“Ning Chun, there’s no medicine for regret in life. I can only try my best to rectify my past mistakes. You must help me,” Ning Zhe said with a sigh.
Ning Chun nodded with tears in his eyes. “Don’t worry, Master. I’ll do my best to assist you. You must listen to the doctor so you can recover quickly!”
Ning Zhe looked at Ning Chun, relieved. He felt exhausted. After a while, he waved his hand, indicating for Ning Chun to take his leave.
Ning Chun wiped his tears away and calmed down, hiding all the emotions that were swirling in his heart.
At this time, Su Tong suddenly walked in with Ning Dong in tow.
Ning Chun hurriedly rose to his feet. “Madam, Young Master.”
Su Tong walked to Ning Zhe’s bedside and looked at him. She tucked the blanket for him as she said with a sigh, “Ning Chun, it’s been hard on you. You’ve been here every night to look after Master, and you still have to go to work during the day. Can you handle it?”
Ning Chun lowered his head and said respectfully, “It’s fine, Madam. Master is just resting anyway so I’m mostly resting on the pull-out couch…”
Su Tong did not say anything while Ning Dong’s gaze was fixed on Ning Zhe’s face.
Upon seeing this, Ning Chun said hesitantly, “Madam, Master’s condition hasn’t improved so far. I have an idea that I want to discuss with you…”
Ning Chun said, “I’d like to arrange for you and Young Master to attend a meeting at the company.”
Su Tong looked at Ning Chun in shock.
Even Ning Dong shifted his gaze from Ning Zhe to Ning Chun upon hearing these words.
Ning Chun continued to say glibly, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. The important thing is to take a look at the workings of the company; this is especially true for Young Master. Young Master should go to the company more often. When Master recovers, Young Master can follow by his side and learn from him. If… If Master doesn’t recover in a short time, it’s best that Young Master familiarizes himself with the company…”
Su Tong’s eyes lit up; she could barely conceal the joy on her face.
Even Ning Dong was moved by these words.
Su Tong asked tentatively, “Then, do I have to get the board’s approval? Will there be any objections? After all, I’ve been away from the company for many years, and I’d only dealt with trivial matters in the past. Moreover, Ning Dong is still young…”
Ning Chun straightened his back before he said, “Madam, don’t worry. I’ll make the arrangements. There won’t be any problem with the board of directors. Moreover, you and Young Master will only be sitting in on the meetings and won’t affect the company’s decisions. What I mean is both of you should listen and learn first. There’ll be a day you have to take over the company, after all. What do you think?”
The implications behind Ning Chun’s words were very clear.
Su Tong could not help but sigh in relief inwardly. As it turned out, Ning Chun had already made preparations for the possibility of Ning Zhe not regaining consciousness.
At this moment, Ning Dong suddenly asked. “Then, who will look after father?”
Ning Chun said, “I’ll do it. I can’t accompany both of you during the meetings. I’m afraid it’ll alarm the board of directors. It’s best for us to split the tasks. I’ll take care of Master so everyone can feel at ease.”
This arrangement was very reasonable.
Su Tong was overjoyed. “Dongdong, we’ll follow Ah Chun’s arrangements. He’s been with your father for 20 to 30 years; he understands your father’s feelings the best. We’ll do as he says.”
These words were very tactful. If the mother and son performed well, they would naturally benefit from it. If they made mistakes, they could just push the blame to Ning Chun and say that it was his idea; they were just puppets.
Ning Dong looked at Ning Chun.
Ning Chun’s expression remained respectful as though he did not find anything wrong with Su Tong’s sugar-coated words.
Su Tong pulled Ning Dong over. “Look, this outfit of yours is too childish. We’ll have to get you a few more suits; they’ll make you look more mature and reliable.”
Following that, Su Tong dragged Ning Dong out of the ward. She did not even spare a glance for Ning Zhe who was lying on the bed.
