Chapter One Hundred and Nine: I Hope That Next Year, I Can Say ‘Happy New Year’ To You Too (2/2)
It was a rare luxury, yet it did not make Chu Ge happy at all.
After enduring for so many years, he could handle the hospital, and his finances were stable. However, his soulless body had finally reached its limit.
“I hope that next year, I can say ‘happy new year’ to you too.”
“Even if it’s just standing outside to say it.”
……
The way that YL functioned at the end of this year was very obnoxious. Year-end bonuses with astronomical figures and the extended holiday made YL’s mysterious employee benefits create another wave of storms in the industry.
YL had indeed done very well in that one year. The outstanding amount of profits were obvious, and the year-end bonus could still be explained because of that. Although their counterparts were jealous, they were helpless. However, regarding the holidays brought forward, it simply made them envious, jealous, and resentful yet puzzled.
YL had hit the headlines three times in that short period of six months. Shouldn’t they be stuck in an extremely busy period where they could not even finish going through their documents? Who was the one who said that with great power comes great responsibility? Where was the ‘no holiday for the design industry’? And where were the drafts that always needed to be edited and the clients that could never be appeased?
While the industry was at a loss, YL gleefully started their holiday – three days earlier than the official holiday period.
Three days may not seem like a lot, but in this period where the bustling industry was not doing well, that really was a luxury.
When Yan Jin held the general shareholders’ meeting, there was almost no one left in the company. The only remaining people were the handful of cleaners who were doing their last checks and would be leaving right after they finished.
As the person who was the last to leave last night, Yan Jin was responsible and diligent to his company; a person whose story had rendered every listener with teary eyes.
And yet there were many who could not understand him and spouted nonsense.
For example, Xiao Yu.
“Squeakkkkkk!!” Why was your meeting so long? How did you delegate your work? As the chairman, if everything needs to be overseen by you, that means you’re not competent enough!”
“I…” Chairman Yan sank deeply into self doubt.
After the shareholders’ meeting, Yan Jin was in great mood. This time, not only were some people willing to transfer their shares to him, some were even willing to outright show their support for him.
Thankfully, Chairman Yan’s memory was not bad. After some quick thinking, he promptly recalled that Chu Ge had mentioned the shareholders and even offered to undertake the task of settling those troubles for him.
From a certain perspective, Chu Ge really did settle a big issue for him.
As a payback, he would treat Chu Ge to a meal. Like a home-cooked meal.
Yan Jin did not feel that such remuneration was kind of belittling Chu Ge’s hard work. No matter what, the doctor was still considered a businessman. His current identity was simply so convenient that even the insiders did not know that the doctor had long chosen to stand by his side. They only knew that he was a celebrity doctor and was naturally less off guard when they talked to him.
That was Chu Ge after all. Never would they expect that after a random consultation and some simple probing, the doctor would investigate them in the next moment after the medical reports had been written. Be it entrepreneurs who came for consultations for sexually transmitted disease even though they had a wife, or second-generations of wealthy families who brought their mistresses for abortions, every secret affair that they had was all thoroughly investigated, and Chu Ge had sent the information back to them with the contact number that they had given him.
Although it was impossible for all of YL’s shareholders to have problems, and not all of them had consulted Chu Ge before, as long as he was able to get a hold of a few big shots, the problems could be considered completely resolved.
No wonder Chu Ge would dare to say that he could resolve the problem after flipping through the shareholders’ details. He probably recognized some of them from the photos that were attached to the dossier.
“Squeakk!” How dare you daze out!
Xiao Yu was very angry. So angry that his fur was standing on end.
“Someone was looking for me after the meeting…… I won’t do it ever again. Half an hour will only be half an hour.” Yan Jin quickly promised.
“Squeakk?” Then what about this time?
Yan Jin pondered seriously for a long time before he suggested: “Could you let me off this time since it’s a new year?”
“Squeak.” Hn.
“Fishy, happy new year.” Yan Jin blinked his eyes as he attempted to use his non-existent cuteness to buy his way through.
“Squeakk.” Fine. I’ll forgive you this time.
Surprisingly, Xiao Yu bought it.
He revealed a helpless expression as if there was really nothing he could do to Yan Jin.
The adorable little face showing such an expression was like a live demonstration to Yan Jin on how to act cute correctly.
“Squeakk.” Happy new year, Yan Jin.
“Thank you.” Yan Jin was torn between melting from cuteness or from being too touched.
He felt like he had sunk into a mysterious blissfulness that he could not free himself from.
“Squeak.”
“What?” Yan Jin did not catch it.
“Squeakk.” Nothing. You’re not paying attention.
Xiao Yu puffed his cheeks, feeling slightly angry.
……
I hope that next year, I can say ‘happy new year’ to you too.
As well as for all the years to come.
