Zhou Zefan stretched out his left hand and placed it in front of Qiao Weiyang. âThe last time I underwent surgery, my left hand was practically fine. It just feels a little awkward. And itâs still difficult to do some detailed movements.â
âYes, because there are still some small nerves that havenât recovered. Aunt Hui, apply for leave for Zefan today. Iâll take him to the hospital for another surgery. After this, he should be fine and can completely recover to the state he was in before he was injured.â
âGo on.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhou Zefan went back to the department to roughly arrange his work before following Qiao Weiyang to the hospital.
Song Hanzhi had already helped Qiao Weiyang prepare the operating room and assistant.
Soon, Qiao Weiyang finished the second surgery for Zhou Zefan.
âThe surgery went very smoothly, but you still need to recuperate for four or five days. Donât use too much strength. After that, you can slowly recover your movements. You should be fine in half a month.â Qiao Weiyang handed the medicine to him and reminded him of some things to take note of.
Zhou Zefan tried to move, but his left hand was completely weak. He couldnât raise it at all. However, he trusted Qiao Weiyang and knew that he would be fine soon.
âGo home and rest. Iâll look at the design drafts I gave out just now. Itâll be fine,â Qiao Weiyang said.
After taking a taxi and sending Zhou Zefan off, she returned to Hua Wen Jewelry and reported this matter to Lu Wenhui.
âIâll come over in the next few days to take care of these jobs for Zefan.â
âThank you, Weiyang.â
âItâs my duty.â
The two of them were chatting when the assistant came in. âPresident Lu, Zheng Mengwei and Han Tian are here.â
âWhy are they here? Didnât I say I wouldnât see them?â Lu Wenhui said with a frown.
âThey insisted on seeing you. I couldnât stop them.â
âOkay, then let them in.â
Qiao Weiyang asked curiously, âAunt Hui, are they working with you?â
âTheyâre not, but Zheng Mengwei called me that day and said that she wanted to work with Hua Wen Jewelry. I refused. I donât know why she came looking for me again.
Lu Wenhui said, âIâll meet them for now.â
âThen Iâll go to the pantry for coffee.â
Qiao Weiyang stood up and spoke.
She walked to the pantry, chose a seat, and sat down. The assistant poured her a cup of coffee and brought it over.
âMiss Qiao, sit down for a while. Iâll go check in on President Lu.â
A moment later, the assistant came over and poured three cups of coffee before going out again.
Qiao Weiyang asked, âWhatâs the situation over there?â
âI donât know either.â The assistant spread their hands.
Qiao Weiyang was in no position to know the reason behind Zheng Mengweiâs presence, but she had an ominous feeling.
She patiently drank the coffee in her cup while paying attention to the activity in the office.
After about ten minutes, Zheng Mengwei and Han Tian finally came out.
Only then did Qiao Weiyang get up and walk toward Lu Wenhuiâs office.
She pushed the door open and entered. Lu Wenhui said in a low voice, âLet me be alone.â
âAunt Hui.â
When she heard Qiao Weiyangâs voice clearly, Lu Wenhui looked up at her.
âWeiyang, itâs you.â
Hearing her weak appearance, Qiao Weiyang walked over with heartache. She placed her hands on her shoulders and asked in a low voice, âWhatâs wrong?â
Lu Wenhui was silent for a long time before saying, âThey want to work with my company.â
âWhat conditions do they have? Or what do they have that can be held against you?â
Lu Wenhui knew that Qiao Weiyang was a smart person and had long guessed that Zheng Mengwei had come over with something in her hand. She did not hide it and said, âWeiyang, you know that Uncle Zhou Ping and I founded Hua Wen Jewelry together in the past.â
âYes, I know. After Uncle Zhou Ping passed away, his son, Zhou Zefan, has been working in the company. You two have always been on good terms.â
âBack then, Zhou Ping obtained a batch of jewelry and made them into accessories to sell. Three years later, someone came up with concrete evidence to tell us that the batch of jewelry was fake. Initially, we wanted to recall this batch of jewelry, compensate the customers for their losses, and replace them with new ones. However, at that time, the company happened to encounter a huge crisis. For the time being, we couldnât fork out the money to compensate, nor did we have the time to resolve this matter.
âIn addition, no other clients had ever raised such questions, so we postponed the matter.
âLater on, when the matter passed, there was no opportunity to continue resolving this matter. Slowly, it was put on hold. This matter has always been a sore point for your Uncle Zhou Ping and me. It was very uncomfortable for us, but at that time, Hua Wen Jewelry was steadily rising. It was no longer convenient for us to resolve such an old matter.â
Lu Wenhui felt terrible and paused a few times.
âBecause of this, your Uncle Zhou Ping suffered from depression and died young. I didnât have the courage to mention this matter, so I pretended that it never happened. Who knew that it would be mentioned again?â
Qiao Weiyang said softly, âSo, Zheng Mengwei found out about this and used it to threaten you?â
Lu Wenhui nodded. âYes, she said that if I cooperate with the Zheng family, sheâll pretend not to know about this. If I donât cooperate, sheâll directly expose
itâ¦â
The consequences of being exposed were obviously huge. Hua Wen Jewelryâs many years of reputation would probably be ruined.
However, if Lu Wenhui chose to work with Zheng Mengwei, who knew what sheâd have to do in the future?
Lu Wenhui had obviously not thought of a way to resolve this matter.
Qiao Weiyang said in a low voice, âAunt Hui, if thereâs really something wrong with that batch of jewelry, I suggest that the company learn their lesson and directly choose to recall them. No matter how many problems there are, the loss of reputation will still be manageable.â
It was obvious that Lu Wenhui had not made up her mind yet. The more time passed, the more courage it would take to reopen the wound and the longer it would take to heal.
âInstead of being threatened, itâs better to take the initiative.â
Qiao Weiyangâs voice was very soft, but it was very firm and carried an irresistible force.
Lu Wenhui said in a low voice, âI need to hold a shareholdersâ meeting to discuss it with everyone. This isnât something I can decide alone.â
âOkay. But what if thereâs nothing wrong with that batch of jewelry?â Qiao Weiyang asked softly.
âNothing wrongâ¦â Lu Wenhui said in a low voice. âThere was a problem back then. How could there be no problem now?â
âGive me all the information and Iâll investigate again. If thereâs anything wrong, we can correct it, but if thereâs nothing wrong, everything will be fine, right?â
Lu Wenhui nodded. âOkay, Iâll leave it to you. Thank you for your hard work.â
Qiao Weiyang took the information home and sat in her room, flipping through it..
