Chapter Fifty: The Monkey King Gazes Out

  The warm and lively atmosphere on the dinner table suddenly became awkward, with only Tong Feifei eating with gusto, while everyone else looked at each other in confusion, shrugging their shoulders in bewilderment.

  The atmosphere of eating together was gone, and everyone just filled their stomachs casually before dispersing.

  Li Mingcheng weighed two bottles of red wine that had been opened but not drunk much, and was immediately scolded by Liu Yanzhi. He honestly shrank to one side, while Liu Yanzhi helped Tong Yunan clean up the mess.

  Tong Fei Fei had eaten and drunk enough, shouting that she wanted to watch Tom and Jerry on TV. Lin Zi glanced at Xia Qiu's tightly closed door, picked up her computer bag, and pulled Tong Fei Fei upstairs, saying she would let her watch it there.

  Back in the room, after opening the laptop and getting online, she found a cartoon of Tom and Jerry, and Tong Feifei was instantly delighted, obediently staying in front of the monitor.

  Lin Zi Xian picked up his cigarette and harmonica, casually grabbed a chair, and sat alone on the rooftop outside. His feet were propped up on the railing, his hands clasped behind his head, facing the night wind, gazing at the distant lights shining brightly, the red glow of the cigarette tip flickering on and off...

  In the hospital, Gao Yunliang lay on the bed in a daze. His injuries were not very serious, but he had broken several bones and was not supposed to move around, so he needed to rest quietly.

  Huang Mao kept sneaking around outside Dong Jiayun's hospital room, peeking through the small glass window to see her standing guard inside. Unable to find an opportunity to enter, he let out two unpleasant meows and quickly hid to one side.

  Dong Jiayun, who was leaning against the wall with her head spinning and about to fall asleep, suddenly woke up, looked around, and exclaimed: "Why is there a cat in the hospital?"

  Gao Yunliang's brain turned around and looked towards the door, having already figured out whose voice it was. He pretended to cough and said: "Mom, I want some yogurt."

  "Oh! Wait a minute, I'll go buy it now." Dong Jiayun hastily got up and left the ward.

  The door had just closed for a short while before it opened again. A yellow-haired thief slipped in, and Gao Yunliang frowned, saying: "What are you doing?"

  Huang Mao sat beside his sickbed and said indignantly: "Boss, don't you want to avenge this?"

  Gao Yunliang's face turned pale as he said, "What can we do? They even dare to beat the police, how can we win against them?"

  "Boss, do you still remember the 'Monkey' from Yunshang Renjian?" Huang Mao gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you nod, I'll go find him right now and definitely persuade him to avenge you."

  "Monkey?" Gao Yun's pupils contracted slightly, his breathing became a bit urgent, and his chest began to ache vaguely. He raised his hand to touch the wound on his chest, and his eyes finally ignited with uncontrollable anger. In a low voice, he nodded: "Good!"

  "Alright, brother! You just wait, I'll take care of this!" Huang Mao's eyes lit up and he excitedly left.

  The next morning, Lin Zilei drove Zhang Beibei to the entrance of the alley again and had a full breakfast at Tong Yunan's breakfast point before leaving.

  Whether you hurry or go slowly, the bicycle passed through the traffic light just in time.

  Qiao Yun sat in the car with a expressionless face, looking through the window at a couple on a bicycle who were laughing and chatting, it was clear that their relationship had taken another step forward.

  Under the icy beautiful face, the mood suddenly became inexplicably irritable. Qiao Yun was somewhat annoyed that she hadn't deleted that piano piece last night, thinking that maybe it was because of exhaustion after a day's work, wanting to listen to the music to relax.

  She decided to change her tune tonight and listen to it as she fell asleep, calming her nerves. She also glanced at the time on her wrist... Her car quickly passed through the traffic light...

  At the quarterly regular board meeting of Minghua Group, Qiao Yun reported on the company's operating conditions and financial income and expenditure for this quarter, and immediately triggered a warm applause from all members of the board of directors. Qiao Yun's ability to create profits for the company has never disappointed them.

  The chairman, Qiao An Tian, who was beaming with smiles, had a rather reserved attitude and didn't applaud as enthusiastically as everyone else. However, his eyes were filled with pride when looking at his daughter. His only regret was that Qiao Yun was a girl; if she were a boy, it would have been even better with her management skills.

  It's not that he has a heavy male and light female mentality, but this society is still a patriarchal society. Shakespeare also said that the name "woman" is weak, and the more powerful the family, the more they have to face this cruel reality, which cannot be compared to ordinary people.

  After the routine board meeting ended and everyone began to disperse, Qiao An Tian shouted: "President, stay behind for a moment!"

  Qiao Yun stood up after closing the folder, hesitated for a moment, and sat back down.

  After the meeting room was left with only two father and daughter, Qiao An Tian stood up and walked to her side to sit down, smiling: "Xiao Yun, there is something I want to discuss with you."

  "Please speak, Chairman." Qiao Yun nodded and said that in the company, even when facing her own biological father, she had always maintained a professional attitude.

  Qiao An Tian didn't think much of it, he was already used to it. After a moment's thought, he said: "It's like this, as far as I know, Lin Zixian is still in the East Sea. But Ning Lan and I have called him many times, and we've never been able to get through. He might still be a bit unhappy, so... why don't you try calling him? If you apologize, maybe he'll calm down and come back."

