After hanging up the phone, I realized I might have misunderstood Gu Yuanzhou.
Someone tampered with the health supplement?
When I returned to the hospital, I felt a bit downhearted.
At this point, Jian Jing had finished her check-up.
“How did it go?”
I asked Wenya. frёeωebɳovel.com
By now, Wenya had already arranged for Jian Jing’s hospital admission.
Jian Jing was lying on the hospital bed, her complexion much more stable.
Wenya looked worried,
“The doctor said she needs to stay in the hospital for a week to protect the fetus! She’s been overworking and it might lead to premature birth, she’s already showing signs of miscarriage.”
“Then she should stay in the hospital!”
Wenya whispered, “Her mother-in-law just called asking her to come back and cook dinner!”
“That’s a bit too much!”
“Obviously, this family is still using the wedding issue to retaliate against Jian Jing. I just heard Jian Jing say it, her mother-in-law even has her eyes on the house, asking her to transfer the ownership of the house to her mother-in-law. Bringing this up now, while she is pregnant, is simply shameless.”
“Indeed…”
After discussing with Wenya for a while, the only workable solution now is for Jian Jing to move out of her husband’s home and return to her parents’ house for a period of time, using this miscarriage as an excuse.
This way, she could avoid conflicts and rest up.
However, Jian Jing said she can’t bear to leave her husband Yu Zihang. Although she is not getting along with her mother-in-law, her husband has been good to her.
In fact, Wenya also expressed many complaints about Yu Zihang’s reaction, as a husband he should stand by his wife at such a time.
At least, he should come to the hospital to take care of Jian Jing, but Yu Zihang didn’t do that. Clearly, he was siding with his mother.
However, this was just a private discussion between Wenya and me, didn’t dare to tell Jian Jing for fear of upsetting her.
At the end, I paid for Jian Jing’s hospitalization fees. Before leaving, I reminded Wenya,
“No matter what, you must get Yu Zihang to come to the hospital at least once, let him hear from the doctor, maybe that will help.”
“Alright!”
That afternoon, I went back to the company again.
I visited Gu Yuanzhou’s office.
I initially wanted to check what other beverages he had consumed that day besides the cup of coffee.
However, shortly after I walked in, Ye Mengyan followed right in.
She looked at me with a smile, “Are you here to destroy the evidence?”
I just glanced at her indifferently, then turned around and left. Shortly afterward, driver Lao Ma came over to me.
“Miss Song, you were looking for me?”
“Yes!”
“Oh, nothing big, just noticed you’ve been working really hard lately. Here’s a red envelope as a reward!”
I took out a plump red envelope from my bag and stuffed it into Lao Ma’s hand.
Lao Ma was a bit overwhelmed, however, after seeing the thickness of the tissue, he reluctantly accepted.
“Thank you Miss Song!”
I smirked slightly, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ye Mengyan standing at the office door, watching the scene warily.
Then, I walked towards the elevator.
Xu Yun was in there too, she whispered to me,
“Lao Ma has been obsessed with the lottery for years. As soon as he gets his paycheck, he rushes off to gamble. He hardly ever contributes to the family expenses, his wife often comes to the company to argue.”
“Got it!”
“Sister Song, need me to look into anything else?”
“How is Ye Mengyan’s filming progress these days?”
“It is said that she had a big quarrel with the cameraman this morning! Saying the cameraman made her look ugly, when they were arguing, I overheard that President Gu seems to be not very satisfied.”
I smirked slightly, it seems my words to Gu Yuanzhou was effective.
“Xu Yun, I can’t thank you enough. Tomorrow at this time, book a high-end restaurant, I’ll treat you all to a meal!”
“Sister Song, you said you’re treating us? Who else other than me?”
“Ah, there’s Auntie Shen from Finance, also Lao Ma…You can also bring two more people.”
“Alright, alright!”
Since I’m the one treating, and there are also a few colleagues, Lao Ma should probably not refuse.
If I keep inviting Lao Ma to meals and giving him red envelopes, I believe it won’t be long before the person behind the scenes will not be able to sit still.
After finishing my work in the afternoon, I went to the hospital to visit Gu Yuanzhou.
At the door of his ward, the doctor was conversing with Gu Yuanzhou in low tones.
“Mr.Gu, the poisoning you suffered this time is pretty serious! Even after two days of treatment, there are still some heavy metals in your blood which are above the normal levels. So, you can’t be discharged yet, it’s best to stay in the hospital for another half-month. These heavy metals will affect your cardiovascular system.”
“I see, you can leave now.”
As soon as Gu Yuanzhou saw me, he instructed the doctor to leave.
After the doctor left, I closed the door of the ward.
He had a severe cough, so I poured him a cup of warm water and handed it over.
He held the cup in both hands but didn’t drink, just looking at me.
I smiled slightly and pulled up a chair to sit across from him.
It seemed that he wasn’t as hopeless as I had imagined, at least in the matter of Ye Mengyan’s endorsement.
Although he seemed a bit resistant on the surface, he still heeded my advice.
“What, President Gu doesn’t even have the courage to drink water now?”
Perhaps due to physical discomfort, Gu Yuanzhou was somewhat pale. His handsome face lacked color.
Only those deep eyes of his still seemed sharp.
Even sitting in the hospital bed, his back was still upright.
When he looked at me, it was also with scrutiny.
In the end, he placed the glass of warm water on the table. It seemed that he was still wary of me.
“As long as you don’t sever ties with Ding Yinuo, you’ll remain my primary suspect.”
He said in a low voice, deliberately enunciating each word.
“Since you don’t trust me, why don’t you fire me?”
“Good question! Why do you think that is?”
“How could I guess what’s on President Gu’s mind!”
He raised the corner of his lips, a rare hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, but it faded as quickly as it appeared.
“I appreciate talent, and I admire yours a lot… I have a question for you, answer me well!”
“Please go ahead, President Gu!”
“Who do you think currently has more strength, Zhenyi Company or Tianjiao Company?”
I hesitated for a moment, “Tianjiao Company is an old company, operated by the Ding family for decades, they have occupied the traditional clothing market and are the leading company in the garment industry in A City. However, their fatal flaw is lack of innovation. Zhenyi Company, although established less than ten years ago, has seized the market of young people. Even though their market share isn’t as large as Tianjiao’s, their future development could surpass them.”
“If Tianjiao Company offers you a salary ten times higher than what you have now, and wants to poach you, would you go?”
