Wen Ran’s eyes flickered slightly, and she leaned into her office chair, apologetically asked, “Am I disturbing you by calling you right now?”
“Wait a moment for me.”
On the other end of the phone, MO Xiuchen spoke a sentence, and then gave instructions to someone beside him, Wen Ran heard his footsteps.
The sound of the excavator gradually drifted away.
About two minutes later, his voice came again, free of the noisy sounds from just now, it was gentle and magnetic, drilling into Wen Ran’s ears: “Why are you calling me at this time, is there something you need?”
Wen Ran tugged at the corner of her mouth, smiling. She was calling about Bai Xiaoxiao’s matter. Since she needed his help, it was inevitable that she should call him.
“Are you working late tonight?”
On Tuesday night, he worked overtime until late at night, and by the time he got home, it was already past midnight. Although Wen Ran would wait for him to come home before sleeping, because he came home late, they barely had any interactions.
Hearing her words, MO Xiuchen at the construction site paused for a moment.
He turned his head and looked at the busy scene in the distance. Tonight, he had to have dinner with the leaders of the relevant departments. As the person in charge of this project, he naturally couldn’t be absent. After considering it, he replied, “Tonight, I have a social engagement. You don’t have to wait for me.
Try to go to sleep early.”
A hint of disappointment flashed in Wen Ran’s eyes. She responded with an “oh”, and then MO Xiuchen’s voice came over again: “I have half an hour of free time now. If there’s something you need to talk about, we can do it now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Ran heard someone shout ‘MO General’. It was the chief engineer approaching him with blueprints. MO Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed, and there was a trace of seriousness between his brows.
“I’m fine. I was just asking whether you will be working late tonight. You go ahead with your work, I will hang up first.”
Wen Ran lowered her eyes to glance at the planned case on her desk, considering that she could bring it home in the evening, wait for him to finish work, and then let him review it.
Since she would be going on a business trip to F City tomorrow, Wen Ran thoroughly checked all the necessary documents and medicines to ensure there were no mistakes.
She arranged in advance all the matters that needed to be handled in the coming days, including sending several important documents to the hospital after work for her brother, Wen Jin, to review.
When she was not there, these important matters needed her brother’s help to handle.
For dinner, Wen Ran ate with Wen Jin in the hospital. Because Nanny Zhang always sent too much food that Wen Jin couldn’t finish, she accompanied him and ate together.
“Ranran, you must take good care of yourself when you go to F City.”
After dinner, Wen Jin admonished her with worry. Wen Ran handed him a towel, smiling, “Brother, don’t worry. I’m not a child, and I’ve traveled before. I know how to take care of myself. As for you, you must rest well. Don’t overwork yourself.”
After Wen Jin washed his face, Wen Ran took the towel, wrung it out again, lifted the blanket, and wiped his feet.
“Ranran, remember to lock the door when you go to sleep at night.”
Wen Jin watched her proficiently cleaning his feet, and a warmth spread in his eyes. Ranran had indeed grown up. Before, it was always him taking care of her, but now, she could take care a him.
“Brother, didn’t I just tell you? Xiaoxiao is also going to F City with me. We will be sharing a room, so stop worrying like an old man.”
Wen Ran lifted her head, chuckling at Wen Jin. Her eyes were curved, and after she finished speaking, she playfully stuck her tongue out at him. “Alright, I won’t say anymore, lest you find me annoying.”
Wen Jin conceded, his eyes filled with indulgence.
Wen Ran smiled in satisfaction, carried the basin into the restroom to pour out the water, and then called the male nurse to wipe down Wen Jin. She herself stepped out into the corridor.
When night fell, a luxurious five-star hotel came into view.
At the open elevator door, a woman in a black dress, carrying the latest LV bag, wearing a duckbill hat, first looked around. She adjusted her hat to cover her face, then quickly headed towards the room in front of her.
She stopped at the entrance to the room, and looked back to make sure nobody was following her, then pressed the doorbell.
After a long while, everything quieted down.
Xiao Wenqing leaned tenderly against the man, gazing at him fondly, “Tianyi, how many days will you stay in G City this time?”
The man she called ‘Tianyi’ was named Wu Tianyi, and he was from H City.
And the woman in his arms was MO Zixuan’s mother – Xiao Wenqing!
Wu Tianyi knocked off the ashes from his cigarette and squinted, “I’ve come this time for some important business. Do you know about your outing tonight, MO Jingteng?”
Xiao Wenqing shook her head, saying, “He doesn’t know. Tonight, he has a social engagement with his eldest son and won’t be back before midnight.”
Hearing this, a sharp gleam flashed in Wu Tianyi’s eyes. He frowned and asked, “Is it a social function related to the Commercial Trade Building project? Such a big project and he handed it entirely to MO Xiuchen? Zixuan hasn’t been involved?”
Speaking of this, Xiao Wenqing felt aggrieved. The tenderness on her face was replaced with anger, “In his eyes, how can my son Zixuan compare with MO Xiuchen? Not only has he handed over the Commercial Trade Building project to MO Xiuchen to oversee entirely, but he is also preparing to hand over the entire group to him.”
Wu Tianyi snorted coldly, expressing his indignation on her behalf: “That old thing, MO Jingteng. Where does Zixuan fall short compared to MO Xiuchen? He’s so partial. I initially thought that if you could influence this project, we could also profit from it.”
Xiao Wenqing coldly retorted: “I don’t have say in the company’s matters. He stopped letting me manage a long time ago.”
“Since he was ruthless first, you can’t be blamed for being unjust. While MO Xiuchen has not yet fully taken control, we still have a chance. ”
Wu Tianyi finished his cigarette, tenderly kissed Xiao Wenqing’s forehead, and patted her back to comfort her.
Xiao Wenqing frowned.
Over the years, she has cultivated her own loyalists in the company, but they were all quietly removed by MO Xiuchen in the last two or three years. Adding to this, MO Xiuchen’s smart and ruthless tactics have led most of the old timers in the company to view him as the only choice for future CEO.
“Last weekend, MO Jingteng even allowed MO Xiuchen to conduct a paper-burning ritual for his mother at the Mo’s mansion. We argued for a while and he hasn’t talked to me for days. ”
“I have a plan!”
Wu Tianyi scoffed, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out a small medicine bottle..
