Cheng Anning was lying on the bed dying, curled up into a ball, motionless.
The door was pushed open rudely, and a nanny walked in and said unceremoniously: "Madam, it's time for you to get up. Sir, you have to eat."
Cheng Anning didn't move.
The nanny immediately pulled back the quilt.
Cheng Anning moved and slowly sat up. His face was cold, and his pupils were empty of emotion, as if they were dead.
"Madam, please get up."
Cheng Anning didn't resist, just like a robot, following instructions and actions.
She changed her clothes and walked out of the room.
This is a clean house, located in a high-end community, with luxurious decoration and large size.
There was just her and a nanny in the whole house.
Mr. Huo is not here.
Although the nanny was full of contempt, the food she cooked was rich and tonic, which was very beneficial to a woman's recovery after a miscarriage.
Cheng Anning drank the soup quietly.
The nanny followed the order, took the remote control, and turned on the TV.
At this time, a financial news was playing on the TV.
"Zhao's company is under investigation for suspected tax evasion, financial fraud, shady work, corruption and bribery, etc. All the main personnel involved in the company have been summoned. The impact has been huge recently. This morning, Zhao's company's stock market fell across the board, and its market value was wiped out by hundreds of dollars.
100 million……"
Cheng Anning stopped holding the spoon and looked blankly at the TV. The picture flashed on it was of the Zhao family and his wife being taken away, together with Zhao Junlin.
Her face turned a little pale.
The nanny saw her expression clearly and turned back to report to her husband.
Cheng Anning was confused and his mind was in confusion.
The Zhao family is running a good business and there is absolutely no way something could happen so soon.
The only possibility is that Mr. Huo took action.
She didn't have a good impression of the Zhao family, but Zhao Junlin was implicated because of her, and it was her fault.
But now she can't protect herself and can't do anything.
The mouthful of soup in her mouth was slowly swallowed, and she regained her composure, as dull as a puppet.
After finishing the meal, the nanny turned off the TV and said, "Sir, you have to stay at home for the past two days. You can't go out until two days have passed."
Cheng Anning only heard what she wanted to hear. She could go out and Mr. Huo had no intention of locking her up.
That's right, now that the 'stain' on her body has been eliminated, he has become kind.
She stayed at home obediently for two days before being allowed to go out.
As soon as she went out, she immediately went to Yinglan Music Store, but she only saw many workers moving things around inside.
She ran over nervously, grabbed a worker and asked: "What are you moving? You are not allowed to move it! Put it back quickly!"
The caught worker said impatiently: "We use money to do things. Miss, please don't make trouble and go away quickly."
"No! Put it down quickly! Don't touch the things inside!"
Cheng Anning seemed to be possessed by something evil and wanted to stop them from moving their things.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her, dragged her outside, and said nervously: "Mr. Xiao Cheng, don't mess with them. Those people are not legitimate workers."
Cheng Anning looked up and saw that it was Zhou Lansheng.
"Manager Zhou! Company, company..."
Zhou Lansheng said in a difficult tone: "Mr. Chen, the company has been auctioned, and the building has been liquidated and paid off by the bank. Now it has been bought by a third-rate mixed company, and the price is very low."
"How low?"
"Three hundred thousand."
Cheng Anning's eyes widened and she blurted out: "Impossible!"
How could such a building, located in a downtown area and covering a large area, cost only 300,000 yuan?!
Zhou Lansheng showed a wry smile, "Yes, you heard it right, it is indeed three hundred thousand. This company is called Lu Hua Security, which provides security services.
In fact, it was just a gimmick made by a group of hooligans, and they used some tricks to force us to sell it at this price."
Cheng Anning pinched herself hard, forcing herself to calm down.
She had already guessed that the company would definitely not be able to survive the few days she missed.
The worst preparation she could make was to temporarily close the company. If that didn't work out, she would mortgage the building and get a loan from the bank.
There is always a way for everything.
But she didn't expect the outcome to be even worse.
"Now, not only have we not paid off our debts, we still owe five million to the bank. The company building has also been sold at a low price. Mr. Xiao Cheng, I only kept this information."
Zhou Lansheng took out a briefcase and handed it to Cheng Anning.
"It contains the company's information over the years, as well as most of the manuscripts left by your mother, and the manufacturing information of Anning Piano. As for the rest... I'm sorry."
Zhou Lansheng really felt guilty. He took over the company from Qin Xiang and promised that it would be successful. However, he failed to properly hand over the company to Cheng Anning.
At this moment, Cheng Anning's eyes were filled with tears, and she was holding her briefcase tightly as if she was holding her dead mother.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng."
"Manager Zhou, there is no need to apologize. Thank you for your efforts over the years. I am the one who should be sorry because I am incapable..."
Zhou Lansheng didn't say anything, he just patted her shoulder gently and continued: "I am also preparing to leave the Imperial Capital. I should have left long ago, but I have been waiting for you to come over and hand these things over to you."
"I'm going to develop in Province G. If you need me again one day, I will come back at any time."
"Call me Uncle Zhou from now on, I'm leaving."
Zhou Lansheng slowly turned around and was about to leave when he heard a louder voice coming from behind him.
"Uncle Zhou, I thank you on behalf of my mother. Thank you for your efforts."
Cheng Anning bowed deeply and never raised his head.
Zhou Lansheng's eyes also heated up and he did not dare to turn around. He just said: "Mr. Xiao Cheng, please be careful and don't provoke people in this company. They are not good people. When you have the opportunity to become stronger in the future, you can complete your work."
It’s my mother’s last wish.”
After saying that, Zhou Lansheng left.
Cheng Anning stood for a long time, slowly squatted down, hugged his knees, and burst into tears.
Her thin back resembled a kitten abandoned on the street.
On the street, a Rolls-Royce was parked.
Huo Yan looked at her quietly, with an indifferent expression.
Secretary Yang Ke whispered: "Boss, Yinglan Piano Shop was left by my wife's mother. Do this..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Ke met Huo Yan's eyes. He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back. He closed his mouth tightly and remained silent.
Huo Yan looked away and said calmly: "Go down and inspect tomorrow."
The words "Go down and inspect" are equivalent to falling out of favor with the emperor.
Yang Ke regretted his meddling just now, but did not dare to resist. He only agreed in a low voice, praying in his heart that the boss and his wife would not get bored with each other in the future.
But Cheng Anning had cried enough, hugged the materials, and returned home in despair.
She locked herself in her room and looked at the documents one by one.
There are familiar handwriting on it, my mother's handwriting.
Her tears dripped onto the paper, slowly smearing and blurring herself.
"Mom... I'm sorry... I can't do anything well... I'm useless..."
Cheng Anning didn't know that all of this was punishment for her. This chapter has been completed!
