On the upper floor of the main building of Yancheng Hexie Hospital, more than a dozen top scholars in the industry are conducting expert consultations. The person sitting on the main seat is an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, the highest leader and full-time dean of Hexie Hospital.
In the intensive care ward tens of meters away, complex instruments were performing detailed real-time monitoring without falling to the ground for a second. Medical staff in snow-white overalls were busy going in and out, but they didn't make much noise.
The air was almost stagnant, and only the beeping of the instrument could be heard.
Like a warning, but also like a countdown.
Outside the intensive care unit, the exclusive escort area was full of elites in suits and leather shoes, and a few executives who usually didn't even want to put their names together stood together, and the atmosphere was unusually peaceful and quiet.
A nurse came out of the ward in a hurry. When several executives saw it, they stepped forward one after another and asked, "How is the situation of Director Liu?"
Those who didn't know, thought they were the real family members of the patient.
What the nurse gave was still the usual statement before: "The patient's condition is temporarily stable."
Without effective information, executives are still unwilling to give up: "So can we meet him now?"
The nurse shook her head: "Sorry, the visiting time is in the afternoon."
Several people looked slightly worried, but this is not an office, and the nurse is not a subordinate who rushes to make amends when they frown. Even if they were unwilling, the executives could only let the nurse leave in the end and continue to wait where they were.
These people who usually claim that a second is worth a thousand dollars are reluctant to leave now, even if they are waiting to waste time, they still have to stay at the door of the ward.
After all, the person lying in this ward is Liu Gaoyi, the chairman of Taiping Group.
He also holds the largest stake in Taiping.
Liu Gaoyi has no heirs, and his relatives have never participated in the operation of the group. He has kept secret about his successor, and even after he was hospitalized for a sudden cerebral thrombosis, he still hasn't carried out equity related operations.
Seeing that Liu Gaoyi's health is getting worse day by day, the stakeholders are all anxious. However, until the last moment, no one knows whose arms this overwhelming gift of wealth and honor will eventually fall into.
They could only wait in agony, smiling kindly on the surface, putting aside their usual quarrels, and greeting each other with those old opponents who had fought bloody battles.
The surging undercurrent hidden under the peaceful appearance is colder and more pungent than the smell of disinfectant here.
In the afternoon, after finally waiting for the visiting time to approach, Mrs. Liu, who had been sitting silently on the bench by the wall, suddenly got up and went downstairs.
All eyes followed her silently, guessing what she was going to do.
Although the ICU only has 15 minutes of visiting time twice a day, because there may be emergencies at any time, family members must stay outside the door even during non-visiting hours.
Liu Gaoyi has no offspring, and the family members who have been taking care of him in the hospital are his sister and wife. My younger sister is an honest and dull country peasant woman who doesn't know anything about Taiping. If the executives want to find out the news, they can only start with Mrs. Liu.
But Mrs. Liu was born in a scholarly family, and she was noble and dignified. All kinds of contacts between the executives, both open and secret, were rejected, and in the end they all returned without success.
The only thing they were lucky about was that Mrs. Liu treated everyone equally and kept silent about all the inquiries, so no one could take advantage of them.
But this delicate psychological balance was smashed to pieces when Mrs. Liu returned—
No one could have imagined that Mrs. Liu went downstairs to pick up a person herself.
As soon as that cold-faced man appeared, the faces of all the executives present changed.
Why did Lu Nan come over
In the past two days, he has acted as CEO, and he has done a lot in Taiping. Could it be that he still wants to get involved in the matter of shares? But judging by age and qualifications, it is impossible to get his turn...
Several people were full of questions, but they were about to inquire, but the visiting time had already arrived.
The executives watched as Mrs. Liu took Lu Nan to the intensive care unit.
They had been waiting for such a long time for their visiting qualifications, but they were snatched away by Lu Nan.
The intensive care unit is very quiet, and the furnishings are also quite exquisite. If there are no complicated instruments, it can even be called warm and comfortable.
On the blue hospital bed, an old man with gray hair was resting with his eyes closed. The gully between his brows was quite deep, and through a breathing mask, he still couldn't conceal his calm and majestic demeanor.
Madam Liu stepped forward and called out in a low voice.
The old man slowly opened his eyes with a calm expression. He didn't show any emotions until he saw Lu Nan beside the bed.
