Chapter 346 - 346 Fake Concern Of Madam Wang.
Just by listening to these, her mind shook. Luo Lixi couldn\'t bear to hear such vague words and wanted to hear the exact thing, "Grandma…"
She stared at Aunt Zhu and asked while emphasizing her words, "What is grandfather\'s exact condition?"
Aunt Zhu turned her head away and after some time, she walked back to Luo Lixi. The old woman raised her arms and hugged Luo Lixi tightly. Then, she whispered beside Luo Lixi\'s head, "The doctor said, the old master won\'t live long. His life energy is coming to an end!"
Luo Lixi was petrified, shocked and devastated when she heard it, she couldn\'t believe her ears. "How, how could it happen?! Why?!..."
This time, she totally broke down in tears, she didn\'t think of her body weight troubling the old lady supporting her in her embrace.
She blocked her mouth with her hand tightly so that the sounds wouldn\'t leave and disturb the unconscious man but she couldn\'t even bear the cruel information.
It was just too much for her poor heart to bear...
Aunt Zhu sighed again. She rubbed Luo Lixi\'s back and whispered, "Even though I believe in doctors, I also believe in God. The thing the doctor said, it\'s just a statement. Sometimes, people live way more than they were told."
Hearing her, Luo Lixi felt she found a straw to rely on. Aunt Zhu backed away and then stared at Luo Lixi caressing her cheeks, "Rather than crying and being sad, spend the time with the old man. Death, one day will come into every person\'s life. Cherish these times so that you won\'t have any regrets in the future."
After saying that, Aunt Zhu rubbed Luo Lixi\'s hair as Luo Lixi closed her eyes, taking in the warmth from the elder. She also tried to console herself when she told those things to Luo Lixi.
She was the first and only person who knew this matter. All the time, she was beside Luo Qintian, she felt very conflicted, sad and griefed, the first thought which came to her mind was how to console Luo Lixi.
When she saw Luo Lixi slowing down her crying and began to ponder something with an absent mind after her words, Aunt Zhu felt downhearted again.
After a while, Luo Lixi lifted her head and told Aunt Zhu, "I understand… grandma. You go… I will stay here."
Afterwards, Luo Lixi turned around. She lifted the stool and placed it right beside Luo Qintian\'s head. Then, she sat down and became silent, quietly looking at the old man.
Even after waiting for a long time, Aunt Zhu didn\'t notice any change in Luo Lixi\'s face. The young lady didn\'t shed another tear as she sat there, calmly.
…
The people at the company waited for Luo Lixi but she didn\'t go. The executives were furious, the shareholders were furious, even… the employees were furious.
And the anticipation of her arrival was killing them and to be precisely pissing them off.
They felt that Luo Lixi was an incompetent leader and under her, they wouldn\'t get any benefits. Only if employees work under any project which earned a lot would they get a lot of bonuses. Now, the employees of the Luo Corporation, who used to take pride in working in a top company and were used to high bonuses, felt a crisis.
"When will she come? Doesn\'t she have to give us an explanation?! We have used a lot of manpower on this but it went to the Shengs! Shouldn\'t she come and apologize to us and then work on other projects?!" The bad-tempered executive shouted.
Even though the others didn\'t say anything, they nodded their heads silently agreeing with Executive Min and he was enjoying their silence, making him feel powerful and worthy enough.
Madam Wang stole a glance of him and then returned her eyes to Luo Biwun. She coughed and said with a little tone of spoiling, "Little Lixi is considered new and has very little experience. It\'s understandable that she failed in this…"
When Madam Wang talked, Executive Min quieted down. He harrumphed and began to criticize Luo Lixi, "Madam, it\'s not like the CEO seat is for any ignorant and inexperienced brat. What about our money?! The hard work we are giving into this company? She didn\'t even come for two days. It\'s too much!"
Madam Wang glanced at Luo Tiankong and the latter immediately joined into the discussion, "She\'s the CEO and doesn\'t need to come every day. You should understand."
This time, another shareholder, who had old thinking and always used to favour boys over girls, chirped in, "When Young master Xiang was made CEO, he came every day in the company in time. He was even improving little by little.
That\'s why, a spoiled woman like her should always stay at home and look after the family, rather than snatching things from her brother!"
"Exactly! Also, sooner or later, she will definitely go to Ming city and become Madam Sheng. Then why do these?!" Executive Min poured out his frustration. His suppressed anger for being insulted by Luo Lixi finally got a breakthrough.
Luo Tiankong didn\'t say anything and continued to stay still that he had successfully done so far while madam Wang\'s virtuous smile turned into worry as she murmured while listening, "Mr Min, you shouldn\'t say such things. Did you forget the matter Lixi said in the past? Please be aware of what you are saying!"
Luo Biwun couldn\'t continue to hear and see this drama and thus suggested, "How about I go to Luo Mansion and have a talk with uncle Luo Qintian?"
Hearing Luo Qintian\'s name, all the people became quiet. All the fake mighty and reasonable words puffed out. Executive Min took a tissue and wiped his forehead while shareholders panicked a little.
The elder was the lion of the jungle and they were still afraid to step ahead into the lion\'s den but what they should have noticed was that messing with Luo Lixi would be provoking the lion himself.
In the end, Madam Wang as usual came to their rescue and asked what others wanted to know, "Biwun, what do you want to talk about with Uncle Luo?"
Luo Biwun answered innocently, "Of course, about the problems we are facing. If it continues like this, we will get kicked out from the top 10 companies of the country."
Madam Wang nodded her head in understanding. Then, she smiled and muttered out, "Good then. Uncle Luo is a wise man. I am sure he will take into consideration our current situation."
Right at this very moment, a shareholder said with hope, "If CEO Luo can pacify Sheng Ruming, we can participate in the project. She can do this at least, right? After all, Mr Sheng is her fiance!"
All were thinking about themselves, about how to increase their value and earnings. Nobody was thinking about the meaning of their words and the impact of it if it got leaked out.
Executive Min snorted. He put the water glass on the glass table heavily and then shouted, "For this, she will have to come in the company first, no? Even her puny assistant is missing!"
When shouting, droplets of water flew around the area, making the people sitting around him, backed away yet the man still acted cluelessly.
Luo Biwun stood up and then glanced around. Whenever he had to come into such a meeting, he would face the same thing and it caused him a lot of headaches.
"I have already said that I will go and discuss our problems with uncle Qintian. Why are you still talking about this?!" Luo Biwun said out loud trying to make himself and his words clear, he sighed and then left.
Madam Wang turned towards the shareholders and executives around the table and said with a pained face, "Don\'t worry. Nothing will happen to our company. After all, we are still here. With our hard work and dedication, we will surely overcome any upcoming difficulty. Also, don\'t we have the other three major shareholders?"
Hearing her, the other understood that she was talking about Elder Wang, Elder Bin and Elder Leng.
Executive Min put on a bright smile and said with a perfect face curved for boot licking, "We also have you, madam. As long as the elders and you are here, we can be at ease."
"Hopefully this ignorant girl won\'t bring doom to the company…" Executive Min said and left with fuming madness. How he wished he could scold Luo Lixi without any restrain!
Madam Wang smiled and nodded at them as she left. As soon as she got out of the room she turned towards Luo Tiankong and asked with doubt, "What is wrong with her? Also, why is she not coming to the company for such a long time? It\'s not so much like her."
The man was also clueless. After returning from the capital he didn\'t see Luo Lixi and Luo Lixiang, "I guess we have to look into this matter." The man said.
