Chapter 057: So generous
Several of Zhou's larger shareholders also came to the hospital. They suspected that Zhou Ding was pretending, otherwise why would he faint for no reason? Zhou Ding had always been in good health.
Was it to avoid their coercion? Yes, if they forced people to sell their shares after they were admitted to the hospital, it would seem that they were so aggressive, so they seriously suspected that this was Zhou Ding's scheme.
As a result, when they arrived at the hospital, they found that Zhou Ding was full of tubes and unconscious, and Zhou Ding's wife and son had red eyes and cried like crazy.
This... even if he was pretending, it couldn't be so convincing, right?
It seemed that the man was really fainted, and they were concerned about Zhou Ding's condition. As a result, the doctor said that the man was not in danger of life.
The shareholders looked at each other and were a little disappointed.
They hoped that something would happen to Zhou Ding, so that it would be easier to deal with the orphans and widows left behind.
In the end, he just fainted. Oh! Disappointment!
Although they thought so in their hearts, they could not show it on their faces. They looked sad and comforted Mei Qian before turning around and leaving.
Mei Qian wiped her tears and looked at Zhou Ding on the bed with a complicated expression.
Zhou Yuwen came over and patted Mei Qian's hand: "Mom."
He said nothing. Mei Qian looked at her only son and pursed her lips: "Don't worry, Mom will do what she promised you."
Zhou Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief. It was not
until the next day that Zhou Ding slowly woke up. When he woke up, he felt a sharp pain in his head. He finally opened his eyes and saw Mei Qian with red eyes, sitting by the bed and watching over him. Zhou Ding's expression eased a little, but he frowned again: "What's going on?" He had just woken up and his mind was still a little confused. Mei Qian wiped her tears and said sadly: "It was all because of that group of shareholders. They were so aggressive that they made you faint. After you fainted, those people chased you to the hospital and refused to give in." Zhou Ding remembered what happened before he fainted, and his face really turned ugly: "This group of people... cough cough, this group of people is really!" Mei Qian hurriedly patted his chest and said worriedly: "You... Don't get too excited, the doctor said you need to rest now." Zhou Ding saw that Mei Qian couldn't hide the worry in her eyes. Maybe it was because people are more fragile when they are sick. He felt warm in his heart and held Mei Qian's hand: "Fortunately, you are with me." Mei Qian was stunned, smiled and shook her head: "If I don't accompany you, who will?" Zhou Ding exhaled, thought of those shareholders, and gritted his teeth in hatred: "These people, wait until I get better, and see how I deal with them!" Mei Qian didn't say anything, with some worry in her eyes. Zhou Ding naturally noticed it and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my body?" This is what Zhou Ding is most worried about. Other things are not important. He actually feels a little strange. He is usually in good health. He had a physical examination before and no problems were found. How could he faint for no reason? He couldn't figure it out, so he could only attribute the reason for fainting to anger. After all, those shareholders are really annoying! As a result, Mei Qian's expression scared Zhou Ding a lot. He was afraid that there was something wrong with his body. He was afraid of death! "No, no, the doctor said you need to rest for a while and can't be stimulated, otherwise you may have a stroke." Mei Qian said: "You'd better not meet those shareholders recently." Zhou Ding heard it and was a little unbelievable. He was only in his fifties. What if he had a stroke! Those who had a stroke had crooked mouths and slanted eyes at the mildest, and could only be paralyzed in bed and live without dignity at the worst. No matter which one it was, Zhou Ding could not accept it. The more Zhou Ding thought about it, the darker his face became. He decided in his heart that he would not meet those annoying shareholders during this period! Mei Qian knew what he was thinking when she saw his expression. She smiled and said, "Just take care of yourself. Come, try the apples I peeled." Zhou Ding was deeply moved. He felt that a friend in need is a friend indeed. At this time, only Mei Qian was still by his side. In this way, Zhou Ding rested peacefully for two days, but the shareholders became restless again and insisted on coming to see