After Wen Qiao went upstairs, A Dao watched her departing figure with a serious expression.

She said to Wen Zhengnian, "Sir, I feel that Miss's change is a bit too fast. She used to be very resistant to everything about the Wen family, but now she can think about these issues from your perspective."

Wen Zhengnian glanced at Adao.

“It’s been over a year. She’s not stupid; how could she not see the effort and investment I’ve put into her? As for Dr. Huo, I asked him to persuade Wen Qiao, explaining the meaning of blood being thicker than water.”

“I promised Wen Qiao that as long as she can protect the Wen family’s assets, the inheritance that Chong Jin will receive in the future can be enjoyed by her other three children.”

Ado immediately said, "I was just asking a question, sir. You're very thoughtful. I didn't expect you to ask Dr. Huo to act as an intermediary. Miss, you seem to listen to Dr. Huo quite a bit."

Wen Zhengnian: "Because Huo Dongqing helped Wen Qiao, Wen Qiao's daughter was able to grow up healthy thanks to Huo Dongqing's help."

Wen Zhengnian gave Huo Dongqing very practical things: money and funding for medical research.

Huo Dongqing needed these things.

Wen Zhengnian suddenly felt as if he had a handle on everyone, making them restrain each other, while he was the master who controlled the lines.

But Wen Zhengnian's scheming against you overlooked the importance of emotions.

Huo Dongqing's feelings for Wen Qiao were one of forbearance and unrequited love. Even now, knowing that Wen Qiao is doing something wrong, he doesn't stop her but instead takes the opportunity to help her.

At the same time, Huo Dongqing deliberately exposed the shortage of research funding. Sure enough, after Wen Zhengnian found out by chance, he immediately offered to help him.

Huo Dongqing willingly walked into the trap by following Wen Zhengnian's conditions.

Knowing what Wen Zhengnian was plotting, Huo Dongqing gave him a chance.

Wen Zhengnian was indeed shrewd and calculating, but Huo Dongqing and Wen Qiao were not simple-minded people who actually followed his schemes and fell into the trap.

As an outsider, Adao almost noticed that Wen Qiao's calmness was a bit strange.

But Wen Zhengnian is far too confident.

Because he manipulated so many things, none of them were exposed or revealed, which led to his arrogance and self-confidence.

Ado was just a bodyguard leader, and there was no need for him to argue with his employer. Over the years, he had become accustomed to obeying orders and following commands.

Without giving it much thought, he suppressed the strange suspicion that had just arisen in his mind.

For a period of time afterward, Wen Qiao began to get to know various leaders of the bank through A Dao. Several core leaders were Chinese, while others were from overseas.

Wen Qiao spent three months familiarizing herself with the basic operations of the bank.

During these three months, Wen Zhengnian's health seemed to be deteriorating, and he often fell into a deep sleep in the middle of the night, so more caregivers were assigned to his side.

Huo Dongqing also visited the Wen family more and more frequently.

Wen Qiao had just finished her work at the bank and returned home when she saw Huo Dongqing there. She asked him anxiously.

How is my grandfather doing?

Huo Dongqing's expression was grave. He said softly, "Respiratory failure. The old man was just asking you about it. Let me go with you to see him."

Wen Qiao nodded.

He also said that he would come and teach me personally after I finished my three-month course.

As Wen Qiao spoke, she and Huo Dongqing walked to Wen Zhengnian's room on the first floor. His room was very clean, and everything was arranged very neatly, which gave it a feeling of impersonality.

When Wen Qiao came in, Wen Zhengnian waved to her.
