Ning Zhisheng heard the voice that was like a nightmare. Although he hated it deeply in his heart, his face still showed a worried expression.
"Ah, Zhiyong, you're finally awake. You don't know how worried your elder brother was!"
Hearing this, Ning Zhiyong's hand, hidden under the quilt, clenched involuntarily. However, his face still maintained an appearance of brotherly affection.
"I've made big brother worry. It won't happen again. I'll be fine. I'll give big brother more to worry about."
Ning Zhiyong's words were like daggers piercing Ning Zhisheng's heart. It was the epitome of killing a person's spirit.
"That, that would be the best, of course," Ning Zhisheng said with a smile, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes.
Hmph, so he's awake? Fine. If he could make him fall unconscious once, he could make him fall unconscious again!
"I feel my body is gradually getting better. I've troubled big brother with company matters for too long. Big brother can slowly sort out the company affairs during this time, and I'll help share the burden."
Ning Zhiyong's words completely changed Ning Zhisheng's expression. "Zhiyong, you haven't been involved in company matters for the past two years, so you've become quite rusty with many of the affairs. There's no need to rush now. With big brother here, everything will be fine."
Of course, he would not return the company to Ning Zhiyong so easily. It was something he had worked hard to obtain!
Now that he was awake, he wanted it back? Impossible!
Ning Zhiyong knew his elder brother's true nature and also knew that there was no need to rush. "Alright, I'll trouble big brother with the company matters for now. Once my body has recovered, I'll return to the company."
"Good, then you cooperate with the doctors and recover well. There are still many matters that need to be handled at the company. Let Shunhong stay here to take care of you."
Ning Zhisheng said, then gave a look to his son, Ning Shunhong.
Ning Shunhong immediately understood and stepped forward, saying, "Uncle, my dad is handling the company. I'll stay at the hospital to take care of you, and it will also give Auntie a chance to rest."
Ning Shunhong's appearance was like those effeminate scoundrels on television. Ning Min instinctively felt disgusted and frightened by him.
Perhaps it was due to the memories of his abuse when she was young, which were so profound that even after so many years, she still instinctively feared him at the sight of him.
"Shunhong, you don't need to help here. You should go back to the company and help your father. The company's affairs are busy, and your father will be overwhelmed if he's alone."
Mei Shulan sensed her daughter's unusual reaction and immediately recalled what her daughter had told her, instantly understanding.
"No..."
Before Ning Shunhong could finish his refusal, Zhiyong interrupted him. "Yes, Auntie is right. There are too many matters at the company, and your father is indeed too tired handling it alone. How about this, bring Huai Min along as well? It will also allow him to familiarize himself with the company's affairs."
Ning Shunhong immediately understood his meaning. He intended to place Shen Huai Min, his cheap son-in-law, into the company?!
Ning Zhisheng, who had not yet left, also found this very displeasing, but he could not say anything, so he could only say with a smile, "That's fine too. Since you're not needed here, Shunhong, take Huai Min to the company as well."
After hearing his father's words, Ning Shunhong knew his father had other plans, so he did not refuse.
Therefore, when Ning Zhisheng left, he also took Shen Huai Min with him.
After confirming Ning Zhisheng had left, Ning Zhiyong immediately asked his wife to get his phone. He quickly contacted his former subordinates.
"Hello, Ayuan, it's me..."
...
Shen Huai Min followed Ning Zhisheng and his son to the company. This was not his first time here. In the month he had been in Hong Kong City, he had visited several times.
Each time, Ning Zhisheng had brought him. However, on the previous occasions, he had only brought him along to put on a show.
His actions were meant for others to see, as it was impossible to keep the return of Ning Min, the young lady who had been lost for over twenty years, a secret in Hong Kong City.
Ever since his brother fell into a coma and he took over the company, there had been countless rumors saying he was trying to seize his brother's company while his brother was incapacitated.
Although this was indeed his intention, he absolutely could not let such thoughts be openly discussed.
To put it bluntly, it was hypocrisy!
"Shunhong, your uncle said to have you familiarize Huai Min with the company. Coincidentally, there's a task that needs to be done. Take Huai Min along and let him learn properly," Ning Zhisheng said as he walked.
Seeing his actions, Shen Huai Min understood his intentions perfectly. It was nothing more than a show. Otherwise, there would be no need to say it in front of so many people.
With so many places in the company, where couldn't they talk? Why choose to say it as they passed by the office?
As expected, Shen Huai Min heard some whispered conversations.
"Mr. Ning is too kind, isn't he? Not only did he bring back the Ning family's young lady who was lost for over twenty years, but he also arranged for her husband to join the company."
"Yes, yes, and from the sound of it, he's going to work in the company too!"
"They're really lucky. I heard he and the lost young lady Ning were childhood sweethearts."
"Who knows if it's really luck? I heard they both lived in the countryside. Such a remote place, they probably haven't even finished high school! And they expect to join the company!"
"Exactly, exactly. If you ask me, this company should belong to young master Ning. Young master Ning is so outstanding and handsome..."
"Come on, if you're talking about handsomeness, then this young lady Ning's husband is even more handsome!"
...
Although the topic of the crowd was drifting further afield, Ning Zhisheng was still happy to hear these opinions. It was worth his efforts to painstakingly shape his image over the past two years.
"Huai Min, don't listen to their nonsense. This company was founded by Zhiyong. I had to take over this company because your father-in-law was not in good health. Now that Minmin has been found, the company will still belong to Minmin in the future." Ning Zhisheng quickly said.
His hurried demeanor made it seem as if he were explaining something, but the word "father-in-law" revealed his ulterior motives.
"I understand. After all, Minmin is father-in-law's only daughter. Naturally, father-in-law's inheritance will belong to Minmin." Shen Huai Min pretended not to understand the other implications in his words and continued to follow his lead.
Then, seeing him flustered, Shen Huai Min felt a surge of satisfaction. He somewhat understood why the second brother always liked to speak sarcastically.
Indeed, seeing someone flustered and unable to express their grievances felt quite good.
Ning Zhisheng: ...
"Brother-in-law, come, I'll show you where I work..."
Before Ning Zhisheng could lose his temper, Ning Shunhong quickly pulled Shen Huai Min away.
If they were to openly erupt, everything they had done would be in vain!
