Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0555 Heartbeat
"The doctor said I have chronic fibrocavitary tuberculosis." Ruan Mei sighed.
Nan Yi knows a lot about tuberculosis. This is due to his fear of death and his usual focus on high incidence rates; it is also due to Yu Dongfang's talkative nature and his love of teaching.
Didn’t Nan Yi invite this guy to a barbecue some time ago? Yu Dongfang told Nan Yi all the knowledge about diseases that he had learned during his tuberculosis illness out of boredom.
Therefore, Nan Yi knows that chronic fibrocavitary tuberculosis is a type of tuberculosis that is low-infectious in most patients, and some are even non-infectious.
It's not a serious illness. As long as you are not extremely poor and don't meet a quack doctor, it will be difficult to die.
"That's not a big problem. You just need to stay in the hospital for a while, and you can go home when there are no more tuberculosis bacteria."
"It's so annoying. It takes a long time to take medicine."
Ruan Mei held her chin with one hand and sighed again.
"At most a year and a half, it will be over soon." Nan Yi put away the fruit knife, put the peeled apple into the plastic bag, wrapped it up, and shouted to Ruan Mei: "Can you catch it?"
"Can't catch it, come over here."
"oh."
Nan Yi leaned down, raised his hands back and forth, and threw a rolling ball with just the right force. The apple rolled right to Ruan Mei's feet.
Ruan Mei picked up the plastic bag, took out the apple inside, took off her mask, took a big bite, her eyes lit up, and then she let out a silver bell-like exclamation: "So sweet!"
"Eat slowly."
“Ah~ yeah.”
Ruan Mei nodded gently, still chewing with her little mouth.
The apple was sweet and she couldn't let it go. Her heart was also sweet and her chest was filled with happiness.
A long time ago, when Ruan Mei was a piano teacher at No. 2046 Repulse Bay, she developed a liking for Nan Yi.
Many times, she had seen Nan Ruoyin acting like a spoiled child , and she envied her happy look. Countless times, she dreamed that it was herself who was acting like a spoiled child in Nan Yi's arms.
But at that time, she was not clear about what kind of feelings she had for Nan Yi. It could be the fatherly love that she had never had, or it could be love, or more likely it could be both.
Maybe what she needs is a love that contains a strong fatherly love. Deep down in her heart, she has been holding back a sentence: "Dad, hit me!"
Seeing Ruan Mei concentrating on eating an apple, Nan Yi said to the school beauty, "Go to the nurses' duty desk and ask which nurse has a good reputation. Invite that person and pay him more. Also, find out what Ruan Mei's attending doctor and nurse like, and give them a gift. Don't make it too expensive, but make sure it suits her."
"clear."
"I'm done eating, but I want to eat more."
Just after the school beauty left for a while, Ruan Mei started yelling at Nan Yi like a spoiled child.
"Or an apple?"
"Anything else?"
"I also bought you some lychees and grapes, Japanese Kyoho, they're very big."
"I want to eat grapes." Ruan Mei said with a pout.
"Wait a minute, I'll go wash up."
"Yeah."
Nan Yi carried the grapes, found a sink, washed them, and brought them back. He placed them on the lawn not far from Ruan Mei and let her take them herself.
Ruan Mei got the grapes and started eating them again. She was just a little sad and aggrieved about Nan Yi's behavior of not daring to approach her, but she felt relieved soon. Now, she had adapted to it.
If you die and I live, that's called life and death. If you are sick, I am sick too, that's called affectation.
You are all sick, so why are you just going to starve?
Or is it that your dad’s surname is Zhao, and that fried noodles with garlic is an artistic processing, and that owning a big villa and building walls with RMB is the portrayal of life?
Ruan Mei finished eating the grapes slowly. This time, she did not ask Nan Yi for more. Instead, she turned her head, avoiding Nan Yi's sight, and licked the crumbs left on her gums with her tongue . There was a very naughty piece of crumbs that could not be licked away no matter how hard she licked it. She could only stand up and say something to Nan Yi, then hurried to the bathroom.
Just after Ruan Mei left, the chair she was sitting on was occupied by a newlywed.
Nan Yi stood there and waited for a while. When he saw Ruan Mei walking towards him from afar, he went to meet her.
"Your seat has been taken."
"Who is so annoying? I'll just leave for a while." Ruan Mei stood on tiptoe, glanced towards the chair, and said.
"Just grab it. The sun is still a bit hot. You've almost sat there. Go back to the ward."
"What?" Ruan Mei pouted and asked, "Are you leaving?"
"yes."
"Can't you stay a little longer?" Ruan Mei said to Nan Yi with burning eyes and expectant expression.
"Is five minutes enough?"
