Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 574 - 12: First News (12)

Due to health issues, Meng Chang went home to rest. He entrusted the management of the company to a trusted confidant, and of course, instructed this confidant to properly mentor Meng Jingjing.

Since Meng Ting had no interest in the company, and he only had two daughters, inevitably, the company would be handed over to Jingjing in the future. This period was a good opportunity for Jingjing to get familiarized. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

However, just three days after he returned home, a major incident occurred at the company. A very important contract encountered a minor problem, which directly resulted in a major mishap.

When Meng Chang received the news, he was utterly devastated.

How could this happen?

That contract was incredibly important—it was a deal with a company we’ve had a long-term collaboration with, and it was a primary source of the company’s revenue.

How could there be a problem with such a contract? What exactly was going on?

For the first time, Meng Chang suspected whether someone was meddling behind the scenes.

But who could it be?

Not to mention that his own company also had a certain reputation, and given the marriage alliance with the Yun Family, generally, no one would dare to cause trouble for him, right?

But now the undeniable facts were laid out in front of him.

Someone was indeed sabotaging things from behind the scenes; the issue with that major contract meant that the company was going to have to pay a significant breach-of-contract penalty.

With so many incidents having occurred before, the company’s financial resources were already somewhat strained.

In his desperation, Meng Chang disregarded that he still wasn’t feeling well and hurried to the company.

Upon reaching the company, he found out the situation was even worse than he had imagined.

The fact that the company was having cash flow issues had spread, and recently, numerous blunders within the company had been described by outsiders in indescribable terms, resulting in a drop in the stock price, and the board of directors had begun to intervene.

If they paid this breach-of-contract penalty, the company’s issue wouldn’t solely be a liquidity problem.

Meng Chang, in his anxiety and anger, turned and turned until suddenly everything went black before him, and he fell straight backward.

At that moment, with quite a few people in the office, Meng Jingjing, who was standing beside him, immediately supported Meng Chang forcefully, preventing him from collapsing directly to the ground.

Others quickly came to help as well.

Meng Chang ended up in the hospital.

As his wife, Wang Meiru, rushed over as soon as she heard the news.

The company was already in a complete disarray.

Wang Meiru called back to the Wang Family. After all, as their daughter born in old age, the Wang Family was still very good to Wang Meiru, and soon they transferred a sum of money to assist the company.

Wang Meiru also made a call to Meng Ting.

She knew that recently her daughter and son-in-law seemed to have some issues, and her daughter kept locking herself in the room, refusing to come out.

She probably hadn’t even realized something had happened at home.

Meng Chang, who had enjoyed a life of success, was once the precious treasure held in the palm of the Meng Family’s hand in his youth. Now seeing him like this at old age, how could she bear it?

Wang Meiru told Meng Ting about the situation, and naturally, Meng Ting comforted her, telling her not to worry.

Subsequently, another substantial amount of money was injected into the company.

With this, they not only covered the breach-of-contract penalty but also had enough for the company’s original operations.

Over at the company, with Wang Meiru personally taking charge, things naturally stabilized.

As a daughter, Meng Ting also began to sit in the hospital room daily, taking care of her father.

Meng Ting often ran into Meng Jingjing.

However, Meng Jingjing felt somewhat irritated.

Unable to maintain her patience, she thought to complete her task quickly. Unexpectedly, that Yun Zixin, even at this point, was still willing to help the Meng Family.

She should have made sure those two got divorced, shouldn’t she?

And Wang Meiru, did she forget the fallout with Meng Chang from before?

Yet when something happened, she went personally to the Wang Family to ask for money and took charge of the company?

Originally thinking that some people shouldn’t be too entangled.

But now it seemed, within a family, there wasn’t anyone who was truly innocent.

Meng Jingjing was starting to become infuriated.

However, on the surface, she remained very obedient.

In the hospital, she and Meng Ting took care of Meng Chang together, and everyone praised them for being filial.

"Sister, how are you and brother-in-law? Why do I feel like something’s off every time I see you two?"

Wang Meiru was standing outside the door, about to enter. She had sorted out the company affairs and just wanted to drop by and take a look.

Unexpectedly, Meng Jingjing was asking Meng Ting about such a private matter.

She knew her daughter well—a bit proud—and she probably wouldn’t answer questions about marital issues.

"Jingjing, your brother-in-law and I have some misunderstandings. Things aren’t great right now, but once those misunderstandings are resolved, it’ll be fine. Don’t worry."

"Okay, sister, if you need to communicate with brother-in-law, you can go back first. Dad has me to take care of him."

"I heard that ever since Dad fell ill, although there’s special care, you’ve been by his side all along. You must be exhausted, go rest. I’ll watch over him."

"Sister, I’m not tired. Just like you said, we have special care here. I just want to show a bit of my sincerity since Dad treats me so well."

Inside the room, Meng Ting patted Meng Jingjing.

Outside, Wang Meiru was already in tears.

Things were so good before, and suddenly such a big issue arose with the company. For the first time, she regretted whether she should have treated Meng Jingjing that way back then; her temperament wasn’t bad, after all.

If she had stayed by Old Meng’s side, maybe not so many things would have happened?

When something happens to the company, if she knew, she would help.

Meng Chang remained in a coma, and the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong, only saying he was under stress and thus fell into unconsciousness, advising family members to talk more around him.

It wasn’t until a week later that Meng Chang finally woke up.

When he woke up, he discovered his wife and daughter by his side.

After learning about the events of the past week, Meng Chang was filled with emotions.

Afterward, examinations indicated everything was well, and he was discharged.

After being discharged, Wang Meiru’s demeanor toward Meng Jingjing changed significantly, becoming much gentler.

Meng Chang was very delighted.

He knew his wife felt sorry for him.

But Meng Jingjing wasn’t happy at heart.

The more loving they appeared, and the better Meng Chang became, the more they highlighted how pitiful the original person was.

After some thought, that night, Meng Jingjing made a phone call.

The next day, Meng Jingjing arranged to meet Meng Ting for a meal.

"Sister, I heard the barbecue here is quite delicious and wanted to invite you for a big meal. Since Dad fell ill, no one was in the mood to eat. Now that the storm has passed, we should have a good meal."

Meng Ting smiled, though she wasn’t particularly enthusiastic.

This barbecue restaurant was by a small river, and the window of their booth opened to a view of the clear water, making the scenery quite appealing.

"Sister, you and brother-in-law haven’t reconciled yet?"

Meng Ting’s expression stiffened, and tears welled up in her eyes: "No, we haven’t."

Meng Jingjing quickly moved closer and comforted her: "Sister, don’t cry, okay? What’s going on? Why is brother-in-law acting so harshly toward you?"
