When the car carrying Xie Yang and Qiu Xing drove out of the hospital, the many media waiting outside immediately surrounded them excitedly.
"Jie Yang! What happened to Qiu Xing?"
"Xie Yang, are you going to Rongding to attend the shareholders' meeting?"
"Jie Yang! Jie Yang, please say something."
Overwhelming inquiries and shutter sounds were heard vaguely through the car door. Bodyguards and hospital security guards hurried forward to help drive away the media. Zhou Miao took the opportunity to break away from the media's encirclement, turned the steering wheel onto the main road, and then stepped on the accelerator to accelerate.
Xie Yang instructed: "Drive steadily."
"Yes." Zhou Miao responded and slowed down the car a little.
Qiu Xing's expression couldn't be controlled from the moment he saw the media, and he asked, "They chase you like this every day?"
"No, there's a shareholders' meeting today, so they're here." Xie Yang reached out and turned Qiu Xing's face around, making him look at him. "Once you show up, they won't block me like this anymore."
Qiu Xing looked at Jie Yang, his brows still furrowed. He reached out and hooked Jie Yang into his arms, and touched the back of Jie Yang's head: "When we get to the company, just sit down. I'll take care of everything."
"Then you are not allowed to be angry." Xie Yang hugged Qiu Xing back, "Doctor Kirkman said that excessive emotional fluctuations are not conducive to recovery."
"...I'm not angry." Qiu Xing pressed Jie Yang's head again, not letting Jie Yang look at his face. His tone and expression were completely different. "I promise I'm not angry."
…
After arriving at Rongding, the two avoided the crowd and took the special elevator upstairs. He Jun had been waiting outside the elevator. When he saw Qiu Xing, he took a step forward excitedly: "Boss!"
Qiu Xing nodded: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"Not hard!" He Jun glanced at the scar on Qiu Xing's head from the surgery, turned his head to suppress his emotions, took out a list and handed it over, and said quickly, "Boss, this is the list of people attending today's shareholders' meeting. The situation is better than originally estimated. Only less than one-fifth of the shareholders and senior executives from overseas branches came. Among them, Director Rebecca came yesterday. As soon as she arrived, she found Vice Director Qiu and expressed her opposition to this shareholders' meeting."
"Rebecca is always sensible." Qiu Xing took the list and scanned it, sneering, "It really uncovered a lot of fish. Qiu De and Liu Jiang, I didn't expect them to get together."
Xie Yang approached Qiu Xing, scanned the list, then looked at Qiu Xing and raised his eyebrows.
The coldness that had just gathered on Qiu Xing's face froze for a moment, and he relaxed his expression and said, "I'm not angry."
Xie Yang nodded: "I know, you just have a fierce expression by nature."
"..." Qiu Xing's expression became gentler. He held Jie Yang's hand and his voice became slower. "I won't be mean to you."
Xie Yang patted Qiu Xing on the shoulder and said, "Keep going."
He Jun: “…”
The meeting started at nine o'clock, and it was only half past eight. Several people sat down in the reception room. He Jun poured tea over, and then reported the company's situation during this period to Qiu Xing, with Jie Yang supplementing on the side.
During this period, Qiu Jingwei came over and said that he wanted to talk to Xie Yang. Xie Yang asked his secretary outside to drive Qiu Jingwei away.
While Xie Yang was instructing the secretary, Qiu Xing looked coldly at the office door for a long time. Only before Xie Yang turned back did he retract his gaze, pretending to be calm, and continued to listen to He Jun's report.
He Jun, who watched Qiu Xing's expression change closely, said: "..." He suddenly became a little worried about Vice President Qiu's safety.
At 8:55, Qiu Xing put down the report documents sorted out by He Jun, stood up, looked at Jie Yang, and extended his hand to Jie Yang.
Xie Yang smiled and held Qiu Xing's hand.
Qiu Xing pulled Jie Yang up, led him to the office door, opened the door, and walked out.
The secretaries in the secretarial office were huddled together, talking about something, their expressions unable to hide their worry. After hearing the sound of the door opening, they all looked over, and were stunned when they saw Qiu Xing. One of the secretaries who was drinking water even tilted her hand and poured all the water on her skirt.
Xie Yang coughed softly.
The secretaries gradually came back to their senses and looked at Qiu Xing, some staring, some opening their mouths, and said in unison: "Chairman?!"
Qiu Xing stopped walking out, turned his head to look at the secretaries who had lost their composure, and frowned: "What are you yelling about? Go to work."
Ah, that familiar black face and scolding.
The secretaries were all in a trance.
"Everyone go and get to work. Remember to change your clothes if they're wet." Xie Yang instructed, then followed Qiu Xing out of the secretary's office, stepped into the corridor outside, and walked towards the large conference room.
