Big Gong hesitated to agree because this exchange would be a considerable loss. Even a sucker wouldn’t accept such a request. Big Gong forced a smile and searched his mind for an excuse to reject Fang Liu.

However, Fang Liu said, “I also heard that you would participate in the city’s kindest person of the year selection, Mr. Gong.”

Big Gong was stunned before he smiled and replied, “T-That’s right. The television station heard about my good deeds and insisted on sending a couple of reporters over to interview me. Tell me, is this really…”

Illat

Fang Liu smiled noncommittally. At this moment, Big Gong was unaware that Fang Liu, Bei Bei, and Zhou Zi had already become food friends and were plotting against him.

Fang Liu was aware that Big Gong was the one who approached the television station and asked the reporters to interview him. But he still had the nerve to lie to Fang Liu.

Fang Liu leisurely took a sip of tea and then said, “To be honest, Mr. Gong, out of curiosity, I went to look at the other candidates for the city’s kindest person of the year selection. I found that most of them come from poor backgrounds. I’m afraid that it would be even more difficult for you to win since you’re the boss of an influential company.”

Sixty percent of the votes for the city’s kindest person of the year selection were cast online. The netizens would undoubtedly choose a commoner who was more down-to-earth than a wealthy business person.

Even if Big Gong managed to build a good relationship with the judges, there was no guarantee that he would win through online voting. Big Gong’s smile gradually disappeared. What Fang Liu said was what worried Big Gong. Over the years, Big Gong had done many shameful things to develop his company. A few years ago, he had set up a coal mine, and an accident occurred, killing several workers.

At that time, four to five workers survived at the bottom of the mines. But to cover up the accident, Big Gong had asked his assistant to arrange for some explosives to be placed. Then he blew up the entire mine.

Big Gong also committed several other inhumane crimes. Those who heard of Big Gong didn’t have a good impression of him. It was easy to imagine why it would be tough for such a person to win the voter’s favor. Even if Big Gong relied on the television station’s interview, it might not be enough to clear his name.

When Fang Liu noticed Big Gong’s smile had disappeared, she revealed an elegant smile in return and said, “I’m aware that you are in a difficult situation, Mr. Gong. But, I have an idea that could help you if you trust me.”

Big Gong looked at Fang Liu suspiciously. But Fang Liu knew that Big Gong would not believe her if she didn’t reveal any more trump cards.

Fang Liu revealed her proposal, “I have a charity under my name, Mr. Gong. If you are interested, I can include your name on the list of sponsors for my foundation. Also, I appear on a television program that will be broadcast soon. It is a top-rated program, and I think it will perform exceedingly well.”

“If you’re willing to collaborate with me, I can put in a good word for you with the reporters. What do you think of my proposal, Mr. Gong?” Big Gong pondered for a long while before finally stammering, “L-Let me think it over.”

Fang Liu wasn’t in a hurry, but she stood up and said, “You should quickly make a decision. Your father might not survive the next few days.”

Big Gong immediately called his consultant and told him of Fang Liu’s proposal when Fang Liu left. When the consultant heard Big Gong’s explanation, he calmly analyzed the situation and said, “It seems that Miss Fang is also interested in building a name for herself. Is she involved in charity work?”

“Who would care about charity work in this day and age? She probably just wants to build her reputation. I also think that Miss Fang is only treating your father for publicity’s sake.”

After all, Fang Liu was the only one willing to treat a patient that other doctors rejected. If not for this, she would still be unknown to the

public.

Big Gong felt that his consultant made sense. After a long pause, Big Gong asked doubtfully, “A-Are you sure there’s no hope for my father?”

When the consultant heard this, he smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’m sure that I’ve made no mistakes. Do you honestly think that all the doctors in Southern City are hopeless? Fang Liu is only in her twenties. How can she cure your father if no one else can? Think about it for a moment.”

Big Gong gave it some thought and felt entirely at ease, giving Fang Liu his answer. Fang Liu quickly replied to Big Gong, “Then I shall begin your father’s operation tomorrow morning.”

Fang Liu hung up the phone and smiled at Mo Yu. “All done!”

Mo Yu walked forward and pulled Fang Liu into his arms. “Don’t pressure yourself too much tomorrow. It doesn’t matter if you can’t cure Old Man Gong.” Since Mo Yu was just a bystander in this situation, he was unaware of how confident Fang Liu was in her treatment method. From Mo Yu’s point of view, he felt it was impossible to cure Old Man Gong.
