Zhang Yunan has savings and doesn't need to receive an advance on his salary. The reason he's short of money is because he needs to transfer his father to a hospital abroad for treatment, and the cost is too high.
There is no cure for silicosis abroad. The only more advanced technique is to inject water into the alveoli after anesthetizing the patient to remove dust. This can slightly restore the air exchange capacity and permeability of the alveoli and improve the patient's chances of survival.
After receiving Lin Yao's assurance, Zhang Yunan immediately believed that the company could cure her father. She rushed back to Shandong overnight and took her father to Chengdu by train as soon as possible. She also specially hired a doctor and two nurses to accompany her. Zhang Yunan's mother also came with her.
According to the common Chinese way of thinking, only one's own relatives will take better care of the patient. This has nothing to do with professionalism or lack thereof, but rather with emotion.
Zhang Yunan and his family were not allowed to watch the treatment process, and Lin Yao did not even let Zhang Yunan know that he was the doctor who performed the treatment.
We still need to be wary of this young man whose background we don't know. If he runs into a blabbermouth, it could have a bad impact. After all, Minhong's corporate image is what it is. If people knew that Minhong had a miracle doctor who could cure all diseases, terminally ill patients from all over the country and even the world would probably be camping out in front of Minhong's factory.
This is different from Gou Xiaogou's situation. "Light Bulb" is a hacker who cannot live in the sunlight. In terms of confidentiality awareness and confidentiality level, he has surpassed Lin Yao. Exchanging identities would not be a loss for Lin Yao, and he does not have to worry about being betrayed.
Because people facing the threat of death are capable of doing anything, and it's almost inevitable. The world is too big and the population too large; we can't expect everyone to be so rational and resigned to their fate. Given even the slightest chance, someone will take action.
Just as Luo Jimin was willing to sign an agreement to transfer shares in order to raise funds to save Lin Yao, if he still lacks money to buy medicine to save his son a year later, Luo Jimin will do something outrageous. He will either force the Luo family to continue to give money or directly sue the court, accusing the other party of falsifying accounts, concealing actual dividends, and embezzling his rightful shares.
In this world, human life is of paramount importance.
Zhang Yunan was very lucky. Not only was his father completely cured, but he also found a good job in a company with a relaxed environment and enlightened leaders, where he could work freely.
Minhong was also very lucky to recruit a good employee who signed a long-term "indentured servitude" contract. Moreover, the employee was highly skilled and willing to work hard. As a result, the redesign and upgrade of the network center began in a big way. With the architecture, database and peripheral system software provided by Gou Xiaogou, it was foreseeable that Minhong would be at the forefront of non-IT professional companies in terms of corporate websites and network technology.
Long Yihun, who had quickly spent sixteen million US dollars, also had good news. Basil Winton successfully persuaded his grandfather and quickly sent the terminally ill South Korean Winton to Chengdu. Both international and domestic flights were chartered, which made the frugal Lin Yao feel the pinch. He felt that he should save this money for Min Hong, because with his elixir, it would be safe to take a regular flight.
Old Winton's heart failure is easy to treat, but that's only true for Lin Yao. For other doctors, it would be an extremely difficult case, since any treatment would be extremely dangerous for a heart that can hardly stop functioning.
After three hours of treatment, consuming one super "Life-Giving Pill" and one ordinary "Life-Giving Pill," old Winton's heart regained its vitality.
Lin Yao also kindly helped Old Winton by using "Dragon and Tiger Pills" to regulate his muscles and bones, a treatment completely free of charge. After all, Old Winton was a celebrity, and his condition had received considerable attention. The old man's fragile bones could no longer withstand the intense work and life he led; curing his illness and artificially improving his health would make him a living advertisement, which would be of great significance for attracting business in the future.
Basil Winton was honored to be the spokesperson for the European and American Angels, a position that didn't come with commissions. This made him feel extremely lucky and excited. Holding a trump card that could determine the life and death of others was incredibly valuable for the heir to the financial committee of this ancient family, because his current position was very unstable, with many enemies eyeing the leadership of the Winton family, and the support he received at such a young age was extremely scarce.
With the identity of an angel's spokesperson, Basil can quickly gain the support of the neutral faction and the opposition's shift to the opposing camp, making her future path smoother.
Lin Yao was happy to help Basil Winton and had him list the territories he was representing. He then informed Nino Cage of these territories and subtly hinted that Nino had other territories abroad, so as not to make him arrogant.
It must be said that Lin Yao's thinking is limited to China and is also influenced by Chinese customs and ways of thinking. For pure Americans, the distinction between public and private matters is very clear, and it is not easy for personal wishes to affect work decisions. With a good 5, Nino Cage is unlikely to develop any arrogance or conceit, and will only treat the endorsement work as a standard business, with no other way.

"Yao'er, why are you dressed like this again? It doesn't look good at all!" Lin Hongmei was wearing a plain-colored long dress, the soft fabric a light blue, which looked refreshing and elegant. Combined with her mature demeanor and bright face, Luo Jimin and his son Lin Yao were somewhat stunned.
This is basically the mature version of the Green Snake. It has lost the awkwardness and naivety of its first arrival in the human world, but still carries the captivating mystery of the mountains and forests.
"My mom's a vixen," Lin Yao thought to himself. Glancing at his father, who was dressed in a suit but looking like a lecherous fool, Lin Yao felt a pang of envy for his father's good fortune with women.
