Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 125 Change A Position

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lin..."

A respectful greeting rang out in the large office area.

Lin Donghai strutted through the office area. In the last two months, there had been a series of unexpected events around him—Lin Qinghua was ill; the botanical garden was under military control; he had been interviewed by several leaders, and Lin Qinghua's personal freedom was even restricted. As a result, he, who had already made his retirement plans, had to pull himself together and return to the company.

He had a hunch that the Lin family's career could not rely on Lin Qinghua anymore. Now he must adjust his strategy and groom Lin Qingyu as his successor.

"Mr. Lin, the general manager is in her office. Shall I go and tell her you are here?" asked Ma Wuying, Lin Donghai's secretary.

Ma Wuying was under 30 years old, and she started working for Blueprint Biotechnology Company right out of college. With her excellent work ability, she was recognized by Lin Donghai, and within a few years she was promoted several levels and became his secretary. She had the right to directly report to Lin Donghai about the company over Lin Qingyu, so she was equivalent to Lin Donghai's eyes and ears in the company.

"No, Secretary Ma, get the VIP meeting room ready. We'll have some important clients to come later," Lin Donghai said as he walked.

"Okay. I'll get it ready right away," Ma Wuying replied, turning toward the VIP meeting room.

"Secretary Ma, wait." Lin Donghai stopped Ma Wuying.

Ma Wuying went back to Lin Donghai and asked, "Mr. Lin, anything else?"

Lin Donghai said, "You said there were kids from an orphanage in our office building, didn't you?"

"Yes, they're on the top floor," Ma Wuying replied. "It was arranged by the general manager. The orphanage was forcibly torn down. A doctor named Ning Tao brought them here."

Lin Donghai frowned. "Doctor Ning again! Does he consider my company a charity? What a farce! Whenever my family gets involved with him, it starts to go bad. He's a jinx!"

"Mr. Lin, it was arranged by the general manager, so I..." Ma Wuying looked embarra.s.sed. Lin Qingyu was Lin Donghai's daughter, one of the heirs of Blueprint Biotechnology Company, and how dare she, a secretary, against Lin Qingyu?

"It's none of your business. Go to work." Lin Donghai said and stormed off to Lin Qingyu's office.

Whispers began in the large office area.

"The chairman gets angry as soon as he comes back. The kids might be thrown out."

"The general manager has gone too far. She has feelings for Doctor Ning, but she shouldn't help him like this. It's normal for the chairman to be angry."

"Doctor Ning is not bad. He is not only handsome, but also has excellent medical skills. But he is too kind. I hear those children have nothing to do with him."

"Keep your voice down. If the chairman hears you, you'll be in trouble..."

Ma Wuying appeared at the entrance of the large office area and scolded with a sullen face, "Have you all finished your work? Do you want an extra shift together?"

The large office area was immediately quiet.

Lin Donghai arrived at Lin Qingyu's office. Just as he reached out to knock on the door, a familiar voice came from the office.

"Pull it gently, it hurts so much..."

"I have been very gentle. You should not feel very painful."

"Not very painful? Look, there's blood."

"Where?"

"I'll change a position and you gently..."

Even if the voice turned to ashes, Lin Donghai recognized it because it was his daughter Lin Qingyu's voice. He could also recognize the man's voice, too. It was Ning Tao's.

"There is blood!"

"Change a position!"

Lin Donghai was mad with anger. Instead of knocking, he jerked the office door open.

In the office, Lin Qingyu sat in her chair behind the desk with her head tilted, and Ning Tao stood behind her, stroking her hair with one hand and grabbing a white hair with the other, ready to pull it out. Lin Donghai's sudden appearance at the office door caused them to freeze immediately, as if a video had been pressed to pause.

Lin Donghai was also stunned. Apparently, what he saw was different from what he had expected. He thought they were making out in the office, but the reality was quite different.

The three looked at each other and were silent for several seconds.

"Dad, why are you here?" Lin Qingyu broke the awkward atmosphere hanging over the office.

Ning Tao made a pull, and the white hair in his hand was pulled off.

Lin Qingyu grinned a little and said, "Be gentle. It hurts."

Ning Tao tucked several white hairs into his pants pocket and greeted, "Uncle Lin, you're here. You talk, and I'm leaving."

Lin Donghai shouted angrily, "Stop!"

Ning Tao wasn't angry, but smiled and asked, "Uncle Lin, what's the matter?"

Lin Donghai snapped, "Don't call me that close. I don't know you very well."

Lin Qingyu stood up and became angry. "Dad! Brother Ning saved my brother. How can you treat him with this att.i.tude?"

Lin Donghai snarled, "You shut up! Tell me, what were you doing?"

