Chapter 329: 328: Changes in the Wind and Clouds (1) Ji Baijian’s Heart Disease Relapses? (Third update)
Translator: 549690339
The news about Ji Baijian’s illness was spread explosively in Jin City in an instant.
Yin Qin sat next to Ji Baijian’s bed, watching him lying there, leisurely and carefree.
Where does this guy look like he’s got a heart condition?
He even specifically invited two reporters, interviewed his chief doctor Yan Jin, and then Yan Jin said Ji Baijian was critically ill, on the brink of death!
Now, Jin city is in an uproar.
Everyone thought Ji Baijian was going to die.
Ji Baijian did not look like he was about to die.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Ji Fox, what kind of game are you playing this time?”
Ji Baijian glanced at Yin Qin, “Even if I tell you, you would not understand.”
“If you don’t tell me, I will understand less.” Yin Qin persisted.
“So why waste your breath.”
“…” How stupid does he look in Ji Baijian’s mind?
Yin Qin got a bit angry.
A thought suddenly occurred to him, “Is it because Song Zhizhi has been gone for too long in Nanyun, so you made this play to get her back?”
“Do you think I am as childish as you?” Ji Baijian was speechless.
“Ji Baijian!”
Ji Baijian said, “Someone is planning to move against me.”
Yin Qin froze.
This guy, all of a sudden told him.
Yin Qin looked at Ji Baijian.
“Actually, for some time now, there has always been someone watching me from behind, looking for my flaws. That’s why I’ve been sticking around in Jihong Group, fearing any slip-ups that could be used against me. The project between Jihong Group and Kostal Company, which was initially unknown, now they suddenly want to collaborate with us. There must be something fishy about it. Even though I don’t know what it is yet, I am very clear that once I find out the truth it might be too late, so I flat-out rejected them.”
“You rejected it, so why pretend to be sick?” Yin Qin still didn’t understand.
So sometimes Ji Baijian really didn’t want to hide something from Yin Qin, but it was too exhausting to explain.
Ji Baijian sighed slowly, “This project has been actively pursued by our Jihong Group, and now they have agreed to collaborate with us. If I directly refuse without reason, do you think Jihong Group can have better development in the future?”
“So you pretended to be sick. Due to the person in charge having a serious issue and not being able to continue the collaboration, it is completely unrelated to any subjective reasons, so your Jihong Group can also save face. What’s more, because your Jihong Group didn’t want to delay their project progress, and actively gave up, you can also make them feel your sincerity, and get a better reputation in the market. Moreover, the one who wants to collaborate with you this time is a large international corporation, through this project accident, enterprises all over the world will know that Jihong Group will not commit actions that harm others for profit. In the future, Jihong Group will also have better development prospects internationally!”
Ji Baijian nodded.
Yin Qin was not too stupid after all.
At that moment, Yin Qin seemed to be encouraged, and said, “Ji Baijian, all the people in the world are meticulously calculated by you, aren’t you afraid that the sky will strike you with lightning?”
There were sometimes when Ji Baijian really has nothing to say to Yin Qin.
At that moment, Yin Qin did not care at all, “Ji Baijian, do you know that the heavens are jealous of outstanding talents!”
Ji Baijian’s expression darkened.
“I’m not cursing you to have a short life.” Yin Qin said with a well-intentioned expression, “I just think it’s a pity if you die.”
“I’m not going to die.” Ji Baijian said irritably, “If there’s nothing else you don’t have to keep me company, go do your own things.”
“I don’t have anything else to do.” Yin Qin picked up an apple from the side and immediately started eating it without washing or peeling it.
“Is everything fine in the Milky Way?”
“Not really, I feel like Weng Cheng is about to make his move any time.”
“And yet you seem quite calm.”
“I’m not as smart as you, I don’t know what Weng Cheng is going to do. Besides, I think my dad, who has been fighting in the market for so many years, won’t be easily defeated by a Weng Cheng. So I think The Milky Way should be safe until my dad dies. And my dad says that he’s taking care of himself by drinking soup, so living to 100 shouldn’t be a problem.”