"you… "
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he coughed uncontrollably, breathing hard and intermittently.
"Cough, you're finally here..."
A distorted heavy breath came from the breathing mask, and even the tone of the voice changed, mixed with coughing, which became more and more indistinct.
But the old man insisted on speaking: "I have prepared the equity transfer document, you can go to a lawyer and sign it directly..."
He coughed so badly that he could hardly breathe. Lu Nan whispered, "Take a break."
The old man insisted on continuing, and he even raised his hand with difficulty to remove the breathing mask on his face, so that the voice could be heard more clearly.
"In the future... Taiping will be handed over to you. This is what Big Brother Lu left for you..."
When Lu Hongji was mentioned, Liu Gaoyi's eyes turned red, and the layers of lines at the corners of his eyes were gradually moistened with tears.
"At that time, I didn't know a lot of big characters, and even my name was given to me by him... Gao Yi, Gao Yi, I can't be sorry to my elder brother..."
His arms trembled slightly, and his wrinkled hands held Lu Nan's tightly, as if he was entrusting his last thoughts to him.
"Little Falcon, do you know...you are exactly the same as your father, born to do this, Uncle Liu believes in you..."
The old man was out of breath, and it was even more difficult to speak for such a long time. But even so, his tone was still not weakened by half, but became more determined.
"Tai Ping is yours... only yours."
After saying the last word, he coughed violently.
Madam Liu took the breathing mask that had been left aside, and carefully breathed for him.
Lu Nan has always been reticent, and now he only said one sentence: "Uncle Liu, don't worry."
"Hey, hey." Liu Gaoyi responded repeatedly, "I don't worry..."
When the medical staff came in and helped the patient put on the breathing mask again, the first 15 minutes of visiting time was over. Mrs. Liu and Lu Nan walked out, and the executives who had circled around outside the door hurried forward. They were trying to compete for the second visit, but they were suddenly stopped by a group of black suits who appeared at an unknown time.
Before the executives could react, they had been forcibly taken away from the escort area. The corridor was cleared in an instant. Not long after, a few plainclothes men cleared the way and escorted a smiling and kind elder.
The visitor stepped forward to shake hands with Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu bowed slightly: "Please worry about the leader."
The elder smiled and said: "It should be, Mr. Liu has made such a great contribution to our economy.
Lu Nan didn't listen to the subsequent conversation.
He left from the escort area and went downstairs, and the long-awaited special assistant Fang Musen immediately greeted him.
"Lawyer He is waiting for you in the top office of Taiping Building. The transfer agreement can be signed now."
"The announcement of the resignation of the chairman has been issued..."
Fang Musen reported the matter one by one in a low voice, and quickly followed Lu Nan to the parking lot.
After finishing the report, Fang Musen paused for a moment, then said again: "Do you need to..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Nan had already given the answer: "No."
His voice was deep and calm, like an ancient well without waves.
"Follow the process."
According to the process, the board of directors will end next Monday, and the news of the appointment of the new chairman will be officially announced, both inside and outside the group.
that's enough.
The land disaster does not need to announce the momentum in advance.
Although he is only 30 years old, Lu Nan's journey to become the chairman of Taiping Group has never been more steadfast, and every step is justified and unquestionable.
Lu Nan originally owned 8% of the shares of Taiping Group, plus the 36% of the shares of the three foundations, foundations and investment companies under Liu Gaoyi's name. Become the controlling shareholder of Taiping Group and hold the largest real share.
Liu Gaoyi was right.
——Taiping can only be caused by Lu Nan.
Fang Musen bowed his head, saying yes respectfully.
When they walked out of the hospital, it was gray and cold outside.
The autumn is bleak, the cool breeze blows, and the wind is rustling.
It's really going to change.
The news of Taiping Group's high-level changes spread quickly. When the news came that Lu Nan was promoted to chairman, Wu Xin also changed his face.
In the latest ranking of the world's top 500 companies, Taiping Group has already ranked among the top 100, and its development over the years is actually stronger than that of the Lu family who stayed in Xiangjiang. However, although Taiping was established and expanded by Lu Nan's father, Lu Hongji, Lu's father left early. For these years, Liu Gaoyi has actually been in charge of Taiping and has been in charge of the real power.
