Chapter 382 Old Master Qin is ill
"What can you do to spare his life?" she continued talking to Jiang Ruan.
“If we could turn back time, he wouldn’t have done those things to me when I left the Qin family,” Jiang Ruan gave her the answer. “If you can do that, I’ll spare his life.”
The hope in Yu Jiao's eyes shattered instantly.
Mo Mo took her away.
The reception room immediately fell silent.
Jiang Ruan sat there rubbing her temples, feeling a bit confused.
So much had happened during this time that she felt she had overlooked something important.
"Should we tell the front desk that people without appointments shouldn't be allowed in from now on?" Mo Mo pondered this question after seeing the person off. "What if people from the Li family come every day?"
“No need, they’re not that free,” Jiang Ruan said.
The Li family is one of the four major families in Haicheng, and they wouldn't stoop to coming here every day.
Someone just needs to come and fill out the registration form.
Fortunately, no one bothered her for the rest of the day.
Near the end of the workday, the product manager came to her and told her about the work arrangements for the rest of the month: "I have already asked the team leaders to break down the work and assign it to each group. We should be able to finish the basic modules this month. Here is the schedule for you to take a look at."
Jiang Ruan read it carefully.
Each system is clearly divided into smaller modules, and the coordination between groups is also very detailed.
"Just do it this way." Jiang Ruan handed it to him. "I won't be coming to the company for a while. Call me anytime if you need anything."
The product manager agreed very quickly.
After the conversation, Jiang Ruan went back.
The medical rehabilitation project was merely a performance evaluation task for her to reclaim her mother's shares. What she truly needed to address was the Qin Group and how to manage those shares after they were bought back.
Some time ago, she memorized the size of the Qin Group and the information of its key figures, became familiar with the division of industries and operating models under the Qin Group, and also learned about the situation of its major subsidiaries.
Now she has to learn to be a manager.
Two buzzing sounds.
My phone rang.
Jiang Ruan opened the app and saw a message from Huo Sinian: [Zhizhou is home.]
Jiang Ruan unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone, and Huo Zhizhou's image uncontrollably appeared in her mind.
"What's wrong?" Tang Bai noticed through the rearview mirror that she seemed a bit off.
"Nothing much." Jiang Ruan turned off her phone screen, no longer paying attention to those things. "Just a spam text message."
Tang Bai and Mo Mo exchanged a glance.
Both of them knew that this news was not simple.
Five minutes later.
Jiang Ruan's phone lit up again.
This time, the person who sent the message was Huo Zhizhou, and it was just two very short messages.
I have arrived in Jingzhou.
Don't worry, I can handle it.
Jiang Ruan stared at the message for several seconds, until the screen went dark, before she tapped the edit box and replied with a single word: 【Okay.】
Huo Zhizhou sent her a cute emoji.
Jiang Ruan pursed her red lips slightly.
After much consideration, I finally told him, "Take care."
When Jiang Ruan arrived home, Huo Zhizhou had already finished washing up and gone to bed. Instead of going to the old house immediately, he stayed in his newly bought house.
Huo Sinian, who had been waiting for a long time but had not seen Huo Zhizhou come out, couldn't help but wonder. Based on his understanding of Huo Zhizhou, shouldn't he have gone to the old house to ask his father immediately after learning about this?
Why are you resting now?
"Should we tell your father about the Second Young Master's return?" the secretary asked.
"No need." Huo Sinian didn't want to push Huo Zhizhou too hard, in case he angered him and might drag him down with him. "Wait until he has time."
His younger brother has never played by the rules since he was a child.
Many times, people couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
Just like now.
He didn't know what had stopped him from taking his own life and confronting his father about what had happened as soon as he got back.
"Should we take any measures regarding Jiang Ruan?" The secretary knew the task Huo Cheng had given Huo Sinian and naturally wanted to share his burden. "It just so happens that the Second Young Master is not in Jingzhou, and Assistant Jiang and the others have also returned."
Huo Sinian pinched the bridge of his nose: "Don't touch her for now."
Huo Zhizhou's return will inevitably lead to a falling out with his father. At that point, his father's attention will turn to his own interests and the entire family, and he won't be able to take care of Jiang Ruan in the short term.
In this way.
He will not be held accountable.
For the next two days, Huo Zhizhou went to work at Huo's Group as usual, without any extreme behavior or unusual actions, as if he had just returned from a business trip to Haicheng.
Until Friday.
As soon as Huo Zhizhou arrived at the Huo Group, Assistant Jiang reported to him: "Boss, your father asked me to tell you to come back to the old house for dinner tonight."
Huo Zhizhou replied calmly, "I understand."
Assistant Jiang asked, "Should we invite Lin Feng and Lin Bei along?"
"No need," Huo Zhizhou said. "It's just going back for a meal; it's not time for a proper meal yet."
After talking with Huo Sinian, he did have an urge to immediately return to Jingzhou to find Huo Cheng and ask him for clarification. If Huo Cheng didn't tell him, he would lock him up and interrogate him little by little.
But then he thought of Jiang Ruan.
I thought of Sui Sui.
He is no longer the carefree sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy he once was, and the Huo Group is no longer plagued by internal and external troubles. He must think carefully before acting to ensure everything is in order.
At the same time, Jiang Ruan also received an invitation from Old Master Qin.
Hearing the elderly person's concern over the phone, Jiang Ruan said that she had fully recovered.
"It's good that it's been restored." Old Master Qin was slightly relieved, his words revealing his undisguised concern. "I will have the Li family give an explanation for this matter. If they refuse to deal with Li Chengxuan, I will use my own methods to seek justice for you."
Jiang Ruan was in a very calm mood.
The different attitudes of the two elderly people made her realize the difference between genuine concern and feigned concern.
"Thank you for your kindness, but Mom and Huo Zhizhou have already negotiated with the Li family." Jiang Ruan didn't intend to involve the Qin family too much.
"They are them, and I am me." Old Master Qin's attitude was firm. "You will receive everything that is due to your maternal grandfather."
Jiang Ruan said thank you.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while...
Grandpa Qin called her: "Ruan Ruan".
Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"
"Do you have time tomorrow? I'd like to invite you to my home for a meal." Old Master Qin's words carried a hint of probing. "Don't worry, I'll send a convoy to pick you up, and I guarantee that what happened last time won't happen again."
"Tomorrow..." Jiang Ruan was about to say that she might not be available when she suddenly remembered something she had forgotten.
— Ask Si Ning to help investigate the matter of Mr. Qin's serious illness many years ago.
Seeing her pause, Old Master Qin didn't press her further: "It's alright, you go ahead with your work."
Qin Mo glanced at him.
They clearly don't want it, but they're still pretending.
Old Master Qin noticed his gaze and gave him a look, signaling him not to say anything out of line.
"I have something to do tomorrow that will take me a while..." Jiang Ruan did indeed have something to do tomorrow.
Qin Mo asked the family doctor next to him, "Is there any left after this IV drip?"
Doctor: "There are two more bottles."
Old Master Qin: "???"
Old Master Qin hurriedly covered the microphone, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Qin Mo, as if he wanted to devour him alive: "I told you to shut up!"
