The sky was overcast, there was no wind, and walking on the road was a little depressing. Towards the middle of winter, the trees withered, and almost overnight, they became bare.

An Xiaoxi wrapped her cashmere coat and got into the car.

"Mr. An, Mr. Qiao has made an appointment with a place, will you go over now?"

The driver was alert to An Xiaoxi in the rearview mirror, her face was not very good, and she was a little pale. After all, he is Qiao Wenhan's current favorite at the top, and a little neglect may not be guaranteed.

An Xiaoxi nodded slightly, and the driver started the car.

The car had already prepared breakfast, a hot English breakfast, An Xiaoxi's appetite was not too good, just drank some tea, and nothing else moved. The driver was in a hurry, and when Miss Hoi An got out of the car with a tired face, Mr. Qiao would definitely blame him, saying that he was not well entertained.

The two of them didn't say anything along the way, An Xiaoxi closed her eyes and recuperated, still thinking about the content of the message Qiao Wenhan sent her.

Mr. Qiao came back and personally guided the affairs of the Jinqiao Group as a consultant. And An Xiaoxi, as the representative of the Meijia Group directly invested by Jin Qiao, must go to report to the work.

I'm about to go back to Tokyo, but I'm always feeling uneasy about the big changes.

The purpose of Old Man Qiao's retirement was that he was too old and had no intention of managing. As the successor, Qiao Wenhan has rarely asked since he took over the Jinqiao Group. Now that such a move has suddenly come, not to mention external suspicions, rumors have already spread within the group.

Some people say that Mr. Qiao came to rectify and suppress the unhealthy trend of the current group, so that Qiao Wenhan could better display his strengths. There are also some people who say that Old Man Qiao went out of the mountain in person because he was dissatisfied with Qiao Wenhan's approach and wanted to revive Jin Qiao's morale.

An Xiaoxi's contact is only the tip of the iceberg, how difficult should Qiao Wenhan be in the center of the storm? Thinking of this, she didn't have the heart to swallow any delicacies from the mountains and seas.

I just want to hurry up and get to Jin Qiao and figure things out.

"Master, has Mr. Qiao arrived?"

An Xiaoxi asked with her eyes closed.

"I don't know about this, I'll be responsible for picking you up."

"Okay, got it."

There was silence again in the car, the road ahead was unclear, and hopefully it would not end too badly.

An Xiaoxi's mood was as cold as the weather that suddenly cooled.

……

In the huge round table conference room, there was a circle of men in suits and leather shoes. The expression is serious, and everyone has something on their minds. Qiao Wenhan vacated the first seat in the past and left it for his grandfather.

An Xiaoxi, on the other hand, was not qualified to sit next to him, so she could only sit farther away.

The administrative staff who were in charge of the reception arrangements also looked very sad, their faces were pale, and they all looked nervous. Many of them have not yet met the "Emperor" of the Jinqiao Group, and this time he came back to "listen to the government" and wondered if it would cause a big change in the group.

Everyone is scanning through their eyes, lest they suffer in this change.

An Xiaoxi looked at Qiao Wenhan from a distance, from the moment he got out of the car, the two of them hadn't officially said a word, and they didn't know what happened to him, and at the same time, they hadn't told him about the DNA identification report.

So many things are suddenly intertwined, and I just feel that my chest is unbearably tight and uncomfortable. An Xiaoxi endured the unhappiness of her body, intending to survive this long hour.

Qiao Wenhan noticed the eager gaze coming from afar, but he didn't dare to respond. For fear of arousing more unnecessary suspicion, he did not make an appointment to meet An Xiaoxi alone before the foreign bus substituted for foreign affairs.

At ten o'clock, the meeting officially began.

Old Man Qiao's body looked extremely energetic, and his face was ruddy, much better than the last time he saw it in the Emeishan Courtyard.

His unsmiling appearance is very intimidating, the so-called not angry and self-intimidating. It seems that every word that comes out of his mouth cannot be disobeyed, it is the truth.

The old man spoke without clichés, nonsense, and quickly went straight to the point. At the beginning of the meeting, Qiao Wenhan, as the president, introduced the development of the group over the years, especially in the past two years, as well as some achievements.

His radiant and unhurried appearance fascinated An Xiaoxi.

The sentences and words that he had heard 10,000 times in the past sounded so beautiful when they came out of his mouth. Every movement and gesture of his is just right, not more than a point, not less than a point, not exaggerated or not wooden. It is exactly the demeanor of a young and promising entrepreneur.

An Xiaoxi has never faced up to such a thing: Regardless of the difference in background, Qiao Wenhan is an excellent person.

Caught in the charm of Qiao Wenhan's speech, An Xiaoxi didn't notice it, but was caught by Old Man Qiao's eagle-like eyes.

A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. looked at Qiao Wenhan, and then at An Xiaoxi.

After that, the person in charge of each business department reported one by one, and when it was An Xiaoxi's turn, she was still a little nervous, and her palms were oozing some sweat. Fortunately, he was well prepared and successfully completed the report, and some of the work was affirmed by Mr. Qiao.

