"I heard that Chang He has been having a hard time recently because of his bad relationship with the Qi family. His former business partners no longer work with Chang He. Chang He has lost a lot of money."
Huang Pinggui and Wang Lixia had made a mess of the scene. Wang Lixia ran over and grabbed Chang Jingqiu's shoulder, shaking her and crying.
Chang Jingqiu had also gone crazy. She couldn't care less about acting. Her hair had been shaken by Wang Lixia. She screamed, "Let go of me, you lunatic! I don't want to acknowledge you. Why should I acknowledge you? Let go of me! "
Chang Zhixing's face was red. He shouted, "Is there no one else in the dynasty? Let these shady people come and cause trouble! Is there anyone who can do something about it? "
"Yo, why is it so noisy? What's going on?" A typical voice of someone watching the commotion rang out, and it was quite loud.
At this time, the Chang family had no time to find out who said it. However, they heard someone call out, "Old Master Ruan."
"Eh? Little Liu! "Old Master Ruan seemed to be pleasantly surprised.
Those who recognized this "Xiao Liu" felt their faces twitch. Only Old Master Ruan dared to call him Xiao Liu.
"What are you doing here?" Another old man squeezed through the crowd and blew at his beard, vividly demonstrating the phrase "blowing one's beard and glaring".
"Why are you here too?" Old Master Ruan almost jumped.
"I came to eat with Xiao Liu!" Old Master Xiao rolled his eyes at him, then looked at the lively Chang family. "Hey, isn't this your in-law's family?"
"What in-law? We don't recognize them. They're celebrating Youxuan's birthday upstairs." Old Master Ruan curled his lips. The conversation between the two was clearly heard by the people around them.
Someone recognized Old Man Xiao and reminded the person next to him. Just like that, the message was passed down one by one. Chang Zhixing also heard it, and his expression suddenly changed.
Even Old Mistress Chang hadn't expected Old Master Ruan to know so many important people. Chang Zhiyuan was right.
"Everyone, please be the judge! Sob sob sob sob sob! "Wang Lixia grabbed Old Mistress Chang. "We are so pitiful!"
Old Madam Chang's face turned from red to white. She pointed a trembling finger at Wang Lixia. Suddenly, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Mom!" Chang Zhixing caught Old Lady Chang and quickly ran out with her in his arms to send her to the hospital.
Old Master Ruan clicked his tongue. "How noisy. Let's go back and celebrate Youxuan's birthday."
With that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Old Man Xiao thought that since Old Ruan was here, Old Qi must be here too. He immediately followed, "I'll go too. Xiao Liu, go and prepare a chess set."
"What are you doing here? My family didn't invite you," Old Master Ruan said in disdain.
"How can you chase a guest out like this?" Old Man Xiao did not get angry. On the contrary, he became more and more persistent in his pursuit. Everyone had a feeling that Old Man Xiao was running away with his buttocks at this moment. The scene was particularly refreshing.
"It's not a big deal to attend, but it's Youxuan's birthday. You'd be too embarrassed to come empty-handed, right?" Old Master Ruan stopped and waited for Old Master Xiao.
Old Man Xiao curled his lips. "You're such a profiteer. Come on, do I look like that kind of stingy person? "
"I don't think you've brought any gifts." Old Master Ruan directly took out a red envelope from his pocket. "This is for you. Make it bigger. Our Youxuan is the most honest child. If you give him cash, he'll be very happy."
Old Master Xiao was stunned. He took the red envelope while swearing, "Do you have more red envelopes?"
"Oh, you want to give me two? So sincere? How embarrassing! "Old Master Ruan smiled with his eyes squinted. He thought of how happy Youxuan would be if he knew!
He was the one who brought this rich man over!
"What are you thinking!" Old Master Xiao gritted his teeth. He thought that this old man did not have any integrity as a scientist. "Don't I have to prepare one for Xiao Liu? He'd be too embarrassed to come empty-handed. Don't you think so, Xiao Liu? "
When Old Man Xiao said this, he happened to see that "Xiao Liu", who was actually a person of high status and power, walking over. Behind him was a waiter from the Dynasty, who was carrying a chessboard with two boxes of chess pieces on it.
Xiaoliu chuckled and took the red envelope from Old Master Ruan with a smile on his face.
…
The little guys did not know about what happened to the Chang family. The party ended perfectly.