him. Zhou Ding was a little hesitant at first, but thinking that there was nothing wrong with his body in the past two days, the doctor's words were a bit alarmist. So, he thought about it and decided to let the shareholders come to the hospital to see him, so that these people would not spread rumors again. Don't think he doesn't know, these people are secretly spreading that he is dying, how can this be possible! As soon as Zhou Ding agreed to meet, the group of shareholders came immediately. This group of people were really beasts. Seeing that he was sick, they spoke ruthlessly and forced him to sell his shares. Zhou Ding tried hard to hold it in, but he still couldn't help it. He got angry and fainted on the spot. Shareholders: "..." No, how could she become Lin Daiyu out of nowhere? They couldn't say anything. They could only leave. When Zhou Ding woke up, he found that the corners of his mouth were a little out of control. His face changed immediately: "Why...what's going on!" He couldn't speak as fluently as before! Mei Qian cried and said, "I told you not to see them. Fortunately, the situation is not serious this time." Then, Zhou Ding learned that he had a stroke. He was not feeling well. He was a very proud person. He couldn't stand the thought that his mouth would twitch uncontrollably when he spoke in the future. He even suspected that the group of shareholders came here on purpose to anger him and paralyze him so that he could deal with them better. It must be like this! Zhou Ding was so angry that he tried to calm his breathing, fearing that the situation would get worse again. "I... won't see... them for the time being." Zhou Ding said slowly. Mei Qian nodded. A few days passed like this, and Zhou Ding obviously found that Mei Qian looked much more haggard. He asked her what was wrong, but Mei Qian didn't say anything, just said: "I've been worried about your condition recently, and I can't sleep." When people are sick, their emotions will be a little fragile. Zhou Ding was very moved when he heard Mei Qian say this. Zhou Yuwen grumbled unhappily: "My mother is not worried about the problem of not being able to sleep well, she is just angry!" Mei Qian hurriedly said: "Yuwen, your father's condition, what are you talking about?" Zhou Yuwen glanced at Zhou Ding after hearing this, and finally shut up. Zhou Ding felt that the mother and son seemed to be hiding something from him, and asked: "What happened?" Zhou Yuwen lowered his head and didn't look at him, just said: "Dad, just have a good rest, don't worry about anything else, it's nothing."
Mei Qian also smiled and said, "What can it be? You should take care of yourself first, and we can talk about other things later."
The more they did this, the more Zhou Ding felt that there must be something hidden from him, but no matter how he asked, the two of them changed the subject and talked about the random reply.
And people are like this, the less you say, the more curious they are, and the more they want to know what happened, so Zhou Ding is now very anxious.
But when he asked, the mother and son were silent, and the other was hesitant to speak, which made him very anxious.
After suffering for a long time, when Mei Qian left, Zhou Ding finally couldn't help it and asked Zhou Yuwen: "Tell me, what happened?"
Zhou Yuwen was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, and shook his head: "Dad, it's nothing, you just focus on recuperating, it's not too late to talk about everything after you recover."
"I know your mother doesn't let you say it." Zhou Ding said while paying attention to the situation outside the ward: "She's not here now, just tell me."
Zhou Yuwen seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still said nothing.
Zhou Ding had no choice but to say, "Instead of letting me guess in my heart, it's better to say it directly, otherwise I will worry more."
Zhou Yuwen clenched his fingers and finally couldn't help but speak: "Dad, it's still the shareholders on the board of directors."
Zhou Ding frowned when he heard it: "What are they doing again?"
Zhou Yuwen mentioned this and looked very angry: "It's still,... now they want to force my mother to persuade you to sell those shares."
"Humph! This group of people really won't give up now!" Zhou Ding slapped the bed hard, trying to calm down his emotions and not be too angry.
"Dad, don't worry, my mother is not stupid, she will never agree to such a thing." Zhou Yuwen comforted him again.
Hearing this, Zhou Ding's expression really eased a lot, and he praised: "Yes, your mother did the right thing, you must not sell these shares."
