Chapter 2229 The people in the courtyard are all waiting for you to come home
At this moment, a middle-aged doctor stepped forward, examined Wang Baye's eyelids, and then sighed to the people around him.
"It looks like a final burst of energy before death; he's barely hanging on! Secretary Lin, do you think we should notify his family...?"
When Wang Baye heard this, he was almost scared out of his wits. Was he really going to die? He didn't have any family members at all!
Before Lin Chen could explain Wang Baye's situation to everyone, the old man had already lost his composure!
"Brother Lin, save me! I'll kneel down for you!"
Lin Chen then stepped forward and pressed down on the other person who was about to get up: "I've already performed surgery on you! Old Wang, you have to hold on. If you can just hold on for three more days, you'll get through this. Now it's all up to you!"
Upon hearing that Brother Lin had already performed the surgery, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. With the miracle doctor's intervention, his life was surely saved… as for the rest, he'd deal with it once he stood up.
"Thank you, Brother Lin, but I really didn't want to..."
Lin Chen thought to himself, "Whether you live or die is not up to you. I'm still counting on you to blackmail Chief Li! You should just lie there!"
"Eighth Brother, don't say anything now. Everyone in the courtyard is waiting for you to come back. I believe you can pull through... When you get back, everyone will throw a welcome party for you to get rid of the bad luck."
A welcome dinner is fine, but the food and drinks will definitely be on Wang Baye. After all, everyone's treating you! How could you let them pay? If you have any objections, let Lao Yi and Chen Shitou talk to you. They're professionals at persuasion…
Wang Baye is only thinking about saving his life; he doesn't care about the welcoming feast at all.
From the moment Lin Chen arrived at the hospital, everyone knew the old man's life was definitely saved. After all, over the years, no one who had been personally treated by Secretary Lin had failed to survive.
Wang Baye woke up once in the morning, knowing he was in the same boat as Xu Damao, completely ruined. But the doctor kept sighing and saying his injuries were too severe to save him! So he begged the doctor to send someone to the steel mill to call Secretary Lin... which led to the current scene.
After the doctors gradually left the ward, only Director Yang and Director Ma remained. Lin Chen waved to them, and the three of them left the ward.
As soon as Director Ma stepped out, he began explaining that he knew nothing about the matter.
"I really didn't know anything about Secretary Lin's matter. Tong Zhi and his group were instructed by a man surnamed Wang from the West District. Now Captain Wang has led his men to arrest him..."
Lin Chen glanced at Factory Director Yang with a puzzled expression.
"People from Xicheng District? Let's go to the Xicheng District Public Security Bureau! Our steel mill has no law enforcement authority over this matter!"
Lin Chen then gave Ma a few more instructions on how to care for Wang Baye before leaving the ward area.
Just as the three were about to head to the Xicheng District Public Security Bureau, they encountered Lin Chen's secretary rushing over on a bicycle at the hospital entrance.
"Secretary Lin, Director Yang, please wait a moment."
The three people who were about to open the car door and leave stopped in their tracks. Factory Director Yang and Factory Director Ma watched their hurried secretary with a nervous ache in their hearts. Had something serious happened again?
Lin Chen glanced at his secretary before realizing that someone had invited him to a banquet.
"Secretary Lin just called from Xihuatang to inform you that you need to attend a family dinner tonight."
Factory Director Yang and Factory Director Ma were taken aback at first, then felt a surge of envy... This was a family dinner! Just being able to talk to each other would be enough, let alone eating together.
"I know! Don't rush so much next time. It's only a little past ten o'clock. Are you worried you won't be able to find me?"
Since it was a notification from Xihuatang, the secretary dared not delay for even a minute!
"Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention next time."
After giving his secretary a few more instructions, Lin Chen took the two factory managers and headed to the West District to follow the clues...
Nowadays, there are only male secretaries, no female secretaries, even though An Jie handles most of Lin Chen's work. But a male secretary is still necessary, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.
As for why he attended the banquet, and what kind of banquet it was, Lin Chen didn't say, and no one else dared to ask... but Lao Yang and Lao Ma could guess some of it.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the little one will be starting school soon. Today must be a birthday party!
Six years ago, when Lin Chen visited Xihuatang for the second time, he treated the elderly couple again. One of the greatest joys in life is having a child late in life. Now that the little brother is five years old, he naturally wants to invite his older brother Lin Chen to celebrate his birthday.
This was also the greatest gift Lin Chen had ever given, fulfilling the other person's lifelong regret. The Lin family's smooth sailing over the years hadn't come for nothing... they had close relationships with all sorts of important figures.

This side of the courtyard house
Now Yang Weimin is keeping his word. After the workers left for work, he had Fatty go buy a chicken to make up for it. It was also a reward for Cai Quanwu's performance last night…
However, because Jia Zhangshi wasn't called to stew the chicken today, this infuriated the woman.
"Damn it, this lamb deserves to be beaten... He didn't even invite me to play chicken with him, he's so inconsiderate. It's not my fault you can't win in the arena, why are you giving me that attitude?"
Jia Zhangshi grew angrier the more she thought about it, but she didn't dare to act arrogantly towards Yang Weimin. After all, Director Yang could dismiss her at any time...
Jia Zhangshi angrily came to fetch water in front of the pool in the middle courtyard to prepare lunch, only to find her daughter-in-law leisurely sunbathing at the door.
Jia Dongxu would fill the water tank at home every day and wash all the dirty clothes before going to work. Therefore, the strong-willed Ma Lan could never get Jia Zhangshi to serve her…
After all, these days, whoever provides the benefits is the one who matters, so Tiger's life has been pretty tough.
There are quite a few pregnant women in the courtyard now, but none of them with mothers-in-law are like Jia Zhangshi.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are practically strangers; they're not even as close as the neighbors.
"What's so great about being pregnant with a girl? All you do is boss my son around all day. Isn't Dongxu tired from work? If you're so capable, give me a boy instead."
Ma Lan didn't get angry at Jia Zhangshi's incessant nagging. After all, she really couldn't handle the other woman right now, and if she were to fight, she would only suffer the consequences.
Although she wouldn't lay a hand on him, Sister Lan wouldn't swallow her anger. This was Jia Dongxu's child, so wasn't it only right that he do more work?
"Oh, who's making that noise? It's Banggeng's grandma. I can have whatever I want, what's it to you? You want to have a baby, but you can't get pregnant. Tsk tsk tsk, isn't that infuriating... Jia Dongxu just likes to serve his grandma. You'd better make him stop if you dare."
Jia Zhangshi really wanted to practice on another small scale, but for some reason she just couldn't get pregnant.
Before, when I was with Yi Zhonghai, I was always afraid of getting pregnant, but now it's better that even without any protection, there's no sign of pregnancy.
Ma Lan had already given birth to a son for the Jia family, so Jia Zhangshi couldn't really find fault with her.
Now, after being rebuked by her daughter-in-law, Jia Zhangshi immediately flew into a rage.
"Ma Lan, don't you dare to be so arrogant with me. If you anger me, believe me, I'll beat you up!"
