Chapter 225: Resignation
Perhaps it was because her attitude was firm and aloof enough. Qiao Haidong didn’t pester her for long and left shortly after making a fuss.
Qiao Yin quickly prepared breakfast and checked in her grandmother’s room, she was already awake.
“Yinyin, I thought I heard people arguing outside just now. What happened?”
“Nothing, it was just a salesperson. I made him leave.”
“Living alone, you really should be more careful. Don’t open the door for strangers easily.”
“I know!”
Qiao Yin assisted her grandmother to stand up, somewhat expectantly: “Could you try walking now?”
Shen Yujun got out of bed and tried to walk a few steps, “Not bad, it’s just that my leg is still numb. If you assist me, I can move around. I can’t stay in bed for all these days, I am not used to lying down that long.”
Qiao Yin laughed: “You’re just too diligent, you can’t rest. Most people would love to lie in bed all day!”
The grandmother and granddaughter chatted and laughed for a while, then went to wash up.
After breakfast, Qiao Yin drove her grandmother out.
She had her eyes on two properties, planning to show them both to her grandmother and let her choose one suitable for the Medical Clinic.
By the time they had viewed both properties, it was already noon.
Her grandmother had already chosen a storefront. She chose a ground floor property with over two hundred square meters of space.
Qiao Yin was planning to choose the other one because it had two floors which would be suitable for segregating patients.
But her grandmother insisted on selecting the single-storey property. She explained that some older patients may find climbing stairs difficult. Upon hearing this reasonable explanation, Qiao Yin agreed to select the single floor property.
This storefront had been a clinic in the past and its layout was practical. They only had to make simple renovations before it could be used.
The new clinic was much larger than her grandmother’s old clinic. She had previously thought that the old clinic was too small, so she was very satisfied with the new place.
Once they finished selecting the location, Qiao Yin drove her grandmother home.
She gave Lu Yanxi a phone call.
“Yan Xi, I plan to practice medicine in the future. I’m going to start a clinic with my grandmother, so I’m afraid I will need to resign from the auction house.”
Lu Yanxi knew about this earlier, so she wasn’t surprised by this. She was still bubbly as she responded: “What do you mean ‘resign’? Second Sister-in-law, you are a major shareholder in my auction house! You need to manage the clinic while also helping the auction house. I will distribute profits to you every month!”
Qiao Yin laughed: “The major shareholder of your auction house is my grandmother, not me. I merely signed on her behalf.”
“Oh come on, it’s all the same! Anyway, I will still ask for your help whenever there’s an issue. You can’t refuse me.”
“I would refuse anyone but you. Don’t worry. If there’s anything, just let me know. If not, you can visit me at the clinic.”
Lu Yanxi was very happy: “That’s settled then!”
“It’s settled. Right, did you lend Chen Yuan money the other day as he requested?”
“I did lend him the money.”
Qiao Yin was startled: “You lent it to him? Where did you get the money?”
“I sold some of my jewelry and handbags and gathered one million.”
“You…”
Qiao Yin was at a loss for words.
“Hey, it’s alright. I know you’re always worried that I’ll get scammed, but trust me, Chen Yuan isn’t that kind of person, really! I lent him another one million, and he’s so grateful that he calls me every day to say thanks. He told me that he’s already partnered with someone to start a business. As soon as he has the money, he will repay me immediately.”
“What if he loses money in his business?”
“Second Sister-in-law!”
Lu Yanxi was upset: “You should not jinx it! Chen Yuan won’t lose money! He is so smart and good natured, he’s bound to make money!”
Qiao Yin hurriedly apologized: “I take back what I said, it was my mistake for speaking before thinking. Chen Yuan will definitely make a fortune!”
Lu Yanxi was easy to console, she was happy again: “Sister-in-law, I can feel that Chen Yuan’s affection for me is growing.”
“In the past, he spoke very subtly and carefully, avoiding saying anything that might be interpreted as flirtatious.”
“Yesterday, he said that he missed me! It was so sweet, Second Sister-in-law..”
