Transmigrated as the Chongxi Wife of a Critically Ill Young Lady - Chapter 48

Chapter 48

She faced the audience, her frail and slender body held ramrod straight. Under everyone’s gaze, she slowly raised her arms.

“I’m very sorry. I couldn’t stand up a year ago, which led to the Ji Corporation’s crisis escalating repeatedly to an uncontrollable point.”

Not many people in the audience understood sign language, but almost everyone could tell she was apologizing.

This was a common tactic for leaders, but after that, she didn’t say another word of nonsense. She just lowered her head, and her fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard.

The tech-blue font quickly faded out, replaced by a familiar search interface, the homepage of the Ji Corporation’s platform.

Most of the hot keywords were for business districts and landmarks. Jiwanching clicked on a random link, and with real-time monitoring, she sorted out an industrial chain in less than two minutes and displayed it on the screen.

Her thought process was so fast that many people hadn’t even registered what had just happened.

Tang Shaoyun explained the data: “We’ve absorbed the best elements of traditional travel agencies and applied them to the internet and mobile internet, and we’re gradually moving toward a customized approach. The brand ranking from high-end to economic to chain, the ad space logic is the same.”

Most people were in a state of confusion and didn’t understand what he was saying. Only a few people realized what was going on. In the front row, Jiang He kept her eyes on Jiwanching’s operation.

With a few clicks, the screen was no longer the same interface as before.

Jiwanching brought up the pitifully small number of orders from recent days. She didn’t give anyone much time to react. She executed a command line, and a bunch of pages popped up. She stared at the computer without blinking, her fingers switching back and forth between the function modules.

Many people could barely follow her train of thought at first, but later, they just gave up and started playing on their phones.

Jiang He rested her chin on her hand, watched for a few seconds, then quickly calculated on her notebook with a pen. When she finished and looked up, the projected screen had returned to the order list.

Tang Shaoyun said, “Please look, with this method, the number of orders in just one hour will exceed the previous ten-fold!”

Those who were on their phones looked up. The orders were all completed just one or two minutes ago. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief. The time was correct.

Half a minute later, the meeting room was buzzing with excitement. An old-timer exclaimed, “This is truly a case of the student surpassing the teacher. If the Ji Corporation had been handed over to her earlier, not to mention being one of the top in the country, it would have been one of the best in the world!”

Jiwanching formulated an operational plan based on star ratings, popularity, and rankings, and she also developed a development strategy based on market research. She gave both online and offline implementation plans.

At the end, she typed: “The Ji Corporation belongs to all of us. Over 20 years ago, you worked hard with my mother to make the company a success in the industry. Although we are facing losses now, this crisis is nothing compared to the early days of the company. I hope everyone can work together as we did before. I will also do my best to assist all of you, but due to my health, I cannot promise to take on the entire Ji Corporation. Therefore, the position of CEO of the Ji Corporation will remain vacant for now.”

Even though the three elders had come out to support her, the Ji Corporation was such a huge company that no one would genuinely be convinced to elect a disabled person as their CEO just because of Ji Jinlan’s name and the 40% of the shares. She came here today just to use this opportunity to show her face, to make the people who needed to step down do so, and to bring the scattered forces back together.

But after her performance, more and more people started to stand by her side. Those with ill intentions didn’t dare to raise too many objections in the current situation.

After the meeting, Jiwanching exchanged a few words with the elders. Her body couldn’t handle it, so she handed the rest of the socializing over to Tang Shaoyun.

Cen Xia pushed her wheelchair out of the meeting room. The back of Jiwanching’s suit was soaked with sweat. Her forehead and temples were also covered in beads of sweat. She was in a state of extreme exhaustion.

Yan Shuang’s car was waiting outside. The nanny car had been used to lure the enemy and was now damaged. He was driving another business van, so the medical equipment was not as complete.

Cen Xia pushed Jiwanching around the side and heard someone calling out from behind them, “General Manager Ji, wait a minute!”

She turned around and saw Jiang He walking toward them.

Jiwanching’s condition was very poor. Her blurry vision could only make out the other person’s silhouette.

Jiang He said, “General Manager Ji, I took a taxi here today. Can I get a ride with you?”

Cen Xia frowned. Her hand holding Jiwanching’s wheelchair tightened. She was about to speak.

Jiwanching’s finger pressed on the back of her hand. She used her last bit of strength to lift her arm.

—”General Manager Jiang, feel free.”

Jiang He said thank you and got into the car.

Cen Xia opened the car door and got in, holding Jiwanching.

The seven-seater business van was very spacious. The two of them were in the back row, and Jiang He was diagonally in front of Jiwanching.

Jiwanching didn’t have much strength. She leaned on Cen Xia’s shoulder. Yan Shuang was giving her an IV drip. From this angle, the needle marks on the back of her hand were very obvious.

The words Jiang He had planned to say to provoke her were held back.

The IV bottle was attached to the side of the car. Cen Xia tucked Jiwanching’s arm with the needle into her arms. Jiwanching didn’t pass out right away. She slightly raised her head and looked at Jiang He across from her.

Jiang He’s eyes were light-colored, wrapped in a faint light. She smiled softly and said, “Congratulations, General Manager Ji. You’re about to become the new CEO of the Ji Corporation!”