Zhou Yuwen didn't say anything, frowned, and continued: "But I don't know if it's because my mother didn't agree to them, I feel... they have started to have other actions recently."
"What actions?" Zhou Ding's heart tightened, and his mind began to try hard to recall what trump cards the shareholders had in their hands that could threaten him.
But after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out.
Zhou Yuwen also shook his head: "The other party did a good job of keeping confidentiality, and I didn't find out anything."
Zhou Ding frowned: "No, no, I have to be discharged from the hospital."
Before he finished speaking, Mei Qian hurried in. When she heard that Zhou Ding was going to be discharged, she immediately became anxious: "Why are you leaving the hospital for no reason? The doctor has told you to rest for a while."
Zhou Ding's face was not very good. When he thought about those shareholders joining forces to mess with him, he realized that there was no point in him resting!
Seeing that Zhou Ding's persuasion was useless, Mei Qian said, "The doctor said that although you have no problem with your health recently, if you are discharged suddenly, the stroke may happen again."
Zhou Ding paused when he heard this. This matter really made him hesitate. His recent mouth twitching problem has finally improved a little. He knows how uncomfortable a stroke feels. Most importantly, it affects his dignity too much!
"Hey, you should have a good rest and don't worry so much." Mei Qian saw that he was still and her expression eased.
Zhou Ding was about to say how he could not be worried, but Zhou Yuwen at the side said first: "Mom, it's not that Dad has to be hospitalized, it's mainly because you see how those shareholders are making a fuss. If this matter is not resolved, my dad will definitely not be able to stay in the hospital with peace of mind."
Zhou Ding nodded in his heart. Even though he was in the hospital now, he was still worried. The unknown actions of those shareholders made him even more worried.
Mei Qian didn't say anything for a while after hearing this.
Zhou Yuwen said: "Mom and Dad, I actually have a way to make them settle down."
When he said this, Zhou Ding and Mei Qian looked at him at the same time.
Zhou Yuwen continued: "Why don't we take advantage of the situation and sell some of the shares."
"No!" Without waiting for Zhou Ding to frown, Mei Qian immediately said: "Those shares must not be moved, forget it."
Zhou Ding nodded: "Yes, the shares must be held in hand. The crisis is only temporary. If I really sell the shares for such a small matter, even if the company stabilizes in the future, my position will be greatly affected."
Zhou Ding was a little disappointed. He thought Zhou Yuwen had some good solution.
"No, both of you listen to me." Zhou Yuwen said helplessly: "I haven't said it yet. We can sell the shares, but we are the sellers. We have the final say on who to sell to. We sell it ourselves and buy it back ourselves. It's a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other."
Zhou Yuwen meant that he would use the Zhou family's own money to fill the hole in Zhou's company.
In fact, this is a good idea. Losing some money will stabilize his position again. The money will be earned back sooner or later.
However, Zhou Ding glanced at Zhou Yuwen and did not agree with his idea. Mei
Qian even said: "This method won't work."
"Why?" Zhou Yuwen said puzzledly.
Why could it be? Family members know their own affairs. Zhou Ding knows very well. Where can he come up with so much money?
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Zhou Yuwen seemed to understand. He thought for a moment and said, "Actually... there is a way for us not to pay."
Zhou Ding looked at Zhou Yuwen again: "What is the way?"
"If we don't pay, we can let people who are closer to us pay." Zhou Yuwen said, "My uncles and others, I guess they should have some money in their hands." Zhou Yuwen was
talking about Mei Qian's mother's family. Before Mei Qian married into the Zhou family, she was just an ordinary family, but after all, she married into the Zhou family, so she would definitely help her mother's family a little. Therefore, the Mei family has gained a lot of benefits from following the Zhou family over the years. Zhou Ding is still a little dissatisfied with this.
At this time, Zhou Ding heard Zhou Yuwen's words, his eyelids twitched, and he didn't say anything, but he looked at Mei Qian, obviously a little moved.
