After learning about the situation from Jiang Jianian, Ji Shuli still found an opportunity to find Ye Qingcheng.
After receiving Ji Shuli's call, Ye Qingcheng did not go to the research institute that day but rested at home. When Ji Shuli came in, Ye Qingcheng nodded slightly and smiled as he asked Ji Shuli to follow him to his study.
Ji Shuli got straight to the point, "Uncle, I won't beat around the bush with you. I've basically learned everything from Jiang Jianian. I think what you should do now is go to the hospital for chemotherapy rather than continue with any clinical trials."
Compared to Ji Shuli's anxiety, Ye Qingcheng sat in the study without rushing to answer Ji Shuli. He began to use a brush to write the calligraphy he hadn't finished before, looking like he was cultivating his mind and body. This made Ji Shuli, who thought Ye Qingcheng hadn't listened to her, even more anxious.
Seeing that Ji Shuli was restless, Ye Qingcheng stopped him and continued to maintain a calm and composed demeanor. After finishing his writing, he asked Ji Shuli, "What do you think of my calligraphy?"
Ji Shuli looked at Ye Qingcheng without saying a word.
Seeing Ji Shuli like this, Ye Qingcheng sighed after a long while.
"I'm doing well now. Xiao Jiang's treatment might not be as effective, but it doesn't have many side effects. There might be some, but they're negligible compared to the pain the disease brings me. But Shu Li, if I go to the hospital for chemotherapy, it might not completely cure my disease, but I'll have to endure a lot of pain from it. I can't work, I'll have to watch the company fall into chaos, Zhi Wei will be distracted from her studies because of me, but she won't say a word to avoid worrying me. I'll be weak from chemotherapy and need to lie in the hospital for years. My hair will fall out, my body will become increasingly uncomfortable, and I can only lie in bed waiting for a matching bone marrow transplant. But even if there is a matching transplant, I'll have to worry about rejection after the transplant—" Ye Qingcheng continued heavily, "I'll live day after day waiting for death. My daughter will be overwhelmed by the company I left behind, those old foxes in the company will fight for their own interests, and my hard work will be severely damaged by my sudden death. I can't do anything; I can only become a burden."
Ji Shuli said angrily, "It's not a burden, how could it be a burden? If you can't manage, I will help, Jiang Jianian will be happy to help, and the company's board of directors and senior management will also hope that the company will improve. It can still operate very well. It has reached such a high level and will not go bankrupt just because you are sick and away for a while. It is already running very well! You will not be alone in the hospital waiting to die day after day. Zhiwei will be with you..."
"What's the point of her staying with me? She should be studying hard at school, she should be having a good relationship, she should be doing what she wants to do, instead of staying in the hospital with an old man like me who is about to die." Ye Qingcheng shook his head and said helplessly, "If I really leave one day, I hope that I will have everything arranged, dressed neatly and quietly going to my death, instead of lying in the hospital and making a mess of things."
Ji Shuli remained silent, while Ye Qingcheng continued with a smile, "I've arranged everything. Xiao Jiang has already started getting familiar with the company. It might be difficult at first; people may not be able to accept a college freshman suddenly participating in the company's decision-making. I'll guide him slowly. He's very capable, and his perspective on problems is very different from others. He's already helping with a project. With me here, no one will have any objections to him. I'll guide him gradually, teaching him how to get started. Soon, I'll give him a portion of the shares and convene another shareholders' meeting..."
Ye Qingcheng concealed his illness in order to allow Jiang Jianian to enter the company's management team ahead of time, so as to avoid affecting the company's normal operations after learning of his sudden accident.
This is an extremely difficult task. The Ye Group has always had a very good public image. Apart from the internal operations, Ye Qingcheng has always been the face of the Ye Group. Many people do not understand chip technology. The reason why they buy a lot of shares in the Ye Group and trust the production companies that cooperate with the Ye Group is because they trust Ye Qingcheng.
Ye Qingcheng's serious illness and inability to continue serving as the company's CEO will inevitably cause stock market fluctuations, and some investors will want to withdraw their shares due to concerns about their funding.