  "Chairman, I don't think it's necessary. If you want to hit me, go ahead and hit me. If there's nothing else, I'll leave." Qiao Yun said expressionlessly.

  "Wait!" Qiao An Tian shouted, he was really helpless with this precious daughter of his. He took out his private phone and said seriously: "I'll try again now, if it gets through, even if you don't want to speak softly, just make a sound to let him come back. I'm telling you clearly now, this person is very important to Dad, it's related to whether Dad can understand your grandfather's last words, you can't be willful!"

  Qiao Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, not knowing how Lin Zixian was related to her grandfather's last words again. This time she didn't express her opposition, and silently sat there motionless.

  Qiao An Tian let out a sigh of relief, found Lin Zi Xian's number and dialed it. The ringing tone on the phone indicated that the other party's mobile phone was turned on, and Qiao An Tian's eyes lit up instantly.

  Soon, the phone rang with Lin Zile's voice that was not polite at all: "Hey! Director Qiao, why do you keep calling me when I'm busy? You almost got me into a traffic accident... damn it! Whose dog is this that isn't tied up properly and is running around everywhere, and the traffic police aren't even managing it..." The other end was muttering and complaining about the traffic situation.

  "Haha! Sorry, sorry!" Qiao An exclaimed: "Mr. Lin, I finally got through to your phone, long time no see, how have you been lately? What have you been busy with recently, do you have some free time?"

  "Busy! I'm too busy!" Lin Zixian's voice rose a few degrees, and he sighed unusually: "Life is hard! Every day, I toil in the wind and sun without complaint. It's impossible to compare with you big bosses."

  Qiao Yun, who was listening with a tilted ear, suddenly turned pale as ice, and thought of someone riding a bicycle in a leisurely and proud scene, and sneered in her heart, probably busy flirting with girls!

  She had just barely decided to follow her father's words and was preparing to perfunctorily go through the motions, but after hearing Lin Zixian's words, she immediately looked down on his character with extreme disdain, lost interest in pretending, picked up the file on the table, stood up and left.

  Qiao An Tian hastily beckoned her to stay, but only got a "bang" as the door closed. Qiao An Tian's face stiffened for a moment before he put on a smile and said: "Mr. Lin, there may be some misunderstanding between us. Do you have any free time? Let's sit down together?"

  "Want to sit together? The last lesson was really impressive, too dangerous, I think it's better to forget about it." Lin Zixian sneered and continued: "You don't have to beat around the bush either, isn't it just to protect your precious daughter? Don't worry! I promised you that I won't go back on my word, tomorrow... or the day after tomorrow, I'll go back to work."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, without even giving Qiao An Tian a chance to be polite.

  The hospital parking lot, after three black cars stopped, a group of people got out of the car, Huang Mao was among them. After getting off the bus, they immediately led the way in front of them, nodding and bowing their heads.

  Behind him, the gauze on his face had been lifted, revealing a tall and thin figure with a scar, who was none other than Monkey, surrounded by several men in black cheongsam suits.

  As he walked to the entrance of the inpatient department, the monkey turned around and stretched out his hand, saying: "Give me things!"

  The subordinate who was a step behind immediately handed over the fruit basket and flowers to him. The monkey took over the things, found that a famous subordinate had a cigarette in his mouth, and immediately turned pale: "Don't you know that smoking is not allowed in the hospital? How many times have I said it, we are not street gangsters, hooligans and rascals, we must pay attention to our image."

  That subordinate immediately extinguished the cigarette and threw it into the trash can, more civilized than ordinary citizens, leaving the yellow-haired leader speechless.

  A group of people arrived at the door of the ward, and the monkey nodded to the crowd. Several subordinates immediately dispersed.

  Huang Mao knocked on the door, and Dong Jiayun inside shouted "come in", then Monkey King and Huang Mao went in.

  "Little Huang?" Dong Jiayun saw that Huang Mao was stunned for a moment, knowing he was her son's friend. She looked at the monkey again and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

  Xiao Huang's real surname was Dong, but since Gao Yunliang always called him Xiao Huang, Dong Jiayun followed suit and also started calling him Little Yellow.

  The monkey nodded and smiled: "Is it Sister Dong? Hello! My surname is Zhang, I am a friend of Gao Yunliang. I heard that Gao Yunliang was hospitalized, so I came to see him."

  Dong Jiayun took one look at the person, who was younger than herself by a big margin, and yet called her "older sister", and on top of that spoke politely, clearly having more quality than those friends of her son. She immediately smiled and accepted the gift, saying: "So you're Xiaoliang's friend! I've never seen you before, come sit down, quickly!"

  The monkey chattered a few words and walked to Gao Yunliang's bedside with a smile, Gao Yunliang was still nervous for the first time dealing with this **wind and cloud figure**, he struggled a bit, but ended up hurting his wound, his face suddenly twitched.

  The monkey quickly rushed to the front of Dong Jiayun, supported him and made him lie down, looked at Gao Yunliang and smiled: "Don't move around if you're not healed. I heard about your situation from Huang Mao, after you're discharged, come find me and we'll discuss it properly, now just focus on recovering."

  "After finishing speaking, he smiled at Dong Jiayun and said: "Sister, Xiaoliang is not good at moving around, I won't disturb him. When he's better, I'll come visit him again. I'll take my leave first.""

  He threw down a sentence and left without even considering Dong Jiayun's persuasion. Huang Mao secretly winked at Gao Yunliang to indicate that everything was settled, then hastily followed Monkey King out to see him off.
