Chapter 311: This is the case
Lindsey ignored his nonsense, pretending not to hear him and leaned back in his arms to rest.
When she got home around nine o’clock, Lindsey finished reading the next day’s ceremony for the establishment of the charity hospital and found that Bruce had gone to his study at some point, she couldn’t help but curl her lips and put down her computer and followed him in.
In the study, Bruce was busy writing his training plan and didn’t notice her coming in, but at that moment the phone rang, so he answered it without thinking.
The call was from Hailie, who didn’t say what was going on, but just asked if he had time tomorrow.
“I’m sorry, I’m busy.” Bruce frowned unhappily. “Is there something wrong with Instructor Hailie.”
At this end, Hailie smiled awkwardly and said, “The colleagues have organized a picnic and would like to invite you to participate.”
“Thank you for your kindness, I’m not available.” Bruce finished, found an extra shadow at his feet, and reflexively turned his head. “That’s all.”
Ending the call, he slightly sheepishly went to take Lindsey’s hand and hastily explained, “I won’t have anything with her, don’t think too much about it.”
Lindsey pretended to be angry and instantly shook off his hand, turning her head and walking out the door.
Bruce screamed and immediately got up to chase him out. “Lindsey, let me explain.”
“Explain what? What else is there to explain when you call so late at night.” Lindsey sat down on the couch and picked up her laptop again. “Did I just interrupt you guys.”
“What are you thinking!” Bruce anxiously sat over and took her arm pathetically. “I really didn’t have anything else on my mind, the class has an address book, it wouldn’t be hard for her to get my number at all.”
Lindsey side-eyed and choked him lazily. “You’re in high demand at military school.”
“Absolutely not, I swear to God!” Bruce simply reached out and enveloped her in his arms. “You’re the only one in my eyes, and everything else is just a floating cloud.”
“Really?” Lindsey almost couldn’t help but laugh, her face still looking noncommittal. “Sweet words from the mouth are of little use.”
Bruce was silent, tightening the force in his hand a little.
The next moment, he suddenly released his grip and took Lindsey’s laptop away, then picked her up and went back to the bedroom. “If sweet talk doesn’t work, let’s do something else.”
“Bruce, you big rascal …,” Lindsey finally burst out laughing, pinching the soft flesh under his armpit. “Be careful of bringing your son down.”
“I’m not worried.” Bruce gently put her on the bed, sexy thin lips raised a high smile, tenderly lowered his head, kissed her soft lips …
The next morning, Lindsey woke up on time and nudged Bruce beside her, telling him to get up quickly.
“There’s nothing going on today, so sleep a little longer.” Bruce muttered, put his arm around her waist and went back to sleep.
Lindsey rolled her eyes and used her surefire technique to pinch him hard, complaining, “Didn’t you promise to accompany me to the inauguration ceremony?”
“Uh …” Bruce ate the pain and snapped over in spirit as he remembered that the fund had acquired a private hospital on the verge of collapse as a pilot public hospital. “Sorry, I forgot about that.”
“Get up or you’ll be late.” Lindsey wrinkled her tiny nose and got up from the bed sharply.
Bruce didn’t dare to stay in bed either, the hospital was in the suburbs and it took more than an hour to get there from the old house.
Lindsey was the founder of the foundation, if she was late on such an important day, how would the management people convince her.
After hurriedly washing up, the two of them simply ate breakfast, went to their rooms, put on their formal clothes and left immediately.
On the way, Lindsey called Larissa to ask her about her preparations.
They went there last night, together with Karen who had just rejected Randy’s proposal.
After chatting for a while and learning that everything was going well, Lindsey put away her phone, yawned and leaned into Bruce’s arms, closing her eyes comfortably. “I’ll take a nap, call me when we get there.”
“Go to sleep.” Bruce reached out and rubbed the top of her head, his lips curled up in an insatiable smile.
Considering that today is to attend the hospital establishment ceremony, Bruce did not choose a military jeep, but changed to a relatively low-key ordinary domestic car.
After the car got on the highway, several ultra-luxury sports cars sped past one after another, and Bruce’s sharp eyes saw Burton’s car among them, and immediately gave Jack a call.
He just got out of the hospital a few days ago, and then he’s fooling around, and he’s not afraid to embarrass The Grant family!
Lindsey was in a daze when she heard his phone call and sat up instinctively. “What’s wrong?”
“I asked Jack to notify the traffic police department to keep an eye out.” Bruce put away his phone and patted her dotingly. “Get some more sleep, I’ll call you when we get there.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
It turned out to be Burton … Lindsey yawned and fell back into his arms again and slept.
After about 40 minutes, the car entered the county where the hospital was located, and the speed gradually slowed down. Bruce raised his hand and looked at the atomic table on his lower wrist. When he saw Lindsey sleeping soundly, he couldn’t help laughing.
The noise outside the car became noticeably louder when he entered the main road of the county, and before he could say anything, Lindsey woke up on her own, looking out the window with confused eyes.
Yawning widely, she couldn’t help but grunt, “Why didn’t you call me when we arrived.”
