Jiang Che glanced at him and said calmly, "The literal meaning."
He Jie and the others all scoffed, looking disappointed.
Xie Ming asked with great interest, "So, it's almost done?"
Jiang Che smiled and shook his head, but didn't say anything more. He wanted to agree, but Ye Zhao hadn't given him a reply yet. Thinking of this, Jiang Che's eyes darkened a bit.
Seeing that he didn't speak again, the others changed the subject and stopped talking about it.
Xie Ming sat down next to Shen Du, then suddenly remembered something about work and asked, "I heard Shen's Group changed to a new transportation company? Why the sudden change?"
Chen Du frowned and replied, "No, we've added another partner company."
Xie Ming was still curious and asked, "What's the background of this Song family that you're helping them so readily?"
In the past, Shen Du was always very measured and principled in his work matters, but this time he was so blatantly biased.
Chen Du said calmly, "I'm nothing special. I helped my family a lot in the past, so I'm just giving back."
Xie Ming nodded thoughtfully: "I see."
After saying that, she seemed to remember something, frowned with a headache, and turned to ask Chen Du, "Your grandfather hasn't been pressuring you to get married? Tell me quickly, what did you do to make him stop pressuring you?"
Chen Du: "...I didn't do anything."
Xie Ming didn't believe it at all: "Stop it, tell me quickly, is there any way to stop your family from pressuring you to get married?"
Hearing this, Fang Yizhou laughed loudly: "I say, Ming-ge, why don't you learn from Shuo-ge? Look at him, his family hasn't been pressuring him since he had a child."
He Jie also joked with a smile, "That's right, once you have kids, you won't rush them anymore."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che's smile faded slightly. He turned and met Shen Du's gaze. Neither of them said anything, and then looked away.
Xie Ming said with a look of disgust, "Go away, do you think I'm that kind of person? Can't you come up with a better idea?"
Fang Yizhou sighed and slumped onto the sofa: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm being pressured too."
He Jie smiled and looked at Shen Du: "Brother Du, why did Grandpa Shen suddenly change his mind? Four years ago, he even dared to get engaged to someone like Ye Zhao in order to urge her to get married, but now he's suddenly stopped urging her. It's quite strange."
Chen Du leaned back slightly and said in a calm tone, "Maybe he'll just come to terms with it when he gets older."
After asking around for a while without getting a single truthful answer, the group stopped asking and changed the subject, starting to chat about recent gossip.
Jiang Che checked the time and was about to leave when He Jie suddenly spoke up: "Hey Du, I heard the Ye family went bankrupt? Is it true?"
Chen Du nodded: "What happened recently?"
He Jie's expression was somewhat complicated: "I heard some bad news. I heard that I saw Ye Zhao's sister and Shen Yu together. You should be careful."
Jiang Che frowned upon hearing this, looked at Shen Du without saying anything.
Chen Du simply asked, "Who told you that?"
He Jie's gaze was somewhat evasive: "I just heard it from someone else. Anyway, you should be careful. The Ye family has bad character, and your cousins are no better than you. Don't let them cause trouble for you again, and then you'll have to clean up their messes."
Fang Yizhou agreed, saying, "That's right. The Ye family may lack ability, but they're good at causing trouble. Their economic strength is so-so, but they have a high profile. Everything associated with them is a mess."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che looked at him with a deep expression.
Xie Ming nodded in agreement: "I heard Ye Feng had a brain hemorrhage and is in the hospital?"
Jiang Che asked unhurriedly, "Who told you that?"
Xie Ming's gaze also showed a rare hint of guilt: "Who doesn't know about this? Many people saw it."
Jiang Che frowned and said nothing more, while Chen Du changed the subject at the opportune moment.
Several days passed, and Ye Feng's condition did not improve. Several experts and hospital doctors held a meeting overnight and unanimously decided to perform craniotomy.
Ye Zhao had no objections. Even if he wasn't her biological father, she couldn't bear to watch a life slip away like that. She was willing to try anything, as long as it was possible.
Jiang Che was in a meeting when he received the message. As soon as he finished, he rushed over. To avoid being seen, he was very careful on the way, as he did not want to cause Ye Zhao any trouble or distress.
When he arrived at the hospital, Yang Xu was already there and was discussing matters with Ye Zhao.
"President Shen said that you only need to look after President Ye, and he will take care of everything else."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Che appeared at the door. Without much hesitation, Jiang Che said to him, "Go back. I'll take care of Ye Zhao. I'll talk to your CEO, Mr. Shen."
Yang Xu paused for a moment, then nodded and left. Before leaving, he turned back to look at Jiang Che and the other person's backs, finally realizing that something was wrong.
"I'm late. Mr. Ye is about to go into the operating room, isn't he?" Jiang Che's voice was extremely gentle.
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You've already helped me enough. I can manage on my own here. You don't need to come if you have anything to do."
Jiang Che retorted, "How can that be? You'll have someone to help you if something happens. Besides, I'm not too comfortable with you being a girl."
Ye Zhao looked up into his clear eyes, her heart stirred slightly, and she didn't say anything to refuse.
"Where's Aze? I haven't seen him these past two days."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che's expression became somewhat complicated. He remained silent for several seconds before saying, "You know about his situation. He confessed to his family these past few days. My parents are a bit traditional at their age, and they're having some trouble accepting it..."
Ye Zhao interrupted him with some concern and asked, "Is Aze alright?"
Jiang Che chuckled and said, "My parents aren't that cruel; they wouldn't resort to violence so easily."
Ye Zhao smiled somewhat awkwardly. It was only because Jiang Ze was always worried about having his legs broken that she asked the unnecessary question.
Jiang Che continued, "It's normal that he can't accept it right away. He'll be fine after a while. Don't worry about him."
"good."
Jiang Che looked at her gentle profile, paused, and then said, "Don't worry about President Ye's matter. The experts are all top experts in this field in China, so there won't be any problems."
Ye Zhao looked at him and smiled, saying, "Yes, I'm not worried. It's just that I'll be troubling you during this time."
"No trouble at all, your business is my business."
His gaze was sincere and intense. When Ye Zhao's eyes fell into his, she felt as if she had been burned and quickly withdrew her gaze.
After a few seconds of silence, she spoke again: "Jiang Che."
"Hmm?" Jiang Che felt a ticklish sensation in his heart when he heard Ye Zhao call him that for the first time.
Ye Zhao said softly, "I've been too busy lately, could you give me some time to think about it again?"
