Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother-Chapter 394 - Nails
Chapter 394: Nails
Isn’t he just hinting that there is an ingrate around the old leader??The corners of Tang Mingkun’s mouth curled up slightly.?This is a good idea.?He was still troubled about how to tell his good friend. He didn’t expect his godson to take the initiative to attack and try to wake his good friend up with what he had experienced. He thought Lu Ming really did a good job! He just didn’t know how effective it was. Thinking of this, he looked at the old leader silently.
The old leader did not understand Lu Ming’s true motive at all. He agreed and said, “That’s right! People nowadays are so materialistic that they become neither human nor ghost. I’ve always hated ingrates the most. When I was in the government department in the past, I met such people!”
Although Lu Ming did not achieve his goal, it brought back memories of the old leader’s past.
“At that time, I was working in a government department. As for my position, it was similar to a managerial position in a company. I had an old friend that I met in the army whom I had not seen for a while. Later, he was transferred as an assistant to the department I was in and I was quite happy. After all, it wasn’t easy to find someone who knew me and was like-minded.”
At this point, the old leader sighed and said, “Because we were comrades-in-arms, I didn’t guard against him. Occasionally, he would ask me where a certain document was placed and said that the higher-ups needed him to organize it. I didn’t take it to heart. After all, he was a newcomer. Such things were common.
Hence, I told the assistant the location of the documents. I did not expect that he had been bribed. If not for the fact that someone saw him sneaking around and caught him in the act, I would have made a huge mistake! To be honest, I did not expect his once passionate comrade-in-arms to become like this!
From then on, I was more thoughtful when interacting with others. Fortunately, my life is much quieter now. Those who are here in my courtyard are all people I trust. Before they came, I specially did a thorough background check on them. I was put to the test in that incident. Now that I think about it, I was really young back then.”
…?He didn’t catch the main point at all.?It seems that this matter can only be put on hold for the time being.
Lu Ming’s smile almost froze on his face. Fortunately, he quickly adjusted himself and said, “After all, it’s hard to predict people’s hearts. I think it’s getting late. Old Leader, you should rest early. Everyone still has something to do tomorrow, so I won’t disturb you any longer.”
“Alright, by the way, sign your name. Auntie keeps reminding me not to forget about this!”
The old leader took a board and a pen from somewhere. Lu Ming gave his autograph in less than half a minute. After the guests left, he sat in the tearoom and thought about something. He felt that Little Ming was implying something, but he could not figure out what he meant.
He was lost in thought when a familiar figure appeared at the door. “Old leader?”
“Little Fang?”
The old leader looked up meaningfully. The person who came was his captain, Fang Tiancheng! He asked curiously, “Why are you here?” f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦
Fang Tiancheng did not deny it and told him everything he knew about the epidemic from Tang Wenyi. Then he said tentatively, “This matter is quite easy to resolve. As long as you take preventive medicine within a certain period of time, it will be fine. I happen to have connections in this area. Why don’t you leave this matter to me?
You can rest assured I will handle it well. Didn’t I settle many complicated matters previously? Besides, I see that you’ve been a little tired recently. I don’t want these trivial matters to bother you. If anything happens to your health, you’ll be in big trouble. I think not only me, but the people will also be worried about you!”
The first few words sounded quite normal. At first, the old leader did not pay attention to them, but later, he realized that something was wrong. He sized up the person in front of him and for some reason, he recalled what Lu Ming had said earlier—the human heart was unpredictable! Although Lu Ming was talking about himself, his words seemed to be for his own good.
However, if he hadn’t listened to Lu Ming’s words, he would probably have agreed to let Fang Tiancheng handle the matter.?Why would my subordinate deliberately ignore the lethality of this new epidemic? Does he really not want me to worry, or does he not want me to interfere in this matter? Is it because Fang Tiancheng has already arranged everything? ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣o𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢
This is really so strange. Obviously, Lu Ming Corporation has not produced any results from their cooperation with the top foreign pharmaceutical groups, but Fang Tiancheng can confidently say that there is a solution. Could it be that he has picked up some undiscovered talent? A company that is not famous, but has an elite team?
It did not seem right to think that way. Although it was not impossible, he was sure that—if he wanted to reach the top of the pyramid in the medical field, he would need time to settle down. The more experience he accumulated, the less likely he would fail! Now, his garrison captain actually wanted to use a company that he could not even name.
It was hard not to wonder if Fang Tiancheng had been bribed!
When the old leader thought about how the two of them had been together for so long, he did not want to suspect the other party without any evidence. However, he would put Fang Tiancheng under surveillance now, and he would wait for him to give the game away! He said indifferently, “I’ll consider this matter again. Let me handle it for the time being. Anyway, I only have one goal from the beginning to the end. It’s for the good of the country and the people! Without them, we’re nothing!”
Immediately, his burning eyes almost made Fang Tiancheng think that he had seen through his real motives!?Impossible, right? The old leader could keep me here for so long, so how could he suddenly see my true nature??Hence, he quickly came back to his senses and said, “You’re right! If the outside world knows how you feel, they will definitely respect you even more!”
If he had not panicked for a moment, the old leader would really have been fooled. He increasingly felt that there was something wrong with his eyesight. Perhaps Lu Ming said those things earlier because he had seen through Fang Tiancheng’s facade. This also explained why Lu Ming said those words out of the blue.
“Then it’s settled. If you have nothing else to do, return to your post.”
Fang Tiancheng was not upset that his attempt had failed. In any case, there was still time. As long as he stayed here for a day, he would have a chance to complete this job!
Just as he was about to leave briskly, the old leader’s voice sounded behind him again. “I see that you’ve been a little distracted recently. Let Ah Guang handle some of the documents. It’s more efficient for the two of you to handle them together.”