“It’s still a few minutes away, no rush.” Bruce reached out to help her fix her hair and laughed softly, “I was afraid you wouldn’t get enough sleep.”
“I’m afraid I won’t get enough sleep and you’ll toss me around at night.” Lindsey complained in a voice that only the two of us could hear, blushing as she looked down to fix her wrinkled jacket.
Bruce was dumbfounded, and couldn’t help but lean over and plant a kiss on her cheek, the smile on his face suddenly surging. “It’s not the same. …”
Lindsey wrinkled her nose and hummed, just as the car arrived at the place, so she didn’t bother to argue with him about it.
Open the door and go down, immediately greeted by the fund’s staff.
“Take me to the office.” Lindsey smiled politely at the other party, waited for Bruce to get out of the car as well, and then walked together towards the lobby of the hospital’s outpatient building.
The public hospital project was not only supported by the local government, but the Ministry of Health also appreciated Hui Ai’s initiative.
Right now, the main roads around the hospital are filled with red banners.
On the upper floors of the hospital’s outpatient clinics, there were bright red banners.
Bruce followed Lindsey in a casual manner, with a doting smile on his lips from time to time.
Entering the lobby, Lindsey saw Larissa in the crowd, and Karen, who looked like a vegetable.
Smiling, she walked over and hugged them, leaving Bruce to go to the temporary office. After taking their seats, Lindsey looked over the latest event flow chart, and her eyebrows knitted darkly. “Isn’t it too long for the leader to speak.”
Larissa spread her hands, a face of helplessness. “We can’t help it, we’ve tried to compress the time as much as possible.”
Lindsey also knew there was no way to interfere with this, so she shrugged and added, “Forget it, I’ll just speak as a representative on the fund side.”
Larissa and Karen looked at each other and nodded gently. As they were talking, there was a sudden round of applause from outside the door.
Everyone looked at each other, no one knew what was going on outside.
Lindsey sat closer to the door and was the first to stand up, curiously pulling open a crack in the door.
Bruce and Edward, who were accompanying her, were in the lobby, and Minister Abner from the Ministry of Health, together with Randy, was walking slowly this way.
“It’s Minister Abner.” Lindsey turned back, looked at Karen with a meaningful gaze, and joked, “That guy from your family is here too.”
“What!” Karen stood up in shock and panicked, looking for a place to hide.
Lindsey saw her like this, and Larissa looked at each other and shook her head with a bitter smile. “Don’t do that.”
“Good sisters, it’s really necessary. Let me tell you…”Karen finished, found no place to hide, in a hurry, directly under the desk, pleading: “explain to you later, do not say I was in. ”
As soon as the words left her mouth, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open.
Lindsey smiled and came forward, respectfully greeted: “Minister Abner you are so busy, this small matter still bother you to run, Lindsey is really terrified.”
“This is a good thing, it just so happens that I have time to come over.” Minister Abner smilingly extended his hand and shook her. “All sit down, while the ceremony is still in progress, tell us about your original intention of running this hospital.”
“Haven’t we already submitted the approval procedures?” Larissa was surprised. “And it was approved, too.”
Minister Abner smiled and waved his hand, explaining, “Approval applications are raw words, and I want to know exactly what you think and how it works.”
Lindsey looked up, her clear, bright eyes floating with a confident smile, and answered, “It’s better for me to speak, after all, I was the first to come up with this project and idea.”
“Then I’ll be a student for once and listen to you.” Minister Abner looked at Lindsey with an appreciative gaze, without any hint of bravado.
While they were talking, Randy noticed the corners of his coat peeking out from under the desk, and his thin lips slowly opened up in a playful curve.
Lindsey didn’t notice his small movements, cleared her throat, and talked to Minister Abner about her initial intention to build a charity hospital.
She was very detailed and emotional, and after listening carefully to her ideas, Minister Abner couldn’t help but question, “So have you considered what the daily overhead would be for a hospital, if it were all free.”
“The public hospital is currently only for common illnesses, serious illnesses, major illnesses and the like, and the conditions here are not up to the standard of care.” Lindsey settled down and calmly replied, “We print the treatment content on the brochure to avoid misunderstanding.”
“Even for common illnesses, the daily expenses are staggering.” Minister Abner still thinks they have a good idea, but it’s not quite feasible. “Hui Ai’s current funding is around 500 million, and excluding the expenses of other programs, the hospital alone is a huge burden.”
Lindsey nodded with a smile, “We have a partnership with the local government department to provide the necessary financial support for the hospital through a more reasonable way, while also contributing to the local economic development.”
“What kind of approach?” Minister Abner was clearly interested, if their approach was feasible, the state could step in later and keep the free medical care going.
Lindsey looked like I knew it and replied, “Regarding the method of cooperation, and the project paperwork that has been signed, I will ask Assistant Chen to send it to your office later, what do you think.”
“It’s OK …” Minister Abner also realized that he was in too much of a hurry and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Ending this topic, the ceremony was about to begin.
According to the rules, the minister should come down to notify the local government departments in advance, but Minister Abner does not like to usher in the set of procedures, simply did not say.
When the local leaders entered, almost no one recognized that there was a big leader of frighteningly high rank on the podium.
