Exasperated, Ning Ran had no choice but to do as Nan Chen ordered.

However, her hands shook with her rampaging emotions, and it took her longer than usual to finish tying it. The end product could hardly be called a necktie. It was just that ugly.

Untying it, she tried again.

The result was much the same.

Nan Chen had originally planned on showing off Ning Ran’s necktie knotting skills before Qiao Zhan. Unfortunately, she did not perform as expected. It was like watching a car crash about to happen.

Fed up, he swatted her hands away and did it himself.

“Didn’t you have something to report?” he questioned Qiao Zhan with a pointed look.

“The hospital called to say that nobody paid for Ning Ziqiang’s hospital bill. The police are unwilling to pay for him either, so...”

“Have someone handle it.”

“Then will you be heading over to visit him?”

Ning Ran interrupted their conversation, “There’s no need for that. You don’t have to bother with the medical bill either. I gave him five thousand last night, which should be more than enough for him to pay his own bill. He’s just taking advantage of his age and playing as the poor old man who nobody cares for.”

“You can’t ignore him,” Nan Chen warned.

It took barely a second for Ning Ran to understand his meaning. “You’re right. If I ignore him, he’s definitely going to continue complaining to the media that I don’t care for him enough to pay for his bills. I have to meet with him and find out what he wants. Just how long is he going to torture me for!”

Nan Chen kept silent. Ning Ran had already said what he wanted to express, so there was no need for him to speak anymore.

She was the first person after Jiang Zhe who knew what he was thinking and would say it for him. With these two people as his mouthpieces, he would be able to keep his silence. For someone who did not like to talk much, this was perfect.

“Shall we go to the hospital now?” Qiao Zhan queried.

“Bring Ning Ziqiang somewhere else, and we’ll be there shortly,” Nan Chen replied.

“Got it.”

Seconds after Qiao Zhan left, Jiang Zhe came in.

He was visibly puzzled to see Ning Ran present. Despite that, he still smiled and greeted her politely, “Hello, Ms. Ding.”

She nodded at him.
