When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Deep Schemes!

Chen Cang looked at Wang Zhi with a puzzled face, “Manager Wang, where should I… pay the money?”

Wang Zhi was momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered and replied with a slight smile, “Mr. Chen, you’re joking, right? This house is a gift from CEO Zheng; what money is there to talk about?”

Chen Cang was taken aback, “A house for me? No, no, that’s too valuable!”

Chen Cang gasped for air the moment he thought about the fact that a house worth over four million yuan was being given away for free.

It’s four million yuan, not four hundred yuan, to be given away just like that.

Wang Zhi chuckled, “Mr. Chen, it’s no use telling me about the money! You are CEO Zheng’s friend, I think it would be more appropriate for you to give CEO Zheng a call.”

Chen Cang thought so too, it was no use discussing it with Wang Zhi since he… was following Zheng Guotan’s orders.

Thinking of this, Chen Cang glanced at Wang Zhi and smiled, “Then… I’ll make a call first. Please wait a moment, Manager Wang.”

After saying that, Chen Cang stood up and dialed Zheng Guotan.

When Zheng Guotan saw the incoming call from Chen Cang, he answered, “Hello? Dr. Chen, good day.”

Chen Cang nodded, “CEO Zheng, good day…”

Before Chen Cang could finish, Zheng Guotan asked, “Dr. Chen, I asked Manager Wang to get in touch with you. We should get the house decorated quickly. Share your ideas about the renovation with Manager Wang; our company has a team for that.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately walked outside, “CEO Zheng, this is… too valuable; I really can’t accept it.”

Zheng Guotan laughed, “Dr. Chen, let me be frank. I’m very grateful for the way you sutured Ruyun’s injury, which is healing nicely. Every time I think of this favor worth tens of thousands of yuan, it makes me uncomfortable: I sincerely want to be friends with you, Dr. Chen. There isn’t much I can help with, but as it happens, you were looking to buy a house, and I sell houses, isn’t this a good chance to repay a favor? Moreover, my wife’s facial scar still needs your help!”

“So, please don’t be so polite with me about this matter. I’ve also inquired; performing a plastic surgery can cost over a million yuan these days. I just want to curry favor in advance, in case something comes up in the future, it’ll be easier to ask for your help.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang began, “This is…”

Zheng Guotan continued, and then suddenly realized, “Chen, you’re with the provincial second hospital’s establishment now, right?”

Chen Cang hummed in agreement, “Yes, my establishment issue was resolved not long ago.”

Zheng Guotan muttered, “Oh… I see!”

“Chen, here’s what we’ll do about the house; I’ll gift it to you, and you probably worry about potential issues. After all, you’re a promising young man, it’s not worth tarnishing your reputation over a little money. Give your phone to Wang Zhi, I’ll talk to him.” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Chen Cang handed the phone to Wang Zhi, and the two began to negotiate on the spot.

It seemed they were discussing how to lower the price.

Chen Cang heard something about special subsidy housing, group purchases, collective housing… and also promotional activities, gift shopping vouchers…

Compared to CEO Zheng, Wang Zhi was more articulate.

Eventually, after who knows how long, Wang Zhi looked at Chen Cang, gestured an OK, then handed the phone back to him.

Zheng Guotan said, “Chen, we’ll handle the house as a special discount property, and take the group purchase route. I’ll have the company organize a special event where you’ll be the lucky customer…”

Chen Cang was confused, but he couldn’t deny… they had numerous tactics at their disposal.

In the end, Chen Cang did spend money.

He spent a million yuan.

But… what about furniture, decorations, and a whole bunch of assistance for both software and hardware!

Chen Cang finally understood.

CEO Zheng was intent on making that one million yuan yield the effect of several million and then give it back to him.

…

…

After chatting for a while, Chen Cang gave up.

He didn’t dwell on it any longer. As Zheng Guotan said, it’s the thought that counts, and what about human feelings?

Zheng Guotan was eager to befriend him, and Chen Cang would help as much as he could in the future.

Moreover, Chen Cang also felt that getting to know someone like Zheng Guotan was not a bad thing at all.

After leaving the sales office, Chen Cang and Wang Zhi had dinner together.

Chen Cang knew, even though Wang Zhi helped him because of Zheng Guotan, relationships between people needed mutual maintenance.

Familiarity breeds fondness, and repeated interactions lead to friendship.

Even though Chen Cang knew that Wang Zhi helped him because of CEO Zheng, and even if he did nothing, Wang Zhi would still do his best to handle his leader’s affairs, Chen Cang couldn’t always look to Zheng Guotan for everything. Making friends with Wang Zhi would save him a lot of trouble in the future.

More friends mean more paths, right?

Chen Cang wasn’t naive; society wasn’t as simple as he thought, nor were interpersonal relationships.

Chen Cang was keen on making connections, and Wang Zhi was even more pleased inside. With their “meeting of minds,” their relationship naturally took its course.

Over the course of a meal, they were toasting to each other, calling each other brothers.

