If today is considered a final burst of energy before death, then we've been taking pictures all day, so we should be done by now.
So, will he hiccup tonight? He'll be back in just three months. If he doesn't hiccup, Nie Zhao will have to push him onto the set.
So after dinner, Chen Rou and the others went home first, while Nie Zhao had to go to the hospital again.
In fact, he was already very unhappy when Secretary An reported this, because Secretary An said that the old man was in very good spirits today and had finally realized that he was going to lie low all the way back and would be in the best position to watch the ceremony.
When he was happy, his spirits improved even more, and he even started asking him what clothes he should wear.
That was enough to annoy Nie Zhao, but there was something even more infuriating.
Secretary An then tattled again: "Second Master came to Hong Kong today for an interview, and then he didn't leave, but he also didn't go to the hospital."
His father was dying in the hospital, and his biggest wish was for him, Nie Yao.
But Nie Yao, although he went to the hospital a few months ago after being disciplined by Nie Zhao.
But even though he had a holiday during the Chinese New Year and was free to come and go as he pleased, he still didn't go to the hospital.
The new year has passed, and it's already March, but he still hasn't gone.
He came to interview me today, and since he's not in a hurry to leave, shouldn't he go see his father? But he still doesn't.
Nie Zhao asked, "Where is he? Where did he go?"
Secretary An said, "They went to Huo Qiqi's house. The information I just asked about hasn't come out yet; they're drinking."
Nie Zhao reached out his hand, and Secretary An dialed a number before handing it to the boss.
He dialed Nie Yao's number, of course, and when the call connected, Nie Yao sounded quite happy.
He said, "Ah Zhao, is there something you need?"
Nie Zhao said, "Aren't you going to ask him anything? Your dad is conscious. Aren't you going to go and see him?"
Nie Yao's tone immediately turned sour, and after a long pause, he managed to stammer, "I'm busy."
Hearing Nie Zhao's loud voice, he quickly said, "Next time, next time I will definitely go to the hospital."
Nie Zhao didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.
When he arrived at the hospital, Nie Rong had already taken sedatives and was asleep.
However, there was a large stack of newspapers on the table next to the hospital bed, indicating that he had asked the caregiver to read the newspapers to him today.
Also, there were two boxes of egg tarts on the table. Nie Zhao was a little surprised and asked the caregiver, "Can the old man eat now?"
The caregiver quickly explained, "No, but he asked us to buy this for you. He said you loved eating this when you were little."
Yes, not only did A Yuan love egg tarts when he was a child, but Nie Zhao also loved them.
He often bought delicious egg tarts from A Yuan, but Nie Rong never bought any for him.
And what is he doing today? He's about to die, yet he's busy trying to make up for the family ties that Nie Zhao no longer needs.
But after all, his elder brother had passed away. Nie Yao didn't do it on purpose; he had been spoiled since childhood. He had no heart and, of course, no sense of responsibility. Nie Zhao couldn't let the previous chairman of the Nie Group leave without supervision, so he could only sit there.
He sat there until 11 o'clock, then got up and told the caregiver, "Call me anytime."
Regardless of what Nie Zhao thought in his heart, in the eyes of everyone at the hospital, he was an extremely filial son.
I should come at least once every other day. I heard that my dad woke up and I lay down by his bedside fully clothed, staying up for half the night.
What filial son? Isn't this him?
Poor Boss Nie's feelings were beyond anyone's comprehension, and his anxiety was beyond anyone's solution.
After getting into the car to go home, he took out his phone and called Wade, saying, "Help me draft a board resolution. The next chairman of the board will be your wife, Ms. Chen Rou. I want to switch places with her."
Wade thought he had misheard for a moment, and after a long silence, he said, "I'm afraid the board members will object."
Then I asked, "Could it be a health problem? Have you had a medical check-up?"
Changes to the chairman of the board of directors require approval from the China Banking Regulatory Commission.
Generally speaking, such a major change would only occur if the current president had health problems.
But Nie Zhao said, "I'm fine. It's just a simple change. Just do as I say."
Wade said, "But as chairman, the wife's shareholding must be at least 10% of the share capital. If you want to do that, you need to transfer the share capital first. That change also needs to be notified to the China Banking Regulatory Commission in advance and approved."
The China Banking Regulatory Commission is just going through the motions. If a company owner wants to give money away, can they really interfere?
However, things are rather complicated, and Wade also had to remind everyone of the risks: "The stock price will plummet in the short term, and once the group's stock price drops, if you propose changes, the board of directors probably won't agree."
Nie Zhao said, "If the price drops here, let the mainland companies continue to buy in. The change of chairman can be processed first, and the news can be released after July 1st. Don't worry, the funds flowing in from the mainland will be able to raise our stock price."
He added, "If your wife asks, just say it's a financial transaction, and she'll cooperate."
The entire Nie family's 10% share capital, which is about 800 million shares, is also the Nie family's bargaining chip in controlling the Nie family. Nie Zhao casually said that he was going to transfer it to his wife.
In Hong Kong, not to mention now, going back three generations, no one has ever done this.
Moreover, doing so is very risky. What if Chen Rou divorces Nie Zhao one day? She would take away the initiative of the Nie family.
Judging from Nie Zhao's words, there's no need to tell the boss's wife about this for now; we can talk about it when things are almost done.
Wade couldn't figure out why, but as his subordinate, he simply said, "OK."
Secretary An, on the other hand, used to be Nie Rong's worm, and now she's Nie Zhao's worm.
He turned around, smiled, and said, "Boss, your wife is very good. She deserves it."