The company has many senior executives who joined the Ye Group to take over the shares from their elders and fought alongside the Ye Group when it needed them most. This group of people did work together to rebuild the Ye Group into a leading technology company when everyone was going through hardships. But now these senior executives also have their own ambitions. They are getting old, and some of them are only thinking about their own immediate interests rather than the future development of the company. It's good that Ye Qingcheng is here, but if he is not, it will inevitably cause instability in the company.
Ye Qingcheng did not want the decline of the Ye Group to begin with his illness.
Ye Qingcheng stared blankly at the words in his hand, looking much more weathered as he sat down.
Ji Shuli remained silent for a long time before finally agreeing to cooperate with Ye Qingcheng in keeping the secret for the time being. He could only ask Jiang Jianian to find the best way to stabilize Ye Qingcheng's condition.
Aside from company matters and graduation-related issues, Ji Shuli often went to the research institute. However, today, after Ye Qingcheng finished his treatment, he inexplicably fainted on the ground.
Even knowing that the coma might be caused by anemia symptoms due to leukemia, Ji Shuli could no longer hold back. Ignoring objections, he insisted on taking Ye Qingcheng to the hospital.
He hurriedly took Ye Qingcheng to a nearby hospital for examination.
When Ye Qingcheng woke up again, Ji Shuli said firmly, "Uncle, you must take leave for the next few days. You can go to work or keep it from your little cousin, but you must wait for a full check-up and rest in the hospital for a few days."
Ji Shuli's unusual firmness forced Ye Qingcheng to accept it, but his own increasingly fragile health made Ye Qingcheng feel more and more frustrated. In the afternoon, Ye Qingcheng dismissed all the caregivers and took advantage of Ji Shuli's absence to go out of the hospital to clear his mind. He happened to pass by a nearby undergraduate university, which had a nice environment, so he went in to walk around and look at it. When he sat on a wooden bench, he found that there was a patient next to him who was resting with his eyes closed.
Ye Qingcheng asked with a smile, "Did you get too bored in the hospital and come out for a walk?"
The middle-aged man in his forties finally opened his eyes and glanced at Ye Qingcheng. After a long while, his eyes reddened and he shook his head repeatedly. He had been diagnosed with a serious illness and knew that the hospital he was in was the best in the province. His family had sold their house and borrowed money to get him into this hospital. He had already undergone chemotherapy for two years, and now he was struggling to raise money for medical expenses. The man was overwhelmed by the pressure of money. He just wanted to take one last look at this world before deciding to die.
Looking at the man beside him who looked wealthy, he felt even more desperate, hating himself for being born into poverty and having his family ruined before he could even make a name for himself.
Seeing that his expression was off, Ye Qingcheng wisely refrained from asking any further questions and sat quietly on the wooden chair to rest until the middle-aged man couldn't help but bring up his situation to Ye Qingcheng.

Ye Zhiwei was completely unaware of Ye Qingcheng's hospitalization. She was currently busy preparing for her upcoming final exams. Yanda University had suspended classes and arranged for students to study on their own for a month before the final exams.
Unable to stay in the library any longer, Ye Zhiwei and her little fan decided to go to a nearby coffee shop to sit down, order a cup of coffee, and continue studying.
When they reached the coffee shop on the other side of the road, the young fan was about to cross the street when Ye Zhiwei grabbed her arm and solemnly reminded her, "Don't just cross the road recklessly for a few steps. You still have to use the crosswalk properly. If there's a car accident, the driver will be fully responsible, and then we can claim higher compensation."
The young fan suddenly realized and couldn't help but nod repeatedly, "How could I have forgotten this? Sister Wei, you're so thoughtful."
Ye Zhiwei smiled without saying a word. In fact, the experience of handling tort cases such as motor vehicle traffic accidents during her internship in her previous life had left a very deep impression on her. She carefully led her little fan girl across the zebra crossing. For some reason, her eyelids had been twitching lately, and she felt a little uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen. This made her more careful than before.
