Chapter 699 I'll make you crawl to see him

Zhang Dawei walked in somewhat awkwardly, placed his things on the bedside table, rubbed his hands together, forced a smile, and spoke in a dry voice.

"Yiyi... how... how are you feeling? Daddy... Daddy's here to see you..."

"I'm very good."

Zhang Yiyi's voice was as cold as ice, and she didn't even turn her head.

"Please leave, I'd like to rest."

Zhang Dawei's smile froze on his face. He stood there awkwardly, unsure whether to leave or stay.

He glanced at Xiaoyu beside him and Qin Luo, who was on the phone at the door, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

“Um… Yiyi… Daddy… wants to talk to you alone for a few minutes…” Zhang Dawei mustered his courage and said in a low voice, his eyes pleading.

Zhang Yiyi's body visibly stiffened for a moment, and after a few seconds of silence, she finally spoke coldly.

"Xiaoyu, Qin Luo, could you... please step out for a moment?"

Xiaoyu glanced at Zhang Yiyi with concern, then gave Zhang Dawei a wary look before nodding. She then pulled Qin Luo, who had just hung up the phone and entered, out of the ward and gently closed the door behind them.

Only the father and daughter remained in the ward.

The air seemed to freeze, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Zhang Dawei walked to the bedside, looked at his daughter's pale and indifferent profile, sighed, and his voice carried a sense of powerless old age.

“Yiyi…Daddy knows…you’ve suffered these past years…Aunt Jiang…she does have a bit of a temper…and her words aren’t always pleasant…but…”

"She's not my aunt!"

Zhang Yiyi suddenly turned her head, interrupting him, her eyes sharp as knives, filled with barely suppressed anger and grievance.

"My mother died when she was thirteen! She's long gone! That woman is just the wife you married! She has nothing to do with me!"

Zhang Dawei flinched as he was stung by the hatred in his daughter's eyes, and pain and shame flashed across his face.

"Yiyi...don't say that...she...she's still yours in name only..."

"In name only? Ha!"

Zhang Yiyi sneered, tears welling up in her eyes.

"In name only, she can steal half of the shares my mother left me? In name only, she can treat me like a commodity to obtain loans, forcing me to marry a gay man? In name only, she can force me to be violated by that rapist just to curry favor with the Chen family?! Zhang Dawei! Are you even a man?! Are you even my father?! Are you that afraid of that woman?! So afraid that you'd sacrifice your own daughter so easily?!"

Her pent-up grievances, anger, and despair, accumulated over more than a decade, erupted like a volcano! Her voice was sharp and mournful, filled with a tearful accusation!
"Yiyi! How...how could you think of your father like that!"

Zhang Dawei's face flushed red, filled with anxiety and anger, yet also with a deep sense of helplessness.

"Dad... Dad's doing this for the family! Business is tough... If we can't pay the loan... our whole family will starve! The Chen family... we can't afford to offend the Chen family! Chen Jinhua could bankrupt us with just one word! Aunt Jiang... she's doing this for the family's good too..."

"For the good of the family? Hahaha!"

Zhang Yiyi laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, tears streaming down her face. Her laughter was filled with despair and mockery.

"For the sake of the family, you're pushing me into a fire pit?! For the sake of the family, you're forcing me to commit suicide by cutting my wrists?! Zhang Dawei! Stop with your hypocritical rhetoric! You're just a coward! You're afraid of Jiang Qingfang! You're afraid of the Chen family! You're afraid of everything! You only dare to play the victim in front of me!"

"Snapped!"

Zhang Yiyi grabbed the water glass from the bedside table and smashed it on the floor! Glass shards and water splashed everywhere!
"Get out of here! Get out! I don't want to see you again! Get out!"

She cried out with all her might, her voice hoarse.

Qin Luo and Xiao Yu, who were outside the door, heard the arguing and the sound of a cup being smashed inside and immediately rushed in!
The ward was in a mess, with broken glass pieces scattered all over the floor.

Zhang Yi leaned against the headboard, crying uncontrollably, her face ashen white.

Zhang Dawei stood by the bed, his face ashen, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to say something.

"enough!"

Xiaoyu glared at Zhang Dawei, then stood in front of Zhang Yiyi's bed like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"Uncle Zhang! Please leave immediately! Yiyi needs to rest! If you upset her any further, I'll call security!"

