Lu Man's suddenly raised her lowered eyelashes. "Young Master Han had said many things the last time, I really don't remember anymore."
Just after she said that Lu Man instantly took a huge step back and took the chance to quickly walk forwards.
Moreover, the look she had given him, after finishing what she had said, was a sly one.
Han Zhuoli gave a low laugh, calling her a vixen in his heart before taking big steps to chase after her.
Knowing that Xia Qingwei was still being operated on, Lu Man could not be bothered about anything else.
Thus at this moment, even Han Zhouli did not pester her further by talking about other things.
Meanwhile, Tang Zi who had been following them, at the side all along, looked at Lu Man, then he looked at Han Zhuoli but was still confused. What exactly was the relationship between these two?
When did Lu Man become so close to Han Zhuoli?
Although he was not trying to boast, he had a very close relationship with Lu Man and she never hid anything from him.
So what was up with this situation with Han Zhuoli?
Tang Zi worked as a paparazzo so of course, knew who Han Zhuoli was.
Not to mention him, among ordinary people there were only a few who did not know who Han Zhuoli was.
Han Zhouli controlled the Han Corporation, which was the biggest company dominating the entertainment industry and producing around 70 percent of domestic movies and television shows. As for the remaining 30 percent, the Han Corporation also played a part by investing in them.
Also, 90 percent of A-listers and above stars were registered with the Han Corporation, and as for the rest of the 10 percent, some created their own companies or established their own studios, but they could not compete with the Han Corporation.
The Han Corporation already had an overabundance of artists that even if the remaining 10 percent were to enter their company, they would not be able to receive preferential treatment.
Otherwise, no one would want to start up their own company to oppose the Han Corporation.
However, since the Han corporation was established in the entertainment industry Han Zhouli's family was renowned, unlike the other seven big families that were very mysterious, such that the number of people who have met them was very little.
Also, Han Zhuoli often appeared in front of the media and Tang Zi was also a part of the big group that took photos of him.
Such an important person, just a single stomp of his feet could greatly affect the whole entertainment circle, how did he become so close to Lu Man?
Tang Zi was a bit worried, he feared that if Lu Man became close to Han Zhuoli, she would get hurt.
At that moment, Lu Man had already hurriedly reached the outside of the operating theater.
Auntie Chai and Wu Zhiguo were trying to deal with the doctor. "Doctor, we beg you, please just operate on the patient first."
"I can't, we must have a family member's signature because if something happens during the surgery, who'll be responsible? Later on, if the family members come and make trouble, can both of you take responsibility?" The doctor shook his head, and no matter what they said, he refused to agree.
"She only has one daughter and moreover, after the commotion outside, even you must know about it too. She really can't come over right now. They are all reasonable people and won't make trouble. If you keep delaying and refusing to operate, and something actually happens, then there'll be trouble!" Auntie Chai was also flustered and exasperated.
Xia Qingwei was still in the operating room, and her condition was unknown, yet the doctor refused to place saving the patient as the number one priority and kept asking for a family member to sign the agreement.
If Lu Man had been caught, how could she come and sign?
"Even so, I can't do anything. This is a rule. Furthermore, the fees for the surgery are yet to be paid. Our hospital can't take responsibility for such a huge fee." The doctor refused to agree no matter what they said.
Earlier, Xia Qingwei was anyway supposed to undergo a heart bypass surgery but was initially planned to take place half a month later, however, today's situation had occurred.
Also, if something happened to the patient during the surgery, then they might not even receive the surgery fees.
The doctor had to be responsible if that situation happened.
"Auntie Chai, Uncle Wu." Lu Man ran over and gratefully said, "Thank you both so much."
"It's nothing, the most important thing right now is your mother. She's still in the operating theatre and has not been operated on yet." Auntie Chai explained.
"I have heard everything just now." Lu Man nodded.
