"I just have a slight cold. I'm sorry, but it's still troublesome. Professor came here specially." Song Zhiyuan was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Although Shi Yan and she were considered to be of the same age, they were teachers after all, which made her always feel embarrassed about being caught pretending to be sick.

Seeing that her complexion was not bad, Shi Yan slightly raised his lips and said, "I know you are not sick."

Song Zhiyuan, "..."

She laughed dryly and said, "I overslept this morning, so I thought I might as well take a day off."

"Ever cried?" Shi Yan looked at her slightly swollen eyes and took out the ice pack from the paper bag he brought.

Looking at the ice pack, Song Zhiyuan fell into deep thought.

Is he capable of calculating things, or is he installing surveillance cameras in her house?

Seeing that she was motionless, Shi Yan chuckled and explained, "We stimulated him so much the day before yesterday. I guessed that he would come to you."

Indeed, he is best at understanding people's psychology.

It's just that Song Zhiyuan didn't like the feeling of being seen through, and he felt inexplicably unhappy.

Afraid that she might misunderstand, Shi Yan explained, "After all, it was me who used you as a shield. If this causes any chain reaction, I will definitely be responsible."

He acted too calmly, which made Song Zhiyuan feel that what he just thought was to judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Taking the ice pack, wrapping it in a towel and applying it around the eyes, Song Zhiyuan whispered, "Thank you, Professor Shi."

"Don't talk like a professor, just call me Shi Yan." Shi Yan chuckled and said helplessly, "I'm not much older than you."

Called like this, he felt like he was an uncle in his forties or fifties.

Song Zhiyuan smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Shi Yan originally planned to comfort her, but seeing that her mood was relatively stable, he didn't say anything.

Thinking of the rumors in the college, he felt a little sorry, "Those gossips are all spread by students out of boredom. I will come forward to explain in class this Wednesday."

"Shi Yan, are you anxious to find a partner?" Song Zhiyuan asked suddenly.

Shi Yan paused and suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, my father and grandma were anxious, so they asked Miss Song for help at the dance that day."

"It just so happens that I'm not in a hurry." Song Zhiyuan thought for a while and said frankly, "If those rumors won't affect you, then I won't clarify them yet."

Thinking that her eyes were still swollen, Shi Yan understood something and nodded in agreement.

Before he left, he reminded, "If someone from outside the academy finds you recently, please ignore it."

"Okay." Thinking that she might be his suitor, Song Zhiyuan agreed without hesitation.

But she also has a request.

If Zhou Qichuan's people find him, she hopes Shi Yan can admit that they are dating.

Hearing this, Shi Yan's eyebrows slightly curved, "Deal."

…

Xunke President's Office.

Zhuo Mu brought coffee and said by the way, "Boss, I heard that Mr. Zhou will hold a board meeting in the afternoon."

"Huh?" Zhou Qichuan looked up, his eyes filled with coldness.

He didn't want to hear a word of news about the Zhou family.

Zhuo Mu felt anxious and hurriedly said, "Director Zhou should be pushing President Zhou to take over and become the new chairman."

Although Zhou Jingyu was famously useless, everyone in Jinning could see Zhou Jiangyuan's preference for him.

Although he has been in the hospital these past few months, he has not been idle and has been helping pave the way for his beloved son.

Thinking of what Zhou Jiangyuan had done before, Zhou Qichuan curled his lips without warmth, "When the board of directors is over, send the real cause of Sun Biqiao's death to Zhou Jingyu."

When Zhuo Mu turned around, he added coldly, "Remember, it's all the details."

He wanted to see if Zhou Jingyu would forgive this good father who had held him in the palm of his hand since childhood.

"Knock-knock-" A sudden knock on the door brought Zhou Qichuan back to his thoughts.

He composed himself and said, "Come in."

It's He Xue.

She came to Zhou's after graduation, and just after her internship period, she was arranged by Zhou Qichuan to be his secretary.

Although she is a clerical secretary, she also serves as a life secretary.

"Mr. Zhou, Miss Zhou called me this morning and said that Mrs. Zhou's condition is not very good." When Zhou Zhiqing was mentioned, He Xue was a little embarrassed.

Although she arrived relatively late, she also heard his brother and Zhuo Mu explain the taboos of working next to Zhou Qichuan.

Except for the one in London, it is best not to mention a word about the Zhou family unless necessary.

If Zhou Zhiqing hadn't been calling and even threatening to come to Xunke to cause trouble, she actually didn't want to disturb Zhou Qichuan.

Zhou Qichuan nodded, "I understand."

Seeing that he didn't express his position, He Xue hesitated for a moment and said bravely, "Mr. Zhou, Miss Zhou hopes that you can take time to go to the hospital today. It only takes a few minutes."

Hearing this, Zhou Qichuan lightly raised his eyes and looked at He Xue, whose face was full of embarrassment, "Did she threaten you?"

He Xue nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook her head.

"If she had the guts, she wouldn't just talk empty words." Zhou Qichuan knew his sister very well.

In the past few months, she has harassed almost everyone in the secretarial office.

Seeing that He Xue seemed to understand, Zhou Qichuan picked up the phone and called He Wu, "Give Zhou Zhiqing a beating. If she gets restless again, let her get out of Jinning."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at He Xue, who was standing motionless, and frowned slightly, "Is there anything else?"

He Xue shook her head quickly, turned around and ran away.

…

At two o'clock in the afternoon, under the witness of Zhou's few remaining directors, Zhou Jingyu was successfully elected as Zhou's new director.

He was in a good mood, and for the first time, he asked Chun Manyuan to send a table of food to the hospital, and planned to have a drink with Zhou Jiangyuan.

By the way, coax him to transfer the remaining 10% of his shares to him.

This is the trump card left by the old fox.

Although the Zhou family is not as good as before, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If some of the shares are sold and realized, the Zhou family's situation may get better.

Zhou Jingyu is used to enjoying things. He has reduced his consumption in the past few months, and others are going crazy.

"Ding dong!" He was just thinking about calling the two girls to celebrate in the evening when his cell phone buzzed.

Seeing the three words "Sun Biqiao" written in the title of the email, Zhou Jingyu's smile instantly disappeared and he quickly clicked on the screen to open the email.

When those unsightly photos appeared in front of his eyes, he was stunned on the spot.

"No, this is impossible!" Zhou Jingyu's eyes were splitting as he looked at the photos that were taken clearly and without any trace of PS.

When he saw the words above, he felt a loud "bang" in his ears, which was so loud that he couldn't react at all.

He didn't know how he drove to the hospital.

All I know is that when he kicked the door open, Zhou Jiangyuan happened to be sitting on a chair, being supported by a nurse.

In front of him were the meals sent by Chun Man Yuan.

Seeing him, Zhou Jiangyuan raised a smile with great effort. Before he could speak, Zhou Jingyu stepped forward and kicked over the table full of food.
