Yu He frowned unhappily, her first reaction was that he was going to stop her after all.
"I'll take you to see someone tomorrow afternoon. Then you can decide if you want to see Huang Ying the day after tomorrow?" Qin Beiting explained.
Yu He looked at him suspiciously. He had said before that he would take her to see her foster father when he returned. Was it tomorrow?
"Okay!" she replied. She also wanted to see her foster father before meeting Madam Huang.

Meanwhile.
In the top-floor conference room of the Qin Corporation, a high-level meeting was held to address the continuous fall in Qin's stock price. It lasted from the afternoon until evening.
"How much longer will Fourth Master be investigated? The position of President of the Qin Corporation cannot remain vacant indefinitely," asked Huang Hang, the General Manager of Marketing, who held some Qin shares.
"Yes, Qin's stock price has now hit a five-year low. If Fourth Master doesn't return, it will only make shareholders more worried," echoed Huang Fengqiang.
The two were father and son, from Madam Huang's family. Relying on the favoritism of Qin Yonghao and his wife, the father and son had climbed to their current positions step by step.
Now that Qin Yonghao and his wife were in trouble, the father and son could not lose their backing, so they had to find ways to urge Qin Yonghao to return. As for Madam Huang, her charges were too serious, and they dared not mention her for the time being.
"Yes, at this critical juncture, we should release Fourth Master to quell the online rumors and appease the shareholders."
"Fourth Master is the head of the new chip project. The project is in progress, and there are many things that he needs to personally confirm. He cannot be absent for too long."
"If Fourth Master is released, and then we announce the progress of the new chip externally, it should also be able to divert the attention of netizens."
...
After Huang Fengqiang and his son initiated the discussion, other management personnel also chimed in.
Qin Yongchao looked sternly at those who had spoken. Since Qin Yonghao took office as President, he had frequently placed his own people in the group.
As he was not in a position of authority, it was difficult for him to intervene, so he had always turned a blind eye.
Now that Qin Yonghao was in trouble, these people were blindly supporting him without discerning right from wrong. If they were not eliminated, they would eventually cause trouble!
"It is true that the position of President of the Qin Corporation cannot remain vacant indefinitely," Qin Yongchao said.
Huang Hang and his son were secretly pleased, waiting for him to speak about bailing out Qin Yonghao.
Once Qin Yonghao was released, they could then seek credit from him, and by the end of the year, they would be able to receive more of Qin's year-end dividends.
Thinking of the generous dividends, the father and son felt delighted.
However, they heard Qin Yongchao continue unhurriedly:
"Beiting has managed Shengda Venture Capital quite well for the past three years, with an annual return increase of 50%. He can be transferred back to headquarters to temporarily take over Yonghao's work. Once Yonghao cooperates with the investigation and returns, further arrangements can be made."
Huang Hang:!
Huang Fengqiang:!
Did this mean they wouldn't bail out Qin Yonghao?
Who knew how long the police investigation would take?
By the time the investigation was over, it was uncertain whether Qin Yonghao could regain the presidency, or if they would still be with Qin.
Could Qin Beiting, the illegitimate son, replace Fourth Master?
Did he even deserve it?
"Shengda Venture Capital is just a small branch company, quite different from the headquarters. Seventh Master may not be able to handle it if he is transferred back?" Huang Hang suggested.
"Yes, the business of a small branch company certainly cannot compare to that of the headquarters. Moreover, I heard that Shengda Venture Capital has managed so well mainly due to Liu Wei's management," Huang Fengqiang seconded.
"Liu Wei's ability is indeed good. It's just right that Beiting is transferred back to headquarters, and Liu Wei will be promoted to President of Shengda Venture Capital," Qin Yongchao stated smoothly.
Huang Hang and his son were both choked up. What was going on with the Chairman today?
Didn't he dislike Qin Beiting, the illegitimate son, the most before?
Why would he want him back now?
And promote his subordinate?
Could it be a desperate move due to his illness?
If Qin Beiting returned to headquarters, their lives would definitely not be as easy as before, so the father and son quickly exchanged glances, signaling other executives to help speak up.
"I also feel that Seventh Master's experience is limited and not very suitable for taking over Fourth Master's work directly upon returning to headquarters. It would be better to start as a department manager."
"Yes, taking over Fourth Master's work directly is too risky. He was in the military before and probably doesn't know much about chips. His experience at Shengda is limited to venture capital, and he has never led a large project like research and development. Taking office directly is too risky."
"Yu He is one of the main players in the new chip design. Seventh Master is dating her. If Seventh Master comes back, it means the two of them will control the new chip project. Who knows if Seventh Master will be tempted by beauty, leading to project losses? After all, a lot of the corporation's efforts have been invested in this project, and Yu He does not seem to be friendly to Qin's."
"Yes, it would be better to find the Second Young Master to take over as soon as possible, rather than Seventh Master, right? At least the Second Young Master has been working on this project with Fourth Master."
"I also think the Second Young Master is more reliable than Seventh Master."
"..."
Each executive spoke one after another, all supporting Qin Yonghao and his father. Qin Yongchao did not want to listen anymore and directly interrupted them:
"Whether it's possible or not, you don't get to decide! This matter is settled. Butler Qin, notify the person to report to headquarters next Monday. The meeting ends here for today. Dismissed!"
Butler Qin: "Yes."
—
The next day.
Before dawn, Qin Beiting, who was sleeping on the sofa, heard faint noises. He opened his eyes and saw that Yu He had woken up at some point and was sitting on the hospital bed, staring blankly at her left hand wrapped in bandages.
He immediately got up and walked over. Only then did he see that several silver needles were inserted through the bandages on her left hand.
"Baby, what's wrong? Does your hand hurt?" Qin Beiting saw her frowning in discomfort and wished he could suffer in her place.
"Take some painkillers." He took out painkillers from the drawer and poured a cup of warm water. Thinking that taking painkillers on an empty stomach would be bad for her stomach, he opened his phone, "I'll order some food for you. Eat something before taking the medicine."
Yu He shook her head, her complexion not good. "Brother Ting, my left hand has no feeling."
Qin Beiting paused, glanced at her left hand, and comforted her, "Qi Nan said that some post-operative reactions are normal before recovery. It will get better."
"But I've done a course of treatment for myself, and there shouldn't be no sensation at all." Yu He lowered her eyes, looking worried.
She couldn't feel her left hand's fingers at all. This symptom made her a little scared.
"You're too anxious. Your body is still very weak. The wound on your hand is just healing slowly. Once the wound heals, we'll slowly do rehabilitation, and it will get better." Qin Beiting hugged her and comforted her.
Yu He was unwilling to give up. She removed the silver needles with her right hand, wanting to try again.
Qin Beiting grabbed her right hand. "Try again tomorrow. You need to rest now. If you rest well, your body will recover faster."
"I'll do another course of treatment before sleeping. You go back to sleep," Yu He said.
"Be good, sleep now. I'll sleep with you. We have to visit Sixth Brother tomorrow. If you don't sleep now, you won't have time to sleep tomorrow," Qin Beiting coaxed.
