Chapter 836: Project “Smooth”
Editor: Henyee Translations
When Murong Qiao asked him this, Huo Yuchen didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he was nimbly peeling off a thin piece of apple skin with a fruit knife.
Murong Qiao’s gaze slid down. She saw that the other party’s movements were extremely agile. The apple spun around in circles, but the thinly sliced skin didn’t show any signs of breaking.
“If you want to say it, feel free to tell me. If you don’t want to talk about it, just rest well.” Huo Yichen cut the peeled apples into pieces and placed them on the table before stuffing them into Murong Qiao’s hand so that she could save some energy when eating.
However, he only said this on the surface and put on a relaxed att.i.tude. He had already sent a message to Ye Zhen before coming to the hospital and asked him to investigate what had happened today.
Murong Qiao looked at the fruits in her hand and stuffed a piece into her mouth. It tasted sweet and a little cold.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The person who came was Murong Zheng. He stood at the door and didn’t enter. After knocking, he pushed open the door and waved at Huo Yuchen, who was sitting by the bed.
He immediately understood. “Eat first. I’ll go out for a while.”
He followed Murong Zhong through a corridor at the door. Then, the two of them found a spot on the windowsill and stood there casually.
“Something happened to Qiaoqiao today. Jiang Jia’s daughter happened to be at the scene.”
After Murong Zhong stood still, he spoke directly and told him the results of the investigation he and Murong Chuan had learned.
His tone was calm, but the information revealed by his words was very important.
If the Big Brothers didn’t know about the grudge between Jiang Weiyang and Murong Qiao, when Huo Yichen heard the surname Jiang, he immediately thought of the person who had gone against Murong Qiao previously.
“Alright, I understand.” Huo Yuchen nodded.
He clearly did not say anything, but his natural calm appearance made people inexplicably feel at ease.
After Murong Zheng finished speaking, he didn’t say much else. He only told Hui Yichen what had happened today and talked about other things, such as some taboos of the patient, how to take care of Murong Qiao, and the severity of her injuries.
He was a doctor to begin with, so these things came out of his mouth very smoothly.
As the two of them chatted, the sky outside the window gradually turned dark and heavy.
The sky was so dark that one couldn’t even see their fingers. Usually, one couldn’t even see a few specks of dust. One could only look up. Dense dark clouds piled up above their heads, as if a storm was coming at any moment.
The thunder rumbled in the clouds like a warning. As a result, the pedestrians quickened their pace. Soon, the roadside was empty, and it began to drizzle.
Jiang Weiyang had returned home under this weather. However, although it was gloomy outside, it didn’t affect her good mood at all.
She hummed under the umbrella and leisurely pushed open the door. Then, she threw her things aside.
“Sister Zhang, I’m going to take a bath later. Prepare it.
“Alright, Young Miss.”
The nanny called Sister Zhang hurriedly agreed. Then, after escorting Jiang Weiyang indoors, she hurriedly prepared everything she needed to take a shower.
Jiang Weiyang had already thought about it. When she soaked in the petal bath later, she would take the time to call Sophia to share what had happened today.
In the end, she pa.s.sed by the living room and was about to go upstairs and return to her room when she stopped in surprise because of the person who appeared in the living room.
Looking at Jiang Wenxu, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a frown, Jiang Weiyang revealed a rare expression and leaned over.
“Brother, you’re actually willing to come home?”
“What kind of question is that?” When Jiang Wenxu heard his Little Sister’s voice, he immediately put down the doc.u.ment in his hand and rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows. He looked at his Little Sister. “I’m a human, not a machine. Isn’t it normal for me to come back and rest?”
“Yes, yes, yes, but you’ve always seemed to live in the company.” She mercilessly exposed the fact that he hadn’t been home for many days.
She actually didn’t care if her Big Brother returned home or not. Sometimes, she even hoped that Jiang Wenxu wouldn’t come back and she could be alone at home.
However, seeing that he seemed to be facing a difficult problem, Jiang Weiyang asked casually.
“Hasn’t the company been developing quite well recently? What are you worried about?”
Jiang Weiyang didn’t understand those things, but she spoke with concern more smoothly than anyone else.
Jiang Wenxu tidied up the messy doc.u.ments in his hand, but his thoughts couldn’t be unraveled. It was as if they were a mess in his mind.
Hearing his Little Sister’s question, he slowly exhaled. “The company plans to invest in a new project recently.”
“These are all research materials,” he said casually, not planning to explain in detail.
However, even without saying anything, the importance of this project could be seen.
“How have you been at the company recently? I remember throwing a project at you previously.”
Seeing that his Little Sister had returned home, Jiang Wenxu wouldn’t spend all his attention on work. Instead, he expressed his concern for her.
Although he was holding up the Jiang Family now, there was no telling when an accident would happen to him. In that case, he hoped that his Little Sister could take charge of the situation.
When she heard her Big Brother mention this, Jiang Weiyang curled her lips and said in a good mood.
“The project is going well. It’s going very smoothly.”
“As long as it goes smoothly. Remember to tell me if you encounter any problems.”
After hearing his Little Sister’s words, Jiang Wenxu no longer cared too much. Instead, he focused his attention on the complicated information in his hand again.
Jiang Weiyang casually glanced at it. She actually couldn’t understand the information, so she didn’t say anything and only walked towards her room.
Her back was facing Jiang Wenxu as she walked away. When she reached the upper floor and disappeared, Jiang Wenxu rubbed the bridge of his nose that was hurting a little. He looked at the information filled with academic terms and frowned, as if he would never finish reading it.
Although he looked relaxed in front of his Little Sister just now, in fact, the family’s recent businesses were not doing well.
With the existence of the two big shots, the Murong Family and the Huo Family, those who fell into the hands of these companies would at most only have a mouthful of soup. Although the Jiang Family also had their previous foundations, they had to come up with some new ideas. Otherwise, they would probably become more and more irrelevant.
It was also because of this that Jiang Wenxu had recently come up with some new projects.
However, when he thought about how he had to apply for all kinds of procedures again, as well as those research labs and various connections, he couldn’t help but sigh.
He only hoped that everything would go smoothly.
Jiang Wenxu prayed in his heart. Then, he sorted out his thoughts and sent his thoughts and various arrangements to his a.s.sistant.
Thinking that he still had a bunch of trivial matters to deal with tomorrow, Jiang Wenxu didn’t stay in the living room late and went upstairs.
However, before returning to his own room, he had to pa.s.s by his Little Sister’s room.
He walked forward casually, but when he reached the door, he vaguely heard a very happy voice coming from inside. She seemed to be talking to someone on the phone.
It had been a long time since he had heard Little Sister sounding this happy.
Jiang Wenxu was distracted for a moment. But he didn’t have the habit of staying any longer and returned to his room.