Qi Chenglin received a call from Jiang Yuan and learned that Old Madam Chang had been sent to Chutian Hospital. Although she had woken up, it was said that she had suffered a great shock and her body was not very good. She needed to rest quietly. She must not be stimulated again, otherwise her body would not be well.
"Then let's stimulate her again." Qi Chenglin said and hung up the phone. His fingers tapped on the table a few times and made another call. "Wenren …"
…
Old Madam Chang was resting in the VIP ward of Chutian Hospital. This time, she had suffered a shock. She was so angry that her spirit suddenly became dispirited.
When people were old, they could not be stimulated. Even if they were sick, their vitality would be damaged. Their health would immediately decline, and it would be difficult to recover. In the future, their health would decline in days and they would age at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Now, Old Madam Chang was lying on the hospital bed. The head of the bed was raised, making her look like she was sitting. In front of her was a small bed table with a bowl of bird's nest on it. Recently, Old Madam Chang had been nourishing herself with ginseng and bird's nest every day, but she still looked weak. Her face was pale, and her lips were pale. Even her eye sockets were sunken, making the wrinkles on her face seem even deeper.
"Hey, Old Madam, why are you nourishing yourself every day? Haven't you recovered yet?" As the voice came, a person came in like a gust of wind and sat on the chair beside Old Madam Chang's bed.
Old Madam Chang's expression was very bad. The person in front of her was Mrs. Wu, who she met at the hospital's outpatient clinic last time.
Previously, her grandson was hospitalized with acute appendicitis. Not long after he was discharged, her second daughter-in-law came in to give birth. Now, she was in the confinement center behind. This Mrs. Wu actually did not find it troublesome. She went to see her daughter-in-law every day and came to annoy her.
Didn't she say a few words about this Mrs. Wu before? This Mrs. Wu came to talk to her every day about what was going on outside.
"Auntie Wu." Chang Jingqiu forced a smile.
Chang Jingqiu also came to accompany Old Madam Chang every day. The Chang family's reputation was completely ruined previously, and the company's situation was even worse. Chang Zhixing worked overtime at the company every day, sighing in frustration.
Chang Jingqiu, on the other hand, could not stand the strange looks from the people at the company and decided to hide for a few days.
"Hey, Jingqiu is here every day!" Mrs. Wu said with a smile. Suddenly thinking of something, she covered her mouth and laughed. "That's true. It's not convenient to go out now. Old Madam, it's good that you have been resting here without anyone disturbing you. You don't know, but the outside world is saying that the Chang family is not presentable. They say that the Chang family can't tell right from wrong, and they say that you … "
Mrs. Wu pursed her lips and pretended to be troubled. "They say that you are vicious, that you would even frame your own granddaughter. Now the outside world is spreading like wildfire. They say that you, your youngest daughter-in-law, and Chang Jingqiu, an outsider, forced your eldest son to resign from Chang He. Then, you went around slandering Ruan Danchen, saying that she was the bane of her family, and even wanted to cause her to get a divorce. "
Mrs. Wu clicked her tongue and shook her head. "Is this true? What the outside world is saying is very convincing, and there is evidence to back it up! Tsk tsk, if it's true, then you must have some extraordinary ideas to do something like that. I wonder if your son has come back to tell you about it? Because of these things, the circle is no longer interacting with the Chang family. Instead, they are treating Mr. Chang Zhiyuan as the head of the Chang family and are contacting him directly. "
Old Madam Chang pursed her lips angrily. Mrs. Wu acted as if she could not see it and continued to say, "I heard that Chang Jingqiu has also offended the Shen family. What happened?"
Mrs. Wu looked at Chang Jingqiu curiously. Chang Jingqiu's gaze flickered, and Mrs. Wu said, "I heard that Chang He is in trouble now, and the Shen family is trying to help him."
"Enough!" Old Madam Chang slammed her half-drunk swallow's nest on the table. "You are not welcome here."
"Hey, why are you angry?" Mrs. Wu stood up. "Old Madam, don't try to be as unreasonable as you were in the past. No one will fall for it. Do you still think that you are the old madam of the Chang family? The outside world doesn't recognize the Chang family anymore. "
Mrs. Wu covered her mouth and chuckled. "You don't know, do you? In the eyes of others, your family is the poor branch of the Chang family. If you want to talk about wealth, you still have to rely on your eldest son."
"Get lost!" Old Madam Chang yelled.
