Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 867 - 866: Donate Some Money

"What help?" Liu Ting warmly said, "Just tell me, I’ll definitely help!"

After Zhen Yu blinked back the tears in her eyes, she didn’t rush to mention the bank account number but asked first, "Tell me first, how is Teacher Cao’s wife treating him? And his family! I remember he has a daughter, knowing he got this illness,"

Liu Ting immediately understood what Zhen Yu meant and hurriedly cut in, "I heard that after she found out about his illness, his wife planned to sell the house! Said she would live with her child at her mother’s place afterwards."

"What?!" Zhen Yu was infuriated upon hearing this, her voice rising several pitches!

Everyone in the ward turned to look at her, but she was too agitated to explain and directly exclaimed, "How can she be so heartless!"

"Did you misunderstand something?!" Liu Ting, who hadn’t reacted earlier, now realized and quickly explained, "His wife wants to sell the house to treat his illness! I heard they even want to take him to the capital! If they sell the house and Teacher Cao has to be hospitalized, where else can she and the child stay but her mother’s home?!"

"Ah," Zhen Yu felt a moment of awkwardness before saying, "So that’s how it is! Liu Ting, can you visit Teacher Cao’s home for me? Give my phone number to Mrs. Cao! Teacher Cao has my number, but I guess even if he comes to the capital, he won’t contact me! Please also help me get Mrs. Cao’s contact information, I have some things I want to say to her personally!"

"Sure! No problem! Wait for me, I’ll run over there this afternoon and call you back tonight!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Zhen Yu nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

——

"Whose call was so long?" As soon as Zhen Yu put her phone on the bed, Mrs. Han said, "Quick, drink the porridge! It’s going to get cold!"

"Oh!" Zhen Yu reached out to touch the porridge bowl, found it finally not too hot, and simply picked it up and poured it into her mouth.

Seeing this, Han Mingyue quickly advised, "Drink slowly! Eating too fast isn’t good for your stomach."

"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhen Yu obediently put the porridge bowl down.

She picked up the spoon again and drank one spoonful at a time.

Not until everyone had finished eating and tidied up did they scatter back to different beds to chat.

Mr. Han was the first to ask, "I heard you mention a teacher and his wife many times. Is there a Teacher Cao coming to Beijing?"

"He was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer." Zhen Yu said heavily, "He was the best teacher I’ve ever encountered!"

He was the best teacher she had ever encountered in both her lifetimes combined.

"Ah..." Mr. Han sighed deeply when he heard it was cancer, especially in the advanced stage.

"For this illness, it’s only a matter of time. Spending money on treatment can only ease the patient’s pain somewhat."

"Easing the pain is worth it!" Zhen Yu immediately replied, "I want to donate some money to Teacher Cao."

Zhen Yan didn’t need to think before speaking up, "I have money here! How much do you need?"

Han Mingyue also looked at Zhen Yu with bright eyes, "Teacher Cao taught me too! How much do you think we should donate? I’ll cover half!"

"I don’t know how much to donate..." Zhen Yu looked confused by the question.

Throughout both her lives, she had experienced many separations through life and death, but each time it happened quite suddenly!

Fate had never given her any buffer, not even a slight one!

So, in encountering a situation like Teacher Cao’s current illness, it was the first time for Zhen Yu too...

——

"I had a classmate who passed from this illness the year before last! I heard that once lung cancer reaches the advanced stage, you can’t live more than six months."

Mr. Han recalled with a hint of reminiscence, "The treatment costs were probably hundreds of thousands! My classmate later simply stopped treating it... saying they didn’t want to waste the money! It couldn’t be cured and just added a burden to the family for nothing."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Then Mr. Han paused and added, "But I also heard that the illness is very debilitating! Without treatment, it’s quite torturous!"

Zhen Yu then murmured, "Why don’t good people have good fate? Having to get this illness. While those who aren’t very good can pass without any suffering!"

Mr. Han immediately caught the implied meaning in Zhen Yu’s words and couldn’t help but darken his face for a moment!

He then earnestly advised, "Xiao Yu! A child should not speak of their father’s faults!"

Zhen Yu quietly nodded, without refuting.

Zhen Yan, seeing the situation, quickly jumped in to help his sister out, "You haven’t said how much you want to donate yet!"

Zhen Yu looked at her brother, then at Han Mingyue, and suddenly shook her head at both of them!

"I don’t need you guys, I’ll do it myself! This is my own wish, and has nothing to do with you!"

Seeing the two of them about to argue with her, Zhen Yu quickly grabbed her phone and said, "I’ll make a call first!"

Zhen Yan: "..."

Han Mingyue: "..."

——

"Hello, President Lu! I’m calling to wish you a Happy New Year in advance!"

"Haha! Zhen Yu, it’s kind of you to remember to call me for New Year greetings! During the long period I was furthering my studies in the capital, you only ate with me twice! And both times were due to business! I can see clearly you don’t visit without reason today!"

"Your place has to be a treasure hall for me to visit!"

When she truly wanted to flatter someone, Zhen Yu could easily come up with words of praise.

Lu Huashan, flattered into a state of bliss, couldn’t help but laugh, "I accept your felicitations! Tell me quickly, what do you need from me?"

"Here’s the thing, it’s year-end! I’m a bit tight on cash! So I wanted to ask whether this year’s dividends will be distributed?!"

"Ah? About that!" Lu Huashan didn’t hide the actual situation from Zhen Yu and directly told the truth, "The board had decided not to distribute them! But I went against the majority and allocated a car for each member of the management team as a reward for their hard work! As for you,"

"I don’t want a car! Just transfer the money to me! How much can be distributed?" Zhen Yu said almost without thinking!

"Our sales in 2001 were nearly 200 million! The net profit exceeded 30%, which is 60 million! These are in the performance report I sent to your lawyer, I don’t know if you’ve seen it."

"I saw it! I have a 20% share, which means I can take 12 million. I just want to know how much you can give me immediately! How much did you spend on the cars?"

"Each car cost more than 200,000, with all the procedures, it was less than 300,000."

"Six people! Including you, you only spent just over 2 million in total, not much!" After a quick mental calculation, Zhen Yu said.

"Not much! But it was my gesture,"

"Understood, understood! Then I won’t ask for much. Please transfer 500,000 to me after the New Year, it’s really urgent! Besides, dividends haven’t been distributed for three years now..."
