1247 Help Me Watch Out More
After hesitating for a moment, Lili still felt that since she had promised the CEO’s wife, she had to do what she said. Moreover, the CEO’s wife was not an outsider. The only person qualified to comfort the CEO was the CEO’s wife.
Most importantly, she had received a gift from the CEO’s wife. How could she not do her job?
With this thought in mind, Lili left her desk and went to the coffee room. When no one was around, she called Qiao Shuyi.
The call went through, and Qiao Shuyi’s worried voice came from the other end. “Hello, who is this?”
Lili’s heart thumped non-stop because she was nervous. She immediately said, “Hello, Madam. It’s… It’s Lili.”
“Lili?” Qiao Shuyi hesitated for a moment before coming back to her senses. “Oh, hello. Is this Changsheng’s secretary, Lili?”
“It’s me, Madam,” Lili said quickly.
However, before Lili could say anything, Qiao Shuyi spoke first. “Changsheng must be very sad now, right?”
Lili: “…”
Qiao Shuyi’s sigh came from the receiver. “I just received the news and am feeling sad, too. Although I’ve only met Director Han once, I’ve often heard Changsheng mention her. He said she’s a rare corporate elite, but I didn’t expect such misfortune to fall on her. It’s a pity.”
“Madam, you…” Lili was speechless. She initially wanted to tell Madam that the CEO might not be in good condition and needed someone to comfort him.
However, Qiao Shuyi seemed to be very upset.
Lili couldn’t help but think that the CEO’s wife was gentle and kind. She would feel sad for someone she had only seen once.
To be honest, after knowing that Director Han had passed away, Lili showed little emotion. She was just shocked.
“Thank you, Lili. I know why you’re calling.” Qiao Shuyi changed the topic and said, “I know Changsheng. With his huge emotions fluctuating, he needs time to relieve himself, so I’ll leave it to him. However, please help me pay more attention. If he wants to drink, don’t stop him. If he’s drunk, call me. I’ll pick him up, okay?”
Qiao Shuyi’s voice was gentle as if it had magical power. Lili subconsciously nodded and agreed. “Alright, Madam!”
In the office, Jian Changsheng was in the boss’s chair behind the desk. He lowered his head and stuffed his hands into his hair. Although no one could see his expression, it was not difficult to feel the immense grief around him.
The news came too suddenly – so sudden that he was not prepared at all. Yesterday, he was still asking his friends to find the best doctor overseas, but today, everything was irreversible.
Scenes of working with Han Wenjing surged into his mind. It surprised Jian Changsheng that he remembered so much. He had so many memories with Han Wenjing.
That was true. If he didn’t have memories, why would he be so sad?
After a long time, Jian Changsheng slowly stood up and walked to the wine cabinet expressionlessly. He took out a bottle of brandy and poured a glass. He raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
A spicy pleasure brushed across his throat. Jian Changsheng frowned, but he poured a second glass and drank it again.
Besides the wine cabinet was a calendar for 2002. It was almost the end of the year. This year was undoubtedly an eventful year for the Jian Group. Unknown forces suppressed the company, and billions of yuan of market value disappeared overnight. Han Wenjing passed away in the last month of the year.
He was slightly stunned. It was the seventeenth of December.
Jian Changsheng stared at this number with a wineglass. In the end, he smiled bitterly. To think that he still remembered that today was Meizi’s birthday.
But why did he have to think of it at this time? He couldn’t even wholeheartedly wish Meizi a happy birthday.
When Wang Yunzhong received the gift and rushed to Wang Yunmei’s house, it was already dark. As soon as he reached the door, he vaguely heard laughter coming from the house. It was obvious that everyone had arrived.
Jian Yu opened the door. When he saw Wang Yunzhong, Jian Yu smiled and called out, “Uncle is here.”
Wang Yunzhong smiled and entered the house. Seeing this, Wang Yunmei and the rest stood up and came out to welcome him. He looked up and saw that everyone had arrived. There were also a few unfamiliar faces. Wang Yunzhong apologized. “Oh, Xiao Mei. Is Brother late?”
“No, no. What time is it? We haven’t started cooking dinner yet!” Wang Yunmei smiled.
Wang Yunzhong explained, “I initially planned to come over at noon today, but I accompanied Qianqian to the prenatal examination in the morning. In the afternoon, I went to the police station because of Yunfa. After going back and forth, it delayed me until now…”
Wang Yunzhong’s unintentional words stunned Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi. Then, they asked in unison, “What happened to Yunfa?”
“Oh, I forgot that you didn’t know about this.” Wang Yunzhong was slightly stunned. He knew that he had let it slip. He initially didn’t plan to say this because he felt that there was no need to let his two sisters know.
However, he was their brother after all. Now that he was in the police station, how could Wang Yunzhi and Wang Yunmei not care? Wang Yunzhi asked, “Brother, what’s going on?”
Helpless, Wang Yunzhong could only tell them about Wang Yunfa.
Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi looked at each other. In the end, Wang Yunmei spoke first, “He always needs people to worry about him. Dad and Mom took out five hundred thousand yuan from the demolition fee for him to start his business. He can even send himself to the police station. Can he be saved?”
Wang Yunzhi was also very disappointed. She immediately said, “He’s already going to be a father. Did he think he was still a bachelor? He hasn’t grown up. Mom spoiled him!”
Seeing this, Wang Yunzhong quickly said, “Xiao Mei, it’s your birthday today. Don’t mention this unlucky thing. Brother is too quick with his words. I didn’t want you to know about this in the first place.”
Not wanting to affect the atmosphere because of his arrival, Wang Yunzhong changed the topic and looked at Wu Shaoqi. “Eh? This is?”
Seeing this, Wang Yunmei couldn’t help but glare at Wang Yunzhong. “Brother, don’t you know Old Wu?”
Everyone in South City knew Old Wu. Most importantly, his tofu stall was too famous. However, Wang Yunzhong left South City after entering university, so he naturally did not have a deep impression of Old Wu.
Moreover, he did not like to eat tofu.
Without Wang Yunmei’s further introduction, the two of them shook hands and got to know each other.
Then, she introduced Wu Bi as Old Wu’s son. In the end, she introduced Ji Haoyu!
Wang Yunmei kept her thoughts to herself and did not reveal Ji Haoyu’s true identity. Instead, she said that he was Jian Ai’s good friend.