Mrs. Wu was not angry at all, and left with a smile.
At the door, she bumped into Chang Zhixing and Liu Xiangwen. Chang Zhixing must have heard Old Madam Chang's scolding from the corridor, and his expression was not good.
Mrs. Wu said goodbye to them nonchalantly and left.
She hummed a little tune as she walked to the confinement center. At the same time, she dialed a number. "Mrs. Qi, it's me, Xiao Wu."
"…"
"Don't worry, I will report to the old madam every day. Do you want to rest in peace? Haha. "
"Sorry to trouble you these days. Let's play cards together another day." Guan Liya held her phone in one hand and a piece of watermelon in the other.
"Ah, it's no trouble. I have nothing to do anyway. It's nothing," Mrs. Wu said with a smile. "Then it's settled. Let's play cards together another day."
…
Chang Zhixing frowned and sat opposite Old Madam Chang. Old Madam Chang was so angry with Mrs. Wu that she was coughing hard. Her pale face became a little ruddy, but it was obviously not healthy.
Liu Xiangwen and Chang Jingqiu were next to her. One smoothed her back, and the other fed her water.
After a long while, Old Madam Chang finally calmed down. Seeing Chang Zhixing's hesitant look, her expression softened, and her eyes were filled with love. "Are you tired because of a lot of things in the company recently?"
"Mom, I think … we … should beg Big Brother to come back." Chang Zhixing clenched his fists and loosened them. He was quite unwilling, but more than that, he felt powerless. His expression also became dejected.
"What's wrong? Zhixing, I believe in you. Although the company is in trouble now, I believe in your ability. You … "
"It's not like that." Chang Zhixing interrupted Old Madam Chang. He glanced at her, then covered his eyes and sighed. "Recently, a batch of solid wood furniture in the company has been deducted, saying that it is not up to standard. But that batch of goods was delivered in a hurry. If it can't be delivered on time, it will be a breach of contract. That batch of orders is especially big. Just to rush that batch of goods, the company has invested a lot of money, and we can't afford to lose it. We really need the remaining money from that batch of goods to solve the current predicament. But now we can't collect the remaining money, and the goods can't be delivered on time. Even the previous money has to be returned, and we have to pay compensation according to the contract. The company can't afford these losses. "
"And to be honest, the quality of this batch of goods is the same as the previous ones. There are so many goods, and they are all random checks. Not every one of them is particularly up to standard, so it usually passes. It's not just our company. It's the same for other companies. No matter what product it is, otherwise, there won't always be users who complain that a certain product has quality problems. Fortunately, our products are not electronic products. Even if it's a little off from the standard, the impact won't be too big. As long as it's not obviously shoddy, and even the materials are different, there won't be a problem. " In fact, if they really went against their conscience to secretly change the materials and disguise it on the surface so that people can't see through it, it's not like they haven't done it before.
"But this time, I don't know what happened. The inspection is so strict, and they won't let us go no matter what. We've used all the methods that can be used, and the higher-ups suddenly become impartial, "Chang Zhixing said.
"Is it the Qi family's doing?" Old Mrs. Chang's heart was in her throat, and she felt particularly bad.
Chang Zhixing glanced at Old Mrs. Chang and felt that it was not easy for the old lady to be smart.
"I've asked around. Do you remember Mr. Liu, who was with Old Mr. Xiao when you met him in Dynasty? He just mentioned it briefly. " Chang Zhixing picked up an apple and peeled it for Old Mrs. Chang. "Old Mr. Xiao is good friends with Ruan Danchen's grandfather, Old Master Ruan."
Old Master Ruan and Old Master Xiao had a good relationship. Chang Zhiyuan had already reminded them, but none of them took it seriously.
Now that they thought about it, they felt that it had something to do with Old Master Ruan.
"He … he … he's not filial!" Old Mrs. Chang was so angry that she clutched her chest. Ever since she fainted from anger, she couldn't take it anymore. Whenever she was angry, her chest would hurt. "He just watched as outsiders humiliated Chang He, and he didn't care!"
"Mom, I think Big Brother probably knew this day would come. Before he left that day, didn't he say that if anything happened in the future, don't look for him? He didn't even care. I think he was waiting for this moment, "Liu Xiangwen said as she supported Old Mrs. Chang.