It was time to clock in for work, and there were many employees coming and going outside. On the way to the meeting room, Xie Yang successfully saw all kinds of astonishment and disbelief. The more he looked, the better his mood became. He approached Qiu Xing and said, "Look how scary you are. Everyone is stunned when they see you."
Qiu Xing frowned: "You are all too unstable." After saying that, he raised his hand and touched the corners of Jie Yang's eyes, which were slightly raised because of his smile, and his frown relaxed.
The two of them quickly arrived at the conference room. Qiu Xing frowned and pushed the door open.
The people who were talking noisily in the room stopped talking when they heard the noise and looked towards the door. Qiu Jingwei, who had his back to the door, turned around and raised his voice and said, "Mr. Jie, you are finally willing to come to the company to show off--" His voice stopped comically, and his neck, which was half-twisted, froze.
Qiu Xing slammed the door shut, looked at Qiu Jingwei with murderous eyes, and asked coldly: "What are you showing?"
Qiu Jingwei was stunned, then stood up suddenly: "Qiu Xing?!"
The room was eerily quiet. Those who had been chatting and laughing just now all looked at Qiu Xing in disbelief. Like a chicken with its neck strangled, his body was stiff, his neck stretched forward, and his eyes slightly widened.
Xie Yang appreciated everyone's expressions and smiled comfortably.
It took so long to create this good show, and the effect is good.
Qiu Xing led Jie Yang forward in front of everyone's incredulous eyes, and put Jie Yang in the chairman's seat. He stood in front of the seat himself, looked down at everyone, and said in a cold voice: "I remember that the shareholders' meeting is held every six months. It's not the time yet. Why are you all gathered together?"
Everyone came back to their senses, changed their sitting positions stiffly, exchanged glances, and had expressions of surprise and confusion. Liu Jiang, who was sitting at the end of the seats, was facing Qiu Xing with a look of as if he had seen a ghost.
The only blonde foreign woman present was the first to speak, her expression unable to conceal her excitement, and asked: "Qiu, are you okay?"
"Rebecca." Qiu Xing looked at the other person, his expression softened a little, and explained to Rebecca, and also to everyone, "It's okay. I had surgery some time ago, and I was officially discharged from the hospital today."
Everyone was struck by lightning.
Operation? What surgery? What does this mean? Could it be Qiu Xing... Many people then noticed the scar on Qiu Xing's head and their expressions changed drastically.
Rebecca also noticed the scar on Qiu Xing's head and asked for confirmation: "Surgery? Do you mean your body has recovered?"
"Yes, I have basically recovered. I just need to rest."
Basically recovered.
Everyone's expressions became more and more interesting, and many people even leaned back in their chairs. Qiu Xing recovered, recovered... How did he recover? Wasn't he seriously injured in the car accident and is still hanging on for life? Isn't he about to die?
After answering Rebecca's question, Qiu Xing once again glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice: "Now can you tell me why you are holding this shareholders' meeting? And," he met Liu Jiang's gaze, "Uncle, why are you here? I heard that you also took the media to the hospital. What do you want to do?"
Liu Jiang's face twitched, he clenched his cane tightly and was unable to speak.
Qiu Xing looked at Qiu Jingwei who was still standing. "And my uncle, I heard that during my treatment, my uncle brought people to the hospital many times to disrupt the normal order of the hospital? I arranged for an acting chairman in advance and promoted the two deputies you elected. My acting chairman even just helped the company get a big project. It can be said that Rongding is doing well. So what made you so worried that you frequently went to the hospital to cause trouble?"
Qiu Jingwei had no idea what to answer. He was completely confused from the moment he saw Qiu Xing.
How could this happen? Why does hatred occur? And still so healthy? !
He unconsciously looked at Jie Yang behind Qiu Xing.
When Xie Yang saw Qiu Jingwei looking at him, he slowly curled his lips, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Qiu Jingwei.
Qiu Jingwei felt as if he had been hit by a heavy punch, and his confused brain suddenly became clear. He quickly recalled what had happened during this period, glanced at Qiu Xing, who had cold eyes and a slightly pale complexion but was full of energy, and then glanced at the senior executives and shareholders around him who had been persuaded by him during this period and were full of confidence before but now had gloomy faces. He relaxed his legs and sat back in his chair.
Got fooled.
Everyone was fooled by Li Yang.
A surveillance video made them believe that Qiu Xing had been in a car accident. Xie Yang's exhaustion, early departure, and the lockdown of the hospital further confirmed that something must have gone terribly wrong with Qiu Xing. Then came the leaked photos of Qiu Xing lying in the intensive care unit... step by step, they clearly had no solid evidence, but they began to firmly believe that Qiu Xing was critically ill!
