…
Bai Lu held her breath, not daring to move at all.
When she was sure that the woman was far away, she gasped for air. Her ankle hurt so much that her forehead was covered in cold sweat. She bit her lip hard. She really couldn't take it anymore, let alone go down the mountain. The most important thing now was to take out her phone and call the driver who was waiting for her downstairs …
Liang Clan.
The atmosphere in the reception room was very tense. Six men sat neatly on the sofa on both sides of the room. All of them were middle-aged and had an aggressive look on their faces.
"If you don't give us an explanation for this matter, we won't let it go just like that!" The middle-aged man sitting on the right side frowned impatiently. "Feifan, we've always believed in your father's leadership ability. We also believe that you're young and promising, and that each new generation will surpass the previous one. But now …"
"Are we asking you to fork out your money now? Or do you think that we'll give you less bonus at the end of the year? "
Liang Feifan sat right at the front. His eyes were cold and his long legs were crossed elegantly. His slender fingers were casually supporting his strong chin, and his thumb was gently rubbing his index finger. He exuded a natural domineering aura. His tone was low, but every word was indisputable. "Uncles, I know what you're all thinking, but you don't have to worry. Isn't the Liang Clan doing well now? It's true that the cooperation with the Ye Group was stopped midway, but who said that the Ye Group is the only one in A City that's worthy of cooperating with the Liang Clan? There are other companies. "
"Of course, other than the Ye Group, there's also Far East!"
Another man chuckled and said sarcastically, "But Feifan, as far as I know, the CEO of Far East seems to have some history with you."
"We've never worked with Far East before. Who doesn't know that Chu Weiye from Far East is a smiling tiger? He's best at hiding a knife behind a smile. This kind of person is not easy to deal with!"
"If we go to Far East now, he'll definitely hit us when we're down."
"These cooperation projects were originally with the Ye Group. Now that they've stopped, who would be willing to take over this mess? Did he really think that Far East Chu Weiye was a fool? He's very shrewd! "
...?
Liang Feifan listened without batting an eyelid. His sharp black eyes slightly narrowed as he swept his gaze over the people below who were discussing with their saliva flying everywhere. It was as if he could see their inner hearts from their mouths that were unceasingly talking — — black.
For the past few days, his good elders had been pressuring him every day. It was just to force the Liang Clan to change the dynasty.
"I know who I'm going to work with."
Liang Feifan uncrossed his long legs. Before he could finish speaking, the door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Guan Chao rushed in with a panicked expression.
"Mr. Liang, bad news …"
Liang Feifan saw that Guan Chao, who was always as calm as a mountain, was actually panicking. His heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition flashed through his mind. He didn't think too much about it. He got up and walked towards the door. "You don't have to keep an eye on those suspended projects anymore. I'll give you a satisfactory answer in five days."
"Wait!" Someone stood up and stopped Liang Feifan.
"Feifan, don't say that I'm not protecting you as your uncle. Everyone knows that the business world is like a battlefield. Even blood-related brothers have to settle accounts clearly. We can't mess around like you. Since you said five days, we'll give you five days. If you can't solve this mess in five days, then — how will you take responsibility?"
Liang Feifan's thin lips were tightly pursed, and his steady breathing was sharp at this moment. He narrowed his eyes, and his calm voice hid an undercurrent of turbulence. "Fourth Uncle, how do you want me to take responsibility? Abdicate? "
"Since the leader is fine, we can't let so many people go without food, right?"
"In that case, Fourth Uncle, just wait and see!"
Liang Feifan's lips curved into an unfathomable arc. The next second, he strode out of the reception room, ignoring the few elders who were still whispering behind his back. He walked to the elevator with Guan Chao and asked, "What's the matter?"
Guan Chao took a deep breath and handed the phone to Liang Feifan. "… Mr. Liang, your driver called. He said that something happened and he's in the hospital now."
Bai Lu had just laid down carefully when there was a sudden knock on the door. Then, he heard a voice that he hadn't heard in a long time. "Bai Lu, is that you?"
It was Qin Ziwen.
Bai Lu was stunned for two seconds. He quickly responded, "… Ziwen?"
Qin Ziwen made sure that the person inside was really Bai Lu before she pushed the door open and entered. "Stupid woman, it really is you. I saw you in the corridor just now. What happened to you? Why are you in the hospital? "
She glanced around and saw the cast on Bai Lu's leg. Her eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Oh my god, what happened to your leg? I haven't seen you for a few days. How did you end up like this? … "
"I accidentally sprained it." Zijin didn't want to talk about her own problem, so she naturally changed the topic. "Why are you in the hospital?"
