Chapter 1478 If There“s A Will, There“s A Way 1
Qi Lei coughed and started breathing heavily again.
Yang Sheng quickly poured him a cup of warm water and replied, “Don’t worry, Master Qi. The preparations are done. You should take a break these few days and not worry about the company. You must’ve been very tired after working so hard for so many days.”
“How’s the situation at the hospital?” Qi Lei asked instead of replying to him.
“President Qi’s condition is still quite stable, but there’s still no sign of him waking up. The doctor said that his brain has suffered a traumatic injury and there was a blood clot in his brain disrupting the nerve, but so far, the blood clot seems to be slowly disappearing on its own. Hopefully, President Qi will be able to wake up once the blood clot is gone, but we can only sit and wait now,” Yang Sheng said as his eyes darkened.
He had been observing Qi Lei’s every move recently. When it came to Qi Qiming, Qi Lei was actually still conflicted, but no matter what, he still could not bring himself to turn a blind eye to Qi Qiming…
For so many days, he had still been watching over Qi Qiming with barely any time for himself. Qi Lei had lost a lot of weight because of that, and now, it seemed like his body could not take it anymore.
Qi Lei started coughing again. He lowered his head and had a few sips of water before taking a deep breath. “Try to see if the doctors can do anything else to help him wake up as soon as possible. Ask them to do their best and we’ll do anything they want.”
Qi Lei’s tone was cold and indifferent when he said that. He could not discern the emotions he was feeling. It felt like regret, but he also felt numb…
“Okay, Master Qi, I understand.”
In actual fact, this was not the first time Qi Lei had mentioned this. He had actually brought it up several times already, but he seemed to have forgotten what he said before.
“Master Qi, today is the day of the Qi Kai Group shareholders’ meeting, as notified by someone from the company. Would you like to go?” Yang Sheng hesitated for a long time before asking but he immediately regretted it because he caught Qi Lei’s reaction from the corner of his eye…
Qi Lei did not say a word. He quietly lowered his gaze to look at the cup in his hand while swirling the water in the cup. His gaze flickered and he remained silent for a long time.
Yang Sheng felt uncomfortable and he was a little worried, “Master Qi, the First Master is…”
“Will all shareholders attend this meeting?” Qi Lei asked before Yang Sheng could finish speaking. He then lowered his head and had another sip of water.
“Yes, all shareholders will be present, including those who aren’t very supportive. Given the circ.u.mstances and President Qi’s condition, they have no choice. Recently, the Qi Kai Group’s performance in the stock market has been volatile. If this matter doesn’t get resolved, I’m afraid that the impact on the company will be even worse. Those shareholders have no choice but to consider the future of the company.” Yang Sheng’s tone was unusually serious.
At that moment, Qi Lei lowered his gaze and became quiet again as he sunk deeper in thought.
“Master Qi, what can we do now? First Master is too…President Qi’s still lying in the hospital and he hasn’t visited him much. He’s always making excuses that there’s too much work and that the Qi Kai Group needs him to keep going. Now, he’s taking advantage of President Qi’s absence and wants to seize the opportunity to take over the company…”
“You should take the doc.u.ments back to the company first. I’ll go back later.”
After Qi Lei coughed violently, it took him quite a bit of effort to breathe. He threw the doc.u.ments in front of Yang Sheng as he put the cup in his hand down before slowly walking towards the stairs.
Yang Sheng wanted to say something when Qi Lei’s thin figure had already disappeared up the stairs. He quietly took a deep breath before he replied, “I’ll wait for you in the car outside, Master Qi!”
After he said that, he bent down to pack up his things and left the living room.
It had already been ten minutes when Qi Lei changed into a black fitted suit layered with a trench coat when he finally made his way downstairs.
As soon as he walked out of the villa, Yang Sheng and the bodyguards were already waiting in front.
Qi Lei quickly got into the car and headed to Tai Yu Corporation.
Tai Yu Corporation was located in an affluent commercial area at the junction between the city center and the north of the city. Qi Lei had taken the entire Hua Tai Building as the company headquarters. It was originally a commercial building under w.a.n.g Qin’s name and was where the w.a.n.g family originally started. The building used to be on lease, but now, Qi Lei had taken it back into his own hands.
With the solid basis that w.a.n.g Qin had left him, it would be easier for Qi Lei to keep hustling. Otherwise, just the problem with the company’s location would give him enough to worry about!
Qi Lei had just arrived at the office when his cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. When he got on the phone, the voice on the other end of the phone surprised him.
“Lei, it’s me…”
There was a trace of concern in that soft voice. “I heard from the critical care nurse in the hospital that you were a little sick yesterday. Are you feeling better now? You don’t need to worry too much about Father. The doctor said that his condition has stabilized now, so you need to take care of yourself instead.”
Who else could this voice be if not Gu Lingsha’s?
Qi Lei’s eyes immediately darkened.
He obviously would not be so naive to think that Gu Lingsha was just concerned about him while making the phone call!
He heard that she had gone back to City B to find Gu Qiwu, probably to talk about Qi Feng’s possible ownership of the company. Now that Qi Feng had a better understanding of the internal situation at the Qi Kai Group, he presumably thought it would be a good idea to increase his chances of winning through Gu Qiwu, but they did not expect that the latter might not be willing to intervene anymore because of Mu Lingshi.
Mu Yuchen’s strategy was indeed impressive. He had cut off Qi Feng’s wings with every step so when he could no longer fly, he would be trapped and forced to fight against the beast!
“Anything?” he asked coldly.
His tone caused Gu Lingsha to give a little shiver. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She did not get angry though as she said, “Qi Lei, don’t talk to me like that. I haven’t done anything to you, have I? Are you disgusted just by hearing my voice?”
“What else could it be?” Qi Lei disapproved, “Has the shareholders’ meeting started?”
