Chapter 896: Chapter 896: Of Course You Have to Beg Me to Go Back (9)
These words of his weren’t finished before Tang Sili began laughing.
Clearly, this person didn’t understand his boss’s wife at all.
How could Gu Nuan possibly refuse to give the old crocodile treatment merely out of concern for his privacy? After all, he’s her husband’s biological father.
The pros and cons Tang Sili spoke of were naturally much more than this.
Gu Nuan’s attention was instead focused on Tang Sili’s face.
Of course, Tang Sili didn’t dare laugh outwardly, only internally. He understood her glance too, warning him not to become too complacent, as showing off would come at a price.
Seeing him calm and quiet, Gu Nuan then turned back to the family doctor, saying, "An ailment of the heart needs a remedy of the heart; solving a problem requires confronting its cause. Every medicine has its toxicity. Someone will be coming to stay here later, and they will gradually bring vitality to the chairman."
The family doctor was left speechless.
Xiao Shuju asked, "Sister-in-law, who else is coming to stay?"
"The eldest niece and nephew of the third sister."
Oh, she was referring to Zhao Mengjin. Xiao Shuju didn’t oppose this, having long contemplated changing allegiances once she knew the Ou Family was interested in Zhao Mengjin.
After dealing with Xiao Jianming’s issue, Gu Nuan began instructing the Xiao Family’s butler, saying, "You know the charity foundation personnel of the Xiao Family?"
"Yes." The Xiao butler nodded, having dealt with charity matters during Xiao Jianming’s coma alongside the old madam, "The foundation’s chairman is named Hong. Does the young madam want me to call Chairman Hong?"
"Yes, ask him to come by here."
The butler acknowledged and left.
Gu Nuan then asked others, "While the chairman is recuperating here, I heard the old madam was transferred out of the hospital. Where is she now?"
However, it seemed no one here could answer this question.
As all eyes ultimately fell on her, Xiao Shuju had to step forward, saying, "Neither dad nor anybody told us where grandmother is recuperating. I did ask dad, and all he said was, ’about the same’."
’About the same,’ the deeper meaning of this is profound.
This could mean that the place where the old madam is recuperating now is similar to the previous Mingxin medical facility or perhaps similar to the current Xiao Family environment.
Regardless, with Xiao Shuju’s wisdom, she could not discern the intended location behind Xiao Jianming’s words.
Just then, the Xiao butler returned after making the phone call to report back to Gu Nuan: "Chairman Hong says he’s on a business trip, just happens to be outside and can’t return promptly. May I ask what’s the matter, young madam?"
Even Gu Nuan didn’t need to say it; even the otherwise clueless Xiao Shuju could discern the meaning behind these words.
It was clearly an excuse; they weren’t taking Gu Nuan seriously.
Gu Nuan didn’t even hum through her nose.
Xiao Shuju, seeing her calm and composed demeanor, didn’t dare to interfere, blinking her eyes.
Gu Nuan spoke, her tone very ordinary, but her words were anything but, directly addressing the Xiao butler: "Tell him, if he doesn’t show up here today, tomorrow his foundation might be out of money."
Hiss—Xiao Shuju drew a cold breath.
Gu Jinrong, this is even harsher than the old crocodile.
Removing you as chairman serves no purpose; it’s better to directly cut off your resources. After all, without money, what does your chairmanship count for?
Nothing can decide everything more than money does.
Even the Xiao butler couldn’t help but glance admiringly at Gu Nuan, responding, "Yes, young madam." He was just about to turn around.
"Wait a moment," said Gu Nuan.
The Xiao butler turned his head and met Gu Nuan’s gaze; in that instant, his heart trembled, and he lowered his head.
"In the future, you know how to handle this kind of thing, there’s no need to ask me again. I don’t like to keep useless people around here."
Everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.
This young madam, who had officially taken charge of the Xiao Family, clearly possessed an intensity that surpassed even that of the old crocodile and old madam, making her seem much more formidable and fearsome.
Gu Nuan had her reasons for acting this way; her own health was precarious, and she could collapse at any time. When that time comes, during the period of her convalescence, it wouldn’t do for everything to fall apart just because she’s not around.
Given the current extraordinary times, everyone must understand this. Working here means understanding the need to shoulder responsibilities together with the head of this place.
The Xiao butler nodded heavily, and after understanding her painstaking efforts, instead of harboring complaints, felt even deeper trust, something the old madam and old crocodile couldn’t have offered him before.
Before undertaking the next tasks, Gu Nuan planned to take a nap. She then headed towards the bedroom.
Xiao Jianming’s room was on the second floor, so she chose a room on the first floor.
Xiao Shuju followed her into her room, personally tidying up her bedding. As she finished arranging the covers and turned around, she suddenly found Gu Nuan staring at her face.
"What’s wrong?" Xiao Shuju, a bit puzzled, touched her face with her hand.
Gu Nuan thought to herself, in the end, she is his sister, and hence they have similar eyebrows and noses.
Chen Jiaming and Zhong Qiaohui stormed back to Changda headquarters, paving the way for Gu Nuan to take charge of Changda.
Currently, the news of Xiao Shulan’s incident had spread, causing unrest inside and outside the company. The board of directors was already collectively waiting for the Xiao Family’s decision.
However, according to Gu Nuan’s intent, the directors’ matters were to be put on hold.
Chen Jiaming instructed to notify all company executives to prepare for a meeting.
