Shi Niange had been under a lot of pressure since she returned to the country. This was something everyone knew. However, no matter how Wen Ke and the others persuaded her, she did not say anything. She did what she needed to do. She went to work punctually every day and tried her best to go back to accompany her child at night.
This went on for about half a month. The domestic companies’ conflicts finally accumulated layer by layer. The executive meeting scheduled for the weekend was supposed to be between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM, but because of the unhappiness and complaints of the local directors, the meeting lasted for several hours. It ended at 8:00 PM.
She did not eat much. She tried their best to be calm and reasonable with the unreasonable executives in the meeting room. Even Shi Niange stood up and said whatever she needed to say. Her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, so the executives and directors could not find any fault.
Everyone who had been by Shi Niange’s side for more than four years knew her character. Ever since her mother passed away, her grandfather had resigned from all the laboratories in the country because he was old and tired. He retired and did not care about worldly affairs. Her father was also sitting in a wheelchair all year round. Occasionally, he would suggest some things, but everything else was handled by her alone.
From the age of twenty-one to twenty-six, she went from a young girl who had just stepped into the business world to the current CEO Shi, who knew her limits and would never panic.
Finally, the meeting ended, but in fact, the most deeply rooted problem had yet to be resolved. Those directors were like maggots. Every once in a while, they would stir up some trouble. Now that the company had moved back to the country, it was as though she had stepped on their sore spot, and they started causing more trouble.
Shi Niange did not have a strong backer. If she had a backer, she would not have endured the occasional nonsense from the directors for so many years without chasing them away.
In a place like the business world, you could only be tactful unless you were really strong and tough. It was not a place where you could drive someone out just because you couldn’t stand pr tolerate anyone. In such a large business world, although she appeared to be the boss of a company, the CEO, only she knew how much anger and burden she had silently endured.
At half past eight, the meeting ended. Shi Niange returned to the office alone.
Auntie Xiang called to ask if she would work overtime and let Lele sleep first and not wait for her.
Shi Niange said yes. She really could not rush back tonight. Then, she hung up the phone and sat on the leather chair behind the desk tiredly. She looked up at the incandescent light above the office.
When Wen Ke knocked on the door and came in, he saw this scene. Shi Niange seemed to have fallen asleep sitting there.
In his hand was the bento box he had just gotten from the employees’ cafeteria. Shi Niange’s health was initially quite good. However, in the past few years, because she had worked hard in the company all year round, she more or less had gastric pain. In the past, he had asked her to go to the hospital for a checkup. He said that because her diet was often irregular, her stomach was not good. Her gastric ulcer had also acted up. She usually had to eat on time.
She didn’t seem to have eaten lunch today. She only took two bites of the wonton he had packed for her before putting the bowl aside and continuing her work.
Wen Ke looked at the lunch box in his hand. It was still warm.
He placed the lunch box on the desk and walked out without waking her up.
Shi Niange heard footsteps approaching. She was actually awake, but she knew it was Wen Ke, so she kept her eyes close to rest.
She didn’t know how long she slept. After about two hours, she frowned from the throbbing pain in her stomach. She woke up and picked up her phone to check the time. It was already past ten in the evening.
She then glanced at the lunch box on the table and touched it. It was already cold.
Right now, her stomach was hurting. If she ate anything cold, she would probably die. She covered her stomach with one hand and dialed a number on her phone with the other. “Wen Ke, heat a glass of milk for me.”
Wen Ke was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Your stomach hurts again?”
“En, it’s fine. It’s not especially painful. I’ll be fine after drinking something warm.”
Wen Ke sighed. “All right.”
...
Twenty minutes later.
Shi Niange was forcefully brought into the car by Wen Ke. As he had just brought her a cup of warm milk, he saw that Shi Niange’s face was so pale that it was a little scary when he entered the office. He raised his hand to touch her forehead. It was cold, and she kept holding her stomach because of gastric pain. He couldn’t bear to watch anymore. He was afraid that her young body would collapse, so he forcefully dragged her into the car to take her to the hospital.
Shi Niange didn’t want to go, but Wen Ke was a man after all, and he was more than ten years older than her. It was fine if he was a subordinate, but now he was half an elder. If she wanted to refuse, she couldn’t win him. He brought her out of the office and into the car.
When the car drove to the hospital, Shi Niange didn’t pay attention to which hospital it was. She only looked at the crowd in front of the hospital entrance. Her hand was still pressed against her stomach. “I already said that there’s nothing wrong. Why do you insist on me coming to the hospital? My stomach doesn’t feel too well because I didn’t eat dinner.”
“Your condition is too poor. After returning to the country, your blood pressure is even higher than four years ago. I’m afraid that something will happen to you. I’ll be at ease after doing a check-up,” Wen Ke said and opened the car door.
Shi Niange got out of the car helplessly. As her stomach was really hurting too much, she broke out in cold sweat after taking two steps. Wen Ke hurried over to help her.
After entering the hospital, Shi Niange was sent to the VIP emergency room to be checked.
The doctor saw that her condition was really poor and asked her to do a gastroscopy. Coincidentally, she didn’t eat much in the afternoon and didn’t eat at night to do a gastroscopy.
After a series of checkups, Shi Niange, who was already uncomfortable, felt as though half of her life had been taken away. She laid weakly in the lounge and did not wish to move.
Afterward, the doctor came in. Seeing that she was really uncomfortable, he asked Wen Ke to go down to the supermarket to buy a hot water bag and fill it with hot water. He asked her to put the hot water bag on her stomach to warm her stomach. It would take a while before she could eat, so he asked her to wait in the hospital.
By the time the results were out, it was already past midnight.
Shi Niange hugged the hot water bag in the lounge and slept again. When Wen Ke came in, he saw that she still looked pale. He walked over and placed a bowl of warm millet porridge in front of her. “Eat this first. Take some medicine in half an hour. The doctor prescribed it.”
