Thirty percent of the shares had disappeared. This made Ding Ning a little confused. Who was this mysterious shareholder?
The Uyghur body cleansing procedure was not complicated. In fact, it was just washing the body and wrapping it in white cloth. Three layers for men and five layers for women.
In less than an hour, the body cleansing was completed. Aniwar was wrapped in white cloth and carried in a 'tawti' (wooden frame for carrying the body). Relatives and friends escorted the body to the mosque for the funeral.
It was worth mentioning that women were not allowed to attend funerals. Therefore, Aniwar's mother, mother-in-law, and female relatives stayed at home. Xilin and the other women naturally stayed behind.
Diba's parents also arrived. Father Diba went to attend the funeral, and Mother Diba stayed at home with Aniwar's mother. She shed a lot of tears.
As Aniwar's friend, Ding Ning should have gone to see him off, but he stayed behind in the name of worrying about Aniwar's mother's health. This won everyone's approval. After all, he was a skilled doctor. If Aniwar's mother was too sad, everyone could rest assured with him around.
In fact, Ding Ning just didn't like to attend funerals. He liked to save people, like to pick them up, but he didn't like to see them off. He hated parting the most. Moreover, he had always felt that the living needed companionship more than the dead.
At least, Xilin needed his company now. Even if she didn't say or do anything, as long as she could see him by her side, her heart would be at peace.
With these elderly women accompanying Xilin and Aniwar's mother, Diba and the others were also relaxed. They only needed to accompany Xilin with the other young women.
Ding Ning also had a chance to ask Xilin why Aniwar only held thirty percent of the company's shares. Who did the other thirty percent belong to?
But to his disappointment, Xilin never asked about Aniwar's affairs and knew nothing about it. This made Ding Ning scratch his head. Even if they were fake husband and wife, could she please care about how much property she had?
Since this path was blocked, it seemed that he could only think of other ways.
This made him feel that things were getting more and more interesting. Even the distribution of shares in a medium-sized pharmaceutical company was so confusing. It seemed that there were a lot of tricks involved.
Chen Xiaolu accompanied Ainur for a while. After receiving a call, she said that she had something to do at work and left in a hurry. Ding Ning was also relieved. Although the girl didn't speak, she kept staring at him with murderous eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Ding Ling Ling.
His cell phone rang. Ding Ning smiled apologetically at the relatives of the Anival family who had been disturbed. He stood up and walked outside. When he reached the courtyard, he pressed the answer button. "Hello, Wuxia. Has she arrived yet?"
…
Half an hour passed, but Ding Ning had not come back yet. Diba was a little anxious and kept looking outside, but he never saw Ding Ning's figure.
Ring ring ring!
The phone rang again, and all the women looked at their mobile phones, but found that it was not their own phone, and looked around blankly to find the source of the call.
After searching for a long time, she finally found a white female phone that had fallen in the gap of the sofa. Ainur rubbed her red and swollen eyes and picked up the phone. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "It's Sister Xiaolu's phone."
Seeing that the caller was' Dad ', Ainur hesitated for a moment before answering. "Uncle, I'm Sister Xiaolu's friend. Her phone is at my house."
"Oh, you are Ainur, right? About your brother … Sigh! My condolences. "
A gentle male voice came from the other side. It seemed that he already knew what happened to the Ainur family.
"Thank you … Uncle!"
Ainur held back her tears and said in a choked voice.
Father Xiaolu waited for Ainur to calm down before asking anxiously, "Ainur, I want to ask, how long has Xiaolu been away from your house?"
"Hmm, she left in a hurry after receiving a call. It should be … forty minutes."
Ainur looked at the last call and found that it was also from Father Xiaolu. She calculated the time and answered.
"Strange, why hasn't she arrived after so long? Maybe it's not easy to get a taxi. Alright, Ainur, Uncle will hang up first."
Father Xiaolu muttered in confusion and said politely.
"Okay, Uncle. When you see Sister Xiaolu, tell her that her phone is with me. Tell her to come and get it when she has time."
Ainur said politely.
"Okay, come visit with Xiaolu when you have time. Goodbye."
Father Xiaolu said politely and hung up the phone.
Ainur put away Chen Xiaolu's phone and recalled her brother's voice and appearance. When she thought about how they would be separated from each other from now on, she immediately felt sorrow in her heart. She covered her mouth and sobbed softly, tears blurring her vision once again …
Governor's office.
Governor Cheng hung up the phone and shook his head helplessly. He shouted towards the door, "Qifei."
"Governor Cheng, what can I do for you?"
Secretary Yang walked in quickly and asked respectfully.
"Your Auntie Qin and Xiaoxu are coming today. I wanted to get Xiaolu to pick them up, but this child has been so careless all day. I haven't seen her even until now. Her phone is at her friend's house and I can't contact her. Ask Old Niu to make a trip to the airport to pick them up."
Governor Cheng looked at his watch and smiled bitterly.
"Ah, Auntie Qin and Brother Xu are coming today? Should I go with Brother Niu to pick them up? "
Yang Qifei said in surprise, and then volunteered himself.
"That won't do. There's still a while. You have to attend as well. Let Old Niu go by himself. It's not like he doesn't know them."
