Chapter 830 Powerless
The smile on Mr. Dong's face was ugly: "You are not afraid of me, but I am. Since you are so stubborn, I have nothing to say, you can go back!"
Dong Bo looked at the time: "I'll take you to the airport later, the road is slippery in rainy days, I don't worry about you going there alone."
The old man closed his eyes and rested his mind, and shook his head: "No, I will be more worried if you send me off. You'd better go back to the reception, lest the guests pick on your gift!"
Dong Bo wanted to say something, but seeing the old man's tired face, he had no choice but to stand up.
When he raised his hand to open the door, he still couldn't help but look back. The light from the incandescent lamp was pale and dazzling, clearly illuminating the old man's face, with many wrinkles on it. He seemed much older than when he left.
And it's only been two years since he left this time.
There are probably only a few years in his life.
Dong Bo suddenly felt sad.
He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Grandpa, can't you stay this time?"
Mr. Dong just shook his head. He seemed really tired and didn't bother to say a word.
Dong Bo said again: "Then, be careful on the road, call me if you need anything."
The old man nodded this time, but still didn't make a sound.
Only then did Dong Bo turn around and leave the door of the room.
As the door of the room was closed for him, crystal tears rolled down from the old man's eyes: "I can't do anything anymore."
……
After Qi Tianchen left, he never came back, and he didn't even call.
An Tianyu became faintly worried.
Assistant Bai would call Qi Tianchen in the early hours of the morning, so it would never be a simple matter.
Because Assistant Bai is very capable at work, and she has always been in charge of the company alone. If the matter is not serious, she can handle it by herself.
An Tianyu leaned on the sofa and watched the three children having fun, feeling a little absent-minded.
So much so that it was the second time someone knocked on the door before she realized it and stood up directly: "Who is it?"
When she first came here, she didn't mention it to anyone, even Lu Ziming and Qi Sisi didn't notify her, and it was even less likely for others to know about it.
If someone other than the hotel staff knocked on the door, she would not answer it anyway.
But what I never expected was that Assistant Bai's voice came from outside the door: "Xiao Yu is me, and Boss Qi asked me to come here."
An Tianyu was a little surprised, and opened the door directly: "Assistant Bai, why are you here?"
Assistant Bai smiled, and rubbed Jiajia's head that was in her arms: "Mr. Qi is worried about you staying here, so he asked me to pick you up and return to the villa. Is there anything you need to pack?"
An Tianyu shook his head: "It's nothing, just bring two suitcases... How are you doing at the company these days?"
Assistant Bai directed the two bodyguards to move things into the car: "As long as there is no problem with the press conference, everything else is a piece of cake."
An Tianyu nodded: "Oh!"
Assistant Bai asked again: "Is there any strange person coming here?"
An Tianyu shook her head: "No!"
Assistant Bai said: "But when you went out to the supermarket to buy things that day, our people found that you were being followed, and then Mr. Qi guessed that it was Dong Bo's people, because the supermarket passed by a hotel, and Dong Bo happened to go to the hotel to see you that night. Mr. Dong."
An Tianyu nodded: "You mean to suspect that he is following me? Does he want to attack me a second time?"
Assistant Bai sighed: "The dog jumps over the wall when he is in a hurry, let alone a person like Dong Bo, I think he can do anything."
An Tianyu sighed: "Tianchen is right, I really have to be careful in the future."
When she said these words, her eyes fell on the three children, and she remained motionless.
Assistant Bai could guess her mind: "You don't have to worry too much, Boss Qi has arranged a lot of people at the villa, as long as you don't go out usually, there will be no danger."
After returning to the villa, the nanny took the little ones to play.
Assistant Bai is usually in charge of the company's big and small affairs, but today she probably has nothing to do and is not in a hurry to go back.
An Tianyu made her a cup of coffee: "You called Tianchen before dawn today, is there something urgent?"
Assistant Bai sighed: "A shareholder of the company withdrew its shares. After I heard the report from my subordinates, I didn't know Mr. Qi's attitude, so I called him to ask him!"
An Tianyu frowned: "Then what did he say?"
Assistant Bai replied: "He paid a higher price than the stock market to collect the stock. He said that there must be no ambiguity in this matter."
An Tianyu sighed: "It happens that the house leaks happen in continuous rainy days, which makes things worse. If things go on like this, HSBC will really struggle!"
Assistant Bai smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. As long as there are no problems in our press conference, we will definitely be able to turn around."
The two were talking here, and the nanny came over and asked what they wanted for dinner.