"What's with those expressions on your faces? I'm saying your hoodlum outfit is awful, it's embarrassing to go out with you. People who don't know better would think your dad and I didn't feed you well and that you've fallen on hard times and ended up in South Korea working for a gang." Lin Hongmei poked her son Lin Yao's forehead with her finger, expressing her dissatisfaction.
She was very happy to see her son becoming more and more handsome over this period of time, and felt a sense of pride as a mother. Now, looking back at his previous sloppy appearance, she just couldn't accept it.
"Mom, you're so beautiful!" Lin Yao recovered faster than his father and immediately praised her. "From now on, I'll call you 'sister'. It's a shame to call you my mom. Others should envy me. I'll be a fan of mature women for once."
Lin Hongmei chuckled and pretended to be angry as she scolded, "You have no manners. I think your father didn't raise you well, that you would make such a joke with your mother."
“That’s for sure.” Lin Yao continued to praise, “When you stand next to my dad, he’s like an old cow eating young grass. I don’t know how many bridges and roads my dad built in his past life, that he got such a good deal by finding you, Mom. It’s too good for him.”
Luo Jimin finally came to his senses and looked at his son Lin Yao, who was standing up for Lin Hongmei, and laughed and scolded, "You brat! Without your father's good fortune, where would you be? Not only are you not grateful, but you're also insulting me like this. I think you're asking for a beating."
Seeing the father and son bickering, Lin Hongmei laughed heartily, feeling very happy. She enjoyed the warm family atmosphere and the harmless teasing. "My good son, you're right. Last time I went out to discuss business with your father, the other party asked me in front of him if I had found a girlfriend. Your father's face turned green. You didn't see it, it was absolutely hilarious."
"Why are you saying these things to the child? You're not behaving like a parent at all. I think Yao'er's unruly behavior is all because you spoiled him." Luo Jimin was embarrassed by being told about something shameful, and he couldn't help but think that guy was really annoying. Minhong definitely couldn't cooperate with that kind of person!
What kind of person is he? He's talking about business and then getting into womanizing. This kind of person isn't a good business partner. Luo Jimin made a decision instantly, automatically ignoring the other company's formidable strength. Anyway, there are plenty of capable companies at this time; if he can't choose this one, he can choose another. If all else fails, he can cultivate his own. It's not worth getting angry over.
Luo Jimin wasn't so magnanimous as to ignore the fact that his wife was being spied on, not even for a mere thought. Besides, the guy had already said it out loud, which was the last straw.
Lin Hongmei didn't take her husband's words to heart. She gave Luo Jimin a charming sidelong glance and said to Lin Yao, "Let's go, let's go. Mayor Duan has been waiting for quite a while. This is our first time visiting, so we can't be impolite. Let him be a hoodlum. At least we won't scare Mayor Duan for now. After all, my son is the most handsome young man in the world."
Lin Yao smiled and immediately echoed his mother's words, deliberately looking at his father Luo Jimin and saying, "Mom, you're absolutely right. Your son is the most handsome in the world, and you're the most beautiful."
"Let's go!" Luo Jimin gave a wry smile, shoved his son Lin Yao's shoulder, and shooed him out the door. If he didn't leave soon, he would be late.
"Dad, aren't you hot wearing so many clothes?" Lin Yao was pushed out of the room, turning to look at his father Luo Jimin as he said, "What if Mayor Duan's air conditioner breaks down, or they can't afford to turn it on? Wouldn't you be going to a sauna?"
"No way?" Luo Jimin hesitated, wondering if he should change his clothes. But when he saw his son scratching his cheek, he immediately forgot about changing. He was still bothered by what had just happened. Who said he wasn't good enough for his wife?
"Hurry up, I'll just take off my coat." After punching his son on the back, Luo Jimin finally vented his frustration, thinking that his wife was getting more and more beautiful, and he was truly blessed.
Duan Qing's family lived in the government compound on Wufu Lane, Xihuamen Street, Qingyang District. Luo Jimin's family traveled there by car, naturally in a Toyota minivan, because there were too many people. Although there were only three family members, with the addition of Yi Fei and two bodyguards, plus Ge Yong driving, the number reached an astonishing seven, so they had to make do with the minivan.
Fortunately, Luo Jimin's family doesn't value vanity. Face is something you earn yourself, not something you can maintain with a nice car. Besides, once you get used to a spacious driving environment, those luxury cars worth millions aren't necessarily more appealing.
Although Ge Yong was very busy with many security team management matters, he tried his best to accompany the boss's family, especially when Lin Yao was involved. He insisted on being present, even though he knew in his heart that his abilities were nothing compared to the Yi family, but it was out of goodwill.
The more Ge Yong interacted with Lin Yao, the more he appreciated and liked this younger brother. Although he increasingly felt that he was not worthy of being Lin Yao's older brother, he could still feel the genuine brotherly affection from Lin Yao's attitude towards him.
However, he had to prioritize his work and not let personal feelings interfere with his duties. Therefore, Ge Yong worked even harder to manage the security team, not wanting to embarrass his younger brother or affect Lin Yao's important matters.
Ge Yong had already sensed that Lin Yao's family was preparing to do something big, something big for the country and society, because he had been involved in almost all of Min Hong's affairs, and many things had not been deliberately hidden from him, allowing him to gather enough information to make a judgment.
