Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Did you sell yourself to him?

Even though he was scolding her, Qiao Yin knew that he was actually worrying about her.

So, she didn’t hide from her brother: “I have been working as an assistant for Dongfang Mu, and the five million was a bonus he gave me. After I found out he also gave Qiao Haidong twenty million, I immediately returned the five million to him.”

The volume of Qiao Jiasen’s voice suddenly increased: “He gave you a bonus of five million?! Qiao Yin, what did you do for him to give you this much money? Did you sell yourself to him?”

“What nonsense! I’ve already said, I work as his assistant!”

“Which assistant gets a bonus of five million? Do the executives at the Eastern Empire Group even get a bonus of five million? Is the work of his assistant worth more than the executives’?”

“I’m not just an ordinary assistant, he gave me a bonus of five million because the business value I created for him far exceeds five million.”

Qiao Yin’s voice carried a confident and composed undertone: “What, do you look down on your sister? Your sister happens to be a top student from Hua University’s Computer Science department!”

“Alright, alright, I know you’re a top student. You keep showing it off, not at all like a top student would.”

“If I don’t say I’m a top student, what then? You’d assume the worst? That I’m selling myself? Do I look like some immoral person to you?”

“Of course, you have morality, but you’re just not smart. I’m just worried that after being deceived by someone with the surname ‘Lu’, you’d be tricked by someone with the surname ‘Dongfang’.”

Qiao Yin was somewhat annoyed: “Qiao Jiasen, could you please say something nice for once!”

“Hmm.”

The indifferent response from Qiao Jiasen followed: “Don’t return the remaining five million. I’ll see if I can get more money from Qiao Haidong to square off the account.”

“Oh.”

“Keep your distance when working as Dongfang Mu’s assistant.”

“You sure are controlling.”

“There aren’t many good men out there. No matter what sweet nothings he whispers to you, don’t believe him. He’s even less reliable than the one with the surname ‘Lu’.”

“Kids who worry too much tend to age prematurely.”

“I’m not a kid!”

Qiao Jiasen gritted his teeth and spat this sentence out before hanging up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone from her mobile, Qiao Yin could not help but laugh a little.

Teasing him was quite fun.

The morning passed quickly.

At noon, after having lunch, Qiao Yin said goodbye to her grandmother and cousin and then headed out in her car.

The news about the Hospital Director of Lan’s Hospital cheating with his own student and having an illegitimate child was still circulating.

As she drove, Qiao Yin listened to the radio news about Lan Ruikang’s public apology. She felt great.

I bet Lan Yuyi is having a hard time, right?

At one o’clock, she arrived at Qingzhu Hospital.

This was the private hospital she had previously considered the most suitable for acquisition.

Small in scale, lacking reputation, teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

Originally, if Qiao Haidong hadn’t wrangled in twenty million, Qiao Yin would have had a bonus of five million on her hands, add that to the money left by her mother and her grandmother’s savings, acquiring Qingzhu Hospital would not have been a problem.

But now, without those five million, she didn’t have enough money.

Besides, she wasn’t eager to dip into her grandmother’s savings or the money left by her mother.

So, she thought of another way, which was to temporarily use technology for equity, becoming a partner of Qingzhu Hospital.

Today, she was here to discuss collaboration with the Hospital Director, Song Kaiyan of Qingzhu Hospital.

Song Kaiyan, who was in his fifties, was the actual owner of Qingzhu Hospital.

Apart from him, his son, Song Zhu, who followed his father’s footsteps and was a medical doctor from a reputable medical university, also met Qiao Yin.

The negotiations lasted a full two hours.

But when the three of them came out of the meeting room, their faces were all filled with hope.

Qiao Yin reached out to Song Kaiyan: “Director Song, I appreciate your willingness to compromise and change the hospital’s name.”