An Tianyu looked at Assistant Bai: "My aunt's cooking skills are very good. Let me ask them to cook some of your favorite special dishes?"
Assistant Bai originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that the time was not early, it was almost time to get off work: "Then I'll be rude, and we can talk about the press conference."
An Tianyu then told the nanny: "Make a few of your specialty dishes, remember to make a few more fish, Assistant Bai likes to eat."
The nanny is also very familiar with Assistant Bai, so she agreed with a smile, and then turned and went out.
An Tianyu turned back and went to the study, took out the blueprint she had just drawn, and showed it to Assistant Bai.
Although Assistant Bai is not particularly proficient in this area, he has learned a lot from what he hears and sees every day, and he has some unique insights.
An Tianyu told her again about his creative idea for the next step.
The two chatted speculatively, and before they knew it, more than an hour passed, and the nanny also prepared the meal and came out to invite them to eat.
When An Tianyu was about to take Assistant Bai to the restaurant, the phone rang.
She thought it was Qi Tianchen calling, but Zhao Xiaoxun's name was displayed on the phone screen.
An Tianyu was a little surprised.
Zhao Xiaoxun can be said to be busy with every day, so unless it is a special day, the two of them will not have any contact.
But today he called suddenly, presumably there was something wrong.
An Tianyu glanced at Assistant Bai: "Xiaoxun's phone call, do you think it's possible that he knew about this?"
Assistant Bai smiled: "The sky is going to collapse here, and the media is exaggerating it. It would be strange if they don't know about it until now. But having said that, I think it's good for them to know. You have backing, don't you, otherwise, with Mr. Qi's temperament, how could we take the initiative to beg them."
An Tianyu smiled: "It also makes sense."
She just picked up the phone and answered it.
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Xiaoxun's voice was tired and hoarse: "Xiao Yu, why didn't you tell me about such a big incident at HSBC?"
An Tianyu smiled and said: "It's not at the end of the mountain, so I didn't alarm you. We are now trying to find a way."
Zhao Xiaoxun sighed: "I've been very busy in the company recently. If the old man hadn't told me about it, I would have been kept in the dark. How about this, Xiao Yu, I don't have time to go there now, so I'll call you [-] million first." Emergency, I don’t know if it’s enough.”
As expected, the big boss of a multinational group has a lot of money.
Two hundred million, he said it lightly.
An Tianyu thought for a while: "I think it's better to talk about it after a while. We are not short of money for the time being. Tianchen said that if this press conference can be successful, the crisis of HSBC will be solved. If it is not successful, of course I need your help."
Zhao Xiaoxun said: "How is the preparation of the press conference going?"
An Tianyu sighed: "Time is very tight, because the designs prepared before have been lost, so now the company's design department is busy, and I am also helping, but the manpower is still not enough."
Zhao Xiaoxun didn't react right away, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It's easy, you guys want to make this press conference a big one, and restore some momentum for the company, right? I can ask my friend to help."
Of course, Zhao Xiaoxun's friends are all famous people.
If he can help himself, then HSBC will not have to postpone the date of the press conference...
After hesitating for a while, An Tianyu immediately replied: "Okay, but the time is very tight now, are you sure your friend has time?"
Zhao Xiaoxun smiled and said: "Even if they don't have time, they have to make time for me. Otherwise, what are they called friends? Oh yes, I remember that some model friends seem to be touring in China recently. I will give them to you later. They call and ask them to go to your side to cheer."
An Tianyu smiled: "That's great, thank you, oh, Xiaoxun, Dad, is he in good health now, does he plan to return to China? If he still wants to come back, you must help me delay Hold him and let him come back when the trouble on our side is over."
Zhao Xiaoxun replied: "Of course I know this, but you also know the old man's temper. If he decides something, he won't change his mind easily, but if he insists on going back, I will notify you in advance."
After finishing what he needed to say, An Tianyu hung up the phone.
Seeing her happy face, Assistant Bai guessed something: "With Zhao Xiaoxun's intervention, our HSBC will definitely be able to turn around this time. After this crisis is over, if we continue to fight Dong Bo, we don't believe we can't beat him."
An Tianyu asked: "But, I seem to have heard you say that Mr. Dong has returned. Is it true?"
Assistant Bai nodded: "Of course it's true, but he only stayed for half a day and then left again. Dong Bo went to the hotel to meet him, and the two of them talked for a long time, and I don't know what they talked about. , but when Dong Bo left, his face looked very ugly."
