“For the past three years, he has done nothing but work. When he is tired, he will lie down on the table and sleep for a while, and then continue working when he wakes up.”
"Whenever he's at a drinking party, whether it's necessary or not, he'll get himself drunk... Only when he's drunk can he sleep peacefully for a while..."
The assistant genuinely felt sorry for Lin Zhibai, and her eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.
Gu Fanyan's face gradually darkened, and she remained silent.
The assistant then realized he had talked too much, turned away, and calmed down.
Gu Fanyan slowly stood up and said, "Tell Lin Zhibai that I know everything. I'm leaving."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
As the assistant watched her receding figure, a vague unease crept into his heart.
Did he say too much and make too many mistakes...?
Gu Fanyan returned to the hospital ward. Today, the child's spirits had fully recovered, and he was chatting with Chen Qiao.
"Mommy!" As soon as she saw her mother come in, Liang Mufan immediately reached out her little hands for a hug.
Gu Fanyan smiled gently and reached out to hug him.
Her child's dependence gave her peace of mind, and her fluctuating emotions calmed down.
After dinner, Liang Mufan fell asleep quickly.
At this moment, Gu Fanyan received a call from Liang Zixin. "Fanyan, I got news from my dad's assistant," he said in a low voice, "Lin Zhibai has arranged to meet my dad tonight."
Alarm bells rang in Gu Fanyan's mind. What did Lin Zhibai want to do by meeting with Liang's father at this time?
"Where should we meet?" Gu Fanyan asked.
"I don't know," Liang Zixin said, her head aching. "But I'll try to find out."
Gu Fanyan put down the phone, unable to sit still any longer. This meeting was bound to be tense on both sides.
Lin Zhibai may have other plans, but if he really falls out with the Liang family, it won't do him any good.
She handed the child over to her assistant and rushed to the hotel where Lin Zhibai was staying.
As she walked out of the hospital building, she bumped into Chen Qiao, who was carrying a suitcase and preparing to leave.
"A flight tonight?" Gu Fanyan paused slightly.
When Chen Qiao was booking the plane tickets, she walked away and didn't hear clearly which flight she booked.
Chen Qiao nodded, "It's 8 pm, I have to go there now. Mr. Gu, where are you going?"
Gu Fanyan replied calmly, "There's something I need to take care of at the office."
"Should I change my ticket and stay to take care of Xiaoroubao?" Chen Qiao asked immediately.
Gu Fanyan shook her head: "He has an assistant watching over him, so it's fine. You go back and deal with the company's inspection."
She watched Chen Qiao get into a taxi, and then took a taxi herself and left.
However, Chen Qiao's taxi circled the hospital for most of the way before slowly coming to a stop.
The car door opened, she got out of the taxi, and took out a phone.
“Hello, is this Mrs. Lin?” she said. “Let’s move the meeting time up by an hour, but the location remains the same.”
Mo Jiao put down the phone and turned to Lin's mother, saying, "Madam, the meeting time with President Liang has been moved up by one hour."
Lin's mother frowned unhappily: "He changes the time he set so easily. What does he take our Lin family for?"
Mo Jiao did not answer, waiting for Lin's mother's instructions.
After thinking for a moment, Lin's mother said, "You change cars, and we'll go an hour early, but first find a secluded place and not show ourselves. Let's see what they're up to!"
Mo Jiao agreed and immediately went to prepare.
Gu Fanyan arrived at the hotel entrance just as a car was leaving, while Lin Zhibai's two assistants stood at the door, their eyes fixed on the car.
She thought to herself, "Perfect timing!" and immediately instructed the taxi driver, "Follow that car in front."
The taxi passed by the two assistants.
Two assistants stood outside for a while, and one of them asked, "Where is the old lady going?"
“I guess she went to see the Liang family,” another assistant replied.
“That makes sense. The young master has a grudge against the Liang family, but Madam Lin doesn’t want to make enemies with them. The old lady is going there this time to settle the score, right?”
"But is this really going to be done without the young master's approval?"
"Yes, the Liang family didn't take away money or business, but Miss Gu... Young Master's feud with them is probably not so easy to resolve."
"The old lady's efforts will only be in vain."
"Now that the old lady isn't here, should we try to get the young master out..."
"Give me a break, you really don't want this salary anymore?"
“We will listen to the old lady. The young master will not do anything to us, but if we release the young master, the old lady will make us get out of here immediately.”
After a moment of silence, the two tacitly agreed not to bring up the topic again, and instead turned and walked into the hotel.
After entering the elevator, one of the assistants suddenly said, "Did you notice that taxi from earlier?"
"The taxi that drove past us after the old lady's car left?"
"You noticed too! Did you see it clearly? The person sitting in the taxi looks a bit like Miss Gu!"
"..."
"Yes! It's Miss Gu!"
Ordinary people might misjudge, but a beauty like Miss Gu is unique even in profile!
Such a slender, elegant, and beautiful figure is nowhere to be found again!
"Things are more serious than we thought!"
"Don't hold me back! Even if I lose my job, I'm going to tell the young master about this!"
...
Mo Jiao drove Lin's mother to their destination, a huge cargo terminal.
The city's cargo terminal is world-renowned, with an enormous throughput, densely packed with cargo ships at sea, and countless containers on the dock.
Looking at it from a high place, it resembles a child spilling Lego bricks, enough to trigger trypophobia in people.
"Why did you meet here?" Mo Jiao asked, somewhat puzzled.
"They just want to take this opportunity to show off the Liang family's vast assets," Lin's mother said. "I estimate that even if this dock doesn't belong entirely to the Liang family, it's at least half of it."
The Liang family's strength should not be underestimated.
Zhi Bai's decision to take out 1 billion yuan to confront them is rather impulsive.
Just then, Mo Jiao's phone rang. "Madam, it's the Liang family calling."
Lin's mother nodded: "I'll take it."
Mo Jiao answered the phone and heard the other person ask, "Was that silver car that just drove into the Q area entrance yours?"
"yes."
"Our General Manager Liang has arrived. He's at the second entrance in Zone H. Just follow the arrows," the other party said.
This situation was unexpected for Lin's mother.
Lin's mother nodded, "Now that he's here, let's go over there."
Mo Jiao drove slowly along the road at the dock, with tall, large containers piled up on both sides. The road was narrow and winding.
She turned a corner and finally saw the sign for area H. Just then, a forklift drove up and blocked the entire road.
With nowhere to go, she suddenly noticed a huge shipping container with its door open next to her, but there was nothing inside.
It's more than enough to allow vehicles to temporarily take cover.
She then drove the car in first.
The forklifts roared past the container, blocking out all the light and making a lot of noise.
