Qingwu listened quietly, only to feel her whole heart twitching slightly. The feeling was not painful, but it was not painless either.
She never knew that he had been calling Mrs. Wu secretly to inquire about her situation. No wonder she kept feeling someone coming into her room during the past two nights, turning the lights on and off. She always thought it was a dream before, but until now
Only then did she realize that it was Mrs. Wu who was covering her up with a quilt.
She is always dishonest when sleeping and likes to kick the quilt.
She and he had only shared the same bed for a few days, but he actually noticed it and remembered it in his heart...
"Sister-in-law Wu, I'm a little tired."
Qingwu found the phone, held it tightly in her arms, turned her back to Sister-in-law Wu, and the dim light and shadow drowned out the fog in her eyes.
"Okay, young lady, you're asleep. I'll bring you a glass of water and put it on your bedside table later. I've also left the lamp for you. If you need anything, just shout at the door. I'm sleeping on the sofa."
"Well, thank you, Sister-in-law Wu."
Hearing the sound of the door closing and Mrs. Wu's weak sigh, Qingwu raised her hand and touched the corners of her eyes, and sure enough, they were already wet.
If he scolded her so harshly before that she was sad and desperate and never wanted to talk to him again, then at this moment, the secret tenderness he didn't want to show in front of her made her heart tremble.
The tip of my heart is a little sweet, with a touch of bitterness on top of the sweetness, and a touch of salty edge on the bitter side. Those are her tears.
Ling Yansen, you are such a fool.
She was in a daze until she fell asleep. Qingwu forgot about the cell phone in her arms. Naturally, she also forgot about calling him.
Qingwu slept surprisingly peacefully. When she woke up, the sun was shining along the floor-length curtains on most of the floor. She suddenly stood up and took the electronic clock. It was already eleven in the morning.
"Really! Why didn't Sister-in-law Wu call me?" It had been a long time since I had slept for such a long time. When I woke up, my head felt dizzy.
It took a long time to find the mobile phone that had slipped from his chest and into the blanket. When he opened it, he saw fifty-eight missed calls, most of which were from Manager Wu, two of whom were senior executives of the Duan family, and the rest were either Duan Miaomiao's or Duan Miaomiao's.
Father's.
Qingwu got up and got out of bed. She didn't have time to put on her coat and quickly called Manager Wu back.
"Old Wu, I'm sorry that I got up a little late. I forgot to turn mute into the ringtone when I fell asleep last night. What happened? You called me so many times?"
"General manager, it's not good! Let me tell you, let's not talk about stopping lending and debt collection, and other messy contract terminations. As of now, Duan's stock price has plummeted. It opened at 2.73 last night.
When I went to work this morning, I saw that it had dropped to 1.63 per share. Now it is falling faster and faster, and it will soon fall to 1.4. What should I do?"
Qingwu rubbed her painful eyebrows and walked back and forth on the floor with her bare feet. What should I do? She knew what to do!
"Where's my father? There's no movement yet?"
"No, the chairman of the board held an emergency meeting of Duan's shareholders as soon as he came to the company this morning. However... your husband, as the largest shareholder, did not attend. The chairman is currently discussing with the stock broker to study countermeasures!
"
"Old Wu, you go and help the chairman first, I'll call Ling Yansen right away!"
Manager Wu was waiting for her to say, "Okay, okay!"
Qingwu hung up the phone, turned to Ling Yansen's number, and dialed it without thinking much. She stood blankly, the floor was cold, but she didn't feel anything on the soles of her feet. She was probably too nervous, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Got up.
There were footsteps approaching from behind, followed by Sister-in-law Wu's scream, "Auntie! Who told you to run around on the ground without wearing shoes? You at least paid attention to keeping warm and keeping out the cold! Fortunately, there were no shoes on the ground.
Water, otherwise you may fall if you are not careful..."
Qingwu suddenly turned around, her eyes sharp, and she put her index finger on her lips to signal Sister-in-law Wu to be silent.
Although Sister-in-law Wu was very dissatisfied, she also knew that she was about to be tortured to death by that messy Duan family member. She muttered and kept silent, and walked over with a cotton mop to put on Qingwu.
The beeping continued until the twentieth time, and the call was finally connected. Qingwu's heart suddenly twitched, she cleared her throat, and said quickly, "Ling Yansen, I have something to ask you! Please..."
"Sorry, the president is holding a regular meeting and it is inconvenient to answer the phone. If it is convenient, please leave your name and contact information. I will convey it to you after the regular meeting."
Listening to the mechanically gentle and distant secretary's voice on the phone, the little hope Qingwu had just ignited suddenly fell into the abyss. After staying in Jiayu for so long, she never knew that Ling Yansen would hand over his personal phone to Ling Yansen during meetings.
Secretarial custody.
There is no precedent for this.
So he wasn't having a morning meeting, he simply didn't want to answer her call, didn't want to hear her voice, let alone see her!
With her eyes filled with mist, she looked up at the pale roof, staring hard until the wetness went back, and she cleared her throat, "Thank you, no need."
The phone was thrown on the messy bed. Sister-in-law Wu was startled and looked up. She saw the young lady raising her head stubbornly, her pointed jaw shaking, her eye circles quickly turned red, she opened her mouth, but finally
She didn't think of any words of comfort. She sighed and squatted without moving. Sister-in-law Wu thought that she had to go to the company to talk to the young master in person. If this continued, even the day lily would be cold.
Ling Yansen had a shaggy face and a pair of red bloodshot eyes staring at the secretary like a hawk, making the secretary tremble with fear.
"She died?"
There was a long silence, and in the strange silence that filled the room, Zhou Jirong heard Ling Yansen ask this question with a strained voice and an expressionless face.
"I'm sorry, President, I'm really sorry! I... I did say what you meant, but... maybe the other party misunderstood, so I hung up the phone. I'm sorry! President, I really didn't mean it..." The secretary knew
She was in trouble, and she hurriedly explained, but the CEO's red eyes couldn't listen at all. He looked like a crazy leopard, and he would swallow her up the next moment.
"roll!"
With a wild roar, the entire fifty-floor wall shook. The employees in the cubicle trembled and all looked towards the president's office. After a while, the secretary rushed out of the door with her face covered in tears.
Ling Yansen picked up the beer can on the glass table and drank it hard. He hadn't slept all night and his tongue was numb. He couldn't tell whether it was wine or water.
Most of his clothes were wet, and he rubbed his hair irritably. Like a deflated rubber ball, he sank his heavy body into the sofa with a snap.
A pair of gloomy eyes, now yellowed, empty and dazed, filled with hopelessness.
Zhou Jirong rolled his eyes several times and threw it away, which was clearly saying that you should be pretentious, you should be in a cocoon, and your sister-in-law should hang up the phone.
