Chapter 19 Are You Hot?
Jiang Yunian put on a mask and walked in front of Chen Ji.

He had just tidied his clothes. His suit jacket was still dripping from its arm and his blue shirt was wrinkled.

Even though his leather shoes were polished to a shine and he was wearing a seven-figure watch, he still couldn’t hide his embarrassment.

“Sorry, I forgot that there’s a typhoon today and the hospital’s underground parking lot is closed. It’s too rainy to walk over to the ground parking lot, right?”

Jiang Yunian had a good attitude and guided Chen Ji to the rest area.

Chen Ji quickly followed him, “Hello, Mr. Jiang, everything is based on your convenience. Last time I wanted to talk to you about promoting new drugs, but I didn’t expect that you happened to be busy that day.”

Chen Ji stretched out his hand to shake hands with Jiang Yunian, but Jiang Yunian pretended not to notice. He put one hand behind his back and pointed at the sofa with the other hand. “Please sit down. I have an emergency duty today. Let’s talk here.”

Chen Ji awkwardly withdrew his hand, and a dry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “It’s okay, then let’s sit down and talk?”

As he said that, Chen Ji wanted to sit down on the sofa next to Jiang Yunian, but Jiang Yunian sat down first, blocking his way.

Chen Ji had no choice but to move to the opposite side quietly. He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but Mr. Jiang, who was rumored to be easy to get along with, seemed to be hostile to him.

“Mr. Chen, I value my friends very much.” Jiang Yunian suddenly spoke.

Chen Ji was delighted. “Mr. Jiang, I am the same as you. As the saying goes, the more friends you have, the easier it is to travel. If you come to Beijing to open up the market in the future, I will definitely lend you a helping hand.”

If Chen Ji could see Jiang Yunian’s expression, he would definitely see the mocking expression under his mask.

Chen Ji respectfully handed over his business plan, “Mr. Jiang, I know that the biological laboratory you invested in is currently conducting clinical trials. The new drugs we launch will be available in the international market in the future, so I really hope to cooperate with your laboratory and use them in the clinical projects of HKU…”

Jiang Yunian opened the report, flipped through a few pages, and casually mentioned, “I remember Associate Professor Li Shanming of Peking University also followed up on this project. Why didn’t you consider cooperating with Peking University?”

Chen Ji was somewhat surprised that Jiang Yunian was so familiar with the domestic environment. “To be honest, our family intends to list in Hong Kong, so we urgently need a new drug that can be marketed globally…”

Jiang Yunian closed the report and said, “Cooperation is not a problem, but I have a request.”

Chen Ji couldn’t hide his excitement and asked, “What is your request? Please tell me as soon as possible.”

“Associate Professor Li Shanming is said to have been caught up in a controversy recently. If Mr. Chen can help him resolve this matter, I think our cooperation will be smoother, because I may be able to work with Associate Professor Li Shanming in the future.”

Chen Ji’s family had some connections in Beijing, so he immediately patted his chest and replied, “This is a small matter, just leave it to me. I will first draft the details of the cooperation, and then come to visit you later.”

“Well, just make an appointment with my secretary later.”

Jiang Yunian stood up after he finished speaking, his eyes falling on Chen Ji’s tie clip.

This tie clip is exactly the same style as the one Lin Xian threw away, but it doesn’t suit Chen Ji at all.

“Nice tie clip, very nice looking.”

Jiang Yunian made a compliment without any context, and Chen Ji quickly replied, “It was given to me by a friend. If Mr. Jiang likes it, I’ll buy one for you later.”

Jiang Yunian did not respond. He thought of Lin Xian, who had come to give him a gift with great joy, but saw all that was going on. How desperate he must have felt.

“Mr. Chen, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation.” Jiang Yunian raised his eyebrows slightly, but his tone was very indifferent.

Chen Ji hurriedly went to meet him, “Mr. Jiang, please take care.”

After seeing Jiang Yunian off, Chen Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

He stayed in Hong Kong City and asked his family to buy him a house and a sports car, all for the purpose of establishing a relationship with the Jiang family.

This new drug collaboration is just a stepping stone. His ambition does not stop there. He wants to take his family company to the international market through the Jiang family.

Chen Ji looked at the hospital and was actually a little confused. Jiang Yunian’s family was so rich, why did he insist on becoming a surgeon instead of going back to manage the family business?

Never mind. Everyone has their own aspirations. He just hopes to achieve success successfully and not let his father down.
–
Lin Xian spent the whole morning in Jiang Yunian’s office getting familiar with the patient files, sorting them out according to her own habits, and setting up calendar reminders. When Jiang Yunian came back, the work was already more than half done.

Jiang Yunian looked at Lin Xian’s focused expression and walked more lightly.

She looked focused, with a few strands of hair around her ears sticking up uncontrollably, adding a bit of playfulness to her look.

“Lin Xian, I brought you some food, eat first.”

Lin Xian raised her eyes and said, “Thank you, Doctor Jiang. I’m not hungry yet. I’ll finish the rest first before eating.”

Jiang Yu took a step forward, pulled out the chair next to her and sat down, “I’m not a capitalist who mistreats his subordinates. The food will get cold soon.”

Jiang Yunian had a faint smell of disinfectant on his body. Lin Xian liked this smell very much and it made her feel at ease.

She closed her laptop and curled her lips towards Jiang Yunian, “Then I’ll go wash my hands first.”

When Lin Xian came back, Jiang Yunian had already prepared two meals.

This feeling was amazing. Lin Xian was actually having a second meal with someone she had only known for less than three days.

She sat next to Jiang Yunian, her heartbeat unconsciously quickened, pounding wildly in her chest.

“Doctor Jiang, are you hot? I just felt cold, so I turned up the temperature.”

Jiang Yunian raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were deep, “It’s okay, I can take off my white coat.”

Jiang Yunian took off his white coat and hung it on the hanger, leaving only a gray striped shirt underneath.

He rolled up his sleeves, casually rolling them up to his forearms, and sat back next to Lin Xian.

The smell of disinfectant dissipated, and Lin Xian smelled the faint scent of cedar coming from him again.

There were computers and books on one side of the desk, so they both had to sit on the same side to eat.

Lin Xian subconsciously moved to the side, fearing that she would accidentally touch Jiang Yunian’s arm.

Jiang Yunian took in all her little movements and ate his meal in silence.

The air suddenly fell into an eerie silence, so quiet that Lin Xian’s scalp tensed up.

Why did Jiang Yunian eat without making any noise? Why was she originally very cold but now so hot?

Lin Xian chewed the rice in small sips, a fine layer of sweat seeping out of her forehead. She carefully took out a tissue and wiped the sweat off her face silently.

Jiang Yunian suddenly turned to look at her, “Are you hot?”

Lin Xian made up an excuse, “No, this dish is too spicy.”

Jiang Yunian suddenly stood up and said, “I’ll go get you a glass of water.”

“No, no need.”

Lin Xian just felt as if she had lost her language ability and didn’t know how to organize her words.

He glanced at Jiang Yunian out of the corner of his eye. He was just turning up the air volume on the air conditioner.

Jiang Yunian looked back and his eyes met hers in the air.

When their eyes met, Jiang Yunian smiled at her and said, “How are you? Do you feel better now?”
