Just as the domineering CEO was unleashing his overwhelming aura...
Elsewhere.
Lin Xuan arrived at the door of the director's office.
His purpose for coming to Magic City Hospital this time was to recruit Ma Yingzhe to work for him.
But the hospital was so big—who knew which ward Ma Yingzhe was in?
He wasn't even sure if Ma Yingzhe was currently in this hospital.
So, the most time-efficient way was to ask the highest-ranking "official" in the hospital to investigate.
He pushed open the door.
Inside, an elderly man in a white coat, with a face full of wrinkles, was working at his desk.
"Director Feng! Help me find someone—Ma Yingzhe."
Lin Xuan got straight to the point.
"You are... Young Master Lin! Looking for Ma Yingzhe, is that right? Understood, I'll have someone check immediately."
After recognizing Lin Xuan's identity, the elderly man didn't ask any further questions. He smiled warmly, took out his phone, and started making calls.
As the director of Magic City's First People's Hospital, he had met Lin Xuan several times and naturally knew about his background, as well as the news that he was soon to become the grandson-in-law of the Su family.
Not to mention that the Su family donated medical equipment to the hospital every year.
Just finding someone was a small request, and Director Feng would certainly give him face.
Soon, news came from the inpatient department.
There was a patient named Chen Mei, and her accompanying family member was named Ma Yingzhe.
Thus, under Director Feng's enthusiastic arrangement, Lin Xuan followed a young nurse towards the inpatient department.
On the way, the young nurse briefly explained Chen Mei's condition…
Uremia.
After hearing the nurse's explanation, the corners of Lin Xuan's lips curled up into a confident smile.
Everything was going exactly as he had predicted...
This brother-in-law's foundation… was as good as dug out!!!
Soon, the two arrived at an ordinary hospital room. After bidding farewell to the young nurse, Lin Xuan pushed the door open and entered…
Inside the ward, a plain-looking woman wearing an oxygen mask was lying on the bed asleep.
Beside her sat a middle-aged man with a haggard expression.
His brows were furrowed, and he kept sighing silently, as if troubled by something.
"Ma Yingzhe?"
Hearing someone call his name, the exhausted man turned around in surprise, making eye contact with Lin Xuan.
Ugly.
Unusual features.
The moment Lin Xuan saw Ma Yingzhe, these words popped into his mind.
His face was long and narrow, resembling an elongated horse face, with sharp contours—almost like an ancient stone tablet eroded by time.
His eyes were small and deep, like two pebbles hidden in the grass.
His nose was large and flat, reminiscent of an unsightly mound of dirt that appears after a rain.
His lips were thin, with a bluish-purple hue, as if they belonged to a weary old horse exposed to the winter air.
His body was short and hunched, resembling an aged pine tree on the verge of snapping in a storm.
Based purely on facial features, he was an eyesore—so ugly it left people speechless.
'So, this is why he has talent but never got the opportunity to showcase it...'
In a society that values appearance, looks do matter.
Most people wouldn't look past his unattractive appearance to give him a chance to display his abilities.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Seeing the distinguished-looking young man approaching, Ma Yingzhe became uneasy and quickly stood up, instinctively wanting to flee.
He thought Lin Xuan had come to collect debts…
After all, in order to save his wife's life, he had borrowed money from almost every possible source.
Now, different debt collectors came knocking on his door every day.
But his pockets were even emptier than his face—where would he find money to repay his debts? All he could do was live in fear, hiding and avoiding them every day.
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you truly want... to live?"
What left Ma Yingzhe utterly confused was...
The young man before him suddenly said something completely inexplicable.
"(⊙⊙)???"
At first, Ma Yingzhe was full of question marks in his mind.
But when he met the young man's clear and determined gaze…
For some reason, a surge of passion suddenly rose in Ma Yingzhe's heart.
Unconsciously, he nodded.
Thinking back on his forty years of life—mediocre, insignificant, living worse than a stray dog, unable even to protect the woman he loved the most.
How could he not long to truly live, to live… like a normal person?
But no matter how hard he worked, no matter how much he humbled himself and begged…
Most people dismissed him outright because of his unattractive appearance. They wouldn't even give him a chance—not even an internship.
Seeing Ma Yingzhe nod, Lin Xuan smiled and extended his hand to him.
"Very well, come work for me! In return, I will give you everything you desire!"
