Chapter 151 I Promise You
After saying that, Xia Luobing picked up her bag and left. He heard Feng Shuo’s firm voice from behind, “Bing Bing, you will agree. Right now, only I can save your father’s company.”
Charlotte stopped and walked out of the cafe slowly with her back straight. Early summer morning was still cold. The wind blew on her cheeks, but her primal brain did not have the slightest sense of clarity. Could it be that she really had no other choice?
There was a black Lincoln parked on the road opposite the cafe. The man in the car wore wide sunglasses and coldly instructed the driver, “Go back to the hotel.”
Xia Luobing sat in the car in a daze. It took her a long time to insert the key in and start the car. She had to sort it out. Maybe there was another way to save her father’s company.
At noon, Charlotte was about to drive off work to buy milk powder for Duo Duo when her phone rang.
Xia Luobing glanced at Xia Yan and picked up the phone, “Dad, I will …”
“Bing Bing, your father is sick in the hospital. Come quickly!” Wang Xiaoman’s anxious voice came from the phone, mixed with the nurse’s anxious urging voice.
“Which hospital? I’ll be there immediately!”
When Xia Luobing drove all the way to the hospital, Xia Yan had already been rescued from danger, but she still hadn’t woken up.
“What exactly is going on? Why did Dad suddenly faint?” Xia Luobing looked at the much older Xia Yan on the hospital bed and felt her heart tighten.
Because of her mother’s death and Wang Xiaoman, Xia Luobing had always been estranged from Xia Yan. The relationship had only eased up in recent years, but in her impression, her father had always been a strong existence. When did he become so old and fragile? The doctor said that if he hadn’t been sent to the hospital in time, he would have almost been unable to be rescued
So, she almost had no father
Wang Xiaoman wiped away her tears and choked, “Bing Bing, your father was in a hurry because of the company’s affairs. That’s why he …”
Xia Luobing frowned and looked at Wang Xiaoman. This seductive woman who always liked to wear red clothes seemed to have aged a lot, and it was very different from what she remembered.
Ever since Charlotte left City A five years ago, it was as if she had disappeared. She had never given her family any news. Wang Xiaoman was also worried.
Wang Xiaoman sobbed, “Bing Bing, the company is your father’s lifetime of hard work. You can’t just watch as he suddenly becomes destitute at his age …” She wanted to live a good life and Xia Yan to be fine, so she was truly sad at this moment. “Auntie knows that it’s a bit difficult for you to say that, but there’s really no other way …”
Xia Luobing glanced at Xia Yan on the hospital bed. She released her grip and clenched it tightly. Many images flashed in her mind. Finally, she said in a low voice, “Take good care of your father.”
After saying that, Xia Luobing turned around and left the ward. He heard Wang Xiaoman shouting anxiously, “Bing Bing, where are you going …”
The smell of disinfectant was everywhere in the hospital. The white walls, the nurses in white coats shuttling between the haggard patients, exuded a depressed aura everywhere. It made Xia Luobing feel as if her heart was tightly gripped by someone, and she felt painful to scratch one by one.
“Feng Shuo, I agree to your conditions.” After saying that, Xia Luobing hung up the phone and collapsed into a chair in the corridor of the hospital. The corner of her mouth was filled with helplessness as she muttered, “I’m sorry …”
It was as if an invisible hand was manipulating her, pushing her to a similar intersection to make a similar choice. Her heart was tormented by hot oil, and every minute and second was a painful torture.
Half an hour later, Xia Luobing saw Feng Shuo at the entrance of the hospital. He was still wearing the suit and coat of the morning. The excitement on his face could not be concealed.
“Bing Bing, I will help my uncle’s company through the difficulties. You can rest assured.” Feng Shuo said excitedly. He reached out and grabbed Xia Luobing’s arm. He didn’t get angry when she avoided him. He continued, “I’ll go back to the company to deal with this matter immediately. I’ll come find you later.”
Charlotte looked at Feng Shuo expressionlessly. Her voice was so quiet that it seemed like it would be blown away by the wind at any moment. “Feng Shuo, are you really going to do this? I still have flowers.”
“Bing Bing, I’ve been waiting for you for five years. I don’t want to continue waiting like this.” Feng Shuo restrained his emotions and stared at Xia Luobing, expressing his attitude, “As for the child, I will treat her well, but we will also have our own child, right?”
Xia Luobing hated the way Feng Shuo looked at him. He turned his head away and said, “When the Xia Corporation passes through the crisis, I will fulfill my promise.”
“No problem.” Feng Shuo agreed straightforwardly and took a deep look at Xia Luobing. The corner of his mouth curled up, “Bing Bing, I believe you.”
Feng Shuo drove away excitedly. After waiting for so many years, Xia Luobing was finally going to return to him.
“Have the CFO come in.” As soon as Feng Shuo entered the president’s office, he notified his secretary, Linda, “Immediately.”
Linda’s figure was enchanting, but she had a pure face. Upon hearing Feng Shuo’s instructions, she gently replied, “Alright, President Feng.”
