When Su Xiaomeng said this, her already somewhat swollen eyes turned red.

In her heart, her father was the kind of little old man who would always be cheerful and joke with his grandchildren, even into his eighties.

Not like now, where he couldn’t even lift his head in guilt when facing his own daughter.

This made Su Xiaomeng suffer greatly.

Su Chengji didn’t know what to say; there are many truths he understood but couldn’t practice.

Having his son-in-law risk his life to save him, Su Chengji never felt that an ordinary man like him was worth such a price...

Not worth it...

It’s far too little worth... 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Dad, if you stay like this, it’ll make me very uncomfortable; it’ll make Shixiu very uncomfortable... really."

"..."

"Get better soon. Are you planning to abandon your botanical garden halfway?"

"..."

"That was given to you by Shixiu. If you don’t oversee it, I think those workers will definitely slack off, maybe the land will be measured an inch more, a bit less... Aren’t you worried?"

Su Chengji’s expression finally changed at this moment.

Su Xiaomeng stood up and walked behind her father, hugging him from the back,

"Your daughter here, I’m strong, much stronger than you think. Do you know why?"

"...Why?"

"Because since she was young, she saw a very, very optimistic man, the kind who would face even the collapse of the sky with a smile and tell jokes to make everyone laugh."

"Because this man is her father, and his blood runs in her veins. Do you think she would not be strong and brave?"

"..."

"When the botanical garden is finished, I want to see you there, Dad, planting all the flowers you like. I think that would be so beautiful."

"Alright... alright!"

"Living means moving forward. Shixiu just made the choice he thought was right."

"Dad, if he hadn’t gone to save you... then I would think it wasn’t worth it. So I hope you remember..."

"When I was little, you treated me as everything. Now that you’re older, we’ll treat you as everything."

After Su Xiaomeng finished speaking, she tilted her head and gave Su Chengji a heavy kiss on the cheek!

"I’m going to the company, you guys stay here, and I’ll go fight in the front line!"

As Su Xiaomeng said this, she clenched her fist and raised it high with spirit!

After speaking, she laughed at herself first.

"Meng Meng, be sure to remember to eat... okay?"

Su Chengji held her hand and reminded her.

"Okay!"

Su Xiaomeng responded, then picked up her bag and left the door.

The door closed, and after a moment of silence in the house, Su Chengji imitated his daughter and clenched his fist, thrusting it upwards,

"Yes! I must work hard! At least make something out of the garden my son-in-law gave me!"

"Enough with your ’something,’ eat your meal!"

Bai Sixian lightly patted his head and couldn’t help but laugh.

Xiao Meng reached the company at eight-thirty, earlier than most employees.

She entered through the main entrance, almost smiling and saying "Good morning" to every company employee.

Most employees still held a respectful attitude towards Su Xiaomeng, as the position of the CEO’s wife was initially out of reach.

In the past, when Yin Shixiu was around, Su Xiaomeng had come to the company a few times, always through the side entrance.

She dressed plainly, and when standing among the employees, no one recognized her.

The employees of the Yin Group were somewhat curious about the CEO’s wife, and now, seeing her true self, many were quite surprised.

She was quite young, undeniably beautiful and charming, with a remarkably strong family background!

Yin Shixiu was definitely not a very approachable boss, especially for the lowest-level employees in the company.

Now, on Su Xiaomeng’s first day in office, her warm greetings to the employees indeed surprised many.

Of course, there were also some employees who, holding a ’wait and see’ attitude, were waiting for this young female CEO to make a fool of herself.

Xiao Meng entered the office, and Secretary Luo came in to report the day’s work schedule to her.

Su Xiaomeng listened, asking questions whenever she didn’t understand.

Secretary Luo was a woman with high emotional and intellectual intelligence, which was why she earned Yin Shixiu’s appreciation and reached the position of Chief Secretary at Yin Group in her early thirties, with a million-dollar annual salary.

Xiao Meng showed her lack of understanding and confusion.

She didn’t show any disdain or contempt, but instead patiently explained to her.

The content, reasons, and possible problems and conflicts in the meetings.

The intent, operation, and future progress of various projects.

Su Xiaomeng sat in the president’s chair, looking just like a student, listening and instinctively jotting down important points.

She listened attentively, and seeing her like this, Secretary Luo genuinely found this CEO’s wife exceptionally endearing and sincere.

She instinctively slowed her speech.

Secretary Luo knew that when Su Xiaomeng confidently said at the shareholder meeting that she knew the Yin Family as well as anyone else, it was a lie.

The CEO’s wife was pursuing studies in the field of translation at Bath, so how could she possibly spend time daily listening to the CEO talk about the Yin Family?

Besides, the CEO wasn’t the type to come home and endlessly talk about company matters.

Obviously, Secretary Luo had to admit, at the shareholder meeting, her confident statement indeed bluffed quite a few people.

"Oh, Secretary Luo, bring that chair over here and take a seat while you speak."

Su Xiaomeng noticed that Secretary Luo had been standing for a long time, so she quickly and somewhat embarrassedly asked.

"It’s okay..."

"Come on and sit down. I have a ton of things I don’t understand. Once we leave this door, I wouldn’t dare ask anything, so I can only bother you here."

The reason Su Xiaomeng trusted Secretary Luo so much was because Chen Lan had recommended her.

She trusted Chen Lan’s words.

Secretary Luo did not refuse further, so she moved a chair and sat across from Su Xiaomeng.

She discussed the projects that the Yin Group was currently preparing and the quarterly plans set during Yin Shixiu’s meetings.

Su Xiaomeng didn’t rush to make any changes.

Being able to follow through with the plans Yin Shixiu originally set and steadily guide the steps of the Yin Family was quite an achievement for her.

She hoped that before that, he could come back.

Secretary Luo remained in the president’s office for two hours.

As lunchtime approached, Chen Lan brought in some lunch,

"I didn’t know what you two like, so I just bought some random stuff."

"Wow! I’m just getting hungry, come on!"

As she spoke, Su Xiaomeng hurriedly stacked the documents on the desk to the side, using the clean president’s desk as a dining table.

Chen Lan and Secretary Luo exchanged glances, Su Xiaomeng blinked,

"What’s wrong?"

"Hmm..."

"Come on, let’s eat. Chen Lan, bring another chair over."

Urged by Su Xiaomeng, Chen Lan just mumbled and went along, after all...

Eating on Yin Shixiu’s big desk was definitely a delightful thing!

The three of them ate while continuing their discussion.

"The most important upcoming task should be the renewal of the annual cooperation with Bill Group."

Bill Group...