Xie Yang only created some confusing illusions, but they were easily fooled and took the initiative to hand over all their cards, stepping into a trap from which there was no escape!
A group of them were actually fooled by a young man.
That's ridiculous.
Qiu Jingwei looked at Qiu Xing again.
Qiu Xing is fine, he is not dying. He even underwent surgery when everyone thought he was dying and recovered completely.
A complete recovery would mean Qiu Xing would be able to stay in the position of Chairman of Rongding for ten or twenty years... Then what else was there for them to do? Qiu Xing is Rongding’s mainstay, the manager most trusted by all partners, and the trader most favored by investors... There is no room for struggle... No, we cannot lose like this.
Qiu Jingwei struggled to keep his expression steady and tried to explain: "I didn't go to the hospital to cause trouble. I went there because you had a car accident and I was worried about your safety. Director Xie has been vague about your health issues. I just wanted to see you."
Qiu Xing sneered, "Evasive? I don't believe that Xie Yang didn't tell you that I was fine and that I was not available for visitation. Now Xie Yang's Weibo homepage still has a message saying that I was fine. As for the car accident, I remember the police issued a notice at the time, clearly stating that I was not injured. Uncle, it's written in black and white, can't you understand?"
I understood it, but who knew that they were all true!
Qiu Jingwei wanted to say something but was interrupted by Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing once again scanned all the executives and shareholders present and asked, "I'll ask you one last time. Why did you hold this multinational shareholders' meeting when I was gone for less than a month? What is your demand?"
All the shareholders who had something to hide lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Qiu Xing.
Rebecca responded on his behalf: "They want to remove Chairman Xie from his position and elect a new acting chairman."
"Remove Xie Yang from his position?" Qiu Xing frowned and looked coldly, "What's the reason? What is your reason for removing Xie Yang? The company has a rule that unless the acting chairman has committed a major fault, you have no right to replace the acting chairman without my permission. What was Xie Yang's major fault? Did he help the company win a major project?"
No one spoke, and it was Rebecca who spoke up again. She said, "They think Jie Yang is incapable of managing Rongding and is suspected of bringing trouble to Rongding's image. He is also irresponsible for being absent from work for a long time."
"He negotiated a big project half a month after taking office. Is this not enough?" Qiu Xing supported the conference table with both hands and leaned over to look at everyone. "And when did Rongding add image as a selection criterion? I have never heard of it. As for absenteeism, I remember that Xie Yang has been working remotely to handle Rongding's affairs, and he has kept He Jun in the company to assist in handling miscellaneous matters. I also selected two deputies to stay in the company. I just want to ask you, did Xie Yang delay any Rongding affairs during his tenure?"
No one spoke.
Qiu Xing became more and more angry as he spoke: "Two years ago, when my mother was sick, I didn't come to the company for a month. At that time, I also handled official business remotely. According to your standards, should I resign?"
You could hear a pin drop in the room, and everyone even breathed softly.
Xie Yang suddenly reached out and gently patted Qiu Xing on the back.
Qiu Xing's anger paused, he adjusted his breathing to calm himself down, shook Jie Yang's hand with his backhand, then stood up and reached out to He Jun.
He Jun quickly handed the sorted documents to Qiu Xing.
"You guys are really playing around with me and really opened my eyes." Qiu Xing put all the documents on the table and picked up a book and flipped through it. "This month, Rongding seems to have had a lot of personnel and project changes without the knowledge of me and the acting chairman. Vice Chairman Qiu, was it you who made the decision to replace the person in charge of the branch?"
The liquidation has begun.
Qiu Jingwei's voice tightened as he replied, "The personnel changes were the result of everyone's discussion."
"Everyone? Which everyone?"
Qiu Jingwei looked at the senior executives he wanted to win over, but they all avoided his sight.
Qiu Xing also glanced at the senior executives Qiu Jingwei was looking at, closed the document, and returned his gaze to Qiu Jingwei, and continued: "For such a big matter as replacing the head of the branch, you didn't even consult and get the signature of the chairman. Vice Chairman Qiu, what are your intentions?"
Qiu Jingwei felt cold and anxious, and explained palely: "We couldn't contact Director Jie at that time, so-"
"He Jun, can you contact Director Jie?"
He Jun replied: "I can get in touch with you."
"Did Vice President Qiu submit the personnel change application to you and ask you to pass it on to President Jie?"
"No."
Qiu Xing looked at Qiu Jingwei: "Can't get in touch?"
Qiu Jingwei was speechless.
Qiu Xing threw away this document and picked up the next one, still looking at Qiu Jingwei: "During my surgery, three projects changed their partners and persons in charge. Who gave you the right to make such changes?"
