In his words, he was defending Xia Xingchen and showing his trust in her ability. Xia Xingkong was unhappy, but he just smiled and asked casually, "Brother Xu Yan, you guys are not in contact privately, right?"
“…No.” When Xu Yan said these two words, his eyes darkened unconsciously.
Xia Xingkong gritted her teeth, feeling even more angry. Could it be that Xu Yan still had feelings for her
No! She would never allow this to happen!
… … …
After Bai Yeqing hung up the phone, he asked Leng Fei to hang up and go to Fu Yichen.
"How is the Academy of Sciences doing in researching effective drugs?"
Fu Yichen said: "It's still under study. I just made a breakthrough an hour ago. I'm preparing the materials to report to you at the General Office."
"How long will it take to research it out?"
"It will take at least a month."
Bai Yeqing groaned, "Hurry up, the patient can't wait."
"Okay, we must hurry up."
"Xia Guopeng, he is the latest new case, right?" Bai Yeqing asked.
"Yes. I haven't had the chance to meet him yet because I'm too busy."
"Please arrange it for me. I want to personally meet all the infected patients now." Originally, visiting patients, encouraging them, and letting them rest assured to recover was a necessary schedule for him recently, but now it seems that he has to do it earlier.
Fu Yichen was worried, "Visit now? But the virus is still very active, I'm worried that the risk is too high..."
"You medical staff are all on the front lines. As your leader, I cannot be a coward. Make arrangements as soon as possible!"
Fu Yichen knew his character. He was a man of his word. So he didn't try to persuade him any more. He just agreed and hung up the phone.
… … …
Xia Xingchen received a call from Leng Fei, asking her to go directly to Beisiyuan Hospital and wait.
She called Li Lingyi again. When she asked for leave from the department and rushed to Beisiyuan Hospital, Li Lingyi had already arrived. She was accompanied by the old lady, Xia Xingkong, and Xu Yan.
"Xingchen, do you really have a solution?"
As soon as she got out of the car, the old lady's trembling body came towards her.
"That should be correct." Xia Xingchen nodded. Xia Xingkong looked doubtful, "How did you come up with this idea? You didn't make us come here in vain, did you?"
"We've come to this point, and there's no better way, so let's choose to trust Xingchen." Xu Yan spoke lightly, but his words were all about helping Xia Xingchen.
Xia Xingchen looked at him subconsciously, but she didn't expect that he was also looking at her.
That look was filled with complex emotions, which reminded her of what he said to her at the Gomus Stadium that day. She still felt a little embarrassed now.
So, after just exchanging a glance, she pretended nothing happened and looked away first.
Right now...
The director of the Beisiyuan Hospital and other medical staff rushed out and lined up at the door.
"The president will be here soon!" the dean shouted.
"Everyone should tidy up and cheer up. The president is very concerned about this epidemic, and we must also be in the best spirits to welcome the president's visit and inspection."
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
Xia Xingchen never expected that Bai Yeqing would be there himself, which was quite unexpected. When Li Ling heard that the president was coming, she couldn't help but look around curiously: "Xingkong, they are talking about the president, right? I have only seen him on TV before. Are we going to see him in person today?"
"Yes. I'm talking about the President."
"I didn't expect that today is such a good time. Even the President is here!" Li Ling was so excited that she looked like an ordinary person watching a star. As soon as she finished speaking, several bodyguards came over and stood on both sides of the street, forming a safety barrier to keep the crowd far away.
Then…
The convoy drove slowly towards us.
Six cars in front and behind.
Xia Xingchen saw Leng Fei first, and then, surrounded by the crowd, it was him.
Today is a rare good day, under the sunshine, he is still so charming.
"Good afternoon, Mr. President!"
"It's dangerous in there, please be careful!"
"You seem to have lost weight again, take care of yourself!"
"Have you had lunch yet?"
The enthusiastic and kind-hearted people, unable to conceal their excitement, crowded around him. Xia Xingchen and her group were desperately pushed out by the crowd, and she almost fell down several times.
She raised her eyes to look at the figure. The two people were actually very close to each other, only less than ten meters apart.
But... it's so far away...
Across the vast sea of people, he stood in a supreme position, and she seemed even smaller.
The more she looked up at him, the more she felt that this man was out of her reach...
The crowd was so crowded that she almost fell down.
"Be careful!" Xu Yan held her waist with his hand and looked at her worriedly, "Did you sprain your ankle?"
His palms were hot.
With his support, Xia Xingchen managed to steady herself, looked up to meet his concerned gaze, feeling slightly embarrassed.
He shook his head slightly, "It doesn't matter."
Xia Xingchen had just stood firm when she felt a chill down her spine from being stared at. Turning back, Xia Xingkong's resentful eyes seemed to want to dig a hole in her alive.
Thinking of what Xu Yan said to her on the court that day, she subconsciously took a step back and avoided Xu Yan's hand.
"Xingkong, look! The President seems to be looking towards us!" Li Ling's excited voice came. She pulled her daughter's hand.
Everyone turned their attention to the President again. Xia Xingchen met his gaze—deep and complex.
He turned and whispered a few words to Leng Fei beside him, then withdrew his gaze and walked forward without pausing.
Xia Xingkong's mind was all on Xu Yan. She walked over and hugged Xu Yan, saying unhappily, "Now that the president is here, we can't even get into the hospital, let alone the isolation ward! Sister, if you can't help, just tell us, don't let us waste time here. Grandma is in poor health. If something happens to her, can you take the responsibility?"
As soon as Xia Xingkong finished speaking, Li Lingyi seemed to think that her daughter's words made sense, and continued, "That's right. I had placed my hopes on you, but now I think it was too stupid. I should have thought of it a long time ago. Even Xu Yan couldn't do it, so how could you have a solution?"
But…
Li Lingyi had just finished speaking when the crowd was suddenly separated by several bodyguards in black.
Immediately afterwards, Fu Yichen slowly walked over from the vacated path, and in full view of everyone, he walked straight in front of Xia Xingchen.
"Miss Xia." He greeted politely.
Everyone cast inquiring and envious glances towards Xia Xingchen.
Although no one knew who Fu Yichen was, with so many of the president's bodyguards clearing the way for him, he must not be an ordinary person.
And what about this young girl
Even such a person standing in front of her is polite, she is even more unusual among the unusual ones!