"You can name your own salary. I will pay off all your debts, and I will also ensure that the hospital provides the best medical care for your wife."
"......"
Hearing the generous offer, Ma Yingzhe felt like he was in a fog.
Who was this young man?
Why was he suddenly offering him a job???
And why did it seem like he knew everything about him?
Ma Yingzhe desperately searched his memory.
But he couldn't recall ever interacting with Lin Xuan before!
However, upon hearing that Lin Xuan had the ability to provide his wife with the best medical care,
Ma Yingzhe didn't even hesitate. He desperatly grabbed Lin Xuan's hand.
"Please save my wife! I don't care about the money!"
"As long as you can cure my wife, I'll do anything! Whatever you want, I'll do it! I'll even be your dog if you want!"
Looking at the man's sincere yet solemn face, Lin Xuan grinned.
"Very well, remember what you said today."
Then, under Ma Yingzhe's puzzled gaze, Lin Xuan pulled out his phone and made a call.
One minute later—
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed from outside the room.
To Ma Yingzhe's utter shock, he hospital's director arrived in person, followed by several of the hospital's most renowned doctors.
Usually, it took a long time to schedule an appointment with even one of these doctors.
But now, they had all gathered here… because of a single phone call from this young man.
Who the hell was this person…?!
Watching Lin Xuan surrounded by top doctors, Ma Yingzhe's eyes flickered with a strange brilliance.
As the saying goes, "A fine horse must wait for its discerning master to be recognized."
Ma Yingzhe had always considered himself an undiscovered talent—
But today, for some inexplicable reason, he had a feeling that his destiny… was about to undergo a dramatic change.
Because his Bole—his fated benefactor—had appeared.
Elsewhere.
After understanding the specifics of the situation, Director Feng began to report.
"Young Master Lin, as per your request, we have successfully found a suitable kidney match through our private donor database."
"When can the surgery be performed?"
Lin Xuan was straightforward and to the point. He didn't care where the kidney came from—he only wanted Chen Mei to be treated as soon as possible so he could secure Ma Yingzhe's loyalty.
"The earliest we can do the kidney transplant… is tomorrow morning. I will personally perform the surgery to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
After a moment of thought, Director Feng gave Lin Xuan a satisfactory answer.
"Good. Thank you, Director Feng."
"As for the medical expenses, I will cover everything."
"You just need to ensure that Chen Mei receives the best treatment and the best care. No problem, right?"
Seeing Director Feng and the others nod repeatedly, confidently assuring that there was no problem, Lin Xuan finally felt relieved. He had been worried that this would turn into one of those cliché plotlines where "only the protagonist can cure the disease."
It seemed that the reason Su Fan was the only one who could treat this illness in the later stages was entirely because Chen Mei's condition had dragged on for too long, leading to a series of complications.
Now, by performing the transplant early and with top-tier medical care, the problem could be resolved without the protagonist's intervention.
"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Lin..."
"No, Boss! From now on, my life is yours! Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it."
Seeing how Lin Xuan had effortlessly resolved the problem that had troubled him for so long, Ma Yingzhe was both shocked and deeply grateful.
He knew very well that—
Forget about the fact that he couldn't afford the expensive medical bills.
Even if he could afford it... without Lin Xuan's intervention, even if a kidney became available, it would never be allocated to them.
After all, there were far too many patients in need of a kidney transplant, and hospitals always prioritized those with power and influence.
A kidney transplant... was essentially a game of "connections and social standing."
Overcome with emotion, Ma Yingzhe instinctively tried to kneel and bow in gratitude.
But Lin Xuan quickly grabbed him and stopped him.
"Stop—stop! I don't do that kneeling stuff!"
"If you really want to repay me, just focus on making money for me after your wife's surgery is successful."
"Alright, Director Feng—please arrange for Chen Mei to be moved to a VIP room first!"
Upon hearing this, Director Feng immediately made arrangements.
He just happened to recall that the chairman of the Lin Group had recently vacated a VIP room.
So, he ordered the medical staff to prepare to move Chen Mei into that room.
"Stay with your wife. I'll be back tomorrow!"
"Once she recovers, I'll arrange work for you. See you then!"
As Ma Yingzhe bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, Lin Xuan waved his hand and left.
Since it was still early, Lin Xuan strolled around the hospital and noticed that the majority of the patients here were those who had been disfigured by the so-called "beauty cream."
