Chapter 197: 197 This Loss Cannot Be Eaten In Vain _1
Ding Yinuo glanced at the journalist who was sneakily taking pictures of us.
I shook my head to stop him, “Let it be, ignore him!”
“Alright, let’s go then!”
Grabbing the room key, he immediately pulled me into the elevator.
I, who initially agreed to stay up all night with him
Kicked off my shoes and climbed into the bed as soon as we entered the hotel room.
I fell asleep instantly once I lay down.
I was so tired, it felt like my eyelids were glued shut. I could faintly hear Ding Yinuo calling for me, but I didn’t have the strength to open my eyes.
When morning arrived
A phone call woke me, I groped for my phone clumsily and answered sleepily.
No sooner had I said hello, when Wenya started fuming at me.
“You two are shameless! I’m here suffering with you while both of you run off to have fun!”
“Hahaha!”
I finally began waking up, rolling around on the bed with the phone in my hand,
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. How about this? You guys come over and take a nap, I’ll book a room for you?”
“Absolutely, but not right now. Damn it, this sofa is so uncomfortable to sleep on, my neck’s all sore. You owe me a nice meal to soothe my hurt feelings.”
“Alright, I will be right there!”
I hung up the phone and finally noticed that Ding Yinuo was sitting on a chair, leaning his head back against the wall. Lost in thought, it seemed like he was deep in his thoughts about something.
“You didn’t sleep?”
“Couldn’t sleep.”
“How’s the situation now?”
I glanced at the time, and it was already nine in the morning.
It seemed like I had slept for quite a few hours.
Damn Ding Yinuo, he didn’t even bother to wake me up.
I quickly checked my phone.
Last night’s news about Ding Xiao had fallen off the trending list, replaced by news of Ding Yinuo.
“Can the doctor-turned-president handle his new role under pressure?” followed by numerous articles, were all focused around Ding Yinuo.
Among them, two articles in particular
“Newly appointed president of Tianjiao Company received flowers from a mysterious lady” and “Caught booking a hotel room in the middle of the night”.
It seems that Ding Yinuo’s trick worked as expected, successfully diverting the netizens’ attention towards the newly appointed president.
This turned public’s attention away from Ding Xiao, who had already resigned, thus avoiding any possibility of further escalating the situation.
However, the stock market did not do well.
Perhaps the stockholders lacked confidence in the newly-appointed president, causing Tianjiao’s stock to drop throughout the day, everything was in the red.
Fortunately, the stock began to rise in the afternoon .
With ups and downs over two days, Tianjiao Company still lost around a billion in market value.
Regarding this outcome
Ding Yinuo said that it was within his tolerance limit.
On the third day, Tianjiao’s stocks began to rise, and then gradually steadied.
It seemed like this was good news for Ding Yinuo.
In the evening, Ding Yinuo, in a great mood, invited everyone for dinner to celebrate.
Su Peisheng raised his glass to Ding Yinuo,
“Manager Ding, I’ve said it before, being a doctor was truly a waste of your talents! Now that you’ve transitioned into management, that’s the right path for you. Let’s drink to your success and hope things go better and better.”
Ding Yinuo laughed and said, “Say something nice!”
“What, wishing you make more money isn’t nice?”
“I don’t lack money! Change it up!”
Ding Yinuo raised his glass, his gaze falling on me.
Su Peisheng realised his mistake and overhauled his toast, laughing as he did so,
“Alright, then let’s toast to you and Miss Song having a child soon, and growing old together!”
“Pfft!”
I nearly spat out the drink I had just taken a sip of.
This guy just says whatever comes to his mind!
Ding Yinuo only laughed, turning to look deeply at me,
“That’s quite a good speech, I like it, cheers!”
And with that, he downed his drink.
After a few rounds of drinks, Ding Yinuo stepped out to take a call. In his absence, Wenya quietly moved closer to me.
“I heard from Su Peisheng that Ding Yinuo took quite a hit this time, he hasn’t completely recovered yet!”
“His mindset is good, so let’s develop slowly!”
“So, we’re just going to just let this wave pass and take a loss? Will Gu Yuanzhou stop his onslaught?”
Knowing Wenya’s anxious tone, I could guess that Su Peisheng probably disclosed Tianjiao Company’s current situation to her in private.
However, since Ding Yinuo was present earlier, they had avoided speaking of it, likely to prevent making Ding Yinuo uncomfortable.
From what I knew of Gu Yuanzhou, once he tasted victory, he would definitely strike again at the right time.
Especially now, with Ding Yinuo stepping up as the president of Tianjiao, he is even more likely to continue his attacks.
I took a sip of juice and said,
“Gui Yuanzhou will not stop He has a complete plan in his hands to deal with the Ding family. The incident about Ding Xiao was just the beginning.”
“Damn! A complete plan!”
Upon hearing this, Wenya was also taken aback.
“What’s his next move? What do we do?”
“I’m already thinking of a plan.”
“Can you beat Gu Yuanzhou?”
Faced with Wenya’s doubts, I fell silent.
Actually, I hadn’t been sitting around waiting for disaster to strike. I had thought of a plan. Originally, I intended to report tax evasion, but Gu Yuanzhou took action first, cutting off his own arm for self-preservation.
“Ayun, since you’ve seen the plan already, can’t you just prepare in advance?”
“But, I may not be able to block every move. Moreover, he might not follow everything according to the plan So, the only thing I can do is to strike first.”
“Ayun, give it your best shot. You have to save Ding Yinuo.”
Wenya looked outside.
I followed her gaze and saw Ding Yinuo.
In fact, although these friends were quite anxious, Ding Yinuo seemed very stable, like there was nothing wrong.
After finishing his call, he came back in.
“Whose call?”
I asked him.
“Oh, it was from my mom. She said my dad’s health has improved a lot, and he’ll be discharged from the hospital today.”
“Manager Ding, what illness does your dad have?”
Wenya asked.
Ding Yinuo answered, “He has a heart problem. He once had a bypass surgery. He can’t take any form of stimulation now. Ah, there’s no helping it, old people have their health issues as they age.”
Wenya nodded, “I can understand that. Elderly people often have some health issues. My dad is the same, with hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia.”
“With those conditions, you need to pay attention to diet, it should be light. Make sure he exercises regularly.”
“By the way, Manager Ding, how are your brother and sister-in-law doing?”
“These few days, my sister-in-law took the kid and went back to her parents’ place. She said she wanted some time to calm down ”
“It seems your sister-in-law is having trouble letting go of this issue!”
I remarked, “The deeper the love, the deeper the hurt! It’s tough to get over this hurdle. Some people can’t get past it in their entire lives. If a couple wants to stay together, it’s best not to cheat.”
“Right, with my parents’ age, I guess I don’t have to worry about this issue.” Ding Yinuo said thoughtfully.
I suddenly thought of something and put down my juice, seriously saying to Ding Yinuo, “Once you get back, try to convince your parents to get a divorce.”
