When the chairman came, it was another meeting as usual, all the managers attended, and after reporting the work status to the chairman, they had dinner together in the evening.

Lin Yanyan attended the company's party for the first time, and it was the chairman of the board of directors who came to such a major party, she thought she was going to drink a lot of wine in the evening, but she forgot that Xing Penghui had not drunk for a long time because of illness, so the party at night was surprisingly elegant, and everyone accompanied the chairman, almost all of them replaced the wine with tea.

The dinner table is surprisingly quiet, a large round table, surrounded by more than 20 people, everyone is bowing their heads to eat, occasionally listening to the chairman say a word or two, or the branch manager said a few words, when the leader speaks, they put down their chopsticks to listen for a while, the personnel who are ordered should be with a few words, when the leader does not speak, everyone bows their heads to eat, there are not many rules, and there is no need to toast, so this meal can still be full.

Lin Yanyan was bowing his head to drink soup, and suddenly heard Xing Penghui say: "Thank you very much for your efforts for the company over the years, many of the colleagues here are old employees, such as the product manager and even since my father has been in the company, in recent years, I am not in good health, I can rarely manage the company by myself, thanks to you, Xing's Group has been able to develop normally, so today, I want to toast you."

He instructed Wu Kai next to him, and Wu Kai persuaded: "Chairman, you are not in good health, the doctor must tell you not to drink, don't drink it, just replace wine with tea." ”

Xing Penghui shook his head, but still insisted: "You ask the waiter to bring the wine." ”

Wu Kai said: "Then I'll drink it for the chairman." ”

Xing Penghui smiled and shook his head: "Let them bring the wine quickly."

Wu Kai had no choice but to let the waiter serve the wine, Xing Penghui poured a full glass, stood up, and toasted to everyone.

There was no one who didn't respond, and they all poured wine and toasted together.

"For the second cup, I would like to thank my old subordinate Wu Kai and the old employees of the company, thank you for still accompanying me when I was seriously ill, maintaining this team, and thanking you for your loyalty and dedication."

He just finished drinking it and toasted another glass, Wu Kai couldn't persuade him, and frowned again and again.

"The third cup, I want to respect the company's new leadership team, the company's future is yours, thank you for choosing Xing's Group" He drank another glass.

The third cup also had Lin Yanyan's share, so Lin Yanyan also stood up and toasted him.

Lin Yanyan felt very strange, she felt that Xing Penghui was obedient tonight, as if something was about to happen after this toast.

After drinking three glasses, Xing Penghui finally sat down, but he covered his chest and coughed.

Wu Kai persuaded him, he raised his hand to say that it was okay, and continued: "My illness may be, some old colleagues know that no matter what happens in the future, I still hope that you will adhere to the original concept of Xing's Group and continue to focus on charity. ”

Everyone present, especially several senior executives, heard him mention his illness, and their faces were sad, and then they all said: "The chairman is serious, we are all cultivated by the chairman, and we must not forget the chairman's entrustment." ”

Lin Yanyan didn't know what was wrong, why the good party finally became so solemn, she asked the person next to her what illness the chairman had, but the people around her were not senior enough, and they didn't know very well, I am afraid that only the general manager and deputy general manager of the branch, and people of Wu Kai's level knew about it

She ate absent-mindedly, because she couldn't get an answer, and she could only keep it in mind for the time being.

After everyone had eaten, because the chairman had not yet meant to leave, everyone did not dare to leave, so several young people organized a game of drumming and passing flowers at the dinner table, and the bouquet was passed to which hand and which performance program, so as to enliven the atmosphere. The chairman seemed to like to see everyone happy, so he sat with a few executives and watched with relish, so everyone performed harder.

Lin Yanyan went out to the toilet halfway, and when he came out, he heard that someone in the bathroom next door had been coughing, because the cough was so violent that he was about to lose it.

She was stunned for a moment, feeling that this voice seemed to be Xing Penghui's. Although she didn't want to have private contact with Xing Penghui, she was really afraid that something would happen to him, so she put aside her private feelings, walked to the door of the men's toilet, knocked on the door, and asked softly: "Chairman, is it you, are you okay?"

Xing Penghui stopped coughing and said with difficulty: "I'm fine, it's okay" But he continued to cough after speaking.

Lin Yanyan frowned, not believing that he was fine, she asked again: "Do you need me to help you do anything or I will call Mr. Wu Kai"

"No, no, I'm much better," Xing Penghui coughed, and turned on the faucet to wash his hands.

Lin Yanyan didn't drive away, just waited outside the door for a while, he finally came out, at that moment, she saw Xing Penghui weak as if he was about to be blown down by a gust of wind, she couldn't believe it, could it be that in just a few months, his condition was already so serious

Lin Yanyan put aside all the emotions in his heart and stepped forward to support him: "Chairman, are you okay?"

Xing Penghui raised his hand and wanted to tell her that he was fine, but Lin Yanyan saw the handkerchief in his hand, which was all blood.

