"Sister Wang, Su Jiaonang is here." At that moment, personal guard Feng Sanmang pushed open the door and walked in, reporting: "He specifically asked to see Miss Xu."
"Oh? What is he here for?" Sister Wang was slightly taken aback, then said: "All right, I'll go out and see him!"
In truth, Sister Wang still harbored a sliver of hope, praying that Zhao Qibing would have a change of heart - that he would not insist on those improper demands and would simply take some money to help treat Xu Shilan! For with Zhao Qibing's conditions, Xu Shilan would absolutely never agree. In that case, the most likely outcome for Zhao Qibing would be to lose both the person and his money!
But in fact, Zhao Qibing had never once considered losing both person and money. He had sent Su Jiaonang here precisely to coerce Xu Shilan! He was growing impatient with the waiting. So much time had passed already, and Xu Shilan still hadn't come to his door to beg for treatment. This made Zhao Qibing itch with frustration - such a ravishing beauty, unable to hold her in his arms, and Zhao Qibing was unwilling to accept that!
So, unable to wait any longer, he sent Su Jiaonang to ask Xu Shilan whether she wanted treatment or not. If she didn't, there would be no more chances after this!
"President Su, what brings you here at this hour?" Sister Wang arrived at the reception room and found Su Jiaonang. Though she still harbored some resentment over Zhao Qibing's earlier words, her manner at this moment betrayed not a trace of impropriety.
"Manager Wang, the purpose of my visit this time is something you should understand without my having to say it!" Su Jiaonang smiled faintly, dispensed with any beating around the bush, and spoke directly and to the point: "Young Master Bing asked me to convey a single question to Miss Xu - will her illness be treated, or will it not? Bear in mind, Young Master Bing's patience is limited!"
"President Su, of course we want to treat the illness, but Young Master Bing's conditions - I'm afraid we cannot comply! If money is needed, by all means name your price. Even if we have to sell every last possession, we'll scrape together the sum. But if Young Master Zhao continues to put forward those unrealistic conditions, then I'm afraid it's simply a pity!" Sister Wang said.
"Manager Wang, is that your position or Miss Xu's? In other words, there's no room for negotiation on this matter?" Su Jiaonang's face darkened as he asked.
"No room for negotiation!" Sister Wang said with absolute finality: "My position is Miss Xu's position!"
"In that case, I shall go back and report. However, Young Master Bing also said that if Miss Xu insists on refusing, then any discussion of treatment is off the table from now on. You have no room to negotiate, and neither do we!" Su Jiaonang said coolly: "I'd advise you to think carefully, Manager Wang."
"I won't see you out!" Sister Wang was beside herself with anger. Zhao Qibing truly was a lecher - refusing to earn money, yet insisting on trying to take his liberties! But Xiao Han was no ordinary celebrity; she would never agree to such an outrageous demand!
There was essentially no room left for compromise on this matter, so Sister Wang did not mind offending Su Jiaonang.
After seeing Su Jiaonang off, Sister Wang could not help but sigh. It seemed this attempt to seek medical help had ended in complete failure. If Xiao Han were an ordinary person, or if her looks weren't so extraordinary, perhaps throwing some money at the problem would have sufficed. But...
Sister Wang shook her head and returned to the preparation room. Xu Shilan was having her makeup done, while Feng Sanmang sat off to the side, his face expressionless.
