Chapter 282: Glued to Him
After leaving Liang Group, He Sang got in the car and called Li Zhen to inform her that he would not be going to the hospital in the afternoon.
"I'm moving to the confinement center tomorrow. Mingwei and the nurses will take care of me. You can go back to work at the theater." Li Zhen suddenly said something shocking. "You can live in Liang Chihui's Bixi Mansion. I've searched for pictures of the model room. My god, it's so luxurious! You're lucky. You can live in the luxury houses in Ji Province and pick up handsome men in Ji Province."
"I'm in my second brother's car." He Sang warned her, "Hang up first..."
Liang Chihui, who remained silent throughout the call, pressed the back of He Sang's hand to stop him from hanging up.
He looked ahead, clearly unsatisfied.
"After dinner? Going to his house?" Li Zhen looked forward to it. "I hope you marry Liang Lao Er. Being the wife of the chairman of the Liang Group is such an honor! You'll have endless money to spend. Zhonghai Group is from the provincial government, and it's a prestigious name, but it's not very cost-effective. I've also checked out the model rooms at Jinyue Mansion, and I don't like the Chinese style..."
He Sang groped the screen with his thumb and swiped the hang-up button.
She clutched the phone case so tightly that her nails turned white.
"You're always picking up handsome guys?" Liang Chihui tilted his head. "Are you talking about me?"
He Sang closed his eyes. "She misunderstood it herself. I never said that..."
He hummed.
The atmosphere in the carriage was hot and strange. Liang Chihui spoke again, "Being the wife of the chairman of the Liang Group, is that an honor?"
"Is it the chairman's honor?"
The man smiled, "Not bad."
He Sang said seriously, as if answering a question that had nothing to do with him. "Then the chairman's wife is also honored. Husband and wife share the same fate."
Liang Chihui fiddled with the seat belt buckle with his fingertips, "If I marry a wife, I will listen to her in everything."
He Sang stared at him, "Do you listen to your wife?"
"Why wouldn't you listen?" He said calmly, "I married my wife sincerely, so I'm naturally happy to take care of her."
The driver continued from the driver's seat, "The second young master is a wife-doting madman. If his wife wants the stars, he won't pick the moon. If she wants penguins in Antarctica, he won't give her bears in the Arctic."
"Your mouth is electrocuted." Liang Chihui's expression was sinister. "You're so long-winded."
He Sang's gaze shifted to the window, and he also looked at the other car window. No one spoke.
The car drove into Taoyuan. Liang Chihui got off first and adjusted his suit trousers on the steps. The fabric of this casual suit was thin, leaving shallow creases. He dusted it off and opened the car door on He Sang's side.
He Sang didn't expect him to be socializing in Taoyuan. He hesitated for a while and said, "People here know me."
Liang Chihui didn't move, his hands stuck on the car door.
She knew it was only a matter of time.
The company keeps a low profile because they are concerned that Liang Yanzhang is still unaware of the situation. The Liang Group's public relations department also needs to be prepared. For some news, it is better to spread it outside rather than inside. Doing public relations based on the trend of public opinion is the fastest way to quell the storm.
He Sang got out of the car and walked through the stone gate of Taoyuan. The manager hurriedly came to meet him, "Second Master Liang, you are ten minutes early. I am too lazy."
"It's okay." Liang Chihui took the disinfected hot towel to wipe his hands and threw it to the manager.
The manager looked past him, recognized He Sang, and was startled, "The Third Young Master's wife..."
"You like Taoyuan fish, don't you?" Liang Chihui interrupted the manager's question about "the Third Young Master's wife." He leaned over slightly and approached her. "Steamed?"
He Sang shook his head, "I'm not picky about food."
"Why do I remember you were picky about food?" He stretched out his arm, put his arm around her waist, stepped over the high threshold, and then let go.
Seeing this, the manager immediately changed his tone, "Ms. He, today's fish is fresh. The kitchen marinated it all morning to make it tasty."
He Sang smiled awkwardly, "Old rules."
