Chapter 148
The entire ward was silent for a long time, everyone seemed to be contemplating something.
Finally, the crying in Ye Jinchen's mind stopped, and a relaxed voice came through.
"Ye Jinchen, I've figured it out. Thanks for helping me let go of my obsessions. I feel very relaxed now."
"I'm about to leave. I don't know where I'll go, but I know it will be a warm place."
His body became more and more transparent, and he shouted his last words to Ye Jinchen.
"Ye Jinchen, watch this world for me, live a long life, take care of your family, and fulfill our dreams!"
Finally, he left.
A tear dropped from the corner of Ye Jinchen's eye, and he softly replied in his mind: "Okay, I'll take care of everything here. You can go at ease, Ye Jinchen. We'll meet in the afterlife."
Ye Jinchen opened his eyes and said to the people in the ward, "He's gone. He was very relaxed when he left."
Ye Jinmeng exhaled a sigh of relief.
Xu Wanwan came over and hugged Ye Jinmeng, "Mengmeng, I'm glad it's you this time."
He Junting: Indeed, it's good.
Shi Shuning: Whimper, why is today so mystical, can someone explain...
Feeling the fragrant and soft embrace of Wanwan, Ye Jinmeng felt so happy she could almost fly.
"Wanwan, have we really become sisters?"
Xu Wanwan thought of the hard life Ye Jinmeng had described as Zhao Di, even harder than when she was in Xu Family Village, and felt a bit distressed.
"Of course, from now on I'll be the older sister, I'll take care of you."
Ye Jinmeng frowned, "No, I want to be the older sister, you be the younger sister, I'll take care of you."
"Mengmeng, look at you, you've lost weight these days, there's no meat on your face. As long as you call me sister, when we go home, I'll cook delicious food for you and fatten you up."
"Okay, sister!"
Ye Jinchen: ??? Mengmeng where is your integrity ???
He Junting: My Wanwan is still the smart one.
Shi Shuning: !!! The one who wants to fatten Mengmeng up is me! How can you snatch her from me!!!
Ye Jinmeng: Anyway, whether I'm Ye Jinmeng or Zhao Di, my dream has always been to eat delicious food, whether I'm the older or younger sister doesn't matter, just be myself~~

Xiao Group.
"President Xiao, we've just borrowed ten million from the bank, and we've almost used it up. What do you think..."
Secretary Zhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, nervously reporting to Xiao Wenyao. These more than two hundred projects really cost too much. Although the subsequent benefits are continuous, they can't support it anymore!
Xiao Wenyao banged the table, "Borrow more!"
Secretary Zhao trembled, stammering: "President Xiao, you've already mortgaged your villa, there's nothing else to mortgage."
Xiao Wenyao scratched his head, "Then mortgage the factory, if it's not enough, mortgage the whole company!"
Secretary Zhao was shocked: "President Xiao, absolutely not, the shareholders of the company will not agree!"
Xiao Wenyao was furious, "If this won't work and that won't work, what can we do? How do we complete the project and make a profit?"
"Notify the shareholders to come to the company this afternoon for a meeting. We need to discuss the loan. I refuse to believe that everyone will give up such a huge benefit from X International!"
However, things didn't go as planned. At the shareholders' meeting, both large and small shareholders voted against Xiao Wenyao's proposal to mortgage the company's assets.
Xiao Wenyao slammed the table, "If you all don't support the mortgage, then what should we do! Without funding, we can't finish these projects, and the losses will be even greater!"
The shareholders were not pleased with this. A large, balding shareholder said, "We advised you not to bid on every project. Did you listen? Now that you're in a dire situation, you start to hurry us. Well, sorry, I won't accompany you on this! I want to sell my shares!"
"You!" Xiao Wenyao was about to say something when Zhao Secretary stopped him.
"Mr. Xiao, we mustn't rush the shareholders. If they get angry, we'll be in big trouble!"
Xiao Wenyao took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Director Zhao, don't worry. I didn't expect to win over two hundred bids either. But think about it, if we complete these projects, our profits could increase by more than tenfold!"
"We can not only repay the loans but also earn a lot of dividends. Why not do it?"
"Furthermore, our company will attract more large and small businesses in the future due to our cooperation with X International, which will bring continuous collaborations. Xiao Group will become even stronger, and the dividends we receive will increase. Won't anyone reconsider?"
If they didn't know that the person in charge of X International was Xiao Yongze, they might have taken a gamble. But now, it's clear that Xiao Yongze is trying to sabotage Xiao Wenyao, and they certainly don't want to get involved.
Director Zhao scoffed, "Ha, complete over two hundred projects? Even if we had the money, we wouldn't have the manpower. I don't want to throw my money away! I'm definitely selling my shares this time!"
More and more employees of Xiao Group couldn't stand the pressure and chose to resign these days, some even giving up their unpaid wages.
Some new hires couldn't bear the fatigue from working over ten hours a day on the assembly line and left overnight.
It seemed impossible to complete so many projects!
Seeing Director Zhao's determination, the other shareholders also proposed to sell their shares. This made Zhao Secretary panic, "It's over, it's over. I can't see any hope for Xiao Group. Maybe I should leave too..."
Xiao Wenyao, with a throbbing headache from the noise, knocked the files and water cup off the conference table.
"There's no money, but if you want my life, take it! The company doesn't have enough funds to buy back your shares!"
Director Zhao sneered, "Fine, then we'll see you in court!"
With that, he led the shareholders out.
As he reached the door, Director Zhao suddenly turned around, his face full of mockery. "Huh, Mr. Xiao, before I leave, I must remind you, pies don't fall from the sky. Carefully think about it, X International didn't even invite you to their relocation banquet, how could they easily hand over more than two hundred projects to you?"
"Even Ye's Enterprise, the top company in Haicheng, only received two projects. Do you think this is really a pie from the sky?"
With that, he turned and left without looking back.
Xiao Wenyao slumped into the chair, his eyes cold. What did he mean by that? Could it be that X International had a plot in giving him so many projects? But Xiao's and X International had never intersected before, why would they do this?
"Xiao Zhao, get in touch with X International, see if we can set up a meeting with Sean."
