but had narrowly missed running into the Zhuang father and daughter by opting for different elevators.

"Did Uncle Tang call to hurry us?" Jiang Jinsang looked sideways towards the person beside him. Although they had taken a trip to the supermarket together, they hadn't talked much.

He thought he had overdone it last night, while Tang Wan felt too embarrassed to face him, convinced that she had disgracefully dreamt about him.

"Yes, he asked where we were!" As soon as the call ended, another cthrough. It was from Qi Zeyan, "Hello-Qi Zong." "Did I disturb you?" Qi Zeyan was in his office at the time.

"No, do you need something?" "It's about the project we're collaborating on. In the new year, we will soon start preparing on my end. I'll have someone from the company liaison with you. Just discuss any issues with them." "Okay." Producing a TV is a huge project, especially a historical , as building sets and creating sceneries are quite time-consuming.

"I heard that Mr. Tang has been hospitalized. Which hospital is he in? I'll visit him sometime." "No need, it's too much trouble..." While Tang Wan was on the phone, she didn't realize that a man who had been standing in the hallway, talking to a doctor, suddenly yelled fiercely and pushed the doctor away. "I'm telling you, if anything happens to my mom, I'll make sure this entire hospital suffers!" "Mr. Wang, please calm down. We have done our best for your mother's condition..." "What best? If anything happens to my mom, don't expect to get away with it!" "Mr. Wang..." "Get out-" The doctor nearly bumped into Tang Wan, but Jiang Jinsang protected her by pulling her aside and steadied the doctor by lifting his arm as a form of support.

"Thank you, sorry about that." The nurse also looked troubled.

Afterward, many people arrived, including Zhou Zhongqing and several chief physicians. It took multiple persuasions to calm down the family member's emotions.

After everyone had left, Zhou Zhongqing, seeing Jiang Jinsang and the others, followed them into the ward before he couldn't help but shake his head. Spatients are really difficult to manage nowadays. They don't trust us and don't want to spend money. They refuse to consent to surgery, and now the old lady is unwell, and they react by shouting and screaming. There's nothing we can do." "Can we only appease them?" Naturally, Mr. Tang could also hear the loud commotion outside.

"Now they say we are delaying the treatment and don't want to spend a penny. They want us to perform surgery on his mother. After all, the hospital is not a charity. I expect more trouble..." Zhou Zhongqing spoke with a tone of helplessness.

Hospitals experience life and death every day and encounter all kinds of people.

On the other hand, Qi Zeyan's call was abruptly cut off, seemingly due to sdispute on the other end. Once he understood the situation and realized it had nothing to do with Jiang Jinsang and the others, he didn't take it to heart and instead made another call to his assistant's office. Ruan Mengxi was currently slouched over her computer, grumbling as she worked.

She was new to administrative tasks and unfamiliar with everything, which already made her inefficient. When the phone rang, it nearly blew her mind as she tugged at her hair! This damn boss, what ridiculous plan is he concocting now! If there were a figurine with Qi Zeyan's nin front of her, she would have definitely stabbed it full of holes with a needle by now! But picking up the phone, she immediately smiled, "Hello-Mr. Qi, do you need something?" Her voice was squeezed to an utmost gentleness.

"Cover here." He hung up after saying that! Ruan Mengxi took a deep breath, stood up to tidy her hair and clothes, and left the office with a smile on her face.

When she arrived at Qi Zeyan's office, she still wore a bright expression, “Mr. Qi, do you have any plans?" "There's a project here that I need you to follow up and hand over." Qi Zeyan said as he tossed the documents in front of her. "Contact details and everything are inside. Take it back and have a look." "Okay."

Ruan Mengxi knew from her first day at work that anything her boss instructed was non-negotiable. She O took the materials back to her office and opened them, frowning slightly at the enormity of the project being handed over to her. But when she saw the nof the stuon the document, she was completely baffled... Others might not know the man behind this studio, but Ruan Mengxi knew all too clearly-it was Tang Wan's studio! Recalling the previous inquiries from her department head about whether she knew the Tang Family from Pingjiang and the subsequent series of events, her sudden job transfer that appeared to be a demotion in disguise, and Qi Zeyan's unusual behaviors, what more was there to misunderstand.

Her sleazy boss intended to use her connection to pursue her friend!