Governor Cheng shook his head with a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth.
Ever since he came to Qing Jiang to take up his duties, he and his wife had been living separately. Only his daughter followed him after graduating from university.
Originally, he and his wife had agreed to go back to Yan Jing this year for a family reunion. But now, the situation had changed. He had to stay in Qing Jiang to take charge. Because of this, his wife even quarreled with him. But in the end, she was a reasonable person and chose to compromise. She flew to Qing Jiang with her son to celebrate the New Year.
Yang Qifei scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that there's a meeting."
"Although we've gotten rid of the big tumor that is the Li family, a centipede is still alive. We can't take it lightly."
Governor Cheng's face became serious again and he said very seriously. Secretary Yang nodded repeatedly. Seeing that he had no other orders, he tiptoed out of the office and called the driver, Old Niu, to inform him to pick up the governor's wife and young master at the airport.
Then, as if he thought of something, he took out his phone and walked to the side. Seeing that there was no one around, he dialed a number. "Where are you?"
"Brother, I lost her. I'm looking for her all over the world now."
A man's timid voice came from the other end of the phone.
Yang Qifei's face instantly changed. He couldn't help but curse, "F * ck, what are you doing?"
"I didn't do it on purpose. It's so cold outside, and it's snowing. I turned on the heater in the car and kept feeling sleepy. I didn't expect that she would disappear in the time I took a nap."
The man on the other side was about to cry and explained with grievance.
"I don't want to listen to any of your explanations. Go and find her for me right now. If anything happens to Xiaolu, I'll skin you alive."
Yang Qifei was burning with anxiety. He no longer had the mood to argue with him. He cursed and hung up the phone.
He was also speechless about the youngest brother in the family, Yang Qiyuan. He was a scout in the army and had a bright future. But because of his bad temper, he was fired for beating up his superior.
After returning to the place, he didn't find a job. He idled around in society all day. His family was worried about him, fearing that he would give up and go down the wrong path.
After all, he was his own younger brother. As the big brother, he couldn't ignore him. At that time, he hadn't become the governor's secretary yet. He could only put down his old face and ask someone to find him a job as a white-collar worker in a company.
But he was good. On the third day of his work, he beat up the company's boss and hospitalized him. When he got the news, his head was about to explode. He wanted to take him to apologize to the boss, but he was unwilling to go. He even said that the old guy harassed a female colleague and deserved a beating.
In the end, he could only thicken his face and apologize to the boss. Although the boss didn't pursue the matter for his sake, the job was definitely gone. Who would dare to hire an employee who even dared to beat up the boss?
He was so angry that he didn't want to meddle in his brother's business anymore. But his parents were old and begged him to take care of Qiyuan. He couldn't just watch him go down the wrong path.
His heart softened. He could only use his connections to find a job for him. He was a security guard in a small estate's property management company. But Yang Qiyuan was good. Although he was better than the last time, he only lasted for a week before he beat up the owner who came to the property management company to complain. The reason was that the guy looked fierce and didn't look like a good person.
Yang Qifei really didn't know what to do with his younger brother. He was so angry that he didn't want to care about him anymore and let him fend for himself.
Later, this brat opened a bar with a few scoundrel friends. Although Yang Qifei didn't like him doing this, as long as he didn't cause trouble for his family, he would turn a blind eye.
After two years, nothing happened in the bar. His younger brother also seemed to have changed a lot. He looked like a successful person. Only then did the relationship between the two brothers ease up.
It just so happened that Wu City wasn't peaceful during this time. As the governor's secretary, Yang Qifei had to consider what the leaders couldn't. Those people were extremely daring. Although they might not dare to make a move on the governor, they might dare to make a move on his family.
Although Xiaolu followed his mother's surname and had a very secretive relationship with the governor's daughter, there were no walls in this world that didn't have ears. If someone wanted to investigate, they could still find out.
Therefore, in order to nip trouble in the bud and prevent some people from using despicable methods in desperation, Yang Qifei thought of his younger brother who was a scout and specially arranged for him to secretly protect the governor's daughter. But he didn't expect that this guy would be as unreliable as ever and actually lose track of the person.
Thinking about how Xiaolu hadn't shown up for such a long time, Yang Qifei felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. Could something really have happened?
As the saying goes, a new ruler brings his own courtiers. From the moment he became Governor Cheng's secretary, his career and fate were firmly tied together with Governor Cheng's. He was labeled as his.
It could be said that if Governor-General Cheng rose to the top, then he would also rise to the top. If Governor-General Cheng fell from power, then his political career would come to an end. Therefore, he was more concerned about anything related to Governor-General Cheng than anyone else.
Yang Qifei paced back and forth. He was very conflicted. He didn't know whether he should report to Governor Cheng. After all, his younger brother only lost track of Xiaolu. Something might not have really happened.
If he hurriedly reported to Governor Cheng based on an uncertain guess, and if nothing happened to Xiaolu, Governor Cheng might not say anything, but he would definitely give him an evaluation of him as someone who only listened to the wind and wasn't mature enough.
But if something really happened to Xiaolu and he missed the best time to search and rescue because he didn't report it in time, leading to irreversible consequences, then it would be too late for regrets.
