Xia Ran didn't dare tell his grandfather about it, otherwise he was afraid his grandfather would be so angry that he would die.
Grandpa Xia nodded, "It's alright. We'll encourage him to visit often when he has time. Dr. Lin is a good person too."
"Yes, Grandpa, you should rest well and try to get better as soon as possible. We still want to go on a trip."
Xia Ran spoke with a smile, but Da Zhuang did not believe what Xia Ran said. However, he could tell that Xia Ran did not want his grandfather to know, so he kept his doubts to himself.
At this moment, Gu Zheng was about to leave the company. Qin Hao, who had finally managed to relax and lie on the sofa to look at his phone, was so frightened when he saw that Gu Zheng was about to leave that he immediately stood up.
"Brother! Are you getting ready to leave? No, let's chat a little longer!"
His screams were so heartbreaking they could only be described as utter grief. In any case, he was very comfortable during the half-day his brother was with him.
Even if he can't go back to the comfort he used to have, he's still content!
Gu Zheng looked coldly at Qin Hao, "If I see you working this slowly again, I'll send you to some remote subsidiary for training. It's just some ordinary documents, yet you've taken so long."
These words silenced Qin Hao instantly. He dared not say anything more and could only watch helplessly as Gu Zheng left.
After Gu Zheng left, Qin Hao let out a heart-wrenching cry!
"When will this damn life ever end?!"
He walked towards his office chair, sobbing as he spoke, and found some solace when he saw that there was only one file left.
At least today's task can be a little easier.
However, just thinking about how Gu Zheng had said he was slow made him feel incredibly wronged.
He's slow? How is he slow? It's clearly his brother who's inhuman! Talk about it now, who's as amazing as his brother? Doesn't he get tired of looking at so many documents all day long!
He's been working day and night on business, and to save time, he hasn't even gone home.
While it's true that part of the reason is that his parents don't want him to go back, if he really wanted to go back, his parents wouldn't just throw him out, would they?
Ultimately, it was because he wanted to work hard and help his brother handle affairs so that his brother could win Xia Ran back.
Look, look! With a younger brother as good as him, the mythical beasts of the Nanfeng clan would probably all be extinct in this world!
Qin Hao felt increasingly aggrieved, and his hand unconsciously reached for his phone to open WeChat, intending to confide in someone and seek some comfort.
When Qin Hao sent out a meme with a face that looked like he was feeling very wronged, he realized, damn it, that he had just sent the message to Lin Yi!
“…”
Is it too late for him to withdraw now?
Qin Hao's hands trembled as he tried to click "undo," but somehow he accidentally clicked "delete" instead!
"………ah!"
Qin Hao lowered his head and slammed his fist on the table frantically, the pitiful sound startling his assistant outside.
"Mr. Qin, what's wrong? What happened?"
The assistant rushed in, but Qin Hao was still slumped in his chair, raising his hand and waving it weakly.
"It's nothing, you can go now."
"...Yes." Although the assistant felt a little strange, he still went out.
After all, when President Gu left, he told him to assist President Qin properly and not to interfere with President Qin's decisions, unless President Qin's plans were too absurd, in which case he should call him.
It was obvious from the beginning that they wanted to give young President Qin some valuable experience.
After his assistant left, Qin Hao looked up at his phone, tears welling up in his eyes.
If Lin Yi saw this meme he posted, he would definitely laugh at him mercilessly!
Chapter 296 Concern or Illusion?
The moment Qin Hao had this thought, a question mark appeared on his WeChat chat page with Lin Yi.
Seeing this greeting, Qin Hao felt even more ashamed that he had embarrassed himself right at his own doorstep.
Damn it! If his parents found out he did something so stupid, they might not let him into their house.
But what can he do now? Can he simply not reply?
But if he doesn't reply, won't Lin Yi think he's crazy? Otherwise, why would he just send a question mark and then ignore people?
But if he were to reply, what would he say?
Lin Yi on the other end must have seen that he hadn't replied, so he sent another voice message.
Qin Hao's hands trembled as he opened the voice chat, and Lin Yi's pleasant voice rang out.
"What's wrong? What happened? Were you bullied?"
Qin Hao wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he actually heard a hint of concern in Lin Yi's words...
Qin Hao rolled his eyes. What a load of rubbish! An illusion! It's all an illusion! How could Lin Yi possibly care about him!
However, Qin Hao's mood seemed to improve inexplicably, and he also figured out how to reply to Lin Yi.
"It's nothing, I just got a blow. My brother just said I'm too slow at handling things, and that if I don't improve, he'll send me to some godforsaken place to train."
After sending that message, Qin Hao secretly sent the same emoji as above.
