‘Bang!’
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Dongfang Liuyun leaned back against the sofa tiredly. She took out the folder in her briefcase with one hand, opened it, and started flipping through it.
After being busy for a while, she finally managed to temporarily stabilize Tai Yu Corporation. The entire company could be considered to have returned to normal. Wang Chun had also helped out a lot during this period of time.
Looking at the data on the document, she felt slightly relieved.
She did not think too much about it. With Qi Lei’s current situation, she did not know what she could do. She could not just wait for news. She always wanted to do something for him.
So, recently, she had put almost all her energy into Tai Yu Corporation because she thought that the only thing she could do was to protect his hard work.
As for the Dongfang Group, she did not ask too much because she needed to wait for the right time.
However, the situation over there seemed to be very bad now. Aunt Dongfang Xue had called just now.
Dongfang Ren really supported Dongfang Rou’er and the Jin family fully supported her. Although Dongfang Yi’s voice was not small, he could not solve this urgent matter. Dongfang Rou’er is soon to become the acting president, Lin Yuanyuan also took up an important position in the company.
Now, they were only waiting for the shareholders’ meeting after the New Year. At that time, all the major shareholders’ executives would return to the headquarters for a meeting. Only when the resolution is passed at the meeting could they truly determine who was in charge.
Dongfang Liuyun was actually also waiting for this day.
Just as she flipped through a few pages of the document, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Dongfang Liuyun looked up and saw—
It was a call from Lan Xiu.
“Hello, Lan Xiu?”
Dongfang Liuyun quickly picked up the call.
“I’m at your door right now. Is it convenient for you to come in and have a seat?”
Lan Xiu’s gentle voice was soon heard.
Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a moment, but she quickly recovered. “Okay, I’ll get Mama Wang to open the door for you.”
…
A moment later, Dongfang Liuyun went downstairs and saw Lan Xiu walking in wearing a cold outfit.
“Take a seat! Mama Wang, get President Lan a cup of hot water.”
Dongfang Liuyun looked at Lan Xiu and pointed to the sofa beside her as she instructed.
“Yes, Missus!”
Not long after, Mama Wang brought a cup of hot water over.
Lan Xiu also sat down on the sofa beside Dongfang Liuyun.
His eyes were filled with worry. He sized up Dongfang Liuyun before saying, “You’ve lost a lot of weight.”
“How can one not lose weight when encountered with something like this?”
Dongfang Liuyun smiled nonchalantly. “It’s so late. Why did you come over?”
“I was worried about you, so I came over to take a look. I went to see Uncle Dongfang this morning. I know that his condition is quite stable. You don’t have to worry too much. Qi Lei will be fine.”
Lan Xiu also knew how he could comfort her.
“Yes, don’t worry. I’m not that weak. I’ve been too busy recently, so I couldn’t care about much.”
“Don’t wear yourself out. Otherwise, even Qi Lei will be worried if he finds out. I also know about Ye looking for you. Don’t blame him. It’s not a good thing for him to be too stubborn I hope it won’t cause you any trouble. In fact, from the moment you agreed to Qi Lei, him and i have already lost. It’s just that we’re still unwilling to believe the truth. We still have hope in our hearts.”
As Lan Xiu said this, he fixed his gaze on Dongfang Liuyun. Dongfang Liuyun just quietly lowered her eyes.
“If only he could think like you.”
Dongfang Liuyun forced a smile. She had rarely thought about Fujiwara these past few days.
She had fallen deeply in love before, but perhaps not as deeply as she had imagined. So, after some time, all her passion had settled down, and she had gotten used to it. Then, she realized that she could still fall in love with someone else.
“No matter how deep your relationship is, it won’t be a dead end. Just because you can’t get the person in front of you doesn’t mean that you won’t meet another in the future. You have to keep going like this. Don’t be too hard on yourself, and you’ll realize that your capacity for feelings could be expanded.”
Dongfang liuyun said faintly, “We’re all smart people, aren’t we?”
Lan Xiu smiled and looked at her for a long time before taking a deep breath. “Don’t make things too difficult for yourself… Everyone wants to do this, but it’s very difficult to do it.”
Saying this, Lan Xiu suddenly reached into his briefcase and took out a few documents and a black card. He handed it to Dongfang Liuyun
“I know about the Dongfang Group’s situation, but I don’t know what I can do. These are my savings from all these years. You can take them. The Dongfang Group is the blood and sweat of Grandfather and Grandmother, and also Uncle Dongfang’s hard work. You can’t let it fall. Oh right, I just came back from Ah Ye’s side. He’s investigating your doubts. If it really has something to do with him, he’ll give you a satisfactory answer.”
Dongfang Liuyun was a little stunned when she heard this.
“There’s no need for that. You should keep it for yourself. I can still handle it. If there’s a need, I won’t be stingy with my words. I’m already ashamed of being a Vice President and not doing anything. I can’t take your things anymore.” Dongfang Liuyun immediately refused.
“Money is just a worldly possession. It’s more important that I can help you get through this difficult time.”
Lan Xiu just put the things down. “You don’t have to be polite with me. I’m also helping you as your elder brother. If you successfully get through this difficult time, when Qi Lei returns, just let him reward me properly.”
Lan Xiu smiled in relief.
His warm smile entered Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes, and her heart suddenly felt warm
Actually, they had always been like this. Every time they were in a critical moment, he would always help without hesitation.
“Thank you, Lan Xiu! But there’s really no need. I’m not in a rush for funds. I can still handle things on Qi Lei’s end…”
“Take it first. Maybe he’ll need it in time. We’ll talk about it after things calm down. Oh right, Zhou Zimo’s wedding seems to be happening soon. I know he has a good relationship with Qi Lei. You…”
“I know. He’s Qi Lei’s good friend. Since Qi Lei isn’t around, I naturally have to go over on his behalf.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not forget about this matter of course. She had already asked Secretary Ding to prepare a generous gift a few days ago.
“Mmm, do you need me to come and pick you up?”
Lan Xiu could be considered from the industry too. Zhou Zimo had also given him an invitation card.
“No need. I’ll go with Xi Xiaye and the others. Xi Xiaye called this morning and said she’d come and pick me up.”
Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye?
When he knew about this, Lan Xiu was relieved. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye had a good reputation in the industry. They were also Qi Lei’s good friends. It seemed like this was most suitable too.
