The dark night hides people's dark desires, which makes people unable to let go.
Ling Yan hadn't seen Gu Xichen for many days since the last time they said goodbye. She didn't even know what he was doing or where he was. Her thoughts continued to pile up, and as soon as night fell, she missed him even more.
Haitang has now completely become her assistant, taking care of the daily life of her, her three children and her second elder.
The two elders of the Gu family were going to be discharged from the hospital today. After receiving the call, Ling Yan decided to go to the hospital with Haitang to pick them up.
The second elder's hair was turning gray again and he was in low spirits. Ling Yan looked at it and felt really uncomfortable.
She didn't know if the two elders knew that Gu Xichen was still alive. She looked at Haitang, who spread her hands because she didn't know either.
In fact, the reason why the two elders recovered so quickly is of course because they got the definite news that their grandson is still alive. However, they need to cooperate in acting. In addition, they are old and their various body functions have declined, so they are living in the hospital.
Here, the credibility is increased.
"Grandma, sit in the wheelchair and I'll push you down." Ling Yan whispered.
The old lady nodded and sat in the wheelchair. Ling Yan pushed her out of the ward. Haitang followed beside her. In the ward on the other side, Gu Tiancheng's family of three were following the old man out.
Seeing Gu Tiancheng and Gu Jie, the two brothers and sisters, Ling Yan's eyes burst out with fire.
Of course, when Gu Jie saw Ling Yan, his eyes were full of unwillingness, and he even felt hatred because of love.
His body has not recovered yet, and he has seen many famous doctors, but they are all at a loss, saying that he may be like this for the rest of his life. However, his sperm is still fine after testing, and he will still be able to have offspring in the future.
When Gu Jie heard the news, he was in a state of collapse and lost weight.
When Gu Tiancheng heard that his son couldn't even become a man, he was naturally filled with resentment.
However, he wanted to take revenge on Ling Yan and was afraid of the pressure from Mu Xiuhan, so he could only endure his anger.
Of course, this matter is not impossible. Just because he can't do it himself doesn't mean that he can't spend money to find others. In short, Ling Yan has to pay the price for his son's pain.
As soon as Haitang saw Gu Min, her nerves became tense. This woman was the most terrifying person. At this moment, her eyes were staring like knives. Haitang glanced at Ling Yan worriedly. It seemed that Gu Jie was now
Everyone in the Gu family must be very angry because he has become a soft-footed shrimp.
The two elders got into the car, and Gu Tiancheng even prepared a table full of good wine and food to welcome the second elder when he was discharged from the hospital.
"I feel very shocked about uncle, aunt, and Xi Chen, but it has been almost two months, and I'm afraid there is little hope. Of course, the people I sent are still salvaging at sea. Once the news spreads,
I will inform you two as soon as possible and ask for your condolences." Gu Tiancheng said with a sad face while holding the wine glass.
The old man threw the cup in his hand and said angrily: "My condolences? Are you saying that Xi Chen is really dead?"
Gu Tiancheng was startled. The respect he had pretended before could no longer be pretended now.
"Uncle, I know it's hard for you to accept this fact, but it is what it is. He will never come back. Please stop being stubborn and let me officially take over the company." Gu Tiancheng is currently only the acting president.
, has not yet received unanimous approval from the board of directors, and without the words of the old man, he will never be able to become a regular member. Even if he negotiates with the major directors at the latest, only half of them are willing to be loyal to him, and the other half are still there.
Looking forward to Gu Xichen's return.
"Humph." The old man looked at him with a disappointed look on his face: "Gu Tiancheng, tell me, what happened to Xi Chen, did you find someone to do it?"
Gu Tiancheng's face froze for a moment, and he immediately retorted: "Uncle, how can you think of me like this? Am I that kind of person? I have always been a filial junior in front of you?"
"If something happens to Xi Chen, you will benefit the most, and you will be the most suspected." The old lady was also extremely annoyed.
The juniors sitting in another seat also clenched their chopsticks when they saw the strong smell of gunpowder here.
"Uncle, if you think so, then I have nothing to say, but I have to admit that after Xi Chen died, the people most capable of saving the company are me and my children. They are capable and qualified...