However, this time it wasn't a "I feel wronged" expression, but an expression of tears streaming down my face.
After sending it out, Qin Hao started talking to himself.
"I've had a few meals with Lin Yi, so we should be friends by now. It's normal for me to confide in him, right?"
Qin Hao's voice became increasingly guilty as he spoke.
Actually, it seems that his relationship with Lin Yi wasn't good enough for him to confide in her.
But……
Qin Hao's gaze fell on the chat page between the two. It had already been sent, and Lin Yi must have seen it. Moreover, a minute had passed and it was impossible to take it back.
On the other side, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment when he saw Qin Hao's message and expression. Then he couldn't help but chuckle, looking very happy.
When Lin Yi's assistant saw that his boss was actually smiling, he was dumbfounded.
What is their boss chatting with? He seems to be in a very good mood.
Lin read Qin Hao's message over and over again, and no matter how she looked at it, she could see the grievance in it.
This also put Lin Yi in a good mood, as it proved that Qin Hao's attitude towards him and the distance between them had grown considerably.
Otherwise, why would she take the initiative to chat with him and confide in him?
After thinking for a moment, he typed a message over and even downloaded a few sets of cat emojis.
He never used emojis before, but seeing that Qin Hao sent cat emojis twice, it seems that Qin Hao must really like them.
If Lin Yi knew that Qin Hao had only accidentally sent the message to the wrong person, I wonder if he would still be so happy.
Qin Hao kept staring at the phone screen, his persistent gaze making it seem as if he wanted to stare a hole through it!
He was wondering how Lin would reply to him. Would she just reply with something like, "Are you sick?"
Qin Hao thought about Lin Yi's personality for a moment and suddenly realized that this was also a possibility!
But just then, his phone rang with a "ding," and Lin Yi replied.
Because Qin Hao had been staring at his phone, he immediately saw what Lin Yi had replied to him.
Because I saw it, I couldn't help but let my lips curl into a wide smile.
"Your brother is talking nonsense. Your performance is already quite good. Not everyone has your brother's incredible work execution ability. To sum up your brother in one sentence, he's a devil."
A cat emoji with a pat on the head was also added at the end.
When Qin Hao saw the meme, he couldn't imagine how Lin Yi could send it with such a serious face.
Qin Hao's eyes were filled with laughter, but unfortunately he didn't realize it himself, as his fingers started tapping away on the phone screen again.
The two chatted back and forth like this, and in the end, Qin Hao, for some reason, actually asked Lin Yi if he could teach him how to improve his performance, otherwise he was really afraid that his brother would throw him into some godforsaken place!
After sending the message, Qin Hao felt a little bad about it. Just as he was about to add that he was just joking, Lin Yi replied.
"No problem, but I have limited time, and you're busy at work, so I can only teach you in the evenings."
Actually, if Lin Yi hadn't been afraid of scaring Qin Hao and arousing his suspicion, he would have directly said that he was free at any time.
Qin Hao's eyes lit up when he saw the reply, and he immediately sent a "good" message.
After thinking it over again, he gave Lin Yi another "friend card".
"President Lin, I really didn't realize you were so considerate of others. You're such a good person."
Qin Hao had no idea that he had sold himself out, and without even knowing the amount of money involved.
After chatting for so long, Qin Hao's mood had improved. After thinking about his workload for the day, he said goodbye to Lin Yi and threw himself into his work.
So while Lin Yi was still savoring Qin Hao's words that he was a good person, he sent a message saying, "I'm busy now, goodbye."
Lin Yi chuckled and replied with an "okay".
"Let's start the meeting." Lin put his phone down, got up, and left the office.
The assistant could only follow closely behind, but at the same time felt extremely helpless.
It's really impressive that their CEO remembered there was a meeting.
More than half an hour had passed since the originally scheduled meeting time.
Gu Zheng drove all the way back to the Gu residence.
When Aunt Gu and Uncle Wang saw Gu Zheng return, both of them were surprised. Aunt Gu, in particular, was so angry that she threw down the pillow she was holding.
"What are you doing? Giving up? You don't want Xia Ran anymore? Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng, how come you have no perseverance at all? It's only been a short time and you're already giving up?"
"..." Gu Zheng looked at his aunt Gu in front of him, who kept talking non-stop, giving him no chance to speak, and he had a headache.
"Auntie, I came back to get my marriage certificate, not to get rid of Xia Ran. You've misunderstood."
"Huh?" Aunt Gu was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean? Marriage certificate? What would you need a marriage certificate for? Aren't you already divorced? What's the point of showing them a marriage certificate after you're divorced? Do you think they'd even acknowledge you?"
