How could I not know?
It was rare for Qin Sheng to sleep from noon to dusk when he was not tired. He did not know whether it was the hypnotic effect of Qing 'er's Guzheng or the sudden pressure that made Qin Sheng somewhat breathless.
During this period, Qing 'er did not disturb Qin Sheng. She let Qin Sheng sleep like this. She did not even wake him up when it was time to eat. Every time she saw Qin Sheng, she felt that he was too tired, as if he had too much pressure that he had to face. It was the same this time. If nothing happened, Qin Sheng would not suddenly come to her. Consequently, Qing' er let Qin Sheng sleep like this.
After Qin Sheng woke up, he found that it was already dark. He asked in a daze, "What time is it? How long have I slept? "
Qing 'er stayed by Qin Sheng's side all the time. During this period, Jiang Xianbang came back and went out. She did not disturb Qin Sheng. She just quietly read a book beside him. After seeing Qin Sheng wake up, Qing' er walked over and said, "You're awake. It's 6: 30 now. You've slept for seven hours."
Qin Sheng was a little surprised. It did not occur to him that he would sleep for so long. He got up with a headache and looked for his mobile phone. He had disappeared for so long that others would definitely be very worried. However, he did not find his mobile phone.
Qing 'er knew that Qin Sheng was looking for his mobile phone. When Qin Sheng fell asleep, a few calls came. She was afraid that she would wake him up, so she turned her mobile phone to silent mode. At this time, she took out her mobile phone and handed it to Qin Sheng. She said, "Here you are. I was afraid that I would wake you up, so I turned it to silent mode."
Qin Sheng did not say anything. He knew that Qing 'er was concerned about him. After taking the mobile phone, he lowered his head and went to work. There were a lot of missed calls and WeChat messages. After all, there were a lot of things to do in the company, and there was the follow-up of Third Master Wu and so on.
Qing 'er did not disturb him. She just said, "You go ahead. I'll ask the kitchen to heat up the food. You must be hungry."
He received a few calls from Lin Su, Chang Baji, Bao Fan, and Zhong Shan. There were more WeChat messages, but Qin Sheng was not in a hurry to reply them. He first called Lin Su and the rest back to prevent them from worrying too much. Then he dealt with the company's affairs. Zhong Shan told him about the board meeting today. As a non-executive director of the group, he was supposed to attend the meeting by video call. Moreover, Wang Chengshui would report the inspection results to the board of directors, which would definitely target him. If he did not attend, how could he confront Wang Chengshui and the big shots behind him?
Who knew that something like this would happen today?
The final result that Zhong Shan said was actually similar to what Qin Sheng had thought. Under the situation where the old man could no longer control the board of directors, those hostile forces would definitely make things difficult for him. This was not only to suppress him, but also to suppress the old man. As the old man's son, the old man could not say much. He could only rely on others to stand up. However, the gap between the two sides had been widened. In the end, Qin Sheng was ordered to reflect to the board of directors.
However, Qin Sheng was not in the mood to think about these things now. His focus now was on other things. For example, how long did the old man have? If something happened to the old man, how could he control the Qin family? Did he have this ability? Could he withstand the pressure? Secondly, how should he end the matter in Shanghai? How should he deal with Yan Chaozong? He had been fighting with Yan Chaozong for so long. Originally, at the last moment, he could crush Yan Chaozong at will. But now, he could only let the old man deal with it. He was somewhat unwilling.
After sorting out these things, half an hour had passed unconsciously. Qing 'er saw Qin Sheng come back to his senses.
After that, she came over and asked Qin Sheng to eat first. Qin Sheng did not refuse, but he was still thinking about those things when he was eating. His brows were still furrowed, which made Qing 'er feel sorry for him. However, she knew that she could not help Qin Sheng, so she kept putting food into Qin Sheng's bowl.
After the meal, Qin Sheng was ready to leave. He did not go home directly, but went to his grandmother's place. This time, the most important thing was not to see his grandmother, but to talk to his small aunt. After calling her, he did not expect that his small aunt was at his grandmother's place, so he went directly to her.
Jiang Xianbang's old foreign-style house was very close to Sinan Road, so it did not take Qin Sheng long to get there. His small aunt, Zhu Qingwen, was in the yard with his grandmother enjoying the cool air. Recently, his grandmother had been recovering well and was in a much better state of mind. She smiled and waved at Qin Sheng. Seeing his grandmother's kind smile, Qin Sheng suddenly felt much better.
The old lady was already at this age. She knew her own body better than anyone else. She had never expected anything. She had experienced what she had to experience. Sooner or later, she would leave this world. It was just a matter of a few days. What was there to think about?
"Aiyo, why is my grandson's face so ugly?" After Qin Sheng walked closer, the old lady took the initiative to hold Qin Sheng's hand and said with concern. She seemed to be in a good mood.
Zhu Qingwen and the medical staff accompanied the old lady. Since the old lady lived in Shanghai for a long time, Zhu Qingwen would come almost every two days, no more than three days at most, unless she was on a business trip. However, she would also let her son and daughter come to accompany the old lady. Her daughter was really filial.
Even if Qin Sheng did not show his emotions on his face, the old lady, who had seen countless people, would still sense it. However, he did not want his grandmother to worry about him. He smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm fine. I eat well and sleep well. You don't have to worry about me."
