Part Two: The Great Sugar of Dongtu, Chapter 202: Tingting

ctor Xiao can secure this project, it will be another milestone in her career. 。Zhou Ming patiently explained to Shu Tinglan. 。Although Shu Tinglan and Zhu Yuanan had two intimate encounters, she did...Zhaoting thought he wouldn't dare play dirty with him, after all, this person was someone he had brought up himself. He supported him every year with his savings, unless he wanted to quit his job.

On this side, the loan has been delayed indefinitely. The company's shareholders are not cooperative either, strongly opposing him mortgaging these projects for a loan. He's in Senzhou, making dozens of calls a day, but he doesn't answer any of them. Now that he's back in Southwest, he hasn't returned to the company and avoids them. After finishing his social engagements, he ran to his grandmother's place to find some peace and quiet.

I had a bit too much to drink at the dinner party last night and didn't want to disturb the old lady, so I went back to my room to sleep. It wasn't until the next day when I woke up that I found no one was home. The old lady was gone, and only a maid was cleaning. When she saw me suddenly appear, she jumped in fright, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao."

"Where's the old woman" His voice was hoarse, a result of last night's drinking. His throat felt like sandpaper, dry as a bone.

The servant quickly poured him a glass of warm water but stammered and didn't answer his question.

"Going back to the mountains" He took a sip of water, his throat feeling a little better. He thought to himself, what an amazing old lady she was, enjoying the good life.

"No, I haven't returned to the mountains. The old woman has been sick these past few days and is in the hospital. We weren't allowed to tell you."

He frowned: "What's going on"

As he was asking, the man also walked out. His temples were throbbing. He knew the old woman; she normally wouldn't go to the hospital even for minor illnesses.

The maid, seeing his face turn grim, backed away two steps and accompanied him to the hospital.

All the way, she didn't dare to speak. When Zhao Tingxing asked a question, she would answer with a word or two, but it was unclear what was wrong with her.

"How could he faint like this"

The maid stammered again. When Zhao Tingxing glared at her, she was scared and took a step back before speaking: "A while ago, people from your company came to the house every day to look for the old lady, asking her to call you back. They came all day long, following the old lady from morning till night..."

These bastards, what's the point of bullying an old woman

The hospital was just around the corner, and we arrived quickly. Before I could even see Grandma, I saw that group of old men sitting in the corridor outside the ward, led by Old Chen. They were making a lot of noise, but the moment they saw me, they fell silent and all looked at me.

He was furious, striding towards them with a menacing aura, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure.

"He's so embarrassing, he got himself hospitalized for this. What's the point of bullying an old lady"

"Lao Chen: 'We just heard the old lady was hospitalized because she was sick, so we came to see her.'"

Zhaotingxing: "It's your turn to speak this time All of you, get out! If any of you dare disturb Old Madam again, don't blame me for being rude."

Although Lao Chen was driven out of the company, his prestige remained. And at this time, he represented the interests of all shareholders of the group, so he was confident. Since he dared to bring people here to block him, he wasn't afraid of him, so he didn't mean to leave. Instead, he said seriously: "Go see the old lady first, and we'll talk after you."

Zhao Tingxing had never been threatened in his life, except by his grandmother, who was his only weakness. At this moment, the old woman probably also heard the noise outside and asked the maid inside to call him. He then went into the ward.

The old woman was already elderly, and after falling ill this time, she lay in bed, looking frail. Thankfully, her spirits seemed alright, which eased Zhao Tingxing's tightly wound nerves somewhat.

The old woman is his root. As long as she's around, he has a place to belong. If she were gone, he'd truly be a stray animal without a home.

No matter how powerful and domineering he is outside, in front of her, he's just an ordinary man.

"I'm fine, don't worry." The old woman comforted him.

She was unwilling to come to the city with him at first, preferring to live in the mountains. She had foreseen this situation, and the elder saw through everything. It wasn't easy for him to work outside, and his personality made him easily offend people, so there were bound to be those who would use him. Therefore, she didn't want to be a burden to him.

Zhao Tingxing had a tough personality, but he cared deeply. However, he couldn't bring himself to say anything kind or comforting. He just nodded and then told someone to call the doctor. He carefully inquired about the condition.

She wasn't in serious trouble, just that she was elderly and used to a quiet life. Suddenly, being bothered by people every day, pressuring her to call Zhao Tingxing back, overwhelmed her. She always protected Zhao Tingxing fiercely and refused to give in. After being harassed for several days, her heart couldn't take it anymore and she fainted.

Whether she's in the hospital or not, as long as there are doctors looking after her, once the door to the ward is closed, no one can disturb her.

Rather than being bothered by outsiders, the old woman was more concerned about what had happened to him and why he was avoiding people from the company.

Seeing her worried expression, Zhao Tingxing said, "Business matters are nothing to worry about. What's most important is for you to take care of your health. That's the biggest help you can give me."

The elderly person knows their own body. Age is there, and while there aren't any major issues, each organ has started to gradually malfunction. They won't live for many years. She doesn't really care about business matters. The money she earns is enough for her to spend a lifetime. More wouldn't be of use; you can't bring anything into death, nor take anything out. Her true thoughts are that it would be better if the business was smaller, so she could have time to think about personal issues.

Thinking about his personal issues, he added: "Han Li came to see me the other day and said the same thing. She told me to take care of my health so you can rest easy. She understands you best."

"Did she come to see you"

Zhao Tingxing thought of that woman, then of Lao Chen outside. His heart suddenly tightened. No wonder Lao Chen didn't work in the company and dared to bring people to the door to make a fuss. Was it because that woman had instigated him

She works diligently beneath Gu Ruandong, truly putting her all into it.

"Though she was wrong to leave you back then and hurt you, looking back now, her choice was the right one. If she hadn't left, you might have stayed stuck in this small town for your whole lives with no real prospects."

"You're always ready to make excuses for her. Abandoning someone is abandoning them, there's no need for such pretentious justifications."

The old woman sighed inwardly and stopped talking. She had been abandoned since birth, then when she saw her biological parents in elementary school, they abandoned her again. She finally liked a girl, but was rejected by her. This hurt in her heart, it was difficult to get over, and it was hard to open up to people again.

As he walked out of the ward, his face was grim. Seeing Lao Chen and several other company veterans made him even more displeased. But in order to avoid them bothering his grandmother any further, he had no choice but to go to the company.

Everyone followed him to the company and all let out a long sigh of relief.

Everyone chimed in, analyzing the pros and cons with him. They said doing this was too risky; one wrong move and he'd end up dying a terrible death. After all, everyone had aging parents and young children to care for, and they couldn't afford to have him go through such turmoil.

Zhao Tingxing burst into laughter. "What's it to you You have elders and juniors, it has nothing to do with me. This company is mine, I can handle it however I please, it's none of your business."

He has always been headstrong, this isn't a new thing. His life pursuit isn't stability, but excitement. Because when things are stable for too long, people become numb and lose their drive. These old guys, they've followed him, eating meat for so many years, now that you want them to take on a little risk, they start complainingetrial in Xu Wei's case, they wouldn't have any options left but to wait.Yi Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.“Where are we going today I'll go with you.”"Are you coming to Senzhou Is it okay with the...