The private room Liang Chihui booked was in Room 1, Area A, Taoyuan. The door faced a pond with a few unknown flowers floating on the water, giving off a subtle fragrance and creating ripples.
Chairman Zhang was already waiting at his seat.
After all, Zhang Dong had seen a lot of ups and downs. When he found out that the woman Liang Chihui brought was He Sang, he remained calm and said, "Mr. Liang, thank you for your kindness."
Immediately, he nodded towards He Sang, "Miss He."
"It was Director Zhang who gave me honor." Liang Chihui was also polite. He moved the chair away, and after He Sang sat down, he sat next to him.
"The Liang Group was originally sure to win, and the Zhang Group was able to take advantage of the situation thanks to your mother." Director Zhang spoke vaguely, "How is she? I tried to contact her, but she kept avoiding me."
Because of that past, Liang Chihui's expression was rather subtle. "I don't interfere with her private life. I don't know the reason."
"I understand she blames me." Director Zhang felt awkward facing his ex-lover's son. "I'm really helpless! Thirty years ago, your father was at the peak of his powers, one of the top companies in Hebei Province. Zhang's assets were less than half of Liang's. I didn't have the guts to confront him head-on. I've let your mother down."
Liang Chihui took a sip of tea and ignored him completely.
Director Zhang rubbed his hands awkwardly. "There are eternal enemies in love, but not in business. Mr. Wang, I should have made my sincerity clear. Zhang's company won't make any money on this deal, but we've pleased the province, and the subsequent resources are immeasurable. Zhang's company invested 700 million, and Liang's invested 300 million. Although Director Liang is behind the scenes and can't be a figurehead, I believe you don't care about empty reputation. The province will allocate resources to the Zhang Group, and I'll give you 40%. Everything is up to me."
"Mr. Zhang has been in business for over thirty years and has accumulated a lot of connections in the industry. With a mere 300 million yuan shortfall, is there no place to borrow from?"
"If I borrow from my peers, wouldn't that expose the Zhang Group's cash flow difficulties? I'm afraid they might take advantage of the situation and join forces to start a price war in the market, or report it to the provincial government. I'm afraid of the trouble."
He Sang was stirring the dessert in the bowl. Mr. Zhang was actually a shrewd and calculating fox, but he was overly excited when the billion-dollar pie fell on his head and lost his mind.
He told Liang Chihui about his situation, which was equivalent to exposing his weaknesses, making it easier for Liang Chihui to control him.
"The Zhang Group has a market capitalization of 90 billion, but I can't come up with 1 billion in cash. Business is tough, and there are too many projects with uncollected balances. Fortunately, we had 200 million by the end of May, and by the end of the year, we still have over 3 billion. We have the money, but the provincial government requires it to be paid in full by early June. I can wait, but the higher-ups can't! I won't be satisfied without this piece of fat meat."
Liang Chihui smiled slightly, "Mr. Zhang is honest in telling you everything."
Director Zhang filled his cup with tea and asked, "Director Liang, with all the power he has today, can you really keep my secrets from me?"
At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps passing by the door. Among the strange men and women, there was a familiar voice, which sounded low and hoarse due to repeated coughing.
He Sang looked over subconsciously and felt as if struck by lightning.
He was actually discharged from the hospital.
The needle in his right hand had not been removed yet, and his face had become paler and paler. Even in the bright sunshine, he had visibly lost weight.
She felt a piercing numbness from head to toe.
It was like soaking in a pool of ice water, so numb that I lost all feeling.
He Sang tried her best to control her gaze, but she couldn't. It was like sticky glue, sticking to him, making her unable to cut it apart or tear it apart.
Liang Jishen, who was talking to his companion, seemed to sense her gaze. He suddenly turned sideways, stopped moving his lips, and looked at her quietly.
The last crabapple tree in late spring withered in the yard, its petals dried and spread all over the ground. When the wind blew, a sea of flowers formed in the air, falling like raindrops. He Sang clenched the tablecloth tightly, his fingers embedded in his palms, pricking them painfully.
