At this time, Xiao Yihe walked to the desk and dialed Gu Qiyang's number. After a while, Gu Qiyang walked in.
"Mr. Xiao, what's the matter?"
"You pack up, go to Penang, and check the documents."
With that said, Xiao Yihe handed the document in his hand to Gu Qiyang. He was worried about leaving this matter to others.
Gu Qiyang took it, only read the first two pages, and then looked up at Huo Lan.
"You don't need to look at her. Whatever you find is what you find. Just report it truthfully. Also, by the way, you can find out the reasons for Tucson Property's bankruptcy that year. I want to know when Tucson Property started to run into operating difficulties."
Intuition tells Xiao Yihe that the bankruptcy of Tucson Properties was not as simple as Huo Lan said. Since Huo Lan said that Tucson Properties was founded by his father, then such a small decoration company can become one of the top five real estate companies in Penang.
The company will never make such low-level mistakes in management unless there are other reasons.
Gu Qiyang listened, nodded, and then left the office.
The office suddenly became quiet. Seeing Huo Lan sitting there silently, Xiao Yihe couldn't help feeling a little panicked. He held Huo Lan's hand and asked worriedly.
"What, you have nothing to say to me? Didn't you say that this matter will not affect our relationship?"
"No, Yihe, you just asked Gu Qiyang to investigate the reasons for Tucson's bankruptcy. Do you have any suspicions?"
Huo Lan looked up at Xiao Yihe. She admitted that she could not treat Xiao Yihe as calmly as before, but on the surface, she still acted very calmly.
Xiao Yihe knew that Huo Lan had a thorn in his heart. He couldn't blame Huo Lan. No one would be able to face such a thing calmly, but Huo Lan's current performance was much calmer than many people.
Xiao Yihe held Huo Lan gently in his arms, played with her slender fingers with one hand, and then spoke slowly.
"I can't imagine that a person who developed a small workshop into one of the leading local companies would not know that the capital chain of a real estate company is particularly important. Even those listed companies would not dare to win such a big deal at once.
There are many places. Once there is a problem with funds, these places will become a hot potato."
Huo Lan thought for a moment, but she also understood back then that these lands were indeed taken under the instruction of her father, and there were no problems in the process.
"Maybe my father wanted to prove himself too much. If there were no problems with the company at that time, my father would have planned to list the company."
After hearing this, Xiao Yihe patted Huo Lan's hand and said.
"Maybe, but Gu Qiyang has gone to Penang anyway, so why not let him check and find out more."
At this time, Huo Lan suddenly sat up from Xiao Yihe's arms, smiled bitterly, and said.
"Actually, when my father's accident first happened, I foolishly swore that I would take my father's company back and rebrand it as Tucson Real Estate in the future. However, after I entered the workplace, I did something to the current Wanhui Real Estate.
Only then did I realize how naive I was at the time."
"Wanhui Real Estate?"
Xiao Yihe had some impressions of this name. It is now considered one of the top three real estate companies in the Northeast. It is said that it has started to develop business in the south this year.
"Well, after Tucson Real Estate went bankrupt, it was acquired by Wanhui Real Estate. When Tucson Real Estate was not in trouble, Wanhui Real Estate couldn't compete with Tucson Real Estate. Things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that the younger brother would annex the big brother in the end.
"
Thinking of those things in the past, Huo Lan still felt sad. The business empire built by her father had vanished into nothing in one day, and her father also died with the collapse of the empire.
Hearing this, Xiao Yihe frowned slightly, thoughtfully, but Huo Lan was still thinking about his father and didn't notice anything strange about Xiao Yihe.
"Okay, let's not mention this anymore. You are pregnant now, so don't worry about it. Leave all these things to me, okay?"
Huo Lan took a deep breath and snuggled into Xiao Yihe's arms again, but she was still extremely uneasy inside.
"Yihe, if this is true, what should I do? If I were to be with you carelessly, wouldn't it be too unfilial?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yihe sighed softly, touched Huo Lan's head gently and said.
"Who just said this is legitimate business competition? No one else is to blame."
"I know, but my father also died because of the company crisis. I..."
Later, Huo Lan didn't know what to say. She felt very unfilial. Deep down in her heart, she couldn't resent the man beside her.
Intellectually speaking, this is a normal competition between the two companies. Even if she really needs to be blamed, Xiao Yihe was studying abroad like her at the time, and these decisions did not come from his mouth.
Seeing Huo Lan's troubled expression at the end, Xiao Yihe hugged Huo Lan tighter, and he spoke softly in her ear.
"Leave it all to me, okay? If it is really because of the failure of this bidding case that Tucson is in dire straits, I will give you an explanation and I will personally apologize to your mother."
"No, don't tell my mother about this yet, Yihe. My mother finally got over the pain. I don't want her to think of those sad things again."
Huo Lan said nervously that she didn't want to remind her mother of those unpleasant things. It took her mother almost two years to get over the grief of losing her husband. She couldn't see her mother relapsing because of the old things.
.
"Okay, I won't tell you. Let's not think about it now, okay? We'll wait until Gu Qiyang comes back from Penang. Promise me to take good care of our baby."
Looking at Xiao Yihe's worried yet sincere eyes, Huo Lan nodded.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yihe was not in the mood to work. In addition, Huo Lan was agitated in the morning and had abdominal pain for a while during lunch, so he simply made an appointment with the doctor for another comprehensive examination in the afternoon.
"Dr. Shen, how is my wife? She said she had a little pain in her stomach at noon. Is there something wrong with the fetus?"
After the inspection, Xiao Yihe asked nervous questions, making Huo Lan look embarrassed.
"Husband, I'm fine."
"Then why do you have a sudden stomachache? Let's listen to the doctor and see if we need to keep the fetus in the hospital."
"Mr. Xiao, please calm down. Mrs. Xiao is indeed fine and the fetus is also healthy."
Doctor Shen finally spoke, but Xiao Yihe was still worried.
"Then why does she suddenly have a stomachache?"
"Actually, it's not a stomachache. It's because Mrs. Xiao was overly nervous and happened to experience fetal movement again, so she mistook the bloated abdomen for lower abdominal pain."
When Dr. Shen said this, Huo Lan on the side felt that she should find a crack in the ground and crawl in. She had obviously given birth to a child before, and the fetal movements were so frequent during this period. Why did she suddenly have such thoughts?
.
When Xiao Yihe heard Doctor Shen's explanation, he couldn't laugh or cry. He looked helplessly at Huo Lan, who had already fled out the door.
"As long as it's okay, thank you Dr. Shen. My wife is probably too nervous about this child and made you laugh, so we'll leave first."
After saying that, Xiao Yihe also left the office. When he walked out, he saw Huo Lan facing the wall with a big belly, raising his feet and kicking the corner of the wall. He looked like a child who had made a mistake and was thinking against the wall. After that, Xiao Yihe walked over, took Huo Lan's hand directly, and said.
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with being pregnant for three years. Wife, I have to take good care of you during this period. What if one day you can't even find your own home?"
Xiao Yihe's eyes were full of doting. In his eyes, Huo Lan was just a delicate little girl, very cute. She was a completely different person from the calm and wise professional elite in normal times.
"You are laughing at me. You don't know who got me pregnant. Do you think I want this? Huh!"
With that said, Huo Lan angrily threw away Xiao Yihe's hand. Just as he was about to move forward, he was pulled into Xiao Yihe's arms again.
"Why are you still angry? Just kidding, my wife is the smartest."
"Huh, let's go. I'll pick up Xiaogua on the way soon."
"Okay, what does my wife say? By the way, I'm going to my parents' place for dinner tonight."
