As soon as this question was asked, the old man's breathing paused noticeably.
In fact, she had asked this question many times, but each time it would cause the old man to show slight abnormalities.
After a few seconds of silence, I heard him say, "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Jian Ci asked persistently, "What was the sign of my illness then?"
"The precursor is..." The old man paused before continuing, "You little bastard, you've been out all day doing nothing but drinking with other people! And then you got caught in a cold wind all night somewhere and came back, and you almost burned yourself into a fool!"
Jian Ci: “…”
This answer is indeed the same as it has been for ten years.
The old man didn't seem to like this topic, so he immediately changed it and asked, "How is your health recently?"
Jian Ci silently curled the corners of her lips, "Senior Sister reports to you every day, do I still need to say it?"
This is also the reason why she would rather let Chen Ling misunderstand than explain.
Because if there is no seemingly good reason, I am afraid I will not pass.
In response, the old man snorted coldly, "What's the point of reporting every day? You still don't know when you got a new master."
Jian Ci chuckled at this and said, "I already said it was a misunderstanding."
"Anyway, if you can't resolve this matter, don't come back."
After saying that, the old man decisively hung up the phone.
However, she sensed a sense of escape in this decisiveness.
Jian Ci threw her cell phone aside and fell on the sofa.
Jane Ci did not go downstairs for dinner that night.
Chen Ling just thought she was too tired and didn't think much about it. She asked the kitchen staff to leave some food for her and went upstairs to rest.
That night, under the influence of drugs, Jian Ci fell into a deep black dream and couldn't extricate herself.
*
Early the next morning.
She was woken up by a call from Assistant Li.
"explain."
She controlled her emotions, but her cold tone still made Assistant Li shudder.
"Well, Miss, are you back? President Jian has been sitting in your office waiting for you these days."
After hearing this, Jian Ci slowly reopened her eyes and asked, "Is he discharged from the hospital?"
Assistant Li said hurriedly, "Yes, I just returned to work two days ago, and the company's current situation is not quite right, so you should hurry back."
Jian Ci didn't expect Jian Guoxing to be able to walk out alive. She couldn't help but pinch her brows and said, "I know."
Assistant Li asked cautiously, "When will you be back?"
Jian Ci lay on the sofa, her voice full of sleepiness and impatience, "Let's talk about it this afternoon."
Assistant Li was stunned for a moment. "Afternoon?"
So does she mean to go back to Kyoto now?
Thinking of this, he was about to ask, but a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello? Hello?"
After confirming that the call was hung up, Assistant Li had no choice but to return to the office.
At this moment, Jian Guoxing sat there with an imposing look on his face, and asked in a calm voice, "How is it? Did you get through?"
Assistant Li answered truthfully, "The eldest lady said she would come in the afternoon."
Jian Guoxing's face turned increasingly grim. "In the afternoon? She means that I, as her father, should sit here and wait for her?!"
He called her several times during this period, but unfortunately, not only did the girl not answer any of the calls, she also turned off her phone.
This made him so angry that his heart ached for several days.
I just went straight to the company to block her.
But who knew that this damn girl didn't return to the company for a long time.
He was kept waiting for several days.
He's clearly back now, yet he still dares to leave me alone.
Does she still regard me as her father in her eyes?
"Give me your phone, I'll call her myself!" Jian Guoxing said and asked him for his phone.
Assistant Li was naturally unwilling to do so, but when he thought of Jian Ci's unfriendly tone after being woken up, he changed his mind.
Judging from Jian Ci's current condition, if he goes up there, he will just be cannon fodder.
If I get hurt again and end up in the hospital, that will be a disaster.
So he immediately took out his cell phone.
But Jian Ci had already turned off her phone.
When Jian Guoxing heard the familiar reply of "the phone is turned off", he slammed the table in anger and shouted, "Jian Ci, that damn girl, just wait for me!"
Then he returned to his office.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Jian Ci finally arrived.
Because she was woken up in the morning, she was now surrounded by a low pressure.
When the people around her saw her, they pointed and talked in low voices.
Keywords such as calligraphy and painting, and four billion were occasionally heard in the discussion.
Obviously, everyone in the company now knows that she spent 4 billion to buy a painting.
On the way back to his office, he happened to meet a few directors from Jian Guoxing's side.
Now that Jian Guoxing is back, they seem to have seen hope of revival again.
So he changed his previous attitude of keeping a low profile and started to act sarcastic.
"Oh! Our young lady who spends money like water has finally decided to come back."
"The eldest lady is really generous this time. Four billion, she just spent it without hesitation."
"I just don't know whose money I'm spending. Is it the company's or my own?"
…
"Are you done?"
Jian Ci looked up at this time, her bloodshot eyes looking creepy and gloomy.
Those people's hearts skipped a beat.
I just felt a chill running down my spine.
