    Chapter 40 Don’t you want to live?Senior patients at Pujiang Private Hospital…

    There was a gentle knock on the door of the special care unit on the 22nd floor of the high-rise ward of Pujiang Private Hospital.

    Jiang Lingfei held a handful of yellow sunflowers in her arms, with a few sprigs of white lisianthus dotted between the bouquets, and the petals were still covered with carefully maintained water vapor.

    Behind her, Tan Lou straightened his tie and followed quickly with a fruit basket. The sound of leather shoes hitting the ground was particularly clear in the quiet corridor.

    Wei Zhizheng was half-lying on the hospital bed. He looked much better. It was not as serious as Jiang Lingfei imagined, but his originally handsome face seemed to be slightly skewed, and the left corner of his mouth was weakly curled downwards.

    Wei Zhi looked very happy when he saw Jiang Lingfei and the others coming. He tried his best to smile. It could be seen that he was trying to smile like he usually did, but it was very difficult and he didn’t speak. He might have slurred speech when he spoke.

    Jiang Lingfei’s heart sank, and her previous thoughts of secretly speculating whether the other party was taking advantage of his illness to avoid trouble disappeared instantly, leaving only solid guilt.

    Tan Lou noticed Jiang Lingfei’s depression and took the lead in introducing himself: “Hello, Mr. Wei, I am Tan Lou, Jiang Lingfei’s colleague. I was transferred to Pujiang half a year ago to work with her. I have long heard of Mr. Wei’s reputation. Although we first met in the ward, it is still a great honor to meet you in person.”

    After saying a few words, he walked to Wei Zhi’s bedside and shook hands with him. Wei Zhi also shook hands with him with a smile.

    When the cold palms met the warm palms, Wei Zhi vaguely caught a trace of very faint pheromones even through the thin sleeves of the hospital gown.

    In this ward, in addition to Jiang Lingfei’s elegant orchid-scented Omega pheromone, there was also an unfamiliar Alpha scent, as light as a layer of mist.

    After introducing himself, Tan Lou skillfully opened up the topic and told anecdotes about his time working at the Omega Protection Association. He deliberately chose light-hearted passages and occasionally threw jokes at Jiang Lingfei.

    Jiang Lingfei yelled at him in cooperation, and the originally stagnant atmosphere in the ward gradually became lively.

    Wei Zhi leaned on the bedside and watched Tan Lou talking with great interest. Until he heard “I used pheromones to suppress the Omegas and Alphas who were mixed in the room at that time,” he raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his chin slightly towards Tan Lou.

    Just when Jiang Lingfei was still guessing what Wei Zhi meant, Tan Lou smiled softly: “Wei always wants to ask me what type of pheromone it is, right?”

    Wei Zhi’s eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

    “Like Mr. Wei, I also smell wine, but to others it may smell sweet, probably like Moscato.”

    This sentence is very subtle. Between two alphas, who has a higher pheromone level usually depends on the sensitivity to pheromones. Now Wei Zhi did not smell Tan Lou’s pheromones, but Tan Lou accurately said that his pheromones were wine-flavored.

    It seems to be saying that your pheromones are lower than mine.

    Wei Zhi still maintained a slightly weird smile and blinked to indicate that he understood.

    Secretary He couldn’t stand listening anymore. He thought these two people from the Omega Protection Association were good people, but he didn’t expect that they came to mock the boss for not having a high pheromone level!

    Especially that Tan Lou, who hides his sword in his smile, is a green tea man, and pretends to be dead!

    He received the look from Wei Zhi and took a step forward at the right time. His tone was polite but undeniably distant: “I’m sorry, the doctor told me that the visiting time should not exceed half an hour. The boss has accepted your wishes. Please come back.”

    Jiang Lingfei looked at her watch and saw that it was indeed over time. She also made an appointment with the person involved to take notes in the afternoon, so she pulled Tan Lou to stand up and leave.

    As soon as she stepped out of the elevator and reached the lobby on the first floor, she shook off Tan Lou’s wrist, her almond-shaped eyes widening: “Tan Lou, why did you get so crazy just now? Mr. Wei asked you about your pheromone type. To be honest, that’s all. Why do you have to add such a disrespectful sentence?”

    Tan Lou pushed her towards the door and said in a casual tone: “What’s the matter? He has been pestering you for so long before. Am I not helping you vent your anger?”

