Can't Take My Eyes Off You

C 250-251

Although the use of telecommunication and the internet were not that advanced at that time, the rumors were still spreading pervasively.

Jiang Yao had not left the school for two days in a row but the discussion on the news about Shengqi Hospital closing down was heard everywhere in the school.

If it were not for the spreading of rumors this time, Jiang Yao would not have known that Shengqi Hospital mattered that much to the Faculty of Medicine. Everyone was concerned about the future development of Shengqi Hospital.

In the end, the rumors evolved on their own. Someone even assumed that the new shareholder of Shengqi Hospital was a big bully. He even forced the female nurses and doctors to sleep with him, and that caused the collective resignation of doctors and nurses of the hospital. That particular rumor was probably too powerful and convincing, a lot of people actually assumed that it was the truth.

Later in the dorm, Jiang Yao heard Wen Xuehui, Zhou Xiaoxia and the others criticizing the new shareholder of Shengqi Hospital. They were saying that the new shareholder was inhumane and other things along those lines but she could not say anything to defend herself.

Who on Earth would she bully? Even if she wanted to be a big bully, she needed some tools at the very least!

It would still be fine if they accused her of hitting on men but why the hell would she hook up with women?

Moreover, she already owned the best man on Earth who was Lu Xingzhi. Why would she try to hit on other men?

However, it was fine if she did not think about Lu Xingzhi. Once she mentioned Lu Xingzhi, her blood started to boil.

After she gave Lu Xingzhi a call that day, she had not been able to reach Lu Xingzhi ever since. Everytime Jiang Yao tried to contact him, his phone would be shut off and Lu Xingzhi had never contacted her as well.

Two days had passed and Jiang Yao was very worried. Since the rumors had been spreading like wildfire, it was time for her to do something.

Obviously, she needed some financial help from her man in order to execute her plan.

While being unable to contact Lu Xingzhi, Jiang Yao was not just worried about the money, Lu Xingzhi was the one she worried about the most. She was afraid that something might have happened to him and that it was the reason why she could not contact him.

On Thursday night, Jiang Yao once again could not contact Lu Xingzhi and decided to give Weiqi a call.

"Weiqi, have you been able to contact your third brother these few days? His phone is shut off every time I try to call him." The longer she lost contact with him, the more worried Jiang Yao was.

Weiqi could tell that Jiang Yao was worried so he laughed. He explained immediately, "Jiang Yao, Xingzhi is already a grown up, what is there to be worried about? He has urgent missions quite often and he can't bring his phone with him when he's out for a mission. His phone was shut off too when I tried to call him yesterday. Then, I gave his platoon a call and they informed me that Xingzhi has been out for duty since two days ago. They can't tell when he will be back either."

"Out for a mission? Urgent mission? What mission? Is it dangerous?" Jiang Yao asked subconsciously once she heard that he was out for a mission. She did not know anything about the things that happened in Lu Xingzhi's platoon because she did not care much about Lu Xingzhi before she was reborn. Therefore, she had no idea about the details of Lu Xingzhi's missions.

"Jiang Yao, how would I be able to know about the missions of the platoon? However, people as outstanding as Xingzhi will definitely be alright, don't worry. When Xingzhi comes back, he will contact you immediately for sure. Just focus on your classes and don't worry about him."

Jiang Yao thanked Weiqi and continued to chat with him for awhile. However, she could not help but sigh. Although she knew that Lu Xingzhi was adept, he was still her husband. Her husband went out for an urgent mission but he did not even have the time to inform her. She would be a cruel and heartless wife if she did not worry about him.

Initially, Jiang Yao wanted to ask Weiqi if he could lend her some money, but she eventually swallowed the words back into her stomach.

She remembered Lu Xingzhi mentioning the extraordinary situation of the Zhou family. Last time, Weiqi even had to ask for Lu Xingzhi's help because he did not have a place to stay. Therefore, Weiqi should not be able to take so much money out in one-shot. Even if she asked him, it would only trouble Weiqi.

Jiang Yao sighed. After all her hard work, it seemed like she could only give up on the shares. She did not even know who Mr. Qin would sell his shares to if she did not buy them from him. She would really have a headache if another big shot were to appear.

Initially, Jiang Yao was planning to take leave on Friday to purchase the shares. She did not expect that her plans would fail.

Although she felt that it was a pity, it could not be avoided. Jiang Yao felt downhearted because all her hard work had gone down the drain, as it ended up benefiting others. Therefore, Jiang Yao did not sleep a wink that night, and she spent all her time on her studies. Also, she was contemplating when she should bring Moe to earn some money or go for treasure hunts.

She learnt a lesson: we should always rely on ourselves. Once we have money in our hands, no plans would ever go down the drain again.

Due to the financial issues, there was a sudden change in plans. Once Jiang Yao woke up on Friday morning, she gave Manager Sun a call and informed him about not buying Mr. Qin's shares.

Manager Sun heard the news and he was really shocked. After all, Jiang Yao had been waiting for the opportunity for so long and she just decided to call off everything. It still seemed weird so Manager Sun asked her for an explanation.

"Because I don't have money! I can't take money out at the moment!" Jiang Yao was also the most truthful employer in the world. She was depressed once she mentioned money. "About the thing that I left at your place, just ask around and sell it when you have the time."

After Jiang Yao ended the call, Jiang Yao went for her classes. She was an optimistic lady. Since she could not get enough money to buy Mr. Qin's shares, she did not think about that again. During their break, she even asked Wen Xuehui out on the weekend.

The weather was turning cold at that time. Jiang Yao reminded Wen Xuehui to bring along a thin jacket when they were going out on the weekend. There was a huge temperature difference between the day and night in the countryside and it was going to be chilly.

When they were talking, someone came to the classroom to look for Jiang Yao. Jiang Yao could recognise the man with only a single glance, he was Huang Chengjing's personal assistant.

"Is Mr. Huang looking for me?" Jiang Yao found it weird because Huang Chengjing could have just contacted her on the phone if he needed her for anything.

The assistant smiled at Jiang Yao and said, "Mr. Huang ordered me to pass this to Miss. Jiang,"

Jiang Yao took over the kraft paper bag from Huang Chengjing's assistant's hands. She did not rush to open it either as she thought that it was something for her to eat and thanked him.

Jiang Yao only opened the paper bag casually after she had returned to her seat. She gave it a gentle shake and a booklet came out from it. She picked it up and had a look. To her surprise, it was a passbook and there was a note in it. There was only a short and simple sentence on the note but it looked flamboyant and chic.

After reading the message on the note, Jiang Yao opened the passbook with a big smile on her face and her smile grew bigger as she continued to count the number of zeros on the book.

"Xuehui, I have some urgent stuff to do and I need to go out for a while. Take leave for me." Jiang Yao put away the passbook. She hastily told Wen Xuehui that after she dragged her out of her conversation with their classmate beside her. She then zoomed out of the classroom without any hesitation.

Jiang Yao did not even return to her room. She gave a call to Manager Sun straightaway and said, "The plan is still on! I will transfer the money to your bank account right now!"

Manager Sun listened to the busy beeps from the phone and did not know whether he should laugh or cry. His life was going to be tough one if he had an employer who spoke and did things at such a swift pace like her.
