This man knows how to hype

Chapter 201: Lao Ke, are you confused?

The snow continued to fall for three days.

It finally cleared up today.

Sunshine always seems to contain hope.

Ke Zhaoting, who was in the ICU, was transferred to the general ward on this hopeful day.

In order to prevent him from being pushed back in again just after leaving the ICU, Ke Xinying, who came to visit and sign the form, said nothing. She just sat quietly at the head of the bed, peeling an apple with a knife.

Her hands were steady, and she peeled the apple very neatly into a long string that hung down.

However, Ke Zhaoting doesn't like eating apples, he prefers eating grapefruit.

But it doesn’t matter. My daughter peeled the apple herself, and even if I didn’t like it, I forced myself to take a few bites. I’ve never had that in all these years.

Soon, the skin was peeled and thrown into the trash can. Ke Zhaoting looked at the apple in his daughter's hand, stretched out his hand slightly, and was about to say, "Yingying, you have finally grown up."

Ke Xinying put the peeled apple to her mouth, and it made a crisp "click" sound.

“???” Ke Zhaoting.

"What are you looking at? Don't you dislike apples?" Ke Xinying said in a light tone.

"..." Ke Zhaoting was speechless and could only comfort himself by saying that at least she still remembered that I didn't like apples.

The ward became quiet again.

The only sound was Ke Xinying chewing an apple.

After a while, Ke Zhaoting realized something was wrong and asked in confusion: "Where are your brother and your mother? Why didn't they come?"

Hearing this question, Ke Xinying glanced at Ke Zhaoting on the bed and said coldly: "My mother?"

"Yingying, whether you admit it or not, she is indeed your stepmother. It is more important than anything else for our family to live a good life in the future. Some things should be left in the past." Ke Zhaoting said in a teaching tone.

Hearing this, Ke Xinying threw away the apple in her hand, took out a wet towel from the bedside table and wiped her hands. Then she stood up and walked to the window.

Looking at the white snow outside, she calmed down for a while.

Then he replied: "Ke Mingcheng ran into some trouble and couldn't get away. As for Liu Nianzhu, don't you think about why you went to the hospital? She won't come."

Ke Zhaoting, who was lying on the hospital bed, leaned forward and looked at his daughter's pretty back by the window. He said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, "Does she have a grudge against me for cheating on her?"

"You don't have to blame yourself too much. Firstly, everyone is used to it. Secondly... there is no second choice." Ke Xinying paused here and ultimately did not say secondly, Liu Nianzhu is not a good person either.

Ke Zhaoting didn't care about this detail.

The dissatisfaction on his face turned into embarrassment at this time, so he changed the subject and said, "Um, Yingying, the official seal is still with you, right?"

"It should be there. Anyway, you reset the password of the safe, and I can't open it. It's highly unlikely that it's lost."

These words made Ke Zhaoting's face even more embarrassed.

He defended himself, "I'm doing this for your own good. If I tell you the password, the official seal will be a hot potato for you."

"If someone knew that the official seal was in the safe in my study, and I said I didn't know the password, do you think they would believe me?

If something goes wrong this time and you can't wake up, won't I be unable to defend myself and be roasted on the fire?" Ke Xinying said with some sarcasm in her tone.

"..." Ke Zhaoting was ridiculed so much that he didn't know what to say.

In fact, he reset his password for only one reason, which was that he didn't trust Ke Xinying. The excuse of doing it for her good was just a made-up excuse.

Now that it's been exposed, it's naturally very embarrassing.

When Ke Xinying found that there was no movement behind her, she turned around and looked at her old father who was lying on the bed with gauze wrapped around his head. His image was as funny as his words just now.

She no longer had the patience to stay, so she said goodbye, "I have to go sign a contract today, I'll come see you another day, you should rest and recover."

After saying that, she didn't care whether Ke Zhaoting agreed or not. She picked up her bag from the bedside table and walked out the door.

She was going to sign a share transfer agreement, taking away all her 3.8% stake.

There was a soft sound of a door closing, and Ke Zhaoting leaned back down again.

After leaning against it for a while, he thought of something, reached out for his cell phone and made a call.

After half an hour.

A woman who looked to be in her thirties entered the ward with two other people. This woman was Ke Zhaoting's secretary Liu Pingping, who had been with him for five or six years.

Liu Pingping looks very ordinary, and even has a neat short haircut. At first glance, she looks like a micro-business lecturer.

It was precisely because of her image that Liu Nianzhu did not ask Ke Zhaoting to change his secretary. If she was a prettier one, Liu Nianzhu would not let her stay.

"You go out first." Ke Zhaoting waved to the two people who followed him, leaving Liu Pingping alone.

Then he said, “A Ping, when I was in the ICU, I was wondering who sent me the paternity test, and the more I thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.

