Chapter Summary
"Sorry, I was so lost in time reading." The housekeeper raised his eyebrows and smiled at Ning Yuetong. "I will definitely work hard and never let Grandpa down." "What expectations?" The man's low voice sounded in the living room. The old man has been looking forward to seeing you." Duan Xishen's expression was cold, and he did not respond to the housekeeper's words, but repeated his previous question.
Until I finished reading the last few pages.
She raised her head and saw the housekeeper, and a look of apology immediately appeared on her face.
"Sorry, I was so lost in time reading."
The housekeeper raised his eyebrows and smiled at Ning Yuetong.
"No problem."
It's more sincere than the previous forced smile.
Ning Yuetong put down the book and breathed a sigh of relief.
This move was the right one.
This can be considered a leisurely move, not just for the housekeeper.
If the housekeeper could mention it in front of Mr. Duan, she would be able to gain some favor from him.
Even if the butler didn't mention it deliberately.
In the future, there will always be a chance to "inadvertently" let Mr. Duan know that she is obsessed with the book he wrote.
There was a hint of pride in her eyes, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Is Grandpa awake? Is it convenient for me to go see him?"
The housekeeper showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.
"The old man is in poor health, and the doctor recommends rest during this period."
Ning Yuetong was stunned.
When the butler appeared, he was still smiling.
How could it be...
It was a little different from what she thought.
These thoughts only lasted a moment, Ning Yuetong still had a slight smile on her face, with a bit of worry and regret.
"I should have come to see Grandpa earlier. Grandpa has always taken such good care of me. It's all because of my body. It's been back and forth for so many days, and it's barely recovered.
As she spoke, she stared at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper didn't say anything nonsense.
"Although the old man is not in good health, he is still thinking about the young lady."
As he spoke, he took out a check from his pocket.
"This is a check for ten million. It's a token of appreciation from the old man to the young lady."
He handed the check to Ning Yuetong,
"The old man said that he is very optimistic about the young lady and asked her to keep up the good work."
Ning Yuetong's eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Yeah?"
When she said these two words, her voice trembled a little.
You really can't blame her for being overly excited.
During this period, Duan Xishen continued to withdraw his support for her, both financially and in terms of political resources.
The company that I thought was easy to run suddenly became difficult.
Some well-informed people knew Duan Xishen's attitude towards her.
He also became lukewarm towards her.
In just a few days, she experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature.
She tried to meet Duan Xishen, but Duan Xishen didn't even give her a chance to meet him.
Mr. Duan is her only lifeline now.
I didn't expect the old man to be so nice to her...
Not only did he give 10 million in support, he also said he was optimistic about her.
This must be the result of her hard work.
For old people like Mr. Duan, most of the time, they just want the company of their children and grandchildren.
She had a determined look on her face.
"I will definitely work hard and never let Grandpa down."
"What expectations?" The man's low voice sounded in the living room.
Ning Yuetong and the housekeeper were both stunned and looked towards the door.
A hint of ecstasy appeared on the butler's face, but he managed to suppress it and walked quickly towards him.
Etiquette was ingrained in this older man's DNA, yet he was still at a loss as to what to do.
"Sir, you are back. The old man has been looking forward to seeing you."
Duan Xishen's expression was cold, and he did not respond to the housekeeper's words, but repeated his previous question.
"What expectations?"
The butler's face froze, and he repeated the whole thing in a low voice.