He felt that the Zhou family had helped the Mei family so much over the years, and it was time for them to make some contributions.
As for getting those shares, would they dare to mess around? Zhou Ding was not worried at all. The Mei family did not have that courage, especially Mei Qian's brothers, who were all very scared.
Moreover, they were not stupid. They should be able to distinguish between Yidunmang and Dundunmang. If they really betrayed him for those shares, he would have plenty of ways to punish them. Don't say he didn't care about their friendship!
The shares would be temporarily with them, and when he got through the crisis, he could buy them back. He could even get them back without spending any money.
This is no different from transferring money from the left hand to the right hand.
But it is useless to think about these things now. It depends on whether Mei Qian agrees and helps. Thinking of this, Zhou Ding looked at Mei Qian again.
"This..." Mei Qian seemed a little hesitant.
Zhou Ding was a little dissatisfied in his heart: "Why, are you still afraid that I will let your brothers suffer losses?"
Mei Qian shook her head: "That's not what I mean. I'm afraid... my brothers will be restless."
Zhou Ding was also a little hesitant when he heard this. Although those people were scared, what if?
However, he quickly dispelled this worry. Compared with those shareholders who were eyeing him covetously, Mei Qian's brothers were nothing to be afraid of.
But it's definitely not the right thing to say. Zhou Ding said, "Over the years, I've had a lot of contact with your brother and his friends. Although they have some minor problems, they won't do irrational things when faced with major issues."
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Mei Qian gritted her teeth and seemed to have made a decision: "After all, we are a family. I will definitely find a way to get them to agree."
Hearing him say this, Zhou Ding really smiled with satisfaction and said, "You should discuss it with them. When this crisis is over, they will definitely benefit."
Anyway, it's just a big deal, so he just said it.
As if he felt that the matter was resolved, Zhou Ding was in a good mood. He almost hummed a song and praised Zhou Yuwen: "Not bad, you have the style of me in my old days."
Zhou Yuwen smiled and seemed to be very happy. He was really happy.
Mei Qian discussed with her brothers for several days and finally convinced them. Before signing the contract, her brothers kept muttering: "Will you really give us the money?"
Zhou Ding was annoyed, but he still said patiently: "What are you afraid of? It's just a small amount of money. Can I give you less?"
Mei Qian's brothers grinned. What do you mean by such a small amount of money? They have never seen such a small amount of money!
Just like that, the share transfer contract was signed. Mei Qian held the contract and looked at Zhou Yuwen.
After leaving the ward, Mei Qian's brothers wiped the sweat from their heads: "Next time, don't call us for this matter, we scared us."
Mei Qian frowned: "You are too timid, it's just a small matter."
"Mom, don't say so much, sign a new transfer contract." Zhou Yuwen reminded, he is not as careless as Zhou Dingxin, in order to avoid long dreams, the shares must be transferred to his name, he can feel at ease.
After all, that money is all the savings of him and his mother, he also tried to raise some.
That's right, the money for buying shares was not actually paid by Mei Qian's brothers. Although these people have made a lot of money over the years, they also squandered it quickly. Where can they come up with so much money?
This was just a trap set up for Zhou Ding. The shares actually went to Zhou Yuwen.
Thinking of the day when he secretly overheard Zhou Ding calling Jiang Yiqing, the other party actually took the initiative to say that he wanted to take Jiang Yiqing back. At that moment, Zhou Yuwen secretly hated Zhou Ding, and the last bit of trust in Zhou Ding completely disappeared.
He knew clearly that he had to find a way to fight for him. If he didn't fight, these things would never come to him in the future.
Don't say that he doesn't care about the father-son relationship. It's Zhou Ding who doesn't care about these things first.
"Tell me, are you tired after a day?" Mei Qian's brothers complained, then looked at their nephew, rubbed their hands and said, "Yuwen, the benefits you mentioned before..."
