C149 The Old Man
When he found out that his granddaughter Zhang Mengmeng ran away from home, he was willing to be a nurse in Inpatient Department of the People's Hospital. After attending to an injured patient named Wu Xu, he was stabbed in the arm by a bald man who came to assassinate Wu Xu. She was very worried about Zhang Mengmeng.
For the safety of his granddaughter, he specially sent Butler Zhou to the hospital to bring Zhang Mengmeng back. He did not expect Butler Zhou and his two subordinates to be injured by a man beside Wu Xu. He was very angry.
Last night, he deliberately let his son Zhang Zixuan go to the People's Hospital in the city and tried to persuade Zhang Mengmeng to go home. He did not expect that Zhang Mengmeng was not willing to go back with her father. This made the old man both angry and worried.
Therefore, he asked Butler Zhou to leave two bodyguards with better skills to secretly monitor and protect Zhang Mengmeng in the People's Hospital in the city.
When he heard that Zhang Mengmeng took the initiative to come back, the old man immediately became alert. He saw that he quickly opened his eyes and asked in shock,
"Ah? My good granddaughter is back? Where is she? "
" Grandpa, I'm back! " Just as the old man's voice arrived, he heard a pleasant voice coming from the door of the room. Then, a vigorous voice drifted in from outside.
Zhang Mengmeng threw her head into Old Master Zhang's arms and said in a lovely voice,
"Grandfather, I miss you!"
The old man remembered that Zhang Mengmeng had left home and was worried about her safety. He sent people to look for her everywhere. When he heard that she was injured, he was a little unhappy. He pushed her away and said unhappily,
"You went to the People's Hospital to be a nurse, a maid, and a knife for others. You still have the nerve to say that you miss me?"
"Hee hee," Zhang Mengmeng laughed lightly and said with a fawning face, "You are my dearest grandfather. Who do I not want you to think of?"
"I heard you are injured. Let me see. How is your injury?" The old man asked with concern.
Zhang Mengmeng immediately rolled up her sleeves and let the old man look at the wound that was still wrapped in gauze. She casually said,
"It's not a problem. I only received a slight injury!"
The old man used his hand to scratch her nose and said with a reproachful face, "Fortunately, you were only lightly injured. If something were to happen, how would we explain it to your deceased mother?"
Zhang Mengmeng said disapprovingly, "It's nothing. Those guys just ran to Xu. They don't dare to do anything to me!"
"Xu?" Old Master Zhang frowned and asked, "Are you the one who took care of the patient called Wu Xu in the ward?"
"Yes. How do you know his name?" Zhang Mengmeng asked in surprise.
"You don't have to worry about that," the old man asked. "Let me ask you, who is this Wu Xu? Why do you want to take care of him? Why did someone go to the ward to assassinate him? Why did you work for him at all costs? What is your relationship with him?"
" Grandpa, you think too much. " Zhang Mengmeng quickly explained, "When I went to the People's Hospital to work and study, I was arranged by the medical staff to go to Xu's ward. I only felt that Xu was very good to people, so I was willing to stay and take care of him. I worked for him... "
"Is that really the case?" The old man looked at her with a look of distrust.
"Yes." Zhang Mengmeng nodded and said, "I am telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask the nurse at the People's Hospital of the City."
"Does Wu Xu know who you are?" The old man asked.
"I don't know." Zhang Mengmeng shook her head and said, "I lied that I was a student who entered the Rongcheng School of Nursing from the countryside. I worked in the People's Hospital to earn money for myself."
"Does he believe what you said?" The old man asked with a smile.
"Xu firmly believed what I said. He felt that my hands were tight, and he even gave me ten thousand yuan in advance for my care..." Zhang Mengmeng nodded and said.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Mengmeng did not mention that Wu Xu was the son-in-law of the former chairman of Gu Industries, Gu Yuming. Gu Yuming and his driver forced Shen Ao, who injured Wu Xu, to compensate Wu Xu with 1 million yuan in medical and mental compensation, as well as the fact that Gu Xiaohui was prepared to divorce Wu Xu.
After listening to Zhang Mengmeng's narration, the old man was delighted in his heart. He gave a thumbs up and said, "I didn't expect my good granddaughter to be so independent and know how to make money."
"Wasn't this forced by my father?" Zhang Mengmeng puffed up her cheeks and said.
"Why?" The old man asked in puzzlement.
"If my father didn't bring Lin Xiaoman, that vixen home, could I have left home and gone out to earn money?" Zhang Mengmeng complained.
"Didn't I give you a credit card? Why is there no money?" The old man asked doubtfully.
" I don't want to use your money. I just want to prove it to you. After leaving you, I can still feed myself. What I can't be angry about is... That vixen Lin Xiaoman is only a few years older than me. Why is she my stepmother?" Zhang Mengmeng said angrily.
" Your father volunteered. We have no choice. As long as they live well, it's fine. Why do you care about Lin Xiaoman's age? " The old man consoled her.
The old man had scolded his son many times over the matter of his son Zhang Zixuan and Lin Xiaoman. But he insisted on not listening. He would not marry anyone except Lin Xiaoman. The old man had no choice but to acquiesce to this marriage. However, this kind of thing... He did not want to mention it to his granddaughter, Zhang Mengmeng. He felt somewhat helpless.
"But I ran away from home because I didn't like that vixen." Zhang Mengmeng explained.
"Since you don't want to see Lin Xiaoman, move in here with me. What do you think?" Old Man Zhang suggested.
Zhang Mengmeng shook her head and said, "I don't want to stay here with you. I want to go outside and make a trip. I want to do some business and let you see what kind of person I, Zhang Mengmeng, am."
"You are now empty-handed, even if you go outside again. He wouldn't be able to do anything big, "the old man said after a small blow to Zhang Mengmeng's enthusiasm." If that's the case, why don't you come back and help your father manage the Rongcheng Industrial Group Company that I founded? "
"No, I am not good at management. If you let me come back to manage the company, I'm afraid it will disappoint you. " Zhang Mengmeng paused for a moment and said, "However, I do have a very good project. I wonder if you're interested in it, Grandfather?"
" What project? " The old man asked with some interest.
Zhang Mengmeng took out the Rongcheng that she had edited and printed out by Wu Xu from her bag. She handed it to the old man and said:
"Grandpa, this is the proposal for this project that Xu and I came up with after our field trip. What do you think?"
"Is that so? This is the work of my good granddaughter. I have to take a good look at it!"
As Old Man Zhang spoke, he stretched out his hand to receive the proposal. He picked up a pair of reading glasses from the table and put them on his eye sockets before carefully reading them.
