Chapter 1312: Chapter 1312: New Candidate for CEO of Shengling Group Chapter 1312: Chapter 1312: New Candidate for CEO of Shengling Group Lu Mingzhen shook his head, “I don’t feel unwell, I came to you because I wanted to talk about something else.”

Lu Lingche almost immediately perceived his biological father’s scheming and looked at him coldly, “What could you possibly have to discuss with her? Speak to me directly if there’s something. She’s busy treating patients and doesn’t have the time to chat with you.”

Qiao Yin, however, had already subconsciously lifted Lu Mingzhen’s wrist and started to check his pulse with the other hand.

Although Lu Mingzhen said that he felt fine, sometimes patients like to act tough and won’t admit when they’re not well.

Just to be safe, it’s better to take his pulse.

After checking the pulse, Qiao Yin breathed a sigh of relief; Lu Mingzhen’s health really wasn’t bad.

She couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s an occupational hazard. You said you were fine but I still wasn’t at ease, so I took your pulse again. Please don’t be offended.”

How could Lu Mingzhen possibly be offended by her? Having such a doctor who worries about his health all the time, he was too grateful to take offense.

In that instant, he even felt a long-lost sense of happiness, as if Qiao Yin was his own daughter. She didn’t treat him as an outsider, lifting his wrist to check his pulse directly, fearing that he might be unwell.

He had long held a high position where others always had to read his moods and speak to him tremulously. Only Qiao Yin did not care about those things; in her eyes, he was no different from anyone else.

Maybe because he had been looking at Qiao Yin a bit too long, the next moment, he heard his son say coldly, “If you’re not sick, what are you doing at the hospital? You’re hindering the doctor’s work, so leave quickly!”

All of Lu Mingzhen’s feelings of happiness drained away, and he glared at Lu Lingche irritably, “I came to find Qiao Yin, not you. Why are you rushing me? Can’t I speak a few words with her? What are you to her, minding other people’s business like that!”

Lu Lingche was momentarily choked up–his biological father really knew where to hit him!

He was her ex-husband!

But he couldn’t mention that as it would be embarrassing for himself.

He gritted his teeth and said, “I’m her assistant! I have a responsibility to help her deal with unnecessary trouble and drive away people with bad intentions!”

Lu Mingzhen’s face turned slightly dark, “Stop spouting nonsense here. How have I become a person with bad intentions? Watch your words!”

Qiao Yin had been staying with the Old Madam these past few days, and Lu Mingzhen had also been visiting her every day, so he encountered Lu Lingche daily. However, whenever they met, they both ignored each other.

She never expected that they would run into each other at her hospital and even start arguing!

She quickly tried to smooth things over, “Alright, let’s both say a little less. Uncle Lu, is there something you wanted to discuss with me? Should we talk in private?”

She meant to speak without Lu Lingche around.

But Lu Mingzhen waved his hand, “No need, we can talk here. It’s nothing major.”

He was joking; his intention was to have Lu Lingche hear the conversation. If he avoided Lu Lingche, the effect would be lost.

Qiao Yin nodded, “Okay, I’ll make you some tea. Please have a seat and we can talk.”

As she spoke, she went to boil water.

Lu Lingche, however, put his hand on her shoulder and pressed her to sit on the sofa, “I’ll do it. President Qiao, have you forgotten that I am your assistant?”

Qiao Yin didn’t forget; it’s just that she really couldn’t act so freely with an assistant in front of Lu Mingzhen.

But since Lu Lingche took the initiative to boil the water, she stopped fussing about it and turned to speak with Lu Mingzhen.

“Uncle Lu, I’ve been to your hospital several times now, and I’ve noticed new changes each time. You manage the hospital quite well. You seem to have a real talent in this area.”

Facing praise from a top business magnate, Qiao Yin was quite embarrassed, “Although I’m happy with your compliment, I feel a little uncertain inside. I wouldn’t dare claim any business talent in front of you; it’s the team’s effort. My management skills are far from yours.”

Lu Mingzhen was a business genius. Over the past decades, he had always maintained a keen business acumen and had made several bold reforms for the Group. Otherwise, Shengling Group could not have continued to thrive and maintain their unbeatable record as the number one business empire.

“You don’t need to feel uncertain or be modest. If I say you have talent, then you truly possess it. You are an uncut gem that just needs a little more experience to mature.”

Lu Mingzhen flashed a faint smile, “So, I want to ask you, are you interested in the CEO position at Shengling Group?”
