Chapter 134: Chen Yang, Just How Capable Are You?

Han Qin and Han Xiang both turned to look at Chen Yang with expressions of astonishment.

Han Qin winked at Chen Yang and asked with a smile, "Chen Yang, what did you just say?"

"I said, since Auntie has been wanting to pursue advanced studies at Boji Hospital but hasn't been able to find a way in, I happen to know how. I can help her," Chen Yang replied with a faint smile.

"You know how? Who are you going to ask?" Han Qin asked curiously.

"Mr. Shen, of course. He knows so many people in the capital. As long as we ask for his help, this will definitely be resolved," Chen Yang chuckled.

In truth, Chen Yang was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes at Boji Hospital. However, not wanting to reveal his own influence just yet, he attributed everything to Shen Donghua.

Upon hearing this, Han Qin immediately turned to Han Xiang and said, "That’s right, sister! Chen Yang has a good relationship with Mr. Shen. If we ask him to help, this will surely work out."

Although Han Xiang desperately wanted Chen Yang’s help, her pride made her look at him with a dismissive expression. "Just him? Can he really pull it off?"

"Auntie, if you don't trust me, then let’s just forget it," Chen Yang said with a relaxed smile. He thought to himself that if she wasn't willing to lower her pride and ask for his help, it would save him the trouble.

"Hmph, I don't need you; I can find someone else," Han Xiang retorted indignantly.

Chen Yang grinned at his mother and said, "Mom, it seems Auntie is quite capable after all. Since she doesn't need my help, I won't bother."

Han Qin looked at Han Xiang anxiously. "Sister, why be so stubborn at a time like this? If there’s a way, just take it."

"No need, sister. It doesn't matter to me anyway," Han Xiang said dismissively.

"Are you sure it doesn't matter?" Han Qin looked intently into her eyes.

Han Xiang nodded. "Yes, it doesn't matter."

"Fine, fine. If it truly doesn't matter, then we’ll drop it. Just don't regret it later," Han Qin said seriously.

A flicker of sadness passed through Han Xiang’s eyes. In reality, it mattered a great deal to her. Like everyone else, she had dreams, and studying at Boji Hospital had always been hers. She longed for this opportunity; she wasn't indifferent at all.

Noticing Han Xiang’s reluctance to let go, Han Qin sighed. "Look at you, you still can't let it go, can you?" She then turned to Chen Yang and said, "Chen Yang, why don't you help your aunt?"

"Mom, I can certainly help, but I want to hear my aunt ask me personally," Chen Yang replied with a smirk.

He knew Han Xiang still hadn't set aside her pride, and that wouldn't do. He needed her to humble herself and ask him directly.

"Chen Yang, you shouldn't pressure Mom like that!" Su Xiaoling interjected, glaring at him angrily.

Chen Yang glanced at her and chuckled, "As expected, you're all the same—incredibly stubborn."

"Chen Yang, fine, I’m asking you for help. If you can really get me that opportunity at Boji Hospital, I’ll treat you to a meal," Han Xiang said, turning toward him.

Chen Yang grinned. "Alright, Auntie. Since you’ve said that, I’ll do my best."

Han Xiang looked a bit awkward. Although she had asked for his help, it still felt strange, stifling, and frustrating.

"Chen Yang, now that Mom has asked, you’d better do a good job," Su Xiaoling said, pouting from the sidelines.

"Look, you're calling me 'Chen Yang' again. It hasn't even been a month since that bet, has it? Shouldn't you be calling me brother-in-law?" Chen Yang teased, raising an eyebrow.

"Brother-in-law, happy now?" Su Xiaoling said with an impatient, helpless expression.

Chen Yang chuckled and said nothing more. Thinking of the study opportunity, he figured Lin Qianyao could handle it, so he sent him a text message. He knew his own capabilities far exceeded those of Han Xiang’s family. What they considered an insurmountable task was, to him, nothing more than a flick of a finger and a simple text.

After sending the message, Chen Yang smiled at Han Xiang. "Auntie, just sit back and wait for the good news."

"Chen Yang, are you really that confident it will work?" Han Xiang asked skeptically.

"Yes," Chen Yang replied with a firm, short nod. The brevity of his answer carried a weight that reflected his inner confidence.

"That's good then," Han Xiang said softly. As she turned away, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

The atmosphere in the hospital room was exceptionally harmonious.

Meanwhile, at Qin Guofu’s villa, he was sitting on the sofa watching television when his son, Qin Chao, rushed in excitedly. "Dad, great news! Truly great news!"

Qin Guofu, who was already fed up with his son, didn't even lift his eyelids. "What’s with all the fuss? Speak slowly."

Qin Chao stood before him, beaming. "Dad, Young Master Yu Fanwei from the Yu family just called me. He said his third uncle has arrived in Linhai and will be coming to see you tonight. He also mentioned that the Yu family intends to help you revive the Qin Group!"

"Revive the Qin Group? Did Yu Fanwei really say that?" Qin Guofu asked, visibly agitated. The collapse of the Qin Group was a thorn in his side; only by reviving it could he pull that thorn out.

Qin Chao nodded enthusiastically. "That’s exactly what he said. It seems genuine."

"But there’s no such thing as a free lunch. There must be conditions," Qin Guofu murmured.

*Knock, knock, knock.*

As if on cue, a knock echoed at the door. Realizing it might be the Yu family, Qin Guofu urged, "Chao, hurry and open the door!"

Qin Chao rushed to open the door and found Yu Chengyi standing there with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face. Seeing it was him, Qin Chao hurriedly stepped aside. "Welcome, welcome, Master Yu! Your presence brings great honor to our home. Please, come in!"

Yu Chengyi walked into the living room with a smile. Qin Guofu immediately stood up from the sofa, looking tense. "Yu... Third Master Yu."

Yu Chengyi approached him. "I hope I’m not disturbing you by stopping by so late?"

"Third Master, you joke! Please, have a seat," Qin Guofu replied quickly.

Yu Chengyi sat on the brown leather sofa and skipped the pleasantries. "Mr. Qin, I’ve come here to establish a partnership with your family."

Eager to hear about the revival of the Qin Group, Qin Guofu said nervously, "Please, go on."

Yu Chengyi said calmly, "I am aware that the Qin Group went bankrupt due to a broken capital chain. My family happens to be looking to establish a subsidiary in Linhai to handle some affairs for us, and I thought of your group."

"First, the Yu family is willing to provide the capital to revive the Qin Group. In exchange, I need you to help us resolve some troubles and, in the future, generate profit for our family."

"The first task is to deal with Chen Yang and Qin Muxue. Once the company is back on its feet, I want you to make trouble for them every single day. I want you to hound them until they make a mistake."

"As for future tasks, I will inform you separately. Simply put, we cooperate, support each other, and make money together. Are you interested?"

Qin Guofu was overjoyed. He had been longing to hear that the Qin Group would be revived. The conditions—harassing Chen Yang and Qin Muxue and working for the Yu family—seemed like a small price to pay, and quite beneficial to both parties.

"It is a rare honor that you think so highly of my family, Mr. Yu. I am truly flattered," Qin Guofu said, clenching his fists in excitement.

Yu Chengyi smiled craftily. "So, it seems you agree, Mr. Qin?"

Qin Guofu replied with an earnest look, "Partnering with you is exactly what I’ve been dreaming of."

Yu Chengyi clapped his hands and laughed. "Excellent, Mr. Qin. That is exactly the attitude I was hoping for."

Rubbing his hands together nervously, Qin Guofu added, "To be honest, the bankruptcy of the Qin Group has always been a thorn in my side. If you can help revive it, you will be the great benefactor of my family."