"It's only five minutes. How about half an hour?"
Nan Yi chuckled and said, "Okay, then I'll stay for another half an hour. If you feel bored, you can ask your boyfriend to accompany you."
"I don't have a boyfriend. Believe me, I don't have a boyfriend." After hearing Nan Yi's words, Ruan Mei nervously explained, "My mom is very strict with me. She doesn't allow me to have a boyfriend."
"Oh?" Nan Yi said playfully, "According to you, if your mommy doesn't care about you, you will have a boyfriend?"
"No, oops... you misunderstood me."
Ruan Mei didn't know how to explain to Nan Yi, and she stammered, her heart racing.
"Haha, okay, I'm just teasing you."
"That's annoying."
Ruan Mei spat and her eyebrows turned red.
The two of them slowly walked to the small flower bed in the corner of the ward. Ruan Mei sat on the concrete fence of the flower bed, and Nan Yi stood aside, only two meters away from Ruan Mei.
"Some of these words may not be appropriate to say now, or they may be self-indulgent, but I still want to tell you now."
"What?"
"I'm already married, I have a wife, and I have several other women, below my wife but above my lovers. Perhaps I'm not a good choice for you."
As soon as Nan Yi finished speaking, Ruan Mei's face turned from red to black in an instant, and her expression became gloomy.
After looking at Ruan Mei's expression, Nan Yi continued, "I know your mom is very busy at work and probably doesn't have time to take care of you. I've already hired a nurse for you. Also, I can come to see you tomorrow, but not the day after tomorrow. I'll be back to the capital the day after tomorrow."
"How long will it take?" Ruan Mei asked anxiously.
"I probably won't be able to come back until you're discharged from the hospital."
"You...you won't come to see me anymore?" Ruan Mei pursed her lips and said.
"Do you want me to come?"
Ruan Mei was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, and murmured softly: "Yes."
"But I can't come." Nan Yi spread his hands and said jokingly.
"Huh, you're so mean."
"Hahaha."
Looking at Ruan Mei's shy appearance, Nan Yi was overjoyed.
"Still laughing..." Ruan Mei raised her hand and wanted to slap Nan Yi, but after thinking for a moment, she put her hand down and spat, "If you laugh again, I will ignore you."
"Okay, okay, I won't smile anymore." Nan Yi waved his hand and put away his smile. "When you are discharged from the hospital, apply for a return home permit. There is a very skilled Chinese medicine doctor in Beijing named Zou Yitang. Tuberculosis damages the lungs and needs to be nursed back to health. This Chinese medicine doctor is quite good at it. You can go see him and have fun in Beijing for a few days."
“Hehehe!”
Ruan Mei smiles sweetly between the bamboo fences, and her face is always bright with peach blossoms.
After chatting childishly with Ruan Mei for a while and getting the nickname of "Qianzai", Nan Yi also gave Ruan Mei the nickname of "Qianmei" and then left the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital.
…
At noon on the third day, before Nan Yi boarded the Cathay Pacific flight to Beijing, Masami Ueto sent a message that olive oil futures had risen by US$52.7, with a strong upward momentum and a great hope of breaking through US$800.
According to Masami Ueto's estimation, it is only a matter of time before the price breaks through $820.
In addition, the 210,000 tons of olive oil hidden by Carthage have been sold to Mark Rich at a package price of US$130 million.
Marc Rich is the owner of Marc Rich Company and a well-known international bulk trader, especially in the oil field.
However, his practices were very problematic. Although they seemed legal, he was regarded as a thorn in the side of the United States because he was notorious for trading with Cuba and Libya during the United States' trade embargo.
Last year, Marc Rich was charged by the US Department of Justice with multiple charges including fraud, trading with the enemy, and tax evasion. He just ran to Switzerland and continued to live at large.
However, at the beginning of this year, Marc Rich paid a fine of 200 million US dollars and unpaid taxes, which was considered to be the forgiveness of the United States. Although the case has not been resolved, as long as he does not appear in the United States, nothing will happen.
Marc Rich sponsored many Jews, donated a lot of money to Israel, and had a very good relationship with the Soviet revisionists. Nan Yi sold the olive oil to him because it was the safest way to sell it to him; he sold it to him at a low price in order to establish a good relationship with him.
In the future, if Nan wants to step into the Soviet revisionism, he will need to borrow Mark Rich's channels.
When Nan Yiren arrived in the capital, he went to keep his appointment with Cao Lin.
Nan Yi would not break the promise since he had already promised to treat others to a meal. Besides, Cao Lin was still useful to him. Nan Yi also wanted her to help keep an eye on Yang Kaiyan and that "Qiehui brother".