"You're coughing up blood," she said, shocking.

Xing Penghui just wanted to speak, but suddenly he couldn't stand steadily, and slowly fell down holding on to the wall.

Lin Yanyan couldn't help him at all, and exclaimed a few times: "Chairman, Chairman"

But Xing Penghui was already unconscious, she was frightened, and hurriedly shouted into the private room: "Come on, come on, come on, the chairman fainted, come and help."

Lin Yanyan didn't know how she called everyone that night, and reported 120 to send Xing Penghui to the hospital, and that night's party ended in chaos such as the chairman fainting.

She followed the ambulance to the hospital, watched the hospital rescue, and fortunately came back, but she had to be hospitalized for the next few days.

The doctor said that the patient was suffering from drinking alcohol, but Wu Kai shook his head and sighed repeatedly, not knowing what to say. He sent the idle people and others away, leaving only the high-level executives such as the general manager and deputy general manager of the branch.

Lin Yanyan saw that Xing Penghui was fine, and he was going to leave with the army, but was stopped by Wu Kai.

Lin Yanyan turned his head: "Secretary-General, do you have any other orders?"

Wu Kai said: "You can stay for a while, I will have something to tell you later." ”

Lin Yanyan glanced at the large army and had no choice but to stay.

Wu Kai turned back and spoke to the general manager of the branch and several other executives for a while, and the expressions of several executives were very serious, especially the general manager of the branch, with his hands on his waist and a big round belly, but his brows were tightly knotted.

I don't know what they said, several executives suddenly glanced at Lin Yanyan, which made Lin Yanyan feel puzzled.

Wu Kai patted the general manager of the branch on the shoulder and told them all to go back, so several executives also left, leaving Lin Yanyan and Wu Kai.

Wu Kai came over and said, "Yanyan, you can follow me to the ward to visit the chairman."

"Ah" Lin Yanyan couldn't quite understand, and Wu Kai's tone was so affectionate, he suddenly called her Yanyan, as if he was her elder.

She was not easy to refute the leader's arrangement, so she nodded: "Oh"

Wu Kai took her to the ward where Xing Penghui was hospitalized, opened the door and went in, Xing Penghui was not awake yet, and he was on an intravenous drip with an oxygen mask. Seeing him like this, Wu Kai sighed and shook his head again and again, his expression sad.

Lin Yanyan asked him in a low voice: "Secretary-General, what is his illness with the chairman?"

Wu Kai looked at her deeply, and said helplessly: "Lung cancer, advanced stage"

Lin Yanyan was shocked, her eyes widened, her mouth opened, she almost screamed, she couldn't accept such an answer for a while.

Wu Kai looked at Xing Penghui again and said: "The chairman said that you are the daughter of the deceased, and he feels very kind when he sees you, so I want you to accompany the chairman for a while, and we will go back together later." ”

Lin Yanyan didn't know what to say, she also looked at Xing Penghui, she really didn't expect this, he actually had lung cancer, and it was still terminal

"How long has the chairman been aware of this condition?"

"It's been half a year, the chairman's health has not been very good, and his health has deteriorated after this disease was detected, I'm really worried that he will close his eyes."

Lin Yanyan's heart was suddenly grabbed by a hand, and he fell down. She thought she could ignore Xing Penghui, she complained that he was an irresponsible father, he never appeared when she suffered so much, she didn't even know that there was such a biological father in the world, so she resented him and didn't want to recognize him, but today I heard that he had such a serious illness, and I don't know which day he will leave her forever, he is the only real relative in her world who has a direct blood relationship, so she has an indescribable feeling in her heart, that kind of mood and that kind of feeling, it is really uncomfortable。

Lin Yanyan looked at the old man who was dying on the hospital bed, remembering that when she first saw him, it was more than half a year ago, in the cemetery in Beishan, at that time he was still a little fat, looking at him from a distance with great grace and aura, the second time I saw him was half a year ago, they were eating in a Japanese restaurant, he could still drink some sake, he was already a little thin at that time, but he seemed to be in good spirits, and the next time I saw him was today, I didn't expect him to be so thin and haggard, lying on the bed and dying.

It's only been more than half a year, and it's not even a year

Lin Yanyan's heart tightened again, and she suddenly realized that she still cared about him, although she hadn't met for decades and hadn't lived together, but they had the same blood on their bodies. Blood is a wonderful thing, it can connect the emotions of a loved one, and if a loved one is sick or in pain, then the other person will also be uncomfortable.

Wu Kai said: "The chairman has no wife and no children in his life, and he is looking forward to having his own children, who can accompany him when he is old or sick, but unfortunately this wish cannot be realized after all." The chairman has been kind to people all his life and has always insisted on charity, but God did not give him a good result, he is not old, but he has suffered from such a serious illness"

Lin Yanyan listened, tears suddenly fell, so fast, so suddenly, even she was not prepared, in short, there was a sudden emotion in her heart, so she suddenly cried