Qiu Jingwei was more confident this time and replied, "I don't know about this."
"Really? Vice President Long, does Vice President Qiu know about this?"
Vice Chairman Long, who was sitting in Qiu Jingwei's position, replied, "I know. This was all arranged by Vice Chairman Qiu."
Qiu Jingwei was stunned, then looked at Vice President Long in disbelief. Meeting Vice President Long's unusually cold eyes, he instantly understood something. He was halfway through saying "You--" when he was interrupted by Qiu Xing.
"Knowing about it means knowingly and willfully violating the company's rules and regulations and interfering with the normal operation of the company. Vice President Qiu, I think it is inappropriate for you to sit in your current position. What do you think?"
Qiu Jingwei's brain went blank and he quickly turned to look at Qiu Xing. When he met Qiu Xing's cold gaze, his heart shrank. He glanced at the other senior shareholders who looked pale, and finally looked at Vice Chairman Long who was no longer looking at him. He finally realized that the situation was hopeless and his face became completely dejected.
Everyone in the conference room also understood something from Vice President Long's "betrayal". They looked at the two deputies who were elected by vote, then at Xie Yang who looked relaxed, and finally their eyes fell on the stack of documents in Qiu Xing's hand and they panicked.
…
The shareholders' meeting turned into a liquidation meeting. After more than two hours, the meeting ended with Qiu Jingwei, Qiu De, and several senior executives being removed from their positions, several shareholders being deprived of their rights, several projects being investigated, Liu Jiang being kicked out of the board of directors, and Rongding ceasing cooperation with the companies under Liu Jiang's name.
At the same time, He Jun used Rongding’s official Weibo account to publish an announcement that Qiu Xing’s surgery was successful and he resumed his position as the chairman of Rongding.
When the news came out, all parties were shocked.
After finishing the meeting and returning to the office, Qiu Xing continued to work. He first met with Rebecca and had a secret conversation with her for a while, then issued a series of orders through He Jun, and then held a video conference in the inner office with senior executives and directors from abroad who did not attend the shareholders' meeting.
While Qiu Xing was busy, Xie Yang sat quietly by the side, using his special powers to soothe Qiu Xing's body, while remotely directing Master Liao and others to prepare a birthday surprise for Qiu Xing.
At half past twelve, the video conference finally ended. Qiu Xing came out of the inner office and saw Rebecca off.
When Qiu Xing turned around, Xie Yang stood up and greeted him, saying, "Eat now, and take a nap right after eating."
The cold and tense aura on Qiu Xing's body quickly dissipated, and he held Jie Yang's hand: "Okay."
Qiu Xing still needs to abstain from food during the recuperation period. Chef Liao prepares lunch and asks the nanny to deliver it to him. It is still those familiar bland dishes.
Qiu Xing's brows knitted into knots, and he moved all the meat dishes in front of Jie Yang. After taking two bites, he suddenly said, "I won't have to avoid certain foods in a month."
"But for the sake of your body and your stomach, you'd better eat a lighter diet for three to six months." Xie Yang smiled at Qiu Xing, "But during the Chinese New Year, I can allow you to have hot pot with me once, slightly spicy."
Qiu Xing pursed his lips, picked up some food for Jie Yang, and said, "Let's go on a date after we wake up from our nap. Is there anything you want to do, or somewhere you want to go?"
"Yes, I want to have sex."
Qiu Xing's face was full of warmth.
"But your physical condition doesn't seem to allow it." Xie Yang took out two tickets like a magician and shook them gently. "Dr. Kirkman said you are not suitable for noisy environments, so I bought two concert tickets. I looked at the repertoire, and they are all very relaxing and soothing songs. Do you want to go and listen?"
“…”
Xie Yang raised an eyebrow: "Or do you want to do it--hmm."
Qiu Xing leaned forward and hooked his arm around Jie Yang's neck. He bit Jie Yang's lips gently, then stood up and scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense! You... you wait a little longer. I'll go ask Kirkman... about food! Stop talking."
Xie Yang smiled, suddenly stood up and sat next to Qiu Xing, took out his phone, turned on the camera, pointed it at the two of them, and asked, "What's my last name?"
Qiu Xing looked at the two people's faces leaning against each other on the phone screen, squeezed his chopsticks, his eyebrows softened, and he replied softly, "Solved."
…
A few minutes later, Weibo.
[Jie Yang: The best Christmas gift, he is getting better. Merry Christmas everyone. 】
Below is a photo of the two of them leaning against each other.
The next second, Qiu Xing’s Weibo, which had been silent for a long time, showed some movement.
Qiu Xing liked Yang’s Weibo post.
