Dong dong dong!
A knock echoed.
Then, Zheng Ke's voice came from outside, "Miss, Secretary Zhou is here."
Zheng Yue seized the opportunity to break free from Lin Fan's entanglement and said irritably, "I told you it wasn't appropriate long ago."
She rolled her eyes charmingly.
"Alas!" Lin Fan drooped his head.
"Alright, I'll compensate you next time."
Zheng Yue, a mix of anger and amusement, pecked Lin Fan on the cheek, then tidied her clothes and walked out of the secret room.
Zheng Ke led the way, while Lin Fan and Zheng Yue followed hand in hand, chatting and laughing.
"Peng Yuanqiao, tell me what you're thinking."
"Are you tired of living?"
Before the three of them even reached the office, they heard angry roars coming from inside.
Bang bang bang!
Zhou Weiguo slammed the table heavily, saying in exasperation, "I think you've got the guts of a bear and are living too comfortably!"
Peng Yuanqiao cowered, his voice trembling, "Secretary Zhou, it was truly a misunderstanding. As a small businessman, how could I dare cause trouble?"
"Yuanqiao Real Estate's success today is thanks to the county's strong support. I keep this kindness in my heart and am eager to repay it, so how could I dare to bother you?"
Zhou Weiguo snorted, "Qiu Zhengzhi, lift your head!"
Qiu Zhengzhi slowly raised his head, but dared not meet Zhou Weiguo's icy gaze.
"I know you, what was your nickname again?"
Zhou Weiguo had found this person familiar earlier, and now seeing his face clearly, he finally remembered.
"I don't have a nickname."
Qiu Zhengzhi no longer dared to act arrogant, feigning an honest demeanor, "I am just an ordinary employee of Yuanqiao Real Estate."
As Zhou Weiguo was struggling to recall his nickname, a playful voice came from the doorway.
"Aren't you the renowned Da Zhi? You just told me to inquire about your reputation."
Lin Fan walked into the office, smiling as he greeted, "Uncle Zhou."
"Xiao Fan, you're here too."
Zhou Weiguo smiled, unsurprised.
Borun Pharmaceutical already had Lin Fan's shares, and he was one of the major shareholders. His presence here was not strange.
"Yes, Da Zhi."
Zhou Weiguo turned his attention back to Qiu Zhengzhi.
"Your reputation is quite loud, even I have heard of it. Peng Yuanqiao, what are you doing associating with someone as notorious as this?"
"Secretary Zhou, I..."
Peng Yuanqiao was left speechless.
"Miss Zheng, today, in front of you, I will give you an explanation."
Zhou Weiguo pointed at Peng Yuanqiao and Qiu Zhengzhi, "You two come with me. This matter will not be dropped until it is thoroughly investigated."
"Secretary Zhou, it really has nothing to do with me!"
"Just because my name is Da Zhi, you want to arrest me? You're too overbearing!"
Peng Yuanqiao and Qiu Zhengzhi had different attitudes.
"I'm overbearing?"
"Fine, I'll show you how overbearing I can be!"
Zhou Weiguo hardened his resolve. If the county could take down Li Si, it could take down you, Da Zhi!
You are running into the muzzle of a gun; even an immortal cannot save you!
"Guards, take them both back."
At Zhou Weiguo's command, plainclothes officers who had been waiting outside rushed in.
When the gleaming handcuffs appeared, Peng Yuanqiao's face changed dramatically, looking worse than if he had eaten feces.
"Secretary Zhou, this has nothing to do with me. He insisted on coming, I didn't do anything!"
At this point, he no longer cared about his camaraderie with Qiu Zhengzhi.
"That's right, I did it. Let's see what you can do to me!" Qiu Zhengzhi lost his temper and shouted.
Zhou Weiguo glanced at him coldly, saying nothing.
Lin Fan understood, this guy probably wouldn't make it through the year.
...
Leaving Borun Pharmaceutical, Lin Fan took Zheng Yue's Bentley home.
Zhou Weiguo insisted on hosting a banquet for Zheng Yue to apologize and made a military pledge not to let anyone interfere with Borun Pharmaceutical's development.
Lin Fan could tell that Zheng Yue also had things to discuss with Zhou Weiguo.
He disliked such business social events and used the excuse of having matters to attend to at home to leave first.
"Finally, one worry is resolved."
Lin Fan felt a sense of emotion.
Li Si had fallen, and Xinghe Real Estate was facing operating difficulties.
The arrogant Da Zhi was about to follow Li Si's footsteps, like a withered flower yesterday, facing his end.
The world changes so fast!
The real estate industry, where even a fool could make money, was now in decline.
He returned home, and it was past four in the afternoon.
Five people were waiting at the entrance of the clinic, all patients with acute illnesses.
Even though Lin Fan was not home, they had no intention of going to a major hospital.
Although Lin Fan was young, his medical skills were exceptionally high, and his fees were low and reasonable. They were willing to wait for days.
"Are you here to see a doctor?"
Lin Fan noticed they had been staring behind him, and he looked back.
The Bentley was expelling smoke as it drove out of the village.
"Oh, I went out to see a patient. I'm sorry, I kept you all waiting." Lin Fan said, taking out his keys to open the door.
"It's no trouble, Divine Doctor Lin. It's our great fortune that you can see us poor folks."
"Yes, if I may speak frankly, Divine Doctor Lin, if you went to the city, you would have become rich long ago!"
"Divine Doctor Lin, you are a good person!"
The crowd felt very guilty and expressed their heartfelt emotions.
Lin Fan clearly had a clear path ahead of him, where fame and fortune could be easily obtained by simply stepping onto it.
Yet, for the sake of his villagers, he had given up wealth and status, choosing to live in a remote rural area, and it seemed he had no intention of leaving.
What is the heart of a physician?
What is altruism?
It is people like him!
Lin Fan smiled slightly, "I run a clinic, and you are patients. It is only natural for me to treat you."
"By the way, I'm not sure which month I'll get married this year. Everyone should come and join the celebration then."
The crowd was extremely surprised.
"Divine Doctor Lin, you have a partner?"
"My niece is about to graduate from college. I was thinking of introducing her to you. It's not boasting, but my niece is very beautiful!"
"Divine Doctor Lin, which young lady has caught your eye?" an old lady asked curiously.
"I won't tell you now. You'll know when the time comes."
Lin Fan's face was full of a bright smile, thinking, I hope they don't say bad things about me when they find out I'm marrying Xia Xue.
"Good, good, good, Divine Doctor Lin, we'll be waiting to drink your wedding wine."
"I dare to bet that when you, Divine Doctor Lin, hold your wedding, people from ten villages around will come. I'm afraid Luofeng Village will be too small for them to find a place to stand!"
"Divine Doctor Lin, you are truly a great benefactor to the region. When we say we are from Luofeng Village, people look at us with higher regard!"
Everyone realized that Lin Fan's wedding would be a major news event throughout Shimeng Town, and congratulations poured in endlessly.
