Chapter 245: My Body Can’t Take It

Ruan Qi finally wore a nice dress today, but she had to dissect a corpse. The autopsy lab smelled of formalin. Every time she had an anatomy class, she had to take a shower, or she would smell the formalin on her body.

Tang Beibei comforted her. “Going in with a good mood is a great start. You’ll get used to it slowly.”

“How can you get used to it?”

Helpless, Tang Beibei tried her best to persuade Ruan Qi. “We’re medical students. We’ll have to face it eventually when we practice medicine in a hospital.”

Ruan Qi had nothing to say, but she still had a bitter look on her face when she entered the lab.

The anatomy class lasted for more than three hours. When the class finally ended, Ruan Qi left hurriedly with a pale face.

Tang Beibei touched her forehead and asked, “Qiqi, are you feeling unwell?”

“Yes, I feel a little dizzy.”

Tang Beibei took out a water bottle from her bag and handed it to Ruan Qi. Ruan Qi drank some water but was still dazed. Tang Beibei was planning to go to the library, but Ruan Qi looked like she was not in any mood to study.

“Let’s go dance.”

“Okay.”

Ruan Qi, who was sickly just a moment ago, instantly became spirited and drank half a bottle of water in a single gulp.

Jiang Jingchen still went to work at Jiang Corporation today. There was no Christmas break in the country.

Jiang Jingchen went to the office and saw an apple on his desk. His colleague told him that it was an employee benefit. The company gave everyone an apple on Christmas Eve to wish everyone good health.

Jiang Jingchen said with disdain, “Only one apple? 1 thought there would be more.”

His colleague’s mouth twitched. “There are many employees in this building. This already cost the company quite a lot.”

“Oh, I see.” Jiang Jingchen gave his apple to Song Zhou.

Song Zhou understood that he was asking him to handle it, so he said, “I’ll bring it home to make apple juice. It’ll be a waste to throw it away.”

He was a thrifty and good butler.

At this moment, the department head, Mr. Li, came to inform Song Zhou that there was a meeting.

Jiang Jingchen looked at him. “Why am 1 not invited to the meeting?”

Mr. Li thought to himself that Jiang Jingchen should know better why his butler was invited rather than him.

He didn’t do any work, but he wanted to participate in meetings just for fun.

“I’m telling Song Zhou so he can tell you. First Young Master, you we welcome to join the meeting.”

Mr. Li spoke politely, but his expression wasn’t very respectful. He struggled to please this young master who came to work late every day and left early.

Jiang Jingchen didn’t care about how others saw him. He got up and swaggered to the conference room with Song Zhou.

In the conference room, Jiang Jingchen saw many meeting attendees from various departments. Jiang Jingchen sat down with Mr. Li and saw Jiang Minglang.

This should be the monthly all-hands meeting. Jiang Xing was there, seated at the most prominent position, waiting for updates from all the departments.

Jiang Minglang represented the marketing department and gave his update. Based on his report, the department was doing well, and everyone liked the results. Jiang Xing also nodded in satisfaction.

Jiang Minglang had finally proven himself.

The next department update was from the customer service department, which was responsible for solving customer complaints by coordinating with all the other departments. Mr. Li had been the department head for years, so he was already a veteran at such monthly meetings.

When he was about to sit down after his update, Jiang Minglang suddenly said, “I wonder what my big brother thinks of the customer service department since he joined.”

Mr. Li looked nervously at Jiang Jingchen, afraid that this young master would say something crazy.

Jiang Jingchen wasn’t at all surprised by Jiang Minglang’s question. It was Jiang Minglang’s style to make things difficult for him whenever he had a chance.

He replied unhurriedly, “I’m new here so I’m still learning the ropes. I don’t have much of any opinion, but I thought that giving every employee just one apple today was a bit meagre.”

The corner of Jiang Minglang’s mouth twitched. “You’ve been here for almost a month,” he said. “You should have some understanding of your work. You can’t expect your butler to handle everything for you.”

“Are you objecting to the fact that I let him handle things? Will you help me then?” Jiang Jingchen asked.

“You…”

“We are in a meeting. Work talk only!” Jiang Xing lectured with a dark face as he glared at Jiang Minglang. Whatever good impression he had of him earlier was all gone now.

He had arranged for Jiang Jingchen to work in the customer service department, not expecting him to achieve much. He just wanted to him to settle in a position and not make trouble.

But Jiang Minglang was still finding trouble with him, and in front of so many people. He was telling the entire company that the two young masters of the Jiang family couldn’t get along and he was embarrassing the Jiang family.

What an incompetent bungler!

Jiang Minglang was extremely unhappy when he was suddenly reprimanded, unaware that that he had committed a taboo.

Jiang Jingchen brought his butler to work and he didn’t do any work. The whole company was laughing at him behind his back. He was just trying to remind him not to embarrass the Jiang family but was scolded by Jiang Xing. What a waste of his good intentions!

If the newly recovered cripple couldn’t work, he should just recuperate at home. Being here was just an embarrassment to the Jiang family. Jiang Minglang’s eyes hurt from looking at him.

Moreover, Song Zhou had made trouble for him last time and made him a dumpee. The woman also almost ran over him with a car!

He would remember this and make them pay!

Jiang Jingchen propped his chin lazily and sighed as if he was bored.

“I’ve just recovered and can’t work long hours. So, 1 asked my butler to help me. I also want to work hard and contribute to Jiang Corporation, but my body can’t take it.”

Mr. Li almost believed his noble-sounding explanation.

How did his body take it so well when played games and ordered people around?

However, he was the first young master of the Jiang family and the CEO had asked him to take good care of him.

Mr. Li smiled to ease the tension. “First Young Master isn’t in a good health but he’s already working hard. I’m touched when I see him try so hard.”

Jiang Jingchen and Song Zhou both looked at him. Tsk, this person was also an excellent actor. He lied without even blinking.

Mr. Li was Jiang Jingchen’s superior. Although the others had their opinions, no one enquired further.

Everyone here was smart. Jiang Jingchen was the first young master of the Jiang family. He had been recuperating for years and had been neglected by Jiang Xing. Now that he had suddenly returned to the country and even worked at Jiang Corporation, his presence was felt once again.

Jiang Xing’s attitude towards Jiang Jingchen was good, so no one at the company dared to provoke Jiang Jingchen. They also wouldn’t embarrass him in case they got into trouble.

When the meeting ended, Jiang Jingchen yawned and walked out slowly with Mr. Li.

“Mr. Li is very eloquent,” he said.

Mr. Li’s eyes twitched. He could hear the sarcasm in Jiang Jingchen’s tone, but who was the person who made him lie?

“I’ll be even more eloquent if the first young master stays out of trouble.”

“Then let’s help each other and live long and prosper!”

Mr. Li wasn’t as tall as Jiang Jingchen. When Jiang Jingchen patted him on the shoulder, he felt his shoulders shrink and his heart was filled with complicated feelings.

Rumor had it that the eldest son and the second son of the Jiang family were fighting for power. Jiang Minglang had already worked at Jiang Corporation for a few years and had a firm foothold. If Jiang Xing handed the reins to Jiang Minglang, the first young master of the Jiang family would be nothing.

However, the person next to him didn’t seem worried at all. He leisurely played games every day and let his butler do all his work.

When Jiang Jingchen got his pay, he even complained that his salary was too low and quarreled with him like an annoying, short-sighted nobody.

However, Mr. Li found his calmness suspicious..