Thirteen years ago, Lu Hongji's only son, Lu Nan, became an adult and got the shares left by his father. Although he joined the Taiping Group later, his position was neither high nor low, which was very embarrassing. In addition, Lu Nan has always been disliked by the Lu family, so his situation is actually quite embarrassing.
There have even been rumors in the market that the former crown prince is Liu Gaoyi's confidant and serious trouble, and Liu "want to get rid of him quickly".
But no one thought that Liu Gaoyi would leave all his shares to Lu Nan in the end!
Looking back at Lu Nan's low-key but wide-ranging employment experience in the group over the years, it is not the depreciation speculated in various rumors, it is clearly a chain of field training.
——As if Liu Gaoyi had planned it from the very beginning, deliberately paving the way for Lu Nan.
When the news spread, there was an uproar. But no matter how shocking and turbulent the group is, Lu Nan's shares are firmly grasped. He also jumped from the least valued junior of the Lu family to the chairman of the giant consortium.
The identity of the marriage partner rose overnight, but Wu Xin's first reaction after learning about it was not happiness, but regret.
That's Taiping Group! The tax paid in one day alone is dozens of times the total assets of the Wu family.
Even Xiangjiang Lujia is not in the same order of magnitude as it.
Wu Xin couldn't help feeling sad.
If she had known this... If she had known this, she should have married her own daughter instead of pushing Lin and He into marriage.
But now the people in Lu Nan have taken a good look at Lin Yuhe's information, and the marriage has been decided, so Wu Xin has no chance to change candidates.
She could only comfort herself with the age difference between her daughter and Lu Nan, and the rumor that Lu Nan was extremely bad.
Taking another look at Lin Yuhe who was quietly sitting across from him, Wu Xin reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, this stepson has always been easy to handle, and if he is pushed to marry him, the benefits the Wu family can get will not be much worse.
Here, Wu Xin's thoughts were already in a thousand turns, but Lin Yuhe, who was one step away, was not disturbed at all. In the past two days, there have been huge changes in the entire Yancheng, and even the financial industry of the whole country, which actually have no impact on him.
He was concentrating on the tablet in front of him.
Lin Yuhe had full classes on Tuesday, from seven in the morning until ten in the evening. When he received Wu Xin's message before, he thought he only needed to go out for a meal. Unexpectedly, Wu Xin called him out early in the morning after learning the news that Lu Nan was promoted to the chairman, saying that he wanted to wait for Mr. Lu.
And there was no news from that Mr. Lu until the afternoon, which caused Lin Yuhe to miss a whole day of class.
Medical students have a lot of homework, and it is very laborious to make up for falling behind. Waiting is also waiting, Lin Yuhe took advantage of this time to read the book.
When Wu Xin was busy looking for information from various sources, he had already completed three sets of questions.
After Wu Xin stabilized his mind and called him, Lin Yuhe put away the tablet.
"It seems that Mr. Lu should invite you over at dinner time."
Wu Xin warned him: "I've told you everything I need to say, you must pay attention to your own performance."
Regarding the marriage, Wu Xin gave a very detailed introduction.
The relationship between Lu Nan and the Lu family has always been bad. This time, Lu Nan decided to get married because the second young master of the Lu family planned to get married, and the Lu family urged Lu Nan to get married first because he could not violate the family rules that his elder brother got married first.
Lu Nan's temperament is notoriously hard and cold in Xiangjiang, even his subordinates are trembling with him, and he has no close pillow people. His parents had passed away, so the elders of the Lu family decided to introduce him to a blind date.
Wu Xin said that because the family backgrounds of those blind date candidates were too involved with Lu's elders, Lu Nan didn't want to find them, so he found a suitable partner among the partners in the mainland and planned to get married by agreement.
So she warned Lin Yuhe a long time ago, and now she began to emphasize it repeatedly.
"Although this marriage is an agreement, you can't let anyone see the clue. You have to be very intimate with Mr. Lu, like a real couple."
After hearing such absurd words, Lin Yuhe didn't express anything, just said: "Okay."
Wu Xin repeated many trivial requests, and it was not over until both Lin and He agreed one by one.
During the conversation, she did not know how many times she looked at the watch.
But there is still no news from the people on Lu Nan's side.
