In the morning, Shi Ran came to the bedroom with the medicine and snacks that grandpa wanted to take.
"My beloved granddaughter is here."
Grandpa greeted Shi Ran warmly as always.
"How are you feeling today, Grandpa?"
"Grandpa is fine. How about Shi Ran? Is the injury okay? Does it still hurt?"
"Shi Ran is feeling much better now. In a few days, the bruises will be gone and the pain won't be felt anymore."
"That's a blessing."
Grandpa touched Shi Ran’s head and said.
"But what's going on so early this morning?"
Although he has been visiting him every day lately, he usually comes at noon, so grandpa seems to be very worried about what might happen.
The reason to start in the morning is simple.
Last night, the teacher found Dad and told him how to distinguish fake checks. Shi Ran thought that although Dad's character was a bit soft, he would not delay such an important matter.
But I can’t tell grandpa now.
Shi Ran smiled and said, "Today I just want to see grandpa as soon as possible!"
He is a master of lying without blushing or getting nervous.
"Really? Hahaha..."
Grandpa laughed heartily again.
But then I heard a knock on the door outside.
【It’s finally here.】
Shi Ran thought so and ran out of the door. Before her grandfather could speak, she had already opened the door.
"Who are you...huh?"
The person outside the door is not Shi Ran's father
When the door opened, there were five men of different ages standing there.
They probably didn't expect to see Shi Ran, and their eyes widened.
"Ms. Tokizen...is that so?"
"Yeah." Shi Ran greeted respectfully, holding the hem of her skirt. "Nice to meet you."
The people standing at the door were the heads of various fields of the Shi family, including the bank manager.
Shi Ran looked up and saw that they were holding a box in their hands. It looked like it was something heavy, as if it was a gift for visiting a patient.
Shi Ran looked like he knew nothing and turned to look at his grandfather.
"Come in, everyone."
Grandpa said something, and several people walked in.
Shi Ran followed slowly behind him and finally stood beside his grandfather's bed.
Although their appearance was somewhat unexpected, Shi Ran felt that it was not a bad thing.
"What are you holding in your hands?"
Grandpa also saw what they were holding at a glance.
“We brought some good things for the body.”
One of them said.
Then, they placed everything in their hands against the wall behind them.
"Come on, what else are you bringing?"
Grandpa also spoke politely.
“That’s what should be done.”
After saying this, everyone's eyes fell on Shi Ran.
Shi Ran instantly understood that they were going to discuss something important.
"Grandpa, Shi Ran is going out for a while."
She said it tactfully.
"Grandpa will end this conversation soon and ask you to come back."
“Okay, Grandpa.”
Shi Ran pretended to be very tactful and left the bedroom. When he left, he nodded to them, looking very polite.
It was not until the door closed quietly that Shi Ran felt their gazes disappear behind him.
Of course, I watched her walk out, and in fact, she secretly put one foot against the door, leaving a very small gap, and eavesdropped outside the door.
"What's up?"
Grandpa asked.
"that……"
Some people hesitated.
But the hesitation didn't last long.
"We have something to ask of you, Chairman, so we have all come to visit you."
"Please gather together..." Grandpa said with a hint of a smile. "Okay, I'll listen with all my heart. Tell me what you have to say."
"Chairman, I hope to reconsider the decision of the acting head."
This time it was a younger, gruffer voice.
"Reconsider?"
"Please reconsider your decision to let the Second Young Master serve as the acting head of the Shi family."
The room suddenly fell silent.
Although it didn't last long, it could be a disaster for them.
"Does everyone think so?"
Grandpa asked in a low voice.
“Other managers who were unable to be at the scene also felt the same way.”
"After the Second Young Master became the acting head, the business volume increased several times. There are many things about the work that I don't understand, and I need to explain them many times. It's too tiring."
"We're the same. Every time we have a meeting, we're on our phones. We say something once, but it's not understood, so we have to repeat it several times. It's really tiring."
"It's the same with every report. They don't respond to important matters at all, but keep pushing for unimportant matters."
Without crossing the line, they expressed their dissatisfaction frankly.
Grandpa, who was listening to them, asked.
"So what should I do?"
"We'll see what happens until the chairman returns."
“Will each household take care of things on its own?”
"Maybe this will be better."
Just as Shi Ran was eavesdropping, someone patted her shoulder, scaring her so much that she looked back.
"Why are you standing outside?"
It’s dad.
"Ah, because Grandpa..."
Shi Ran answered quickly, but because it was so sudden, he hadn't thought of a complete reason yet.
After a pause, he continued, "It seems like a few people are looking for Grandpa to discuss company matters."
"I see."
Shi Ran bit her lip.
【Did Dad see me eavesdropping? 】
Shi Ran was curious.
[You probably saw it, I think it's pretty obvious.]
"Dad, are you here to see Grandpa?"