Although the old lady was old, it was not that she did not know anything. She just did not want to worry about these things. She said casually, "That's good."
The weather was always unpredictable in summer. At this time, it was already windy. The weather forecast said that there would be heavy rain for a few days. The medical staff was worried about the old lady's health. It happened that it was time for the old lady to take her medicine. At this time, they persuaded the old lady to go in and rest. The old lady never made things difficult for these medical staff. She smiled and nodded as she was pushed into the living room.
In the yard, Zhu Qingwen and Qin Sheng were not in a hurry to go in. Since Qin Sheng called her in a hurry, there must be something urgent. At this time, Zhu Qingwen asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? "
In front of his Small Aunt, Qin Sheng did not need to hide anything, nor did he need to prepare anything. He said directly, "Small Aunt, is there really no way to deal with my old man?"
As expected, Zhu Qingwen had already guessed that it must be related to the Qin Family. Otherwise, what else could make Qin Sheng so anxious? She shook her head and smiled bitterly as she said, "Qin Sheng, your father's problem is far from as simple as most people think. If it were that simple, it would not be so difficult."
Although Zhu Qingwen did not say it directly, she had already answered Qin Sheng, which made his heart somewhat heavy. He asked again straightforwardly, "Small Aunt, are you really not going to help him?"
Last time when his brother Zhu Weiguo came to Shanghai, he had already explained a lot of things to Qin Sheng. Since Qin Sheng could still come to her now, it meant that he had also realized how serious the Qin Family's problem was. She said helplessly, "It's not that we don't want to help him. It's that we can't help him. The scope of this problem is too wide, which has long been beyond the Zhu Family's ability."
If the Zhu Family could not help the Qin Family at this time, who else would be willing to help the Qin Family?
Although he had already known that this would be the result, he still felt very disappointed.
Hearing his aunt's answer in person, Qin Sheng was still very disappointed. He let out a long sigh and did not know who else to ask for help. The Zhu Family was the only hope he had.
"Qin Sheng, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Sometimes it's not necessarily a bad thing to break down and build up." Zhu Qingwen comforted him in this way.
Qin Sheng did not say anything else, nor did he say what Gongsun had told him today. The reason why he came to ask for help from his Small Aunt in person was that he knew that his father would not turn to the Zhu Family for help. Not to mention the grudges between the two families over these years, the main thing was that the old man could not put down his pride, so he had to come forward.
Now that his Small Aunt had given him a clear answer, he could not continue to make things difficult for her. After all, his Small Aunt did not have the final say in the Zhu Family alone. They also had their own considerations, and it was impossible for them to disregard everything for the Qin Family.
Qin Sheng did not go in to greet his grandmother again. He just asked his Small Aunt to tell his grandmother that he had something urgent to deal with and had to go back first. Since the Zhu Family was completely cut off, he had to make another plan. At this time, time was too precious for him. He could not waste any more time. After all, the Qin Family could be in trouble at any time.
When Zhu Qingwen returned to the living room, the old lady had finished drinking her medicine. After she told the old lady that Qin Sheng had to leave for something urgent, the old lady did not seem to be surprised. She asked meaningfully, "Qingwen, did Sheng 'er come to you? Is it because of Qin Changan? "
"Mom, don't think too much about it." Zhu Qingwen did not want the old lady to worry about these things, so she said casually.
The old lady curled her lips and said disapprovingly, "Do you really think that I'm so old that I don't know anything? Qin Changan made such a big scene this time, how could I not know?"
Zhu Qingwen did not know what to say at the moment. The old lady could not be fooled by a group of people. However, the old lady had not cared about these things of the Zhu Family for a long time. If the old lady suddenly said that she would help the Qin Family, they would not know what to do.
Fortunately, after saying this, the old lady did not continue to talk about this matter. She just said that she was sleepy and asked the medical staff to send her back to her room to rest.
After Qin Sheng left Sinan Road, he was ready to go back to his apartment in Lujiazui, Pudong. Lin Su should have arrived at this time. Qin Sheng wanted to go back and carefully deduce what would happen next. He needed to calm down and think about it, instead of being so flustered now.
On his way back, Qin Sheng took the initiative to call his sister Qin Ran. After the phone was connected, Qin Sheng asked directly, "Sister, are you okay?"
Qin Ran, who had already gotten off work but did not go home, was a little surprised. She said, "Uh, what's wrong? I'm fine."
This somewhat surprised Qin Sheng. Normally, his sister should know these things before him. Could it be that she did not know what Uncle Gongsun said? It should not be. However, Qin Sheng thought about it carefully. It seemed that it was also possible. If his sister had really known it, she would definitely have called him.
Qin Sheng asked as if nothing had happened, "Oh, that's good. Everything is fine at home. How is the old man?"
Qin Ran let out a long sigh and said, "Alas, he is still the same. The old man is under too much pressure. During this period, he has aged a lot. If you have time recently, take some time to leave home."
After hearing this, Qin Sheng guessed that his sister definitely did not know it. It was impossible for her to hide it from him. Since his sister did not know it, Qin Sheng was not willing to tell her. After all, once his sister knew it, she might be under more pressure than him. This was what Qin Sheng did not want to see. After all, he was a man of the Qin Family.
Consequently, Qin Sheng hung up the phone without saying a few words.
