The door to the stairwell was not closed properly.
The two people's voices came through intermittently.
Chenmian snorted softly: "Then you can't be so mean to me. I thought you really thought I was being unreasonable and that you were really protecting Shang Wu."
"How could that be? That was just for show. Don't be angry. Take care of yourself. You just had a heart checkup and you're not feeling well. You can't get angry," Zhou Yanci coaxed gently.
Shang Wu heard it clearly from outside, and her eyes darkened.
The slumbering voice came again: "If you hadn't heard that I had coronary heart disease, you wouldn't have taken the initiative to lower yourself and get back together with me, right? Ah Ci, let me ask you, you do have feelings for me, and you didn't get back together with me out of pity, right?"
“I’ve always liked you. I’ve been ignoring you lately just so you could experience the pain I felt when you abandoned me. Otherwise, you won’t cherish what you’ve lost and then regained.”
Zhou Yanci raised her hand and smoothed Chenmian's hair. Looking at the woman in front of her, who was as exquisite as ever, and who finally belonged to her again, tender words came out of her mouth, but her heart was unmoved.
They've made up, and Mingming and Shenmian are happy again, just like before.
Why did he lose the initial spark?
Zhou Yanci hugged Shenmian's waist even tighter, as if trying to force the thought out of her mind.
"How long do I have to endure this?" Chenmian pouted, staring at him unwillingly.
Zhou Yanci paused for a moment, then said softly, "Wait a little longer. The new product will be released soon, in just over a month. At this crucial juncture, we shouldn't affect Shangwu."
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu quietly left and returned to her ward.
She stood by the window, the cold wind blowing, and the wound on the side of her face still seemed to ache faintly.
There's only a little over a month left.
My father will recover soon and be out of the hospital; my brother has also prepared the evidence.
But that's not enough.
That's far from enough.
She not only wants to save her family and avenge them, but also to restore the business to its former glory.
Shang Wu closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and finally took out his phone to make a call to Wen Xiang, the project manager.
Despite his busy schedule, Wenxiang made time to visit the patient in the ward.
When he arrived, Zhou Yanci had already left.
Seeing Wenxiang place a ginseng root worth at least two hundred thousand yuan on the table, Shang Wu's eyes flickered slightly.
“Brother Wen, you still care about me so much. Just like when we were in the business, every time I went to the group to see my dad, you would prepare snacks for me. Even when you were busy on my birthday, you would still personally bring me a gift.”
Wenxiang smiled at her: "Yes, I joined the company when you were twelve years old. You could say I watched you grow up. I treat you like my own sister."
Shang Wu pursed her lips.
She still remembers when the business collapsed, and a group of key technical personnel and senior executives of the group had nowhere to go.
It was she who led this group to negotiate with Zhou Yanci and got these people jobs at Chengzhou Group.
At the time, Shang Wu thought that this would make things difficult for Zhou Yanci, and that rashly accepting a large group of people would also cause dissatisfaction within the company.
Despite the pressure, Zhou Yanci still helped her take in these people.
From then on, Wenxiang and his group were very grateful to Zhou Yanci and worked their ass off for Chengzhou Group.
Only now does Shang Wu realize that what Cheng Zhou lacks is precisely this group of talents to lead Zhou Yanci into battle.
One of the reasons Zhou Yanci targeted the merchants was to use these key technical personnel as his talent pool.
"Awu, what's wrong? You seem preoccupied and aren't saying anything?"
Wenxiang sat on the edge of the bed and handed her a freshly peeled orange: "It's okay. I asked the nurses, and they said that if you apply the medicine properly, you definitely won't be disfigured. Don't worry."
Shang Wu snapped out of her daze and took the orange: "Brother Wen, I need you to do something for me. If anything goes wrong, you might lose your current job. Are you willing to do that? But when that happens, I'll help you find a better place."
Upon hearing this, Wenxiang paused, then hesitated and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes and whispered a few words to him.
Wenxiang took a deep breath: "But isn't President Zhou your fiancé? What good will this do for him and Chengzhou?"
"Don't ask anymore, I won't answer. Anyway, I have my reasons." Shang Wu smiled bitterly, unable to explain.
The people around her all thought that Zhou Yanci was a kind-hearted person and the savior of her dark life.
The fewer people who know the truth, the better.
Wenxiang pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll help you, but no matter what, I don't want you to regret it."
"I won't regret it."
Shang Wu looked at him firmly: "It won't happen again."
Wenxiang was taken aback, feeling that there was something more to her words, but he didn't ask any further questions.
He talked with Shang Wu for more than half an hour before leaving the hospital.
That evening, Shang Wu also left the hospital.
Zhou Yanci was surprised to learn this and went to her place that night to ask why she didn't want to be hospitalized.
"The jewelry department is about to launch new products, and it's inconvenient to stay in the hospital. Besides, it's not a serious injury, so there's no need to be dramatic."
Shang Wu acted as if he were extremely loyal to Cheng Zhou.
Zhou Yanci smiled with satisfaction and reached out to pinch Shang Wu's chin: "My A-Wu is a workaholic, but I feel sorry for you when you work so hard."
"My goal has always been to do a good job in the jewelry department, so that everyone can see how capable your fiancée is and how much she brings you honor."
Shang Wu pulled down his fidgeting hand and said, word by word, "I will make Chengzhou better and better. I will prove to you that it was worth it for you to lend a helping hand to the Shang family."
Zhou Yanci's expression stiffened, and the smile on her face became less natural.
He coughed lightly and mumbled, "I helped the business because I love you. I didn't expect anything in return."
