Chapter 363: Meeting Qin Jiajun Again
Chapter 363: Meeting Qin Jiajun Again
Qin Jiajun stood at the exit of Kyoto International Airport, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the phone case. He didn't even notice it, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
The early autumn sunshine filtered through the glass curtain wall and fell on his tailor-made suit, but it didn't make him feel the slightest bit hot - the uncontrollable excitement in his heart had already overshadowed the temperature outside.
He looked up at the endless stream of people at the exit, and his thoughts unconsciously drifted back to a month ago.
The first time I met Xue Pianpian was at the Ling family’s charity auction party.
At that time, the banquet hall was brightly lit and crowded with celebrities. He had attended with the mentality of socializing, but he couldn't take his eyes off her the moment she raised the sign.
An exquisite embroidered lace evening gown set off her skin, which was whiter than snow. Her every move showed the agility of a business elite, yet also a touch of cool nobility.
She pocketed three items worth over 1 billion yuan without blinking an eye. The audience whispered with amazement. At the time, he only felt that this female chairman of the Haoting Group was truly talented, beautiful and capable. He was impressed, but not to the point of being worried.
What really changed his mind was the subsequent dinner at the Shen family.
When Xue Pianpian calmly said, "I can cure Shen Haoteng's congenital heart disease," he almost thought he had misheard.
He had heard about Shen Haoteng's illness a long time ago. Even the world's top cardiologists were helpless. How could she, a chairman of a business group, dare to make such a boast?
At that moment, the only word left in his mind was "arrogant". He even thought that she was deliberately saying such big words just to attract attention.
But on second thought, what if she really had some ability? The Qin family's current situation did not allow him to miss any possibility.
My grandfather is suffering from a terminal illness. In the past few years, he has traveled all over Europe, America, Japan and South Korea and seen many famous doctors, but his condition has continued to worsen.
The old man is the pillar of the Qin family. If he falls, the foundation of the entire family may be shaken.
With the mentality of giving it a try, he took the initiative to find Xue Pianpian and made a bet - if she could cure Shen Haoteng, all medical institutions under the Qin Group would be willing to give back 30% of their profits to ordinary people.
Thinking about it now, the bet at that time was more like a test of self-comfort, but Xue Pianpian's response surprised him.
The bet he proposed at the time was that if she won, he would give her a hospital under the Qin Group, but she refused without hesitation, and then proposed that if she could win the bet, 30% of the profits of all the hospitals under the Qin Group would be returned to the people.
Her behavior of even making bets for the benefit of the people made him respect her even more.
Last week, news came from the Shen family that Shen Haoteng's heart function had actually improved significantly, and even the attending physician called it a "medical miracle."
At that moment, Qin Jiajun's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally settled down - Xue Pianpian was not bragging, she really had medical skills!
Without waiting for the bet to expire, he contacted her and willingly fulfilled his promise. It wasn't a compromise, but a sincere conviction.
Now, Xue Pianpian is coming to Kyoto to treat her grandfather's illness. This is undoubtedly a life-saving hope for the Qin family.
He deliberately canceled all his plans and arrived at the airport half an hour early. He even left the driver in the car. He just wanted to see her as soon as possible and personally take her to her grandfather.
"Mr. Qin?"
A clear and pleasant female voice came from behind him. Qin Jiajun suddenly came back to his senses and turned around to see Xue Pianpian standing not far away and smiling at him.
She wore a simple white shirt and jeans, with her long hair tied into a ponytail, which made her look less aggressive in the business world and more refreshing and neat.
There were two women standing beside her. The one on the left was dressed in a professional suit and looked like an assistant or secretary.
The one on the right is a gentle woman whose beauty is no less than Xue Pianpian herself.
Although the style of her beauty is different, she is as stunning as Xue Pianpian.
"Mr. Xue, thank you for your hard work along the way!"
Qin Jiajun walked over quickly, his tone unable to conceal his eagerness and politeness.
"The car is already waiting outside. I'll take you to the hotel to unload your luggage and settle down, and then we'll go eat."
Xue Pianpian smiled and said:
"No, Mr. Qin, thank you for picking us up. I have a house here. I'll take my sister home first, and then I'll go see the old man in the afternoon. Just send me the location."
