Chapter 214: Project Encounters Problems
Seeing that they had come all this way and had to leave empty-handed, everyone rolled their eyes and said it was bad luck.
The ward was soon empty except for Tan Zhixu and his three companions. Even Tan's parents had left.
Neither of Tan's parents worked for the Tan family's group; they had already started their own company. They preferred the joy of nurturing a child rather than being in a high position.
Therefore, they didn't like Tan Zhixu, a child they didn't raise themselves.
Tan Zhixu withdrew from Xu Yihuan's embrace.
Her face still bore dried tear stains.
He casually raised his hand and wiped it.
What brings you here?
“I came to check on things, after all, Mr. Tan treated me well when he was alive.”
Someone you've only met a few times can't possibly be said to have treated her well.
Tan Zhixu didn't expose her and withdrew his gaze from Xu Yihuan.
"Since you're here today, I don't need to notify you anymore. Come to my grandfather's memorial service in three days. The address is at the Tan family's house."
"The place where Grandpa celebrated his birthday."
A place that just hosted a wedding is now hosting a funeral, and the main character is the same person.
Xu Yihuan felt breathless just thinking about it.
Tan Zhixu spoke calmly, his voice still hoarse from crying, but he showed no other emotion.
The implication of handling matters strictly by official channels is very clear.
Xu Yihuan felt a little uncomfortable.
He used to be very spoiled when talking about Zhixu, and they've only been broken up for two days...
Xu Yihuan concealed the emotions in her eyes and looked up at Tan Zhixu.
"Okay, I understand."
Tan Zhixu nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Instead, she turned to Tan Wenye and said, "Second Uncle, Aunt, I'm counting on you to help with things from now on."
He wasn't just talking about the old man's funeral.
Tan Wenye patted Tan Zhixu's head.
"Don't worry, with me here, no one can touch you."
Tan Zhixu's lips twitched into a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Then thank you very much, Second Uncle."
Looking at Tan Zhixu's hypocritical demeanor, Xu Yihuan felt a strange sense of irritation rising within her.
But knowing she had no grounds for being agitated, she didn't show it at all.
Tan Zhixu, Tan Wenye, and Tan Zhaoyan were talking, mostly about how to divide up some internal matters within the Tan family.
Xu Yihuan knew she should go out now, but her feet felt like they were rooted to the ground, and she couldn't move an inch.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Tan Wenye and Tan Zhaoyan went downstairs to buy food, leaving Tan Zhixu alone in the ward.
They tacitly agreed that they should spend more time with the old man and his favorite grandson.
The people who came to pick up the old man and take him home are already on their way.
If Tan Zhixu isn't allowed to have a conversation with the old man now, he might never have such an opportunity again.
Xu Yihuan should leave too.
Xu Yihuan gently patted Tan Zhixu's shoulder.
My condolences.
Tan Zhixu nodded.
Xu Yihuan turned her head, walked slowly to the door, and couldn't help but look back again.
"When discussing Zhixu, perhaps we should..."
As if knowing what Xu Yihuan was about to say, Tan Zhixu interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
We've already broken up.
Xu Yihuan didn't say anything, stared at Tan Zhixu for a few moments, then stepped back and closed the door behind her.
Tan Zhixu's eyes darkened after he saw Xu Yihuan leave.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't let you down."
He still remembers the connections his grandfather wanted to introduce to him and the project his grandfather mentioned on his grandfather's birthday.
He knew nothing about the projects in the new district; at most, he had only heard his grandfather mention them briefly.
Actually, Mr. Tan originally planned to gradually hand over the company to him. He thought he could hold out until he finished this project, and then bring Tan Zhixu in.
Although this method is too radical, it is still quite effective in establishing authority.
But man proposes, God disposes.
After leaving the hospital, Xu Yihuan returned to school.
She went to school as usual the next day, while Lu Anlan took several days off and didn't come.
After Pei Yi'an regained her memory, Tang Wanhua's relationship with her improved considerably.
I know why Xu Yihuan is here.
But Tang Wanhua didn't ask any more questions.
He simply said, "Have you resolved your issue? Are you still going to Malaysia? If you are, book your flight now, you can still make it."
Xu Yihuan shook her head.
"I'm not going."
She has to go to the Tan family's house for a memorial service in a couple of days.
Tang Wanhua didn't insist, and simply nodded in agreement.
Xu Yihuan has been staying at school for the past two days, and she is the only one in the dormitory. Pei Yutang's things have been packed away at some point.
You used to just not come back to stay often, but now you don't even stay here anymore?
One day in class, Xu Yihuan suddenly overheard gossip coming from the desk behind her.
"Hey, have you guys seen Pei Yutang these past few days? She hasn't been to class in ages, has she?"
"Why is she able to take so much leave? I want to take it too."
The next second, someone whispered mysteriously, "Hey no, I heard she did something wrong and got arrested."
Xu Yihuan's lips twitched as she listened.
Regardless, the Pei family can still afford to get their people released.
This rumor simply doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
Xu Yihuan shook her head inwardly and opened the book to read it carefully.
"Idiot, where did you hear that? Pei Yutang was sent to Australia."
"It seems to be in Melbourne."
"How did you know?" Everyone immediately became interested.
This person deliberately cultivated an air of mystery.
In short: "Her father was strict, and after she did something, she was thrown out."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately grabbed the man, wanting a more detailed version.
But Xu Yihuan knew.
I guess it's because they were talking about what happened at the old man's banquet.
Xu Yihuan sighed inwardly.
After class, the next day happened to be the weekend.
Feeling bored staying in the dorm alone and not wanting to go home, Xu Yihuan went to her own father.
He plopped down in his father's office.
Xu Rongyu has been very busy lately; he plans to move the headquarters here this year.
Therefore, many things can only be done continuously.
The project's focus also needs to be continuously shifted northward.
Fortunately, he has now moved all of the company's core executives to Beijing.
This small office building in Beijing has grown from just one or two studios to now having two floors occupied by their staff.
Xu Yihuan was playing on her iPad in her father's office.
Xu Rongyu was on the phone with her hands on her hips at that moment.
"What does this mean? The Tan family's project is stalled? How could that be? Are you kidding me? With that old man from the Tan family involved... What?!"
Xu Rongyu's voice suddenly rose, and she subconsciously covered the microphone and glanced at Xu Yihuan.
Xu Rongyu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that Xu Yihuan was still playing on her tablet.
But then her voice became much quieter.
"No, we can't change the person. If we're stuck, we're stuck. We can't let it go on forever. How about this, you invite the person out for a meal and we'll see what the situation is like."