"My stomach isn't feeling too well, so I came to get some medicine. I just happened to see you."
As Qin Ziwen spoke, she looked around and happened to see Liang Feifan's driver rushing in. He had finished the hospitalization procedures and had come to inform Bai Lu.
"Madam, I've finished the procedures. I've also called Mr. Liang. He should be here soon." The driver nodded politely when he saw Qin Ziwen.
Bai Lu was a little embarrassed. The driver's natural greeting of "Madam" reached Qin Ziwen's ears. It was as if she had discovered a new world. She stared at Qin Ziwen in shock and curiosity.
Bai Lu blushed and asked the driver to leave first. Qin Ziwen immediately rushed up and grabbed her hand. "I've seen that person a few times before. He's Mr. Liang's driver, right? I used to see him drive Mr. Liang to work occasionally. "
Zijin nodded. "Yes."
"He just called you Madam?" Qin Ziwen narrowed her eyes and looked like she was about to interrogate her. "Huh? Bai Lu, are you hiding something important from me? "
Bai Lu stuttered and had to admit, "… Kind of. We're married."
"With … Mr. Liang?"
Although Qin Ziwen knew that she and Liang Feifan had always been in an ambiguous relationship, she didn't expect them to progress so quickly and get married. She was shocked. "Liang Feifan? You're married to Liang Feifan? F * ck! Why isn't there any news about it? Liang Jingxiao and Xiang Longjin's marriage caused a stir in the city. You and Mr. Liang should be even more famous! Are you guys in a secret marriage? "
Bai Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her words. "… Liang Jingxiao isn't married either. We're not in a secret marriage. It's just that it's a little sudden, so it's hard to explain." She avoided the topic and said lightly, "Anyway, don't be so surprised. It happened two days ago … Anyway, you're the first one among my friends to know."
"Pfft, Liang Feifan from City A, the young master of Family Liang. Who doesn't know him? No one knows that he's married. That doesn't make sense. " Qin Ziwen pouted disapprovingly. "Bai Lu, you silly girl. Don't be bewitched by beauty. You should fight for what's yours!"
"What nonsense are you thinking? He didn't wrong me. It's not what you think. Anyway, don't talk nonsense, especially in the company. You mustn't talk nonsense, okay? "
Qin Ziwen zipped her mouth and nodded with a smile. "Don't worry. I'm a fierce woman who keeps her mouth shut."
Bai Lu didn't want to continue on this topic. She changed the topic and asked, "Ziwen, what's going on in EC recently?"
"What's going on? Mr. Liang hasn't been to EC in a long time. I heard that he's been at the Liang Clan's headquarters recently. "
"What's going on in the Liang Clan?"
"I haven't heard anything about that." Qin Ziwen thought for a moment, then told Bai Lu all the news she had heard from the grapevine. "… I heard about this from others as well. It's said that all the projects between the Liang Group and the Ye Group have been suspended midway. This is a disaster for the Liang Group. If it's not handled properly, the Liang Group might even face bankruptcy. That's why Chairman Liang has been coming to the Liang Group all this time because he couldn't take the shock and was hospitalized."
Bai Lu's expression changed. Qin Ziwen realized that she had said too much. She hurriedly said, "Look at my crow's beak. I'm just spouting nonsense. Those are just rumors. Don't take them seriously …"
Bai Lu laughed weakly. She was a little absent-minded and didn't say anything else.
Qin Ziwen was thinking about how to break this awkward topic when there was a sudden bang at the door. The door was pushed open from the outside, and there was the sound of hurried footsteps. The two of them looked up and saw Liang Feifan in a hurry.
Qin Ziwen had also worked in EC for a long time. Although she didn't know Liang Feifan well, in the eyes of all the female employees in the company, this high and mighty CEO was simply a god-like existence —
He was high and mighty. Not only in EC, but also in the Liang Clan, he was a fine man in the eyes of all the women in A City.
This kind of man was serious and calm. No matter where he went, he had the aura of a king.
But now he was actually … panicking. From the moment he entered the ward, his eyes were fixed on Bai Lu, who was lying on the bed. Qin Ziwen felt that she should be happy for her good friend because she was indeed like what she said. She didn't suffer any grievances.
She didn't want to be a third wheel. Qin Ziwen waved at Bai Lu secretly and left the ward quietly.
…
"What's going on?" Liang Feifan frowned. His face was full of displeasure. "How did you end up in the hospital?"