Looking at his daughter's breakdown, then at Qin Luo's cold eyes and Xiao Yu's anger, Zhang Dawei finally sighed deeply, his back hunched over as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

He said nothing and staggered out of the ward.

As soon as Zhang Dawei left, Zhang Yiyi seemed to have all her strength drained away, and her cries became even more pitiful and desperate, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances.

Xiaoyu hugged her tenderly and gently patted her back.

"Yiyi, don't cry... don't cry... tell me, what... what did he say to you? Did he pressure you again...?"

Zhang Yiyi sobbed, speaking haltingly.

"He...he actually...made me go to Chen Tianshao after I recovered...and said...that as long as I obeyed...the Chen family would let our business go...Is he...is he still my father? How could he...how could he do this to me..." She broke down in tears at the end, overwhelmed by immense grief and disappointment.

Xiaoyu felt a chill run down her spine and gritted her teeth in anger.

"Beasts! Their whole family are beasts! Yiyi, a family like that doesn't deserve you..."

"Light rain!"

Zhang Yiyi suddenly stopped crying, abruptly raised her head, and although her face was still streaked with tears, a flame of determination, unlike anything she had ever seen before, ignited in her swollen eyes!
She gripped Xiaoyu's hand tightly, her voice trembling with a sense of desperation, yet incredibly clear.

"Help me...help me find a lawyer! The best lawyer! I want to sue! I want to get back what's rightfully mine! The courtyard house my grandparents left me! And...and half of the company my mother left me! I want every single penny back!"

She is no longer the weak woman who could be bullied and only knew how to cry.

Having walked on the edge of life and death, and then being completely heartbroken by her own father, after despair comes a decisive break that leads to rebirth!
Looking at the unprecedented light in her friend's eyes, Xiaoyu felt both heartache and relief, and nodded firmly without hesitation.

"Okay! Yiyi! I'll help you! I'll call my dad right now and have him have his company's best legal director handle this case for you! He'll definitely help you get what's rightfully yours back!"

Standing to the side, Qin Luo looked at the girl on the hospital bed who seemed to have been reborn, and a smile of approval and relief finally slowly appeared on his lips.

The Zhang family's troubles? The Chen family's threat? To him, they were nothing more than trivial matters that could be easily resolved, especially after he learned of Chen Jinhua's identity; he could solve them with just a word.

However, you can only help temporarily, not permanently.

True redemption comes not from external forces, but from inner awakening and resistance. Only when Zhang Yiyi stands up and takes up arms to fight can she truly break the shackles that bind her.

Now, she has finally taken this crucial step.

The planned trip to enjoy the scenery with Xiaoyu was completely canceled due to Zhang Yiyi's accident. Qin Luo and Xiaoyu spent the entire day at the hospital with Zhang Yiyi, watching her recover gradually after her blood transfusion, and also discussed the matter of finding a lawyer. It wasn't until nightfall that Qin Luo left the hospital and returned to the "Yunshanju" hotel.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Qin Luo had breakfast at the hotel's rooftop restaurant. As soon as he walked into the magnificent lobby, he saw a capable and efficient figure already waiting there.

Xia Minmin was dressed in a well-tailored light gray business suit, her long hair neatly styled in a bun, her makeup exquisite, and she exuded a powerful aura. Upon seeing Qin Luo, she immediately approached him with a professional and respectful smile.

"Good morning, Mr. Qin. I need to confirm today's schedule with you."

Qin Luo nodded, signaling her to continue.

Xia Minmin opened the tablet in her hand and gave a clear and fluent report.

"From 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., the company's core management team will hold an internal annual meeting in the conference hall on the top floor of the Douyin headquarters building. Participants will be directors and above from various departments. The theme of the meeting is to summarize the annual achievements and report on the strategic plan for the new year."

"A banquet will be held in the company's banquet hall from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There are no specific plans for the afternoon. You are free to do as you please or rest.

"From 7:30 pm to 10 pm, the company's annual celebration gala, also known as the second annual meeting, will be held at the Bird's Nest National Stadium. Attendees will include all senior executives of the company, elite core members of various departments, and top contracted internet celebrities on the platform. The gala will include celebrity performances, internet celebrity talent shows, and the presentation of annual awards."

Qin Luo listened silently, his face expressionless.

He wouldn't have shown any interest in these lengthy meetings and lavish parties if it weren't for the system's requirement for his attendance. However… he was rather curious about the reward for this mission.
Will Chen Jinhua participate?

