The next day, Xu Yanshu had just sat down in his office when someone brought him two large stacks of documents.
"Assistant Lin, what does this mean?" Xu Yanshu narrowed his eyes, his expression ambiguous.
Lin Yang replied with a formulaic smile, "The chairman means that since you, Mr. Xu, are quite familiar with the company's situation, he would like to trouble you to help organize it."
Then he pointed to the stack of documents next to him.
"These are the new projects the company will be working on next year. Please review them and then develop a corresponding plan."
This is deliberately designed to increase his workload!
Xu Yanshu frowned unhappily. It seemed that Xie Junyang was very unhappy that he had thoughts of divorce, which was why he had come to upset him in such a big way. His eyes turned cold without him realizing it.
"In that case, I will hand over all the relevant documents and materials for the new energy project to you, and you can pass them on to Chairman Xie."
"this……"
“After all, a person’s energy is limited. If I organize all this stuff, I definitely won’t be able to continue following up on the new energy project,” Xu Yanshu said helplessly, spreading his hands. “To avoid any mishaps later on…”
"I think it's better to leave the new energy projects to others, Assistant Lin, what do you think?"
New energy projects are inherently complex and cumbersome, and now that the bidding process has just concluded, he's already thinking about taking on more responsibility.
If anything goes wrong, Xie Junyang, given his personality, will definitely investigate it thoroughly.
Xu Yanshu secretly wondered if Xie Junyang was trying to test her attitude through this incident.
If he can tolerate even such obvious difficulties, he will only become more demanding and eventually tame himself into a puppet in her hands.
"But...Chairman Xie has no intention of letting anyone else take over the new energy project,"
Lin Yang hesitated slightly, but faced with such a forceful question, he had no choice but to admit, "Perhaps I misunderstood. I'll go back and ask Chairman Xie again!"
Xu Yanshu nodded slightly, "Okay, then I'll wait for your news!"
Watching the other person turn and leave, Xu Yanshu's expression immediately turned cold, and then he gave a cold laugh with an ambiguous meaning.
He wouldn't actively consider breaking ties with Xie Junyang unless absolutely necessary, but that doesn't mean he'd compromise with Xie Junyang indefinitely right now.
...
After a busy afternoon, Xu Yanshu was planning to drive back to his apartment in Haicheng when he made a quick phone call to Aunt Xu to ask about his grandmother's condition.
"Don't worry, the old lady's condition is very stable and good recently. She is chatting with Miss Huanyu right now."
Did Xie Huanyu go to see her grandmother?
Xu Yanshu was slightly surprised. Xie Huanyu did not go home last night, and he did not see her at the company today either. He assumed that Xie Huanyu had been with Lu Huai.
After regaining his senses, he immediately changed direction and went straight to the sanatorium.
"So you're saying that you're annoyed that I come too often and bother you?"
"You, you, that's not what I meant at all!" The old lady patted Xie Huanyu's shoulder reproachfully, her face full of doting smiles. "Grandma was just worried about taking up too much of your personal time."
"I wish you could come and keep me company every day,"
Xie Huanyu covered her mouth and chuckled. How could she not know what her grandmother meant? She just wanted to coax the old lady into laughing at her.
When Xu Yanshu arrived, his grandmother was joking with Xie Huanyu, and the atmosphere was very warm. His expression softened involuntarily.
"grandmother!"
Xie Huanyu was slightly surprised to see Xu Yanshu. She had only decided to come at the last minute and hadn't expected to run into him so coincidentally.
"So you two planned this out beforehand?"
The old lady started to joke, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes, "Yan Shu, don't forget that your father's death anniversary is coming soon!"
Unexpectedly, this topic was brought up suddenly, and Xie Huanyu's smile faded slightly, her gaze becoming complicated without her noticing.
She was actually very grateful to Uncle Xu for protecting her with his life in the crisis, but she did not expect that her father would start to force her to marry Xu Yanshu because of this.
At first, she was baffled and had a heated argument with her father about it.
It wasn't until later that her father mentioned that he had noticed Xu Yanshu's unusual gaze towards him, so offering himself to him was the best compensation and repayment.
I'm not sure if he deliberately revealed a flaw, but ultimately I paid the price for it...
Xu Yanshu's mood inevitably became somewhat heavy, his shoulders slumped slightly, and he took a deep breath before nodding in agreement.
"Grandma, I know!"
The old man nodded, then spoke again.
"I'd like to go with you guys this year, while I'm still in relatively good health. What do you think?"
"Go together?" Xie Huanyu and Xu Yanshu were both taken aback.
Grandma only slowly accepted the fact that her son died young in the last two years. She was always saddened whenever she mentioned it. I never expected that she would take the initiative to ask to pay respects together.
Putting aside whether her current physical condition can handle it, the experience of a parent outliving their child is a huge psychological challenge for the elderly woman.
Xie Huanyu nodded happily, "Okay, then Yan Shu and I will come to pick you up, and we'll go visit Dad together!"
Since Grandma was able to bring it up herself, it means she has completely accepted the matter, so there's no need for them to deliberately help her avoid it.
Xu Yanshu couldn't help but glance at Xie Huanyu in surprise. He was still considering whether it was appropriate to let his grandmother go with him, but he didn't expect her to agree so quickly.
Since that's the case, he couldn't say anything more. He would just have to keep an eye on his grandmother's condition.
"Yan Shu, look how wonderful your wife is!"
The old lady nodded with a smile in her eyes, and took Xie Huanyu's hand and placed it in Xu Yanshu's palm, "You two are both good children, and I sincerely wish you can continue to have a good life together."
An unnatural look flashed across Xu Yanshu's face. He wanted to pull his hand back, but he was worried that his grandmother would notice something, so he chose to let it go.
Xie Huanyu also felt inexplicably uncomfortable, especially after noticing the man's forced expression, her face gradually turned cold.
Isn't this long-running divorce drama enough? Does he now intend to start keeping a civilized distance from me?
As if suddenly remembering something, the old man turned to Xie Huanyu again, "By the way, Yu'er, where is your friend?"
Friends? Did Xie Huanyu bring other people with her?!
Xu Yanshu frowned in confusion, about to ask something, when he turned around and found Lu Huai standing in the doorway—