"
"No, you are not qualified." The old man looked at him coldly, and then he pointed at Ling Yan: "Xiaoyan is Xi Chen's wife. If something happens to him, Xiaoyan is the most qualified person to replace him. I now declare
, Xiaoyan is the CEO of Gu Group, you, the agent, can step down."
"What?" Everyone present was shocked, including Ling Yan. She never dared to imagine that one day, she would sit in Gu Xichen's position and take over the power of the company for him. However, she didn't know anything.
I only studied with Gu Xichen in the company for a few months and learned a little bit about it.
"Grandpa, I..." Ling Yan desperately wanted to say something, afraid of taking on such a heavy responsibility.
But the old man waved his hand towards her, signaling her not to speak yet.
Ling Yan had no choice but to sit back down. At this moment, the two people opposite her were looking at her like knives, as if as soon as she agreed to take over, they would rush over and kill her.
Ling Yan raised her head and faced the fierce eyes of Gu Min and Gu Jie. Suddenly, she seemed not so scared anymore. Yes, if she didn't stand up, the company would eventually fall into the hands of their family. If
Gu Xichen's matter has not been settled yet, and their family has formed a climate in the company. It will be very difficult to get the power back. No matter how difficult it is, she will have to shoulder it.
"Uncle, are you kidding?" Gu Tiancheng's old-fashioned eyes glared at Ling Yan: "You let a rookie with no ability and no vision take over my current position? Are you going to push the company to the next level?
A deeper abyss?"
"Yes, Ling Yan has no experience, and maybe she is also scared, but as long as I, an old man, help her behind the scenes, I believe she will get up and manage the company very well." The old man's tone was very serious.
I am determined and do not doubt Ling Yan's ability at all.
Haitang listened beside her, feeling very relieved.
That is, even if Miss Ling doesn't understand anything, so what, with the support of the old man behind her and the help of the boss in the dark, she will definitely be able to manage the company well.
"I don't agree. I absolutely disagree with this matter." Gu Tiancheng suddenly became anxious and angry. He directly threw the cup in his hand on the floor: "Half of the company is my hard work, and I work hard.
I have paid more than thirty years for the company.
Years ago, I stuck to my position and never had any intention of rebelliousness. Now, Gu Xichen has ascended to heaven in a short life. Even if it is my turn, it is my turn to make the decision. But you want me to give up my position to this outsider? I
If you don’t agree, you won’t agree until you die.”
The old man was not irritated by his words, and his expression was calm. When he finished venting, he spoke slowly: "You have no reason not to agree, and also, I want to give my equity to Ling Yan, and Xi Chen owns it."
The equity of the company is also in the hands of her and her children, which means that she will own 45% of the equity and become the largest shareholder, while you, the whole family combined, only account for 20%. You
I have no right to speak anymore.”
"Are you serious?" Gu Tiancheng's body was shaky.
The Gu brothers and sisters walked over quickly, supported him, and shouted worriedly: "Dad, are you okay?"
Gu Tiancheng's breathing was rapid and his eyes were vicious: "You old fool, you actually want to deprive me of my qualifications. Have you thought clearly? Ling Yan is just a weak woman, and behind her are three underage brats.
, what about you? How many years do you still have to live? I am exhausted, forget it
You live for five more years, and then what? When your legs kick off, who else can Ling Yan rely on? Even if I give up my position to her now, you will only hasten her demise, as well as your children and grandchildren.
Sun, you may never see the light of day again, you'd better think clearly."
The second elder's face was as pale as paper.
"Gu Tiancheng, how can you say these words? After your parents left, we have always regarded you as family. Unexpectedly, our efforts have only raised you, a white-eyed wolf, and now you are cursing us to die early? You
Such a heartless thing." The old lady angrily covered her chest, feeling very uncomfortable and heartbroken.
When Ling Yan saw this, she hurried over and looked at the old lady worriedly.
But the old man was calm and calm, not in a hurry: "Five years are enough for Ling Yan to become strong. Gu Tiancheng, you can just threaten us, but the company is the hard work of two generations of me and Xi Chen. You say you
Working hard, have you ever thought about it?
Yes, if we didn't authorize you to have a job, your hard work would be just a joke. For those who are ungrateful, the road will become narrower and narrower. You are the one who blocked your own road. You are to blame.