"We... I have white hair on my head, Brother Ning help me pull them out. What did you think we were doing?" Lin Qingyu had never dared to contradict Lin Donghai, but this time she seemed to be possessed with an unequivocal reb.u.t.tal to her father. "And, if, if we have done something, it's of my own free will. I'm an adult, not a kid anymore. I have my freedom!"

"You..." Lin Donghai shivered with anger. "You're talking back to me for this guy. Do you still have me as your father?"

"You are unreasonable!" Lin Qingyu was really possessed.

Lin Donghai pointed to Ning Tao and said, "I know you have a crush on my daughter, and want to go after her in order to get my property, don't you?"

With a smile on his face, he said lightly, "Uncle Lin, I'll tell you the truth, even if you give me this piece of property, I won't accept it. I am friends with Qinghua, and Qingyu and I were friends, too. That was all. Also, not everyone in this world cared about money, and not everyone wanted your money. You would live easier with less persistence. Money was just external objects."

Lin Donghai laughed angrily. "Are you in a position to preach to me?"

Ning Tao uttered, "I'm not preaching, I'm just being considering the fact as it stands and giving my advice. Well, if you please, you talk and I have to leave now."

"Take those orphans out of my building. This is not a charity!"

Ning Tao said, "No problem, I'll take them. Anyway, thank you for providing shelter for those poor children these days."

Things had to be kept separate. No matter how Lin Donghai treated Ning Tao, this building was his property, and the children from the Sunshine Orphanage lived here on his account.

"Brother Ning, I go with you." Lin Qingyu, still angry, actually walked over to Ning Tao.

Lin Donghai shouted, "You stop!"

Lin Qingyu did not stop and just walked past him.

Lin Donghai grabbed her by the arm. "Let him go, and you're not gonna get anywhere with him. Only the best men deserve you. You know what's going on with your brother. You're destined to be the future chairman of Blueprint Biotechnology Company. Look at you, how can I trust you with Blueprint Biotechnology Company?"

"I don't want to be the chairman, I want Brother Ning!" Lin Qingyu cried in a shrill voice, almost shouting at Lin Donghai.

"You..." Lin Donghai was too angry to speak.

Lin Qingyu's words were like a needle p.r.i.c.king Ning Tao's heart, piercing a hole and leaving a mark. When was he loved so unflinchingly? At that moment, he really had an impulse to go up to Lin Qingyu and take her away. But that was only an impulse, and the reality was cruel—he was a natural go-between of good and evil, outside the owner of the Sky Clinic, who was destined to stand in opposition to the wicked, and just was nearly killed by a killer. How could he love or even have a woman? What was more, he was also a cultivating doctor, and as long as he was able to earn rent, he wouldn't be old. In this case, how should the aging Lin Qingyu face him as young as before 20 or 30 years later?

Just then Ma Wuying appeared at the door, made a small cough to remind the three people in the office, and then said aloud, "Mr. Lin, Miss Lin, the clients have arrived. I put them in the VIP meeting room."

Lin Donghai said, "You go to them first and tell them that me and the general manager are coming."

"Got it." Ma Wuying bowed slightly and left the office door.

Lin Qingyu stared at Ning Tao with longing and courage in her eyes, as if to tell him that she would go with him as long as he accepted her.

Ning Tao, deeply distressed, said, "I won't bother you two about business. I'm going."

"Brother Ning..." cried Lin Qingyu.

Ning Tao made a small pause, but the next second, he just quickened his pace.

Lin Donghai was right. He and Lin Qingyu were not going to get anywhere. Why, then, should he waste the precious years of a good girl? It applied to Lin Qingyu, and so did Jiang Hao and even Zhao Wushuang. He was a man who walked between good and evil, and he could not give them the life they wanted—getting marriage, having children, and living together till old age.

Lin Qingyu closed her mouth, with tears in her black eyes. As a woman, her statement just now was extreme, but Ning Tao's reaction was indifferent. Her heart felt as if it were cracking, but Ning Tao sprinkled a handful of salt on her wound, which hurt her badly.

Ning Tao also felt bad, because he knew he had hurt Lin Qingyu.

He made his way to the stairwell and pa.s.sed a meeting room. The door was open and he cast a glance inside.

There were two people sitting in the meeting room, one Asian with yellow skin and one white with blond hair and blue eyes. The yellow-skinned Asian sat upright with a very serious look on his face. The blond, blue-eyed white man was tall and had sharp eyes.

Ning Tao wondered, "These two are clearly not from this country. Where are they from?"

The two clients in the meeting room also saw Ning Tao, and their eyes were on him.

Ning Tao walked straight past the door without stopping.
