Pampered By All In Different Planes

After Su Zhiruan had put on her clothes, she felt much more confident. Hearing Xie Yanshang say those words, she responded calmly, extending her wrist to him and said, "Sure."

At first, Xie Yanshang indeed took her pulse seriously, "The pulse is steady, the recovery is very good."

"For all these years, really, thank you, Dr. Xie." Su Zhiruan was quite emotional, considering when she first arrived in this world, she could feel in an instant how her body should have been riddled with holes, incredibly weak.

"You speak so formally," Xie Yanshang sighed softly, gently hooking Su Zhiruan's fingers, "I like the feeling of being needed by you; there's no need for such politeness."

Afterward, Su Zhiruan intended to get up from the bed to do some other things.

However, after blinking again, she saw that the look in Xie Yanshang's eyes as he hooked her fingers gradually darkened.

Su Zhiruan sensed something was not right, "It's already noon now!"

"There's only us here, what does it matter if day and night are reversed?" Xie Yanshang climbed along her soft arm, moving upwards.

Soon, the clothes that Su Zhiruan had just put on fell to the ground again.

Another day passed, sweet, sticky, and honeyed.

*

The two spent half a month like this, sticky and sweetly together every night, and if the mood struck during the day, they would explore the various tourist attractions on the mountain to see if there was anything exciting to enjoy.

The half-month flew by quickly.

When Su Zhiruan checked the trending topics on her phone again, she discovered that the heat surrounding Xie Yanshang's resignation still hadn't subsided.

The Xie Group didn't have many talented youngsters available, and although there were some younger than Xie Yanshang, they were nowhere near as capable as he was. While there were others older than him, they were too cunning, skimping on the employees' benefits, resulting in complaints and discontentment among the staff.

The old master had not anticipated that this was merely his tactic to force Xie Yanshang into compliance; he had never really considered changing the president of the Xie Group. After all, despite his young age, Xie Yanshang had genuine talent and merit and had earned the respect and trust of many after ascending to power. If they were to change leaders randomly, it would certainly raise concerns from the outside world, and even competitors would take advantage of the situation.

At home, the old man was anxiously pacing around, unable to swallow his pride and reach out to Xie Yanshang. He spent every day fretting over a solution, unable to come up with a better candidate.

Xie's father, who had retired, snorted coldly, indicating he would no longer involve himself with the old man's affairs. He spent his days fishing with a rod and meeting friends at the community entrance to play Go or Chinese chess. Sometimes, while chatting, he would praise his daughter-in-law's excellent chess skills, eliciting envious grinding of teeth from his friends.

The old master couldn't find a candidate and did not want to hand his legacy over to strangers, so he decided to come out of retirement himself. However, he was already very old and managing so many affairs took a toll on him, draining much of his energy. Besides, the present era had advanced tremendously compared to his days, adopting various online work practices and software tools. How could an elderly man keep up with the young generation's ideas? Just learning these new technologies consumed a lot of time and energy, which led to sleepless nights and restless days.

After enduring it for over ten days, when he couldn't hold out any longer and tried calling Xie Yanshang, he found that Xie Yanshang's phone had been switched off, cutting off contact with everyone.

Xie's second uncle did want to rise to power, after all, his actions were initiated with the desire to gain control of the Xie Family. However, he had made a major strategic mistake when he was younger, leading the shareholders to distrust him. Despite Xie's second uncle's jumping and bouncing, striving to seize the position of president of the Xie Group, not a single shareholder was willing to have faith in him. Even as his biological father, the old master shook his head, believing that he would not get support from everyone if he became president. If any problems arose, it would be the old man's reputation at stake.

In summary, when the old master heard about Xie Yanshang again, he hurried to see him.

"Yanshang... it was all grandpa's fault before, please come back!" The old master called out to Xie Yanshang from a distance, his voice filled with sorrow.

Xie Yanshang was diagnosing a patient when he typed up a prescription on the computer. He instructed the patient to fetch the medicine, and from the beginning to the end, he did not acknowledge the old man.

"You are not wrong, this is my own choice." Xie Yanshang looked at his dramatic crying and tear-stained face. He coldly put down the hand he was using to type and continued, "I am very satisfied with my current life. Since you wanted to drive me out, I shall not obscure your view any further!"