You only have yourself to blame."
"Very good, okay, I can give it to her now, but she'd better sit still." Gu Tiancheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent. After saying that, he took his children and left without looking back.
Walking out of the door of the old house, Gu Jie looked a little panicked: "Dad, do we really want to give the position to Ling Yan? How can she be so virtuous..."
"This is only temporary. The equity we hold is not as good as hers. She has more say than us. Forget it, I will endure this bad breath for the time being. However, we can't be idle. If Ling Yan dies, then the old man
Who else can you rely on? Those three baby dolls with no hair at all? Hehe, I will let the old man know how wrong his decision was." Gu Tiancheng looked unwilling, resentful, and angry.
Gu Min frowned and didn't say a word, but there was murderous intent in his eyes.
Watching Gu Tiancheng's family leave the scene angrily, Ling Yan felt anxious inside.
"Xiaoyan, come here and sit next to grandpa." The old man suddenly spoke in a calm voice.
Ling Yan nervously sat next to him. The old man looked at her first and found that her eyes were a little evasive.
"Xiaoyan, I remember that you have been with Xichen in the company for several months. You should be involved in everything he does every day." The old man immediately asked.
Ling Yan nodded and replied softly: "Yes, he made me learn a lot, but I still don't have confidence."
"Confidence is not given by others, it needs to be established by yourself. Don't be afraid and accept all this boldly, because you are continuing to follow his path for Xi Chen. If you don't have confidence, then we have no hope.
The old man sighed sadly: "Your grandma and I have discussed it. We will give you all our equity. In a few days, you will take office. In the past few days, we will go through the necessary procedures. You have to remember."
Come on, you are confident."
Ling Yan was a little stunned when she heard this. Is she going to be a female boss?
Or did you sit on your husband's shoulders?
"Grandpa, if you trust me, I will go through all the dangers and fires." Ling Yan didn't want the two elders to lose hope, so she agreed.
"Okay, we are happy with your words. We let you take over mainly because we consider the future of our children. You don't want our hard work to fall into the hands of outsiders." The old man used the children to strengthen her belief.
.
Ling Yan nodded: "Yes, I know."
"Okay, then you promised grandpa. Grandpa is very happy. Come, let's all have a drink." The old man was happy, and the old lady was also very pleased.
Ling Yan picked up the wine glass, raised her head and drank it all, thinking, does Gu Xichen know about this decision?
She desperately wanted to meet him, want to hear his thoughts and decisions, and want his support and approval.
Coming out of the old house, Haitang breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss Ling, uh, no, it's time to call you Mr. Ling."
"Haitang, why are you making fun of me?" Ling Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was already under great pressure.
"What I said is serious. I didn't make fun of you. Miss Ling, just accept your fate boldly. I used to work with Mr. Gu and knew everything about the company. From now on, I will be your assistant. What's the point?
If you don’t understand, I will teach you patiently, don’t be afraid.” Haitang liked the result very much, and she felt really happy watching Gu Tiancheng’s family eating.
"I'm not worried about whether the work is difficult or not. I'm worried that Gu Tiancheng's family will go crazy and bite people like mad dogs." Ling Yan sighed lowly. No matter how difficult the work is, you can always learn through it, but
If someone wants to kill her, even if she takes every precaution, there will always be times when she is negligent. Just once is enough to make her life worse than death.
"Don't worry, I will protect you 24 hours a day. There are still many people protecting you in the dark. Just stop thinking about it. Let's go. I will take you to a place." Haitang immediately took her hand and sat down.
car.
"Where are you going?" Ling Yan asked her in surprise.
"You'll know when we get here." Haitang refused to say anything and kept it secret.
An hour and a half later, Haitang took her to a villa. Ling Yan wanted to say something, but Haitang suddenly opened a secret door: "The basement is the boss's favorite wine cellar. It contains the best wine in the world. Go down."
Let’s see which one the boss likes to drink.”
Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, and Haitang gave her a lamp and asked her to carry it down.
Ling Yan's mind was a little confused, so she walked down the mahogany stairs obediently. However, when she was halfway up the stairs, she heard the sound of steady footsteps climbing up the stairs from the other end.
