Chapter 124 Very Satisfied
Chen Yuan was speechless for a moment.
The system provided it, but didn't specify how much the rent would be.
He stammered and gave a vague answer.
"We haven't discussed the rent yet. This is a friend of mine who works in real estate. He said this apartment is very nice and asked me to come and take a look. I'll show it to you so you can check it out."
"What do you think of this house? What's the location like?"
Su Qingxue didn't suspect anything, but instead pouted and said seriously.
"The location is really great. I believe that if it is managed well, it will definitely become a must-visit spot."
"Really? Now that you say that, I feel more at ease."
"Senior brother, it's mainly because your cooking skills are so good."
After praising her, Su Qingxue suddenly remembered a very important question. She frowned and asked softly.
"Senior, I forgot to ask earlier, what do you plan to do with this shop? Make breakfast? Isn't that a bit of a waste of your talents?"
Chen Yuan said, "I didn't plan to make breakfast, but I haven't decided what to make yet."
The system hasn't given it to me yet!
The system didn't say what to do!
Su Qingxue blinked, then said with a sense of relief.
"No rush. Even if we rent it, it will still take time to renovate. We'll think about it later."
"it is good."
"But senior, you can't skimp on renovations, and you definitely can't slack off. I happen to know two independent designers who specialize in commercial space design; they're skilled and their fees are reasonable. Would you like me to help you get in touch?"
After Su Qingxue finished speaking in one breath, she let out a small sigh of relief.
She found that she was becoming more and more adept at lying to Chen Yuan, and could now do it without batting an eye.
Chen Yuan quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, you've already helped me a lot. Besides, we don't really need a designer, it's too much trouble, and it certainly won't be cheap..."
Su Qingxue, unusually insistent, said, "Senior brother, the storefront is the most important part of a shop. How can we compromise? Good design really attracts people. Please listen to me on this matter, okay?"
"I really want to help you, so please don't refuse me, okay?"
Su Qingxue's voice carried a hint of pleading.
Seeing the other person's unwavering yet concerned gaze, it would be impossible for Chen Yuan not to feel warmth in his heart, and he finally nodded.
"Okay, I'll do as you say, but it's settled then, I'll have to pay for the designer's fee myself, since you haven't graduated from university yet."
"Okay, but now that I've got this done for you, how are you going to thank me?"
Su Qingxue chuckled softly, and was about to say something more when Chen Yuan's phone suddenly rang sharply in his pocket.
"My mom, let me take this first."
"Okay, I'll go take another look over there."
Chen Yuan casually swiped to answer the call.
"Hey, Mom, what's wrong?"
There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone.
Immediately afterwards, a voice filled with obvious panic and sobbing rang out.
"Xiao Yuan, come back soon!"
"Your dad strained his back while moving flowers in the yard. He's in so much pain he's sweating profusely and can't stand up at all!"
Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
"Have you called 120 yet? Call 120 quickly, I'm coming right now!"
"I've arrived at the hospital. The doctor said it might be an acute phase of a lumbar disc herniation, and that the nerve compression is particularly severe, so I need to be hospitalized immediately."
"Anyway, I couldn't understand a whole string of words you said. You'd better come to the orthopedics department of the Second Municipal Hospital right away!"
Chen Yuan's heart sank suddenly, but thankfully, although a herniated lumbar disc can be quite deadly when it flares up, it's not one of those life-threatening illnesses.
He took a deep breath, regained his composure, and then spoke.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
"Oh, right, don't rush over. Go home first and get your bankbook. It's under the mattress. You can find it by looking around."
"Okay, okay, Mom, don't worry."
Although Su Qingxue had moved a few steps away, she could hear Chen Yuan's voice clearly because it was quite loud.
Chen Yuan said apologetically, "I have to go back right away. It seems you'll have to take a taxi back."
Upon learning that it was her teacher who was sick, Su Qingxue hurriedly said...
"Senior brother, why don't I go with you? It's only right and proper that I go and see what's going on, and I can help you with the paperwork and stuff."
Chen Yuan paused, turned around to look at the other person, his eyes filled with gratitude, but he firmly refused.
"Qingxue, I appreciate your kindness, but things are chaotic at the hospital right now, with lots of tests to do. If you go there, you won't be able to take care of things."
"I'll go over and settle things first. If you want to see my dad, you can go after he's recovered in a few days. I'll let you know as soon as there's any news, so don't worry."
Su Qingxue knew he was extremely anxious.
There was no point in saying more, so I could only nod vigorously.
"Okay, then you must drive slowly. If you need my help, be sure to tell me. Don't try to carry it all by yourself."
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Chen Yuan hurriedly responded and ran towards the parking lot.
The van's engine roared, and the vehicle quickly merged into the endless stream of traffic.
Su Qingxue watched the other person leave, her brows furrowed.
After thinking for a moment, she immediately called her brother.
the other side.
Forty minutes later.
Chen Yuan's car had just stopped at the hospital.
He rushed into the lobby and, following the ward number sent by Wang Xiulan, found the orthopedic ward area on the third floor of the inpatient department.
He spotted Wang Xiulan sitting on a plastic bench outside ward 306.
Chen Yuan walked up to his mother in just a few steps.
Wang Xiulan looked up and, as if she had suddenly seen her pillar of support, tears instantly streamed down her face.
"Xiao Yuan, you're finally here! Did you bring the bankbook?"
"I've brought it."
Chen Yuan took out the passbook, handed it to his mother, and then asked in a low voice.
"Mom, don't cry. How's Dad? What did the doctor say? Is it serious or not? Does he need surgery?"
"I just got a painkiller injection, and the pain is a little less now, but my legs are still numb, and I can't move my toes."
Wang Xiulan took a deep breath; her mood was slightly better than before.
"The doctor said a lot, basically saying that the nerve is compressed. It's the acute phase now, so I have to stay in bed and do physical therapy and something to reduce the swelling. After observing for a few days, we'll decide whether or not to have surgery."
"Your dad's back pain is just an occupational hazard."
Chen Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing his anxiety, stood up, patted his mother's back, and comforted her.
"It's okay, Mom, I'm here. Don't worry about this for now. I'll go get Dad admitted to the hospital first."
Done.
Chen Yuan pushed open the ward door and glanced at his father.
Chen Da lay pale on the hospital bed, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.
When she saw her son arrive, she forced a smile.
"Xiao Yuan, it's okay, you just need to rest for a couple of days."