Chang Zhixing laughed angrily. The company was already in such a state, but Liu Xiangwen still wanted to complain. "Shut up! If you don't let Big Brother come back, will you be happy when the company is ruined in the end? "
"That's not what I meant! I just said that he went too far. He said it nicely, saying that he wouldn't do anything to the company, but in the end, he framed us not long after he left, "Liu Xiangwen said with tears in her eyes.
"Enough! This matter is Old Master Ruan taking revenge for Ruan Danchen. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Big Brother, "Chang Zhixing said.
Liu Xiangwen laughed coldly in her heart. Even at this point, Chang Zhixing still couldn't help but smear Chang Zhiyuan's name.
"Mom, if we didn't call Big Brother back, and he really had to pay the penalty for breaching the contract, the company wouldn't really collapse, but we would lose half of it," Chang Zhixing said honestly.
Old Mrs. Chang was really shocked. With Chang He's foundation, losing half of it was a huge loss.
This was also Chang Zhixing's problem. Previously, the outside world had canceled all their collaborations, causing Chang He's performance to drop by 40%. Chang Zhixing's face was really not looking good.
There were already many voices in the company that felt that Chang Zhiyuan shouldn't have resigned. He was too far behind Chang Zhiyuan.
Chang Zhixing was also under a lot of pressure at that time, so when he suddenly received this order, he didn't think too much and grabbed it tightly. Who knew that the result would be like this?
"You … How could you be so careless?" Old Mrs. Chang clutched her chest, feeling a little breathless.
"The few of you seem to be chatting happily," a low voice with a hint of mockery came from the door.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Qi Chenglin, dressed in a suit, standing straight at the door. His height seemed to reach the top of the door frame. He looked so thin and tall, but it seemed like he was blocking the door frame tightly.
His presence was too strong!
Qi Chenglin's face was full of mockery. His lips didn't even curl up, but it felt like he was gloating.
"What are you doing here?" Old Mrs. Chang said impolitely.
Qi Chenglin didn't say anything. He directly moved to the side and saw a person rush in.
Chang Jingqiu looked at the person rushing in in panic. Her face was pale, and she subconsciously shook the wheels of her wheelchair to move backwards.
The person who rushed in like a madman was actually Liu Ronghua!
Liu Ronghua was completely different from before. The original Liu Ronghua was delicate and looked 10 years younger than her actual age. Her skin was smooth and white, and her aura was just like her name, graceful and luxurious. That delicate appearance made it seem like she couldn't lift her hands or shoulders.
But now, she was wearing a coarse flowery dress. Her long hair was messily tied behind her head, no longer soft. Her black hair was like hay, mixed with strands of white hair, which was unusually distinct. Her originally white and tender skin was now dry and sallow. It was obvious that her skin was exposed to the sun for a long period of time without any protection. It was as though it had seeped into the bottom of her body without any protection. It was as though there was a dirty black that couldn't be washed clean.
Without exquisite makeup, there was no adornment on her face. Liu Ronghua's eyebrows were so faint that they seemed to be gone. The wrinkles at the corner of her eyes were deep and long, and her lips were chapped with a few cuts.
Her nails, which were always painted with nail polish, were also cut short. Without taking care of them, the color was a little dark. Her wrists and hands that were exposed were especially black.
At a glance, she looked like a village woman living in a remote mountainous area.
"Chang Jingqiu, I'm going to kill you!" Liu Ronghua went up and grabbed Chang Jingqiu's hair, pulling her out of the wheelchair. Even the wheelchair fell to the ground.
She was originally so delicate that she couldn't even open a bottle cap. But now, she was terrifyingly strong.
Liu Ronghua wished for nothing more than for Chang Jingqiu to die. That day when she was sold to that mountain, she saw that strange mother and son when she woke up.
That old woman looked especially shrewish. She told her that she was sold there and that she had to stay there obediently. Otherwise, she would not be courteous to her.
Of course, she refused and went crazy for a while. The mother and son just looked at her coldly. The old woman told her to scream as much as she wanted, since no one would care. She sat cross-legged on the wooden chair and sneered fiercely.
However, Liu Ronghua didn't eat or drink anything along the way. She didn't last long before she fainted.
When she woke up, she had no strength at all. They didn't give her anything to eat, afraid that she would run away.
It was only during the day that the mother and son went to work in the fields. She wanted to escape when there was no one at home. But not long after she left, she bumped into the villagers.
Those women recognized her and pointed at her. "Isn't that the wife that the kidnapper king bought? Where are you going? "