Finally breathed a long sigh of relief. An Xiaoxi subconsciously looked at Qiao Wenhan, but his gaze did not respond. An Xiaoxi is still a little lost.

At this time, she wanted to get an approving look from Qiao Wenhan.

After the person in charge of each business department made a report, Mr. Qiao made a concise summary, and some problems were pointed out in a burst of blood, and An Xiaoxi admired it so much.

Obviously, no one had reported to him before, how could he be so familiar with these businesses, and even know the movements of the market and competitors clearly.

Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy. Old Man Qiao had indeed eaten more salt than they had ever eaten as young men.

Originally, the meeting ended quickly, but Old Man Qiao was thoughtful and emphasized the reason for going out of the mountain again at the end. It is also to avoid excessive suspicion within the company and panic.

"I'm here this time just to be a consultant, and you guys have done a good job and I'm very relieved. It's just ......"

As soon as the conversation turned, everyone's spirits tensed, because usually the key part is behind the inflection word.

"It's just that he hasn't got married yet, and I can't trust a man who hasn't got a family."

As soon as I finished saying this, I don't know who took advantage of the chaos to say a word.

"Didn't Joe get married?"

was heard by Old Man Qiao, and his pleasant face instantly became serious.

"What kind of wedding it was, I don't recognize. Marriage must have the order of parents and the words of matchmaking. Besides, the unsatisfactory things are left in the past, and things have to look forward. Put the words here today, Jinqiao Group is a place to create value, gossip and boring gossip have no value, who passes it on again, who believes it again, it is the opposite of the concept of Jinqiao Group. ”

As soon as the words came out, the whole venue was silent, like a child who was reprimanded by the head teacher in elementary school, and everyone was afraid that Old Man Qiao would blame him.

And Old Man Qiao came this time to say these words as a so-called "consultant", also to suppress those unstable demons and monsters.

To let them know that no matter how high the position is, how much power is there, and how prominent the merit is, they must not forget that the Jinqiao Group is the country laid by their Qiao family, and other people are here to provide intellectual and physical labor, and the Qiao family treats them with generous salaries and equity dividends, but the owner of this company will always be the people of their Qiao family.

For a long time, Qiao Wenhan's identity as an airborne soldier has aroused countless questions. There will also be some resistance from within the group to move things forward.

Old Man Qiao came this time to clear these obstacles for him.

Because, his time is numbered.

Qiao Wenhan and An Xiaoxi didn't know that just last week, Old Man Qiao was diagnosed with terminal cancer and would die soon. It is more than one or two years, and as little as six months and three months.

This is the last thing he can do for Qiao Wenhan, to consolidate the foundation of the group for him, so that he can go better in the future.

It's just that he hasn't told them about these situations, and he wants to find an opportunity to talk to these two young people, but he has never had the opportunity. When you find an opportunity, every minute of time is precious.

"Wen Han, little ghost, you stay for a while."

The other participants left, and Old Man Qiao also branched out the young people in charge of the tea break in the administrative department, and only the three of them were left in the huge conference room.

The atmosphere was a little weird, and An Xiaoxi couldn't say it.

Old Man Qiao was obviously full of red light, but he didn't feel as calm as last time, as if his tone was more floating, maybe he was too tired from the other courtyard overnight.

An Xiaoxi hurriedly helped Old Man Qiao sit down, and the powerful business tycoon just now has now changed back to the familiar appearance of an old man with An Xiaoxi.

"You two sit too."

An Xiaoxi and Qiao Wenhan looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Old Man Qiao's gourd.

"I'm not here this time to take your power, Wen Han, you remember this first."

Compared with the spirit just now, Old Man Qiao has become very slow to speak at this time, and he even has to say a word to rest. Qiao Wenhan sensed that something was wrong with his grandfather, and hurriedly poured him a glass of water.

Old Man Qiao waved his hand, not wanting to drink.

"I'm here this time to pave the way for the two of you, the road in the future will not be easy, whether it's Wen Han or a little ghost. You're going to have a hard time. ”

An Xiaoxi nodded, thoughtful, and Qiao Wenhan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Old Man Qiao with a sad face, he guessed a few points.

"Grandpa! Don't talk about it, take a break! Fast! ”

Qiao Wenhan was really panicked, he never thought that this day would come so early.

He was used to having a strong backing behind him to support him and give him strength. He couldn't afford to lose his grandfather.

So the voice of the voice, with a crying tone.

But Old Man Qiao touched his head with a smile and laughed at him for being an immature child.

"You are the president of Jinqiao Group, the legal heir of our Qiao family, and you have to take the responsibility you should bear. I can't be with you for the rest of my life. ”

Speaking of this, An Xiaoxi also somewhat understood the reason why Qiao Wenhan was so emotional just now.

His eyes widened in disbelief from his guess.

"That's right, my days are numbered, and the Jinqiao Group will ask you in the future."
