When Gu Yiming left the ward, he had already regained his usual cold and composed expression. A faint smile played on his lips, carrying a hint of sarcasm. He took out his phone from his pocket, swiped it with one hand to display the doctor's number, and then headed towards the restroom.
"You can witness the results of your research now." This short sentence was enough to convey Gu Yiming's meaning. After hearing the doctor's response, he hung up the phone, feeling a faint sense of satisfaction from revenge.
The miscarriage had caused such a big stir that Li Nanqing naturally knew about it. He felt very pleased to learn that Gu Yiming had stumbled, but he clearly had more on his mind than that.
"Gu Yiming hasn't been going to the company much lately, has he?" Li Nanqing exchanged a few pleasantries with the person on the other end of the phone, then casually brought it up.
"To neglect the entire company because of family matters is going too far!"
"As his older brother, I have no choice but to help him." Li Nanqing said in a somber tone, with a hint of disappointment, but a smug smile on his face as he listened to the flattery on the phone while planning his return to the company.
Li Nanqing is not very capable in serious matters, but he is a master at forming cliques and is very good at bewitching people. This makes it possible for many people to still try to curry favor with him from time to time even after he left the company. Now that they understand his intentions, they are willing to run around doing things for the sake of the two people's fake friendship.
"Young Master, you can come to work tomorrow." Upon receiving the call, Li Nanqing's lips curled up. Thinking of Gu Yiming's expression when he found out he was back, he felt exceptionally good.
It was common knowledge that Li Nanqing and Gu Yiming had a strained relationship, but everyone thought it was just a temporary conflict. After all, they were brothers, so when they heard that Li Nanqing had returned, they assumed it was Gu Yiming's idea and hurriedly made preparations. The matter was quickly resolved, and Li Nanqing returned to the company and got a good position, although he was still not satisfied.
My dear brother, how could I not take advantage of your misfortune to kick you when you're down, to repay you for all the care you've given me over the years?
Li Nanqing had already prepared a plan to disrupt the company, intending to gradually regain his rightful power and eventually take over the entire company.
Although Jiang Hua appeared to be perfectly normal, she refused to wake up for a long time, causing Gu Yiming to shuttle back and forth between the hospital and Xu Xiaoxiao's residence. He was worried about Jiang Hua's safety while keeping an eye on the drug research and preparing for Jiang Hua's revenge. Inevitably, he was neglected at the company. In addition, due to Li Nanqing's deliberate concealment, Gu Yiming was unaware that he had returned to the company until his company assistant called him.
"What is it?" Gu Yiming spoke with his usual concise and indifferent tone, appearing somewhat absent-minded as he pondered other matters.
"There's been a dispute among some people in the company regarding the plan you've drafted." The assistant's tone was anxious and helpless, revealing his current state of utter distress. Upon hearing this, Gu Yiming finally regained his focus and became serious.
How could a solution that was resolved in a meeting have run into problems now? The unusual situation gave him a sense of crisis; at this critical juncture, he really couldn't afford any more unexpected events.
"What happened?"
"Those people seem to be led by the eldest young master..." The assistant was also very evasive about the brotherhood, feeling it was not easy to say, and could only give a vague explanation of the situation.
Gu Yiming immediately recognized it as a trick by Li Nanqing, which put him at ease. He would have been troubled if any other intelligent person had tried to sabotage things, but with his ambitious yet naive older brother, he had nothing to worry about.
"Proceed according to the plan, I'll handle the rest." Gu Yiming scoffed lightly, then gave the order in a domineering and unquestionable manner. He slammed down the phone, put his phone in his pocket, and turned back to the ward.
After spending many days with her, Jiang Hua's condition remained unchanged, showing no signs of waking up. Gu Yiming was distressed and worried, but could only be thankful that her physical condition was good and there was no danger. He quietly waited for the day she would wake up.
"I'm going to the company. You get some rest." Gu Yiming leaned down in front of Jiang Hua and said softly. Without waiting for her response, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead before turning and leaving. The moment he stepped out the door, the tenderness in his eyes vanished, replaced by a chilling indifference.
"Oh, I thought it was some rare guest, but it turns out it's President Li back." Li Nanqing spoke sarcastically as soon as he saw Gu Yiming. He was still basking in the praise and flattery he had received at the company, and his face was full of mockery. His face, which originally resembled Gu Yiming's somewhat, was ruined by his lack of integrity and had a touch of petty smugness.
Gu Yiming seemed not to hear him. With brisk steps and a straight posture, he walked straight towards the conference room. When he passed his assistant who was waiting on the side, he slightly turned his head and instructed him to arrange for someone else to come to the meeting immediately. From beginning to end, he did not even give Li Nanqing a glance, completely ignoring him.
Upon seeing Gu Yiming's arrogant attitude, Li Nanqing was filled with rage. The smile in his eyes became increasingly ruthless. He suppressed his anger, and the sound of his knuckles grinding could be faintly heard as his fists were clenched so tightly.
"Didn't you go home to take care of your wife and kids? You've already put the company's affairs aside, so why are you coming back?"
"Oh right, I forgot, the baby is gone."
He raised an eyebrow, deliberately provoking Gu Yiming. As he spoke, he glanced around, trying to make everyone realize Gu Yiming's irresponsibility towards the company, and maliciously added a sentence at the end.
Gu Yiming finally turned to look at Li Nanqing, but his face did not show the anger he had expected. His expression remained indifferent, and there was something in his eyes that he couldn't quite put his finger on, which made him inexplicably want to lower his head.
"Bring me the air freshener." Gu Yiming turned his gaze back and said to his assistant, his footsteps never stopping as he gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Li Nanqing stared at Gu Yiming's departing figure, and it took him a long time to realize that Gu Yiming had just called him a bug. The way Gu Yiming looked at him was as if he were looking at an insignificant insect. The anger in his heart burned brighter and brighter, and he could not suppress it no matter what. He gritted his teeth and spat out three words one by one.
We'll see.
Li Nanqing quickly followed, trying to embarrass Gu Yiming. To his surprise, the few people who had originally opposed Gu Yiming with him suddenly agreed with Gu Yiming and their attitude towards him changed drastically, as if they were looking at a stranger.
"Do you have any other opinions?" Gu Yiming asked casually, and then left the meeting room without waiting for Li Nanqing's reply.