Ever since she became Feng Shuo’s Principal Secretary, her heart had been tied to this man. Unfortunately, this man never paid attention to her, but it didn’t matter. After all, he didn’t have any women around him. As long as his sexual orientation was normal, she would definitely get what she wanted.
Linda knocked on the CFO’s door and said, “Director Hua, President Feng, please come over.”
Hua Jian looked up at Linda, his eyes burning, “Alright, I’ll be right there.”
Linda twisted her body and pretended not to see Hua Jian’s eyes on her. This man with small eyes always stared at her with eyes that seemed like he was going to burn people to ashes. How disgusting.
Hua Jian licked his lips and stood up to head to the CEO’s office. After passing through the secretarial room, he did not forget to look at Linda who was lowering her head and typing the keyboard. The waves in the deep V-neck were dazzling.
“Director Hua, President Feng will be angry if he gets anxious.” Linda coughed softly and said with a cold face, “You’d better hurry inside!”
“Thank you, Linda, for reminding me.” Hua Jian reached out and knocked on Fenghuo’s office door. When he heard the sound of “please enter” coming from inside, he pushed the door open and entered. Hearing this, Big Boss was in a good mood.
Seeing Hua Jian, Feng Shuo asked, “How much money can the company use now?”
“Five billion.” Hua Jian said truthfully. He looked at Feng Shuo, who was in good spirits, and said cautiously, “Does Feng always want to develop new projects?”
The current Feng Corporation had already left the other companies in City A far behind. If Feng Shuo wanted to develop other projects, it would be reasonable.
Feng Shuo shook his head, “Prepare the money. I can use it.”
Hua Jian asked doubtfully, “President Feng, are you …”
“I want to inject capital into the Xia Corporation.” Feng Shuo said indifferently, “It’s about two billion yuan. You should greet the bank in advance.”
Because of Xia Luobing, he had been paying attention to the news of the Xia Corporation. He was sure that two billion yuan was enough to bring the Xia Corporation back to life. He felt that it was very worthwhile to use this two billion yuan to accomplish a goal that had not been achieved in five years.
Hua Jian’s expression changed drastically as he shook his head, “President Feng, there is only an empty shell left in the Xia Corporation now. If we inject capital into it now, it will be very risky, and it is very likely that we will lose all our money.”
“Is it that serious?” Feng Shuo raised his eyebrows. Obviously, he did not believe that Xia Yan was not a piece of cake. How could he let his company become like this?
Hua Jian nodded his head with certainty, “President Feng, it’s true. I have a friend who works for the Xia Corporation. He said it personally, and it is said that someone has already started to buy a large amount of shares in the Xia Corporation. Now that we have suddenly intervened, it will not be beneficial to our company.”
Feng Shuo slender said that he only lightly knocked on the table. After a moment of hesitation, he said in a deep voice, “Investigate this matter immediately. I want detailed information, including the company behind the scenes that secretly bought shares in the Xia Corporation.”
Although he could not care less about the two billion for Xia Luobing, he could not watch his money go to waste. Xia Luobing also said that he would not fulfill his promise until the company came back from the dead … But in City A, which company would dare to take over such a mess as the Xia Corporation?
In the hospital, Xia Yan had already woken up from his coma. When he saw Xia Luobing guarding the hospital bed, he sighed, “Bing Bing, the company is finished.”
Although he had already prepared for the worst, he was still deeply shocked by what had happened. That was why he was unable to lift his head and faint in one breath.
“Dad, the company will be fine. You can rest assured and recover. I will take care of it.” Xia Luobing stood up and poured a glass of water for Xia Yan.
Xia Yan hesitated for a moment before taking a sip of water and looking at Xia Luobing, “Bing Bing, have you gone to find Feng Shuo? However, it’s useless to find Feng Shuo in this matter …”
“Dad, what are you talking about?” Xia Luobing asked puzzledly. She had never seen such a depressed and disappointed expression on Xia Yan’s face before. She couldn’t help but worry, “What exactly happened?”
Xia Yan put the cup aside and looked at Xia Luobing and sighed, “Bing Bing, the company has been bought. Dad has already signed it.”
It was precisely because of this that he completely fainted after holding his breath until he got home.
“Dad, why is this happening?” Xia Luobing was both anxious and angry, “The company is your lifetime’s work, you …”
She had already made up her mind to agree to Feng Shuo, but how did things end up like this?
Xia Yan held Xia Luobing’s hand and smiled bitterly, “If I knew you were living like this, five years ago, Dad shouldn’t have forcefully kept the company.”
He has dragged his daughter down for the company once and can’t drag her down a second time.
His daughter understood that she was still thinking about Huo Yunqi. It would not be happy to barely be with Feng Shuo like this, and Duo Duo was still so small
The ward was very quiet. Her nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Her eyes were so irritating that she couldn’t help but want to cry. After a while, she raised her head and smiled farfetched, “Dad, why …”
Dad still loved her. Even though he had done many things that hurt her and her mother, he still loved her. That was why he was willing to give up the company.
“Bing Bing, you still have a 50% stake in the company. Even if the company is no longer ours, you and Duo Duo will be able to live well in the future.” Xia Yan held his daughter’s hand and whispered, “Anyway, Dad is old, so it’s very difficult to manage the company. This is good …”