So he can still be pretty idle.
“I’m not worried about a single Weng Cheng, I also think your dad can handle it, so even though many times I let you go to work, it’s just to let you adjust to the rhythm of work, which will help you in the future. But now, I’m a bit worried that there’s someone behind Weng Cheng.”
“Who?” Yin Qin was surprised, “Who could he have? His mother? But my aunt is indeed not an easy one, she brought back Lin Ximeng, who is my dad’s first love, and keeps showing up in front of my dad, trying to hook him in. I’m really afraid my this old man, under the circumstances where my mom is completely indifferent to him, will really fall for her.”
Ji Baijian shook his head.
Yin Qin’s father had his own judgment, and he was not worried that he would do something that would harm the company’s interests.
He just felt that Ye Wenhan’s succession was nearly a year ago, and this year had been too peaceful.
Winning over the Consortium Group was something Ye Wenhan had to do after ascension, second only to reeling in the four chiefs!
As for the four chiefs, they all kept a low profile trying to protect themselves – an unspoken agreement which smothered potential conflict.
Additionally, winning over three Consortium Group became the top priority.
However, given the current situation, none of the three major consortiums seemed to be bendable by him.
With Xin Group, Ye Wenhan knew Xin Zaozao and Song Zhizhi had a deep relationship.
As for Yin He Systems, obviously Yin Qin was his best buddy, which was common knowledge in Jin City.
And as for Jihong Group, it was even more unlikely – under his jurisdiction, Ye Wenhan could only suppress, not reel in.
Therefore, Ye Wenhan obviously wouldn’t just sit and wait for his doom.
Being unable to win over the main representatives of the three groups doesn’t mean he can’t resort to a flank attack.
With Qian Guanshu’s ability to stay hidden for so many years, he is capable of coming up with these underhanded tactics.
However, at that moment, Ji Baijian didn’t say anything to Yin Qin because he didn’t have any direct evidence.
He said, “Anyway, be careful.”
Yin Qin nodded his head.
The two of them talked for a while longer.
Yin Qin began to find the conversation dull, so he left Ji Baijian’s sickroom.
He suddenly felt that, apart from enjoying all the aforementioned benefits, Ji Baijian could also shamelessly skip work.
Damn.
How could Ji Baijian be so capable?!
He walked into the hospital’s lobby, heading towards the parking garage.
He had only taken a few steps.
His footsteps suddenly faltered.
A vaguely familiar figure passed by him.
He whirled around, staring at that retreating figure in the crowd.
Without a second thought, Yin Qin rushed after the figure.
Because he was in a hurry, he bumped into another person.
Yin Qin was a bit hurt in the collision, his line of sight was blocked. He scowled, when he looked up again the familiar figure had disappeared.
Had he imagined it?!
Dammit, Luo Xiaolang.
Dare you to let me catch you!
Jinghe Village.
The village six months ago and the village now, had undergone a complete transformation.
Where this place used to be closed off and xenophobic.
Now, it had apparently become a popular tourist destination.
The number of people coming here wasn’t high, but it had reached a reasonable expectation.
Even the locally brewed rice wine had become world-famous, exported internationally. The economic condition of the locals had drastically improved, several-fold in fact. Healthcare, education, and transportation facilities had been implemented for every single individual. A village that was once backwards had now become a model for the Nanyun District and even became an important source of income for the Nanyun District’s government. This also improved the economy in the surrounding areas of Nanyun District.
Indeed, the transformation of the Jinghe Village was unprecedentedly successful, earning universal acclaim from the public! Jun Mingyu and Song Zhizhi were both lavishly complimented.
Song Zhizhi thought, perhaps half a year had passed, and it was time to go back.
Although, in the past six months, she’d occasionally visited her family, and Ji Baijian would also find time to come and see her amidst his busy schedule.
But in reality, opportunities were scarce.
In fact, the couple spent less than 10 days together.
The more she thought, the sadder she felt.
And just when she was planning to suggest returning to Jun Mingyu, she saw the news about Ji Baijian.
It said his heart disease had relapsed!
She simply couldn’t believe her eyes!