Qin Luo suddenly asked, his tone calm.

"Yes, Mr. Qin."

Xia Minmin answered affirmatively.

"As the company's general manager, Ms. Chen is the main person in charge and a core participant in these two annual meetings, and she will definitely attend them in their entirety."

"Oh?"

A meaningful smile slowly curved Qin Luo's lips, and his eyes became deep and playful.

"That's good."

Finally... I'm going to officially meet the helmsman of Douyin, Chen Tianshao's doting and powerful mother.

The top-floor conference hall of the Douyin headquarters building.

The huge circular conference table was already packed with people.

The atmosphere was solemn and enthusiastic, yet tinged with a subtle tension and anticipation.

Those who can sit here are all core members of the Douyin empire, including directors of various departments and presidents of provincial branches. The group of over a hundred people are gathered together.

The annual internal meeting is an important occasion for reporting achievements and looking to the future, and it is also the moment for the first meeting with that mysterious new boss.

The time was 8:50.

There are only ten minutes left before the annual meeting officially begins.

Chen Jinhua sat upright in the second seat next to the head of the conference table.

A perfectly tailored Chanel navy blue suit accentuated her voluptuous and mature figure.

Her gaze, seemingly calm, swept across the room from behind her gold-rimmed glasses, but her slightly pursed red lips and the fingers unconsciously rubbing her crocodile-skin handbag under the table betrayed the turmoil within her.

She had been sitting there for half an hour.

He appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was like a fish being fried in oil.

The night before last, when her assistant told her that the person who injured her son was actually her new boss, Qin Luo, the shock and fear almost suffocated her!
She immediately realized that the seriousness of the situation far exceeded her expectations!
Her original plan was to take advantage of today's annual meeting to humble herself and apologize to Qin Luo, hoping to gain his understanding by virtue of her years of hard work in managing Douyin and her irreplaceable position.

She believed that no matter how angry the other party was, they would not actually remove her from the position of general manager because of such a "trivial matter".

Just then, my phone started vibrating incessantly in my pocket.

Chen Jinhua's heart skipped a beat when she saw it was her son Chen Tianshao's number. An extremely ominous premonition instantly gripped her!
She immediately got up, quickly walked to a quiet corner outside the meeting room, and answered the phone.

"Mom! Mom! Something terrible has happened!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was panicked and tearful.

"Yesterday morning... I... I sent Abiao to the Zhang family... to try and bring Zhang Yiyi over... but... but that bastard who hit me was there too! He beat Abiao up! He... he even asked Abiao to pass on a message to you..."

"What message are you trying to convey?!"

Chen Jinhua's heart sank to the bottom, and her voice trembled slightly.

“He…he said…” Chen Tianshao’s voice was filled with fear.

"I'll make you... I'll make you crawl to see him!"

boom.!

Like being struck by lightning! Chen Jinhua's vision went black, and he swayed, almost losing his balance and grabbing the wall for support! His last shred of hope was completely crushed!
All her plans and fantasies were utterly destroyed by her son's foolish actions at this moment!
It’s over! Completely finished!
A chilling despair instantly overwhelmed her! Qin Luo's anger was probably beyond quelling! Her days on Douyin were truly over!

She hung up the phone in a daze, her face ashen, and even her carefully applied makeup couldn't hide her dejection.

As she stumbled back to the conference room door, she saw Xia Minmin leading an excessively young man with a calm, mountain-like aura as he stepped into the conference hall.

It’s Qin Luo!

Just as Qin Luo's left foot stepped across the threshold of the conference hall...
A cold, clear electronic voice, audible only to him, suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding!"

"Successfully attended Douyin's annual meeting. Mission accomplished."

"Receive a reward and 40% of Kuaishou Group's shares."

"You have become the largest shareholder of Kuaishou Group."

Kuaishou Group?!
Qin Luo paused almost imperceptibly, a hint of surprise flashing in the depths of his eyes, which then turned into an unfathomable amusement.

A listed company with a market value of over 200 billion yuan, a giant in the domestic short video industry that rivals Douyin? Forty percent, worth 80 billion yuan! Just like that, he got it? Half of the entire short video industry, in one step, fell into his hands?
As Qin Luo and Xia Minmin entered, the previously quiet meeting room instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop! Hundreds of gazes, filled with awe, curiosity, scrutiny, and inquiry, all focused on this incredibly young and legendary boss!
