Chapter 66 Rumor has it that he has a great fondness for women.
Chapter 66 Rumor has it that he has a great fondness for women.
The image of Tan Haoyu being hastily taken away by the crowd earlier that day involuntarily flashed through Zhu Ziqing's mind.
At that time, she was filled with anxiety but powerless to stop it, and that deep sense of frustration is still etched in her memory.
Thinking of this, an unprecedented determination welled up in her heart: if she ever encountered something like today again, she would never let anyone else easily take Tan Haoyu away from her side.
She is his rightful wife, and from now on, he must rely on this status to be confident.
She stayed by his side at all times, taking meticulous care of him and never leaving his side.
Zhu Ziqing waited quietly for Tan Haoyu's response.
But after waiting for a while, he didn't say a word.
She tilted her head slightly and secretly observed Tan Haoyu's face.
His eyes were closed, his long eyelashes casting a small shadow on his eyelids, and his breathing was even and gentle. He had fallen asleep without realizing it.
Zhu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then recalled what the doctor had told her before—that Tan Haoyu's oral medication had been given with sleeping pills added.
The most important thing right now is to let him get a good night's sleep, which will help his body recover its energy.
Zhu Ziqing was afraid that if she just pressed down on Tan Haoyu like that, he would be uncomfortable sleeping, so she carefully reached out her hand.
She wanted to remove Tan Haoyu's hands that were tightly holding her, intending to find a more comfortable position and continue to lie beside him and watch over him.
But her hand had barely touched Tan Haoyu's arm before she could exert any force.
Although Tan Haoyu was asleep, he seemed to be alert.
He subconsciously tightened his grip on her, holding her even closer, as if afraid she would slip away.
Zhu Ziqing was taken aback when she saw this.
Then her eyebrows curved into a smile, and her moist lips involuntarily turned up slightly, revealing a sweet smile.
A sweet feeling welled up in her heart. She hugged Tan Haoyu's arms tightly, unconsciously tightening her grip, as if silently responding to Tan Haoyu's subconscious dependence.
At this moment, no further words are needed.
Her tight embrace revealed her increasingly deep feelings for Tan Haoyu.
The ward was quiet and cozy, with only the soft breathing of the two people mingling together.
……
Fine rain, like silver threads, fell in abundance, instantly enveloping the streets and alleys of Shenzhen in a misty haze.
This light rain was like a sudden, chilly prelude.
Temperatures plummeted, and a chill swept in like a tidal wave, unequivocally announcing the official arrival of winter.
However, in stark contrast to this damp and cold weather is...
The atmosphere of the entire city of Shenzhen was completely unaffected by the cold air.
Street screens, newspaper headlines, and online trending topics were all dominated by the major news of the Sunshine Group's headquarters relocating to Shenzhen.
For a time, Shenzhen was bustling with unprecedented activity.
Business elites from all over the country, like sharks smelling blood, flocked to Shenzhen from all directions.
Five-star hotels were fully booked well in advance, and business banquets were held one after another.
Luxury cars shuttle along the city's main roads, and people dressed in expensive suits and ties can be seen everywhere.
These business tycoons share the same thought—to seize the fleeting opportunities presented by this massive commercial upheaval.
After all, the arrival of Sunshine Group in Shenzhen is of great importance to the city's development.
In the eyes of many, it was equivalent to the opening of a rich mine containing endless wealth, which meant countless opportunities for cooperation and the possibility of making money.
Wan Qingsha stood in the spacious, bright, and extremely luxurious top-floor office of the Wan Group.
Looking down at the bustling city below, my fists clenched unconsciously.
A burning flame of ambition resided within him, and he was single-mindedly focused on how to gain greater trust from his father, Wan Shixiong, and seize more substantial power.
In his view, the most direct and effective way to achieve this goal is to successfully partner with the booming Sunshine Group.
To this end, he meticulously planned and sent his most capable secretary, carrying sincere invitations, to the Sunshine Group time and time again to request an audience.
"Rejected again! How many times has this happened?" Wan Qingsha watched as her secretary returned looking dejected, handing the invitation back to her unopened.
Enraged, he slammed the post onto the table.
The secretary kept her head down, not daring to breathe.
Wan Gangqiang, standing to the side, silently counted; this was no less than ten times they had been turned down.
Every time I sent out a message full of anticipation, the reply I always received was that Jack Tan was too busy to meet.
Wan Gangqiang saw Wan Qingsha several times with a gloomy face, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Finally, he couldn't help but speak up: "Young Master, I've inquired, and there are so many people making appointments to see Jack Tan that the schedule is booked up for three months from now."
Wan Qingsha frowned, his face full of irritation.
He had just taken over Wan's complex and massive business system.
The shrewd and calculating senior executives below him appeared respectful to him on the surface, but in reality, they all harbored doubts and secretly hindered him.
They didn't take him, the young master, seriously at all.
He desperately needs a resounding victory to prove his strength and silence all the doubters.
The collaboration with the Sunshine Group was the key battle he chose.
“Three months? I can’t wait that long!” Wan Qingsha gritted her teeth, her eyes gleaming.
He secretly vowed to see Jack Tan as soon as possible, no matter what.
Wan Gangqiang coughed lightly, leaned closer to Wan Qingsha, and said in a low voice, "Young Master, I've recently heard some rumors about Jack Tan. Although I don't know if they're true or not, they might be able to help us find a shortcut."
Wan Qingsha raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.
Wan Gangqiang cleared his throat, looking slightly embarrassed, and said, "Rumor has it that Jack Tan is extremely fond of women, and there are even rumors that he has six girlfriends in one night. He is very unrestrained in his behavior."
Wan Qingsha's eyes suddenly lit up, but she frowned again in an instant, asking doubtfully, "Is this kind of rumor reliable? Where did it come from?"
He crossed his arms and stared sharply at Wan Gangqiang, not missing a single detail.
After all, this matter is of great importance. If we rashly believe rumors and act accordingly, we may lose everything if we are not careful.
Wan Qingsha paced back and forth in her office, her mind racing.
Although the rumor sounded absurd, he had no way to see the person and time was of the essence.
If the rumor is true, it could actually be a stepping stone for me to get into Jack Tan's office.
But if it's just a baseless rumor, it's unwise to rashly use it to make a move.
Once exposed, not only will cooperation be hopeless, but it is also very likely to become a laughing stock in the business world, and be seized upon by competitors to severely suppress them.
Thinking this, his palms unconsciously became sweaty, and the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly heavy.
Wan Qingsha stood upright in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, which was at least two people tall.
His hands were casually tucked into his pockets, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
His deep eyes gazed out the window at the bustling and noisy city of Shenzhen, a city rife with hidden undercurrents.
