Zong Yuhai's eyes lit up, and he took the document and looked through it, "Really? How much more do they plan to invest?"

Lining pointed to the financial clauses on the document, and couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, "Look!"

Zong Yuhai squinted his eyes and read it again, the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger, "Stinky boy, he did a good thing!"

Zong Yuhai and Chu Chengtian are friends who grew up together. In the early years, the Chu family moved overseas to make a living and achieved some success. Now they are also well-known in the red wine industry.

The Zong family is larger than the Chu family.

The Zong family made their fortune by running a department store and accumulated a considerable fortune. Now they have investments in various industries and are making a lot of money.

In the past two years, with the rise of live streaming e-commerce and new retail, the Zong family's main business has been impacted, making the conservative and stubborn Zong Yuhai very dissatisfied.

During the board chairman election some time ago, Zong Yuhai reconnected with many old friends, which gave him new ideas.

If you want to make money in business, all you have to do is reduce costs and raise prices.

Now that we are impacted by new industries and cannot raise sales prices, reducing costs has become the most effective way.

Zong Yuhai thought about it and felt that alcohol was a good business, so he contacted Chu Chengtian.

The Chu family is now quite large, and Chu Chengtian is old and has lost his ambition.

He also knew that if he continued to live like this, he would end up with nothing, but his sons were not doing well.

After much thought, he decided to target his son-in-law.

In this generation of the Zong family, the most outstanding young person is Zong Du.

Sure enough, as soon as Zong Yuhai made some moves, the news of Zong's development of new wine products spread, the stock price hit the daily limit one after another, and the board of directors was extremely satisfied with him.

Seeing Zong Yuhai laughing so happily, Li Ning asked cautiously, "But... Mr. Zong, does Mr. Zong have any objection to our hype?"

It's not that he's a piece of shit, but that Zong Du is a really weird person.

He never cooperates with publicity hype and even hates the use of media opinion to enhance the company's reputation.

This time, President Zong basically acted without prior approval and used Zong Du's personal reputation to promote the company.

Is Zong Du willing?

Zong Yuhai snorted, "Why, he is not happy, can he still beat me? He is in the Zong family, and his life was given by the Zong family! He should be grateful that he is still useful, otherwise I would not have done that back then-"

Zong Yuhai suddenly stopped and glared at Lining, "Get out!"

...

After staying in the hospital for another four days, the doctor allowed Xi Yu to be discharged.

Li Rui came early in the morning to handle the formalities and sent her to the apartment.

"The house was cleaned yesterday, and fresh food was added to the refrigerator. In addition, I will ask the hotel to deliver nutritious meals over the next week. I won't deliver brunch today, and will start with dinner."

Li Rui put Xi Yu's dirty clothes into the washing machine and said, "I will go home tonight. The dance troupe's affairs can be dealt with tomorrow."

Xi Yu couldn't help but sigh that Zong Du was good at taking care of people.

Li Rui handles both public and private affairs and handles things in an orderly manner.

She is just a little assistant but she is so capable. I can’t imagine how useful Lu Rangde is.

After thanking Li Rui, Xi Yu saw her out.

Then she quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when she lay down on the bed, she couldn't help rubbing the sheets.

Although I was staying in a VIP ward, how could a hospital bed compare to one at home?

Burying himself lazily in the quilt, Xi Yu felt as if his body was about to melt.

The warm sunlight shone in from the French windows, and Xi Yu felt that every pore of his body was opened.

The sound of the air conditioner operating slowly in the quiet space is like the best hypnotic music, making people drowsy.

Xi Yu closed his eyes and his breathing slowed down...

A moment.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.

Can't sleep.

He reached for his phone and opened the text message from Lu Rang.

Ever since she was injured, Zong Du has never appeared in front of her again.

...

He slept so soundly that it was already evening when Xi Yu woke up.

Feeling dizzy from sleep, Xi Yu rubbed his temples and got up from the bed.

I touched my phone and found that Li Rui had sent me a text message in the afternoon, telling me that the studio registration was successful.

Cui Tiantian happened to call at this time. When Xi Yi picked up the phone, the other party screamed in a high-pitched voice, "Sister Xi Yi, we succeeded! We have our own studio!"

Xi Yu couldn't help laughing, "Registration isn't an elimination system. As long as you follow the procedures, you're bound to succeed, right? Why are you so surprised?"

"You don't know, this studio has a special meaning to me!"

Xi Yu smiled knowingly, "To me too."

"By the way, Fang Mo called me just now and said there was a performance opportunity. I'll go meet him and talk about it later. If it's suitable, we'll take it?"

"Answer it," Xi Yu said firmly, "You happen to be at school, so talk to him in person."

After hanging up the phone, Xi Yu took out a watermelon from the refrigerator and planned to squeeze a glass of juice.

Just as I cut it open, the phone rang again.

Seeing that it was Lu Rang calling, Xi Yu walked to the window with the phone and answered, "Hello?"

"Miss Xi," Lu Rang said in a hoarse voice, "I know you are out of the hospital. If you have time... could you please come and see the young master?"

Lu Rang's tone was not good and he sounded very tired.

Xi Yu was startled, "What happened to the young master?"

"I can't really say," Lu Rang sighed, his voice a little muffled, "but I think there's a problem."

"Mr. Lu," Xi Yu interrupted him, "It's not that I don't want to go. You should know why I went to the hospital before. Are you sure that the young master wants to see me?"

Xi Yu felt that in Zong Du's eyes, he was probably just a fickle and cheap woman.

Lu Rang didn't know what happened between the two that night, and was a little surprised to hear Xi Yu say this, "Why do you think the young master doesn't want to see you?"

"...Um?"

"Miss Xi, you don't seem to know how much the young master values you."

value?

How to value it?

What's important in bed?

The one who was covered in bruises and almost died in his bed?

Lu Rang opened his mouth to explain, but then he held back.

"I have no right to interfere in the affairs between you two. I can only say that... Miss Xi's opinion of the young master is somewhat biased. If possible, I hope you can... learn more about the young master."

Xi Yu didn't say anything.

"I'm calling now just to ask Miss Xi to come to the hotel." Then he added, "Just to come and see him."

Xi Yu looked out the window.

As the lights come on, the surging traffic rushes towards home.

After a few seconds of silence, Xi Yu said, "Come and pick me up."

Lu Rang drove over and took Xi Yu to the hotel.

No one spoke on the way, and the silence made Xi Yu feel a little nervous.

Lu Rang sent Xi Yu to the elevator but did not follow him in. "I'll wait for you downstairs. If you have anything, call me."

Just as the elevator door was about to close, Xi Yu suddenly pressed the door-opening button and called out to Lu Rang, "What happened to Zong Du?"