Seeing her calm and composed appearance, Qin Jiajun's anxiety inexplicably dissipated a little, and he also smiled:
"Okay, then let's listen to Director Xue. I'll have the driver take you home first, and then I'll order a table of food and send it over to you."
Xue Pianpian heard this and waved her hand with a smile:
"Mr. Qin, there's no need to be so polite. We can handle it ourselves. You can go ahead and do your work."
The words maintained an appropriate distance and were full of understanding, which instantly dissipated the subtle loss in Qin Jiajun's heart caused by being rejected.
He no longer insisted and just nodded in agreement:
"Then I'll send you the address. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, quickly called up the location and sent it over. As his fingertips slid, he subconsciously confirmed twice whether the address was correct - this kind of meticulousness was rare when he was working on billion-dollar projects in the past.
"Boss Qin, let's meet in the afternoon. We'll be leaving first."
Xue Pianpian pulled Ning Youran into the back seat, Chen Yu sat in the passenger seat, and the driver very consciously put the luggage of the three people into the trunk.
Qin Jiajun watched Xue Pianpian's back disappear in the car with a smile on his face - she had shed the gorgeousness of her evening gown and the sharpness of her suit. Now she was wearing a white shirt and jeans. Her eyes and brows were relaxed, and even her tone of voice was lighter. She looked more like an outstanding graduate who had just left the campus, rather than a legendary figure who could stir up the business world and possess unparalleled medical skills.
Half an hour later, a black sedan slowly pulled into the gate of Feiran Guanlan Community. Walking along the winding asphalt road, neatly trimmed camphor trees flanked the road. Their branches and leaves cast dappled shadows in the early autumn sun. Occasionally, a few golden leaves drifted down, landing on the bluestone walkway, adding a touch of elegance.
The car finally stopped in front of a detached villa. Chen Yu got out first, walked around to the other side and opened the door. Xue Pianpian and Ning Youran got out one after another.
Looking up, this king-class villa is far more magnificent than in the photos.
"This is so beautiful..."
Ning Youran couldn't help but sigh as her eyes swept over the well-arranged green plants in the courtyard - holly trimmed into balls, lavender with small lavender flowers, and several welcoming pines with strong branches, matched with the blue-gray gravel path under her feet, each one exuded the ingenuity of careful design.
However, what caught her eye the most was the sapphire-colored swimming pool. If she wasn't so hungry, she would have wanted to swim a few laps in it.
Xue Pianpian smiled and took her arm.
"Sister, go in and take a look, there are even more local tycoons inside."
After entering the villa, Ning Youran was once again shocked by the scene before her.
The living room with a height of nearly five meters is spacious and bright. The large floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the courtyard. The sunlight shines through the white gauze curtains and falls on the light grey wool carpet, which is very bright and eye-catching.
In the center of the living room is a set of off-white leather sofas, matched with a dark marble coffee table. On the coffee table is a transparent glass vase with a few fresh white gentian in it, exuding a simple yet high-end texture.
Looking deeper into the room, the dining room is connected to the living room. A long solid wooden dining table is large enough to accommodate twenty people. A crystal chandelier hangs above the table. Even though the light is not turned on, it already emits a dazzling luster.
"The master bedroom is on the second floor, it's a full three hundred square meters."
Xue Pianpian introduced a little proudly and took Ning Youran towards the stairs.
The stair handrail is made of brass and is polished to a shine. There is no sound when you step on the solid wooden steps.
When she pushed open the door of the master bedroom, Ning Youran could no longer hide the amazement in her eyes.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows that cover an entire wall is a private terrace furnished with rattan lounge chairs and a small tea table. You can see the top of the camphor tree in the courtyard just by looking up.
In the center of the room is an oversized four-poster bed with off-white bedding embroidered with dark patterns. Next to it stands a row of floor-to-ceiling cloakrooms. When the sliding doors are opened, they are empty.
Ning Youran smiled softly.
"It's such a waste to leave such a big cloakroom empty. I'll go with you to fill it up tomorrow."
"Okay! Then I'll trouble our idol sister to worry about it. I'll only be responsible for trying on clothes and checking out."
