Jiang Long's tone also became serious. "It's like this. I had been saying that President Yan had undergone minor surgery and needed to rest for a while. Plus, he was newly married and needed to go on his honeymoon. Although some people had doubts, the company was still operating normally, and this matter didn't cause too much of a stir. But starting last week, someone started spreading rumors in the company that President Yan had actually been in a very serious car accident, which is why he couldn't come to work."
Gu Qingqiu commented: "This can't be considered a rumor; it's a fact."
Jiang Long sighed, "Yes, but yesterday someone posted a photo of President Yan lying in a hospital bed, saying that President Yan had actually become a vegetable after the car accident and was unable to continue operating the company."
"Photos?" Gu Qingqiu was a little angry. Such photos could not have been taken by anyone other than someone very close to Yan Shengxiao or someone who was present at the time. They were most likely taken by Yan Anjian.
It is said that even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet Yan Anjian actually treated his own son so cruelly.
"Can you find out who posted the photos?" Gu Qingqiu tried hard to control the anger in her voice.
Jiang Long was also helpless. "We can find out, but it was initially done by an intern. Regardless of whether we can find the mastermind behind it or whether we need to hold someone accountable, the photos have already spread. There's no point in holding everyone accountable if we investigate who released them first. Many employees are already complaining and demanding an explanation from the company, especially those old fogies on the board. They're even demanding that President Yan personally come to the company to deny the rumors, but you know President Yan's current situation..."
Gu Qingqiu said in a deep voice, "I understand. You help stabilize the situation first, and I'll think of a solution."
Jiang Long gratefully replied, "Thank you, Madam Gu. You know, I wouldn't want to trouble you unless it was absolutely necessary."
"Hmm." Gu Qingqiu comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll find a solution soon."
Jiang Long didn't really believe that Gu Qingqiu could find a solution to the problem quickly, but Gu Qingqiu's attitude gave him some comfort, and he needed that comfort now.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Qingqiu leaned against the wall for a while, then walked over to Yan Shengxiao and squatted down. "Did you hear everything?"
Yan Shengxiao could only hear what Gu Qingqiu was saying, but being as clever as he was, he was able to piece together the complete conversation from just a few words.
He could no longer remain calm. He wanted to comfort his bride and tell her not to be afraid, that he would try his best to wake up and protect her. But all he could do now was twitch his little finger slightly. He didn't even know if his bride had noticed his little gesture.
Gu Qingqiu naturally noticed this, so she continued the conversation, "Have you ever heard the fairy tale called Sleeping Beauty? I heard that she woke up after the prince kissed her, but I've kissed you so many times, why don't you show any signs of waking up?"
Yan Shengxiao felt a little wronged by these words. First of all, he wasn't Sleeping Beauty, and his little bride wasn't a prince. Secondly, his little bride only kissed his cheek, not his lips; princes kiss the lips, you know!
As Yan Shengxiao was thinking this, he suddenly felt something soft and warm press against his lips.
Is this...his little bride...kissing him?
Yan Shengxiao felt his heart racing. This was his first kiss, and it had happened under such circumstances. He longed to kiss his little bride back, to make her moan softly in his wild plunder, but he couldn't even open his mouth.
No! He must wake up as soon as possible!
The company needs him now! And the new bride needs him too!
After the kiss ended, Gu Qingqiu belatedly realized and shyly pulled away. This... this was her first kiss! She never expected it to end like this.
Yan Shengxiao didn't seem to make any move. Gu Qingqiu felt a little regretful and sad, but she knew that if Yan Shengxiao woke up, he would definitely respond to the kiss with the most sincere and passionate attitude. From his slightly trembling hands and his accelerated heartbeat, Gu Qingqiu already knew his thoughts. He was also looking forward to and liked the kiss.
The male protagonist system's voice rang out at the opportune moment: [Host, experience bar progress is 65%.]
Gu Qingqiu: [System, I want to ask you a question.]
Male Protagonist System: [Host, please ask.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Is this experience bar progress also related to Yan Shengxiao's progress in mastering the body?]
Male protagonist system: [There is a certain relationship, but not an absolute one; the specific calculation method cannot be disclosed.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Won't Yan Shengxiao only wake up when the progress bar reaches 100%?]
Male Protagonist System: [No, host, please rest assured.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Approximately how far along will the progress bar go before Yan Shengxiao wakes up?]
Male Protagonist System: [I can't reveal the details, but based on the plot's progression, the host probably has a general idea.]
Gu Qingqiu: [I understand, thank you.]
Male Protagonist System: [You're welcome. Please complete the task as soon as possible.]
Gu Qingqiu calculated that, according to the original plot, Yan Shengxiao did indeed accelerate his physical recovery after the photo scandal at the company, and he appeared at the right time when several shareholders were making a scene at the board meeting, achieving the satisfying effect of a satisfying slap in the face.
The experience bar has indeed increased dramatically, meaning Yan Shengxiao could wake up at any time. It's just unknown whether he will actually wake up on the day of the board meeting, as per the original plot.
After thinking for a few minutes, Gu Qingqiu opened the door and called out, "Come and see! Shengxiao's fingers can move again!"
A rustling sound came from downstairs, and a few minutes later, a row of servants, family doctors, and caregivers appeared on time at Yan Shengxiao's bedroom door. Even Old Master Yan Mingzhong was helped upstairs by the servants.
The caregiver had already entered the room to check on Yan Shengxiao's physical condition.
Yan Mingzhong stood at the door, his eyes fixed on Yan Shengxiao, who was still lying on the bed. His tone was surprisingly excited. "Are you serious? You're not seeing things, Shengxiao really moved?"
He also knew that things had been turbulent at the company these past few days, and Gu Qingqiu's shout just now did indeed have a "warning" connotation, perhaps it was an act to show the other spies in the family.
Gu Qingqiu's attitude was very firm: "It's true, Grandpa. Actually, I always felt that Shengxiao had regained some consciousness. Sometimes I saw that his hand posture would change slightly, but I didn't see it with my own eyes. I always thought it was my imagination, afraid that I was overthinking and giving everyone hope, only to cause sadness. But just now, I saw his hand move with my own eyes."
"Okay," Yan Mingzhong responded, then waited for the test results.
A few minutes later, the family doctor came out and nodded to Yan Mingzhong. "The young master's vital signs are all normal, and he has indeed regained the ability to perceive external sounds. I suggest talking to him more during this period, which will help him wake up sooner."