    “It’s my job to deal with the parties concerned. It’s not your turn to interfere.” Jiang Lingfei interrupted coldly, “I think you want to get some words from Wei Zhi, right?”

    “What does he have to do with me? What do I have to ask?” Tan Lou said and turned into the convenience store in front of the hospital. After a moment, he came out holding two sausages and handed one to Jiang Lingfei, “Here, do you want to eat?”

    “Don’t eat, you have to lose weight.”

    “It’s up to you.” Tan Lou held a piece of grilled sausage in one hand and walked forward while chewing it.

    Jiang Lingfei turned away and looked at the back of Tan Lou’s silver-gray head with a fine sheen in the sun, and her mood became more complicated.

    Her intuition from years of work told her that Tan Lou must have some ulterior secrets. His interest in Wei Zhi was too obvious. If Wei Zhi’s secretary hadn’t interrupted their communication just now, he would have wanted to continue talking.

    Jiang Lingfei hesitated in her heart, should she remind Tan Lou not to be deceived by Wei Zhi’s frail appearance? Anyone who can gain a foothold in the business world is not a ruthless character who has climbed out of the bloody storm.

    In the ward, Wei Zhi closed his eyes in disgust and listened to Secretary He’s report.

    “Boss, the news has been released, but there seems to be no movement there yet.”

    Wei Zhi’s eyelashes trembled, he slowly opened his eyes, and typed a string of words on his phone: “I can’t bear it anymore, keep a close eye.”

    Secretary He wrote down: “Okay, I will pass it on.”

    Wei Zhi nodded and saw Secretary He hesitated to speak, “What’s wrong?”, he gestured.

    “I followed your request and never contacted Xiao Cheng again… Can I still be friends with Xiao Cheng if we don’t talk about business?” He Rui didn’t want to lose Cheng Cheng as a friend. He was already very busy with work, stayed with Wei Zhi for a long time, and his personality was a bit cold, and he had few friends.

    Wei Zhi raised his eyelids and tapped his fingertips on the screen quickly: “Yes, but you must sign a confidentiality agreement. If you breach the contract, you will resign.”

    Wei Zhi is usually very kind to He Rui, and his salary is very high, but many capable people are eyeing He Rui’s position. Wei Zhi is kind to everyone who works seriously, and He Rui is no exception.

    He Rui was stunned. He had never thought about what his life would be like after he left this job. Since breaking up with his girlfriend, all that was left in his life was work.

    “…Okay, I won’t meet Xiao Cheng again.” He lowered his head, but secretly prayed in his heart that Cheng Cheng could come back soon and get back together with Wei Zhi.

    He didn’t want to lose his friends, and he didn’t want to lose his job.

    “Duk duk duk”, the nurse knocked on the door three times and said softly: “Mr. Wei, it’s time to inject the nutrient solution.”

    Wei Zhi waved his hand and asked He Rui to open the door. He turned his head to one side, and the uncontrollable irritability in his heart rose again.

    The nurse walked to the bedside and hung up the milky white nutritional solution skillfully: “Mr. Wei, would you like to try a nutritious meal at night?”

    Wei Zhi shook his head decisively.

    “Okay, then let’s do nasal feeding.”

    The nurse couldn’t help but glance at Wei Zhi’s delicate and pale profile, thinking that the famous star who was so famous back then was now lying here with his legs paralyzed and suffering from anorexia. He could only rely on nutrient solution to maintain his life. She couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

    Perhaps because the nurse’s gaze was too hot, Wei Zhi turned his head, opened his eyes quietly, and stared at her.

    The nurse was so shocked by that look that she almost stung the needle.There was no emotion in those eyes, they were hollow, numb, and cold, which made people shudder.

    Wei Zhi snorted in his heart. These stupid doctors and nurses would ask him every day if he wanted to eat nutritious meals. He didn’t need it at all. As long as he lived until the day when the Shengxing Group was trampled under his feet, that would be enough.

    .

    Ji Ziheng walked into the ward without knocking. Wei Zhi’s treatment had begun to show results. Instead of lying down, he was sitting in a wheelchair reading documents with a laptop on his lap.His back was turned to the setting sun, and his whole body was enveloped in a soft halo, as if it would float away at any time.

    He pursed his lips and coughed lightly: “Wei Zhi.”

    Wei Zhi raised his head from the book and smiled at him: “You’re here.” His voice was still a little incoherent, but he could speak normally.