He also saw middle-aged men wielding large iron rods, roaming around.
Their sharp eyes scanned the hospital as if searching for someone...
"Brother, why are you here? Are you visiting Daddy?"
At that moment, a familiar, effeminate voice reached Lin Xuan's ears, making the corner of his mouth twitch.
He felt like fate was playing a joke on him—could it be that he had run into those weirdos again?!
Turning his head, he saw two men and a woman, all wrapped up tightly in coats and wearing large sunglasses, as if afraid of being recognized.
The moment Lin Xuan noticed them, they also spotted him.
Lin Jianjun had originally rushed here upon hearing the news that Kunshan's Dragon Brother had gathered 10,086 "dog-beating warriors" to have him torn to pieces.
That's why, in a state of panic, he was planning to leave the hospital as soon as possible with Lin Hao and Bai Yuelan.
After all, since he could no longer afford to pay salaries, all those ungrateful bodyguards had quit.
Now, there was no one left to protect him!
But before they could leave the hospital, they ran straight into Lin Xuan.
"Ungrate— I mean... Xiaoxuan! You came to see your father, didn't you?"
"I knew it! Deep down, you still care about your father. After all, the bond between us is something that can never be severed."
"Father knows he was wrong. From now on, let's reconcile and be a loving father and son again!"
"......"
This time, Lin Jianjun had learned his lesson. His tone was much gentler, and he no longer resorted to his usual insults upon seeing Lin Xuan.
He did his best to act like a loving father, gazing at Lin Xuan with "sincere" eyes.
Swoosh—
Faced with Lin Jianjun's gaze, Lin Xuan felt a wave of goosebumps, nearly gagging from disgust.
He quickly waved his hand to stop him.
"Enough! Shut up already! I'm here to find someone to manage the Lin family business for me in the future."
Huh?
Finding someone to manage the Lin family?
But the hospital was full of doctors and patients—who could possibly manage a massive corporation?!
Lin Jianjun and the others found this hard to believe.
They were convinced that Lin Xuan was just too embarrassed to admit his real reason for coming.
Clearly, he had heard rumors about the danger Lin Jianjun was in and had rushed over early in the morning to protect him.
But then, he had struggled to come up with such a lame excuse—how pitiful.
Lin Jianjun was deeply moved, his eyes glistening with tears.
He had thought this rebellious son was beyond redemption.
But now, he realized that, deep down, Lin Xuan still cared about his father.
Just look at this—
The moment he heard his father was in trouble, he had rushed over without hesitation.
Suddenly, Lin Jianjun regretted having kicked Lin Xuan out of the house.
Even if Lin Xuan had been disrespectful in the past, he still carried his father's blood.
"Xiaoxuan! You just said you were looking for someone to manage the Lin family business?"
"Could it be that you've finally come to your senses and decided to buy my shares?"
"How much are you planning to pay? 3 billion?"
Among the three, Bai Yuelan was the first to react, and her eyes immediately lit up.
If Lin Xuan really spent a fortune to buy the shares, then she could just find a chance to run off with the money, securing a comfortable life for herself and her son.
Hearing Bai Yuelan's unsolicited comments, Lin Jianjun frowned, feeling a bit annoyed.
For the first time, he felt a trace of disgust towards his young wife.
Hmph!
This woman only ever thought about "money, money, money."
She had completely ruined such a touching moment between father and son!
If Lin Xuan misunderstood and thought he was only after his money, wouldn't that damage the great fatherly image he had carefully crafted?!
Besides, those shares weren't worth that much now anyway.
Wasn't she just trying to scam their own son?!
Now that he realized Lin Xuan had come all this way out of concern for him, Lin Jianjun's heart warmed, and his fatherly love for Lin Xuan was rekindled.
He decided to forgive past grievances and give his unfilial son a chance to return to the family.
As the saying goes:
"To err is human; to forgive, divine."
"To know one's faults and correct them is the greatest virtue."
Even if Lin Xuan had been disrespectful in the past, since he was now willing to change and sincerely repent, Lin Jianjun was not so heartless as to refuse him.
Perhaps he could show mercy and give Lin Xuan the chance to kneel, apologize, and become his son again.
Lin Xuan would surely be so moved that he would burst into tears…
At this moment, Lin Jianjun looked at Lin Xuan with soft eyes, brimming with "fatherly love."
