Chapter 204: Just some business
[PRESENT]
As soon as Elaina realized the presence of Li Wei near her, she was dumbfounded. How the hell did he enter the room?! She was sure that she had locked it before coming inside the room, then how is he here?
Did he unlock the door from outside?
But this thought seemed undignified and absurd at his part, but what if he had?
Elaina gulped, getting up from the position with a strong jerk; she looked at Li Wei with confusion and anger as well.
As Elaina got up from the bed, Li Wei had to take his head backwards, if not, Elaina would have bumped her head from his chin, that would be painful for her and somewhat for him.
"How did you come into my room?" Elaina asked in her husky voice that had been like this because she had just got up from her sleep.
"You are wrong, dear. It is 'our' room," Li Wei said as he corrected the mistake in Elaina's words.
Listening to this, Elaina rolled her eyes and then said, "Whatever. But first answer my question."
"As for the answer to your question, of course-," Li Wei paused in the middle of the sentence, creating suspense.
Elaina raised her eyebrow at this, she was unaware that Li Wei had something more to tell, for her it was as if he was telling her that she guessed right when she thought that he had unlocked the door from outside.
Elaina was ready to hit Li Wei when he said, "Not,"
"Huh?"
"Of course not! I was always in this room," Li Wei said with a smirk.
"What-"
Elaina seemed confused, but soon understood what Li Wei meant. This meant that Li Wei was already in that room when she had entered the room.
He must have been in the bathroom that is why she was not able to notice his presence, and also she was so tired that she must have not bothered to check the room. Old Ye also didn't notify her because Elaina was in a hurry.
Face palming herself, Elaina didn't do anything but nodded.
As she was thinking what to do, an idea popped in her mind. This was the perfect opportunity to ask Li Wei about buying the shares of the First Hospital.
Clearing her throat, Elaina said as she turned towards Li Wei who was still sitting with his hand supporting his head, starring at her.
"I need a favor from you," Elaina said.
As she said this, Li Wei was surprised and his eyebrow rose, but with he was happy that she had decided to finally talk to him and ask him for help.
Expecting that it must be something important, Li Wei changed his expression to the expressionless face that he always carried and said, clearing his throat, "Hmm, What is it?"
"I need you to buy the shares of the First hospital," Elaina said putting forward her request.
"But why?" Li Wei asked, as he could not understand why Elaina wanted him to buy the shares of the First hospital that he had already given to her.
"I can't tell you that," Elaina said, as she seemed determined.
This in turn added more suspicion to Li Wei's part. He could not understand why she wanted him to buy the shares of the First hospital, he was curious to know that, but also knew that he can't force her to tell him about this, but an idea strucked into his mind.
THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY! THIS IS IT!
Li Wei was thinking about how to ask Elaina about going to the Amusement Park but here it looks like the opportunity has come knocking at his door.
With a confident smile, and hiding it quickly, Li Wei said with the businessman aura surrounding him becoming stronger, "Hmm, ok I won't ask if you say so. But one thing! What will I get from buying the shares of the First Hospital? I am sure you must be aware that investing in First Hospital is nowhere related to the requirements of the First Hospital. So once again I will ask you. What will I get in return?"
At this sentence of Li Wei, Elaina seemed to have no words to answer with. But she can't also let go this opportunity as well. If she was successful in making Li Wei buy the shares of the First Hospital, the Cinq would be able to carry out the investigation without any obstruction and any interference by Zhen Dong, safely.
With nothing coming into her mind, Elaina said what first came to her lips.
"I'll give you anything that is in my limits, just buy the shares of the First hospital," Elaina blurted out.
THAT'S IT! GOTCHA!
Li Wei had an instant smile on his face, as soon as he heard Elaina's words.
"Now if you say so. I won't ask for much. I just need your one full day in return of buying the shares of the First Hospital," Li Wei said.
Elaina was dumbfounded at Li Wei's condition.
Her one day? Just what was he thinking! And from nowhere this seemed to be something good.
But he had agreed to buy the shares of the First Hospital, which was the main purpose of the conversation.
After a moment, Elaina said, "Fine. I accept it."
As soon as Elaina declared her decision, Li Wei smiled and said, "Then, it's good."
Before their conversation can go any further, there was a knock on the door.
It was Old Ye, who said, "Sir, Madam. The dinner is ready."
Elaina heard this and looked at the clock. It was indeed the time of the dinner.
"Yes, we will be there," Li Wei said as he got up from the bed and then said, "Let's go."
Elaina nodded and then after which, they both went downstairs for the dinner. The dinner also went peacefully, and Old Ye was happy to see the awkwardness between the couple vanishing.
Elaina and Li Wei decided at the date of day after yesterday, because it was important for both of them to wrap their work before taking a one-day leave.
THE NEXT DAY
Elaina and Li Wei followed the same routine as previous day that was they both had breakfast together and then departed for work almost at the same time.
At the Global Med Healthcare building
Elaina went to the same meeting room where as always every member of the Cinq was already present.
Elaina didn't beat around the bush and said, "Li Wei has agreed to buy the shares of the First Hospital."
But as soon as all of the people sitting in the meeting room heard this, their faces dropped.
At this reaction of the people, Elaina was dumbfounded.
"Why? Is this bad news?" Elaina asked.
"No it is not a bad news but we are surprised how Li Wei agreed to buy the shares of the First hospital so easily?" Iris said as she interpreted the words in everyone's mind.
Now, this time, Elaina's face dropped.
They all saw through it! Now she will have to tell them about Li Wei's condition and she was sure that they would not allow this.
Quickly turning her expression into normal and expressionless, Elaina said, "So? Where you all expecting him to buy the shares of the First hospital after I get on my knees and beg? You all must be kidding."
"I wish we were, but we aren't. I am damn serious about this Elaina. Are you hiding something from us? I think you not telling us everything," Alex said as he sounded both worried and curious.
"You all aren't thinking this, you all are delusional. I am not hiding anything. I am telling you all that kept the offer in front of him and he accepted it. Is this so hard to believe in?" Elaina said.
"Fine, if you say so. But make sure if this delusion became reality, you will be done for. Understand?" Reyansh said.
Elaina rolled her eyes and just nodded.
"Also, I won't be coming to work tomorrow. I have some important business to attend," Elaina notified.
And this was enough to make Ethan and everyone's jaw drop.
"What is this reaction?" Elaina said and this time she sounded irritated.
'Y-you! Are you sure you don't know?" Ethan was the one to say this.
"If I would have known, why the hell would i bother to ask?" Elaina said.
"This is the first day off that you have asked," Iris said.
Elaina had a confused expression on her face,"Guys are you all in your right mind? I don't come to office when I am on business trips."
"That won't be counted because that was for the business trips, and from what I remember we don't have any business trips scheduled tomorrow. So where are you going?" Iris asked as she had a curious expression on her face.
"Do I need to notify it? It is just some business I need to attend. Nothing important."
