Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1764

Being a medical practitioner, Sasha had taught them a lot about first aid throughout the years.

As such, lan was able to get his wound treated fairly quickly all by himself.

Yvonne, who had been waiting for him outside, asked worriedly when she saw him come out of the room at last, "Mr.lan, are you sure you don't need to get this treated at a hospital?"

"That won't be necessary.Now, let's get down to business," lan replied as he sat down at the table with his laptop.

The employees that came over to help him out knew better than to say anything further as they joined him at the table.

"Mr.lan, what happened is—"

lan, who was still staring at his laptop, cut her off by saying, "You can drop the formalities.From here on, just call me ‘lan."

The employees froze in surprise for a brief moment before smiling again.

"Right, of course.Let us get down to business, then.We've conducted a field study on this project two days ago.We spoke to the person in charge as well, but he raised the price the moment he found out that we're from Hayes Corporation."

"How much?" lan asked coldly without even looking away from his laptop.

Yvonne held up two fingers as she replied, "He's asking for an additional twenty million on top of the original price"

Twenty million? Heh...lan had an icy-cold look in his eyes as he said, "In that case, let him continue to try and sell it.See if he can find another buyer willing to pay that much for it."

"But..."

Yvonne fell speechless upon hearing that.

Another employee from the operational department protested anxiously, "That building is located in a very strategic spot! Someone else will snag it if we don't make our move in time!"

"Why are you being so desperate? They're raising the price ridiculously high precisely because they saw your desperation.Given Hayes Corporation's reputation, no one would dare compete with us if you put word out about this.Besides, if the location really is that great, our company is perfectly capable of setting up another commercial district next to it"

Although lan had only joined the company not long ago, his words had hit the nail on the head and shocked the employees to the core.

That level of brilliance and charisma...He's practically a miniature version of Sebastian Hayes! The apple really doesn't fall far from the tree! The meeting was ended shortly after, and the employees made their way out of the house.

As everyone was preparing to leave in the car, Yvonne texted someone while nobody was looking.

Yvonne: Mission failed.This kid saw right through our plans.

Anonymous: What do you mean? Didn't he just join the company not long ago?

Yvonne: Yes, but he just told us to ignore the price offered.Said he'd just build another commercial district next to it if someone else purchases the building.

Anonymous: D*mn it! That was the last message Yvonne received from the anonymous person she was texting.lan wasn't able to sleep well that night due to the pain in his leg.

Susan came over with breakfast very early the next morning after finding out about it from her brother.

"What happened to you, lan? Are you all right? I'm so sorry I wasn't able to send you home last night! Come on, show me the wound! How is it?"

She was so worried about him that she ran straight to his bedroom with her backpack still on.

lan was still in bed at the time, so he hid under the blanket out of awkwardness when he saw her coming in.

"I'm fine, Aunt Susan..."

Timothy had just gotten out of bed in the room next to lan’s when he heard how worried Susan was.

"It's just a sprained ankle, that's all.I've already treated it yesterday, so he'll be fine?" he explained casually.

Those words had barely left his mouth when Susan smacked him hard on the back of his head. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"I'm surprised you've got the cheek to word it so casually! Why didn't you tell me about this sooner? Don't you know that we're his only family around here?"

Susan did not hold back at all when it came to lecturing her younger brother.

In the end, all Timothy could do was run off to fetch some ointment while Susan began examining lan's ankle.

The injury was actually quite severe, and the poor blood circulation due to lan's lack of exercise caused the swelling to worsen overnight.

"lan, how about you take a day off from school? Get some rest at home, and I'll take you to a hospital afterward," Susan suggested.