At that moment, a nurse ran over and told the doctor, "Doctor Hu, are you going to use the operating theatre or not? If you won't be using it, can someone else use it?"
"Yes, we're using it!" Lu Man quickly said, "I'm the patient's daughter, you need a family member's signature right? I'll sign it."
The nurse at the side had already prepared the agreement a long time ago, and Lu Man did not dare to delay it anymore signing immediately.
"You can go and pay the fee," Doctor Hu said, "The surgery fee is 100 000."
Heart bypass surgery was a major operation, so the cost of the surgery had never been cheap.
"I'll go and get the money now We had originally set the surgery date to be half a month later, and so, of course, I can't be carrying such a huge sum of money around." Lu Man explained, "Can you operate on my mom first?"
She had long prepared the money for the surgery, she still remembered that in her past life since she had to go to the prison, she was no longer able to stay by her mother's side when she was awaiting surgery, hence she had passed the money to Tang Zi.
However, she had only saved up 100,000 dollars for the surgery, and aside from that, she did not have enough money to pay for the medicines and hospital fees after the surgery.
Yet, the most important thing right now was to finish the surgery, and as for the money needed afterwards, she would think of a way to get it.
Maybe she could first owe the hospital, then go get jobs to earn money, or she could be thick-skinned and borrow some money from people.
As of now, Lu Man could only take things one step at a time.
But she definitely would not be Lu Qi's assistant again.
Furthermore, the money that she had earned from being Lu Qi's assistance was very little and was definitely not enough.
Xia Qingyang and her daughter frequently used to say that she was Lu Qi's older sister, hence as a family how could they be so calculative?
Also, Lu Qiyuan actually felt that what they said was very logical, and if Lu Man insisted on wanting the same amount of salary that others in her line of work were getting, then it meant that she did not care for her sister enough and was cheating a family member of money.
Moreover, Xia Qingyang also told Lu Qiyuan that since they were a family, there was no need to be so calculative.
Thus even Lu Qiyuan agreed with her.
However, if not paying her would not have been ridiculous, they would have made Lu Man work for free.
Thus, Lu Man's salary was scanty, even lower than the average salary of assistants.
That was because, in Xia Qingyang and her daughter's eyes, the Lu family money as well as all of Lu Qiyuan's assets and money, all belonged solely to Xia Qingyang and Lu Q. Moreover, spending any of it on Lu Man was like cutting off a piece of their flesh.
For them, giving money to Lu Man was as if feeding a dog, very profligate use of money.
Xia Qingyang had married into the Lu family only after Lu Qiyuan had become a boss and the Lu family was doing well. Hence she had been a rich madam for many years.
Despite her being a rich madam for several years, the truth was that she had never gotten rid of her plebeian habits.
Whereas all these years, Lu Man had always wanted to stay with Xia Qingwei but she could not, since she had to save up money to treat Xia Qingwei's illness.
Usually, when Lu Qi was filming, Lu Man could follow the crew and eat boxed lunches. However, when she was at B City, even though she had to face Xia Qingyang and Lu Qi's schemes to frame her, she still remained in the Lu family house, merely because she wanted to save on living expenses, saving up all her earnings to give to Xia Qingwei.
However, considering Xia Qingwei's hospital fees till now, and adding on today's surgery bill, Lu Man had really used up all her savings.
Xia Qingwei's surgery had been pre-arranged from long ago, and ever since Xia Qingwei had checked into the hospital, Lu Man had never failed to pay any of the bills.
Therefore, the doctor still trusted her a lot and so agreed. "That's okay, we'll first operate on your mother, you can pay for the bill later."
"There's no need." Han Zhuoli who had been quiet all this while, instantly took out a card, "I'll pay for the surgery fees first."
Lu Man looked at him questioningly. "It's alright, I have the money."
"But don't you still need to go back to take it? Coming and going is so troublesome, use mine first, you can return the money to me later." Han Zhuoli waved his card towards the nurse.
