Chapter 996: Chapter 0996: Feeling Unwell

When Luo Fei drove away from the underground parking garage, Xia Lan had many questions to ask Ye Qiu while in the car. Luo Fei is now Xia Lan’s bodyguard, so he’s surely aware of the company’s matters. There’s no need to avoid him now.

...

After An Lijun and Deng Zhiyong left the Eiffel Chain Hotel headquarters building, outside, they directly cursed Xia Lan, calling her a clueless bitch.

At least in their view, it wouldn’t be long before Xia Lan would be begging them for help.

"Old An, where are we heading now?"

Deng Zhiyong asked.

"Of course, to eat and drink in celebration."

"Let’s go to a resort for a meal!"

Each drove their own car and headed to a resort.

Upon arriving at the resort, they parked their cars and got out, heading into a private room. After they went inside and the waitress brought the menu.

"Bring two bottles of the most expensive Wuliangye."

An Lijun said.

After the waitress left to get the liquor, the two looked at the menu. When the waitress returned with the liquor and glasses, she took the menu with their orders and left.

"Zhiyong, let’s drink to our success!"

After opening a bottle of Wuliangye, An Lijun laughed.

Back when Li Fei was around, due to Li Fei’s capabilities and assertiveness, they didn’t dare to make any moves. However, after Li Fei had an accident and left this world, they started to change.

They simply didn’t believe that Xia Lan, who’s always been at home caring for children, had much capability.

As for Ye Qiu, who dressed plainly, they completely dismissed him.

What they were doing now was all part of the plan with the Ning Corporation’s chairman long underway. In their view, the situation at the Eiffel Chain Hotel was unsustainable and would soon be sold at a low price to the Ning Corporation.

"Take a drink."

They sipped, feeling the liquor was slightly spicy, but very satisfying.

As the food was served, they drank and chatted more enthusiastically.

As they nearly finished eating and drinking, An Lijun suddenly felt his throat was uncomfortable.

Could it be the white alcohol they just drank too much of?

This high-purity Wuliangye, they only drank a total of two bottles; usually, during social events, they might drink more without issues.

Unexpectedly, now there was an indescribable discomfort in his throat.

Additionally, he found his throat and other parts, mainly the esophagus, very uncomfortable.

How could this be?

An Lijun couldn’t understand. When he sat down just wanting to swallow saliva, he found it difficult to swallow.

Deng Zhiyong noticed he was also feeling uncomfortable, mainly in his stomach, which felt like it was a turbulent pain.

"Zhiyong, what’s going on? I feel really uncomfortable in my esophagus. Is the food here unsanitary, or was the alcohol too damaging?"

"My stomach, it’s really uncomfortable, very painful, like it’s turning over. I wonder if it’s bleeding or if the stomach has perforated!"

Gradually, An Lijun and Deng Zhiyong found that one mainly had esophageal discomfort, and the other had stomach discomfort, with An Lijun experiencing severe pain behind the sternum.

What’s happening?

They were unsure and certainly needed to go to the hospital for a check-up.

As they intended to leave and drive away, they found themselves too much in pain to walk, urgently calling for a waitress.

The waitress outside the private room heard them and came in to find their faces had changed.

"Quick, call for an ambulance, we’re both unwell."

An Lijun shouted.

The waitress was startled and ran out to call the resort manager.

Upon seeing the situation of these two guests, the resort manager also assumed there was an issue with the food.

Especially with Deng Zhiyong having stomach issues, what else could it be but the food?

However, he didn’t dare speak out loud, fearing other customers might hear. So he asked the waitress to check if other guests in the private rooms were experiencing any problems.

Soon, the waitress returned and said, "Manager, all other guests are fine."

"Then it’s definitely not the food issue but a personal health problem with these two guests."

However, given the severity of their situation, they still needed to promptly call for an ambulance.

About thirty minutes later, when the ambulance arrived, the immobilized An Lijun and Deng Zhiyong were carried onto the stretcher and into the ambulance.

The ambulance then drove away from the resort, heading towards the hospital.

After being taken to the hospital for examinations, since they had just been eating and drinking at the resort, the doctors initially suspected it was food-related.

But after detailed examinations on the two, it was soon evident and excluded as a food issue from the resort.

However, as for the specific cause, it was still unknown, pending further examination.

...

Luo Fei drove to a Jiangnan restaurant, parked the car, and the three of them got out, going into the Jiangnan restaurant where they sat down.

After ordering food, Xia Lan said, "I suspect that Secretary Su is problematic. After all, given how many issues suddenly arose in the company, she surprisingly didn’t know beforehand."

"You can dismiss her directly."

"I’ve long wanted to do that. Initially, I planned for Bai Mei to gradually replace her. But I found Bai Mei’s work capability and company familiarity far inferior to Su Xiaomin, so she had to stay."

"When you return, first transfer her to another department. After monitoring her situation for a while, if there is indeed a problem, dismiss her directly, or even turn her over to the police. If everything is fine, yet given her previous connections with Feng Zhiqiang and the five shareholders, she should be let go still."

Xia Lan didn’t want to keep her, but hadn’t found a replacement yet.

Plus, with so many recent issues in the company, Xia Lan had no choice but to endure.

"I’ll see if I can help you find a suitable candidate internally. If not, we’ll have to look externally."

As the president’s secretary, most of the time, it is the secretary assisting with tasks. So if a secretary’s abilities do not align with the president’s ideas, execution will certainly fall short.

This Su Xiaomin is quite capable, but there seems to be vested interests with others, so she definitely can’t remain long-term.

As the waitress brought over the dishes they had ordered, Ye Qiu called Luo Fei and Xia Lan to eat lunch.

After finishing lunch, the three headed back to the Eiffel Hotel Chain Group Building.

Upon returning to the hotel group, the three took the elevator up to the office.

Usually, Xia Lan had a habit of taking afternoon naps, but now, faced with these sudden problems, even though Ye Qiu had started resolving them step by step, she might still find it hard to sleep.
