Zhang Long glanced at Wang Chao, his face filled with black lines, and thought to himself, "Wang Chao's strength is truly impressive, but unfortunately, he lacks charm!"
"Could his formidable strength be exchanged for emotional intelligence?"
Shen Bing had truly gone all out to support Wang Chao. She staked herself and the Shen family for him. That was a big favor!
Moreover, Shen Bing was an unparalleled beauty, stunningly gorgeous.
If he truly wanted to thank Shen Bing, a typical man's thinking would be to invite her to dinner to express gratitude. But Wang Chao came over with a few pieces of cured meat to show his appreciation.
It was simply strange!
What did he take Shen Bing for?
A foodie?
When Shen Bing saw the cured meat, a strange look flashed in her eyes, but she quickly smiled and accepted it, saying, "Okay, I'll take these cured meats. I happen to want to eat meat recently. Do you have anything else to do?"
"If not, I'm going to a meeting."
"No, I just wanted to give you something to show my gratitude. These cured meats were personally cured by me and they taste quite good," Wang Chao said.
"Then you can keep them. I'll stir-fry them for lunch when I go back."
Shen Bing smiled, tidied up some documents, stood up, and said, "You can talk to Uncle Long. I'm going to the meeting."
Pausing for a moment, she looked back at Wang Chao and said, "Don't forget, accompany me on a business trip in a few days."
After speaking, she took the documents in her hand and left the office.
Wang Chao put down the cured meat and turned to look at Zhang Long. "Uncle Long, why do I feel like President Shen seems a bit unhappy? What's going on?"
Zhang Long had a face full of black lines and glanced at Wang Chao without saying a word.
As a woman, receiving cured meat as a thank-you gift, even I wouldn't be happy!
What's going on?
Don't you understand?
He internally complained while maintaining a calm expression. He walked over to the sofa and sat down, brewed a cup of tea for Wang Chao, and said, "Mr. Wang, do you think our President Shen is beautiful?"
"Beautiful!" Wang Chao sincerely replied.
Among the beauties he had seen, Shen Bing easily ranked among the top ten.
Moreover, Shen Bing was also the richest person in Canton. Her wealth exceeded that of the Dong and Zhao families. She was truly a legendary young rich woman with fair skin and stunning looks.
Zhang Long sighed and said, "Actually, she's also a pitiful person."
Wang Chao sat down, took a sip of tea, and remained silent.
Zhang Long waited for a long time but didn't hear Wang Chao speak. He looked frustrated and said, "Aren't you curious?"
"Of course, I am curious."
"Then why aren't you asking?"
Wang Chao put down the teacup and looked at Zhang Long with a puzzled expression. "You suddenly mentioned President Shen, so it's obvious that you're about to tell me her life story. Am I not just waiting for you to continue?"
Zhang Long was speechless: (￣ェ￣;)
He brewed himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, organized his thoughts, and then began to speak, "I am President Shen's bodyguard and also her godfather. I watched her grow up from a young age."
Godfather?
Zhang Long seemed to be lost in memories and sighed. He said, "Shen Bing has always been lonely. She had few friends since childhood, and now, sitting in this position, she faces a lot of overt and covert struggles. It's tough!"
"Indeed, she faces many difficulties in her position," Wang Chao nodded.
Danfeng Group is a large company that occupies a significant portion of the legitimate business in Canton City. Its daily profits are astonishing.
As the helmsman of the Shen family, Shen Bing earns a tremendous amount of wealth.
Naturally, many people have their eyes on her position!
Especially Shen Dongshan, he probably dreams of pulling Shen Bing down to secure his own position.
Pausing for a moment, Zhang Long continued, "To wear a crown, one must bear its weight! It's normal for President Shen to face such hardships."
Zhang Long nodded in agreement.
Over the years, he had witnessed every hardship that Shen Bing endured and felt a deep heartache for her.
"However, President Shen wields abundant resources and possesses substantial capital. She shouldn't be considered a pitiful person," Wang Chao said.
Shen Bing's achievements definitely made her an exceptional person, a successful individual who many people strive their whole lives to become.
How could such a person be pitiful?
"Don't think that she's not pitiful just because she seems glorious. In her high position, she faces constant threats and struggles, which have left her with few friends."
"But why does she have to hold onto this position? If she were to step back now, she would have already achieved great success," Wang Chao asked.
"Because she wants to hold onto this position, to hold onto the Shen family, until her father returns!"
"Her father?"
"That's why I say she is pitiful. When Shen Bing was young, her mother fell seriously ill, and her father, who is also my sworn brother, disappeared while seeking medicine for her mother."
"Before he left, my brother left a message for Shen Bing, asking her to take care of her mother and her younger brother, and he promised to come back!"
"However, three years ago, her mother passed away due to her illness, and her younger brother became critically ill and was admitted to the ICU."
"Younger brother?" Wang Chao was startled once again.
Shen Bing has another younger brother?
Zhang Long nodded and said, "Yes, her younger brother also suffers from the same rare illness as her mother. His condition is severe, and he's in a coma. Currently, he's in the ICU, and it requires a large amount of money every day to sustain his life."
"That's why she wants to hold onto this position, to earn a substantial amount of money to treat and save her brother's life."
"What kind of illness is it? Which hospital?" Wang Chao asked.
Zhang Long sighed and said, "It's a hospital overseas."
"The medical standards in the country are not sufficient to treat such a rare illness. A year ago, President Shen transferred her brother to a hospital abroad for treatment, and it requires a large amount of money every day."
"But the condition hasn't improved."
"Most importantly, the hospital treats President Shen's brother because of the face of Danfeng Group and the Shen family. If President Shen is no longer the president, they might withdraw the treatment for her brother."
"That's why she goes to great lengths to maintain her position."
"For all these years, except for Liu Yifei and me, no one has stood by her side. However, when it comes to business matters, our ability to help her is limited."
"She has been carrying the burden alone, putting in much more effort and enduring much more pain than others. That's why she has built a cold facade to conceal her vulnerability."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chao fell into a long silence.
He had never expected that Shen Bing would have such a story.
After drinking a cup of tea, Wang Chao asked, "Which hospital is President Shen's brother in?"
"The Republic of Baiying, Massachusetts General Hospital. It's the best hospital globally, and only they can save President Shen's brother's life," Zhang Long replied.
Wang Chao furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Can we get her brother's medical records? I desire to take a look!"
Zhang Long became ecstatic and uttered eagerly, "Yes, I'll arrange it immediately!"
He knew of Wang Chao's miraculous medical skills, which had impressed everyone in the Zhao family, earning him the title of "Divine Doctor Wang."
If Wang Chao intervened, there might be a chance to give Shen Bing's brother a ray of hope!