I think this must have been done by someone inside the company, or maybe by those stubborn shareholders, so you should find a way to investigate." Looking at Ke Zhaoting who was making arrangements in a serious manner, Liu Pingping looked a little embarrassed.

She opened her mouth, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

Now everyone knows that the paternity test was sent by Ke Mingcheng.

Three days.

In three days, Liu Nianzhu's loudspeaker confessed everything.

There is not much news on the Internet now.

But the senior executives within the group are all very well-informed. Once the senior executives are informed, the middle executives will know as well. Once the middle executives know as well, the news will spread to the grassroots level as well.

In a nutshell, everyone in the group knows about it.

Ke Zhaoting also noticed Liu Pingping's strangeness and frowned, "What's with that expression on your face? Are you hiding something from me? Tell me!"

"Boss, this...uh...that, Mr. Ke has instructed..." Liu Pingping was still hesitant.

Seeing this, Ke Zhaoting interrupted directly, "Boss Ke? Ke Mingcheng is the boss, so I am not the boss? You need to figure out who is the big and small king."

"It's not Mr. Xiao Ke, it's Ms. Ke Xinying," Liu Pingping explained.

"Yingying?" A bad premonition rose from Ke Zhaoting's heart, and he thought for a moment.

Then he asked urgently, "A Ping, you need to figure out who you belong to. Tell me, what's going on?"

"Boss, the paternity test has been concluded. It was Ke Mingcheng who sent it to you. He specifically picked the time when the woman's boyfriend was at home. He knew a long time ago that the child was not your biological child."

When Liu Pingping said this, her eyes kept wandering left and right, sometimes looking at the blue bed curtains, sometimes looking at the white sheets, but she didn't dare to look at Ke Zhaoting's blackened face.

"Huh? Ha! Huh?" Three sneers squeezed out of Ke Zhaoting's throat.

His chest began to rise and fall, and his breathing gradually became heavier.

After a while, he calmed down and said in a sinister voice, "I knew that this beast has always been holding a grudge against me. Is he very proud now? Has he started to jump around in the company to seize power?"

"No, don't worry." Liu Pingping, who had been looking down at the floor tiles, quickly comforted him.

"You don't have to comfort me. Isn't this the reason why this beast did this?"

"Really not. He might have had this idea, but my uncle didn't give him a chance and sent him directly to the police station. He's been detained now and hasn't come out yet."

"???" A trace of confusion flashed across Ke Zhaoting's eyes again, "Uncle-in-law? Who is the uncle-in-law?"

"Xu Xiyu, who else could it be? You only have one daughter." Liu Pingping said as a matter of course, isn't this an open relationship?

The news spread throughout the group's top management. It was revealed that Xu Xiyu first captured Liu Nianzhu and then dealt with Ke Mingcheng, causing the two to start an internal conflict without even meeting each other.

The updated version is more exciting than the movie, and it makes people want to gossip.

Of course, Ke Xinying and Xu Xiyu have never admitted it.

In their words, it's a coincidence, everything is a coincidence, and they don't want this to happen.

Ke Zhaoting, who was lying on the hospital bed, naturally didn't know all this.

So, after hearing that Xu Xiyu sent Ke Mingcheng to the police station, his already confused mind became even more confused.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Liu Pingping continue to comfort him: "Boss, you should rest and recover. There is indeed some unrest within the group right now. It is time for you to go back and stabilize the situation."

"What about Nianzhu? Has she gone to work recently?" Ke Zhaoting asked about Liu Nianzhu again.

"Uh..." Obviously, Liu Pingping didn't know how to answer again.

"Is she still angry with me, so she didn't go to work?" Ke Zhaoting guessed.

"How can she be angry with you?" Liu Pingping muttered speechlessly.

When Ke Zhaoting heard this grumble, he thought Liu Pingping was just saying that since Liu Nianzhu was with a rich man like him, she would have to endure the affair even if she cheated on him, so she had no right to be angry with him.

So, he smiled and waved his hand, saying: "That's the truth, but I was wrong this time after all, and I am somewhat ashamed."

"Just talking about this matter, you don't have to feel ashamed." Liu Pingping said helplessly.

"If you were in ancient times, you would be a traitor. It's not enough to just say nice things. If you are wrong, you are wrong." It's unclear whether Ke Zhaoting wanted to put on a show or really realized that he was wrong.

He continued to talk to himself, "Well, you can help me go see Nuzhu and tell her that I know I was wrong. Ask her to come to the hospital and I will apologize to her in person.

Also, if you choose a gift for me, buy a 500-gram gold bar. She will be happy when she sees gold... Hey, Ping, what's that expression on your face?"

"Um... ahem... what is that... that's it..." Liu Pingping cleared her throat and hesitated for a long time before saying, "She... she may not be able to come for the time being."

There was confusion in Ke Zhaoting's eyes. He first supported his body with his hands to make himself sit more comfortably.

Then he turned to Liu Pingping and asked doubtfully, "Why?"
