"What could possibly happen to me? Maybe someone is thinking about me."

Li Chengqian is still very confident about his physical condition.

Chapter 285 Sick

Dong dong dong

"Andy, um, Mr. Koch is here too."

It was Tan Zongming who knocked on the door and walked into the ward. He was holding a bouquet of carnations in his left hand and a fruit basket in his right hand. He seemed very casual at first; but when he saw Li Chengqian feeding Andy an apple, he became a little at a loss as to what to do.

"Old Tan, why are you here?"

Seeing Tan Zongming's embarrassment, Andy's words helped him out.

"I heard you were sick, so I came to see you. You are the representative of Koch Industries. If something unexpected happens and Mr. Koch is unhappy, I will never dare to go to America next time."

Although he was still a little afraid of Li Chengqian, this was in China and he had the home advantage. Tan Zongming adjusted his mentality and joked with a smile.

"Mr. Tan, are you blaming me for not treating you well enough in Kansas last time?"

Heart of beauty in everyone.

Although Li Chengqian is overbearing, he would not harm Tan Zongming just because he has a crush on Andy.

"How dare I, Mr. Koch! Andy and I are Columbia University alumni and have been good friends for many years. I am sincerely happy for you two to be together."

Be able to take it and let it go; Tan Zongming's operation can be said to be a textbook example of a man who knows the times and is a hero.

"Old Tan, how is your investigation into Xiao Ming's case going? Do you have any news?"

Andy did not deny her relationship with Li Chengqian, but instead asked about her brother. After all, this was her original purpose for returning to China this time.

"I have some clues. Based on the information you provided, I asked someone to find the welfare home in Daishan. Their director should be the Director Xiuyuan you mentioned."

"Is Director Xiuyuan still in that orphanage? She is such a good person. She was very patient and kind to each of us children back then."

For Andy, if the days in the welfare home were compared to a cold winter, then Director Xiuyuan was a ray of warm sunshine in the cold winter, softening her young heart and accompanying her through the most difficult years.

"Do you have any other news?"

Seeing that Tan Zongming seemed to be hesitant to speak, Andy continued.

"Wei Guoqiang will attend Koch Industries' donation ceremony tomorrow. If you want to meet him, I can help arrange it."

Different from the original drama, because the time was shorter this time, Tan Zongming only found the person, but did not know much about Andy's mother's medical history; so he did not intend to stop the father and daughter from meeting.

"Chengqian..."

Seeing Andy's attitude of following Li Chengqian's opinion, Tan Zongming couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Is this still the ice beauty I know? First warn me that William Koch is dangerous, and then turn around and throw himself into his arms.

Woman, your name is duplicity.

"Then let's meet. Some things are better to be discussed face to face, so as to avoid any irreparable regrets."

Li Chengqian's words were absolutely true. Through the information provided by Skynet, he had confirmed that Andy's father, a high-ranking official, had a tainted background. It was only because no one was investigating him at the moment, otherwise they would have confirmed it.

With all the mess he has done, without someone of high importance standing up for him, it is inevitable that he will end up in jail; so tomorrow's meeting might be one of the few times the two of them meet.

Magic City Museum

If the cocktail party at the Kempinski Hotel two days ago was a gathering of the business community in Shanghai, then today's gathering included upper-class people from all walks of life in Shanghai.

"Mr. Wilson, on behalf of the Magic City Museum, I would like to thank your company for its gift to us."

Compared to young people who like to look forward to the future, older people tend to reminisce about the past; Yang Zigang felt a lot after taking over the bronze animal head from Wilson.

This is just the beginning. One day, our descendants will work hard to take back what we have lost.

"I just followed Mr. Koch's instructions and returned the property to its original owner."

Harry Wilson spoke good Chinese, and his words "the property should be returned to its original owner" made many people present smile with satisfaction.

"Taking advantage of today's auspicious day when the Sheep Head returns to China, I have two good news to announce."

Harry Wilson was not idle. He continued to speak in fluent Chinese.

What does this old man want to do? This was not part of the originally agreed donation ceremony.

Although Yang Zigang was a little unhappy that Harry Wilson did not play by the rules, he did not stop him immediately out of respect for his guest.

"The first thing is that since Koch Industries acquired Nokia's mobile phone business, after more than a year of careful research and development, it is finally time for the first generation of the phone, Noah, to be released to everyone."

Oh, so they are using this occasion to advertise. The Americans really won’t do anything without a profit. But for the sake of this sheep’s head, I will endure it.

Yang Zigang thought so.

After all, it was not the time to launch the mobile phone yet. Harry Wilson just stopped there. His final words, "The donation ceremony is over. Please go to the front desk with your invitation letter to get your mobile phone," won him rounds of applause.

Most of the people who participated in this donation ceremony were either rich or noble, and naturally they had enough money to buy mobile phones; but Chinese people basically believed in one saying: I can choose not to accept it, but you cannot choose not to give it.

"People may have national boundaries, but charity should not have national boundaries. My third good news is that Mr. William Koch, the chairman of our Koch Industries, has invested 5 million US dollars to establish a charity fund to specifically support orphanages and Hope Projects in remote areas of the mainland."

Koch Industries has big ambitions.

This is the first reaction of most people off the field. After all, who would believe that a foreigner would spend a lot of money to come to China for charity? Isn't it just to win favor and then make a lot of money from us Chinese?

William Koch, this must be him, right?

No wonder that bastard got mad when I gave him the money.

Daisy was also in the crowd, she was attending the ceremony as a representative.

He's clearly in China, but he's still in Shanghai; he didn't attend the cocktail party the day before yesterday, nor did he participate in today's donation ceremony. That bastard is really arrogant.

