Chapter 176: 173. Huo Zhiyuan has fainted!

~7 min read 1,280 words

April 1st, Kangshilan Building.

Today, Zhang Siyan arrived at the company beaming with joy; as she passed by their project team, the employees under her were also all smiles.

Today was the day they were to sign the endorsement contract with Fang Hua. As long as this contract was signed, it meant their project would soon reach the final sales stage, and they would reach the time of harvest; how could they not be happy?

Not long after Zhang Siyan sat down in her office, Meng Zixuan knocked and entered, "Sister Siyan, Mr. Fang will be here soon. Should we go downstairs to welcome him?"

Meng Zixuan had initially called Zhang Siyan "Manager Zhang," but Zhang Siyan had asked Meng Zixuan to call her "Sister Siyan," and Meng Zixuan did not insist too much; besides, she was also a bit unaccustomed to calling Zhang Siyan "Manager Zhang."

"Alright, I'll go down immediately. Are all the things that need to be prepared ready?" Zhang Siyan said.

"Yes, everything is fully prepared, just waiting for Mr. Fang to come and sign the contract," Meng Zixuan said.

"That's good." Zhang Siyan breathed a slight sigh of relief; this was her first time presiding over such a big matter, and she was still a bit nervous inside.

"Don't be nervous, President Huo will be coming later," Meng Zixuan said.

"Mm."

Just as they were talking about Huo Zhiyuan, Zhao Jingyu was also calling Huo Zhiyuan.

Yesterday, Huo Zhiyuan had specifically asked her to remind her not to forget today's matter. Huo Zhiyuan also knew this was Zhang Siyan's first time presiding over such a big matter, so she wanted to come and support her.

And even if some unexpected situation occurred, she could remedy it in time.

So, when Zhao Jingyu saw in the morning that Huo Zhiyuan hadn't arrived, she started calling to remind her, but for some reason, Huo Zhiyuan's phone went through, but no one answered.

Zhao Jingyu frowned. It was rare for Huo Zhiyuan not to answer the phone. Could she be taking a shower? Was it inconvenient to answer the phone?

After waiting for a while longer, Zhao Jingyu called again, but still no one answered. Then, for some reason, a faint, ominous premonition slowly welled up in her heart.

Zhao Jingyu hurriedly called Huo Zhiyuan's private doctor to inquire about the situation.

Recently, Huo Zhiyuan had always felt a bit dizzy, but after the private doctor examined her, he only said it was malnutrition and that she would be fine after a little recuperation.

Zhao Jingyu was mentally prepared for this; after all, for more than half a year, the things Huo Zhiyuan had eaten to maintain her figure and skin had made even Zhao Jingyu's teeth ache just looking at them.

And it seemed that in this regard, Huo Zhiyuan's original wisdom had disappeared; from time to time, she would actually believe things from public accounts, leaving Zhao Jingyu not knowing what to say.

For this reason, Huo Zhiyuan had several times forced herself to endure the discomfort and finished all the supplements that Sun Guilan had asked Huo Jiaxiong to bring.

Originally, Zhao Jingyu didn't pay much attention to these things; after all, with Huo Zhiyuan's way of eating and maintaining herself, some malnutrition was normal.

But now, no matter how many times she called Huo Zhiyuan's phone, no one answered, and as that sweet voice came from her phone again, Zhao Jingyu could no longer sit still.

Huo Zhiyuan's private doctor didn't answer the phone either. If Huo Zhiyuan hadn't answered, she could have found some excuses, but the private doctor not answering her call, and during the day at that, was somewhat unjustifiable.

Just at this moment, Meng Zixuan came looking for her, "Assistant Zhao, when will Aunt Huo arrive?"

Zhao Jingyu suppressed the unease in her heart and said, "She should be here soon, right?"

"Should?" Meng Zixuan immediately grasped the point.

Zhao Jingyu didn't explain much and said to her, "I'll go take a look with you first."

She knew that neither Zhang Siyan nor Meng Zixuan had much experience, and now that Huo Zhiyuan hadn't arrived yet, she could only go and see for herself.

Just like that, they waited for another half an hour or so, but Huo Zhiyuan still hadn't arrived, and some people were getting anxious from waiting.

"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry, President Huo might have been delayed by something last minute, I'm truly sorry," Zhang Siyan said.

Fang Hua wasn't in a hurry either and smiled at Zhang Siyan, "It's fine, I have time all day anyway; I'll just take it as a good opportunity to look around a big company like Kangshilan."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Fang," Zhang Siyan said with a sigh of relief.

Another ten minutes passed, and just as everyone was waiting anxiously, Huo Jiaxiong on the side whispered to Zhang Siyan, "Manager Zhang, why don't we sign the endorsement contract first? I suspect my aunt might be tied up with something and can't just let Mr. Fang wait like this."

Zhang Siyan thought that made sense, and Huo Jiaxiong was Huo Zhiyuan's nephew—she knew this, or rather, everyone in the company knew it; after all, Huo Li had been running to the company for no reason lately, making everyone aware of this matter.

Just as Zhang Siyan was about to sign the contract, Zhao Jingyu saw a glimmer of joy in Huo Jiaxiong's eyes, and her bad premonition suddenly increased.

"Don't sign!" Zhao Jingyu blurted out.

Zhang Siyan and Fang Hua were both stunned, and everyone else looked at Zhao Jingyu. What was she doing?

Zhao Jingyu didn't know why she had done this either, but there had been a sense of unease in her heart the whole time.

Zhao Jingyu had been training for such a long time that she still had some sense of responsibility, "Miss Zhang, could you please delay it for a moment?"

Although Zhang Siyan didn't understand what Zhao Jingyu meant, Zhao Jingyu had been very caring toward her and Qian Li for such a long time, so she didn't ask further and just expressed her apologies to Fang Hua.

If it were someone else, even if Fang Hua had a gentle temperament, he would probably be angry by now, but since he was facing Zhang Siyan, he still had that much patience.

Seeing this scene, a flash of annoyance appeared in Huo Jiaxiong's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Zhao Jingyu first asked Zhang Siyan to take Fang Hua to tour Kangshilan, while she herself quickly headed toward Huo Zhiyuan's villa.

When she arrived at the villa entrance, she knocked but no one answered, making Zhao Jingyu feel even more uneasy.

Just as she was knocking again, someone passed by, "Are you looking for President Huo?"

"Hello, Madam Wang." Zhao Jingyu recognized this person too.

"I saw an ambulance come this morning; it seems President Huo fainted and should be in the hospital now," Madam Wang, who also recognized Zhao Jingyu, said at this time.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingyu was stunned; she never expected such a result, and that bad premonition in her heart had come true.

"Thank you, Madam Wang. Do you know which hospital?" Zhao Jingyu asked anxiously.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the First People's Hospital," Madam Wang said.

After knowing the location, Zhao Jingyu couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly drove to the First People's Hospital.

She didn't expect that Huo Zhiyuan had actually fainted, and that she, as her assistant, hadn't been notified; under normal circumstances, Huo Zhiyuan's private doctor should have notified her immediately.