Chen Cang returned home, feeling thrilled. In one evening, he had settled the house matter. After freshening up and lying in bed, he prepared to give Qin Yue a surprise, planning to take her on a weekend tour of the place and design their future together, including the renovation and furniture.

Chen Cang knew that decorating was a bottomless pit, so this time, Zheng Guotan really gave him a great discount.

Thinking of Qin Yue’s happy face when she saw the house, Chen Cang still felt delighted; everything seemed worthwhile!

Chen Cang picked up his phone and sent a message to Qin Yue, “I did something big this afternoon!”

Qin Yue had just picked up her phone when she saw Chen Cang’s message, which startled her!

This Chen Cang… has no shame at all, does he?

Auntie… you’re… too scary!

Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a typo for “big thing” and couldn’t help but burst into laughter; the typo was quite soulful.

With that in mind, Qin Yue silently replied, “Let’s break up! I don’t want to be the other woman.”

Then she added, “You’ve done such a conscienceless act behind my back and still tell me? What kind of comment do you expect me to make?”

Chen Cang blinked, suddenly confused!

Where was the awaited praise?

Where was the curiosity?

Why breakup?

What third party!

Chen Cang turned back to look carefully at the message he had sent, and immediately his eyes widened in shock!

He couldn’t help but laugh and cry!

“I did a great aunt today!”

This damn typo was just too horrific.

But Qin Yue must have already noticed it.

Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn’t help but send a sweating emoji.

“Typo. It’s a big event…”

Qin Yue sent a picture of a little girl wearing a greenish hat.

Chen Cang couldn’t help but want to laugh; this girl was so cheeky!

Definitely the type who needs to be scolded every three days or she’ll start taking the roof apart!

Chen Cang chuckled, “I’ll surprise you on Sunday.”

Qin Yue: “The great aunt is pregnant? So soon? You already have kids?”

Chen Cang’s forehead was covered in black lines, and he wished he could throw his phone at Qin Xiaoyuan’s face. Could they not have a pleasant chat anymore?

After all, it’s the father’s fault if the daughter is not taught!

…

…

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyuan, looking at his daughter playing with her phone on the couch, suddenly felt a bit out of place.

“Why aren’t you going out for a stroll today?” Old Qin asked with confusion.

Qin Yue blinked, “Oh! I’m off today.”

Old Qin hesitated. Neither Chen Cang nor Qin Yue was on duty today, and with nothing important happening, why weren’t they going out for a stroll?

Could they have had a fight?

Over what?

The house, perhaps?

Thinking of this, Old Qin suddenly turned pale; his son-in-law… although he claimed it wasn’t very ideal, on second thought, he actually found him quite satisfactory, at least he was quite content with him.

Qin Yue and Chen Cang could be considered a perfect match, Yueyue had finally found someone she liked and got along with.

They couldn’t let this matter hinder the development of the kids’ relationship.

Moreover, Qin Xiaoyuan genuinely thought well of Chen Cang, especially his future prospects.

But, after all, he was a child from the village; it wasn’t easy for any of them. They should pursue their development and not let the house issue delay their future.

The more Old Qin thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, increasingly unable to let it go.

Seeing his wife and daughter sitting on the couch with their phones, Old Qin leaned in.

“Yueyue, about that matter of buying a house you mentioned last time… Dad thinks it’s quite suitable now!” Qin Xiaoyuan said earnestly.

Ji Ruyun was caught off-guard by Old Qin’s sudden statement.

And Qin Yue was stunned.

“Dad! Do you really think it’s suitable?” Qin Yue asked with a face full of surprise.

She hadn’t expected her father to actually agree!

After all, it wasn’t a small amount of money.

But… she thought about the house she had bought on the sly, definitely a surprise for Chen Cang!

Qin Xiaoyuan nodded, “Yeah, I now think we should also buy a house; after all, leaving money in the bank is getting us nowhere, better to buy a house to preserve its value.”

“At first, your mother and I thought that after you graduated, you might want to go to Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou for career development, and we planned to buy a house in the same city to be close to you, to cook for you and such.”

“Now that you’ve settled in Anyang, your parents also think it’s time to buy a house!”

At those words, Qin Yue felt a wave of emotion and her nose tingled.

She couldn’t help but hug Old Qin’s back and mumbled, “Dad, you’re the best!”

Old Qin couldn’t help but feel warm inside, and was even more determined to buy that house.

And in fact, Old Qin thought, if Chen Cang and Qin Yue got married, buying them a house would be worth it!

Why is that?

Qin Yue would marry Chen Cang, but since they both worked in Anyang, they would definitely spend more time with their own family than with Chen Cang’s parents.

When he and his wife got older, they would inevitably need Chen Cang’s help.

And then… there was only this daughter of his; in the end, who would his earnings go to? Could he possibly spend it all?

It would all go to Chen Cang anyway!

One has to think broadly and look to the long term; what use is it holding onto money or a house?

Better to spend the money and make the couple happy and settle down well.

Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan felt it was time to work on his wife.
