At noon, Mingdai insisted on seeing her parents off.
Although Ming's father said he didn't want it, he kept smiling.
Ming's mother was also very happy.
Before leaving, he gave Mingdai many instructions.
Especially for Mingdai's health, she was advised to take her medicine on time and avoid overexertion.
Ming's mother still hoped that her daughter would not go to work and would stay at home to rest.
"Don't worry, you guys just go and have fun, don't think about anything else."
Mingdai waved goodbye to her parents and watched the plane streak across the sky, suddenly feeling an emptiness in her heart.
She didn't go back to the company; instead, she went to see the general manager's assistant.
The assistant is almost fully recovered; his complexion is rosier than yesterday, and he speaks with more energy.
His girlfriend brought out the fruit and then left.
Mingdai then asked the assistant.
"What did you all eat when you signed the contract that day?"
The assistant had already carefully recalled the events during the past two days when he was feeling unwell.
"It's just some ordinary food. I've eaten at that restaurant many times before, and there's never been a problem."
Mingdai said, "My dad also had vomiting and diarrhea a couple of days ago, and his symptoms were exactly the same as yours."
The assistant was startled.
What do you mean by that?
Mingdai didn't want to be suspicious.
But this is clearly not normal.
"Let's find out privately whether those investors are also feeling uncomfortable."
The assistant was terrified by Mingdai's words, his hair stood on end.
Could it be that he and President Ming were both set up?
It's not easy to find out about this.
The main problem is that I'm not very familiar with the people around the investors.
Lin Yang came to Mingdai's company to find her.
They said they wanted to visit.
Mingdai then took the opportunity to bring up the matter with him.
Lin Yang frowned, but didn't think Ming Dai was overthinking things.
"If that's the case, I did encounter something like that a few years ago. There was a drug on the market that could temporarily numb a person's nerves, which, simply put, controlled a person's behavior and thoughts."
Even in broad daylight, Mingdai felt a chill run through her body.
"Logically speaking, your father and assistant are seasoned veterans when it comes to project documents, so they shouldn't miss such obvious flaws."
Lin Yang felt that there was probably something wrong with this matter.
Mingdai also thought so.
The assistant is truly meticulous and cautious; how could he possibly believe someone else's verbal promises?
Contracts are such meticulous documents, down to every single word; if you're not careful, you can easily get caught in their trap.
It is highly likely that the assistant encountered unforeseen circumstances at the time, such as temporary mental sluggishness and impaired mobility, which led him to fall into the trap set by several investors.
The more Mingdai thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.
She arranged to meet with Sister Le and asked her to help her find out more.
Sister Le was very efficient and gave me an answer that very evening.
"I haven't heard them complain of any discomfort. They've been eating and drinking excessively every day lately, and they're basically entertaining clients every day."
"Not a single day was vacant?"
"No, I asked the people who have been in contact with them in the past few days, and they all said they are in good spirits."
After hanging up the phone, Mingdai quickly told the assistant about the situation.
The assistant was terrified.
"I never expected that I and President Ming would run into such despicable tactics."
Mingdai was still worried about the assistant's health.
"I'll go to the hospital for another check-up tomorrow, a thorough examination from head to toe."
Mingdai was worried about her father who was on vacation.
Make a phone call.
I learned that my father is doing well.
Mingdai, clutching her phone, slumped weakly onto the sofa.
Mo Tingchuan.
You bitch!
That damn bitch!
"Ding-dong~"
There was a knock on the door.
Mingdai did not move.
My stomach is singing the Empty City Stratagem.
She was extremely hungry, but her mind was racing and she couldn't calm down at all.
My phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the screen instinctively.
It was He Yaonian who called.
Mingdai's vulnerability could not be hidden at this moment.
She didn't want to answer; if she did, she knew she wouldn't be able to control herself and would want to confide in someone.
Her thin body curled up in a ball, Mingdai knew that Mo Tingchuan would definitely not dare to break the law.
Yes, that medicine only has some side effects like stomach discomfort.
But if...
"Knock knock knock!"
He Yaonian rang the doorbell but no one answered, and he called but no one answered either, so he got anxious.
They knocked on the door directly.
"Mingdai, I know you're in there. I just heard your phone ring. Open the door for me."
Mingdai jumped up from the sofa.
She was also holding a cushion in her arms.
She stood there blankly, staring at the doorway for a while.
"Mingdai!"
He Yaonian shouted for help without regard for anything else.
Fortunately, this is a detached apartment with a yard; otherwise, if she kept shouting like that, the neighbors would definitely complain about Mingdai.
Even so, Mingdai couldn't let He Yaonian keep shouting like that.
Besides, she really wants to see him right now.
Taking a deep breath, Mingdai put down the cushion, tidied her hair haphazardly, straightened her dress, and then went to open the door.
When He Yaonian opened the door, his finger-knocking motion froze in mid-air.
Mingdai looked down and saw that he was carrying a lunchbox.
"Rolling around~"
My stomach is growling at just the right time.
Mingdai blushed.
He Yaonian carefully examined her, looking her over from head to toe twice.
Mingdai's eyes were a little red, and she knew it herself.
As if nothing had happened, he casually asked He Yaonian, "Why are you here?"
He Yaonian squeezed through the door and closed it behind him.
Mingdai was forced to give up her position.
He Yaonian entered the room, looked around, and then returned his gaze to Mingdai.
"What were you just doing?"
He asked, "Why aren't you answering the phone?"
