Ye Linyan called Yang Zhao early on and briefly told him about Xu Nuo's drug addiction.
He hoped he could have one more time before the promise of addiction kicked in.
Yang Zhao agreed with Ye Linyan's opinion. He felt that in addition to drug addiction, Xu Nuo also had serious psychological depression. If he could help him take another step forward, it might also help him quit drugs.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Linyan sat at her desk, her heart pounding with anxiety...
Last night he wished he wouldn't have to come today; now, he wishes he could skip today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...
"Ye Linyan, come out here!"
A door slammed shut downstairs, followed by a man's shout.
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Linyan hurriedly came out of the study. He first gestured to Wang Jinfeng downstairs to be quiet before walking to the bedroom door. He gently opened it a crack and saw that Xu Nuo was still asleep in bed. Only then did he feel relieved!
"What are you shouting for?"
Ye Linyan tried to walk as quietly as possible. Although the villa was very soundproof, he was still afraid of waking Xu Nuo.
"Keep your voice down."
"Why did I whisper? Is that promise right here? I think he's not only bewitched you, but he's also stolen your mind and heart!"
With his messy, wet hair and a suit jacket soaked by the rain in his hand, Wang Jinfeng stood in the middle of the living room and yelled at Ye Linyan.
"I'll say it again, keep your voice down. If you have something to say, go to the study."
As Ye Linyan spoke, she reached out to pull Wang Jinfeng, who was clearly already angry, and tried to take him to the study on the first floor.
"To hell with the study! Ye Linyan! Wake up! Do you know how busy the company is right now? Do you know how much work is waiting for you to do!"
Wang Jinfeng flung Ye Linyan's hand away and continued shouting:
"In another six months, or maybe even less, you won't be 'President Ye' anymore; people will be calling you 'Chairman Ye'! Do you even understand your place?"
"Okay, I know! All I'm doing is asking for a month's leave! Can't you cover for me? I've given you the authority! What are you afraid of!"
Ye Linyan also got angry. He had made a decision last night: he would stay with Xu Nuo for the next month. It was the only thing he could do!
He couldn't leave Xu Nuo here to suffer alone. Since he couldn't suffer for him, he couldn't let him face it alone!
"I'll take your place! But do you want me to give you my seat too?"
Wang Jinfeng scratched his head and continued, "Even if you give me your seat right now, where the hell am I supposed to find a vice president like me! Tell me!"
"Jinfeng, I'm giving you the greatest authority. You can make decisions for me in any way. Just don't contact me for the next month! I know you're working hard and under a lot of pressure! I'll give you more shares than you already have!"
Ye Linyan said, letting out a long breath:
"Go back and draft a contract yourself, then bring it to me for my signature!"
Looking at Wang Jinfeng, Ye Linyan continued, "You've worked hard all these years! You deserve it all!"
Wang Jinfeng was stunned for a long time, then chuckled a few times, looked at Ye Linyan, and asked very seriously:
"Ye Linyan, do you know what situation the company is in right now? Are you going to abandon it all? You're giving up on a promise, a promise that could make this huge company ten or even a hundred times better than it is now!"
"Ye Linyan, this is a business empire you built from scratch, and you just casually put it aside with a single sentence?"
Wang Jinfeng shook his head and said, "I think you've gone crazy!"
Ye Linyan stood in front of Wang Jinfeng and said frankly, "It's not that I don't want him anymore, I just need this month, at most six months. I really can't leave him now!"
"Since you say you're not abandoning the company, don't you understand that the company can't function without you? Even if you give me more power, I'll only be your vice president to outsiders; I can't replace you! Don't you understand this principle?"
Seeing Ye Linyan's stubborn gaze, Wang Jinfeng finally said helplessly:
"Ye Linyan, I'll ask you one last time, do you want the company, or do you want the promise!"
"A promise must be made!"
Ye Linyan looked at Wang Jinfeng and answered without hesitation.
Wang Jinfeng stared blankly at Ye Linyan for a long time, and finally, without saying anything, turned around and left.
Ye Linyan watched Wang Jinfeng's departing figure and the minute before turning back.
——————————————————————
In recent months, Xu Nuo has often slept until the afternoon, and even if she wakes up in the morning, she will fall asleep again in a short time.
But today, Xu Nuo woke up very early and wasn't sleepy at all!
He heard Wang Jinfeng's voice, but he didn't want to move.
The moment Ye Linyan opened the door, Xu Nuo closed her eyes.
Only after hearing Ye Linyan come downstairs did Xu Nuo pick up her bathrobe from the floor and put it on. Barefoot, she gently opened the bedroom door and stood at the corner of the second-floor railing, listening to their conversation.
Upon hearing Ye Linyan's words, "You must make a promise!"
Xu Nuo felt completely unwell, as if his heart had been ripped out, and he almost couldn't stand up. If he hadn't been leaning against the wall, he definitely wouldn't have been able to stand.
After Wang Jinfeng left, Ye Linyan went into the study on the first floor.
Xu Nuo then walked out from around the corner with slightly trembling steps, steadied herself by holding onto the railing, and looked at the empty living room on the first floor.
A sudden clap of thunder echoed in the sky outside, and Xu Nuo's hand, which was gripping the railing, trembled...
In an instant, many scenes and images flooded into Xu Nuo's mind like a bursting river.
Memories flooded back: he had picked up that vase and smashed it hard against Ye Linyan.
After kicking Ye Linyan to the ground, he even tried to kill him with a stool!
If it weren't for Wang Mingwu's shout, Xu Nuo was certain that he would have smashed that stool down!
Xu Nuo stumbled back to her bedroom, slammed the door shut, and slumped against it, collapsing to the floor...
The images in her mind flashed by frame by frame, as if playing in reverse. Xu Nuo could feel that she had completely lost her mind and control at that moment...
He didn't even recognize Ye Linyan anymore!
This isn't the first time this has happened. Xu Nuo couldn't be clearer: this isn't the first time, and it won't be the last!
Xu Nuo clutched her chest, breathing heavily...
It wasn't just the medication; Xu Nuo had already discovered that even when she wasn't taking it, she frequently experienced hallucinations and auditory hallucinations...
In recent months, I've often found myself unable to control my emotions...
Yesterday, the psychologist named Yang Zhao came by, and Xu Nuo understood immediately—he had become abnormal..................
