Chapter 340: I Want to See Him

~6 min read 1,025 words

What are you saying? Your dad, General Manager Xiao? How come, could it be that General Manager Xiao is also interested in this thing? Or are you saying he's seen my design work?

When they were talking in the study back then, I had already heard everything; otherwise, I would never have known that you two actually had this kind of relationship.

Oh, I see, that's how it is. How come? Besides saying those things, didn't they say anything bad at all?

No, really not.

Okay, I understand. No matter what, you could proactively tell me all this; honestly, I'm still excited, after all it's your family affair—you'd rather betray your family and still want to help me, right?

That's right, I just want to help you, and I also know your path ahead isn't going to be easy.

What does that mean.

You're still rather sensitive, and when he said that, he suddenly seemed to get tense.

In fact, they are still in a critical period, and the matter between Xiao Ming and Zong Long remains unclear to this day, including how far things have progressed today—actually, Zong Mengni is completely kept in the dark.

Actually, there's not much to it, but my dad didn't give me too many details; however, from his tone when speaking to me, I get the feeling that this company has already completed the acquisition.

You, what are you saying? The acquisition is completed? That, that can't be right—how could it happen so fast? Besides, didn't you already tell your dad? That's clearly a trap.

So, this is what I'm most worried about; moreover, my dad is the type who never fights unprepared. Since he was able to take over Xing Ya Company, I believe he must have realized this is a trap, and that he deliberately jumped into it.

What do you mean? Are you saying she has a better method?

I don't really know about that. To be honest, my dad rarely shares his business methods and experiences with me, but from his tone today I can sense that things should have temporarily come to a halt.

Impossible, absolutely impossible. Moreover, my dad's previous plan could be described as flawless—how could he possibly be easily exploited? If he goes ahead with this acquisition, it's tantamount to a dead end.

I'm not sure either. Anyway, the feeling my dad gave me is like this—Mengni, I think we two had better not get involved in these matters, after all, it's just their competition.

Yes, if I wanted to get involved, do you think the outcome would still be like today's? Besides, I once betrayed my dad.

Regarding this matter, Zong Mengni still feels guilty to this day; she feels that she truly betrayed Zong Long.

After all, Zong Long is her own biological father, yet now she has switched sides and is actually helping an outsider—honestly, from Zong Long's perspective, this might be just as unacceptable.

Alright, you should be about done with your work here, right? Let's go, let's go out to eat something. Besides, when I came over just now, passing the suburban area, I noticed there's a restaurant that seems like a farmhouse—how about we go try it out?

But I still have some things left to do, and moreover, this afternoon your two younger sisters have been staying here for half a day; basically, I've just been keeping them company.

What's the big deal? Work is never finished, and you still have to eat, after all.

But.

Alright, alright, there's no 'but' about it—I've come all this way; what, are you planning to have me stay here and work with you, then work late into the night before getting something to eat?

Xiao Yunzhe laughed as he spoke to Zong Mengni; Zong Mengni just shyly shook her head, then turned back to look at some of the design plans on the table.

Never mind, actually what Xiao Yunzhe said makes sense—these tasks are never-ending.

Alright, since you've come all this way today, I'll be the host and treat you well.

No, let me treat you instead; moreover, you voluntarily gave up such a big business this time—honestly, I don't even know how to face you in my heart.

What's the big deal? Business is made by people, after all, and this money is something you can never finish earning; I really don't want to harm certain things because of this.

Xiao Yunzhe didn't say anything; he just shook his head vigorously—perhaps only at this moment can one truly realize all this.

Some things, in fact, about Zong Mengni, truly cannot be measured with money.

Xiao Ming at this moment, in fact, is in the hospital and can only stay here guarding.

Hey, how did you come over?

Just as Xiao Ming was waiting outside the door, he saw the attending physician walk out from inside.

However, seeing him now, he had already changed into casual clothes, apparently having gotten off work.

Doctor, are you going back now?

Oh, yes, I've already gotten off work.

How is the patient inside?

Pretty good, the condition has remained stable; moreover, this afternoon the patient has basically regained consciousness and can even have a simple conversation with us.

Doctor, then, can I, can I go in to see him and have a chat?

Now? Right now, visiting hours are already over.

Doctor, I've been waiting outside all day, and you didn't let me visit—now you ought to give me a chance.

Hehe, okay, but I'll tell you this: the time can't be too long—fifteen minutes, at most fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, you must come out immediately; moreover, if you're not discharged, tomorrow afternoon I'll transfer him to a regular ward, and then you'll have plenty of time to meet.

Okay, thank you, doctor.

After hearing that, Xiao Ming was truly excited; moreover, now that things have come to this point, honestly he doesn't want to share it with anyone— the only person he wants to share it with is Liu Peipei.

After putting on those protective garments, he headed straight for Liu Peipei's bed, familiar with the route.
