Early the next morning, Shushu came knocking on the door and hurriedly shared the latest situation.
"Yan Zhou is still in a coma. They're not sure if his spine is injured yet. What's certain is that he has a broken leg," she said.
Xu Tingyu was taken aback and didn't say a word for a moment.
After all, who would be in a good mood hearing such news so early in the morning?
"Colleagues said the local medical conditions are just average. The brokerage company is already preparing to charter a plane to send him to the nearest city, New York," Shushu said with a worried look on her face.
She was not only worried about Yan Zhou's physical condition but also about the performance in a month and a half.
Xu Tingyu was much calmer than her. "Okay, let's keep an eye on the situation there. I'll think of a way to see if I can help."
After all, she had been in the circle for so long and still had some connections.
"Go through the guest list again and make preparations as early as possible," she added.
If Yan Zhou was absent, it might not affect the group performance much, but Yan Zhou also had a solo show.
So they still needed to plan ahead for this.
Shushu responded and went back to her room.
Xu Tingyu checked her contacts but couldn't find a suitable person.
She did know some friends in New York, but none of them were in the medical field.
However, she soon thought of someone.
"Tingyu, why did you call me? Is something wrong?" came Qi Ye's gentle voice as usual from the other end of the phone.
Xu Tingyu called him "Brother" and said, "Sorry to bother you at this time, but I need your help with something."
In the past few years, Qi Ye had ventured into the medical industry and had developed it quite well.
He said the reason he got into this industry was that he had poor health and had been dealing with hospitals for a long time.
So when he had the ability, he wanted to make some contributions to this industry.
Last year, his medical team had also achieved remarkable results in the field of cardiology.
Xu Tingyu briefly explained what had happened. "This Yan Zhou is my friend. I'm in Kyoto now and can't do much. So I was wondering if you have someone who can help."
"No problem. Send me the other party's contact information. I'll arrange my assistant to handle it," Qi Ye readily agreed without hesitation.
"Then I'll thank you in advance, Brother," Xu Tingyu said gratefully, overjoyed.
After discussing this matter, Qi Ye asked her, "How's it going back in Kyoto? Have you met Shi Feng?"
"Yeah, I have," Xu Tingyu didn't hide it.
She knew that Qi Ye had a distant relationship with the old house and hadn't been back to Kyoto in the past few years.
So she didn't have to worry about him passing this information on to the old house.
Of course, the old house probably already knew about her return, so it didn't really matter whether it was passed on or not.
Qi Ye's tone became a bit lower. "Are you okay? Did he give you a hard time?"
"No. When it comes to Youyou, he's more reasonable than I thought. And Youyou has been well taken care of," Xu Tingyu admitted.
On this point, she really had nothing to say about Qi Shifeng.
Putting herself in his shoes, if Youyou had always been with her, she might not have allowed Youyou to have such a good impression of a father who had never shown up.
So in this regard, Qi Shifeng was truly great.
Qi Ye was silent for a moment and then resumed his previous tone. "That's good. After all, Youyou is your child. Even if you're divorced, you both should raise him together."
Youyou was the only child of the Qi family's younger generation. If it weren't for what had happened before, he would have been the apple of everyone's eye.
But now, the old house hardly acknowledged this child.
It was said that he wasn't even on the family genealogy.
Just because Qi Shifeng was unwilling to send Youyou to the old house to be raised, the old man had been so angry that he said he would just pretend he didn't have this great - grandson.
Although Qi Ye was abroad, he knew a thing or two about this.
Xu Tingyu didn't know about this, so she naturally didn't notice the faint regret in Qi Ye's words.
She just replied with a simple "Yes" and said, "We just want Youyou to grow up happily and healthily."
"We"?
Qi Ye fell silent again.
Did she mean herself and Qi Shifeng?
She had only been back for less than a month. How could they already be a "we"?
But he didn't show any of his thoughts. He just chatted with her for a few more sentences. Then Xu Tingyu said she wouldn't take up his time anymore and hung up the phone.
As for the fact that Qi Ye threw his phone after the call, Xu Tingyu naturally had no idea.
She just sent the broker's contact information to Qi Ye and then called the broker.
This time, she called his private number.
The broker didn't answer the first time. He only picked up on the second call.
Xu Tingyu said she had found someone to help them. She wasn't sure if it would be of any use, but she told them to call and check.
When the broker heard that it was the connection of the eldest young master of the Qi family, he was naturally extremely grateful and thanked her profusely.
Since she had already made the call, Xu Tingyu also asked about Yan Zhou's condition.
It was similar to what the colleague had said. He was still in a coma, and the broken leg had been treated. They were just waiting for the final examination results.
"Okay, then you guys focus on getting him treated. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know as soon as possible," Xu Tingyu said, feeling heart - wrenching.
She thought this matter was finally developing in a good direction.
Who would have thought that after a week, Xu Tingyu didn't receive any more information about Yan Zhou.
Even the messages Shushu sent to the contact person went unanswered.
At first, they thought it was because Yan Zhou's condition was not good and they were too busy to reply.
But later, they learned from the news that Yan Zhou had woken up four days ago. His spine wasn't injured. There was just some blood stasis in his brain, but it wasn't life - threatening.
After further observation, this blood stasis didn't need surgical removal. It just needed to be absorbed naturally, and he only needed to be hospitalized for observation.
Even the reporters had gotten this information, but Xu Tingyu and the others knew nothing.
Even the dullest person would sense something was wrong.
Xu Tingyu called the broker again. After a simple greeting, she directly asked about Yan Zhou's condition.
The broker's tone was quite aggressive. "He's doing fine, but sorry, you guys won't be able to have him for the performance."
Before Xu Tingyu could say anything, the broker coldly added,
"Not only him, but our whole Try group won't be able to participate. After all, we won't cooperate with an unreliable company no matter what."
"As for the matter of breach of contract, just let your legal department contact our legal department. And don't call me again. We're not that close."
After saying that, without giving Xu Tingyu a chance to ask questions, he hung up the phone.
Xu Tingyu was completely confused.
Wasn't everything fine when they last talked on the phone?
He had thanked her so much. Why did he turn against her in less than a week?
What had their company done wrong? Why were they considered unreliable?