I don’t know where he is today or what he is doing now?

What was Li Chengqian doing? He had accompanied Andy back to the hotel half an hour ago.

Speaking of scumbags, who is the real scumbag?

He considered himself to be a leader in this industry, but today, Li Chengqian met an opponent who was equally matched with him.

Your grandmother is a psychopath, your mother is a psychopath, your brother is a psychopath, and in the near future you will also become a psychopath.

Although Wei Guoqiang did not say it explicitly, this is what he meant between the lines.

"Cheng Qian, I've actually felt it myself. My emotions have been particularly out of control over the past two years. Do you think it will be like what he said? It won't be long before I become a lunatic."

Leaning in Li Chengqian's arms, Andy said with despair.

"Do you want to know what happened to the Koch family a year ago?"

"what"

“There are actually genetic diseases in our family.”

It's nothing to create something out of nothing. In order to comfort the girl in his arms, Li Chengqian started to get sick.

Nowadays, young people living in this high-pressure, fast-paced urban circle all have some mental illness.

As a time traveler, Li Chengqian feels that he also has illnesses: paranoia, schizophrenia, mania, ADHD, etc.

"When I was very young, I found that I could learn everything very quickly, whether it was language, art, biology, physics, chemistry, or anything else. As long as I wanted to learn something, I could get started, master it, or even master it in a short period of time.

At first I thought it was a talent given to me by God, until the day my mother passed away when I was ten years old.

Li Chengqian's acting skills are at their best, and a patient who has been troubled by a family genetic disease for many years immediately appears in front of Andy.

"Your mother died so early, too?"

Andy had no idea that Li Chengqian was a top-level liar, and a feeling of sympathy surged in her heart again.

"Well, it was also at that time that I met old Koch for the first time. Like the man you just met, he did not give me the fatherly love I had longed for, but told me bad news: the curse of the Koch family."

"what is that?"

"Progeria. While God has gifted us with unparalleled talents, it has also shortened our lifespan. Normally, men in our Koch family would not live past 50."

Lai Yaoer, it’s decided that it’s you.

"But wasn't old Koch already in his seventies when he passed away last year? Many other members of the Koch family also died when they were over 50."

"They took a drug, a drug with serious side effects. It can infinitely magnify a person's dark side, lust, tyranny, arrogance, greed. Like them, I have also begun to change beyond recognition in the past two years."

I'm actually a good person, but I'm sick.

Li Chengqian has already started looking for excuses for making mistakes in the future.

"My mother couldn't stand the fact that old Koch was getting more and more crazy, so she left the Koch family after she became pregnant with me.

If one day, I also become more and more crazy, will you leave me? "

"Cheng Qian, technology is so advanced nowadays, new drugs will appear every once in a while. With the strength of Koch Industries, we will definitely be able to develop drugs without side effects in the near future. By then, your disease will no longer be a disease."

The offensive and defensive situations changed. Andy, who was originally worried that he would become a psychopath, began to comfort Li Chengqian.

Indulgence and venting, it wasn't long before the most primitive battle of mankind began in the room, just to vent the troubles in the hearts of the two.

Chapter 286 Getting better

Unlike Li Chengqian who fell ill out of nowhere, Andy, who actually had a family history of hereditary mental illness, was ultimately unable to completely untie his knot through a conversation or an exercise.

During the following period of time, she tried every way to keep herself busy, as if only work could make her forget all her worries.

Li Chengqian did not intervene too much. He said he had already tried his best to persuade him. If he still couldn't get over it, there was nothing he could do. Besides, he also wanted to take advantage of this free time to develop a new map.

"Beauty, what a coincidence. I'm in trouble again. Do you need my help?"

Love Bar

At the same time and place, Li Chengqian met Daisy again.

What a coincidence! Daisy has been waiting for him here for a week.

"It's really a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet a big shot like Mr. Koch twice in such a small bar."

The reason why Daisy lives such a clear and carefree life is that she is good at seizing every opportunity.

Although Ye Jinyan gave her a good stage to perform, who would be willing to give up if there were better options?

"I'm not a big shot, I'm just an idler. Waiter, give me a glass of whiskey."

"He donated the animal heads and established a charity fund. Is Mr. Koch optimistic about the mainland market?"

There is no such thing as a free lunch. In order to get what she wants, Daisy begins to lead the conversation.

"Of course, as the world's second largest economy, the mainland is an important market that Koch cannot do without."

Li Chengqian took a sip of the wine in the glass and replied.

"The Noah first-generation machine you just developed is really good. Its performance in all aspects is much better than the sixth-generation machine of Fruit. I believe your goal will be achieved soon."

As she spoke, Daisy showed off her new cell phone, which was the gift she got from the donation ceremony that day.

"I'll take your good words. But after all, I've told you everything. Shouldn't you introduce yourself as well?"

Last time he got straight to the point, this time Li Chengqian plans to proceed step by step.

"My name is Daisy. I used to work in a real estate company, but now I'm unemployed."

"You're unemployed, right? You're so capable, which boss would fire you?"

"Couldn't I have fired him?"

Chinese characters are profound and extensive. Daisy finally understood Li Chengqian's underlying meaning. She glanced at him angrily and said.

"Okay, okay, what's next? Do you plan to take a break for a while, or start looking for another job right away?"

They are all foxes of thousands of years, what kind of chat are you doing?

At this time, Li Chengqian could already smell the strong aroma of green tea, but who told him that he liked drinking tea? Green tea is good, it won't be a psychological burden, so he continued to speak according to Daisy's meaning.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Actually, I originally had a personal plan, but something happened recently that forced me to leave my current company."

"Would you mind telling me about it? I'm a good listener."

"it's here?"

Daisy smiled slightly.
