I also saw Secretary Ge from behind; her once jet-black hair was now almost entirely white.
Seeing Secretary Ge like this, Lu Fan felt a pang of sadness and gave him a few words of advice.
"Chairman, I know my health, so you can rest assured."
Secretary Ge felt warmed by Lu Fan's concern and smiled as she spoke to him, not wanting him to worry too much.
Secretary Ge is almost fifty years old. He had a wife before, but they divorced for unknown reasons. He has no children and has not remarried.
Secretary Ge always treated Lu Fan as her own child.
"Well, I'll be going now."
Seeing that they had arrived at the hospital, Lu Fan still wanted to say something to Secretary Ge, but after looking at it, he didn't say anything. Just as he was about to get out of the car, Secretary Ge called him back.
"Wait a minute, Lu Fan."
Lu Fan was a little surprised when he heard Secretary Ge call his name.
Because Secretary Ge rarely calls himself by his name, but always addresses him as Chairman Ge.
He didn't get out of the car, waiting for Secretary Ge to say what she wanted to say.
"Chairman, the baby has been born, right? Have you chosen a name yet?"
Secretary Ge realized she had said something wrong and lowered her head to ask Lu Fan.
"It's all chosen. His nickname is Tiger, and his formal name is Lu Wei. Come up with me and take a look."
Upon hearing this, it turned out that Secretary Ge simply wanted to ask about her child's name.
Looking at Secretary Ge, who was all alone, he felt a pang of sadness for no reason, and then invited Secretary Ge to go up with him.
"I won't go up; I still have some things to take care of."
Secretary Ge quickly waved her hand to refuse. She knew in her heart that she was an outsider after all, and there were elders from both sides in the ward, so there was no need for her to go there and make things awkward.
"Okay, when we celebrate our baby's 100th day, we'll definitely treat you to a nice drink."
Seeing that Secretary Ge didn't want to go up, Lu Fan didn't force her.
After exchanging a few words, they got out of the car and walked towards the hospital.

"snort!"
Neither Dongfang Investment nor Dongfang Shuo's old steward left; everyone gathered in Dongfang Investment's conference room.
"Young Master, this was indeed our mistake."
All of Dongfang Investment's management stood on both sides, with only the old steward and Dongfang Shuo sitting in chairs. The manager of Dongfang Investment stood respectfully to the side and spoke.
"Old Zhang, you've been a senior member of the company for a while now. How could you make such a mistake? Alright, let's call it a day. Anyway, we've completed our task."
When the old butler saw Manager Zhang glance at him, he also acted as a peacemaker, advising the angry Dongfang Shuo.
Hearing the old housekeeper speak well of him, Manager Zhang breathed a long sigh of relief.
After all, the old butler was a member of the Dongfang family, and everyone except Dongfang Xingchen had to give him some face.
Even if he were Dongfang Xingchen's own son, he wouldn't dare say anything before he even joined the company.
"Hmph, fine, I hope you can talk to Dongfang Xingchen about this yourself."
Dongfang Shuo also understood that these people respected him on the surface, but in reality they were not convinced of his abilities.
Seeing that the old butler and the manager had a close relationship, he simply said something cold to the manager and got up to leave.
However, the people standing around Dongfang Shuo did not make way for him; they simply stood quietly in place.
They seemed unaware that Dongfang Shuo was about to leave.
"Are you planning a rebellion, old butler?!"
Seeing that his own employees dared to block his way, he angrily shouted at them. Then he saw that the old butler was still sitting in his chair, without any reaction.
"Alright, all of you, get out of the way and find a car to take the young master back to the castle."
The old steward sighed and gave instructions to the people from Oriental Investment.
"Aren't you coming with me? What are you going to do here?"
Hearing that the old steward wasn't coming with him, Dongfang Shuo asked him with some confusion, "Didn't Dongfang Xingchen tell him to take me back?"
"I still need to take care of things here. After I'm done here, I'll go to the master to apologize myself."
Despite Dongfang Shuo's question, the old steward remained seated, playing with his prayer beads.
Dongfang Shuo left Dongfang Investment with several employees.
After Dongfang Shuo left, everyone looked up at the old steward.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Qu, for today."
Manager Zhang from Dongfang Investment took out a bank card from his pocket, placed it on the table, and said with a smile.
"Hmm, what exactly happened this time? How could you not investigate your competitors beforehand? I'm the one here this time; if it were anyone else, you'd be in for a beating!"
Looking at the bank card on the table, Old Master Qu, as the old steward of the Dongfang family, was already used to such bribery.
Tuo took the bank card and looked at it before asking Manager Zhang a question.
"What can a young master do to us? He filmed it himself, so it has nothing to do with us. As long as Elder Qu is still in this position, we who work under him will definitely follow your lead."
Manager Zhang disregarded Dongfang Shuo and launched into a tirade against Old Qu.
"Come on! What's going on? Your work is getting more and more lax. Should I talk to the master and come here to take a look?"
Old Master Qu's expression also showed some displeasure.
The money they received was to speak on their behalf, but the trouble they've caused this time won't be so easy to resolve.
Moreover, he was managing this investment company on behalf of others, so he had to find a scapegoat. Otherwise, Dongfang Shuo would definitely tell Dongfang Xingchen about this when he got back.
"This information was gathered by the resources department. They only found out that Shanggong Construction was preparing to bid for the last project, but who would have thought that the Jiang Group would invest in them? That's why we spent 800 million to win the project. As soon as I got back, I had all the relevant people pack their bags and leave. You can rest assured, Mr. Qu."
He became the general manager of a company under the Dongfang family and also had a certain ability to read people's expressions.
Seeing Master Qu's expression and hearing his words, he immediately understood Master Qu's meaning and then said to him.
"Good, you handled this matter very well. What you did to the young master just now is unacceptable in the future. Who knows, it won't be long before this young master comes to work here. Don't say I didn't warn you."