Jiwanching’s lips were slightly pursed. She didn’t make any movement. Cen Xia was holding her, tucking the stray hairs on her temples behind her ears.

Jiang He paused for a second and then said, “General Manager Ji, you spoke so eloquently just now in front of the Ji Corporation’s shareholders and partners, but why didn’t you mention a word about how the Ji Corporation took a daughter from another family by force a year ago?”

Cen Xia heard her, looked up, and her eyes were a little sharp.

Jiang He felt a sting, and a slight pain in her chest.

Cen Xia spoke, not calling her General Manager Jiang, but by her full name. “Jiang He, she’s not well. Don’t be unreasonable!”

Jiang He was stunned, and then she looked at her, her eyes very hurt.

Cen Xia said, “This matter has nothing to do with her. I’ll explain it to you later. Please let her rest. She can’t hold on!”

They were face to face. Cen Xia’s eyes were very determined. Jiang He couldn’t understand her, but in the end, she moved her lips and said, “Okay.” She turned around and kept her eyes on the window, no emotion visible. When they were near the subway station, she looked at the driver and said, “Could you please stop here? I’ll get off.”

The driver found a spot to stop. Jiwanching hadn’t fallen asleep the whole time. When Jiang He turned around, their eyes met.

Jiwanching saw her slightly red eyes and felt her heart sink.

Cen Xia also noticed.

Jiang He didn’t dare to stay on them for too long. She picked up her bag and was about to leave when she heard Cen Xia’s voice from behind her. “General Manager Jiang, when you have time, let’s talk!”

Her body paused. She said, “Anytime!” and then got out of the car.

The driver started the car again. Cen Xia turned around and saw Jiang He squatting on the side of the road, crying. In that instant, her heart felt like it was being twisted, and it hurt.

She calmed down for a moment and heard Jiwanching call out “Xiaxia,” pulling her hand and placing it on her chest.

Cen Xia lowered her head. Jiwanching had already passed out, but there were still a few glistening tears in the corners of her eyes. She placed her flat in her arms and used a wet wipe to gently dab the sweat on her face, looking at her features.

“Thank goodness…”

There was still some distance to the villa. The car was very quiet. The driver had forgotten to turn off the sound on his phone, which was connected to the navigation system. Trending topics about the Ji Corporation kept popping up on the screen.

Yan Shuang’s brow furrowed slightly. He had experienced online harassment and never paid attention to trending topics, but when it came to the direction of online public opinion, no one was clearer than him. He looked at Cen Xia in the rearview mirror and said coldly, “What are you going to do now?”

Cen Xia was suddenly asked a question and was a little taken aback.

Yan Shuang said, “Make a schedule. At least three days a week, she has to stay at home. The daily workload cannot exceed six hours. Can you do that?”

His tone wasn’t a suggestion; it was a demand. Cen Xia was silent for a moment and said, “I’ll try my best!”

She wasn’t sure about Jiwanching’s upcoming workload, but she knew that with the current situation of the Ji Corporation, her pressure would be immense. But the game had already started, and they had no way out.

Cen Xia even fantasized about whether the system had a way for her to swap with her sister. She would take on the pressure of the Ji Corporation for her, but the system had been gone for a long time, and there was no way for such a swap to happen.

Yan Shuang asked about her condition: “Has she spoken again since?”

Cen Xia said, “Yes, but very little. A few words came out intermittently. She can say Shanqing’s name. She’s very happy when she holds it.”

Yan Shuang gave an unreadable “Mhmm.” He had heard about the photo of the “family of three” on the internet. A few interns were eating dog food in the living room that day, and they were very loud.

He said, “You need to find another way!”

Cen Xia subconsciously looked up.

Dr. Yan’s expression was matter-of-fact. He completely ignored the surprise in her eyes and continued, “For now, we’ll stick to conservative treatment. You need to help her speak first. I’ll intervene later.”

Cen Xia: “???”

This time, Yan Shuang did notice her micro-expression and chose to ignore it.

“Right now, we can only use a nutrient solution to keep her from collapsing. We can’t do any further treatment.”

Cen Xia replied with a “Mhmm.”

“For her legs, you need to massage them more. If she doesn’t move them for a long time, her muscles will atrophy quickly. The treatment will be more difficult later.”

Cen Xia agreed.

“You also need to find a way to relieve her psychological pressure. Try to push as much of the work as possible onto Tang Shaoyun.”

For some reason, Yan Shuang was more talkative today than usual, several times more. Cen Xia was very flustered, but she didn’t dare to ask more. She just agreed to everything he said.

Yan Shuang was about to speak again when Jiwanching gasped in her sleep.

Cen Xia held her tightly, comforting her repeatedly, “Sister, Sister, it’s okay, Xiaxia is here!”

Jiwanching couldn’t wake up and just cried. Cen Xia called out, “Dr. Yan!”

Yan Shuang sat still. He looked at the rearview mirror calmly. “It’s a normal reaction. It’s much better than before. Her body is weak, so she can’t wake up. Just comfort her!”

Cen Xia was a little angry, but more than that, she was anxious. She lowered her head and kissed her on the forehead.

Yan Shuang’s gaze shifted to the window.