    Ji Ziheng looked at him with a stern look: “Zhuang Qian said you made excuses to avoid rehabilitation yesterday? I just asked the doctor that you can exercise moderately now.”

    Wei Zhi looked back at the computer screen speechlessly: “Don’t meddle in other people’s business.”

    “What on earth do you want to do!” Ji Ziheng roared in a low voice, “Now you don’t do rehabilitation, you don’t eat, you just live on a little nutrient solution, you don’t get a good rest, and you look at your bad report all day long, don’t you want to live?”

    Wei Zhi looked at him coldly, his lenses reflecting a cold light for a moment: “Ji Ziheng, what qualifications do you have to judge me? Have you experienced everything I have experienced?”

    Ji Ziheng kicked the foot of the sofa next to him violently: “When you first became paralyzed, all of us thought you would never be able to get through this. Why don’t you still crawl back from hell? Now it’s just a small epilepsy, so why not! You can’t abandon all of us, your company, your employees, and your cheap wife?”

    Wei Zhi’s fingertips trembled, and his dark eyes were filled with emotions that Ji Ziheng couldn’t understand.

    “Have you gone to see the process?”

    “Yeah, haha…” Ji Ziheng sat down on the sofa and put his legs up, “I also told him about your recurrence of epilepsy, but it seems that he hasn’t come to see you yet.”

    Wei Zhi closed his eyes and said in a tight voice: “Have you told him about the divorce?”

    “Well, but he hasn’t contacted me yet, and I don’t know what he thinks…”

    “Then… did he react when he mentioned me?” Wei Zhi breathed a little lighter, clenched his fists, and filtered out Ji Ziheng’s unnutritious words.

    Ji Ziheng deliberately provoked him: “There was no special reaction. He also found a part-time job in a cake shop and was doing well. He also had a good relationship with the female store manager. He was smiling all day long.”

    Wei Zhi bit his lip and tasted a hint of fishy sweetness. He took off his glasses and his eyes were dull: “That’s good…”

    “What did you say?” Ji Ziheng didn’t hear clearly.

    “Nothing. Did Jiang Lingfei’s partner check it out? Is there any problem?” Wei Zhi closed the computer and put it on the table, then controlled the wheelchair to slide over.

    Ji Ziheng called up the information on his phone and sat up straight: “There is no problem at the moment.”

    “Tan Lou, twenty-eight years old, his parents were both botanists. He was killed in a car accident during a public event. It happened to be that he graduated from college at that time. He was probably too sad. After a year of silence, he joined the Omega Protection Association. He has been working at the Linzhou headquarters since then and was transferred to Pujiang half a year ago.”

    Wei Zhi flipped through the flawless information and tapped lightly on the screen with his fingertips: “How did he make a living without a job the year he graduated from college?”

    “At that time, his parents’ matter was a big deal, and the media publicized it overwhelmingly. In the end, Linjiang’s Botanical Research Center lost a total of more than 50 million yuan.” Ji Ziheng pondered, “But his parents signed an agreement with the research center at the time, saying that they voluntarily traveled on business, and the compensation would be up to 10 million yuan.”

    After Wei Zhi read the information, he said four words lightly: “Public opinion building.”

    Ji Ziheng nodded: “That’s true. Linzhou is the capital. This kind of news is not conducive to the national situation. It should be suppressed. If it can make the research center compromise, it is very likely that someone is behind it.”

    Wei Zhi returned the phone to him, and the wheelchair slowly slid back to the window.

    Ji Ziheng looked at his back. The setting sun stretched his shadow very long. No one knew what Wei Zhi was thinking at the moment. He only felt that there was an overwhelming undercurrent hidden in that back.

    The author has something to say: I wish you all a Merry Christmas in advance~ (Updates will be added on Christmas Day tomorrow). Usually updates are made every other day. Don’t panic if there is a situation of “updates, more breaks, more breaks”~ By the way, I am about to have my final exam, and I may stop updating for a week or two, and I will ask for leave in advance.

    Let me explain to the little cuties:

    Xiao Cheng loved Boss Wei very much. He left because he was still angry and was afraid, not of Boss Wei, but of the patients’ hysteria (mostly from his mother). He didn’t want Boss Wei to be tortured by the disease but could do nothing about it.In the past, when his mother was like this, he mostly chose to use escape to solve the problem, so at this point, he is also used to using familiar methods to solve the problem.

    Banxia novel, a lot of fun
