Chapter 66 Acquisition is risky

It was also at this time that Jian Mo realized that what she cared about was not the bonus, but the sense of accomplishment obtained by trying her best.

Mu Yi's voice was faintly heard: "Mr. Huo, the board of directors is waiting for you."

Jian Mo raised her eyes and looked at the man in the main seat through the layers of people. He buttoned up his suit, looked at her, frowned subconsciously, and felt a little annoyed.

"Let's go."

"What? Song Ke really said that?" Xiao Chen from the design department exclaimed, not shying away from the question. "Who the hell does she think she is? She's so shameless to blatantly steal the credit!"

Jian Mo tugged at her arm and said, "Forget it. Now that things have come to this, it's good enough to get the money."

"How can we let this go? All your efforts have been wasted. Do you really want to be a supporting role in the design department for the rest of your life? You clearly have a better future!" Xiao Chen said indignantly.

"What else can we do if we can't let it go? Should we go find Mr. Huo and reason with him? He has so many things to do every day that he doesn't have the energy to care about such a small quarrel." Jian Mo sneered. She lay on the table and closed her eyes. "I'm going to take a nap. Don't say anymore."

“…”

As soon as Jian Mo closed her eyes, she saw Huo Qichen's face with unclear emotions. It was obvious that he was the one who accompanied her to complete this project, but just now, he didn't say a word and tacitly approved of Song Ke's behavior.

For a moment, she felt that the reason she felt uncomfortable was actually because of his attitude.

"Acquiring Wanjing is too risky. It requires half of Huo's capital flow. Achen, it's too risky."

The middle-aged man in front of me spoke with great effort, smoking one cigarette after another, and made his closing statement.

Huo Qichen picked up the cup and tasted the tea with the tip of his tongue. It was a bit bitter, which he didn't like.

"Uncle, you are old and should be enjoying your retirement at home. Who instigated you to get involved in this? Tell me and I will handle it."

The old man, known as Uncle, tapped his cane vigorously. "No one instigated me. I'm a member of the Huo family. I should give advice for the development of the Huo family. You're putting everyone at risk!"

Hearing this, Huo Qichen put down his teacup and said, "Without my adventure, the Huo family wouldn't be where they are today!"

The old man, who had experienced countless hardships, was shocked by his aura and was speechless for a moment.

"Uncle Huo, don't get involved in things that shouldn't be your business. Go spend more time with grandpa when you have time. He's sick and needs company." Huo Qichen said this and stood up, "Muyi, show him out!"

"Achen! Huo Qichen!" Uncle Huo raised his hand to stop Mu Yi from getting closer. "I'm telling you, I'm firmly against your acquisition of Wanjing. Don't forget, I still have shares. I might be able to join forces with other shareholders to impeach you!"

Huo Qichen smiled after hearing this, with a watery look on his lips. "You can try it."

The old man left angrily without anyone helping him.

Mu Yi turned back, a little worried: "Boss Huo, acquiring Wanjing is indeed risky. Not to mention Zhou Liangqi's covetous eyes, the debt that Wanjing itself carries is also a big problem."

Huo Qichen glanced sideways and glared, "You've been asking more and more questions lately, and I don't like it."

Mu Yi immediately lowered his head and kept silent.

Huo Qi Chen picked up the suit jacket hanging on the chair and strode out of the office without letting anyone follow him. The VIP elevator stopped on the 27th floor. He walked closer and saw that the workstation was already empty. He frowned.

An employee passing by was startled when he saw him, "Huo, Mr. Huo?"

"Where's Jian Mo from your department?"

That person was Xiao Chen. She panicked and tried to cover up: "Jian...Jian Mo received a call from the hospital. She must have had something to do at home, so she left early."

In an instant, the man's eyes changed.

"Dad, I miss you."

In the VIP ward, Jian Mo sat beside the bed, wiping the old man's arm with a wet towel. Father Jian had been lying in bed for too long, his muscles had atrophied, and even his skin had become aged. It was impossible to tell that he was only in his forties, but rather in his fifties or sixties.

Jian Mo felt distressed watching him. In just three years, he had turned from a healthy man into a little old man.

"Dad, please wake up soon. I've been wronged a lot at the company recently. Please listen to me and pat my head, okay?"

"There's trouble at home too. Jian Zhou is crazy and has no bottom line. When you wake up, take care of him. He's most afraid of you."

The towel was wrung out in the water again and again. Jian Mo was very patient, muttering to herself constantly, always paying attention to whether Jian's father had any reaction.

After wiping his body, Mr. Jian was still indifferent. Only the beating lines on the electrocardiogram proved that he was still alive.

Jian Mo was in a heavy mood and sat there in a daze.

She actually didn't receive a call from the hospital today, she was just feeling depressed and wanted to come and see Father Jian.

She hasn't been to the hospital for a long time since Jian Zhou's incident, and she feels a little guilty.

She stared at the old face of Jian's father, thinking that if he woke up, he would definitely feel sorry for all the efforts she had made over the years. Unfortunately, he was asleep, and there was no one in the world who would ask her if she was happy or not, no one anymore.

"Xiaomo?" The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and Xu Ming appeared in white, looking gentle and elegant.

Jian Mo stood up immediately, "Doctor Xu."

Xu Ming motioned for her to sit down and said with a smile, "How come you're addicted to calling me that? You used to call me Brother Ming."

Jian Mo didn't know why, but it seemed that ever since she married Huo Qi Chen, a distance had arisen between her and the opposite sex.

"Is it okay that I came here unexpectedly today? Has there been any change in my father recently?"

"No way! You're a family member of the patient, so you should come and visit." Xu Ming put his hands in his pockets, staring at Jian Mo the whole time, as if he was about to say something but stopped. "I'm not your father's attending physician right now, but I have followed up with the medical team. According to them, he's at least stable now. Don't worry, Xiaomo."

"That's good..." Stability meant no progress. Jian Mo felt a little disappointed, but she didn't show it.

"I heard you were here, so I came to see you." Xu Ming pulled a golden orange out of his pocket. "The head nurse gave it to me. I heard it's very sweet. Want some?"

Jian Mo smiled and said, "The head nurse gave it to you. It's not good for me to eat it."

Xu Ming also smiled. He peeled the orange peel with his long fingers, revealing the slightly yellow flesh. He said, "I've recently applied to the hospital to join your father's medical team. After all, I've been following his condition for three years, so I understand a lot more."

Jian Mo was a little surprised, but also happy, "Okay, if you participate in my father's treatment, I will be relieved."

She trusts him very much.

"Everything is still going through the process. I don't know if it will be approved by the higher-ups, but I will do my best to get it." Xu Ming broke open the orange segments and held them to Jian Mo's lips. "I don't have time to eat them, so you can try them for me."

Jian Mo froze, almost falling into Xu Ming's gentle and affectionate eyes. She opened her mouth and bit into the orange, "Hmm! Very sweet! Try it too!"

After seeing her eat it, Xu Ming broke off a petal and put it into his own mouth.

"You called me a while ago and asked me to keep an eye on Jian Zhou's situation. Then you didn't come to the hospital again. What happened? Did something happen?"