To be honest, after waiting for so long, Wu Xin was actually not sure whether Lu Nan would come. She even thought that Young Master Lu would not show up until he got married. Moreover, Taiping Group just announced the news of the change in the top management after the board meeting yesterday, so it must be very busy now.
However, their waiting was not in vain. In the evening, a dark gray Bentley came to pick them up and drove to the door.
It wasn't Lu Nan himself who came, but his special assistant Fang Musen.
Wu Xin quickly stood up to meet him, Fang Musen came over and nodded to the two of them.
"Young Master Lin, Ms. Wu."
His attitude is very polite, but also imperceptibly with a touch of dignity.
Wu Xin, who had been putting on airs in front of Lin Yuhe, didn't have any opinion on this. After all, the gap between them and the Lu family was too huge.
What's more, Lu Nan has now become the chairman of Taiping.
Fang Musen didn't delay any longer: "Mr. Lu's request must have been clear to both of you, so I won't go into details. Young Master Lin, please come with me."
Lin Yuhe got up, Wu Xin also followed, and said with a smile: "Youhe is young, and there are some things that I don't quite understand, otherwise I will go with him this time."
She made up her mind to meet Lu Nan. Today is not what it used to be, and even a casual disclosure of the current Lu disaster can bring countless benefits to people.
Fang Musen heard it, but stopped. He looked at Wu Xin with obvious doubts in his tone.
"The two gentlemen are dating, what does Ms. Wu want to do?"
Wu Xin was a little embarrassed by his question, and said with a dry smile, "After all, this is the first time we met..."
Fang Musen's expression turned cold: "Ms. Wu speaks carefully."
"You should be clear that Young Master Lin is Mr. Lu's marriage partner." He warned, "It's the first time we meet this kind of nonsense, I hope there will be no next time."
Xu Shi had followed Lu Nan for a long time, and when Fang Musen's face darkened, there was also a faint chill that made people shiver.
Wu Xin was at a loss for words. She remembered that she had repeatedly warned Lin Yuhe to pretend to be intimate and not to reveal her secrets, but it turned out that she had made a mistake, so she couldn't help being speechless.
In the end, she could only reply in a sly way: "Yes, yes, I understand."
Fang Musen glanced at his watch and said, "It's getting late, Mr. Lu's time is precious, I want to send Young Master Lin there, Ms. Wu, please go back."
Wu Xin had no choice but to leave in the end.
Fang Musen took Lin and He into the car, walked to the side of the car, he stepped forward first, opened the door for Lin and He, and raised his hand to rest on the roof of the car.
"Young Master Lin, please."
Lin Yuhe was a little surprised: "Thank you."
Fang Musen's attitude was much gentler than when he faced Wu Xin just now, he respectfully replied: "It's a matter of duty."
Lin and He got in the car, Fang Musen went to the co-driver, and said: "Mr. Lu is waiting for you at the ring restaurant on the top floor of the IFC. He has a meeting, which ended two minutes ago, and he couldn't leave, so he sent me to pick you up first. "
Lin Yuhe didn't understand why the other party explained this to him, but he still nodded in response: "Okay."
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the IFC Building. The two walked into the lobby, and the waiter pressed the elevator for them, but Fang Musen didn't go in.
Lin Yuhe was surprised: "Aren't you going up?"
Fang Musen bowed slightly, and replied: "This is a date for the two gentlemen, no one else will disturb you."
Lin Yuhe reacted belatedly.
Is this actually a real date
The elevator went up nearly a hundred floors, and when it reached the top floor, the waiter just led Lin Yuhe to the door of the restaurant, and then stopped.
Thinking of facing that strange Mr. Lu alone, Lin Yuhe finally felt a little nervous.
He felt as if he was going to attend an extremely important interview or defense.
Because the atmosphere was so similar, Lin and He even recalled their experience in defending the National Award.
But even then, he was much more confident than he is now.
The sensor door opened slowly, Lin Yuhe took a deep breath and walked in.
The restaurant on the top floor has been emptied, there are no orders from customers, and no waiters come in. In the bright and spacious circular hall, there was only one person.
As soon as Lin Yuhe approached, the man cast his gaze over.
Lin Yuhe has always been afraid of the cold, and it is cold in late autumn, and the current temperature is already enough for him. Swept away by the man's cold, temperatureless gaze, he felt a little colder.
Like invisible frost, bit by bit his body was frozen stiff.