Zhou Yuwen looked down on his uncles, he lowered his eyes to hide his impatience: "Don't worry, after signing the contract, the money will be transferred to your cards, but don't tell anyone about what happened today, not even my aunt and them. If you tell it and something happens, don't blame me for not considering family ties."
Mei Qian's brothers looked at each other. Although they felt uncomfortable being said that by their nephew, they could only nod for the sake of the money.
Mei Qian said, "Yuwen is afraid that you won't take it seriously. If anything happens, don't take it personally."
The two of them played the good cop and the bad cop, and they managed to appease these people.
After signing the transfer contract, Zhou Yuwen looked at the contents of the contract and slowly curled his lips.
——
Jiang Yiqing didn't know what kind of turmoil the Zhou family had in the past few days. He and Wen Xiuyan made an appointment to meet at the restaurant.
This restaurant was recommended by Miaomiao. Miaomiao had been a pet cat for a while before. The family that raised her was quite rich. She was brave, so they liked to take her with them every time they went out. As time went by, Miaomiao had actually been to many high-end restaurants.
However, she did not think this was something to be happy about, because even if she could enter these restaurants, she could only smell the food because she was a cat, which was really uncomfortable for her.
Every time she had to act coquettishly for a long time, her owner at that time would be soft-hearted and feed her a little bit, and it was rinsed with clean water. Even so, Miaomiao always remembered this delicious food and never forgot it.
Unfortunately, she ran away secretly because she was not free as a domestic cat. After that, she didn't even have the opportunity to enter high-end restaurants to smell the food. It was really miserable.
In short, she recommended the most delicious restaurant in her memory.
It must be said that Miaomiao's previous owner was indeed very rich. Jiang Yiqing searched the name of the restaurant and took a breath of cool air after seeing the price above.
But in the end, she still booked this restaurant.
After Wen Xiuyan got the address, he raised his eyebrows slightly. The price of this restaurant... I don't know how distressed Yiqing was.
Wen Xiuyan seemed to see the young man's wrinkled face and couldn't help but smile.
But since it was already booked, he didn't say anything.
Jiang Yiqing was only distressed for a moment, and soon put it behind his mind. He was like this. He might feel distressed when spending money, but it didn't matter after the money was spent. After all, it was no longer his, so it was useless to feel distressed.
Just after they sat down, Wen Xiuyan also came. Jiang Yiqing asked him to order the dishes. He didn't hesitate to order the dishes and said, "You should like these."
Jiang Yiqing propped up his chin and raised his eyebrows when he heard it: "You seem to know my taste well, huh?"
Wen Xiuyan lowered his eyes and smiled: "Yeah, I know it well."
Jiang Yiqing couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Wen, why are you not humble at all?"
Wen Xiuyan followed suit: "There is no need to be humble about this matter."
Jiang Yiqing always felt that he had something else to say, so he simply skipped the topic and raised his hand to shake it: "By the way, your bracelet is not an ordinary black gold wood."
Wen Xiuyan raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had just found out.
Seeing this, Jiang Yiqing told him what happened before. When he heard that Mingquan had taken direct action, Wen Xiuyan frowned, but when he heard that the other party was fine, he relaxed his brows: "I'm glad that he's fine."
Jiang Yiqing was speechless: "Didn't you understand what I said? You gave me this bracelet, which is a priceless magic weapon."
Wen Xiuyan smiled: "Isn't that great."
Jiang Yiqing: "?"
Wen Xiuyan took a sip of water, and a smile appeared on his handsome face, as if he was very happy: "I was worried that this gift was not worthy of Yiqing, after all, it was just a vulgar thing, but now I'm relieved."
Jiang Yiqing: "..."
He had thought that Wen Xiuyan would be surprised, or have other emotions, but he never thought that the other party would react like this.
Jiang Yiqing was speechless for a moment. This man was really... He couldn't tell what he felt at the moment. Seeing Xiu Yan looking at him, he coughed lightly, lowered his head in a panic, took a bite of the food, and said vaguely, "You are really generous."
