Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 14 The young lady is eating really well.
In the afternoon, when people are most tired, the hospital is quiet.

In order not to disturb the other patients in the ward, Ming Chengze closed the ward door before speaking.

"Dad, the idea my sister came up with this time, combined with my cooperation, really worked well. Many people now believe that our Ming family has been wronged." Ming Chengze's face was beaming with a happy smile like a child.

The short video was very successful, and Ming Chengze rushed to the hospital to share the good news with Ming Hui and Yan Jie.

“I showed the video you took to your dad yesterday, and he was overjoyed!”

The son, who had never brought honor to the Ming Group before, was able to help the Ming Group "clear its name" after the group ran into trouble, which made Ming Hui and Yan Jie look at Ming Chengze with new respect.

"Dad, this time it's all thanks to my sister's quick thinking that she came up with a solution. I think my sister is really great!"

Ming Chengze's roundabout way of putting it was to express that the Ming family members were capable of shouldering the responsibilities of the Ming family and that no one else needed to get involved.

The sudden ringing of a cell phone interrupted Ming Chengze's conversation. Yan Jie picked up Ming Hui's phone and glanced at it. The caller was his chief secretary, Cai Haiyun.

Only the Ming family of three were in the ward. Yan Jie answered the phone and put it on speakerphone.

"Madam, how is the Chairman today?"

"He's in good condition. He can babble a few words, and his right little finger can move a little."

"That's good!" Cai Haiyun paused for a moment, and after confirming that the office door was closed, he continued, "I was quite busy today, so I apologize for the late call."

Yan Jie replied politely, "Not at all. The situation must have been quite chaotic today. We are already very grateful that you took the time to call."

Yan Jie's heart was in her throat all day. She was worried that Pei Ming, who was young and had never worked at Ming's Group before, wouldn't be able to handle the people in the company.

"Today's board meeting went smoothly. President Pei is indeed worthy of the chairman's favor. With just a few words, he silenced all the directors."

Cai Haiyun's words startled Ming Chengze. Pei Ming had already taken up his post at the company? Why hadn't anyone told him such an important thing?

It's one thing if my parents didn't tell me! But why did they even keep it from Mingwei?! I'm so angry!

"really?"

This good news brought smiles of satisfaction to Yan Jie and Ming Hui's faces.

"Once I'm done with my work today, I'll pull up the monitoring footage from the board meeting and show it to you both."

"Okay, Lao Cai, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you these next few days..." Yan Jie's tone made it clear that she was asking Cai Haiyun for a favor.

"We are so grateful for the care the chairman has given our family over the years. What I am doing now is just what I should do."

"Pei Ming has only just arrived at the company, so I'll have to trouble you to teach him about the people and things here."

People and things are often the most complex things in a company.

Cai Haiyun smiled calmly, "President Pei is a smart man, I believe he will understand immediately."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yan Jie hung up the phone, and her anxiety subsided.

However, Ming Chengze, who was standing next to her, was furious: "Mom, am I an outsider now? How could I not know anything about such a big thing!"

"Everyone's been pretty busy these past few days, that's why I didn't have time to tell you." Yan Jie felt a little embarrassed for not telling Ming Chengze that Pei Ming had become the CEO of the Ming Group. She really didn't mean to hide it from Ming Chengze; it's just that time has flown by, and she's had too many things to worry about every day, so she simply forgot about him.

"Stop lying to me! You don't care about me at all!" Ming Chengze said, then turned and left angrily.

Originally, Ming Chengze had planned to take this opportunity to return to the company and help Ming Weiyi, fulfilling his responsibilities as a member of the Ming family. However, he never expected that his parents would not care about him at all, which made Ming Chengze extremely angry.

In my parents' eyes, I'm not even as good as an outsider!
"Cheng...ze...!"

A human instinct made Minghui call out to Mingchengze, shouting as loudly as he could, as if afraid Mingchengze wouldn't hear him.

His father's call made Ming Chengze stop in his tracks. He turned around and glanced at Ming Hui, who was struggling to point at him with his non-paralyzed left hand. From his expression, it was clear that he wanted to keep him here.

Seeing Ming Chengze stop, Ming Hui hurriedly spoke again with difficulty, "Do...do...you...like...like..."

Seeing that Minghui looked and looked very distressed, but couldn't utter a complete sentence, Yan Jie interrupted, "Are you trying to say that Chengze should do what he likes to do, and pursue his art?"

Minghui nodded vigorously. He had to admire Yan Jie; she truly understood him.

Ming Chengze found it hard to believe. "Dad, do you really think that?"

Ming Chengze thought that since his father was now sick and the company was in trouble, his father must want to keep him by his side.

Minghui nodded. He was fortunate to have been treated in time and survived. During the few days he spent in the hospital, he also figured out a lot of things.

"Your dad must think that life is unpredictable, so you should do what you like to do."

After Yan Jie finished speaking, Ming Hui raised his left hand and slowly gave Yan Jie a thumbs up.

Ming Group
The bright sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows was blinding; in the afternoon, I was barely holding on to my last breath as I worked for the company.

"Holy crap! This is shocking news!" Qi Fei almost spat out the milk tea she had just sipped. She reflexively put down her milk tea and moved her seat next to Ming Weiyi.

"What gossip?" Ming Wei thought Qi Fei's face meant that it was another top celebrity having an affair, getting divorced, or having a child.

"My colleagues in the legal department said that Ming's Group has a new CEO today."

"And then?" Ming Wei also pretended to be eager to hear what was going on.

"Our new CEO is actually Pei Ming, the super handsome guy I showed you the other day!"

Qi Fei's surprised tone and incredulous expression made Ming Wei want to laugh, but she had to hold it in and pretend to be surprised as well.

"No way! What's his connection to the Ming Group?"

"My friend said he's the husband of the eldest daughter of the Ming family! What a small world! No wonder he traveled all the way to Jiangcheng to hold a press conference a few days ago, it turns out it's because his wife is in Jiangcheng!"

Mingwei was completely dumbfounded!
What the heck! What's going on here?! A few days ago when he came to Jiangcheng for a press conference, I didn't even know who Pei Ming was. How did it suddenly become that he came all the way from afar to find me?

"Oh, I see..." Ming Wei was so embarrassed she could have carved out a huge villa out of it.

"I must say, Miss eats really well! My friend met our CEO with President Li today, and she said he's even more handsome and has a stronger presence in person than in the videos."

Mingwei feigned surprise to fool Qi Fei, saying, "Young Miss, you eat so well! Do you even know that Young Miss was completely bewildered when she got her marriage certificate?!"
