"Alright then, Mr. Lin. I respect your decision."
The hospital director looked at Lin Xuan, his eyes filled with reluctance.
It was truly a pity that such a medical genius would not stay in the hospital to treat patients.
"However, Mr. Lin, the doors of Yundu First Central Hospital will always be open to you. If you ever want to perform surgery on anyone, our hospital will provide you with the resources."
He absolutely had to maintain a good relationship with a genius like Lin Xuan.
"Mhm, thanks, Director."
Lin Xuan greeted Nanny Zhao and left the hospital.
By the time Lin Xuan returned to Night Garden, it was already eight in the evening.
Su Hua was sitting on the living room sofa, waiting for him.
"Young Master Lin," the servants of Night Garden greeted him respectfully.
Lin Xuan asked, "Where is Hua?"
A servant replied, "She has been waiting for you in the living room. Oh, by the way, the young lady hasn't had dinner yet."
Lin Xuan glanced at the time.
His brows furrowed tightly.
He strode over. "Hua."
Su Hua had been sitting on the sofa resting with her eyes closed. Hearing Lin Xuan's name through her drowsy haze, she wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Xuan, you're back," Su Hua said coquettishly.
"Mhm."
Lin Xuan nodded. "Hua, why haven't you eaten dinner?"
"I wanted to wait for Xuan to come back so we could eat together. But Xuan didn't come back for a long time. While waiting, I kind of fell asleep, so I didn't get to eat," Su Hua said, pursing her lips, her voice sounding a little aggrieved.
Hearing Su Hua's words, a wave of guilt rose in Lin Xuan's heart.
He had originally promised to have dinner with Hua, but because of the matter with Nanny Zhao's daughter, he was delayed until now.
"Hua, from now on I will try my best to come back earlier to eat with you," Lin Xuan said.
"Okay." Su Hua's eyes curved into a smile. "Xuan must come back and eat with me from now on."
Come back every time from now on?
Lin Xuan frowned.
Is that what he said?
"Young Master Lin, Miss."
A servant walked out of the dining room. "The food has been heated up."
Lin Xuan held Su Hua's hand, and together they walked into the dining room.
Lin Xuan realized that Su Hua was sometimes extremely dependent on him.
He actually found this feeling quite nice...
Just like usual, Su Hua sat on Lin Xuan's lap, letting him feed her.
"Xuan," Su Hua asked, "do you have any plans for tomorrow?"
Lin Xuan's hand paused as he picked up some food.
Hua asking this... Could it be that she wanted him to stay at Night Garden and keep her company?
Lately, Jiang Yutong had been pestering him constantly. He could tell that Hua really disliked him having too much contact with Jiang Yutong.
He needed to accommodate Hua's wishes during this period.
Otherwise, if Hua got angry, he would be reduced to 'Lin Gan' again.
"I don't have any plans. I intend to stay at Night Garden and keep you company, Hua."
Su Hua's brows furrowed slightly.
"But I have work tomorrow. How about Xuan stays with me at Night Garden the day after tomorrow? Hasn't Xuan been busy with the microchip project lately? Why doesn't Xuan continue going to the university to work on it tomorrow?" Su Hua said.
Lin Xuan looked at Su Hua with a suspicious expression.
Why did he feel like Hua was acting a bit strange today?
Asking him to go to the university?
But hasn't Hua always liked it best when he stayed home to keep her company?
Even if she was too busy with work, she could just bring him to her office.
Lin Xuan had a premonition, feeling that something was waiting for him.
But it shouldn't be anything major. At most, Hua would just show off their affection in front of the students at Shangqing University, or perhaps drag him around the villa to...
However, since Hua was currently recuperating, she couldn't do that kind of thing yet, so she couldn't really do anything to him anyway.
"Alright, then I'll continue working on the microchip project at the university tomorrow. Hua, let me know when you're done with work, and I'll come find you," Lin Xuan said, nodding.
"Mhm."
Su Hua's eyes curved slightly.
Xuan could really be quite obedient sometimes.
The next day.
Jiang Yutong originally thought that Lin Xuan wouldn't go to Shangqing University today, so she didn't go to the laboratory.
She had bribed a student from Shangqing University, telling him to call her immediately if Lin Xuan came to the lab.
Jiangtong Company, conference room.
Jiang Yutong sat at the head of the table in the conference room.
She rested her chin on her hand, looking thoroughly bored.
Sigh.
It was already this late, and that Shangqing University student still hadn't contacted her. It seemed Little Xuan wasn't going to the lab again today.
She had heard that Little Xuan rarely went to Shangqing University in the past, perhaps not even three times a month.
It was only after he started working on the lithography machine and microchip projects that he began coming to the university frequently.
By the looks of it, had Little Xuan reverted to his old ways?
If he didn't leave the house and didn't go to the university, she had absolutely no way to pester him, let alone get him to acknowledge her as his older sister.
The company's senior executives could tell that Jiang Yutong was in a very bad mood.
A female executive who was relatively close to Jiang Yutong asked curiously, "President Jiang, what's wrong? Why do you look so depressed?"
"It's nothing."
Jiang Yutong shook her head. "I've just run into a headache-inducing matter."
She felt that managing a company wasn't nearly as difficult as getting her younger brother to acknowledge her.
Any other time, she would have given up long ago.
But when it came to a younger brother like Little Xuan, she truly wanted his acknowledgment.
No matter how hard it was, she wouldn't give up.
"Once it's resolved, I'll treat everyone to a meal," Jiang Yutong added.
Since the meeting hadn't started yet, the female executive raised an eyebrow and said, "President Jiang, could it be that you're troubled by relationship issues? I've had many boyfriends and have a lot of experience in relationships. Tell me about it; I might just have a way to help you solve it."
"It's not a relationship issue," Jiang Yutong sighed.
Not a relationship issue?
The female executive frowned deeply.
Work problems had never made President Jiang look so miserable. Other than relationship issues, she really couldn't think of anything else that would distress President Jiang so much.
Jiang Yutong glanced at the people sitting in the conference room and spoke, "Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
An executive said, "President Jiang, our products are selling like crazy. Every time they hit the shelves, they're immediately sold out. President Jiang, should we expand and add a few more production lines?"
Another executive stood up and objected, "That won't work. The main reason it's selling so well right now is because the product just blew up in popularity. The market will eventually saturate, and we won't be able to sell this many products. We've already expanded several production lines, and they are more than enough. I don't think we need to add any more."
Jiang Yutong said, "We'll do as Manager Wang suggested and set up more production lines. Our current factories aren't enough, so let's build two more. If that's still not enough, we'll add more later."
